DEKU
Everything changed when I started middle school. Scratch that. It changed the moment when my quirk didn't show any signs of forming. It changed when the other kids mocked me. It changed when my strong friend distance himself from me. It changed when my mother cried from the bruises she saw on me. It changed when I wasn't smiling anymore. Everything was distant from me.
Now, middle school comes, and my strong friend completely payed no mind to me. He wasn't the Kaachan that would play with me when we were kids. He just wasn't anymore, but I still cared for him. I was jealous of the others who could stand beside him, but I was jealous of him. He became unreachable, and I admire that, but at the same time, I hated it because he was so far away. Graduation day came so quickly, and it was the furthest I felt from him.
He was gonna go to a great hero school where I can't reach him. Where I wouldn't be able to see him anymore. I would miss the moments when I could glance at him but now its different. Something in me twists and twist, but I was still holding on until today. I'm in a dark room tied up with injuries that would turn black and purple.
I feel so sick and I was in so much pain. My heart hurt so much.
I froze at the different voice from the bastard that usually tortures me.
"how are you feeling"?
I looked up at the man, but I couldn't even see anything.
I looked back down and sat in silence.
"good I'm glad that you are feeling well then. I'll just brief you on what will happen to you and then an option. Now shall we get started"?
I'm still sitting there in silence waiting for him to continue, but he doesn't. So, I merely looked up to him, but I again couldn't see him.
"good boy. Now, I will tell you your very soon future/present, and it involves quite a bit of violence. You are being tortured by a psychotic killer who has yet to reveal himself to the heroes as a villain, but there is no doubt that he is one. Anyways, you became his target because you are to his taste not that you haven't noticed. Just in case, if you were maybe still wondering why this was happening to you. You are still awake correct?"
I nodded not knowing if he could see me but I think he did or he might've just heard the shackles move to give him his answer.
"well, you got some good endurance then. Haha. Oops sorry for laughing didn't mean to laugh at your situation, but something about it made me laugh a bit. Back to where I was going. He is interested in you and he will do more than just hitting and take his pleasure to the next level if you get my meaning".
I took a sharp breath and something inside me twist again.
" Now your other option is to come with me and to let me take care of you but you have to abandon everything you were. That means no friends, family, or school etc".
I raised my head to the open air and said, " why would I do that? I mean the heroes will come to save me. I mean it might take some time for them but I know they are looking for me because my mom knows I haven't gone home. Besides, how do I know that you're not working with the psychotic killer who has a taste for me? I didn't see anything or heard anything when I was kidnapped and I still can't see anything".
He scoffs at me.
" Listen, kid, the man will come back and will do unspeakable things to you. so, far he only beats the crap out of you but he will start the next thing on his agenda and trust me. I've seen his next agenda in his journal. It's not something you wanna take a chance on for the heroes to come and might save you".
"What do you might! They will save me because they are heroes who always beat the bad guys".
He starts laughing then something that he says made me twist even more inside.
"Kid as funny as you sound. I'm gonna tell you another point of view of things in my eyes.
You are going to get hurt so bad to the point where if the heroes do come and save you. It will be too late because he will do everything that he wanted to do to you. That's actually the best scenario I could come up with but the way things are you're gonna die a painful death because the heroes have no idea where you are and you are not the first victim. This guy already had 5 kids your age or younger. So, let me tell you this. Its already been a month since you disappeared and he killed the other 5 kids but he decides to keep you because you're his favorite. At least that's what he wrote in his journal. Anyways, the only way your gonna get out of here is if you agree with me and get out of here or keep waiting".
At first, I had nothing to say because if he was working with the bad guy and was telling me all these things that his partner does without getting caught then I'm screwed but then a thought came to me.
"why don't you tell them that I'm here then? why do you keep silent"?
He was silent for a little a while and I smirked because I was strongly pleased with myself for winning this little argument and not getting tricked in his sick twisted game. My smirk went away as he started to reply.
"I just found you kid and I could let some heroes know that you are here but your in a place that's no where near civilization. The place you're in is a place where villains gather to get information or things that are hard to get your hands on. So, the main point is that I'm villian and I ain't no snitch.
Besides, I can't kill your abuser either because he does have some connections and I don't really wanna stick out my neck for a guy who won't provide me nothing but trouble. However, I feel just bad for you and so I'm gonna give you a once in lifetime deal. You come with me and serve me and I save you or you don't. So, are you gonna go with me or you gonna wait'?
Dread filled my very core being but I still have hope. I don't know why I'm clinging to hope still. Probably because I always wanted to be the hero like All Might or to stand beside Kaachan. I'm scared so very scared. I just wanna go home and forget everything that has ever happened and to keep trying to help others in any kind of way.
I choked up and I feel myself shaking in terror. I realized that he wasn't there anymore. I started laughing uncontrollably with tears of insanity reaching out from inside me. He wasn't ever there just another illusion I made from the long time I've been in here.
The familiar stomps and the creak that comes from the door made freeze. I see him for the first time. I know it's him from the footsteps and by the way, he opened the door but what made me sure and hopeless was his voice.
"Hey, little angel. It's going to be a special day".
Another twist and something snapped.
The day where it was mine turn change.
It's been a while since I've been here.
