Daylight | Bucky Barnes x OC

xxi. gone girl.

Bucky waited in quiet contemplation for her to return, he didn't blame her for needing to take a minute. He needed to as well, his heart was racing and all he could think about was her. 

However, the minute turned into ten which turned into twenty then thirty. His heart was racing for the wrong reasons by that point, maybe she had decided to leave him. Maybe she decided this wasn't what she wanted. He shook his head, expelling those thoughts. It made no sense that they'd get this far only for her to just leave. Something had to be wrong.

Bucky headed to the bathroom which she headed to and walked in, not caring what people thought he was doing in there. He burst in, scanning the room. Quickly he noticed her headband laying carelessly on the floor along with a small amount of blood on the corner of the sink area. Something was definitely wrong.

Bucky looked down, trying to gather his thoughts and track where she might have been taken. Whoever had taken her couldn't have taken her out the front, so they had to have gone out the back door. Bucky followed the way to the back, noticing a few drops of blood here and there, causing him to panic more and more. As he got outside, he looked down and noticed Aurora's phone was laying on the ground.

It made no sense to him why they would have left her phone behind, but it all fell into place when the device started buzzing. There was an unknown number on the screen, but Bucky decided to answer it anyway.

"Who is this?" He almost growled down the phone.

"No need for hostility, Barnes. Is there?" Rumlow replied down the phone.

"Where the hell is she?" Bucky asked.

Rumlow simply laughed down the phone "Don't worry, she's alive - for now. Tell ya what, I'll send over some coordinates and you can come get her yourself."

Bucky gritted his teeth "I swear to god, if anything happens to her-" He began before the phone cut off and the screen was replaced with a google maps link to an abandoned warehouse a few miles away. It was clear there was some type of angle here, but Bucky couldn't quite work out what it was. All he could think about was getting Aurora back.

Aurora awoke to a banging pain in her head and blood gushing from a wound on her forehead from where she must have hit it when Rumlow forced her over his shoulder. She was disoriented, noticing that her hands were bound and she was being held in the middle seat of a car by two agents with masks on.

"Where the hell am I?" She asked in a slurred tone. Before she got an answer, she felt a stabbing in her neck and before she knew it, she was unconscious - again.

The next time Aurora awoke, she was somewhere else. The ballgown she had been wearing was gone, and had been replaced with a thin hospital gown with nothing underneath. That fact alone made chills run through her entire body as she scanned the surrounding area for anything that might indicate where she was.

Rory was laid in a hospital bed, surrounded by machinery which resembled what you would see at a hospital - except this wasn't a hospital. It was dark and damp and cold and for the first time in a long time, she was scared.

She sat up slowly, noticing various tubes attached to her, looking at where they led when Rumlow arrived to gloat.

"Good morning, sleepin' beauty. Really living up to the name 'Aurora' aren't you?" He joked as he pulled a chair from the side and placed it next to her bed.

"What the hell do you want from me?" She asked in a slurred tone, barely able to make out his face with how light headed she was feeling and how blurry her vision was.

"Who says I want anything from you, Princess?" Rumlow commented, the nickname forcing more chills through her body. He placed a hand on her cheek, brushing it with his thumb. "It's just me and you here now, no Fury to protect you. No Hill, no Barnes. Just the two of us, isn't that nice?" he added, placing his hand on her bare thigh.
