Bleach: Fall and Rise

37: Nightmare

(a/n warning, there will be a depiction of blood and violence)

5 days later, Jun's POV

Bolting up awake I panted, clutching my chest I swallowed down the lump in my throat from the memory-turned-nightmare of the beatings my parents gave me, those dreams were also a warning for me to get the hell out of dodge, my parents close by, tears came to my eyes. 

Every time I crashed somewhere my parents would sniff me out like bloodhounds and by the time they got into the house I was long gone, it was guaranteed the people I was living with would be killed by them to crush my spirit and break me, that cycle has been going on since I ran away from home when I was 8 after I couldn't take another day of the beatings.

Even in the darkness of it all, I made 4 friends in my journies around the Rukongai and we swore to protect each other to our last breath and agreed to go to the Shin'o academy to permanently escape the demons that are my parents that used to be loving and caring when I was alive until I died at 4 years old from a disease and they found me in district 78 when they also died from the same disease and everything went to hell from there...I had only turned 6 at the time, worst birthday ever.

Looking around the barracks I groaned out loud, I must've been napping for a couple of hours since the place is completely empty, everyone must be out on the town to celebrate the start of spring break.

I hung my head, over the year the 4 of us have been here we never left school grounds in fear that my parents were in the 1st district and hunting me down and if we did leave school grounds for a party it was to the warehouse that was converted into a bar or party with the other 1st years around a bonfire in a clearing.

Snapping out of my thoughts I cringed when the door violently slammed shut' oh no, they found me, how did they find me?' I thought frantically hearing the angry footsteps storming up the stairs, the very thought of grabbing my sword to defend myself was screaming at me but I could only stand still as the last people I wanted to see arrive on the second floor.

"Didn't think we'd finally catch up with you huh?! Well, we found where you were from the idiot students attending! We're not going to listen to your apologies, you're in for a living hell when we drag your ass home!!" Dad snarled storming over and punching me in the stomach and sending me to the floor, they both start beating me as I scream out apologies" it's too late for those apologies! You might as well keep screaming!" Mom yelled yanking me up and taking out the whip.

I only cried harder knowing I'm not getting out of this, I'm going to die.

20 minutes later, Kiri's POV 

"So what happened during the final period? I heard shouting and laughter." Renji said," someone decided to bring a bucket of paint into the class and when the teacher wasn't paying attention, grabbed the bucket and drenched a random student, he didn't think that the others brought their own ammo which started a paint fight for the rest of the hour, one girl ran out as soon as the chaos started like she didn't want anything to do with it, I think her name is Jun." Kiri explained.

" Maybe she didn't want to get covered in paint, I would try to run out myself," Rukia said," it depends on the person, I've seen her walking around she looks like she would enjoy a game like that after being talked into," Hasine said," you might be right on that point, did you see if she was scared or disgusted like she didn't want to get involved?" Jack asked, I was about to say something when we heard a blood-curdling scream coming from barrack building 1.
