❝ I don't like the fire. ❞ a mumble , anxious vocal & discomfiting motion ; warily shifting sight towards sibling. glowing embers, warmth of dancing orange sparks & golden light ; an inner plea ––––––– a scream! horrors haunting frontal view , confrontation of enraged villagers attacking her family's caravan. fire. fire that consumed her home & parents as both twins escaped & fell into the darkness ; mures river. it is the lack of security, the lack of feeling safe around such a thing. dangers that hid beneath the growing flames , horrors that plagued heated mind of wanda maximoff. ivories bit bottom lip , nail biting 'pon index finger down to the flesh. a raw pain , a temporary cover-up of the exact reason. their gaze met, pietro spoke ; a must for survival.
❝ and the one that took our parents, pietro? where would we be without that particular fire? he just wanted to feed us, father did. just a lousy loaf of bread. And, for that . . . ❞ angered mob , a confrontation with her father. a horrid, most cruel repromanded. to steal for survivial, if only they all knew what it would lead to. a separation of family. two deceased in the process. ❝ our own people . . . ❞ a muffled cry , shoulders shook , leaning against pietro's shoulder. minutes went by, yet for wanda it felt like an eternity. the fire crackled, smoke flew & merged skyward into the atomsphere , releasing a soothing earthy carbon. pietro spoke up once more, a tender tone to comfort an exhausting body. to keep watch & let her rest that's what he wanted.
wanda hesitated; they both should be sleeping in their respective beds at the abandoned trailer park, yet the elder twin took responsibility for the younger one. ❝ if you need rest pietro, wake me up so I can keep watch as well. ❞ the romani child stood up from the shared log, leaned close to her brother, & kissed him on the cheek before leaving to rest in her bed.
