Till the End of the Line(Book One)

Chapter Twenty

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no NO. This can't be possible. He can't...He can't be my father. This isn't true. I'm just dreaming. I must be dreaming. This is all one big nightmare. But I wasn't waking up so...It...Had to be...True.

I stared ahead at the wall as I sat, shocked and unsure of what to do. My thoughts were shattered when he spoke again.

"I just want you to know that I apologize for...What happened when you were a child." He said emotionless. I looked up and glared at him.

"You aren't sorry. You never loved me nor my brother. My mom neither. You left us after she was killed. And now you came back to...torture and threaten me." I said with a scowl.

"You can think that all you want but I loved you all once. And I'm only doing this to help you become more powerful. I'm close to perfecting immortality and soon you can be just like I am." Now it made a little more sense that he's immortal or whatever. I guess...he really is my father. I clenched my hands into fists and he kept a straight face.

"You're not helping! You're only hurting! And I don't want your god damn powers and shit. You've already done enough to me as it is." I said and he sighed before stepping foward.

"Now just listen-" I cut him off with a yell.

"NO. You just listen. I don't want you going near my friends ever again. Keep me here, torture me, beat me, hurt me, take away my soul I don't care. But for the love of god, don't touch the others or my brother. Or you'll regret it." I yelled before walking out quickly, my eyes clouded with tears.

I walked into a random empty room, slamming the door shut. I backed up against a wall and I slid my back down so that I was sitting in the very corner of the room. I pulled my legs up to my chest before wrapping my arms around them and resting my chin on my knees. I've never cried once in my entire life. But right now, I was. I couldn't hold them in anymore. So, I just let myself cry.

After a while I finally stopped and wiped my eyes. I didn't move from the corner though. I sniffled and stretched my legs out in front of myself. I sighed and leaned back against the walls.

Why me? Why did I have to go through all this? Why do I have to suffer? I clenched my jaw as I closed my eyes a moment. I was now in physical and emotional pain. I didn't like it either. This stuff never happened to me.

Oh what I'd do to be back at Stark tower right now. I'd give anything just to be in Steves arms. I wanted to see him so badly right now. I just...I just wanted to tell him how I felt and yes, I wanted to kiss him. At this point I wasn't ashamed or even embarrassed to admit that. It was true.

I had shoved all my feelings for him down and now it might be too late to tell him... I might never get the chance...I may never get out of here. And if I did, I promised myself that I'd never do one bad thing again. I would...Do good. I would fight the bad with Steve and the others by my side.

That's all I wanted. that's all I ever wanted. Before I became this, I wanted to grow up and live a normal life with the one I loved...Did I really love him?

That's what I've been trying to tell you this whole time. It was back...That voice in the back of my head. I sighed and dropped my head down. I had never had any real feelings for anyone. Or...Not that I knew of. There were some holes in my memories...Some things missing. Some things...I couldn't remember. Who knows. I could've loved someone. Hydra probably erased my mind or something.

I clenched my fists angrily as I thought about them. I remember working for them but honestly I don't remember anything about my time there. That was odd. It gave me a headache just trying to remember them. I scratched my head a little as I sighed sadly.

I started absently humming to one of my favorite songs, and singing it in my head as I did so...It was old yes, but I still loved it...

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
Have A Little Faith In Me

And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Give these loving arms a try baby
Have A Little Faith In Me

Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
From a whisper start
To Have A Little Faith In Me...

I smiled a little to myself as the song continued on in my head. It was a wonderful song. It was called, 'Have a Little Faith in Me'. It was quite uplifting, for me anyways. I sighed a little as I continued humming along to the song...

I stopped immediately when I heard gunshots nearby. I heard some crashing against the walls outside and it sounded like someone was beating up the Hydra agents...I sat still as I listened. Then the sounds of fighting got closer. I jumped a little when something hit the wall loudly next to the door. There was some shouting and more gun shots. My eyes widened as. Wait...Maybe they're here to save me...If it's even them.

I sat still as I waited. Then another bang came at the door. I had locked it when I came in so they'd have have to break it down. Suddenly everything got quiet; the gunshots, the fighting...

I held my breath and I thought it had stopped completely and they had left. But suddenly the door was knocked down and I pulled my legs up as I cried out, covering my head a little. Then I lowered my hands slowly and gasped when I saw who it was... He came over to stand above me. In one hand he held a gun and he held out the other. I flinched slightly when he did.

"I'm not going to hurt you. Just come with me if you want to live. You'll be safe if you do." He says and I looked up at him again. This was my only chance at survival so why not? After a moment, I grabbed onto his hand and followed him out the door, heading towards what I hoped was my freedom...
