The Shadow child (BNHA 2nd gen)

The Quirk

Akumu pov:

I didn't realize it at the time but all those trips to the hospital were because my father was a horrible person, who only got worse when he got drunk. The night of my first experience with a villain my father came home after working for about 12 hours. He woke me up by closing the front door rather loudly. I got up and walked out to say hi and ask about his day fighting villains. When I got out of my room and into the living room I saw that my dad had huge bags under his eyes, bloodshot eyes, and stubble that was only slightly too long. I walked up to ask him how his day was "Hi dad, how wa-" "I want a beer, go get me one." He said roughly not even letting me finish my question. Not really understanding addiction or alcoholism back then I got him his beer. As soon as I came back he ripped the bottle out of my hands, pulled the bottle cap off, and chugged it then yelled for another one. this cycle repeated about 9 more times with more and more aggression until I finally said "Papa I don't think you should have any more," He looked at me and I could see his eyes flash red for a moment before he sat up in his chair and slapped me, hard. When I repeated my opinion about him stopping, "I am happy you are standing up for yourself but you need to understand that if I ask for something you go get it." with a soft tone getting meaner the longer he spoke ending in complete anger. "Can I go to bed?" I asked trying to change the subject. "No, you have three chances to go get me another beer, got it?" he asked refusing to give me any way of escaping as mom was down the hall behind him. "I'm not getting you anymore," I said trying to hide the fact that I was terrified of my father at this point. He punched my stomach causing me to curl up on the floor and said, "That's one, try again." I got up with tears in my eyes and still trying to let mom sleep, looked him right in the eyes and just said said "No" I could feel my memories become fuzzier the longer I looked at his eyes. He picked up one of his empty bottles raised it up a bit and brought it down on the back of my neck. I crumpled to the ground and felt him kicking me in the ribs. I rolled over in order to cover my injured ribs. "And that's two chances," Dad walked in front me and I forced my left eye to open and it looked like dad's shadow was standing still while dad was swaying. "Get up you little prick," I genuinely didn't know why dad couldn't just let me leave and get his own beer. I wondered if he forgot where it was. Turns out he had over-used his memory wipe quirk and had completely forgotten where he had stashed it. I stood up, ran into the kitchen and puked into the trash. When I walked out of the kitchen with no beer in my hand dad became even more frustrated with me and told me "This is your last chance kid, go get me a beer" "I don't want to" I said about to break down. "Have it your way," With that, he walked down the hall into Akarui's room, grabbed my asleep sibling by the back of his shirt, walked past me into the kitchen, and finally grabbed a knife.

He walked in front of me and stared into my eyes and slid the knife across my brother's fingers, which woke Akarui up and he started screaming and squirming trying to escape dad's grip. I couldn't move until I saw Akarui's face. His face was going purple and I noticed how much his shirt was digging into his throat. I looked at his hand and there was barely any blood, the cut wasn't deep at all. Dad saw what I was looking at and slices through the skin of Akarui's palm. By this time Akarui is unconscious so Dad throws him at me and luckily I catch him. I hear him breathe very roughly but he is breathing. When I walk back into the living room Dad is back in his chair and is spinning the knife around his fingers. he looked up and sees me trying to sneak into the hall to get mom. right as I get to the beginning of the hall I heard a slight woosh and felt my hand light up in pain as if on fire. I looked down and my hand was stuck to the wall by a knife and has started to bleed badly. My body wanted to completely shut down but I wouldn't let it. My father got up and walked into the kitchen; he walked out with Akarui in his arms and he is smiling.

Thanks for reading the second chapter the third will be published tomorrow.
