Burning Flame

Part 32

Listen to Half God Half Devil for this one.

You wake up in your bed and look around. I don't remember coming home last night. You get up, change, and head upstairs to find your sister in the kitchen.

"Morning Sunshine. Breakfast is ready." Scarlet says and you carefully made your way to the table, eyes locked on her.

"Listen Sunshine. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm not going to make excuses for it. But I will explain to you why I yelled at you." She says and you nod seeing her expression.

"You know how you're hearing that voice?" She asks.

Of course you know about that horrid thing. It's been driving you insane.

"Yes. But what does that have to do with you and you snapping at me last night?" You ask her still confused and hurt.

"That voice you're hearing, is an entity. One that our ancestor made a deal with that gave us our demonic and angelic abilities." She explains and realization hits you.

Of course! No normal Demon or Angel would be able to enter your mind like that without your permission.

"Wait. I remember reading something about it in our family's history. While you were in your coma, I went to your library to look for answers to help you." You say and she looks at you as you recall the pages.

"The book also mentions that two Akuma sisters will fuse their bodies and souls together to end the entity's life. I never really believed that part of the text, until now. The entity is messing with us differently. For you you're hearing a voice, for me it's messing with my emotions." Your sister explains and you finally get it.

It's purposely causing a rift between you and your sister to prevent the fusion.

"Yeah, as you know I never really wanted to know about our family's history but desperate times called for desperate measures." You say with a small smile.

"Again Sunshine, I'm very very sorry for yelling at you like that last night. I never wanted you to think of our mother when you look at me. I never wanted to scare you, especially like that." Your sister explains, tears flowing down her face. "All I've ever wanted for you was a good life full of happiness, laughter, security. A better life than I had. A better life than you had." She continues, her voice cracking.

You quickly get up from the table and hug her. She collapses in your arms as she sobs. The last time you seen your sister this tore up is when she sent your parents to jail for abusing the both of you.

"I know that's all you've ever wanted for me Scar. And I think you've done a damn good job at it." You say chuckling and wipe a few of her tears away. She lets out a small chuckle as well and holds your hand in hers.

"You've done better than our parents ever did. I'm so grateful for you Scar. And you have given me those things and more to be honest. And I know our lives were shitty." You say to her hoping that your words of encouragement makes her feel a bit better.

"Thank you Sunshine, for being the best damn little sister I could have ever asked for." She says as she hugs you tightly.

"You're welcome Scar. And thank you for being the best damn big sister I could have ever asked for." You say hugging her just as tight.

"We need to get dressed and head to school. I've got that fight with Eraserhead today remember?" She says getting up with your help.

"How could I forget?" You say laughing a bit and head downstairs to change into your hero costume. You were fixing your hair when you had a text message from Bakugo.
