Pietro sprang up from the bed, wide awake. Just now he heard gunfire.
He saw wanda standing by the window. He hastily sprinted near wanda and grabbed her hand.
"Wanda lets get out of here!! "
Wanda shook her hand free from her brother's hand, "it won't be necessary, as long as I'm here no one can do anything to us"
"Are you sure"? Pietro asked hesitantly.
" Didn't you see yesterday? i have powers now" Wanda waved her glowing hand in front of petro's face.
"Ok, if you say so" Pietro reluctantly nodded after seeing wanda's confident look.
"Yawn" Suddenly wanda inhaled involuntarily. It was past midnight and her eyelids felt heavy. She hadn't slept for a whole day.
She walked towards the bed. She plopped down on the bed, fast asleep.
"Sigh" Pietro warily sighed after seeing his younger sister's carefree attitude in this tense situation. Ever since Wanda awakened her power she felt like a different person.
Seeing wanda fast asleep he focused his sight outside the window.
The next morning, after waking up wanda entered the bathroom to get refreshed.
"Wanda do you have a fever"? Pietro asked concerned seeing wanda's red face after seeing her exit the bathroom. It will be very bad situation if any of them get sick now, as they don't have any medicine with them.
" Don't worry I don't have fever ", wanda said while blushing, it was a very awkward moment for her. Hopefully near future she will get used to it.
" Still, let me check ", Pietro came to wanda and put his hand on her temple and neck. After confirming that she didn't have fever he let out a breathe of relief.
It was time for breakfast so they rummaged the kitchen for food. After searching they found some vegetables and bread. Wanda made some sandwiches for breakfast.
On the the table while eating wanda was contemplating what to do with her summon, should she send it back or make use of it. After thinking She made a decision in her heart.Wanda's eyes glowed demonic red as she strengthened her resolve.
"Pietro, don't freak out by what you are about to see next"
Pietro nodded. He doesn't think anything can surprise him anymore after going through so much.
A few moments later pietro wanted to slap his former self for being overconfident, for nothing could have prepared him for this moment. In front of them stood a hideous monster with hundreds of mouths.
He wanted to tell wanda to run but his mouth was shut from overwhelming terror.
Ignoring her brother's exaggerated reaction, wanda raised both her hands horizontally.
The summoned monster started screaming. Soon it became an amorphous floating soup. Wanda clasped her hands together and the soup condensed into the shape of a ping-pong ball.
"I am sorry ", Wanda pinched the fleshy ball between her index and thumb. After some hesitation she swallowed the fleshy ball. It was the most putrid and rotten tasting thing she had ever eaten. It almost made her cry.
"AHHHHH!!! " Wanda crouched down screaming. Mouths filled with razor sharp teeths appeared on her exposed skin.
Pietro watched as wanda screamed in agony. he didn't know what to do,he was clueless.
"pant,pant",After some minutes later the agonizing pain disappeared. Wanda's form returned to her normal self.
After shaking her head wanda felt the changes in her. She felt stronger than ever, she felt like she could pinch the hulk to death, of course this was just her exaggerating but it wasn't that far from the truth.
What wanda didn't know was she will have to pay a terrible price in the future in exchange for this power.Today you reap the benefits tomorrow you pay the price.
"Pietro let's go", Wanda said to the still shaken pietro before going out.
After calming down pietro followed after his sister.
Sometime later they left the ruined village behind. They walked aimlessly in search of a shelter. As the two walked on the snow covered road,slowly their silhouette started to meld together with the crimson sunset until completely disappearing.
