Abandoned Cabin in the Woods

Her head swirls as she came too. She groans as she slowly began to wake up. Her head was rolled to side in a very awkward position and it ached when she lifted it up slightly. As her eyes groggily began to open, memories of what happened came back and she perked up. However, her body didn't move much and she realized that she was tied down to a bed by large leather straps. She began to struggle then, flash backs of the time she was tied up from Loki came back and it left a bitter taste in her mouth.

The last thing she remembered was running with Steve, and being struck across the face. Wrinkling her nose, she could feel the bruise forming on her face and a sharp pain shot through her nose. Her nose was broken.

Her movement made loud shuffling noises and a sound from the other room could be heard. Her captor was making their way into the room that she was in and when the door knob clicked open, she held her breath to see who she will be dealing with.

The tall red headed women sauntered into the room, looking down at Alyanna with a proud smirked. "Good morning princess. Sleep well?" Pepper sneered sarcastically. 

Alyanna stares up at the women with shocked wide eyes. "You!" She spits, practically tasting the anger. "I knew you were up to no good!"

Pepper slams the door close behind her. Rolling her eyes, she gives Alyanna a mocking clap. "Bravo! You really are smart."

Narrowing her eyes, Alyanna growls, "What do you want with me?" Her heart clenched at her next words. "You already took Tony from me."

Pepper's face twisted up with pride. "You are right, I did. But I've decided that I want more," she says casually, taking a seat in an empty chair across from the bed. Alyanna had to lift her head up to glare at the red headed bitch. Suddenly, before her very eyes, Pepper began to morph into herself.

Eyes wide and mouth slightly open, Alyanna was stunned to see what she was looking at. "You can transform!? That means..." Realization dawns on her and she suddenly fills with utter guilt and despair. Tony had been right all along. He didn't willingly cheat on her. And she didn't believe him.

Pepper projects her imagine into Alyanna's mind. "Unfortunately, you and Tony's bond was too strong for me to break on my own so I became you. It was all too perfect timing that you walked in to see us."

Fury engulfed Alyanna and she struggles harder against the straps. "How dare you!"

Pepper suddenly stands and jumps on top of Alyanna, her hand wounding around her neck as she strangles and straddles her. "How dare I!?" She shouts, her grip tightening. "Many people in this world don't have a mark! Yet you have six!"

Alyanna kept her calm, she could feel her air flow slowly being restricted but she managed to get out a few sentences. "So this is what it's all about; you are markless and are jealous that I have six people who love me unconditionally."

"You don't need six soulmates!" the older women hisses, releasing her hold and allowing Alyanna to swallow big gulps of air.

She coughs and regains her breathing. The woman slides off of her, heading towards the door. "And you don't need one!" She calls after her. "Pepper you will find someone who will love you one day. But you have to let it happen on your own terms. Who knows? Maybe your soulmate isn't born yet. Tony went eighteen years without a soulmark. You just never know."

Pepper turns back around, her glare never letting up.  "Oh I know. And I will get what I want."

Alyanna was trying to reach Pepper now. She could tell that this girl was lonely and broken, but very delusional in her motives.  "You cannot control what is meant to be!"
