//~[Chapter 17; Training Camp]~\\

It'd been a few days since we arrived. Kota wasn't really liking the idea of the hero class but didn't seem to like me either, but it was honestly a relief knowing not everyone liked me. "Hey Kota, whatcha got there?" I asked locking eyes with the kid, his red hat on as always and that mean glare didn't seem to effect his composure
"None of your business" Kota growls going to walk away as Izuku walked up asking the same thing I did, Kota said the same thing to him as he said to me "Anderson" I stopped at the sound of my name turning to face Aizawa.
"What's up?" I asked calmly locking eyes with him, his frown was the same as mine and didn't show any emotion "Partner up with someone" That was all he said before walking away.
Honestly I loved the woods, it was so peaceful and empty filled with wildlife and discoveries, not only that I loved the smell of smoked firewood! It brought a sense of relief to me somehow;
sighing to myself I wander off somewhere into the forest admiring the trees and sky hidden behind the leaves. I found a nice spot under one of the trees to sit down, the grass was a beautiful green and the tree was covered in moss. The moon beamed down onto the spot I was sitting in causing me to yawn and find comfort on the tree slipping into a well earned nap.

When I woke chaos had erupted, blue fire everywhere, screams and shouts could be heard.
Taking a breath I sit up and stretch finding myself heading straight for the fire, smoke rising and getting thicker the closer I got; through the smoke I heard a few voices chatting
I couldn't get what they were saying but I managed to snatch some of what they were talking about "Your fire is spreading so quickly! You're scary" A voice claimed as a familiar 'tch' was heard but I couldn't hear his voice over the roaring flames and screams of everything going on.
The tree I was hiding behind had bursted into flames and was threatening to jump at me. It took most of my energy to keep from going 'agh' but it also got harder to breath "How can you breath in this smoke Dabi? You're impressive!" That same voice yelled shocking me to my core. Dabi?! No, no he's not here. There's multiple people out there named Dabi, yeah, I must be hearing things My mind spun with thoughts and questions, no matter how much I tried to convince myself it was finally confirmed when I heard his voice.
That groggy and deep voice "We should get moving" Still shocked at this discovery my body moves back away from the fire only to trip over a stump and fall back making a loud thud and a snap, their talking ceased and they stepped closer. Immediately I lock eyes with the two, my eyes wide while tears threatened to fall
"Who are you?! Let's kill her" The double mask said turning to Dabi, he just stayed silent and watched my horrified expression his eyes were sad and regretful seeing me here. "Shigaraki said something about wanting that black haired girl with the magnet quirk or something right?" Dabi said calmly looking over to the double masked man who was struggling to pull something out from his pocket
while the two were distracted I stand and turn around to run away from them only to be caught by the shirt and pulled into the arms of someone- Dabi in particular, his muscular arms and warm body only added to the heat of the fire
"She's not on the list. What do we do with her?" The man asked as the fire roared loudly swaying from side to side. "Well, if she's not on the list we take her with" Dabi shrugged throwing me over his shoulder walking away with a calm tone.
I struggle against him and try using my metal quirk on his staples but it had no effect, most likely because my mind wasn't clear on what I wanted to do with them and just ended up trying to use my light- didn't work since it was dark out. "You're an asshole!" I yelled pointing towards Dabi kicking at his chest trying to get off of him and get help
my thigh started heating up causing me to wince and freeze in place "Try again and I'll burn you to a crisp" He threatened, his tone harsh and warning. I do as he says and eventually end up picking leaves off of burning trees watching the fire burn away at the living organism as if it were a virus. "That threat really worked on her! She's too quiet" That half and half mask guy said looking back to watch as I stared at the fire dancing around on the leaf completely unaware to the fire getting closer to my hand, until it burnt me and left growing blisters; I wince but stared at them in admiration
"Let's go regroup with the others" Dabi said calmly as I grabbed another leaf and held it towards Dabi's elbow curious to see if he could feel the pain. He didn't even flinch!
But that's about the same time I was starting to take in the smoke; fighting off the urge to cough didn't help, I just ended up coughing the entire time thanks to the fire Dabi had started.
I knew he had a fire type quirk I just didn't realize it was this powerful, no wonder he has burns everywhere!; Looking around I accidentally hit the back of my head on a branch but quickly reach out for it.
