CHAPTER EIGHT; INFINITY WAR
❝ When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been. But she had wings ❞

❝ Wakanda forest ❞
THE BRIGHT YELLOW GOLDEN explosion sent Wanda flying through the air. The ground nipped at her creating instant wounds as she slowed to a stop. Dirt cascaded back down from the ground covering Wanda in a layer of it. She squinted trying to readjust her vision feeling water under her hands. Wanda pulled up her hands as her vision cleared; it was not water. Her hands were soaked in blood, "No," she pleaded with the Gods, Wanda allowed herself to painfully slowly look up.
The second she had she wished she hadn't, before her was the limp hand that had been reaching out for someone. Anyone, really. Her beautiful blue eyes had shut almost immediately after Thanos dropped her to the floor. There was no life behind her eyes that had been left open.
Wanda stilled waiting for the girl to move, do something but she never did. Her eyes were still waiting for anything when she ignored the approaching footsteps of Thanos. "I understand my child, better than anyone. She was powerful, a waste of potential," he said as if the lives he was about to take and had already taken had meant nothing to his cruel heart.
His words made Wanda's already erratic breath worsen. Her sharpened gaze slowly shifted up to him, her hand gripped at the dirt underneath it. "You could never. Alina is more than her power," she said her jaw tightening with each word spoken.
Thanos seemed to be hurtfully amused by her words as he chuckled to himself. Bent sideways he placed his giant purple hand on Wanda's head caressing it as he said, "Today I have lost more than you can know." The titan pulled away from her his eyes landing on Visions corpse, "But now is no time to mourn. No time at all." He stared at the Vision precise and selective about using the time stone only on him.
Wanda had crawled to Alina tearing the blade from her chest cradling her body in her arms. She'll wake up, she's going to wake up, Wanda told herself her eyes looking up towards the sky. As her eyes traveled back down, she finally saw Thanos putting back the final pieces of Vision. She watched helplessly as he was taken off guard and gripped up by his throat. For the first time Wanda abandoned Alina's body racing to him shouting, "NO!"
