A New World (Todoroki x OC)

Chapter 36 - Revenge

I don't remember much of back then. I was little and going through immense trauma. But after they had saved me, about a month later, they had asked me questions.

And I remember that I had forgotten everything except some pieces of the crash.

"So you have no idea who your parents are?" They ask me.

I stay silent, not paying attention.

The man in front of me sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Well we have no leads then. But... I guess it's best she doesn't remember. I don't think we'll need to go with the plan. Eraserhead may decide what to do with the girl." The man stands, taking his files with him, and leaves.

I don't know any of these people. Don't know any of these names. I don't know anything. What am I doing here?

I look up to see myself standing in a pool of blood. The red substance all over my arms and I can feel it, hot and fresh on my face. My eyes widen as I look at my blood covered hands. I immediately try to rub it off and shake it. But each movement just causes more and more of the liquid to appear and drip from my body.

Eventually, I realize it's not my blood.

It's their blood.

People litter the ground, lifeless, their eyes clouded over. I yelp, falling back into the puddle of blood and scramble backwards, slipping on the liquid. Suddenly, I feel myself back into something and pause.

I look up to see a man grinning down at me. "Nicely done... I'm glad this is fun for you. You're next in line to take over the business." He leans closer, his breath horrid, the smell of alcohol filling my nostrils. "I hope you don't dissapoint me, Buki."

I'm terrified.

You love it. You love the sight of death. Let's please father and be the strongest alive. We'll feed on fear. Fear... Is our strongest weapon.

"TODOROKI!" I sit up, drenched in cold sweat and breathing hard.

Immediately, I feel an embrace. "Natsumi. Calm down. It was just a dream." Todoroki holds me closely as I begin to sob. He sways me gently and I bury my face into his shoulder.

I can feel my throat burning and my head splitting with a headache. My tears make my face damp along with Todoroki's shirt.

I can still feel it.

The blood.

The fear.

The evil.

"Natsumi, take deep breaths. Everything will be fine. You're hear with me." He whispers, holding me tighter. Then, I realize he's shaking.

I pull back, calmer now. "W- what is it?"

He pulls me close again. "Nothing... I was just worried."

I rest my head on him, his hand running through my hair, soothing me. As I sniffle, The door opens and I feel Todoroki look over.

"Is he asleep?" He asks.

"Yeah... Is she okay?" I recognize the voice as Ren's.

I pull away from Todoroki and look at Ren, eyes still puffy. It only takes a look for Ren to understand.

"Tora is sleeping in my bed tonight. You were thrashing around a long and hit him a couple times. He's fine, just tired." His words send a chill down my spine.

But I just nod and go back into Todoroki's safe embrace.

"Alright, well I'm gonna go back to bed. Please... Just calm down, alright, Natsu?" My brother doesn't wait for my reply and leaves me and Todoroki, shutting the door behind him.
