Chapter 9
We landed and Natasha gets into this fancy fast looking yellow car. I get in as well. "Let me guess, you didn't rent this." Bucky says while doing up his seat belt and she speeds off. "No I called ahead so we could get a good car.
Next thing I know is that we arrived at the city and remember that dream of red. It was all over the place. "Why is everybody wearing red?" I ask. "Today is the festival of the vampire lord here. They dress up in red because it is the colour of blood." She explains. Then she stares off into the distance. I bite my bottom lip and look out of the window. Oh god what if I don't make it on time? I shake my head. No, I can't think of that like Natasha had said. We are going to make it on time.
We enter the city and Natasha honks to get people out of the way. "They rejected him. They are not going to kill him." Natasha says. "Does that mean he is safe?" I ask. She shakes her head. "No he is going to reveal himself in the sun to show people that he is a vampire." She says. My heart nearly stops. "When?" I ask. "At noon." She says. "God Natasha that is in six minutes." I say nearly in panic.
The police who were blocking the road stops us. "Go Bucky. You are the only one." She says. I get out then turn. "Where?" I ask. "At the bell tower!" She calls and I close the door and sprint. Oh god these streets were confusing, it was almost like a maze. My heart is beating so fast and I turn and run into a alley where there is less people. Turns out it was a short cut. I stopped when I see all of the people. I can see the bell tower and see that the parade was going on. My brain kept on yelling at me don't stop. Keep running.
I run and squeeze through people. It was too loud so yelling to get out of my way would be useless. It was so close to noon and I was scared. Not for my life, but for Steve's. I quickly slide around people and stop at the fountian. The bell struck noon and a big bell starts to ring. People yell out in joy and I see the door open on the bell tower. I see Steve with his eyes shut tight and he takes his shirt off.
No, no, no stop him!
The fountian was huge and if I run around it will be too late. Fuck this, I jump and run across. Steve steps out and a little bit of the sun hits him. I run and I was so close. Just as the sun was fully on him I wrap my arms around him. "Steve, Steve move." I say desperately and try to push him back. I had to stay hugging him because if I pull away people would see his skin sparkling like diamonds.
I feel his arms slowly wrap around me and he puts his face into my neck. "Bucky." He whispers. He still thinks that I am dead. "Steve open your eyes. I am here, I'm not dead."I say gently. He opens his eyes slowly and he realizes what is going on and without pulling away he brings me closer and steps back into the building. The door closes and he looks at me. For me, I was on the verge of tears and I pried myself away fom him. He still doesn't love me.
"What were you thinking?" I ask. "Brock told me that your father was planning a funeral." Steve says sounding hurt. I step forward and I place my hands onto his cheeks. "Erik Selvig died from a heart attack. I am fully alive." I whisper and he places his hands onto my hips and he went to kiss me and I turn my head. He looked confused but as I step away and look down he remembers that day from the forest before he said that he was only playing with my heart.
"No Bucky I only said those things to protect you. I thought leaving you would be more safe. But instead you only got into more danger. I love you so, so much. I just almost killed myself because I thought you were dead and I couldn't live with that." He says. I look at him and a tear fell but I go up to him and kiss him. I put all of my feelings into it. The relief, the sadness, the hurt, the anger. He understood and he brings me close where there was no space between us.
We pulled apart and he puts his forehead onto mine. "Never to that to me again." I say and he nods. "Never." He says and kisses me again. He pulls away and he looks up to see another vampire? Coming towards us. He pulls me even closer and glares at the man that is getting too close to me for comfort. He stops at a fair distance. "Red Skull will like to talk to you." He says and yeah, that was a vampire. "Tell him I don't need to anymore." He says. "I don't care, so he doesn't care." He says and a woman comes in.
"That is Maria Hill." Steve whispers and I could see her red eyes. I look down. "Fury sent me to see what is taking you so long." She says. We follow her and I look around closer. We get into the eleator then step out. A woman at a desk stands up. "Hello." She says while smiling. "Is she human?" I ask when we pass her. "Yes." Steve answers. "Why- she wants to be a vampire." I say just before I could ask why she was working for them. "And she will." Says the man. "For dessert. Maria says.
And with that she opens the door. It was a good size room with three thrones at the end. I saw the one they call Red Skull and no wonder why they call him that. With the actual skull shape red and his skin was a angry red colour. We stopped and I looked closely at them. "Well remarkable. You wanted to die and now in your arms is a human. Are you in love with this Omega?" He asks. How did he know I was a Omga. "Vampires have a high sense of smell. You smell like vinalla." Red Skull says and I look at him more closely.
"Yes." Steve answers truthfully. "Let me see." He says and holds out his hand. "He can see your past by touching your hand." Steve says and Steve places his hand into his. After about a minute he steps back. "Very interesting. You are in love but yet you can't read his thoughs. Like he is immune, let's see if he is immune to my power." He says and holds out his hand towards me. I take a step foward and place my hand into his. "Hmmm I can't see anything. Let see if he is immune to Maria's." He says and Marua smirks.
"Don't you dare." Steve says. She stares into Steve's eyes and he falls to the ground in pain. I gasp and run to his side. "Stop it!" I yelled. "Maria." Fury says and she stops. "Now try it on the human." The man says. She stares at me but nothing happens. The Red Skull laughs. "Incredible. He is immune to our powers. Oh, how do you handle being near him. Even for me to be near this Omega is making me thirsty." He asks towards Steve. Steve only brings me closer to him.
"Well, I don't know if this is safe. If we can't put him into place how will we know that he won't spread our secret. I think we should get rid of the Omega." The man says and everything happens at once. Steve brings me so I was behind him and he pushes one of the vampires away. Natasha comes in. "No need for violence right now." She says. "Natasha Rogers, the one who cancsee the future." Red Skull says. "Now kill the human." He says. Natasha looked alarmed and fights but she was pinned.
Steve and the vampire fight and Steve was slamed hard to the ground. I saw cracks in his cheek like he was a porcelain doll. The vampire straightens and walks towards me. I step back but before the vampire could grab me Steve throws him across the room. How did it get to this? Just because I am immune to there powers? "Stop." I yell when the Red Skull was about rip Steve's head off. He stops and looks at me. I realize that we can't get out of this without one of us dead. I take a deep breath. "Kill me." I say.
Red Skull looked surprised while Steve thrashes. "Remarkable. I am impressed but I will gladly to it." He says and I squeeze my eyes shut. I held my breath bracing for the pain. It happened before and I know how much it fucking hurts. "Wait! I seen Bucky's future." Natasha says. I release my breath in relief and the Red Skull looks at her. "Let me see." He says. The vampire that was holding her lets go and she takes a step forwad and places her hand into his.
He smiles and lets go. "Fine but I need that Omega changed right away. Very soon." He says and she nods. "Alright." She says. They let Steve go and he runs to me. "Now get out of here." Red says and Steve wraps an arm around my shoulder and walks me out. As we walk out of the room the woman with a group of tourists walk by. I look back when I hear sreams but then I lean against Steve.
Steve is back and it turns out he still loves me so I felt relieved.
