Hero of Void (Discontinued)

Chapter 2: Empty Shell

Izukus dream for the night was one of the strangest he had yet. He was inside his apartment, but everything seemed do be way darker than usual. The only lightsource seemed to be coming from him, though it's very faint.

For no real reason he picked up the Pure Nail and put on the Mothwing cloak. He went around the familiar shapes where he lived with his Mother, no sound other than his feet tapping against the ground. Searching everyroom for a signal of live, he eventualy got into the Bathroom and looked into the mirror.

He starred into his Reflection, the Cloak hiding his entire body from the shoulder down, at least what would be visible in the mirror. The Nail was on his back, easaly accesable to quickly grab if need be. His face even paler than it was in the morning, looking as if it was glowing in the Darknes that surrounds him. His eyes and hair kept the same green color as before, though he could see something as pale as his skin peeking out of his hair from both sides of his head.

Looking into hos reflection he heard the faint thumping pf a heart. Taking a closer look he saw the black charm on his cloak, the same spot he had it on his shirt before he seemingly lost it. With every heartbeat the white glow coming through the Charms eyes emit a ghastly glow.

Izuku looked down, expecting to se the charm on his cloak, but it wasn't there. Looking back up the charm was still pinned on his cloak. He took his arm out from the cloak to touch his reflection. He almost made contact when his reflection latched out with a black clawed hand.

Using his free hand, Izuku grabbed his Nail and hit the Mirror, breaking it in countles pieces. The last thing he remembers from his dream was pain, horrible pain and a pair of big glowing white eyes starring at him from where his reflection was.

Waking up, he lets out a loud yell, the pain having carried over from his Dream/Nightmare. Inko rushed to her screaming son, who was holding his arm where the black claw grabbed him. Seeing a black substances on the arm he was holding, she wasted no time trying to calm him down. But her calls fell on deaf ears as Izuku contenued screaming.

Getting desperate, Inko grabed her phone and called the nearest ambulance. Her heart was beating while waiting for someone to pick up. The momemt someone picked up she desperately cried her need of their help, which combined with Izukus wailing made whoever picked up instantly belive. They told her that help would be on their way and that she should try to calm her son down.

And so she did, hugging him tightly and saying calming words through her own sobs. Once ghe ambulance arrived, Izuku did calm down enough to stop screaming, but he was still whining loudly. By the time they where in the Ambulance, Izuku zas fallen unconscious.

When he came to, he was blinded by a bright white, the terror between his dream and now compleatly forgotten. Slowly his eyes began adjusting to the brightnes and the rest of his senses seem to be coming back to him. Soon he saw that he was in the white room of a Hospital.

His room seemed to be generic with a clear view of the city. The thing missing was the beeping maschine that would tell if someones heart was still beating. Feeling the weight of something, she saw his Mother sound asleep with her head on his arm. Her face, while looking peacefull in her state, had spots of dried up tears running down.

Izuku lifted his other arm to shake her awake, when he noticed that it was completely covered in black, just like the one from his reflection. He looked at it for a second when a doctor came in, suprised to see him awake.

Doctor: "You're awake! Thank goodnes, you gave us quite the scare last night." He looked at Inko. "Would you mind answering some questions while we wait for her to wake up?" Izuku nodded.

The Doctor took the other non occupied chair in the room and sat beside him. "So, would you please tell me your name?"

Izuku: "Izuku Midoria." He answered, his voice rough and dry.
