"Why do you live here in such a place of loneliness?"
"Darkness is far too dull for a man like yourself!"
"I can go back home!"
"Fine, sir Bakugou of the forest, I shall follow your command!"
"Bakugou…"
"Bakugou?"
"Bakugou!"
"Get out of my head! Ahh!"
Crash! The loud sound of a vase breaking against a wall filled the messy guest room, startling the air and tight environment. Pieces of ceramic and glass jumped towards every direction possible.
Bakugou grabbed on to his hair, pulling at it as if it were to cause any relief in his thoughts. His clothes were soaked in sweat, his hair a mess and his under-eyes prominent. The events from the day before haunted him so, that he thought that if he slept the vivid dreams would drive him mad.
It was the most unsettling event he had ever faced in his life.
That maid... That damn girl and her foolish golden eyes! Why does she haunt me so?!
The way she seemed so helpless and shocked when their gazes met on the middle ground, the same scene in the ballroom but with a more comfortable feeling. The way she ran away from him...
Ran away from me... She had ran away from me once before!
Images of a dark forest, a lost witch with a white dress, the tree of a thousand hands... the cries of help in his head.
"The name... That wreckles witch's name..." Bakugou stopped in front of a mirror, grasping something invisible and extending it into the air. The faint glimmer of gold resembling in his mind. "My mother's necklace... I had given it to that witch in the forest!"
He thought of it more, connecting small pieces that slowly faded in and out of his memory. A small plan eventually formed in his head.
"I have to find that little scoundrel now!"
As dawn rose from the horizon, every servant awoke to another new day full of tasks.
And like the day before, the crowd of maids swarmed the grounds like flies, getting in their uniforms and straight faces for the Lady with the whip. But just like the day before, one maid sat in a corner, hand around a pendant in her chest, her eyes swollen from the tears that once streamed down her face...
It was pure torture seeing the frustrated face of the man she saved once, now in the hands of confusion and evil, over and over again in her mind.
It is all my fault... had I wished upon a star instead of that tree may our lives have been right... But now we suffer the consequences of my naivety.
The now powerless witch gazed at the same broken window, her mind far away from where she sat. She couldn't believe the drastic turn her life had made: From a simple witch in a cabin, praised for her kindness and position as daughter of the grand witch, to a human runaway, labeled as evil by those who she once thought her friends.
Her home: gone.
Her parents: Lost in the rubble of doubt.
And Bakugou… As much as she tried to keep herself away from him, fate played her a terrible game, reminding her of everything.
But she had to keep on moving. She had to find the other piece still intact: Her bravery.
She had to find her parents and save them from the grasp of her curse. She knew that it was possible. She would start all over again, somewhere far away from that place with her parents.
So, Uraraka harshly wiped the tears from her eyes and suppressed the hunger that attacked her insides, reminding herself that she would find a way to satisfy it later on.
With the little energy she had, the girl set out to follow another day of acting out a role she wasn't meant to play.
One tray after another was given to Uraraka throughout the day, while she tried to get any other clues that could lead her to her parents in each room that she was allowed to enter. It was way more exhausting than she thought.
Everything was technichally decorated the same, nothing personal or interesting hanged on the walls or over furniture, leaving very little to search for.
She was starting to give up.
But, there was one room she hadn't fully checked. The room guarded by still statues and the woman with snow white hair. Endeavor's bedroom.
How can I enter such a place after what I witnessed? That place still haunts my mind like a nightmare and yet... it might be my only choice.
As she delivered lunch to another room, Uraraka paced the halls a little slower, going through a balcony with a view of a territory she had never seen before. A large land with unburied dirt full of shoeprints with various seats and unsharpened swords that were for practice. The girl could clearly decipher that it was the training grounds.
What she couldn't decipher in that instant was the two figures who were on them. If It hadn't been for that peculiar shade of hair and the strong feminine physique at it's side, she wouldn't have identified who stood.
Like every time Uraraka had seen the general, a shiver ran down her spine, something about that girl was always unnerving. In the general's hand was a mock sword, waving it around and placing it in positions Uraraka didn't understand. On one of the seats was the heir, laying down flat on his back with a book covering his face, his body covered in casual Victorian clothes. The heir looked as if he was... asleep?
