Amora moved stretched as she dragged her body down the bed to give both her arms and her legs a good stretch. She groaned as she sat up and looked to her left but didn't find Pietro in the bed with her. Instead, she smelled delicious food being cooked downstairs as her stomach started to grumble and complain about not having anything to eat. She peeked over the bed and immediately found Pietro's shirt and slipped it on before she went downstairs. All she had to do was follow her nose until it reached the kitchen where Pietro was shirtless in front of the stove.
She smiled, "Morning"
"Morning, honey" Pietro turned and wrapped his arms around her waist, "How did you sleep last night?"
"Great" Amora tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
Pietro winked, "I thought you did, breakfast is almost done"
Amora looked over to the food, "I didn't know you could cook"
"Well, I had to survive somehow while I was taking a year incognito, plus I didn't find stealing food appealing anymore"
"Wow, you actually learned your lesson from being a little thief" Amora mocked.
"I might've turned a leaf over here and there" Pietro smiled, "I'm guessing it was for the better anyways"
"Smells delicious"
He placed a plate down in front of her before he sat down at well, Amora glanced down and saw a quesadilla with bacon. She noticed that he placed potatoes and spices inside the food as well, making her even more hungry. Amora immediately took a big bite into the food and almost couldn't take how good it was. She let out a moan and turned to Pietro who seemed pleased with her eat his food.
She had to admit that she was really surprised at how delicious it was. Her attention turned to Pietro as he dug into his food as well. Amora took a cup of orange juice and started to drink before she went back to her food and gladly dug in.
"We should go somewhere?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, get out of the town or sight see, do something or whatever it is that you want to do" Pietro explained.
Amora looked over to him as if he was trying to play with her, "Seriously?"
To show how serious he was, Pietro was gone with yet another flash as he ran around her, cleaning up his mess, his plate until he finally stopped. She glanced up and noticed that he was already completely ready with his shoes on and everything.
Amora couldn't help but giggle and shake her head at him.
So to spite him, she leaned back and took a rather slow bite over her breakfast while nonchalantly looking at her nails. She was dying to explore the United Kingdom but wanted to make Pietro feel the pain of having to wait for her this time around. Pietro let out an annoyed sigh as he plopped himself down in front of her. His annoyance was clear on his face as she smiled before slowly getting up and kissing him on the bridge of his nose before cleaning up. Amora then turned around and started to walk back upstairs to get on some clothes for their day together.
"Can you please hurry up?" Pietro called out.
Amora said over her shoulder, "I will go as fast as I can"
"Over my dead body" Amora could hear him say.
"I don't like that term" Amora scolded him, "Especially from you"
"Alright, I'm sorry" Pietro could be heard as he walked around the stage, "Make sure you wear comfortable shoes"
"Of course! That's all I own here" Amora called out, "So where are we going?"
"Not too sure" Pietro said, "That's the fun about it, we'll just pick a destination and then go! The perks of having superspeed on your side"
"Even if we want to go to Greece or Spain?" Amora teased.
"Anywhere!" Pietro yelled out as it echoed across the room, making Amora laugh.
"Then give me a second" Amora giggled.
She just barely slipped on her outfit and turned to look in the mirror when she noticed a man behind her. Amora quickly turned but was too late as the man sent her flying into the mirror, crashing into it as she fell to the floor. She glanced up and noticed the man was coming over to her with a greyish-brown energy levitating from his hands. Amora waved out her hand as her sword crashed out of the closet and came to her just in time for her to deflect the energy and run over to the man and stab him with her sword.
She wrenched the sword out of him and quickly turned to the balcony and looked over the railing to warn Pietro. He was down on the stage fighting his own battles in a fury of silver against so many men that she didn't even know how they all came in. Amora let out a battlecry and jumped down into the chaos and swung her sword around at the intruders.
It was then that she realized that all of them were the same person as the knowledge seeped into her of what to do. She had to find the one person with this gift and kill him in order for the others to stop growing.
Amora turned around as Pietro was immediately in front of her.
"We can't defeat them" Pietro said as he pushed one back.
"We have to find the person with the actual power then they will disappear" Amora responded.
"I can try to make a run for it with you" Pietro told her.
"No! They'll keep coming!" Amora kicked another down and sliced him.
One of the men said, "You can't keep hiding her forever, Pietro"
"He already knows where she is… and we're taking her to him"
Pietro's face changed as he let out, "No"
"What is he talking about?" Amora turned to Pietro, "Pietro, what's going on?"
He turned to her, "We have to get-"
Pietro let out a yell as he grabbed onto his head and knelt down. Amora forgot about the multiple men and knelt down in front of Pietro. He hissed in pain as he tried to fight the urge to leave until he's eyes shot open and he looked to Amora. She leaned in, wanting to ask what was wrong but Pietro roughly pushed her away and backed away from her as well. His behavior was not like himself as she walked over to the confused man.
Suddenly, Amora was picked up and ran off with as she barely registered that Pietro had picked her up. He stopped just as quickly as he started that Amora fell to the ground and did a little roll as she felt suddenly cold. She shivered as she glanced up and noticed a pair of boots in front of her.
Amora looked up to the face as she gasped and moved back, she had immediately recognized who this person was and now terror overwhelmed her.
