- "NOOO!" I screamed as blue bright flames covered the beautiful white house I used to call home. - "L- L- L-EAVE US A- A- A-LONE!" -

We were on the ground, surrounded by a mixture of grass and blood. Everything was blue, I could not distinguish any other color as the flames devoured everything they touched. A thin black hooded man was getting closer to my hounded parents and me. I couldn't distinguish his features underneath his hood, but I did notice he was carrying a scythe on his left hand. Even 6 years old I knew what his intentions were. I started crying and shivering; I wasn't able to hide the horror in my face.

-"Honey, are you okey? Can you move?" - My mother said calmly even though she was bleeding from a wound on her stomach.

I nodded. - "I- I- I can protect you! I- I- I- can f- f- fight..." - I said trembling while I got up from the floor in front of both of my parents and lighting my blue fire up with my tiny hands.

-"Darling, you are so brave"- My father said smiling, trying to hide the pain of his blooded hounds as I looked at him - "But this is our fight"- He got up from the floor and used his telekinetic quirk to push me out of the way in the exact moment that the hooded man was about to behead me.

-"Go, Hikari! RUN!"- My mother shouted. I didn't want to leave them; I couldn't go, no without them.

- "I'll take care of your mother! NOW GO!" - Dad said with a fake smile on his face. I knew he was lying ... I knew it ...

I took a couple steps back seeing how my father was trying to keep that terrifying man away, but getting more and more injuries from that guys scythe. I knew he wasn't gonna be able to keep him away for much longer ... but ... still ... I ran. I ran to the woods behind my house.

Pathetic ...

I kept running.

Useless ...

I kept running.

Weak ...

Suddenly I heard someone screaming at the distance. My mothers scream. I stopped running. All I could see was darkness. I wasn't able to look behind me, I was scared.

They are dead because of you ...

- "Shut up!" - I said to myself putting my both of my hands in my ears. - "You don't know that" -

You killed them ...

- "No!" - I cried.

Yes ... that man was looking for you ...

- "SHUT UP!" - I shouted.

I woke up screaming. Still lying in bed, shivering, I brought a hand to my face and noticed I had tears. I smiled and thought to myself:

"That nightmare. Again. Fuck, I have to keep it together ..."

I sat on the bed and looked around. I was in a mattress on a wooden the floor of an almost empty room. Behind me there was an enormous window showing Tokyo. I reached for a pack of Marlboro and a red lighter near me. I lighted the cigarette, still shaking, and looked at the clock: 6.25 AM. I took a deep breath, feeling my lungs with nicotine. Something about that made me feel more at ease.

"This is going to be a long day." I thought as a small cloud of smoke came out of my mouth.

Third Person POV

Happy chatter from students filled the UA's 3A classroom. The atmosphere was really light and fun. They have known each other for a year now but Hisakawa Hikari was the exception. She was new to the hero academy and actually didn't mind being the new girl. She was expecting no one would talked to her, but things didn't go that way.
