The Crimson Ghost (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 7. Nightmare

You had refused to kill that guard. He hadn't done anything wrong. "You're 12 years old now, you're old enough to kill!" Was what they said over and over. But you refused.

You were sent to your cell, without dinner. You were scared. You knew that skipping dinner wasn't the only punishment you were going to face. You sat on your bed, staring at the door. Waiting for the torture.

A guard walks in, and he close the door behind him. You look up, this wasn't normal. He walks up to you.

He lifts you up from the bed by your hair. You scream in pain. But he doesn't stop. He pins you up to the wall and starts to kiss your neck. You try to push him away, but he's too strong. He starts to pull down his pants. And he tries to put his hand down in yours.

This is where you snap. You grab his neck and try to strange him, but he manages to pin you down on the bed. You start to scream, trying to make him stop. But he doesn't. He just keeps kissing your neck. Grinding against you.

When he finally thinks you're relaxed. You hit him with all your force in the temple. And he falls off the bed. You get up. He stumbles as he gets up.

You rush forward as he's still trying to gain back his balance. You hit him over and over. You kick him in the balls, by this he falls to the knees. You kick him in the face, causing him to fall on his back.

You keep beating his face, till you calm down. You soon realize that he's dead. He is just laying there with his skull bashed in. You crawl backwards into a corner. You start to cry.

This is what they wanted, they needed to give you proper motivation. They have now succeeded in creating a murderer.

Five guards come in after a while, they see what you have done. They take out their batons, and starts to beat you. You just let them. You killed a man. You beat him long after he was dead, you were now their puppet.

You wake up by arms holding you. You're panting, covered in sweat. You try to fight as hard as you can.

"It was just a dream, Y/N, it's going to be ok." You hear Steve say and you give up struggling. You look around you to see iron man holding your arms. You look at Steve, his face is covered in bruises, he's bleeding from his lip and nose.

"S-Steve, I-I'm so sorry, I..." "It's ok, you're safe, I promise. It was just a nightmare." You lay down and tears escape your eyes.

Steve asks you if you want to talk about the dream. You go to the kitchen with Steve and Tony, you drink a couple glasses of water before you begin telling them about the horrible memory that haunted your dream.

When you're finished, you see them both having tears in their eyes. Steve and Tony both hug you. You get a feeling of being loved. You don't remember the last time you felt so good.

You ask if Steve can sit with you till you sleep. You close your eyes, and soon you're asleep. In a dreamless sleep.

(A/N- I really tried my best to not make this chapter too dark.
