Chapter 15: Secrets in the forest

written on:  20.09.2024-21.09.2024

Don't mind the changes in the writing style. I forgot about it. 

The fire continued to spread.

You thought that it was dumb how you hadn't noticed the familiarity of the place you associated with the villain before you. The place where your memory of him abruptly stopped. 

You and Dabi had been in a dance of attacking and dodging, going forward and back, your steps in synchronization. To be exact, you were the one that dodged while he attacked, the warmth creating droplets of sweat on your skin. 

It became suspicious to you how Bakugo hadn't interfered, you thought. 

You had almost been sure that he would.

"Doesn't it get boring to just attack and miss?", asked you ironically, the monotone tone never leaving your voice. 

"The game has just started"

It had been ten minutes into the fight. 

Ten minutes without any trace of the bastard that brought you into this situation. The thought kept you busy. If he had left, then you probably wouldn't find him again and leave him rot here. If he was still there, then something was wrong. 

The smoke had taken a massive amount of the air. With every second you were wasting here, the forest was burning, destroying the scenery with a single quirk. 

Dabi had changed his attacks, customizing his movements with the way you moved to win and burn you alive.

He had no special reason for his murder, but you happened to be in his way.

You cursed under your breath as you covered your mouth and nose, the amount of oxygen getting tight.

Risking the chance of the villain finding your classmate, you stepped backward, using the trees which were on fire to dodge his oncoming attacks, your palms getting burned by them. 

The grass had dried under the warmth.

Meanwhile, Kirishima was panicking. He didn't know what to do. He had only looked away for a single second as he watched you win, and then, you both were gone. 

His hands grabbed his head as he tried to think of a solution, his feet bringing him to the place where he last saw you. 

There was no trace of you. Neither of you. 

"[L/N]? Bakugo?", he asked into the nothingness, looking around as he considered to call the police.

Nevetherless, he had noticed something on a nearby tree, fresh carvings on it.

" 'Go home. We'll be okay. Inform his parents and the teachers' ", he read out loud, sighing in relief and confusion as he looked around. 

He hadn't even seen you carving that into the tree. 

One of your spikes hid behind the tree, splitters of wood still on it.

"Bipolar Disorder - Ame Gedeon"

"Vanished - Crystal Castles"

The man noticed. 

He noticed the pattern of your steps and dodges.

You were moving like someone who wanted to retreat.

"Retreating already? The real deal hasn't even begun", spoke Dabi, his flames getting bigger the more you dodged, burning the trees next to you, the branches covered in the fire hitting the ground before they turned into ashes.
