Hydra had thrown me into this cell, half in the shadows, I lost the days' flow. it could be a month or more but I couldn't say it. They thought I knew secrets my dad had in his files but it wasn't true. He tried to keep his job outside family life. maybe it helped him having a kind of normality. Till the day they kidnapped me.

Last night I realized not to be alone anymore down there. in the deepest of the earth. Another human was brought in a cell next to mine. I heard him moaning in pain. "Hello. can you hear me?"the moans suddenly stopped "please...why are you here? What did you do?" no one answered. "Who are you? Why did they take you here? It's not a place for a woman" said a deep voice. "My name is Erin.I was taken here a week ago.I don't know what I am guilty for but...please get me out of here!" The man came closer,crawling slowly with all the strength he had left "I wish I could...they usually brainwash me but this time it ended in another way..they beated and threw me here"

It was too dark to see his face clearly but his eyes shone a little like crystals "I remember I was screaming to leave someone alone, but they answered she had to die and if I had not been able to do it, they had found a way by themselves. They gave me no chance. I failed my mission and needed to be punished anyway". I sighed then my mind,still confused as I had been drugged,saw a light "oh my god...oh my god...please no....don't tell me it's you...OH JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! You killed my twin sister...you're...HIM! I never forgot her funeral's day...she was so young and...I was next!"

My anger grew to its top level: I was crying histerically because I understood who was the man next to my cell...the assassin of my sister Mel...the Winter Soldier! The jokes of destiny hit harder than we may imagine sometimes. "I still have the look in her eyes in front of mine through the mask, a begging one but she didn't talk to me.She only swallowed her tears and fell to my knees rising both arms.They never told me why she had to be killed,she was another mission to be accomplished..." I couldn't believe to my ears! That was too much to bear... "you killed my own blood!maybe you don't know what it means as you seem to have no feelings at all..starting from mercy..." I said punching to the cold stone wall till my knuckles bled. "I held her in my arms when she passed away. She looked at me and then said "I forgive you.May you find peace one day.If you'd find Mel on your way, please, tell her she will be missed" the Winter Soldier stopped my fight "What did she say to you? Don't play with my mind, I won't give up. Even if you'd put a gun to my head".

Mel was murdered by Hydra because she has been keeping all the files from our dad's job as a federal representative : each of them was about Hydra's members since the most remote past, useful infos to be condemned for all the blood they had and were still spilling. My dad had given her an escort to protect her, but the only time she was left alone was fatal: she knew too much and was a loose canon. She had disappeared for one month,till the moment we were so desperate that even the FBI found no useful foil for finding her: Hydra sent a crypted message saying she was going to be killed in few hours and the name of a place where she was. None of us between me and my dad was allowed to come. She was shot to death in cold blood by the Winter Soldier, her face and body bruised for tortures to confess some secrets maybe. We saw it through the screens of FBI on our phones. And they weren't able to save her. nightmares still haunted my mind at night.

"Come closer, I can't hurt you. I am not joking, she said what you heard.Now that I found you I kept my promise. She will finally rest in peace" whispered the Winter Soldier; I was shocked, did he really believe that was enough for me to keep on with my life? "I wish I was free to kill you. You'd deserve it..." he laughed sadly "nice try to go to hell with me, you know?!" I answered "I'm already leaving my own hell,since she is not alive anymore..." Suddenly something weird happened: he started crying, Some drops fell from his eyes making the front of his uniform wet "All the faces of the people I murdered are fixed on my mind, some stories still remembered over the years. Together with that of Mel. I wish I could set you free..." I knew about his force, his metal arm could bend the bars of the cells as much as it was able to choke anyone's neck till death "why don't you try? Maybe you can open any door or.." It was a trap but maybe I was lucky enough he could have taken the bait.

"I own it to you. If only I wasn't so weak...and injured..." He was lying, his skin recovered in a very short time. Due to the serum "you're a super soldier..." he nodded "I have no secrets for you, haven't I? Then let me try". He got up slowly on his knees not without any effort but he succeeded and started forcing the bars in front of him. The first two times failed but the third one went better and I was afraid when his beefy body passed through them reaching the front of my cell. He could have killed me in that moment and even fast, instead he worked to open the same whole to let my body come out. His metal hand asked to touch mine "take it and after you'd got out of here..run! They will open the doors and be careful to hide in the furrows you find against the walls. There's only one way. Good luck...Erin.thank you for being good to me. I didn't deserve it". I said thank you and even, if my body hurt in some parts, I did what I was told.

I heard a scream and in short some guards reaching the cells, I hid myself but when I thought I had outrun them, I bumped into one coming last  "you won't get out of here". He pinned me down while I was screaming and struggling, throwing kicks to his lower body parts. I wasn't strong enough and I fainted.

When I woke up my hands were tight and I was on my knees facing the Winter Soldier "you won't remember about her when we had finished, but we need to show you that orders should never be defied..." I whispered "thank you anyway, I''ll say to Mel when I meet her that she was right to forgive you.I hope you''ll find peace one day too". The Winter Soldier spoke "I am sorry for both of you. I'll be damned forever".

Eyes on eyes was our goodbye, the moment I felt the bullet piercing my brain and I was dead in some seconds. For very few moments our souls had met, I didn't know one day he had been finally able to make amendments for all his crimes...and leave a part of his life as a human being and not a machine, struggling against our same enemy.
