The Eclipse

Chapter 11

No one Pov

Hinata didn't go to school that day. Friday. The second time hinata ended up limping from his parents' bedroom. Shindo supposedly informed the school with some well knitted lies, perfect for hiding the tangerine's hell hole.

Hinata sat on the cold floor. Blood seeping through the tiles' edges as it drained. Rotten iron filling his nostrils.

After a while the tangerine got up, got some few bandages and disinfectant to try and clean the wounds.

Natsu came in holding ice cubes. He scooted towards her brother and carefully placing the ice cubes over his black and blue skin, avoiding the wounds. Natsu also insisted to finish the job. She poured alcohol as Hinata bit the sheets in an attempt to avoid screaming. It was useless tho.

Of course she saw the cuts. Cuts perfectly aligned with each other. She stared at them as Hinata looked down guiltily.

"Im sorry natsu...i couldn't help it. I know its a dumb excuse bu-''

"I know, Shou-nii...it's not-...i know." Natsu said as she covered all wounds, red spots appearing through bandages.

They both smiled at each other. Seemingly deleting all those vile memories downloaded hours ago. They hugged each other tight as if grabbing their very own lifeline. Well it is literally at this point.

Timeskip~~

Sunday evening, hinata looked at himself in the mirror. He can now move well as the bruises and fractures got healed a bit. He couldn't wait for tomorrow's practice. He could finally see his family; Karasuno volleyball club.

As he scanned through his image, he noticed there wasn't any lethal scars on his legs.

Shindo was cruel. But he wasn't stupid. A single sign of abuse would get him and his gang in trouble. As much as hinata would like that to happen he still have their necks. Ready to be snapped whenever they look in other direction. Whenever they look for help.

'Hopeless'

He sighed and went downstairs to try and eat something. Even tho they all end up thrown up if he eats too much. He grabbed a sandwich and went back upstairs. He told natsu to stay in her room as hell is coming home. Hell....

"Shitty kid!!!" Shouted shindo as he almost broke the door.

Hinata rushed from the kitchen and greeted Shindo, along with Ichijo. He trembles as he knows whats gonna happen next if he messed up.

Luckily they only went for a drink and asked hinata to bring alcohol, letting him escape from the taller guys.

Snickering filled the gloomy house as hinata tried to calm down and sleep. He needs to be ready for tomorrow. He won't be suspicious. He can't drag them to this bloodstained world he is forced to stay in.

He just. Cant.
