"Woodland- The Paper Kites"


"LET GO OF ME"

Your hand grabbed his broken wrist on purpose while you led him through the seemingly familiar forest.

Your senses were guiding you, your long-forgotten childhood-self indulging into the nostalgia this place made you feel in the depths of your hidden soul. 

Even though your memories didn't let you remember anything about those moments yet, your heart could never forget. It resembled the storage for your locked-away feelings, almost nonexistent due to the years passing by, most of your feelings being unused and blunt. 

Your feet walked on their own, the muscle memory leading you through the maze of nature. Bakugo continued his protests and questioning. His voice filled the silence. 

"WHERE ARE WE GOIN', HOLE EYES?", asked he in his usual angry demeanor. 

His question was left unanswered. 

"I can't fly us out of here and you are too injured to use your quirk for a longer distance. We have to find a way out. But you need to get rid of your poisoning first", elaborated you as you soon stood before a stone wall. Lianas were covering the surface of it while green leaves stuck to the stone.

"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP"

You let go of him as your fingertips ran through the edges of the stone, the black material on your palms sinking into the hard surface as the wall started to rattle while debris fell from it. 

A little hole enough for a kid to crawl through appeared at the foot of the wall. It had the same colour as your spikes. 

Your hand reached down to it and grazed the black material. Cracks started to form around it, more debris falling to the ground before a full entrance was made, the lianes swinging to the side.

"The fuck is that?", cursed Bakugo as he watched the whole scenario. He was beyond confused. Many questions were swirling in his head, beginning from why you knew the way to here to how you opened an entrance into a stone. 

You pulled him into the little hole while the entrance closed itself like it never existed. 

The walls were completely black. It appeared like an endless black hole. 

"Don't tell anyone about this", threatened you, closing your eyes to concentrate.

"DON'T GET TOO AHEAD OF YOURSELF AND THINK I WOULD EVER WASTE A WORD ABOUT YOU"

Your spikes started to move on their own, the clear sound of crystal hitting crystal echoed through the cave, creating a beautiful harmony. 

The longer the cacophony continued, the black crystals that had been hit started to erupt light, lighting the once completely dark cave up. 

The cave was bigger than a normal one yet smaller than a house. The walls were all made of black crystal-like material, the lights being spikes that were hanging down from the ceiling. 

"Don't question anything. We'll use this as a temporary shelter", said you while you walked to the small lake at the end of it.

"Strange..."

He could hear you whisper before you did what you had to do. 

His eyes looked around. There weren't many things in there. A futon, a pillow and a blanket were stuffed into a corner. Everything else seemed to be made out of spikes, including the walls, the ground, the light, the little abandoned toys that were lying around the floor. Some empty cans of food could be found in a corner while some expired cans were stacked next to the empty ones.
