The Winter Widow

Chapter 3

NATASHA ROMANOFF

I feel so terrible for what has happened to that little girl, going to the red room straight to Hydra must've been pure torture for her. I know the red room is not easy especially Hydra from what Bucky says it must've been hell for her.

And she's only fifteen! Oh god makes me want to vomit and she's been there since she was a baby is even more terrifying. Who lets their children go more over giving them up to the red room as a baby is even more disgusting!

I wonder if she was there when I was there. She had to have been there when I was I mean the timeline makes sense.

Aurelia and Bucky seem very close, that's good she has someone she can trust.

Bucky walked into the living room and sat on the couch across from me and the others. "Where is she?" Tony asked him. "Asleep, took her some time to fall asleep but she's asleep right now." He answered. "So why would Hydra and the red room want with a fifteen year old girl?" Pietro questioned.

Which was a really good question why would they want a fifteen year old kid. Who are her parents most importantly. Who leaves their baby in the red room? Why did Hydra take her?

Just so many questions to ask!

"She doesn't even know, all she knows is that her parents gave her up. That's what she's told me." Bucky said. "Yelena will be coming back next week maybe she'll know some answers." I nodded my head.

There was a scream as Bucky got up rushing after the scream. I quickly followed him and it was Aurelia screaming. Bucky rushed to her side trying to calm her down. "Hey it's okay!" He told her sitting down beside her.

"They're here for me! They're going to take me away please don't let them!" She begged him crying in his arms. "Shh it's okay no one's going to take you away Little doll I'll make sure of it even if it's the last thing I do." He told her holding her close to him.

"They're going to come after me James, they're not gonna let me go this easily. They told me they have big plans for me they're going to come for me." My heart hurts for her because she's just a kid who shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this.

"We won't let them take you, okay you are safe here no will touch you here." I told her as she looked up at me. "I promise you no one can reach you here." She looked down at her lap. "Don't make promises you can't keep." She said quietly.

"Don't worry I never break my promises, and when I say no one is touching you no one will." I told her as she smiled a little and that's the first time I've seen her smile since she's been here all day. "You sound like my aunt." She sounded so sad.

"Where's your aunt now?" I asked her as she shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, I haven't seen her in over a year now." We got to find her aunt for her then. "C-Can you stay with me James?" Aurelia asked him. "Of course little doll I'll stay." She then whispered something to him as he looked up at me.

"She wants to know if you can stay too?" Bucky asked me as she poked him in his side. "Of course I'll stay." I told sitting on the other side of the bed. She laid back down wiping her face cleaning the tears off her face.

She reminds me of someone I just can't remember. "Night James Goodnight Natasha." She said quietly. "Goodnight little doll." "Goodnight love." We both said at the same time.

Bucky and I sat here for about ten minutes before he announced she was fully asleep. "She's a tough kid." I told him as he nodded his head agreeing. He played with the ends of her hair it's exactly like mine same color and everything.

"She is." He muttered quietly. "She'll be okay Bucky as long as she has you she'll be okay." I told him as he looked down. "I feel bad leaving her there I promised I'd go back for her and never did." He said quietly.

"It's not your fault Bucky, but all you can do is move on now, now that she's here and she's safe and you know she's safe." I told him as he nodded his head.

"I know, I'm going to make it up to her." I smiled. She's going to be okay it's going to take some time but she'll be okay. As long as she has Bucky she'll be okay.

I can't wait for Yelena to get back so she can help us out and find her aunt and family. She deserves to go back with her aunt especially. I just hope she would want to go with her aunt.
