When The Light Fades Into Darkness (DISCONTINUED)

III

Footsteps sounded beside Hinata as a force pushed him to his side. He couldn't move. Everything, every part of his body hurt. It ached severely. But, that was nothing compared to the throbbing sensation on his thigh. He was still unconscious, an ear-bleeding ring was heard from the inside of his head. Was he dead? No, he obviously wasn't since he could hear some movements from around him.

His mind cleared up and he forced his eyes open, squinting. His vision was blurred, which didn't help. He could tell that he was still infact, in the living room. His head rested against the cold and hard floor, though his vision blurred he could tell it was morning by the way the light shone through the curtains of his house.

A mumbled, familiar voice was heard beside him as his vision cleared up. Although his head throbbed and his ears rung, he could make out who was yelling. Natsu.

Placing his hand below his head, he forced himself off of the ground. His body began began ache even worse as he shifted his body, now leaning against the wall.

A small pair of arm wrapped around Hinata's body. He flinched before lifting his own arms up and hugged his sister back. Sighing, he placed his hand in her hair as he brush it with his fingers. It was smooth, soothing to his aching fingers.

"Ni-chan! I-I thought you were dead!" Natsu cried. Her tears began soaking Hinata's shirt, the dried blood becoming moist again.

Hinata stayed silent for a minute before saying something back. "Well, I'm not dead. Right? No need to worry."

The room stayed silent as the two siblings held each other. The only sound that was heard was the shuffling of clothes. Hinata's gaze tilted downward, staring at his exposed thigh. A tan cloth wrapped around the top of his thigh. He looked back up at Natsu, confused.

"Hey.. Natsu, did you bandage my leg?" He asked as his grip around his little sister loosened. Natsu stood up to sit beside her brother.

"Nuh uh, Daddy  did."

The room went silent. Why did he bandaged him? Did he hurt Natsu?  His train of thought was disrupted by Natsu lifting up Hinata's shirt.

"I saw him bandage your whole body, see?"

His eyes widened in surprise. It made no sense to him. First he sees the dead coarpse of his mother, second he's beaten the completed shit out of by his fa,ther, and now while he was unconscious he's bandaged by the same person who abused him?

He stares at his torso for a few seconds before squeezing his eyes shut for a few seconds. Realization swept over his mind after a few minutes. It's Tuesday and he still had school to attend.

Blood rushed out of his head as he stood up, he felt dizzy. His body smacked against the wall as he held his head, trying to regain balance. Natsu held onto his side as he slumped again the wall.

After a minute he began walking, heading towards the staircase, picking his phone up off of the ground on his way. He walked up slowly, trying to avoid triggering a creaking noise. He successfully made it to his room. Changing into his uniform and grabbing his bag, he left the house, dropping Natsu off at her school on the way.

By the time Hinata got to his school, it was 10:57. Great, he was late. As he walked through the halls searching for his class, something caught his eye.

Peering into the window, he could see his reflection and to put it simple, he looked like shit. Dried blood lie under his nose and lip. A large scab had begun to form on the left side of his bottom lip. His eyes were red and puffy, and his hair was messy. It wasn't as bad as it seemed, but it still wasn't good. 

Rushing into the bathroom, he began wiping the blood off his face with the water from the sink. Running his fingers through the water to get the blood off, he used the clean water to run his fingers through his hair,  trying to fix it. His fingers weren't exactly the best brushing material, but his fingers made it better.

After he finished up in the restroom, he looked at his phone. It had just turned 10:59, he had enough time to get to class.

I'm sorry that this chapter is kinda short, I didn't really know what else to add I this chapter. I'd also like to apologize for not updating this story in a while, I've had a lot of things to do and also not a lot of confidence to write another chapter of this story. I'll try to keep updating the story more.
