Never leave you

"Run!...Run!!...Run!!..., you have to run" said Natasha to herself as she ran and she panted as she ran, someone in a black cloak was chasing after her and she did not know who, and it made her even more scared, she heaved as she ran through the forest, the night was dark, and the forest was even more dark, she could not see where she was going, and she hit her side on the bark of a mighty tree.

She hissed in pain, but she could not stop running, she could not, less the person chasing her caught up to her, she breathed through the pain and she still continued to run, she heaved as she did so, this was the worst night of her life.

As she thought that she had finally got away, a heart shattering sound filled her ears as she realized that she could no longer move, she could not move at all, her body fell to the ground as she groaned as she tried to move her body but she just could not, she had been shot!

Natasha's heart pounded as she heard the footsteps of the person chasing her becoming louder and louder, and her heart sunk deeper and deeper with every step she could hear.

And in the moment the footsteps stopped, the person in black pulled out a gun, and they placed their hand on the trigger.

"Bam!!" came the sharp sound of the gunshot as Natasha felt the bullet lodge in her back.

"No… No… Nooo … not again" said Natasha as she cried.

"No… No… No!!" heaved Natasha as her eyes shot wide open as she got out of her bed heaving.

"No…" said Natasha as she looked terrified, she looked around, only to see herself back in her bed room, she looked at her yellow curtains and she looked back down at her bed as she was sitting up on it as she rested her back on the headboard of her bed as she heaved in utter fear.

"It…it was just a dream??" asked Natasha to herself as she was trying to reassure herself that she was alright, and it was just a dream, a terrible nightmare at that.

"I… I am alright??" said Natasha to herself as she sighed and she ran her hand through her hair, she was drenched in sweat from head to toe.

Natasha put her right hand on her chest as she tried to calm down her racing heart, she had just suffered a terrible dream, maybe it was because of the scare she had had this morning, she had not had any nightmares in a while, and yet now they were back.

Natasha turned to look at the side of her bed, and she looked at her electric alarm clock as she saw that it said the time was 10:45pm, she had not even been asleep for more than an hour and yet she had gotten a nightmare.

"*Sigh*, calm down Natasha, you are alright, okay, you are alright, everything is alright" said Natasha as she sighed and she tried to calm herself down, she was not sure that she was going to be able to go back to sleep at all, she just could not, she was just so scared.. so, scared of reliving that terrible situation again.

Natasha sighed, she was still sweating profusely, she got out of bed and she decided to walk downstairs to the kitchen to get herself a cup of water, luckily for her, everyone had already been sleeping at this time, so there was no one to question her.

She walked downstairs, and she walked straight into the kitchen as she took a glass cup from the cupboard and she walked to the fridge, she needed some cold water, and she took some from the fridge's water dispenser.

Natasha sighed as she drank the water, she thought that it would at least make her feel better, but it did not at all, her heart was still beating very fast.

She walked to the kitchen sink and she washed the glass and she dried it with a cloth and she put it back in the cupboard as she walked out of the kitchen and back up the stairs.

She was about to enter back into her room, until she hesitated, she did not want to be alone anymore, she was scared, scared of everything, as much as she wanted to be bold and courageous she just could not, there was just a time in someone's life where nothing else matters anymore, she did not care about money, she did not care about love, or fame, all she wanted to do was to leave in peace, was that too much to ask???

Natasha sighed, she closed the door of her room, and she walked away, she walked to Joy's room, and she opened the door as she walked into Joy's room quietly and she smiled as she saw the peaceful, sleeping face of her baby, it was warmed her heart, and it put her heart at ease.

"Oh my baby, I love you" said Natasha as she bent down and she planted a kiss on Joy's forehead.

"I always have and always will, and I will never leave you, I will make sure to fight… for you, my precious baby, my princess" said Natasha as she smiled and she removed some strands of hair from Joy's face.

Natasha smiled as she climbed into Joy's bed and she hugged her tightly, and Joy did not wake up at all.

"Goodnight my baby, goodnight" said Natasha as she smiled and she closed her eyes as she slowly drifted into slumber.

…

"I am so sorry for being late guys, something came up" said Dom as he sighed as he sat down across Nine, Michael and Charlie.

"That is alright Dom, we understand" said Michael as he got Dom a glass of grape juice.

"Thank you" said Dom as he took the glass of grape juice as Michael sat down beside Charlie.

"So what is so important that you need to talk to be about??" asked Dom as he drank the juice.