The maid watched them closely, seeing how everytime the general striked an imaginary enemy her eyes would dart towards the sleeping prince. Each time she would look more and more intensefully at the heir.
It was a very peculiar attitude, Uraraka thought. She had only seen the General keep her composure in professional circumstances... and change slightly whenever the heir was around.
Could it be?
Suddenly, the general placed her sword gently on the ground, as if to not make noise, and approached the sleeping figure of the heir.
Momo's eyes scanned Todoroki, to see if he was out of his sleep, whispering something to watch for any reaction. When non was made, the general kneeled besides the boy, her gaze still over his face, and lifting the book.
Then her lips met his cheek.
Uraraka's eyes widened, she never expected such an action from a cold woman.
"Oh my-!" The maid covered her mouth, realizing how loud she had been. Her fear grew when the general turned around and almost caught her gaze, but the maid hid quickly.
"Who goes there?!" Momo questioned into the echoing space, receiving no answer. As her suspicion heightened, she grabbed the sword she had placed on the floor and slowly approached the doors that led to the training grounds.
When Uraraka heard the close steps she backed away and went back from where she came.
The sunlight hit the pillars from the long balcony, creating distinctive shadows on the ground. The maid tried to keep her calm whenever she saw any strange figure on the ground. Maybe it was panic or fear, but soon her head started to spin.
On the way towards the entrance that led to the inside of the mansion, Uraraka's vision turned blurry making her fall. Before she could fall, though, a strong hand held her by her arm, pulling her towards a flesh-like wall.
"Huh?" Uraraka tried to regain her focus and looked at the material in front of her: red velvet silk.
Her breath faltered. "No..."
"Why not?" The deep husky voice spoke. "Afraid the beast could eat you alive?"
Uraraka's gaze went upward, meeting the red orbes that haunted her mind. She backed away quickly, trying to keep her balance and composure. "Baku- I mean, Sir Bakugou!... I uh..." her face shifted quickly. "D-do you need anything?"
Bakugou stared at the maid with a wide smirk, noticing the nervousness in the girl. "I need many questions answered... and you will explain them all to me, Uraraka…"
The maid stepped back once more. "U-Uraraka? M-my name is Uravity, Sir Bakugou?"
The right shine of sunlight hit something bright in the maids neck. At this, the beast approached the maid at a rapid pace, leaving no time to think for the maid. Without another notice, Bakugou lifted up the girl and threw her over his shoulder like a ragdoll.
"Wha- Let me go!" Uraraka kicked and punched, but nothing stopped the beast from carrying her.
"Shut it! I won't let you fool me you little witch!"
The maid kept fighting, watching as they went down corridors and empty halls. "I'm not a witch! I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Mhm yeah right!"
Suddenly, Uraraka found the light from the outside disappearing at the beast's feet, replaced with the darkness of a room. "Where are you taking me?!'
Before she could complain anymore, the beast dropped her to the ground on her feet, closing a door behind them. Even so, the maid ran to the door trying to open it desperately but not being able to focus in the dark.
Her breaths were rapid. She felt like she was about to faint.
"Sir Bakugou I don't understand-
Bakugou pushed the girl against the wall besides the door and avoided her escape by placing his arms on each sides. "Stop with the pleasantries! We are closer than that and you know it!"
Uraraka's eyes watered. "Please let me go..."
"No! Not until you get out of my head!" Bakugou punched the wall besides Uraraka. "Until you get out of my head..."
The maid stared frightened at the sudden reaction from the beast. The tears streamed down her face like raindrops on a glass, glistening in the dark. "B-Bakugou?"
"How did it come to this, Uraraka?"
Uraraka didn't answer.
"How did we both end up far away from our own homes? How did I end up being the 'savior' of a town with people who despised me? How did you end up being a maid...?"
The maid kept her silence, suppressing the sobs in her throat. The beast grew frustrated.
"Tell me Uraraka!"
Her teary gaze fell upon the floor beneath them. "I-it can't be explained... it will cause greater fury than the one you possess right now..."
