CHAPTER ZERO— I'LL TELL YOU A STORY

         Hope wasn't necessarily afraid of drowning. She knew she would come back to life, which was the exact reason that she was scared of drowning. She would come back to life as a vampire too.

But at that very moment, her biggest concern was to get Steve out of the water. He wouldn't be able to survive much longer, super-soldier or not.

To get him out, because her body wasn't moving anywhere but down to the bottom of the lake, she would have to use a spell that she had to say out loud. She would have to risk her life in order to do so.

Hope didn't hesitate in making the choice, muttering a quick spell as best as she could underwater, and peeled her eyes open to watch as Steve magically floated out of the water as water started to fill up her lungs and suffocate her.

As she submerged further down, Hope started to lose consciousness. She didn't want to be a vampire, not yet, but it looked like it was time.

Right as she fell unconscious, a metal arm wrapped around her own.

But maybe we should start from the beginning...
