Act Two: The Stealing of The Bride

Previously...
"LISTEN UP! I am crown Prince Katsuki Bakugo of the Kingdom of Rianka! We have this place surrounded and one of my friends here canceled out everyone's magik so don't try fighting back." Smoke still filled the room and was clearing away slowly, everyone was still, as stone, paralyzed in fear and anticipation of what would come next...
"So without further ado boys, Lets commence, THE STEALING OF THE BRIDE!"

Flashback—

Seven year old (y/n) was sitting with the other girls and boys in a small circle around the fire place, while Kio sat in a rocking chair, mending one of the queens dresses.

"Tell us another story Miss Kio!" One of the young girls shouted, excitement in her eyes. The little girl tugged on the hem of Kio's dress. The other children chorused their agreement.

"Fine! One more and then time for bed." She stated sternly. The children nodded vigorously and stayed quiet. Trying to stay still though jumpy with anticipation for the next story.

Kio settles into her rocking chair before beginning to speak. (Y/n) sat next to Todoroki who had snuck away to listen to Kio's stories. This was an often occurrence since they became friends.

"In the not so far away kingdom of Rianka" Kio began.
"There lies a tradition, a horrible and cruel one!" She said in a low whisper shout. The children giggled with excitement.

"All of the boys when they come to a certain age, gather together and raid one of the neighboring kingdoms" small gasps could be heard from the children

(Y/n) and Todoroki were on the edge of their seats. (Well floor? Who knows lol.)

"But they weren't looking for just anything, not diamonds or jewels or gold." Kio shook her head.
"No no something far more valuable, you see this particular Riankan Tradition is called..." she paused, knowing the children would get riled up.

"What?!"

"What's it called?!"

"Cmon Miss Kio please!!"

Kio laughed lightly.
"Fine fine I'll tell you, it was called... The Stealing of the Bride!!" She exclaimed, the girls and boys giggled and gasped at the fact.

"They raid the kingdom for the most beautiful ladies and kidnap them, and they are forced into marriage! And sadly they are usually never from again, people are too afraid of Rianka to go and save them..." Kio looked down, seeming to be reminiscing about something.... her head snapped back up

"S-so that's why you little ladies must always be carefull, modest, and make sure you are protected!" She stated firmly

"Ahh! So scary Miss Kio!"

"I don't wanna be kidnapped!"

"That can't be true!"

Sounds of the little children echoed by the fire, (Y/n) included. Kio just chuckled. Todorki spoke up.

"Don't worry (y/n) I'll always protect you!" He exclaimed standing up, pumping his little fist in the air.
"And when I'm King, I promise I'll make you my bride!" The dual haired boy finished pointing at the little (h/t) haired girl beside him. His childish eyes glimmered with determination and, though he didn't know it then, love.

Why can't things just go back to the way they were....

End of flashback—

Chaos ensued, smoke stilled filled the room somehow so it was very hard to see, the screams of men and women echoed throughout the hall. (Y/n) began to panic, they were trapped with no way out.

She scrambled to her feet, adrenaline distracting her from any injuries she might have sustained. She began to run frantically in hope of an exit.

Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her wrist. She panicked and tried to rip away from their grasp.

"(Y/n)! It's just me. It's Shouto!" The dual haired prince whisper yelled. She felt a brief wave of calm that washed over her. Though panic still evident in her (e/c) eyes.

"Sho- your highness!" (Y/n) caught herself.

"I'll protect you."

That was all he said before Shouto ran with her wrist still in his hand, they were running blind at this point.

But his words rang in (y/n)'s head... they sounded to familiar, yet so foreign at the same time. Little did she know that the Dual haired prince was just as conflicted as her, but protecting (y/n) felt right... he had to, no matter the cost.

They, came in sight of one of the large metal doors, and (y/n) held her breath, they were almost out, they would be fine.
"We're gonna make it" he said, seeming to try and convince himself.

He spoke too soon.

A figure jumped in front of them and, put their hand out, an explosion erupted from it and blew them apart. (Y/n) felt her hand be ripped out of Shoutos, she hit against the wall hard, with a thud. She heard some bones crack.

She slumped down to the floor, her vision blurry, her head throbbed in pain.

(Y/N)?! (Y/N)! Where are you!" (Y/n) could hear Shouto shouting over the screams that still ensued. Though she couldn't see him because the smoke still held heavy.

"Sh-Shouto..." she tried to call out to him but her voice was weak, barely above a whisper and her body refused to move. Her muscles screamed at any movement she dared make.

She heard a low chuckle from above her, definitely male. She could fairly make out the figure of male crouching down in front of her. She wanted so badly to scream, to run away, to do something. But she couldn't, she sustained to many injuries in the blast and had been rendered immobile...she hoped Shouto would be okay...she could faintly hear him calling out for her still...

She was pulled from her thoughts when the male in front of her pulled her head up by her hair, forcing her to look at him. She whimpered in pain. She gazed up at her abuser, her vision was still blurry. The only thing she could make out was a pair of bright crimson eyes as fear raked through her body.

"Yes, you'll do nicely" he said lowly

And her world went black.
