The Price Of Love

Chapter 17

BRITTANY'S POV

As tony said the security was doubled or tripled.

I now had three people guarding me and the same for Emma.

Steve was a wreck. He couldn't stop blaming himself for what happened.

But it's not his fault.

It's whoever took them. That's what were trying to get to the bottom of.

We were gathered on the main floor, devising a plan even tho we knew it was hopeless either way.

" so Steve take it away." Clint said, turning to Steve.

He was frozen in one spot, looking at the ground, his hands shaking violently.

We all exchanged a sympathetic look and Thor spoke." You really care for her do you not?"

Steve looked up . His face was pale and he looked as if he was going to faint. He nodded his head slightly and started shaking again.

" I-I could've saved her." He stuttered.

I gave him a half smile and walked over, rubbing his shoulder." It's not your fault." I said.

He put his head in his hands and groaned." But it is."

I almost spoke but was cut off.

" sorry to butt into your mourning fest here, but we need a plan." Tony snapped.

Emma lightly slapped his arm and gasped." Tony." She whispered harshly.

The group chuckled at their antics and just like that, the room was silenced as the tension rose once more.

" alright." Steve croaked out, standing up suddenly.

We all turned to him.

I felt someone come stand beside me and I turn to see fury standing next to me.

" hey." I whisper quietly, nudging him softy.

He smiles and nods to me." Hi." He whispered back, before turning back to Steve.

" so what we know so far is that whoever this imbecile thinks he is, he is kidnapping the girls. Why? To lure every single one of us there. It's a trap. But how else are they going to get out? My thoughts exactly. We just simply break in there. Make sure the girls are safe first and then if there's a battle, so be it. Right now well get some rest, tomorrow we begin." Steve said.

We all nodded at the plan and parted ways to go to bed.

Both Emma and I had one guard by our side.

Fury stood by me as we walked to my floor, quietly and awkwardly.

As we stood at my door, we both stopped and looked at each other.

" I suppose this is where I say goodnight." I laugh.

He grinned a half smile and nodded." I guess so. But you know I'll still have to be on guard."

I nodded and sighed." I just wish this would all be over."

He nodded in agreement and sighed as well, except louder.

" well goodnight." He said.

I smiled and nodded." Yes, goodnight." I say and stand on my tip toes, pecking him on the cheek softly.

A ghost of a smile makes its way onto his face as he looks down.

I smirk and walk into my room, and before I closed the door I winked at him and smiled." Goodnight."

He smiled and turned around to guard me.

My room was dark and with my memory I forgot where the light was.

I stumbled around my dark room trying desperately to find a light when my hands rested on something cold and sharp.

Oh no.

The lights flicked just for a moment to let me catch a glimpse of the hooded figure with a malicious smile before I was knocked on the back of my head and everything went dark.
