When Octavia Violet was 10 years old she watched her childhood home burn to the ground as she was dragged away by a man who swore to protect her and get her help.
She was held captive for two weeks after that, alone and scared , being used as an ex...
The room was damp and cold, a tall man with brown hair walked in and I could feel the fear building inside me, it was happening again.
"STOP!" I screamed out in agony as a sharp pain rained through my body, like my blood was on fire. It was unlike anything i have ever felt as the needle injected the red liquid into my vein.
" MOM, please" I cried out for her, knowing that she will never hear me, never save me. Images of my house burning raced through my mind, the screams as I got carried away, leaving them to burn. Despite my cries the man never stopped, day after day, he would come in and then leave.
A voice layered in years of hatred, a voice I so often heard in that cell in the mornings, spoke to me " No one is coming to save you"
"We need results" I always heard another man say from outside the door, the sight of fire on his face haunted me.
Everything went black, there were screams and fire, blue fire, I could feel myself fading in and out as it got closer, I was weak, the days faded into each other, It was a never ending darkness, until he came.
" It's okay, I'm going to save you" he spoke in a soft voice, but his actions were dark, his hands covered in blood as he pulled me from that bed and dragged me out, I slumped into his arms, barely conscious. His eyes were beautiful, like the ocean, I focused on them as he ran through that building.
"Who are you?" I said, my voice cracking as the boy looked down at me. " Touya To-" he was cut off by screaming from a deep voice, he threw me behind him and turned to the voice.
" Run Octavia, run!" he screamed at me as my bare feet smacked the pavement, using any energy I had to run. I looked back and saw his eyes burning the same color as the flames he used to protect me. A man twice his size walked up to him and grabbed onto him, I felt every part of my screaming to go back, to save him.
He was hunched over on the ground, fire covering his whole body as he screamed, tears filling his eyes.
" TOUYA!"

I woke up when someone was shaking my shoulders, soaked in my own tears as an empty feeling haunted me once again.
" O! Wake up!" My eyes shot open and they met with the familiar crimson red ones, the tears falling off my chin as his arms wrapped around me " It was just a nightmare, you are safe now" his deep voice spoke to me and it calmed me down, like it always has. Katsuki Bakugou was someone I owed my life to, he was the one that found me that awful night, curled up in the park, with nowhere to go. He brought me to his parents and I begged them not to go to the police, I didn't trust them. They brought me into their home and raised me as their own.
I cried into his arms as I so often did on nights like these. " stay" I whispered to him as he laid me back down and laid next to me, taking me in his arms. He gently ran his fingers through my hair, it was soft and something that soothed me. I slept the rest of the night, the nightmare of memories didn't return as the ash blonde boy held onto me until the sun came up.

I quietly walked down the hall and into the bathroom, turning the shower on I stepped in and let the warm water wash away the fear from last night. I rain my hands along my arms and the scars still littered my forearms but I have learned not to hate them, instead I use them to push myself to be stronger. The ran my fingers through my long hair, I always loved my hair, it was black but it faded into the most beautiful purple near the ends. ( This was my inspiration )

Once i was finished I went back to my room to get dressed, today was going to be Katsuki's first day at training camp and I was going with him for support. His teacher had asked me if I could because he works better with me around. I was a third year at UA high, my 18th birthday was right around the corner, soon I will be a pro hero, something I'd never imagined I'd be doing. The camp was a break from all the hard work I'd been doing, what I didn't know was that it was going to change my life, and not for the better.
Just as I finished getting ready there was a knock at my door, I looked over " Come in" I said and the door opened, it was Katsuki eating a piece of toast, still not ready " Are you going to get ready, we can't be late" He scoffed and stared at me
" we can't be late if you are driving" he said in a sarcastic tone and I walked over and took the toast from his hand and began to eat it, smiling.
"hey! " He said scrunching his eyebrows " Late picking up your friends, who are most likely waiting for you, now go" I said, pushing him out of my room. I sighed and rolled my eyes picking up my suitcase and walking downstairs.
" Good morning, are you all ready to go honey?" I heard the softest voice say to me as I placed my suitcase by the front door. I turned and smiled at her, the women that raised me. Mistuki Bakugo. " Yeah I'm ready but Katsuki isn't but what's new" she laughed and gave me a hug, I hugged her back and smiled. "Be safe, the both of you." She pulled back and gently touched my cheek before going back to the living room.
" Katsuki you have two minutes!" I yelled up the stairs and I heard him grumble and spit out swear words as he stomped down the stairs, glaring at me. " I hate you," He said and I laughed and grabbed his bag. " You love me" I say and he smirks at me and rolls his eyes " Bye old hag" he says and walks outside.

" Hey guys, ready for this road trip" I say happily, wiggling around in my seat. Katsuki's friends had become my friends over the years, we were all a pretty tight knit group. Kirishima laughed and leaned over my seat and kissed my cheek. " Your the best" he said and Katsuki growled and pulled him back next to him, I laugh and shake my head " you are just jealous your boyfriend likes me better" Kirishima laughs and Katsuki grumbles and leans against him " At least I have one" he says and i gasp dramatically " I have a somewhat boyfriend" I say and pout at him. Denki looks over at me from the passenger seat and smirks " That guy Tamaki that comes over sometimes that you sneak off with" he says and leans closer to me, that dumb smirk on his face " you could be with me instead" he says and I laugh and push him back with my hand " I love you Denki but no" I say and place my hands back on the wheel.
We pulled up to the last house and I smiled brightly when Mina came running towards the car, I giggled as she opened the door and pulled Denki out before getting in and reaching over to hug me " Hi baby, i missed you" she says in a bubbly voice and I hug her back. " I missed you too, this is going to be the best road trip ever" I squeal happily and pull away, I look back at the three now squished boys and laugh " Well for some of us" I say looking back at Mina who was laughing.
So began the road trip to camp, I didn't know it would be the last time I'd see them for a while, I didn't know that the people that were laughing in my car would soon be crying and begging for me in a few days.
