Love you?

Nightmare Chapter 121

I scream. 

" Use your powers!!! Use them now you useless child!! Now!! Be good for something. USE YOUR POWERS!! "  A woman screeches. " NOW!! " She turns to Luvana. " Your child is useless! Where are the powers you promised! You promised me powers!! You swore on your word! I paid good money for this. I did not come to be disappointed, Luvana. I want my money back! She is worthless! " 

" Aura, " Luvana turns to me in an angry manner. She slaps me and grabs my jaw, pulling me to her. " Remember what I said. Remember. " 

Remember. 

Remember. 

Remember. 

" Aura! Aura! Aura! Aura! " I shake and shiver, crying as someone yells my name. I pull away from the hands that grab my wrists, afraid someone will hurt me again. " Aura!! " 

" No! No! NO! " I shake and cry. " No no. "

" Aura. Please wake up darling. Please. " I shoot up, look around wildly, expecting Luvana's maid to be the one waking me up. 

" No I don't, I don't want to use them. No. " I shake my head quickly. 

" Hey! Hey. Aura. It's me. It's your father. Calm down, darling. Calm down. " Dad says softly as he grabs my arms gently. 

" I don't want to use them. I can't. I can't. " I shake my head. 

" You can't what, sweetheart? " Dad asks softly as he hugs me tightly. 

" I can't use them anymore. It hurts. It hurts really really bad. " I cry softly. 

" Use what, Aura? " Dad asks patiently. 

" My powers. It hurts. My body hurts, when I use them. And then the after affects are worse. I can't dad, don't make me. Please don't make me. " 

" Shh. Shh. No one is going to make you do anything you do not want to. Calm down sweetheart. It is okay. It is okay. Calm down. Shh. Shh. " I lean into my dad and sniffle after crying for a few minutes longer. I lay my head against his chest and listen to his heart beat, trying to calm myself. 

" I don't want to go back, dad. I don't. I can't. She'll use me again. She'll hurt me. I can't be hurt. Not anymore. I don't know how much longer I can last before I...before I run out. I don't want to run out. Then I can't be here, I can't be with you or anyone else. I need to be here. You guys need me, or so I think. I need you, and, and I can't live without you guys. What if she takes me back? What if I escape again but next time Uncle Thor's not there to help me? To bring me back? What will I do? What can I do? I'd be stuck on Asgard forever without you guys. I can't live like that. I can't live without you guys. I need you guys. I don't want to go back. I can't go back. " I ramble on and on and I end up getting myself worked up again. 

" Shh. Calm down Aura. You are never going back to her. Never. You do not have to use your powers if you do not want to. Let's go back to sleep. " Dad kisses my forehead. " You need rest. " He strokes my hair, knowing it calms me down. 

I nod and lean back into my pillows.

" Are you okay? Do you want me to get you some water? " Dad stands up and turns to the door as he talks. 

" NO! " I yell, startling the both of us. " Please...please don't...don't leave, daddy. Don't leave. I'm scared. " I clutch onto his arm. 

He nods and sits back down onto my bed. I lay my head on his shoulder and sniffle again. I close my eyes and smell the familiar scent of my dad. His faint smell of cologne lingers around him, mixed in with his shampoo's fragrance and a vanilla from Natasha's scented candles. She leaves those all around the tower. Frankly, I think lavender smells way better. 

Dad hums softly, making me grow more tired by the second. He's humming a tune to a song he used to sing me when I was little. I close my eyes again, and fall asleep, feeling very safe for the first time in weeks.
