Projection [ an Overhaul fanfic ]

-III-

The sound of leaves crunching in the alley way, echoed as Emiko ran. The more she ran, the farther the exit seemed. With a quick glance back, she saw him.

"N-No!!! Please stop!!—"
"Get back here NOW!"

Emiko had tried to scream but to no avail. Suddenly, a loud 'BANG' could be heard. She looked down towards the ground, and saw blood.

Then she put the pieces together. She had just been shot, but with what?!

"W-why...Please...no-"
"You disobeyed the rules...now you shall pay."

When Emiko looked into his golden honey colored eyes, she couldn't see anything. No projection.

'Is this the quirk erasing stuff?!'

The short lived moment came to an excruciatingly painful end. Emiko stares down the barrel of the gun and another 'BANG' and now-

"AHHHHH!!!!—"

Emiko shot up from the nightmare. These type of dreams seemed to be a recurring cycle for her. But when her senses came to, she glanced around the eerily dark room.

'This is not my room...'

When the realization hit her, she recalled the evening before. She was kidnapped.

By him.

She ran her fingers through her damp hair to try and calm her nerves. The feeling seems to make her stomach churn at the thought of him so close. The sound of a metal door and footsteps seemed to break the concentration Emiko had.

A small creak echoes as Overhaul opens Emiko's door. She averted her eyes from the door to her lap, as she hugged her legs closer to herself.

"Emiko...you know I've been watching you. You seem to be...of service around here. Care to join?"

She had no choice but to agree. She didn't want to be killed so soon to someone who's the reason she's scared now. What would he do to her? Would he kill her? Would he torture her?

"Y-yea...I'll join..Overhaul—"
