My Promise

Wanda walked around the empty room. She looked out the giant window, it showed the small New York But there were things down there. She tried to look at them when a dragon-like creature flew up in her face, shattering the glass. She watched as it threw a human up and swallowing, hearing the scream of the person as they went down. She looked out, the city was covered in flames, distant hollers from unknown monsters in the background, the smell of rotting flesh, blood, and fire of different chemicals burning.

She was horrified. She turned and saw the Avengers, fighting each other, killing each other, over and over. Tearing them apart, limb by limb, ripping their flesh off with their own teeth. She tried to yell at them to stop but her voice was silent. She tried to use her magic but nothing come out.

"My little witch." She turned and saw the man. "You know who I am."

She nodded.

"I let you speak but I want something in exchange." She gave him a look. "Would you like to know?"

She shook her head no and got closer to the edge of the window to stay away from his advances. He reached out a hand to her.

"I want your heart. Your heart is what I need to live, to breath. To be human. To open the gates. Please give it to me, I need more than you." He pleaded as he reached to her chest. "Give it to me, I need it to live."

She looked behind her and back at him. His eyes were a shining a bright neon green and the veins around his eyes were black, black liquid was dripping out of his mouth. His fingers turned to claws.

"Wanda please." His voice came out scratchy.

She tripped over her feet and fell. She felt the wind rushing around her as she plummeted to the ground. She watched as the man followed her, screaming her name in an unholy sound. Before she hit the floor she sat up.

She was breathing hard and was in a cold sweat. Her hand went to her chest and felt liquid, she checked it and saw blood on her fingertips and she started to panic She was about to get up and tell someone when her bed was moved to block her door. She screamed loudly as it moved with her on it. When it slammed into the wall, she was slammed against the door. Before she could process what was going on, the bed started to slam into the wall repeatedly. She got the door open by kicking it open and jumped out. She watched as the bed tried to get out too by slamming into the door, over and over again. Her stuff in her room was being thrown around. A man's voice was heard screaming in anger.

Clint quickly made his way out of his room and to Wanda's. He and Natasha lived on the same floor as her, so they were the first to get to her. Clint watched as her objects were trying to get to her. She ran into his arms and started to cry harder, she buried her face in his chest.

They watched as a man crawl on his belly towards them but disappeared after it was fully out, screaming at Wanda and clawing at them. All the things that were being thrown, moved, or was just flying stopped and landed to the floor. Wanda cried as everyone came to see what was going on.

They checked it out. After Steve pushed the bed out of the way. In big black liquid that was coming out of the man's mouth, wrote out 'Your heart will be mine' in big bold letters. They looked back at Wanda who was shaken up. Natasha tried to calm her down as she rubbed her back.

"What happened?" Tony asked.

"I was asleep, then I was woken up from a nightmare. In the dream, a man was begging me for my heart and saying that he needed it to be alive and to open a gate. But when I woke up, I was thrown around on my bed. I was able to get out but everything was being trashed." She said.
