FALLING ~ W.M. - J.H.

2.3

Wanda's POV

-Are you ready?- Nat asked, opening the car door.

We were in front of Clint's house, which was decorated for Christmas with so many lights that you could see it from very far away.

-I think I changed my mind- I said -I don't want to go there-.

-Too late- Nat said -Come on, let's get inside before we both get ill, it is freezing-.

I exited the car and started walking on the path, a small way had been created through the snow.
Last Christmas that I spent with someone was... I couldn't even remember a happy Christmas I spent after my parents died.

We walked towards the house carrying a few bags with presents and things that we would have needed since we were staying at Clint's house for a couple of days.

-You finally arrived! I was starting thinking you two got lost- Clint said once we got to the door.

-You live in the middle of nowhere, it takes time to get here- Nat said.

Clint smirked. -How are you Wanda?-.

-I'm good- I said.

-I have three kids, I know when someone is lying- Clint said.

I smiled and then walked inside the house: there were Christmas decorations everywhere and a big Christmas tree in the living room.

-Your rooms are the usual ones, you can clean a little if you want- Clint told Nat and I.

Once I was in my bedroom I closed the door and decided to take a shower.
Once I finished I put on a robe and went back to the bedroom, trying to find something to wear.
Outside, it started snowing again, the path was again all white.

I sat on the bed, looking at the snow falling silently on the ground, like my tears were silently falling on my cheeks.
If I was really healing from the dark magic, then why did I feel this pain in my chest? Why did I feel so empty? Why did I feel so alone?

-Are you there?- I heard Nat saying from the other side of the door -Dinner is about to start-.

-Yeah I'm... I'm choosing what to wear- I said.

-Ok- Nat said -You know you can tell me everything, right?-.

I smiled: Nat always knew if I was lying about how I felt and if something was wrong.

-I know, thank you- I said -Five minutes and I am ready-.

Jasper's POV

We won.

It seemed impossible but we all survived and were back home.
Our friends were leaving, everything was going back to normal.

-Are you ok?- Alice asked approaching.

-You were right- I said smiling -We won-.

She nodded, smiling too.

-You know I am always right- she said -We're about to celebrate, are you with us?-.

-I... I need to hunt before, I am a bit thirsty- I said -I'm joining the party later-.

Alice nodded and entered the house while I started running in the forest.

I went to Wanda's old house, I always used to go there when I needed to stay alone.
I sat on the house porch, trying to remember her voice, her face, everything.
I missed her, every day; but she was back to her universe, the place where she belongs to and she was healing, that was the most important thing.

I was about to leave when I saw a light and some kind of portal opened, a small man walking towards me through the portal.

-Are you Jasper?- the man asked.

-Who are you?- I asked.

-I'm Wong, I am from Wanda's universe- the small man said -I thought you might want to meet her-.
