Bucky woke up to the sound of glass shattering. Mackenzie felt Bucky move so quickly, it woke her up as well.
"What's wrong, Bucky?" She asked, rubbing her eyes with her hands.
"Someone broke in." Bucky picked his pistol up off the nightstand by the bed.
Mackenzie jumped up immediately, pulling on leggings as she followed him out of the room.
"It's HYDRA!" Steve shouted as the two were half way down the hall.
Hearing those words, Mackenzie did the first thing that came to her mind. She pushed Bucky against the wall and sprinted ahead of him.
Steve was struggling with two different agents and another who was repeatedly trying to taze him.
Mackenzie grabbed the one trying to gaze Steve and kicked the back of his knee. The agent was quick and jabbed at Kenzie with the taser. She grabbed his wrist and bent his arm so he tased himself.
She quickly let go and moved to help Steve some more.
But someone suddenly grabbed a fistful of Mackenzie's hair and pulled her off the back of another HYDRA agent.
Kenzie cried out in pain as the agent slammed her against the wall and held a knife to her throat.
The second Bucky heard Mackenzie's cry, he stopped, looking around for his girl.
He saw the agent now holding Mackenzie's back to him with the knife pressing uncomfortably against the sensitive flesh on her neck.
"Easy, big guy." The agent said, gripping Kenzie's waist in his other arm. "Make any sudden movements and I'm gonna cut the pretty girl's throat."
Steve's eyes were watching Bucky and Bucky was watching Mackenzie.
"I-I'm okay, Bucky." She forced a smile on to her lips as she tried to get a little comfortable with the position she was currently in. But the agent squeezed her waist, putting his lips close to her ear.
"Tell him that you want him to come with us."
"No." Mackenzie growled though her teeth, but the agent moved his hand to grip her hair again, pulling her head back as he held the knife to her throat.
"She's not a part of this!" Bucky shouted. "Let her go!"
"She's been a part of this since the day she retrieved you for Captain Rogers over here." The agent nodded to Steve.
"Press any harder and you're going to cut her." Steve spoke sternly, eyes glaring at the man.
"Well then, I guess you all should make a choice real quick. Either surrender and come with me or I'll cut her neck faster than you can move."
"Don't do it, Bucky!" Mackenzie strained as she saw Bucky nod in agreement, surrendering. The agent's knife let up on her neck a little.
Mackenzie didn't want Bucky to go back to HYDRA. Her heart was racing and the adrenaline pumping quickly through her veins clouded her judgement.
She moved as quick as possible, sacrificing a few strands of her beautiful dark hair and turning her body so the front of her neck was no longer easily accessed by the knife.
But it came back down and sliced from the edge of her jaw bone under her ear lobe, and back underneath her hairline.
She could feel blood quickly pour from the wound but Mackenzie wasn't going to give up, not until she knew Bucky would be safe.
"MACKENZIE!" Bucky shouted and Kenzie tried to fight that agent.
She felt her head start to spin as she focused on the agent.
He smirked, watching as the girl got light headed.
Bucky rushed to catch her just before Mackenzie hit the ground.
"Steve! Get a towel!" Bucky was panicking already. Everything happened so quickly.
Steve sprinted to the bathroom, getting a large towel and sprinting back to Mackenzie and Bucky.
"You're stupid, Kenz." Bucky said as Steve handed her the towel.
The only HYDRA agent left standing with the knife was now calling in back up.
"I don't want you to think you've got to sacrifice your freedom for me." Mackenzie tried her best to sound like she wasn't in pain, but the cut stung.
It wasn't over an artery or anything, but it was dangerously close.
"You're losing a lot of blood." Bucky whispered as he pressed the towel to her neck. "Natasha's going to kill me."
Mackenzie chuckled a little but then started coughing, the cut only demanding attention with more pain.
"Come on, big guy." The HYDRA agent said. "Back up's pulling in. She's dead already."
"Don't touch me." Bucky growled. "She's not dead."
"I wouldn't touch him if I were you." Steve advised, hands clenched in fists by his side.
"The ones who come in aren't gonna be as nice as I am." The HYDRA agent held his hands up as he backed away.
Three seconds later, ten HYDRA agents stormed into the cabin, pointing guns and Steve and Bucky.
Mackenzie was swaying in and out of unconsciousness in Bucky's arms. The used to be white towel was now stained red with blood.
"Get on your knees, Soldier." HYDRA Agent Brock Rumlow ordered as he held a pistol to Bucky's head.
"I'm not leaving her behind." Bucky stated through clenched teeth.
"Boss wants her too, so it doesn't matter." Rumlow used the butt of the pistol to hit Bucky in his head and knock him out.
Steve shouted and jumped to attacked but another agent tased him before he could do anything.
"Alright, boys. One of you tell Pierce we've got the two males and a semi-dead Mackenzie Anderson. The rest of you, figure out a way to get their asses in the back of the truck." Rumlow ordered.
The last thing Mackenzie saw before she actually passed out was Rumlow chuckling.
"You don't win this time, Kenzie."
Super short chapter I know I'm super sorry! But I had to do so much this weekend and it was very emotional. I got through season 3 of my new favorite show Supernatural and I know I know I have many more emotional seasons to go through. But ugh. Dean Winchester gives me the feels.
Anyways a lot kind of went down in this chapter! And cliffhanger yikes. Sorry.
Not sorry.
