I leaned back into the steaming water, letting it run over my face. I felt his hands slide down my shoulders as he pulled me towards him. His soft, warm lips pressed against my skin, and i could feel his chest rising and falling against mine. He smiled against my lips as i held onto his face. I let my thoughts slip away as i felt his tongue flick against mine.

The days were starting to get colder and colder as autumn passed. Winter was coming, which meant that any plans of destruction that Caroline and my father had would be put off. I was getting more and more skilled with using my new arm. Hawk was helping me with archery, and Bucky helped to make small changes in my arm to make it work smoother. Things had been moving slowly, but i was glad that we all had time to recover.
"Boys, i was thinking about driving back over to my place to gra-"
"Not alone. We both have to go with you." Hawk cut me off. I rolled my eyes and slid my jacked on. "Lets go then."

Bucky drew his gun at the door as Hawk pushed it open. Nothing. "No monsters. Like i thought." i said, pushing past them. It was still a mess, nothing had been moved or touched since i was kidnapped. The three of us shuffled in quietly. As the boys looked around, i grabbed a suitcase and started neatly placing things into it. "Hey Grace, you should bring this with you.." Bucky said, holding up a thin, sheer lace bra. I laughed as he turned his head and winked at Hawk. I ripped it out of his hand and threw it in the bag. "Maybe one day" i said.
"Score." Hawk whispered.

Once back at Buckys apartment, i threw my clothes into an drawer and walked to the bathroom. I put my toothbrush into the cup next to the sink, and walked back out.
Gunshots.
I heard it before it hit him. I watched as he fell to the floor, blood dripping onto the carpet. I ran over to him, and kneeled beside his body. Two bloody holes stained his crisp white shirt. His chest wasn't moving. He didn't blink. No pulse. He was dead. Tears filled my eyes, as i realized what this meant. Never again would i hear his voice. Feel his skin pressed against mine. He was gone.
