CROW (ITACHI X READER)

PROLOGUE

TRIGGER WARNING:

I went dark again with this one, Itachi is not sunshine and roses the whole time in this fic. He may treat y/n like a Goddess but don't be fooled. He'll fuck her like a demon and lure her into his web so she has no choice but to stay.

He's toxic, wonderful, dark, sinful and controlling..

Enjoy ;)

Y/N - 13 years old

"Come on y/n! Don't be a pussy!" A voice yelled out from the bottom of the small cliff followed by a cackle. I rolled my eyes but my breathing picked up when I looked over the ledge.

It never looks high from the bottom but standing a foot from the edge, it felt like it doubled in height. It was summer time and I was at my families lake house with my best friend, the same best friend calling me a pussy for taking too long to jump.

"Screw you Itachi! It's high!" I yelled back and he laughed louder. I wished for the fearlessness that seemed to ooze out of his pores, I also wished I didn't dare him earlier; he always had to go further.

"Come onnnnn. We don't have all day!" He hollered before he floated on his back, his eyes never leaving me. It was always like this, us pushing each other to the limit to help us overcome it. I had a fear of heights and he knew it, I never backed out on a dare but this one was harder than the others.

I closed my eyes and tried to get my breathing under control, Itachi always said to give me a number, a single number that when I get to it; no matter what, I follow through.

7, the number popped in my head and with my eyes still closed, I nodded. I heard slight splashing coming from the water and I knew Itachi saw my nod and was on alert.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

I took a deep breath, opened my eyes and ran. The feeling of weightlessness hit me first before complete fear before my feet hit the water. I stayed under the water not moving for a few seconds before my instincts kicked in and I swam to the surface. As soon as I broke through the surface, Itachi's yell could be heard for miles.

"SHE DID IT!" He started whooping and cheering and I let out a loud laugh while tipping my head back.

I gasped and brought my attention to his smiling face. "I did it.." I whispered and he gave me a nod. I looked towards the cliff and smiled big before yelling. "I DID IT!"

I remembered it being a monumental moment, jumping off the highest cliff at the lake but it wasn't. My core memory from that summer was when we got out of the water and Itachi lifted me for a huge hug.

He made my legs wrap around his hips and he gripped me so tight. He told me he was proud of me and that was the first time I ever felt butterflies. That was my last great memory with him because when we left the lake house, our lives as we knew it changed forever.

I wish I knew it at the time, maybe I would have done something differently. Make a different memory or something but I never knew. I never knew it was the last time I ever saw him.

AUTHOR NOTE: LOL starting yet another fic!! I just couldn't get this plot out of my head and Itachi is so bae 😮‍💨

I hope you all enjoy! 🫶🏼
