Goodbye
The plan was solid, well thought out, and everyone was dedicated. Even Thor. He had come to terms with the fact that his sister was beyond hope. As much as he wished he could save her, he understood he couldn't. Loki on the other hand, didn't seem to show any emotion towards Hela whatsoever. It was almost as if he didn't care. But Arya knew, after getting to know him a bit better, he did care in his own way.
Tony, Erin, and Jane sat in the van just outside the abandoned house Hela and Wanda were hiding in. He had a feeling they already knew they were there. So they were on edge. Thor and Loki entered the house and quietly made their way around, with Brunhild on stand by searching for Wanda. Natasha and Arya stood at the front door waiting for their signal.
"Now!" Jane shouted from the van's window to Arya and Natasha.
Natasha winked at Arya before kicking the door down. They walked into the house half expecting to see Hela waiting for them. But she wasn't.
"Hey! Demon spawn! Come out and play!" Natasha yelled and Arya balled her fists, ready for a fight.
"Leave while you still have heads attached to your shoulders!" Hela's voice sounded from the loft of the giant home. Arya looked up to her and barred her teeth. Her fangs showing bright and sharp.
"Come down and face me!" Arya screamed. Hela laughed, she always laughed. This drove Arya crazy. "What did I tell you about laughing!?" Arya screamed then raced toward her.
All three vampires fought on the lower level of the home. Their movements swift but their punches rock hard.
"Just give it up already!" Hela said throwing Natasha to the ground. Natasha stood and punched her in the jaw. Her head snapped back as the punch hit.
Arya pushed Natasha out of the way and yanked Hela to the ground. She placed her knee on her throat and looked at her with a dead stare.
"You took everything from me." Arya said and for a moment, a brief moment, Arya thought she saw hurt in her eyes.
"You think your better than me!? Your sister ended the life of a man who was worth more to me than my entire existence. I would have died for him!" Hela said.
"You will." Arya said and Natasha placed a hand on Arya's shoulder. She looked up to her.
"They found Wanda." Natasha said and Hela broke loose and ran to the door but she fell back as soon as she touched the wood paneling.
"Brunhild! You super witch!" Natasha said with joy in her voice.
"You're stuck in here with us." Arya said folding her arms over her chest, smiling at her.
The three vampires stood staring at each other as they heard the commotion upstairs. Hela had a look of worry on her face. Arya could tell she wanted to go to Wanda. But she was trapped. There was no running now. The commotion continued. A crack of lightening blasted through the room and Wanda's scream was loud. Arya looked to Natasha. As much as she despised Wanda for almost killing her, she couldn't shake the regret she felt for her. Her coworker that she honestly wasn't too fond of, but felt for. She was kind and always had a smile on her face. No red flags ever showed themselves when they were around one another. So when she attacked Arya in her own front yard, she was shocked. Another crack blasted through the ceiling and Wanda's screams stopped. Brunhild ran halfway down the stairs.
"She's down!" She yelled.
"You think knocking out my witch will stop me!? You have lost your minds!" Hela said then lunged for Arya.
Hela dragged Arya across the room and threw her against the wall. Her body cracked against the wall as she then slid to the floor. She groaned as she touched her hand to the back of her head. When she looked at her hand it was covered in blood. Although she knew she would heal quickly, that didn't mean the pain was any less. Hela stalked over to her and looked down at Arya.
"Say goodbye." She said and Arya tried to stand but her body was throne back against the wall again.
Hela pulled a small stake out of her inside jacket pocket. She pressed the stake right at Arya's heart and laughed maniacally. Arya thrashed against her hold. Natasha ran over and yanked Hela's arm back. But Hela was much older, and stronger. Hela dropped Arya for a moment and kicked Natasha down to the ground before rushing back to Arya who had just regained her balance. She ripped Arya's shirt and held her by her throat.
"Where were we?" Hela said then pushed the tip of the stake into Arya's skin.
She screamed at the burning sensation of wood on vampire flesh. She felt her skin begin to run cold. And then everything was black.
