Your sweet blood~ A tododeku halloween story

Part 8 - a heavy burden

Todoroki P.O.V. 

"M-My scar?" I got extremely shocked. "Why the hell do you ask!" I got up from my chair and the cup in my hand fell to the ground and shattered. My eyes got red and I gnashed my fangs. When I saw how scared Midoriya got I calmed  down myself quickly. 

"I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me."

"N-No No, I should be the one to apologize. It seem like a quite sensitive topic for you. Of course you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to. I was just curious."

"Yes it is a quite sensitive topic for me. But...I think it would be better if I would tell someone about it and don't continue to carry around this heavy burden myself. And if you wish to know then I'll try to satisfy you."

"No, you really don't have to do that for me. I only want you to tell me if you relly trust me and if you're 100% certain that it is okay."

"Yes, I'm certain. Plus it would be good if I tell someone. I've heard talking with someone about heavy burdens, problems and secrets would could help to lighten the burden.

So, It all started when I was young. My father is the vampire king. He is obsessed with the desire for power. To gain more power he studied old black magic. He became a powerfull fire sorcerer. Fire - one of a vampires greatest fears. With this new power he made all vampires his subjects and servants. My mother was an ice-witch. My father only used her for power and to make him a powerfull successor. I have 3 other siblings. Touya, Fuyumi and Natsuo. My oldest brother, Touya, is missing. I suppose he got consumed by his own flames. My father told me that he is dead. He always calls him a failure. He wasn't satisfied with my other siblings. But when I was born he decided that I shall be the next vampire king. He trained me every day. My physical strength as well as my special abilities. He was very harsh and let me no time to rest. The training always resulted in wounds. My mother tried to protect me, but my father would hit her every time. I couldn't stand to watch my mother getting hurt because of me. One day I overheard her talking on a phone. She said she couldn't stand it anymore. She called my left side unbearable. It always reminded her of my father. He drove her insane. When she realized i heard what she said, she put boiling water over my face. My father then sent her to an other part of his kingdom. I've never seen her since. She was always the one who protected and cared about me. I miss her so much. And it's all my old man's fault."

As I finished I looked over to Midoriya. He seemed paralyzed. 

"I-I had no idea, I-I'm so sorry. I feel so bad for asking. Is there anything I can do to make you feel better."

"Thanks for your consideration but you know, the past is past. There's no one who can change it."

That must be terrible. He always is so nice but seems so sad at the same time. 

"Hey, I just want you to know that I'll always be there for you and if you ever need to talk or just let yourr feelings out you can always count on me."

"Thank you so much, Midoriya-kun. I really appreciate your kindness very much."
