Me?! An Avenger?!

Chapter 3: The Dream

Steve waved to me then I turned and shut my door. I just stood there leaning against the door thinking about how sweet Steve was. I started to head to the door of the bathroom but I stopped when I noticed a picture of my mom and me on my bedside table.

"How did that get there." I said out loud to myself. Instead of going over I just continued to the bathroom. As soon as I got inside everything was in the same place as when I was in my bathroom at home. So I just made sure I had a towel and jumped in the shower. I let the warm water cascade down my back.

Once I was done shampooing and conditioning my hair I got out of the shower and just towel dried myself off. I wrapped the towel around my body and walked into the bedroom and went to the closet hoping my clothes were in there, and to my enjoyment my clothes were all hanging there color coordinated which made me so happy. I grabbed one of my blue tank tops and a pair of black and blue plaid pj pants before getting dressed and gazing at my large king size bed, at my house I had maybe a twin size that didnt fit me at all. Realizing that it was already 8 at night I walked to the comfy looking bed.

I just crawled into bed and relaxed. Within minutes I was dead asleep. Not realizing I was that exhausted.

~~~~Amy's Dream~~~~

I was walking through the woods listening to the sound of the wind rustling through the leave in the trees around me. I listen to the sweet hum of the birds singing and chirping. I could hear the faint crinkling of the leaves underneath my feet with each soft and delicate step I take. I was enjoying everything I was hearing and the very earthy dirt that I could smell. Then all of a sudden all the sounds around me die into an unnatural silence. Then a deep childlike voice pierces through the ear splitting silence.

"Everyone you love will die. All of your friends will perish by my hand." I get to the edge of the woods and I see my best friend Lexi standing there staring right at me but not recognizing me. I start to race toward her cause I knew something was wrong. "Everything you hold dear will be destroyed by my blade." I was 5 feet away. I could see the fear in her eyes and feel the pain coming off of her. There was a glimmer of light in the middle of her chest. I looked at it to see what it was. There was a tip of a sword poking out of her chest and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. I hear the pain in her voice when she screams out for help when she screams my name. I stopped dead in my tracks I tried with all of my might to turn away but I couldn't something was keeping me there. I tried to shut my eyes but someone was willing them to stay open. I couldn't take my eyes from hers they were full of pain and something else. Full of.........hate. She finally saw me, she finally recognized me and her last words were.

"Why didn't you save me.....why didn't you help." Her voice was full of pain and hate. She died there staring at me and I couldn't look away from her eyes as they turned milky white. I was too shocked to even cry, not a tear escaped my eyes. Then it all disappeared, I felt the sensation of being tied to a chair and a gag in my mouth. My eyes adjusted to a man with a green cape and deer antler helmet. He was smirking and had long black greasy hair. Then I noticed there were more bodies in the room that just him and I. At his feet lay the lifeless body of my dog that I had to give away a few years ago. There was a mussel on his mouth and he had scratches all over him as if he was just tortured for the fun of it. My body started to shake. The guy had a scepter if some sort in his hand and he pointed it at a guy on the floor of to the side a little. I didn't recognize him at first but a second later I see the muscles and the hair that I had seen countless times. He was on his knees in chains he was shivering and covered in cuts and blood and dirt. I started to try and fight my way through the rope to get to steve. I liked him too much to let this happen to him. I twisted my hands and got free. I stood up and raced over to him. I knelt in front of him and lifted his head. His eyes didnt have the same excited glint or the same happy color in them that I had recognized. All that was there was the look of disappointment.

You could have saved all of us.you could have prevented this if you just killed yourself when you tried. Steve said with a bitterness from his lips sinking into his words. Then I hear the sound that reminded me of fingers snapping and Steve's Neck broke. My body finally regained its emotions and tears started to stream down my face. I looked up at the man who was now standing closer to me.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME???!!!! I screamed at him through my tears.

I want you to suffer, feel the pain that you deserve. He said to me with a smirk.

IF YOU WANT ME TO FEEL PAIN THEN WHY DON'T YOU JUST TORTURE ME OR FUCKING KILL ME!!! BUT LEAVE THEM OUT OF THIS. I screamed for mercy

Then how would you feel the pain. He spoke. Then he stepped out of the way to show all of the bodies of the Avengers dead. Their lifeless eyes staring directly at me. I raced at the man once I reached him I went to punch him. But he disappeared, I feel to my knees sobbing.

WHY COULDNT IT HAVE BEEN ME!! I screamed frustrated and mad with myself.

~~~~End of Amys Dream~~~~

I woke with a heart wrenching scream.

Why couldnt it have been me. why couldnt have been me. why couldnt it have been me. I cried to myself talking louder and louder. Then someone busted through the door I think. I dont really know I was having a panic attack, and I was in a downward spiral. I was a wreck rocking back and forth. My left thumb digging into the palm of my right hand rubbing back and forth digging my nail into the palm.

Amy? Amy! What happened.. Amy are you ok?? Amy! Someone who sounded like Steve kept saying but I could barely hear him. I just kept muttering to myself. He came over and wrapped his arms around me, and picked me up in his arms and started to rock me trying to get me to calm down.

Shhh, its ok don't worry. Shhh Im here. Its gonna be ok. I melted a little into his muscular body. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck. My head was resting in the crook of his neck. His arms were wrapped around my waist and he continued to rock me. He wasnt wearing clothes except for a towel around his waist. We sat there for 30 minutes him rocking me, telling me its gonna be alright and shhhing me like a little kid, to relax me even though I was almost 19. It still worked on me.

She died he killed her and Penny and you and and everyone. It was all my fault. Why wouldnt he just kill me? I cried into his neck. He just rocked me till i slowly fell asleep. He laid me down in my bed again. He was about to leave when I grabbed his hand.

Stay with me? I need you to stay with me. Please lay down next to me. I said in a voice quiet as a mouse.

Ok, just let me get some shorts on. Steve answered me softly. I nodded he left for maybe a minute. I starting to panic and would never come back and my lights were off. So I kept my eyes squeezed shut and start to rock myself. But then I felt his warm hand on my shoulder and his warm body behind me. I turned around instantly and buried my head into his chest, and he instinctively wrapped his hands around my waist. This helped me relax and started to sing an old song which I knew because i love old music. Then I slowly drifted off to sleep again, and before I was dead asleep I heard Steve whisper to me

I will always be here to protect you. He gave me a kiss on my forehead then settled to sleep, and I fell asleep right then.
