Tartaglia | A start to a million crimes.

You're around 18-19. You're vision is Hydro.

Yukiko's P.O.V

I curled up, wrapping a blanket around my shoulders. I've been hiding for a while now, but I don't know how much longer I can stand being in this cave without food. And I have no mora...

My mother and father have been sending searches for me every week. If someone so much as recognized a piece of my clothing I would be put back into their toxic abusive grasp. But, of course, no one would believe me when I told them they threw me into the abyss for weeks on end as punishment for not doing as they said.

I coughed, seeing blood on my hand. I need fresh water and food... it feels like my head is going to explode and my organs are going to collapse. I curled up more. I would have taken food with me, had I prepared for this day...

I heard someone approaching, making me quickly look up, moving farther back into the darkness. A man with ginger hair slipped in, hiding behind part of the wall. An entire mob ran past, only one peering into the cave for a split second. The man sighed with relief. I coughed again, making him quickly look at me. A sly smile made it's way to his face as he approached me.

"Well, well, what do we have here?"

I looked up at him, his expression changing as he looked into my eyes. I felt tired... so very tired...

"Hey, don't die yet." I felt him put his hand on my face. "Here, do you want this?"

He offered me a glass bottle of water. It was only half full, But to me it was like an entire fucking clean ocean in a bottle. I quickly took it from him and chugged it, my body aching as I drank it. I gasped for air as I finished it, somewhat feeling better. He sat down next to me and handed me a couple apples, me quickly eating at it. He frowned a bit at me.

"I know how you feel right about now." He mumbled, biting into an apple.

I froze, looking at him. My red eyes met his, both of ours seeming just as dull. My hunger came back and I continued to eat the apple, throwing the core and starting on the second one. He gently ran his fingers through my light pink hair, which was about to the middle of my back. I slapped away his hand, a scowl on my face.

I looked like neither of my parents. They convinced the entire village I was a devil's curse, so that's part of the reason no one cared for my pain. They were all dead convinced that I was a demon. Maybe I was. I mean, my small black horns might be proof of that, along with my skin being as pale as the moon. After all, my parents weren't demons.

Well, not on the outside.

I finished the second apple, feeling somewhat better. I looked at him and then looked at his hand.

"Thank you." I mumbled.

He looked out of the cave for a second. "You should come with me. This cave isn't good for you."

I shook my head. He gently ran his fingers through my hair again, me scowling at him for a bit before accepting it. He got up, extending his hand.

"Please, come with me."

I looked at him with a scowl before grabbing his hand. He helped me up, keeping hold of my hand.

"Does your throat hurt?" He tilted his head. "I have more water, if you need it."

I nodded quickly. I was about six inches shorter than him, about the height where I could headbutt his nose. Not that I would, though. I mean, I was practically dying not too long ago. He handed me the water, me chugging at it again. I handed him the empty bottle when I was done, him sighing.
