So please, please, please review, it means the world to me even if it is just a word or two. I have decided to add a chapter about firestorm creation in the chapter after next so it makes a bit more sense. Please enjoy :)
Chapter 10: fear landscape part 4: holly.
"Calm down, relax holly." Clint said as I woke up, heart and head pounding. I tried to relax but for a few minutes I couldn't. I called out wand as name as soon as I could speak. I looked over to see her on the bed next to me. Gently I sat up, feeling weak as I leaned against the pillow. Clint looked tried and he yawned.
" You gave us a few scares kid, you dropped in heart rate three times." He said holding my hand. I chocked out an apology. I could feel the tears threatening to pour from my eyes. Clint left and as the door closed I could chock back the tears any more. Wanda walked carefully over and sat on my bed before pulling me into a hug.
I could feel the tears streaming from my eyes now and I couldn't control the shaking, in my voice or my body. Wanda whispered in my eye. I laid on her shoulder still shaken up from the experience.
"Well I learnt a lot about you today, I noticed you had clint as the person telling you that you were a monster, you know he wouldn't say that." Wanda told me. I replied with a nod and laid on my pillow. I began to gain control of my voice as I Spoke again.
"But Wanda I am, I am scared that you and the others will throw me out and tell me those things. I trust to easily and always get hurt." I spoke quickly. I wanted to have a normal life but also loved it here. I was also terrified that I will mess up and lose it all. I didn't want the others knowing but know they did and I thought I would lose there faith in me.
"Hey, we won't give up on you or tell you lies, that's what they are. If you mess up we will solve it together, your a part of this team now and always will be." I nodded again and whispered thanks. I was still worried how the other would take it if they found out, which they probably would at some point. I always feared failure and being alone more than anything, even now.
After another half an hour of talking things through, one by one and bit by bit, each fear at a time. I felt better after all of that. For the first time I decided to look around and saw all white walls. I gulped and began shaking again. I closed my eyes but that was worse. Wanda got up and opened up the cards I had and put then up. It helped and I even got a small smile.
We where stick in the room for two days with visits often from clint and the others. Most of the time Sam and clint would bring food and magazines and even our guitars. Clint came again and told me my family was waiting to see me. I smiled at the thought of seeing them all, I had missed them loads. Clint let them in and I went to hug my mum but she pushed me away and grabbed my sister behind her. I stayed down in shock as my sister struggled to get to me.
"Stay away from the freaks lottie, I just came her to say that my daughter is dead and I don't know you." She ran out slamming the door with a huge bang. I jumped when it happened. It took a while to sink in but In the end it did. Soon there was a small bang on the door. A little voice spoke out.
"Please it's Lottie, let me in sis, I ran away so I could say something." I got up and quickly let her in. Instantly she hugged me and told me that I wasn't a freak. I played with her hair like I used to before this mess, she was only 9 and had more care than my own mum. Suddenly I heard a shout and my mother came running through. Instantly Wanda ran over to my bed where me and my sister were sitting. My mum came and grabbed my screaming sister from my arms before hitting Wanda out the way and grabbing me. She was angrier than I had ever seen her before. I started calling for her to stop but all she did was scream. I called for Wanda and Clint. Suddenly my mother grabbed my throat and started to squeeze. I slowly felt breath leave me as Wanda sent the door into my mother and I fell to the floor in, barely staying conscious and holding my throat slightly, breathing heavily. Clint ran in soon after and told my sister to leave and that he would be there soon.
I was carefully healed onto my bed as I managed to get my breath back. Clint turned to my mum with fury raging in his eyes as wan dad sat next to me. My mother stood they fearlessly as Clint got up from my bed and began to speak.
"I tell you this, we let you here because we know the value of family, of parents. What do you do? You hurt two of our own people. You may not think of holly as a daughter but she is part of our group. An avenger whether you like it or not. Don't you dare touch them ever again. We're the avengers and avenging our own is what we do best. You are wrong about us, all of us. You are no longer allowed here, if you step foot in the building again we will stop you. Your other daughter is allowed here, she is nice, caring. She must take after her sister, not you. I am glad for it. Your the freak here, turning on your own daughter because she is different, so get out, now!" Clint shouted with anger in his eyes. I sat with my head on Wanda's shoulder, tears trying to fight their way through. Soon my mum left the room and Clint followed' leaving me and Wanda together in the room.
In a few minutes Clint returned and sat with us. He apologised despite my protests. For a few minutes we just talked before he left us to get some rest. I couldn't sleep in my bed alone so I soon ended up curled up with Wanda, my head on her shoulder and her head on top. Arms rapped around each other.. I finally drifted off into a unsettled sleep.
