Chapter 12: Back at Square One
I'm in a lot of pain and all I want to do is throw up. Everything hurts so much. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that before. I lazily turn my head away from Pietro's chest to see that we are only a block away from the orphanage.
"Wanda open the door."
"Okay."
Wanda opened the giant oak wood doors and we walked to the nurse's office. Pietro then sets me on a bed and stayed with me until Wanda came back with the nurse who was surprised to see us.
"What happened?"
"A guard in that hydra base hurt him can you help?" Pietro explained.
"Of course I can, hello Peter." Ms. Watson said.
"H-hello Ms. W-Watson." I stutter and stumble cause I'm so scared, nervous, cold and tired.
"Alright what do we have here?"
She examined me taking her time as doctors or nurses should and it turns out my left upper rib is cracked, well, my whole body is bruised. She begins to clean the dried blood.
From all of my wounds I had to get stitches from when the guard electrocuted me a lot, I'm surprised I don't have a concussion or something worse. The stitches hurt a lot, but I'm too tired to protest. Pietro and Wanda take notice of my discomfort and sit on each side of the bed, interlocking their fingers with mine.
We were sent up to our old room where the head of the orphanage came to see us. She has always been kind to us not just because our parents died but because she was genuinely nice.
"I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you Peter."
"It's okay Ms. I'm okay."
"You kids need to stay here once Pietro and Wanda turn eighteen then you can leave if you want."
"Once my sister and I come of age we are taking Peter to the states and living there."
"Well, you all need some rest you look like you are in dire need of it."
She left the room and I tried falling asleep, but when I did another nightmare occurred and I couldn't get out of it.
(Peter's nightmare POV)
It was dark and cold....so cold I tried yelling for Wanda and Pietro but it wasn't working. Then I walked towards two figures standing off in the distance. At first, I thought they were Wanda and Pietro but the outlines of the bodies were too tall and they looked much older.
As I got closer they turned to me and it was my mama and papa. "M-mama, P-papa?" I did not like where this was going.
"It is your fault we're dead. Why couldn't you save us, Bambi?" Mama asked.
I started crying my mama gave me the nickname: Bambi because whenever I was fascinated by something my eyes would be as big as a deer.
"You could've saved us, Peter." Papa said.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." But sorry didn't cut it. They remained there, looking at me with sickness and disgust in their eyes. It made every bad thing I was told feel so real.
Then they started to fade away I tried reaching out to them but soon they were gone. I woke up in full panic mode my heart was beating so fast and so hard like it was lodged in my throat, my face was dripping in sweat, and I couldn't breathe.
"W-Wanda, P-Pietro h-help p-please." I sobbed.
I couldn't see anything since it was dark and I'm scared of the dark but I love to look at the stars. I tried calling out to my siblings once more: W-Wanda, P-Pietro p-please h-help.
"We're right here Mysh what happened?" Wanda asked.
I stammered, "I-i, s-saw m-mama a-and p-papa th-they w-were bl-blaming m-me f-for t-their d-death...it....it w-was h-horrible."
"Bambi, it's okay mom and dad would never say that to you. They love you so much and they are so proud of you I just know it," Pietro whispered in my ear while cradling me in his arms.
"Mama called me Bambi I miss them so much."
"We know Mysh, we know."
"But you have us we'll always be together no matter what happens. Through thick and thin you'll have us." Wanda said.
"Do you want us to lay down with you?" Pietro asked.
I quickly nodded, head feeling a little dizzy from the sudden movement. "Y-Yes p-please I.... I don't w-want to be a-alone." No one did.
They laid down next to me and held me close as we all fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
