"My heart still beats and my skin still feels
My lungs still breathe, my mind still fears"

~Aurora

Ali's P.o.v.

The pain I felt in my chest rose as I clutched at the sheets of my cot. Bucky had come to see me again today! I just wish everyone would leave me alone. I don't need their help. I just need to be left alone. I need to know who I am. I want to know. I wish I knew. A fake name was all I had left. And what could a name do? Could a name rid me of pain, save me from death or give me back my life.

I wish Bucky had never stopped me from leaving. There's too many people here. Some of them know what a monster I am. Some of them ask questions and some of them just look at me as if to say, 'Who does she think she is'...and I thought the prison base was bad.

I didn't realise what I had done until it was too late

I didn't realise what I had done until it was too late. My eyes turned completely golden and there was nothing stopping me this time.

I walked to the opening of the tent and peered out of the front hoping to see some scared faces, but I didn't.

I saw anger and hate in their eyes. Hate of me. No. How could they not fear me? I could be frightening, I could decimate this whole army base if I wished.

But I couldn't. The hate I saw was the hate I have felt before. I was no better than the villains who caged me, who caged us all. I'm just another monster.

"She did it! The demon!" I heard before I saw a gun pointed at my head. I did care if he pulled the trigger. The pain would be punishment enough. Tears cascaded down my face as the ash and smoke clouded my form. I hung my head and the fire recoiled into my hands, until all that was left was the embers on my skin. I let them fall to the ground as I wept. But what I didn't expect was a soft hand on my chin and a red fabric wiping my tears away. It was Peggy. She picked up my hands and gently rubbing my ash covered knuckles.
