You frowned when the feeling came back, like something pulling from the back of your mind. It was strange and creepy, to be honest. Although you guess you didn't have the right to say anything about creepiness, considering the nature of your powers. Since you were a little witch, you could always talk to the death. It was strange and it made the older witches on your coven laugh at you. Nobody believed you.
And then it happened. You revived your first corpse. It was only a rabbit you found in the forest, but it made your magic change. It was no longer gold, but a mix of black and gold. It scared you, and the other witches too. The matriarch expelled you from the coven when she found out, saying it was black magic and couldn't allow a monster like you near the rest.
You were only 13.
Being alone from such a young age was tough, but it made you stronger. You could defend yourself and stand up. Well, maybe you weren't entirely alone. The rabbit you had brought back, Lola, was still by your side. She was a good company, and the ravages of death weren't quite gone, so she was quite aggressive with anyone that got too close to you. Sometimes you suspected that she was a demon and not a rabbit.
You two would travel around the world, never staying anywhere for too long, and then...you didn't remember much. Just that your life was a hurricane, everything seemed to happen so fast and you didn't really have time to bond with anyone. That's why it was so strange to be living on Westview, with so many people around you, acting strange but friendly.
You could see the pain in their eyes, but they were smiling? And then you'd feel that sensation as if someone was trying to get into your mind. Or you would get suddenly sad and desperate whenever you walked by the Vision house. It was all so confusing.
"Y/N!"
You jumped a little and turned to see Wanda walking up to you. You smiled but couldn't help but feel a little intimidated. There was something about her.
"Hi, Mrs. Maximoff" you forced a smile as the redhead walked up to you "What can I do for you?"
You frowned when you said that. It wasn't your intention. Something just pulled the words out of your mouth, as if you were supposed to say them, like a script. You got suspicious when you noticed the smile on Wanda's lips. She had wanted you to ask that.
"Oh well, you see" she started "It seems like I'm having trouble with Vision"
"Trouble?"
"Yes, yes, he seems to be a little...off, distant if you will. It's like my relationship with him is starting to die"
You didn't like the way she said that.
"Well, I'm really sorry for it" you said "have you tried talking to him about how you feel? Maybe that will help" you forced another smile
"Oh I did" she said "But I'm afraid it didn't work. You see, it's hard to make someone listen to you when they have dead ears" she joked
You laughed because you had the feeling this wasn't a woman you would like to piss off, but you were getting scared of her. Really scared.
Lola must have sensed your fear because she suddenly appeared next to the woman and made a noise that made her jump a little. You took the opportunity your bunny gave you.
"Oh dear, I am so sorry" you lied "I don't know how she keeps escaping. I'll take her home before she causes any trouble".
You took Lola in your arms and gave her one last fake smile before walking, almost running if you were honest, away from there. You didn't even need to turn around to know the redhead was frowning at you, and you could feel the same thing trying to pull your mind. It only made you walk faster.
