Maybe Someday

True Love Knows No Bounds

It's been a few months since that day I met Peggy. Pietro has taken me out of lots of dates and we've gotten to know each other very well. My brother still complains when we kiss. Especially when he walks into a room and sees us kissing but he's warming up to Pietro. Pietro seems to be kind of avoiding me at points. He's never been good at keeping secrets. Maybe he's made plans for our anniversary.

I sit in my room, looking through a scrap book I've been making. I glue in another picture of Pietro and I before flipping through the pages. The door opens and closes, quietly. I smile and hide the book. It's supposed to be a present for Pietro for our anniversary. Before I can turn around, a cloth covers my nose and mouth. I try to scream. I grab something and try to hit him. He pins my arms to my side. I try to kick him but nothing works. His grip gets stronger. I feel so tired, almost sick. My vision turns black and I fall asleep.

When I wake up, a bright light is shining in my face. I cringe and look away. "Hello, young lady. How are you, today?"

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"That doesn't matter. You are going to give up information. If you don't, then you will be tortured. Each time you refuse to give us what we want, you will be tortured. Eventually, we will freeze you. You will be trapped in the ice for another seventy years. Do you understand?"

I spit in his face. "I won't tell you anything." He hits me and my face twists in pain.

"You will. I promise."

"Annabelle!" Steve calls. He knocks again on her door. When she doesn't answer, he reaches for the nob. "Annabelle!" When he opens the door, he's immediately on edge. "Oh my gosh." Steve grabs his phone and calls Natasha down. When she gets there, she drags Steve out.

"Steve, stay out of there. You can't touch anything."

"That's my sister's room! Where is she?!"

"I don't know. Don't touch anything. Why don't you go and tell Pietro. He should know what's happened."

Steve sighs before walking off. Natasha calls in a few agents and they start running over the scene. Steve walks through the halls and finds Pietro and Wanda in the training room. He walks in and over to the two. Wanda points him out and when Pietro turns, he knows somethings wrong. "She's gone, isn't she?"

"There are signs she put up a fight in there. We don't know what happened," Steve informs. He tries to keep a straight face but his eyes show how broken he is.

Pietro starts to cry and grabs onto Wanda. "How could this happen? This is one of the safest places in the U.S."

"I don't know. That's what I thought too," Steve says. "We'll find her. I'm not going to let her go again."

My face and back throb with pain. I can hardly feel my hand and my eye is swollen shut. It feels like forever since I was taken but the clock says only a few hours. "Why won't you tell us anything?"

"I will not betray my family. They are all I have left. I will do everything I can to protect them!" A man walks in and whispers in the torturers ear. The man nods and starts to unchain me, partially. He drags me through the hallways and eventually we get to a lab. I'm thrown into a tube and it's locked. I scratch and claw at it 'til my fingers hurt but it doesn't help. I start to feel cold and it scares me. It's like what I felt before. I scream until my throat is hoarse. Eventually, I can't scream anymore. A numb feeling spreads through me and I feel no more.
