That bitch Endeavor.

"Shit." Katsuki muttered under his breath. My head whipped towards him.

"Katsuki, what will happen when they...?"

I asked nervously, my heart hammered in my chest as I waited for his response.

"The only ones that can activate the Dragonstone safely are the royal family of the forest. If someone else tries to do it then... They're in deep shit. We have to stop them."

Katsuki's lips were pursed as he said that before taking off running, I took off after him as we headed in the direction of the chamber where my parents kept the Dragonstone. There were rumours about what would happen if it were fully activated by an individual when I was little. Some said it gave you infinte power. Some say it couldn't be done. I'm thinking Endeavor believed the former.

I knew the only person that would truly know was Katsuki and the look of pure terror on his usual scowling face was enough to send nervous goosebumps travelling up my spine.

The rest of the group took off running after us. I could almost keep up with the blonde but obviously he was a bit faster than me.

As I ran, my legs slowly felt like they were losing speed, the noise around me started to fade into a hum, the yelling of everyone turning muffled as my vision turned blurry. I was confused but pushed forward, but suddenly all I felt was penetrating pain. I let out a shrill scream, falling to the ground.

Katsuki stopped short, whipping around to see me fisting my hair as if I were trying to pull it out of my head just to relieve some of the pain. The screams came out as broken sobs and cries of agony.

My head was pounding so loud, as if people were knocking on the inside of my skull with sledge hammers.

Please just make it fucking stop.

Katsuki's eyebrows furrowed in concern and he was by my side within seconds.

"Shit."

He muttered, pulling me into his chest. The necklace around me sizzled and glowed, burning into my skin, but all I could focus on was this unbearable pain in my head. My body was hot to the touch.

Kirishima finally caught up with us and kneeled next to me as well. I couldn't understand what was going on. It felt like someone was sending a million volts of electricity straight through my brain whilst stabbing me.

"What's wrong with her?!"

The red head asked frantically, not knowing what to do.

"T-the necklace!"

I managed to scream out. Katsuki's eyebrows furrowed and he yanked the necklace off of my neck, it sizzled and he let out a small 'fuck' and threw it to the side. It left a burn mark on his hand and he glanced down at me with a similar one on my neck.

It felt like the first time I could breathe in forever. My body no longer threatening to explode under the pain.

Katsuki immediately found me again, pulling me closer to him, his eyes wide with concern and his eyebrows furrowed as he glaced all over me.

"You hurt?"

Our faces were so close to eachother, I could feel his breath.

No. This is not the time to be thinking of kissing him (Y/n).

I managed to shake my head.

"Uh.. No.. I'm okay.."

He nodded firmly before letting me go and helped me to my feet. The sudden absence of his touch made me feel a little empty. My eyes were glued to his frame as he ran a hand through his hair nervously, his face twisted in contemplation. My gaze then drifted towards the necklace, a small invisible force tugged me towards it. I took a step closer to it, biting the inside of my cheek. Kirishima and Katsuki were discussing something and I wasn't quite sure what since most of the surrounding sound was being drowned out as I stepped closer to the necklace, crouching down. A hand drifted to where it left a burn mark on my neck and I slightly winced as my fingers traced over the charred skin.

It had stopped glowing. Just as I reached out to pick up the object, the ground rumbled.

"We have to get the fuck out of here. C'mon."

I quickly swiped the necklace before he grabbed my hand, surprisingly gently and tugged me alone with him to the exit of the castle. The others following.

"We can't- my father's still in here!"

I protest as he kept pulling me. I tugged back, my hand slipping from his. Turning around, I ran deeper into the castle, my feet still bear and raw from slapping against so many variants of flooring.

"Son of a-"

I could hear a grumble in the distance before the sound of metalic footsteps twice as fast as mine padded behind me, catching up to me with no struggle at all.

I looked to my side and my rapidly beating heart slowed and my gazed softened. He looked at me with those gorgeous crimson eyes of his.

"You're dumb if you think I'd let you do this alone."

I smiled and nodded. There were clumps of debris breaking off of the walls and parts of the ceiling also became hazardous as they crashed down, cracking the marble floors.

My footsteps faltered every now and then when I accidentally stepped on a rock.

The very top floor is where the Dragonstone is. We just have two more flights of stairs and a hell lot of running to do.

I just hope we make it in time to stop that bitch Endeavor.

Before you say anything- I am SO sorry for not updating in so damn long. It should be a crime, I should be locked up and classified as a disgrace of an author, but it's here and there are will only be a few more updates before this fanfic is finished so I hope the ending might make up for all of this. Maybe I'll even add some bonus fluff chapters to really grovel. 😭
