Alone

6: I will Never Leave

After the fight with the Avengers, my brother, sister and I were all tired. So we all decided to rest until we were told what to do next. We all sat in one of the many rooms in the large building where Ultron built all his robots. Wanda lay on a broken mattress and watched her fingers as the red mist formed around them. Pietro and I played paper, scissors, rock as we lay on the floor across from each other. Pietro constantly went fast always making me lose.
"Pietro! That's the hundredth time you've cheated!" I said pushing him a little.
He laughed and said "you're just mad because you're not as good as me." I shook my head pushing him again, only this time pushing his arm he rested his head on, making his head fall. I giggled as he grabbed me and started tickling me.
"Say sorry! Say sorry!" He kept tickling me making squirm.
"Okay! Okay! You win, I'm sorry!" He stopped, releasing me from his hold. Wanda now looked at us smiling, and resting her head on her hand.
"You two are ridiculous!" She laughed as she said it.
"How is your head Wanda?" I said still seeing a faint mark on her forehead, from the weird arrow.
"I'm much better, my head stopped hurting a while ago." I smiled at her showing how happy it made me feel when she didn't hurt.
Pietro put his finger on the necklace he had stolen for me only a few days ago.
"You still have it? I'm surprised!" He said smiling still looking at the necklace.
"It's special, it reminds me of you." I said feeling the necklace with my fingers. Ever since losing my parents I had feared losing my brother and sister, so the necklace made me feel as if Pietro was with me. Wanda had given me a ring years ago, so when Pietro gave me the necklace, I felt them with me, even when they weren't there. I felt tears come to my eyes thinking about the danger we had been in recently. I played with the locket nervously, opening it and closing it as I fought back the tears.
Pietro noticed the tears and with worry in his voice he asked, "what's wrong Lizzy?"
"I- I just don't want to lose you guys. If I lost you I don't know what- how I would live-" I was fiddling with my hands and was stopped when Pietro grabbed them and held them. He looked at me, serious now.
"Lizzy. Listen to me. I- we will never leave you, ever. No matter who stands in our way we will fight for you. You two are the light of my life, there is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you." His eyes still focusing on me, his hands holding onto mine. "Even if you can't see me, just know that as long as you have this I will be with you. Forever." He pointed at the necklace, and opened it revealing the picture of him and Wanda I had put in it, and smiled as he pulled me into a big bear hug, I put my arms around him holding him tightly, as if he were about to leave me. When we finally let go of each other, I heard the smoothness of Wanda's voice fill the room. She used her calm voice often talking to me.
"How about I sing you that song momma and papa sang to us." I smiled at her words, and nodded my head. Pietro moved beside me now and held me in his arms, ready for Wanda to sing.
As Wanda's voice filled the air I felt my eyes grow heavy. I heard and felt the vibration of Pietro's voice as he hummed along to the song. Wanda's voice calmed my thoughts and fears, the words of the song, made me feel as if our momma and papa were with us, Pietro's hug around me made me feel safe, safe from all the evil in the world. After a few moments I fell into a deep sleep, and dreamt of happy times with my brother and sister, and my momma and papa. And for the first time in a long time, no nightmares interrupted my dream.
