Chapter 13: A Warning from the Grave

" Auntie?" I asked her and she raised a finger to her lips, I watched as her eyes went back to their normal vivid green tone.

" She's not alone." My aunt muttered.

" Excuse me?" I asked.

" There are two souls in that body." My aunt said, " One that is hers, and the other isn't." My aunt mumbled.

" Who's is it?" I asked.

" A man." My aunt answered. " A violent man. He could kill her Nix, if he wanted to, he could kill her." She muttered as she pulled at her hair. " I noticed him last night, then when I did her ultrasound. He is an overbearing menacing force." She said, " The man soul is healing her physical body, he is also mentally manipulating her. Nixie, this is a fight we can't fight."

" So we just leave her to die?!" I asked and she hushed me.

" Shut up! He isn't bound to her body. But he is bound to something on her, he can leave her. Keep your voice down." My aunt ordered. " No, we aren't leaving her to die, but you have to give me time to figure out how to exercise him. Just give me time."

" We don't have time if it's who I think it is." I said and she nodded.

" I know... I fear that." She said.

" Do you know how old the soul is?" I asked.

" Not exact age, but I know that he was in his mid 30s when he died. Maybe a little older, it's hard to tell I didn't fully use my quirk." She said and I nodded.

" So what am I supposed to do?" I asked her.

" Treat her like normal. The man sees everyone as a threat, so he is a bomb just waiting to explode and kill Kaori." She said and I sighed, running my hands over my face. " I'm sorry I don't have better news."

" It's fine. Better than not knowing at all." I muttered as all of the missing pieces of the puzzle fell into place. " So... she's being held hostage in her own body?" I asked.

" Sadly... Yes." My aunt said, " He is feeding off of her. He wants something specific from her, and I can tell he is angry not at her, but at something involving her." She said and I nodded.

" Thanks Auntie." I said.

" Anytime kiddo." She said, " I'm gonna try to find a way to save her, but only you and I know about this." She stressed and I nodded. Taking a deep breath I looked over at my Aunt one more time before I left her office. Walking down the hall I made it back into the waiting room where I saw my younger cousins talking to Kaori and Bakugo smiling at her, making me roll my eyes as my mother approached.

" What did Lydia want?" She asked.

" She heard about the stab wounds, wanted to make sure that none of them got to my uterus." I answered and she nodded, I could tell she knew I was lying, but she didn't press me for it. " Go, take the kids, I'm gonna go hang out with Rue." I said my mom nodded then kissed my temple before walking over to the kids, making my cousins whine and openly protest. I smirked at their actions then noticed I felt eyes on me, looking up I saw Damian, an old villian bar keeper standing in the parking lot. Waving to my mom and kids I walked out and changed into my american villian form, I was tall and thin with red hair and green eyes, my pants went to black and ripped and my crop top turned into a black band shirt. I made fake tattoos form on my skin as I approached him.

" You know I already know your true form." He said and I nodded.

" Yeah, but I have two kids from out of the country who don't know half of what I do. What are you doing here?" I asked as we walked down the street.
