-Lilith's Point of View-

I lay on the soft mattress of the four poster bed I was meant to be sleeping in. I don't know how long I've been awake for, but it felt likes hours, no matter how hard I try I can't fall asleep. Even the faintest noise like guard footsteps in the hallway kept me awake.

It's especially hard to fall asleep while missing Loki. He and Thor had royal duties to attend to and they still weren't finished, meaning I had to stay in my own bed tonight. It was lonely. Loki wasn't here to just talk to me or for us to read. I couldn't even tease him. The others must already be fast asleep in their own rooms, and I don't want to risk a knife to the shoulder by trying to wake Nat or Bucky up...

I throw the velvety blanket off me and get out of my bed in the black silky nightdress Ace had designed for me. I walk over to the large, dark, wooden vanity which sat against the wall which had a small candle sitting on it illuminating the gold handles and frame of the mirror. Beside the hairbrush and makeup, I pick up the flower Loki had placed in my hair a few days ago. Holding it in the palm of my hand I look at the illuminated petals which glimmered in the light.

Touching the petals with my finger, I felt my heart swell and butterflies fill my stomach. I couldn't help but smile as I relived all the memories Loki and I had made together. It was strange courting him after calling him my best friend for what had been maybe five months or longer.

(I'm so sorry if this time frame is confusing but just go with it ;-;)  

We have been through so much, it felt like I've known him for years. The press conference, the missions, the late night talks, the carnival, the school trip... it all seemed to go by so fast like a dream.

"God if this is a dream, I hope I never wake up" I whisper to myself. I couldn't help but feel so in love with Loki and happy.

However I snap out of this daydream when I get a good look at the flower in the palm of my hand. The petals had wilted and gone almost black. I stare in horror at the once beautiful thing that had died in my hands within seconds.

"What..." I breath out looking at the flower.

Did I do this? How did this happen? One minute I'm feeling so incredibly happy and now this. I feel a single tear run down my cheek. I did this, I killed it. I stare at the plant still in disbelief. I'm l a monster who kills everything I touched...

Placing the flower back on the vanity and crawling into bed, hugging one of the pillows tight, I close my eyes tight hoping for it all to go away. Why did I have to bring destruction everywhere I went? Sure this was just a flower, but I had killed it by just feeling, just by having emotions like a normal human being. But I'm not a normal human being, I've been cursed with these fucking powers! Why can't I just be normal? Why did I have to go through so much pain and only have a few moments of happiness that would disappear within seconds...

"I'm a monster..." I choke out clutching onto the plush pillow that stained with a few of my tears.
