"And the danger is that in this move toward new horizons and far directions, which I may lose what I have now, and not find anything except loneliness."

••••
Sweet breeze touched my skin and I walked. Hands slightly touched with a soft structure. I glanced, it was rose. Rose. All surrounded me. I was in a garden, beautiful garden. Then I saw a large sculpted beautiful angel with no wings, I recognise it.

"Mom?" a sweet little girl voice. She suddenly emerged and run passed me searching for something. For someone. She wears a long flowered patterned dress, barefooted.

"Yes, my little (y/n), my love. Come here." said another voice. The child squealed happily and run towards the voice, she found her and hug her. I could only see her hair. Her ears with beautiful white diamond earring.

She called my name, she just said my name. I knew this voice.

"Mom, why did you hide?" asked the girl. "I'm not , love. I will never hide from you. I will always be here for you." She said. Mom? My mother? And,,.. and the girl. The girl was, was me.

" alright. Don't ever do that again. Mom, why did you put this angel here? is she sick? Her wings are gone. Its like somebody's take her wing."

"She is not sick, (Y/n). She's happy. Her name was Lovia. She fell in love with a human. The human was poor, a servant for his king, nothing match with her beauties. And yet, she still love him. She loved with all of her heart. She never felt love before. One day, the human is sick, very sick. That he almost die. Then the angel came to visit him. She wants to cure him. So she gave her wings to the human and it was magic. The human does not get sick anymore. The human was so happy, that he asked the angel to marry her. But Lovia couldn't, angel couldn't live without her wings. The angel dies in the embrace of her loved one. " tells the mother to her child. Then the girl smiled, little me smiled at her, mom.

Mom?. It's me. (Y/n). I want to reach for her. I want to see her face one more time but I can't. It pulls me back. Mom?! Mom?! Don't leave!.

Dark light emerged and its surrounds me. Then I heard,

".......... a girl. Sam, there's a girl here. do you confirmed this is the precise location? "that voice said,

I rubbed my eyes and went to the fridge to grab some cold water.

"Bucky, you're back already?" I asked.

I froze as I sense the person behind is not Bucky. The glass slipped from my hand and crash on the floor as I quickly grab something , thinking that I could defend myself.

" Miss, calm down. Do u speak English? My name is Steve Rogers." He said.

????!!!!!!! cap, captain?

" Steve, Captain America?" I said as I recognize his suit. Of course you do. You saved his life once. God, I didn't think he even knows I'm exist.

"yes, I am. Great, you can understand me." Steve said. " Of course I can understand you, vintage. I speak English. I'm American for god sake." I said sarcastically.

"You American? You said Bucky's name, James Buchanan Barnes? a moment ago. Do u know him- Ma'am, Can you please put down the spatula? I meant no harm, miss. "

I looked at my hand, ah great, there's knife yet you pick this (y/n). I lowered my hand and answered his question. " I know him. He's not here. He's gone. "

He looked around our house like he couldn't believe Bucky live here and with a girl.

Steve's curious face turns to a frustration face. He can tell that I'm lying. I really hope Bucky know that someone is here. I don't want him to come back here. they can take me but please not him. Steve walked towards where I stand, he lift his hand. Oh no, he knows I'm lying. I'm dead. Then his hand just passed my head and grabbing something on the fridge. " I just want to see this, " he said while holding Bucky's journal. Whew. Thought I'd be dead sec ago.

I couldn't dare to take Bucky's journal from his hand. He was worried about his friend. I walked past him and stand faced Steve at the edge of the mattress. Then, I felt something smoothly grab my hand. Bucky, magically standing beside me. Holding my hand. I held his back as he looked at me with assured face. I trust him.

"Understood," Steve suddenly talked. He must have radio in his ear. He's not alone. Then, he turned toward us. His jaws dropped as he saw his old friend back. Steve's eyes moved up and down looking at Bucky then trailed to which our hands intertwined.

" Do you know me?" Steve asked Bucky. I looked at Bucky with concerned face as I held his arm closer to me as to assure him that it'll be okay. " You're Steve, I read about you in a museum. " Bucky said.

" I know you're nervous, and you have plenty of reason to be. But you're lying." Steve replied.

"I wasn't in Vienna.

I don't do that any more." Bucky said. " what is going on? What happened in Vienna?" Bucky looked at me and he didn't say a word. " Bucky tell me, "

"Well, the people who think you did are coming here now. And they're not planning on taking you alive." Steve urged. " somebody's coming here?" I said. No. " That's smart. Good strategy." Buck nodded. Then, there's footsteps approaching from above. " upstairs," I said. Buck nodded at me. He released my hand walked toward the table. He put down the groceries bag. Bucky ...

"This doesn't have to end in a fight, Buck." Steve said. Bucky pushed me back a little bit. "u stay here no matter what, be safe" he breathed. Then he turned and removed his glove, revealing his shiny metal arm. "It always ends in a fight." . My hands begins to sweat. Its about to happened.

"You pulled me from the river. Why?" Steve asked impatiently. "he doesn't know, Steve. " I said to him . Steve looked at me then to him. " Yes, he does"

"Bucky?" I breathed

Then everything was like O.K Corral in here.
