MY world feels as if it's beginning to fold within itself as i slump myself harder against the damp wall behind me, hoping to ground me in some way.
i don't know how long i've been here but every moment that passes by when another droplet of water drops onto my forehead, the more i sink.
every time i close my eyes, my parents bodies being there for one second and gone the next flashes in my vision.
another droplet lands onto my nose and i mindlessly begin to pull at the shackles again as i've fallen into a pattern.
water hits my face, a reminder not to pass out, pull at the shackles around my wrists and ankles for a while, lay here in silence while trying to keep my eyes open until the next droplet hits my face. repeat.
my swollen left eye blinks and yet again another flash of their bodies on the screen.
there one moment, gone the next.
i killed them.
the lost puzzle pieces of what happened that night has slowly begun to fall back together.
it's because of my naivety that their gone.
i took them away from my siblings.
from me.
monster.
the voices are quiet on the edges of my mind. i find myself wishing for once that they were closer, that i could listen to their stories and distract myself from the gravity of the situation i'm in.
the words bakugou said to me before i was taken away to this nightmare have been flushed from my memory, replaced by the image of him flinching away from me.
if i was born without a quirk, they would still be alive.
if i was never born, they would still be alive.
my mind begins to spiral to horrific places, rooted in self doubt and guilt that's beginning to consume me.
i killed them.
"oh yes you did dear child."
his voice bounces against the hard shell of my brain, as the whispers are pushed further away from me. my body so beaten i can't even flinch when his voice startles me.
a dull light floods to the bottom of the stairs in front of me, a false sense of hope fills my battered body.
the man's slow footsteps echo against he stone walls, sending chills down my arms as the heat from my body hasn't been able to regenerate yet.
i find myself hoping that it never does.
"find your strength."
"he is close konomi."
find my strength?
"shigaraki said i'm not allowed to kill you. not yet," dabi's deep voice is one that will be burned into my mind for the rest of my life. one that will haunt me along with the things he has done to me.
his blue flamed finger pushing deep into my skin, creating disgusting burns that will never heal even if the scar becomes invisible.
i limply lift my head to meet his fiery gaze that i can see even in the dim light that shadows the front of him.
the echo of unlocking the metal cage like door rings through my ears.
a droplet hits my forehead this time and i begin to pattern over again, pulling at the shackles.
he takes a large stride to loom over my helpless form and crouches before me, a sinister smile creeping onto his face.
"you truly are a pathetic one aren't you?" he whispers, the warmth of his body makes my chilled skin shiver. i push myself further into the wall behind me with futile attempts at getting away from him.
he leans forward, growing closer to me. anxiety builds within me knowing what's coming next.
his fingers dance with the light of his blue flames that illuminates the dark burnt skin under his eyes and jaw, the putrid smell of burning flesh wafting from him.
i feel the heat of his flames grow closer to my legs as he stares directly into my eyes, no remorse floating through them no matter how deeply i look.
"why are you doing this." i flinch at the sound of my own voice, one that sounds like shigaraki's. his face turns sinister as he looks down at where his palm is growing closer to my shaking legs.
the fabric of my dark cargo pants now turned to nothing but shorts singed at the bottoms, fresh burn scars decorating bare thighs.
"can't a guy just have some fun?"
maybe this is what i deserve for my past.
my body goes limp at the thought, suddenly not fighting back at the advances of hurt the man attempts to use once again.
the warmth grows cold instantly as he freezes in place, i watch from my one unswollen eye as he slowly turns to meet my gaze with fury burning through his gaze. blue flames contort his features and play with the shadows to create a face that would force me to check under my bed before i fell asleep as a child.
horrifying.
his face begins to warp with confusion and anger.
"didn't you hear me? why can't i just have some fun?" his voice is lower this time, but i give him no satisfaction in my squirming.
i understand now.
"i don't care what you do to me anymore." i watch as his face contorts even more as his flames grow larger, now illuminating the finer details of the cell. my gaze drops for an instant at my pants, shrinking closer to the rest of my body as he flames grow more intense.
i give up.
on any chances of anyone coming for me.
of him coming for me.
"you little b-" his last word is cut off by an explosive rumbling above us, causing every droplet of water to fall like rain onto us. my eyes turn to the ceiling as bits of dust fall down with every thundering sound that goes off above us.
"WHERE IN THE HELL IS SHE!" i feel tears begin to prick my bottom lashes at the familiar sound of the voice.
bakugou, you found me.