"You all look so grim?? Did something happen?" asked Dom as he could not understand why they all looked so serious, and why they had called him here.

"Dom, did you know that Natasha can use a gun?" asked Michael seriously.

"What??" asked Dom as he was surprised.

"What do you mean use a gun?" asked Dom as he could not understand what they were saying.

"She had started to learn how to use a gun, and she even already has a firearms license" said Charlie.

"Wait?? So does she have a gun in the house??" asked Dom.

"No… she does not have a gun yet" said Nine.

"Alright wait, what does this have to do with anything?? And also how do you guys know this??" asked Dom.

Michael turned to look at Charlie and Charlie looked at him and then back at Nine.

"*Sigh*, Well this morning we followed her as she dropped off Joy at school" said Charlie as he sighed.

"Alright, I get that" said Dom as he nodded his head and he listened to what they were telling him.

"After Natasha dropped off Joy at school, we were driving back home, seeing as the shortcut to Joy's school was closed for repairs" said Michael and Dom nodded his head.

"After a while of driving we realized that we were being followed by a strange black car, and soon enough the car began to hit us behind, and Natasha accelerated" said Michael.

"The car was following us" said Nine.

"Wait, I know you guys cannot be joking" said Dom as he was trying to understand all this.

"*Sigh*, In an attempt to get rid of the guys chasing us Natasha turned deep into the forest, and we ended up crashing into a tree, with left Natasha's car damaged" said Michael as he sighed and Dom nodded his head.

"The guys came out of their own car with guns and they chased after us, we ended up in the middle of the forest and we his behind a boulder" said Michael.

"And it was then when the guys chasing us told us that they were only here for Natasha, and that if we gave her to them, they would leave us alone" said Charlie.

"And what did you do??" asked Dom as this felt so unreal to him, if not that his best friends were the ones telling him this, he would not have believed it at all.

"Well Natasha immediately asked one of us to give her a gun" said Michael.

"No… and what did you say?" asked Dom.

"Well I refused at first, but she kept on insisting, and I had no other choice than to give her my gun" said Michael as he sighed.

"*Sigh*, I cannot believe this" said Dom as he sighed and he face-palmed himself.

"And what did she do with the gun?" asked Dom as he turned back to look at them.

"Dom… she shot all four men, down to the ground, with no hesitation at all" said Charlie with a very serious look on her face.

"No… that is impossible, since when can Natasha hold a gun, and much more less shoot down four men??" asked Dom as this was impossible to me.

"The same question all running through our minds at that time, but we were not prepared at all for what happened next" said Michael seriously.

"What happened next??" asked Dom as to him this story of their kept on getting worse and worse.

"Natasha tortured the leader of the men" said Nine seriously.

"Haha, no you must be joking, this is a joke" said Dom as he laughed this is impossible, but he stopped laughing as soon as he saw the dead serious look on Michael and Charlie's faces.

"We are not joking Dom" said Charlie as he shook his head.

"She asked me to give her handbag to her, which I did, and she brought out white gloves which she wore" said Michael.

"And Natasha began to torture the leader, she stepped on his hand with her shoe after she had shot him in the leg and shoulder" said Michael.

"Natasha did not care for the man's piercing screams as he refused to say who sent him" said Michael as he could still remember that chilling moment when he realized that Natasha was no longer Natasha.

"The man could no longer bear Natasha's torture as he took his gun and shot himself" said Charlie and Dom's eyes went wide, wait, Natasha had caused a man to kill himself??

"After that happened, Natasha proceeded to call the man a coward as she rummaged through his pockets and she found his phone" said Michael.

"She dialed a number on his phone and a man picked up and asked in the job he had sent them was done, and Natasha asked who he was, and the man ended the call" said Michael.

"After that Natasha told us that after the man shot himself she had done nothing, and then she called the police and her friend commander Peter came to the scene of the crime, and he asked us to come to the station and take out statements, which we did, and then Natasha drove us back home in his car because her car was destroyed and taken to the mechanic" said Michael.

"I am in shock, because I do not know what to say" said Dom as this all felt like a silly, twisted story, the Natasha he knew would never hurt a fly, and not even to think of torturing a man.

"Look Dom, we are telling you all this because we are worried for Natasha" said Charlie as he sighed.

"We now understand why you were so worried about her" said Charlie as he sighed deeply.

"The woman we were with in the morning was not Natasha, no that was a monster" said Michael and Dom was speechless, this was all just too much information he was bombarded with this evening.

But one thing was for sure, he was extremely worried about Natasha now.
