Are You Crying, Too?

A Villains birth

My mind was hazy. I had just woken up. Both my mind and body were extremely tired. My body was tied to a chair, and my captor stood before me, staring at me with pure boredom.  I tried to lift my head up, but my muscles were to weak to do so.

"So you're finally awake, Deku," Phthonus said as he let out a sigh, "I suppose it's time for another round, huh? Honestly, I'm getting bored of this."

He put the knife he was holding up to his mouth and licked some of my drying blood off of it. He looked me in my eyes, "I'm so tired of seeing you life flash before my mind. It's so annoying. Just looking at you know makes me want to vomit. That ugly mother of yours raised you to be such a crybaby. How did you ever become a hero, let alone number one?"

Phthonus rolled his eyes. He looked me up and down slowly.

"Now, what am I to do with you?" He pause before his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. He dropped the knife he was holding to clap his hands together. He then took my shoulders and shook them roughly. I watched as my blood dripped down his lips.

"Oh, I know! Why don't we turn the world precious hero into a villain. 'Deku' will soon be a name everyone fears. Even your lover boy will have no choice but to fear you!" I looked up at him, shocked. My eyes were as wide as they could be. 

"I'll play with your mind until you hate the world, Deku. Until you want to kill everyone that lives and breaths!" Phthonus laughed. It was like a child's laugh. Innocent, happy. He got down on his knees to reach my height. He then proceeded to bring his face a close as possible to mine. I could feel our noses touch and I could see the messy white hair connected to his head.

"Yes! Hahaha, YES! Villain Deku will be a name everyone knows! It will be in the history books forever!" He laughed yet again. He took his arms off of my shoulders and rapped them around my torso. He snuggled his head into my neck.

"I will make you mine, Deku. You will be my villain. You will work for me. We'll surpass what the league of villains did. We'll become worse then the best villains out there. With you, I will become the most powerful being their ever was." I could feel tears of happiness stray from his tear ducts to my shoulder.

"I'll finally be on top!  I won't have to watch as everyone rises higher in the world, while they leave me behind!" He backed away from me and looked into my eyes. He stared. I looked away from him, trying to keep him from seeing my memories. Phthonus just grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. I struggled, but was unable to break away from his grasp.

"I'll see what makes you tick! I'll see everything. And I'll do whatever it takes to make you mine, Deku! I don't care what it costs!"

I forced my eyes closed and shook my head as hard as I could. I can't let him turn me into a villain. I can't. Phthonus took his hand off of me. I then heard him pick up the knife he dropped earlier.

"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. I'm fine with either," He waited for a few seconds. I didn't budge. 

"I guess were doing this the hard way, then," He reached his hand to wiped away the tears. from.my face. Then suddenly, he ripped my left eyelid away from my eye. He then took the knife up to it and cut my eyelid off. I screamed and tried to move my head back, only for his to grab the back of my head. I heard him giggle.

"You look so cute, Deku. With all that blood poring out of your eye. Now, stop moving so I can do the other one," I didn't stop struggling.

"Kira!" Phthonus called, irritated. Kira came down to where ever I was, "Stop Deku from moving."

Kira then came behind me and held my head in place, allowing Phthonus to easily cut off my other eyelid. After finishing his job, Phthonus wiped the blood from my eyes. He then continued to search my memories, with Kira forcing me to look at Phthonus's glowing grey-white eyes.
All I could do was watch hopelessly with dry eyes as he searched for my weaknesses. All I could think of was the possibilities of what could happen to me. What would he do to me? If he learned all of my secrets, would he use them against me? If he found a way, would he blackmail me? Would he use Kachan as leverage? What would he do just to get me under control?

It didn't take long for Phthonus to finish examining my memories thoroughly. When he did, he stood up with a wide smile and told Kira to heal me. He left the room, a glint of determination glistening in his eyes.

"He's taking a liking to you. You better not take him away from me. His attention belongs to me," Kira said before he stabbed me in my family jewels. He walked away with a satisfied smile.
I looked down at my tattered hero costume. It was covered in my blood. 

All I have to remember is his name, right? If I remember that, then everything will be fine. Yeah... Everything... Will be fine. Just because he knows every little thing about me doesn't mean anything. He can't use anything against me. He can't. Every secret that I held close to me can't be used against me. I've got nothing I need to hide. I won't become a villain. I won't. I won't.... I won't... Right?

Kachan... Help me... Please.
