Forever and Always

Chapter 15

"I have to pee" I felt all the blood in my body drain. I got up as nonchalant as I could and went to the bathroom. I was trying to fight off the sleep. I sat on the toilet and read his text again. We should be home in a few hours, my love xx. I squeezed my eyes shut before responding. You're in bed with me? I didn't know what else to say. My phone vibrated and I flushed the toilet making it seem like I was really using the bathroom. Love? What do you mean I'm in bed with you? I turned on the sink. You've been home for a couple days now. Please don't call. I have to go back into the room. I don't know who's out there.

I heard a knock on the bathroom door and slipped my phone into the waistband of my panties. "Baby, are you good?" I shut the water off and opened the door. "I'm sorry my stomach is a bit upset" I felt sick. "Who texted you?" I walked over to the bed taking a seat. "It was Alice telling me about the boy I set her up with when we went to the bar" He sat down making the bed dip and put an arm around me pulling me closer. "She deserves someone good in her life" I leaned my head on his shoulder, "She does"

My eyes felt heavy so I stood up. "What's wrong?" I turned around and smiled at him. "The nights young, let's go to the common room. I just want to put on some sweatpants." He watched as I put on a pair of sweatpants and I grabbed his hand to lead him to the common room. As much as I wanted to scream and run I had to play it cool because I had no idea who this was. 'A couple hours' I kept repeating to myself. When we got into the elevator I let go of his hand and leaned heavily on the railing.

"Are you sure you don't want to just call it a night?" I rubbed my eyes and looked at him, "No I'm okay, I just want to spend time with you" "Okay babe" We got to the common room and I walked to the fridge grabbing an energy drink to get rid of the sleep. "Should you really be drinking that at this time of night?" I chuckled, opening the can and taking a sip, "I'm tired of sleeping, let's party!" I walked over to the coffee table and grabbed the remote to put on some music. I walked to the open space behind the couch to start dancing. My heart was pounding as the person just stared at me. "Are you not going to dance?" I turned to look at them.

"I'm not stupid" I stopped dancing and took another sip of the energy drink, "what are you talking about?" They walked closer to me and I backed up, "Alice didn't text you" I had to control my hands shaking, "Yeah she did?" making it sound more of a question trying to keep up the confusion in my voice, they smirked at me. "I think it's time we put the drink down. What do you say?" I took another sip before they hit the drink out of my hand. The drink can hit the floor spilling out the rest of the contents. "I don't..." They cut me off, "I think it's time we get away from this joint" They grabbed me and I was struggling in their grasp. The faint sound of the quinjet was heard in the distance but before that, hope filled me as I saw Tony in his suit landing on the balcony.

"You really think you could best me with your pathetic friends" they whispered into my ear. The quinjet landed as Tony was standing in front of us. "Okay let go of the girl and we won't hurt you" Tony had his hands held up. "That would ruin my plans though" they sounded sour. The team joined in the common room and the person held me tighter, it started to hurt. Steve shouted my name. "I wouldn't if I were you Captain" the person spat. I looked at Steve my eyes tearing, I should've known this wasn't Steve the whole time but I was stupid. "As fun as this is I have a date" they threw something as the team lunged and it busted, smoke filling the room as they dragged me to the balcony. "Steve please" I cried. All of a sudden the person morphed into what looked like a pterodactyl and took a hold of me with its feet before taking off, one of the claws puncturing my thigh as I screamed out in pain.

I felt dizzy as the speed was making the world beneath us look blurry. We dropped drastically as something hit us, the claw pressing deeper into my thigh. I never thought about death until this moment, I would never survive a drop like this and I didn't know what this thing wanted with me. The thing morphed into iron man holding me as we were still dropping, they shot something at Tony and I saw him drop off. It morphed back into a pterodactyl to make sure we both landed safely. They looked at me as my leg was profusely bleeding, "get on my back and don't let go, I will kill you if you don't listen" I did as said and they morphed into a horse and started running. We landed somewhere in a forest, I'm not sure how much distance was between us and the tower but I knew we were far. I held onto the horse with the best of my ability but my eyesight started turning black and before I knew it I passed out.
