Hope you enjoy, sorry it took so long to upload.
Ever was confused.
She knew her power was great. She knew she could use it greatly to her advantage. But she was plagued by people voices and desires she didn't need. It confused her. What was she supposed to do with them? She did not want to fulfil them, unless they were her father's or Gamora's, but she could not help at all.
She was a villain. Raised to be bad and she could do no bad with this gift.
Unless…. if you made them go away by consuming them. If you made it bad. If you made it be feared.
Ever knew exactly what she was to do. She sat on her small bed, closing her eyes and breathed deeply. She reached her mind out to the underground facility, hearing many heartbeats throughout the place.
She focused on a particularly weak one and listened hard. Her mind strained and she focused more.
I want to see her before I die.
Perfect. Ever didn't know who the person wanted to see, but it was definitely going to be someone. She got up and grabbed the scythe lying next to her. Ever knew no one would interfere with her, most of them were too afraid to touch Thanos' prized daughter.
She walked with purpose and a small smirk upon her pale face. Ever was happy.
As she neared the now louder heartbeat, her smile brightened. She would prove herself. She was stronger. She was worthy.
Ever opened the door softly.
She stepped inside.
She held her scythe up.
She walked into the room, not needing a light to see where she was going.
She heard shaky breathing and the even shakier heartbeat that proceeded it.
She was standing in front of the person. They didn't know she was there.
"Hello."
The person started and their heartbeat paused for a fraction of a second. "Who's there?"
Ever didn't respond.
"Is it you? Am I going to be freed?"
Ever smiled. "Freedom has come."
She could feel the man's happiness. But he was also apprehensive. His desire for freedom overpowered those though.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get me out of here. Turn on the lights."
Ever inched closer to him, until she was at least an inch or two away from the man. He knew she was that close, and his apprehension built.
"Freedom has come." She repeated in a whisper.
She slid her scythe up and, before he knew what she was doing, sliced into his heart.
He gasped, choking on his breath, until there was nothing else. Ever pulled the scythe back out and smelled the blood on her scythe. Metallic. She licked a bit off. Better than it smelled.
She carefully sliced a deep incision over the heart, parting muscle and bone. Then she reached in and yanked his heart out.
By then, she was covered in blood. Her face, her hands, her shirt.
She held the thing in her hands. There was still some blood flowing through it, quickly leaking onto her hands. It was warm.
Ever stood, the heart clutched in one hand, her weapon in the other.
She marched down the hall, people scattering away from her. Her path was clear.
As she came out into the open, Thanos came into sight. He was talking to several people, but stopped when he saw her.
"What do you have for me daughter?" His face showed no emotion. The people turned to look at her, looks of horror and disgust coming onto their faces after they took her in completely.
Ever marched up to Thanos and held the heart out to him. He took it, looking it over.
"If this is about what I think it is, your time will come. Do not rush things. I know what you can do. Do not judge things on your ability to kill. You need other preparations too."
Ever's face stayed blank, but anger showed through her eyes. "You are dismissed."
Ever nodded and the walked away. She was happier of what this had brought, thought Gamora had tried to tell her that.
Her time would come soon.
Kinda short, but I hope you liked! I'll try and update as soon as possible
