Take My Hand

Blood Maiden's origins part 2

She walks around through the back of the school to not get caught by other students. But that dream is short-lived when a group of guys and girls surround her. The looks on their faces mixed with rage and excitement.

"What do you think you're doing tanaka?" One of the girls sneered.

"Ww-what do you mean?" She asked, trying to calm her shaking voice, her hand still throbbed from the lamberfeeti assault she had taken.

Another girl with rainbow hair approached her and suddenly she felt a hard stinging sensation across her cheek. "Don't play dumb Tanaka! Nakamura senpai told us all about what you said to her this morning."

"But I don't know what you are talking about. I-i never said anything bad i-i just talked a-about my mo-'' She doesn't get to finish as one of the male students punches her in the stomach.

They all closed in around her punching and kicking her at any part that was in their line of sight. The only thing she could do was curl into a tight ball hoping no one would cause any internal bleeding. Wrapping her hands around her head to avoid any serious head injuries. One of the guys got one last kick to her stomach and with that she started to taste blood.

"HEY! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" Someone yelled. The tall figure stood face shadowed from her view. Whoever they were they radiated an immense power. All of the hitting and kicking came to an abrupt stop. Giving her a chance to spit the blood out of her mouth.

"Back away from her right now." The mystery figure said.

"Who the hell ar-"

"Right now!" They bellowed.

Everyone slowly dispersed mumbling and grumbling as they left the scene. He didn't even attempt to move from the position she was in on the ground. Slowly she pulls herself up and turns her face to her savior.

A very tall, wide-set man of a bulky, muscular build, with lightly tanned skin stood looking down at her. She could see a few visible scars showing on his left cheek and the left side of his neck. He has short pale gray hair which is spiked upwards, away from his face, the only exception to this being the small clump of hair which hangs down over the left of his forehead. His eyes are very small and thin, and he has a wide mouth with two prominent lower canines, which appear even when his mouth is closed.

She stumbles out "T-thank you for helping me."

He grunts out "I didn't do it for you. Just annoyingly loud."

As he turns to leave she grabs the sleeve of his shirt. "W-would you like to be friends with me?"

He rips his arm away from her and sneers "I'm already labeled as a Villainous freak because of my quirk I don't need the extra shit from hanging with a quirkless freak."

With that she's left in silence. Dangerous thoughts creeping in. She walks to the bathroom and cleans herself up glancing in the mirror.

"Why do I have to deal with this? What did I ever do wrong? Maybe I should just die.." She whispers to herself like a small prayer.

Her phone rings and she sees it's her mom, her mind and heart calm and relaxed at this.

'Hey mom, what's up?'

'Sweetheart, your class is still coming to the museum right?'

'Yeah we're supposed to head out at 9.'

'Awesome ok sweetheart see you later. Love you. '

The kids are rambunctious and rowdy walking down the sidewalk towards the museum. Crowds of people buzzing with excitement as they neared their destination. Now most kids wouldn't like field trips to museums but this one is a hero museum with the new endeavor exhibit. Kayla isn't much of a fan of Endeavor, sure he is a hero who took out a lot of villains but his death rate was outrageously high.
