Elizabeth nervously followed her father down a dark hallway of the abandoned building. "Ah, Agent Rumlow. You finally arrived." A bald man wearing a monocle said. "Do you have her?" He asked.

"Yes Strucker, I have her. She's right here" Rumlow said gesturing to Elizabeth who was hiding behind him. A bald man crouches down and stares at Elizabeth long and hard.

"She's perfect for the project" Strucker said, smiling and grabbed Elizabeth's left arm. "Come with me, little girl. The less you fight the better it is for you." He said and started walking down the hallway, dragging her away from Rumlow.

"Daddy! Daddy help me!" Elizabeth cried, looking at him desperately. Rumlow looked away and started walking away from them.

"Daddy? Daddy! DADDY?!" Elizabeth wailed, as she was dragged away and she watched him leave her. Darkness surrounded Elizabeth.

Elizabeth woke up and jerk upright in her cell bed, shaking and silently crying. He left her, her own father had left in the hands of that monster Strucker.

She heard her cell door open. She froze, if Hydra caught her showing emotion, she was good as dead. "Lizzy? Are you okay?" Daniella asked, leaning on the door frame of her cell.

"No... I'm not" Elizabeth said, rubbing her eyes. Dani walked over and sat next to her. Elizabeth scooted closer to Dani.

"What happened?" Dani asked, her voice filled with sympathy and concern. "I had another nightmare." Elizabeth answered. "Oh Lizzy..." Dani said and hugged her. "What was this nightmare about?" She asked.

"It was when Father gave me to Hydra, he did nothing when Strucker dragged me to his lab, I called out to him begging him to help and he just looked away and left me in the hands of a monster" Elizabeth said

Daniella's POV

Okay, two more people are added to my murder list. I can't believe Rumlow willingly gave her up to Strucker. Out of all the scientists it had to be Strucker, he is the worst and poor Lizzy suffered from his experiments of torture.

"Hey Lizzy." I said to her. She looks up at me with her deep brown eyes. "Yeah Dain?" Elizabeth asked. "Do you want to know what helps me when I'm scared?" I asked.

"What is it?" Elizabeth asked. "Well, when I'm scared I sing a song." I answered. "What kind of song do you sing?" She asked. "It's called Paradise." I said and then I started to hum.

"When she was just a girl, she expected the world. But it flew away from her reach. So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise. Every time she closed her eyes" I sang softly.

Elizabeth smiles and I continue to sing "When she was just a girl, she expected the world. But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth. Life goes on, it gets so heavy."

"The wheel breaks the butterfly, every tear a waterfall. In the night, the stormy night, she'd close her eyes. In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly and dream of para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise" I continue to sing.

After a while, Elizabeth fell asleep, I gently placed a blanket over her, I quietly closed her cell door and I silently went back to my room and dozed off.
