"Stop I don't want to hurt Natsu!" I screamed and cried as Endeavor back handed me and I went flying across our in home gym.

"You will do as you're told!" Endeavor bellowed and I heard the all to familiar sound of glass shattering again. Instead of me attacking either my brother Natsu or my sister Fuyumi I just laid there, ready for the next hit. Why does Endeavor expect us to fight?

"Listen here boy," Endeavor growled and I felt him grab my head, squeezing lifting me up that way. It hurts, it hurts so much. "You will become the number 1 hero and surpass All Might, that is your purpose. That is the reason you were created. You WILL do as you are told, when you are told." His voice sent my body trembling again.

Fear ran through my tiny body before he dropped me and he was having me run more drills, Fuyumi and Natsu were sent out of the room to clean up their messes.

When I walked into the dining room later I found them all sitting at the table, Fuyumi smiling. Does she not care what he does to me? What he does to any of us? What he has done to her?

Am I really so weak that I shouldn't be crying when he 'trains' me? We are alone, no one is coming. No one will ever come.

"Mom!" I screamed, the boiling water already burning my face. She snapped out of it and she hugged me to her, her ice trying to reverse the damage already done, but it was too late. The sound of shattering glass fell around me, filling my ears as I sobbed, clutching my mother as hard and tight as I could.

Her words still echoing inside of my head, "Why do you have to look so much like him?" Endeavor did this, he did this to her. And now because of him Mom can't see me as me anymore.

I clutched onto her as we cried there on the kitchen floor. When Fuyumi and Natsu walked in with Endeavor who tore me out of her arms.

More shattering glass.

"NO! MOMMY!" I screamed reaching out for her but I was taken away. The hospital said they couldn't do anything for the scar on my face. They already did everything they could.

I kept begging for her, "please anyone, please I just want my mommy!" But no one stopped and gave me more than a passing sad look. They all hate her.

I heard the nurses talking in the hallway about how she poured boiling water on my face. But she didn't mean to! Not really!

Mommy was gone before I was even allowed to leave the hospital, even Fuyumi and Natsu couldn't look at me. The bandages on my head only seemed to burn me more. That didn't stop me from overheating the doctors though. My burns weren't from the boiling water, they were from my mommy's ice when she was trying to make the pain go away.

Why can't I have my mommy? She was the only one that tried to keep him away. She was the only one that tried to protect me from his training.

Years past and things only got worse.

Toya, was the only one that would sneak into my room with food or treats now. Fuyumi and Natsu were afraid of me but I don't understand why. Toya was the only one who would hold me anymore, who let me cry and still told me that he loved me.

"You're the only one, please never leave me," I cried and he just held me close. Closer and tighter than any hug since Mom scarred me.

"I love you, don't forget that." He was crying now and I think I understand. He is going to leave me too.

"Don't leave me, please take me with you!" I sobbed trying to keep myself quiet so that no one would hear us outside of the room. "Please, I'll be good. Don't leave me here with him!" I sobbed and his arms tightened.
