Small

(2) Nightmares

A/N: Coming back to you with another chapter!

The small girl was sound asleep on the car ride home, and to be honest, Aizawa thought she looked adorable. When they finally reached their destination, Aizawa gently got out of the car and carried Eri upstairs to their apartment.

As planned, Aizawa woke her up just long enough to help her brush her teeth and change into pajamas. She wore a cute pink one piece that would keep her warm while Aizawa's house was freezing. Shinso came out of his room just long enough to help Eri get ready for bed and tell her goodnight.

"If you need anything, and I mean anything, come to my room. It's located across from your room. Ok?" Aizawa said.

Eri nodded her head yes before drifting into a restless sleep.

Aizawa then went to tell Shinso to take his sleeping meds and go to bed before heading off to his room to sleep himself.

Everything was black. Eri felt her arms with scars littered on them covered with bandages again. She laid on the floor as light shone through the room, and she pretended to play with the toys that he got her. She didn't actually care about them, but she had to please him or else it would be worse. The door swung open.

"Hello, Eri. Are you ready?" He asked her in a mischievous tone.

She whimpered in response, and he grabbed her and threw her to his assistant. Now it's really time for the fun to begin. She was swiftly carried away to the room where nightmares lay. Where she was killed over and over again to help those horrible people. She didn't want to hurt anyone, really, but she would rather take the suffering than Overhaul to take it out on someone else.

Ca-chink, the medal hit the tray, and she winced at the sound.

R-r-rip, the sound of her skin being sliced.

It hurt, but she couldn't cry. Someone else would get hurt if she cried.

D-d-drip, the blood pouring out onto the floor.

No one had helped her before, so why would they now?

She remembered the boy she met on the street, and he was kind. Maybe he will help her. She wasn't sure, but all she knew is that she would have to get out of there.

He took her from the leather chair and bandaged her arm. She tried as hard as she could, she really did, but she shed a few tears.

This caused Overhaul to growl and curse. He was mad, scary when mad at that. She knew that she would be thrown in the darkroom once more.

He finished bandaging her arms and handed her to his assistant, who then walked back to her room, pain-filled eyes, and threw her.

"No dinner for you!" He smirked and closed the door. She was already extremely skinny, so this wasn't making matters any better.

She tried sleeping, but that failed because of a large crash heard outside. She then saw a face with bright blue eyes peering at her through the wall.

She flinched when he put his arms out towards her and she slowly retreated.

Overhaul entered the room with a smirk and sliced the man's head open with a knife, then he took me. He ran outside and I saw dead bodies lining the walls.

He stopped.

The kind boy, he was dead. Slashed through the heart with a knife.

"Looks like your little friend got what he deserved," He said to her.

Eri sat up in bed and touched her tear-stained face. A nightmare. She used to get them all the time with Overhaul.

She looked beside her at a clock, 1:30 am.

She quietly got up from her bed and opened the window thinking the fresh air would pick her up and out of her nightmares.

She hummed quietly while she sat on the ledge of the window sill (as she had nothing else to do), but that was before she heard footsteps. She still had a tear-stained face and her eyes were puffy.
