That Halloween Night (Vampire Deku - BNHA) DISCONTINUED

Chapter 2: Costume Battle

"HA! I AM HERE!" a loud strong voice was announced through the speakers. "The young ones who want to compete on our costume battle please come together on the center of the party and go on top of the stage." The audio then cut off.

"Cmon Mydoria. Let's get you to the stage." Uraraka said. He grabbed Deku's hand and led him to the group of people gathering already there.

But suddenly, Uraraka didn't feel his hand anymore. She turned around to find the boy keeping himself out of the group of people. He was trembeling and keeping his hands up to his chest. "What's wrong?" Uraraka said. The boy hesitated. He opened his mouth, clearly trying to say something. But he closed it and turned to run away. "Wait!" the kind witch said. But to no use, as the boy kept running and his trail was lost to the shadows of the nearby forest. "Uraraka?" Momo said. "Where's Mydoria?" she asked. "He... ran away." Uraraka hesitated. "Well, he was bound to. We just dragged a random boy into a contest without asking." Momo replied. "I-I guess so" Uraraka said. Momo and Uraraka then left and joined the other girls to see Bakugou, Kirishima and other few people already there on the stage ready to win or loose.

The contest was short but effective. The contestants were made to walk down the sage and showcast their costumes, say a few things about them (were they handmade, inspiration etc.) and explain why they chose to dress up that way. Kirishima explained his amazing mantra about why women are also manly, Kaminari explained how it would be cool to have electrical powers as Pikachu and Bakugou said that werewolfs are strong and could win any fight.

The judges, Aizawa, All Might and Midnight, had till the rest of the party to discuss a winner. The contestants were then asked to leave and enjoy the rest of the night.

Back outside of the party boundaries, Deku was yet again sitting on the same tree he was before looking towards the light coming from the party. "Why did I run again?" he said under his breath. "I'm such a scaredy vampire". He then sat with his legs up to his chin and hid his head between them. "uuuurgh. Dad always told me to never talk to humans. ...That's why he left." he muffled. He scooted on the branch he sat on and lied down. He let his arms and legs fall by his sides. He turned his head to face the halloween party and slowly closed his eyes. "I've never should've gone there.".

But just because of that curiosity, just that bit of happiness, just that bit of a normal life, with normal friends, a normal party. Maybe just because he came into that party, he might be able to have a normal life for once.

"I knew I was going to win." a bold voice said. "You always win man." another sulked. "Shut up weird pikachu!" the other yelled. Izuku slowly opened his eyes and turned on the branch he was sleeping to face the 3 boys comming his way. 

I have to hide.

He quickly got up and climbed up a few more branches hidding himself behind some left over leaves from the tree. He stayed low, paying attention to the group. 

The group arrived at the same tree that Izuku was at and stopped. 

"Well, I think I might stay here a while. You can head off back to UA." the werewolf said. "You sure man? It's getting cold." the red haired one said. "I do whatever I want shitty hair!" he barked. "I want to sleep. So I'll go. You comming Kirishima?" the pikachu said already turning around with his hands on the back of his head. The red hair looked at the boy who is being left behind, waved, smiled and ran after the other who was already down the hill where the tree sat. The werewolf sat down and looked at his trophy. 

Izuku was still there. What was he going to do? He cannot go down with a boy sitting next to the tree! He still cannot do that and cannot control it. He started mumbling and mumbling about what to do. Quietly enough for the boy not to hear.
