Chapter 10: Choose

Here I was again sitting in a cold metal chair malnourished, and lack of sleep but, today is different. The superior officer said I would be doing something different.

And to be honest I'm terrified,  I'm shaking and I want to throw up. That's how terrified I am at this very moment.

"Sir where are we going?" I asked.

He snarled, "I would be quiet if I were you or your punishment will be a lot worse."

I shut my mouth just as I was told because I didn't want my punishment to get worse but, just being with Hydra is punishment alone.

We walked into a room where there were two pedestals each with a picture of Wanda & Pietro, then there was a button on a pedestal I was standing in front of.

"Sir what am I doing here?" I asked with fear embedded in my voice. I was scared, I thought I was going to be punished. But what did Wanda and Pietro have to do with all of this?

The Superior Officer explained his plan, "Silence! your siblings have been causing trouble and I need you to choose who gets punished."

I stammered, "B-but sir t-they...are my brother and sister...I...I don't want to hurt them." I couldn't choose between the two of them. I loved them to the sun and back, equally. So much. Choosing to punish one of them would be like killing them. I just can't/

All of a sudden I felt a hard slap spread across my face causing me to lose my balance and fall I look up and see the officer looking down at me like he wants to kill me.

"How dare you question a superior officer!"

"You should know better boy!"

I let tears silently slip down my face onto the concrete floor. I then stood up and went back to the pedestal.

"I...I can't...I won't choose between them...I love them." I said pulling my hand away from the button.

The officer snarled, "Your a disgrace!"

The officer started pulling me away and bringing me back to my where my siblings were and they finally gave me food and water, which I gladly took. "I need you Pietro, I need you Wanda please help."

Wanda's POV

I hope Peter is okay this is all our fault we shouldn't have been so trusting towards Hydra or Strucker.

Pietro and I heard footsteps and cries coming towards us. Cries of a young child who could only be one person: Peter. A guard followed behind them carrying in with a piece of stale bread and a small cup of water.

The Superior Officer shoved Peter in. "Mysh are you okay?" I asked. "No they made me choose between you...but...I...I couldn't."

"Oh peter it's okay you're with us and I promise I won't let them hurt you anymore." Pietro said holding his crying brother close to him.

"They won't lay a finger on you if we have anything to do with it." I said.

Pietro and I held Peter close and heard his soft cries become silent we looked down and saw that he fell asleep.

"I can't believe we trusted them Pietro we...we should've listened to Peter and stayed at the orphanage we keep causing him pain and I hate it." I said as my voice became hoarse.

"I know Wanda we made a terrible mistake but if and when we get out we are taking peter to the states where we can live a normal life without Hydra."

"Promise?" I asked.

"I promise." He replied.

We cuddled with peter and fell asleep ourselves.
