Imprint with me darling.

Part 11 - Unexpected death

Bucky P.o.V.

We were sitting in living room and listening to stories girls were kept telling out loud. They were so interesting. All of their happiness and experience plot together in a thread of life. It's good that they both remember everything from their previous lives. They are so lucky. 

Even in Hydra they had each other. I had nobody. I don't remember most of the things from my life. Steve is keep telling me stories about our life before the war and everything until my "death" but I remember just very few things. Shame. 

Maybe one day I will find out everything I always wanted to know. Or simply ask for Loki for help. Maybe he would be able to help me with getting all my memories back just like he did with Amelie. 

Something blew up on the other side of the floor all of us were in. I took out all my guns from all hides placed around the room and scanned for possible threat. I payed attention to little details. Just like Hydra trained me to do. Because of their tough training I was spending most of my time on observing environment for possible snipers and threats.

Amelie and Crystal lurk near the entrance. To just in case cover us when there will be a need to move out. All of us got ready apart of Stark. His suit didn't respond to his signals. He become defenceless. He hide behind a sofa. 

Room was filled by so many Hydra agents. We killed most of them. I noticed that there is one left and he is aiming at Stark. Amelie saw it too. She quickly run to Tony to cover him with her body. Crystal run to kill him to make sure he will not have a change to press trigger and make a shot. 

She was there too late. 

Little, tiny seconds again varied on someone health condition. I didn't knew how wrong I was then. 

He pressed the trigger. 

In another minute he fall dead on the floor. Noise of shot filled the room. All of us looked at each other. We were search for possible injuries.

Amelie lost balance and fall on the floor taking shallow breaths. Tony took her into his arms. He looked like he was holding whole world in his arms. World that slowly was dying, falling apart in deepest abyss of darkness. He was crying. She smiled to him. I made my way to them. I wanted to help them somehow. Crystal also fall beside Amelie and Tony. All of us didn't want her death. But it's just life. We can't control of what is going to happen. Everyone kept running around the room collecting things to block the blood loss and put proper bandage on it. She was kept loosing her strength. Crystal was keep pressing on the shot to stop bleeding.

- Amelie please don't die. - said Crystal crying. My heart broke in tiny pieces when I looked at her in that condition.

- With your wolf gene you will heal yourself in a minute. - said Stark.

- Not this time Tony. Not this time. The injure is too serious for me to be able to heal myself this time. I'm so sorry Tony that we didn't have more time together.

- Don't be sorry. I love you Amelie and I always will. - said Stark crying and kissed her forehead. Then he slowly and gently kissed her lips.

- I love you too Tony. - She smiled at him and took deep breath in.

She closed her eyes. Little blood trickle left her mouth to slowly go down her cheek. She took her last breath out. She was gone. Crystal hugged her and cried her eyes out. I took her out of Amelie body and closed her in my arms. I did not wanted her life end up like this. I expected her to be alive longer. To be on mine and Crystal wedding, welcome our children on this world, see how happy her beta can be. I wish she could see everything from here.

- Please come back. - whispered Crystal. - You can't leave me alone in this world.

- Tony we need to take her body out of here. - said Natasha softly.

- Why her? - asked Stark.

- Faith. - said Pietro.

- It should've been me!! Not her!! - shouted Stark in despair. - It should've been me. - he added quietly.

Tony stood up and lift her body on his arms. Everyone was shocked about his strength. He carried her to fridge room and left her in there. In the mean time Natasha called Fury and let him know what has happened here.

I was sad too. Maybe I didn't show this but I was really sad about her unexpected death. I had towards Amelie sibling feelings. She was like a sister which I never had to me. She was second person after Crystal I cared about. I put my hand on Tony's shoulder. He looked at me with a corner of his eye. He did not asked me to leave him alone or not to touch him just like he used to tell me so many times before.

- It was not your fault. - I said quietly. - Once she said about developing ability she recently found out. She could see a future based on one decision. When the decision changed the whole future was changing as well. She saw her death. She saw saving your life. She wanted this. I promised her that if this happens I will tell you about that.

- I could've done something. Anything.

- You could not. The whole thing has been already planned by destiny. You will not bring her to life while blaming yourself. You can slowly try to move on and keep her in your heart.

- Thank you Buck. - said Tony thankfully. - I have one more thing to do.

- What do you mean?

- I have to tell about that to Loki. He was someone close to her as well. He should've know about it. He deserves it.

- Can I go with you?

- Sure.

We made our way downstairs. We did not rush. When we entered the room Loki stood on his legs with a smile when he noticed us his smile was gone. His face become neutral.

- Where is Amelie? - he asked politely.

- She is no longer here. - said Stark quietly.

- What should I understand by you saying that?

- She died. - said Stark and stared to cry.

- It is not funny! - he was furiously.

- We are not joking. - I decided to explain it to him. - Hydra attacked the tower. Tony's suit did not respond. So he hide and waited until everyone else finish them all. One of the agents aimed to shot Tony but Amelie covered him with her body. She had no chance to survive. I am really sorry for your loss.

- It is impossible. - he said on his bed. - Can I see her?- hope in his voice convinced me.

I opened his cage and made our way to Amelie. Stark was keep crying. Even when everybody could clearly see his tears he did not care. When Loki saw her body and used his tricks to bring her back I lost my hope. Loki seemed to be desperate to bring her back. But he could not.

- I don't feel her soul anywhere around. I can contact Hell if she can go and find it to bring her back but I don't think it would work.

- Leave it. We will prepare funeral. You can stay here. You don't have to come back to your prision. Just don't attack anyone. - said Stark and left the room.

His words shocked me. He would never in a billion years do it when Amelie would be here. He was the only person who kept protesting about him as loudest he could.
