A Million Reasons - Under Editing

Chapter Nine

Clair is hooked up to all sorts of machines and what not. Before I can actually go up to her I hop back into the vents and go back to my room. I can hear James outside the door.

I go and open it, pulling him into a hug. He seems surprised for a moment but eventually gives in and hugs me back. "What's the matter?"

"It's Clair...."

He nods. "Yeah. I saw her. She looks to be in terrible shape." I start to hyperventilate and push him away. He frowns and starts to protest but I stop him. He doesn't need to know what's going through my head. I see Stark head our way and I start to freak out.

Shits about to go down.

"Hey Romanoff," he calls out to me and I back into my room whilst James stares at me and tries to follow. I hear Stark pick up his pace.

"No Stark! Not now please!" I slam the door shut and then hear James and Tony conferring. One of them walks away and the other starts to slowly open my door. I hear metal on wood and the door slowly opens. James makes his way into my room and pulls me onto the bed with him.

"Hey. It's okay." He tries to calm me down, although I don't think it's working. "Stark wanted me to tell you that they might have found the caller I.D, Кукла."

I visibly relax as he pulls me close and gently rubs my shoulders. "Okay."

"Maybe you should sleep." I probably should. My voice was slurring with fatigue.

"Okay," I whisper and shut my eyes. I heard him murmur sweet nothings into my him as I fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~

I wake and instantly feel odd. The room is cold and made of concrete. A huge black Stallion is standing near me. He rears high and comes down inches from my head. I bite back a scream and look around for James.

It starts to pour but it's not pouring rain. It's pouring sleet. The Stallion neighs and rears up almost hitting my face, as I move away quickly. "James!?" I cry out as loud as I can. My shirt is sticking to me and it's very uncomfortable. The Stallion switches to a wolf and the wolf changes color to white. The sleet changes to a snowstorm and the wolf howls loudly, disappearing into the snow.

"James!" I shrink against my greater judgement as he wolf leaps for me....

~~~~~~~~~

I sit straight up in my bed, right next to James who must have been trying to wake me, the dream fresh in my mind. "Are you okay? You were screaming my name."

I shake my head. "Nightmare."

"Want to talk about it?"

I lean my head on his chest and he lays us back down. "No."

"Okay. Want to try and sleep again?"

"No."

"Well dinner is in an hour anyways. We could do something productive?"

"I just want to cuddle."

"Alright dollface." He responds and pulls me closer. He kisses the top of my head and I shut my eyes slightly. The truth is; I'm shaken but I'm also super tired. James's doesn't seem to mind, as he is warming me up and murmuring into my ear once more. "I love you."
