Nicole P.O.V

Why did this have to happen to me? What were empousai even doing this close to Camp's borders? Was it me? Did I bring them here? Is my scent that strong? How did they eve- my train of thought was cut off with the swing of an annoyingly deadly cheerleaders arm. And since acrylic nails are in style this bitch had claws. Like seriously?! Your nails do not need to be that sharp.

"Come on sweetie, gimme a kissss", the blonde demonic vampire said. Her eyes were as dark red as blood. Her face white like snow and that did not look good. She was smiling largely enough for me to see her fangs. It was a sickly sweet smile. I almost gave in. Almost. "No thanks, I'm not really into blondes with uneven legs." I sneered back at her. I then turned around and ran behind a tree. I got my gun out of from behind me. I reloaded the glock. Having Leo melt swords into bullets was the best idea I ever had. Guns came easy to me. Swords? Not so much.

I took a deep breath and got up and turned around the tree to face her. Once Jenny saw my gun she chuckled. "What are you gonna do sweetheart? Shoot me? Guns are made with lead. Those won't kill me. Amateur."

"Oh really?" I walked up to her. Our faces just inches away from each other. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to kiss her. But with as much strength and concentration as I could I snuck my gun to her lower abdomen and got ready to pull the trigger. "I made these bullets out of swords sweetheart." Her eyes went wide in realization but it was too late. I pulled the trigger and the bullet went straight through her.

I ducked as to not get monster ash all over me. She burst into dust and all that was left of her laid on the ground. Despite my efforts I still got monster dust on me and since that feels weird I shook violently so the dust came off. I then stood up straight and snapped my fingers and willed any remaining dust off of me.

I was starting to walk towards the road to where I had left my motorcycle when I heard a QuinnJet land nearby causing me to run for cover. And to me that clicked to only two thoughts in my mind. Hydra or Avengers. And since I am avoiding Hydra at all costs I pray to the Gods that it's my brother with the Avengers. Sure enough I hear a familiar voice of whom I could only identify as Steve. I highly doubt Johnny Storm would come this far out of the city.

"Alright Avengers split up and report whatever you find." Steve seemed to say. I was too far away (thanks the gods) to hear correctly what he said....wait...shit. They would find Jenny's body and eventually me. Ok....ok...I gotta think fast for an excuse....wait Jenny is shot dead and bloodied. An idea formed in my head.

I got out my small knife that I have hidden in my jacket sleeve and without hesitation cut horizontally on my left hand. I winced in pain but to be honest I felt nothing. I put the knife to where my spleen should be and hesitated for a second. Was it really worth it? Did I really have to stab myself in order to keep them from asking the wrong questions? I thought about it for a second. I heard their voices get closer and closer to Jenny's body. Then without really thinking I stabbed myself in my spleen. You can live with a ruptured spleen. I silently groaned in pain. All I felt was numbness in my body. No intense pain. I didn't feel like I was dying. Just...numb.

I slowly pulled the knife out and stood up. I willed the knife to appear next to Jenny just five seconds before Steve found Jenny in the grass. Since he is mortal through and through, he saw a body. All I saw was dust. I heard Steve call out, " Hey guys? We...we got a body over here." He sounded disappointed...maybe in himself?

I heard a clatter of footsteps run towards Steve. "What the hell happened over here?" I heard a deep voice say. I was bleeding out and was close to passing out. I mustered up as much strength as I could and turned to walk towards the Avengers who were huddled around Jenny's body. I pressed my left hand (which was still bleeding as well) on my wound and shuffled causing them all to whip towards me with their weapons raised. "P-please." I croaked raising my right hand as though to stop them from firing at me. My voice was hoarse. "Help me." Bruce saw me and ran towards me in a frantic state. Tony exited his suit and walked cautiously towards me.

"Nicki?! Nick! W-what happened to you?!", he asked, his eyes on my bleeding body. "Dr. Banner. You know this girl?", Steve asked him. Bruce ignored the super soldiers question. "Don't just stand there help me get her into the QuinnJet!", he yelled, carefully dragging me in the direction which I'm assuming the jet was in. He was focused on getting me to safety. "She's his sister Cap'n. Get the body to the jet and let's move before he snaps at us again." I heard Tony say to Steve.

Next thing I knew Pietro was on my side helping Bruce carry me to the Jet. They looked at each other and nodded. Once they had entered the QuinnJet both Bruce and Pietro carefully set me on the floor. Pietro stayed by my side while Bruce ran to a seat and got out a first aid kit and put a bandage on the wound on my stomach. And wrapped another bandage on my hand.

The rest of the Avengers walked in looking cautiously at me. I'm assuming Anthony had told them something about me. They laid the "body" of Jenny on the floor about 2 feet next to me. All I did was stare at Pietro. Bruce was sitting in a chair on my left and just observing me. The ride back was painfully quiet. The entire ride I just stared into Pietro's beautiful crystal clear blue eyes, talking to him telepathically. I explained to him what happened and why I did what I did. He understood. He always understands me.

We landed and the back door opened and I lifted my gaze to the light and saw Maria Hill standing there with a few other women with a....that thingy hospitals and abulances use to transport patients. I don't know the name of it. The women ran towards me and got me on the...thingy and moved inside. Maria walked with me and Pietro (gods bless this man) stayed by my side holding my hand the entire time. He never let go of my hand for a second.

"Hey Hill. How ya doin'-" my sentence cut short with a burst of pain. "Don't try to talk. You've lost a lot of blood. Their gonna give you a lot of anesthetic for the pain. Ok? We'll talk when you wake up." And with that she left, to talk to the Avengers I'm sure. The last thing I remember before the world slowly faded away was Pietro looking in my eyes with worry clear on his face and him faintly saying he won't leave my side and he'll be the first face I see when I wake up and that dorky charming smile on his face that I love so much.

Then the world around me went dark.