Once I had it in hand I refused to let go causing Dabi to stop walking and try to pull me off. This only helps me as I now could pull myself up onto the branch making it harder for Dabi to pull me back down; I think he gave up not too long after because his grip ceases and they began to turn the corner, this was until the tree started on fire and was spreading quickly
"We shouldn't be wasting our time on her! What the hell are you doing?!" Dabi glances back at the man saying something inaudible and turns back to face me. He was waiting for this. Waiting to strike when he knew I was weakest. I was his prey and by now we both knew it.
The branch I was on started burning to ash, so I make a jump for the next tree over and was barely able to catch myself on it. The tree was higher up and harder to climb than the last but I managed. "Why am I so important to you guys! I'm not in the hero course and I'm not that powerful!" I snapped looking down at the two men in anger, Dabi's eyes met mine through the thick overwhelming smoke and fire, hatred and distrust was plastered over my face as we continued staring at one another, our trance was broken when the branch I was crouched on started snapping
instantly I went to jump to the next branch but my weight must've been too much and it snapped in half dragging me down with it.
I didn't scream as I fell, I didn't call out for help either, if I did I'd look weak and I hated looking weak. Squeezing my eyes shut my body went limp as I prepared to hit the ground, the air came to a sudden stop as arms wrapped around me. Panting my eyes shot open to see Dabi holding me close to his chest
"Try something like that again I'll burn you to a crisp" He growls loudly; though his expression was fierce and deadly, his grip was gentle and comforting. Our eyes met and I saw a sort of sadness in them.
What if he was forced to do this and I just assumed? Guilt and thoughts consumed my mind as he began walking "Twice hurry ahead and tell the others I'll be there soon, I need to take care of something" Dabi said making eye contact with the half and half guy
he looks from me to Dabi as if sending a silent message then left leaving Dabi and I listening to the panic of everyone around us, setting me down I lost my temper and punched him across the face; my knuckles felt as if they were being ripped apart and my anger grew by the second. His head was tilted off to the side
his unburnt cheek started turning red while the staples holding his burnt skin together began bleeding, looking down I saw that three of his staples had gotten stuck into my skin, causing tremendous pain to sore through my knuckles all the way to the end of my wrist.
Growling I ignore the pain and glare up at the tall man before me. His eyes were locked on my posture and didn't seem to be acknowledging the bleeding or the fact that his face had to of been hurting as much as my hand was "You alright doll?" Dabi asked cooly looking up to meet my eyes; they narrow slightly and I let out a deep growl
"No! I'm not alright Dabi! Look around you, everything's on fire, my friends are getting hurt, the pro's are doing everything in their power to help! And you and your friends don't care what happens to those students or about who gets injured!" I snapped angrily taking a step towards him but quickly backed away;
he only stands there watching as I backed away from him; sighing I look down sadly glancing at my knuckles then clenched my fists together wincing at the sting I felt.
Looking back up tears stung my eyes as I made eye contact with him, they weren't sad tears nor were they angry tears. Yes I was angry but all I felt at the moment was betrayed
I trusted him and he betrayed that trust, he told me I didn't know anything about him that I didn't know anything. And he was right. I knew nothing. I trusted someone I shouldn't have and now I was paying for it.
"You're right, I don't care, not about them and not about the league, I don't care about anyone but you" His words came out harsh and scratchy as he spoke; the fire raged on roaring like a thousand angry ghosts screaming for help
"Only for me. That's a lie I've heard so many times throughout my life. You say that to make me feel wanted, to make me feel better about myself, you don't mean a word of it until I do something you like." I growled clenching my fists tightly keeping eye contact with Dabi. He didn't say anything to that as his expression was void and his eyes were blank
Dabi takes a few steps closer as I take a few steps back until my back was pressing against a tree and Dabi was hovering over me
one hand pinning me further against the tree while the other hand remained at his side; leaning in close our faces were centimeters apart his eyes narrowing slightly as he spoke "If I was lying would I have kept you alive today? I could easily kill you in fact I can kill you right now but am I going too? No I'm not doll so stop pitying yourself and listen" His voice was deep and gravely as his breath ghosted my face.
