The Dark Witch: Rising (Avengers Fanfic)

Chapter 23

"Because you're my sister!"

I paused, briefly registering the words. He'd followed me into the study earlier because he was worried.

For as long as I've known, Tony has always been protective of me.

Most times I know he wants to come in the study with daddy and me but I won't let daddy experiment on him.

He's my brother.

I don't want him to get hurt.

He won't leave me alone, however. I just wanted to talk to daddy.

The lights won't go away. It follows me everywhere. I broke a vase in my room when I didn't mean to.

Daddy says he'll fix me but I just keep getting stronger.

"Lys-" Tony's hand grips mine and without warning he lets out a cry of pain and stumbles back.

I stared wide-eyed as a long scratch began to form on his forearm.

Oh no.

The lights are back. They surround me and I can't make them go away.

No, daddy said I'm not supposed to show him!

"Lys, what's happening?" He backs away from me and I cringed fearfully at his expression.

"Don't. Don't be afraid of me." I begged not wanting to be alone.

Please don't run.

Everyone else can be afraid of me.

Just not him.

The rest of the scene flew by in a frenzy because Daddy found out we entered the study.

He's mad.

He's very mad.

Daddy grabs Tony and throws him out of the study.

Tony's in pain.

It's my fault.

He's saying mean things and I can't understand what I did wrong.

I don't want him to leave.

I don't want him to run away from me.

"Stay away from me, you monster!"

I'm not a monster!

Please, help me.

"I, hate you."

He leaves me there, crying, heartbroken. In tears.

If Daddy can't fix me he said I'll have to leave.

He doesn't want me to hurt anybody.

He doesn't want me to hurt Tony.

And despite what Tony says, I know Daddy loves him more than me.

Because if he didn't he wouldn't have done experiments on me.

A man is in front of me. The room is dark and the air smells of metal. I'm alone.

And cold.

I sit on a chair and fiddle with my thumbs.

He'll be back. Don't worry.

"Lorelie, do you know where you are?" He asks me but I don't pay attention.