"I don't care! Tell me-" the beast's face changed from madness to comprehension as one more thing struck him. "The fire... the one I saved your parents from, you left me when that mob surrounded me! And the tree..."
Uraraka couldn't hold the pain any longer and let herself sob loudly.
The beast kept questioning with fear in his eyes. "Uraraka… What did you sacrifice?"
"B-Bakugou Please-"
He shook her by the shoulders. "What did you sacrifice?!"
Uraraka looked deep into Bakugou's eyes, the golden rims shining bright, trying to control her emotions. "My happiness... and my p-powers..."
The beast backed away, letting the maid free of his grasp and staring at her with a horrified face. "Uraraka, what were you-?"
"I did it because I wanted the best for you! To save you from the grasp of those people! To grant you the life that you deserve!" The words came out like a heavy sigh of relief, the grieving she once bore going down her cheeks. "I-I'm so sorry Bakugou…"
A guilty feeling struck Bakugou's chest at the sight of the girl crying. "Uraraka…"
Slowly, the beast approached the crying maid and placed his arms around her, trying to bring as much comfort as he could muster. He wasn't the type to console someone in emotional need, but in his heart the girl seemed to have a special place. Uraraka gave in to him, letting herself go in his arms.
She continued sobbing. "I did not want the things of now to be happening to us... I did not want you to be confused in this world... I did not want my parents to get lost..."
Bakugou, backed away slightly, speaking in the most gentle voice Uraraka had heard. "That's why you are here? For your lost parents?"
The maid laid her head on the beast's chest. "Yes... After wishing upon the tree I had to hide away in the cave, leaving you and my parents behind... When Kirishima decided to help me he found that you were ok, but there was no sign of my parents..."
She grasped his vest tightly and gritted her teeth. "When the dragon searched the grounds, he found a carriage carrying and pulling people away, bringing them to the mansion... He had also told me that a woman that looked like me gazed up at him, as if knowing his purpose, and smiled. That's when I knew that it was my mother, for only she could see through creatures of your stance..."
Bakugou thought back on the day of the fire, remembering the shocked gaze her mother had given him. "That's why she stared at me so strangely in front of the cabin... It was as if she knew me..."
"She always knew everything..."
The beast slowly placed a hand over the girl's hair, passing it lightly through each strand. Uraraka blushed slightly. "And if she is so great and powerful, why hasn't she escaped these grounds?
"I don't know Bakugou… I wonder about the same when I think of her and my father..."
They both sighed in unison, the young girl calming down. As if on cue, a bulb turned bright inside the beast's mind.
"I'll help you! I'll help you find your parents here and get them out! I'll help you reverse your wish!" He backed from the hug and looked at her unique eyes. "I'll help you be happy... for both of us to be happy..."
Uraraka's blush deepened. " Thank you Bakugou… I couldn't imagine such a thing from you when we met at the garden, your reaction was so peculiar..."
Bakugou laughed lightly. "And I couldn't imagine such a thing from myself either... But after our eyes met at the staff meeting, I knew I had to search for you..."
"Well, I don't think chasing a woman in the night was the right choice for searching, but here we are!" Uraraka scoffed, laughing at her own sarcastic comment.
"W-what?! I was desperate and in need for answers!"
They both laughed.
Suddenly, Bakugou noticed how beautiful the girl was, even in the darkness. Her golden rims shining bright, matching with the necklace around her neck.
"I see you've kept my necklace safe... Were you missing me as much as before?" his grin turned to a smirk as he stared deeply at Uraraka.
The maid's eyes were wide with embarrassment and tried to suppress it as much as she could. "N-No it was just a... Just a-"
"lucky charm?"
"Y-Yeah, lucky charm!"
The beast came closer to the maid, his hands going towards her waist. "I see... so if the necklace belongs to me and you carry it as your lucky charm... Does it mean that I am your lucky charm?"
Uraraka's blush heightened. "I d-didn't say that!"
Once his hands reached the back of the small girl, he pulled her close to his warm body, staring down at her and his gaze shinning with interest. "You didn't have to... It was all explained by your body."
The maid tried to look away, but found that she didn't have the energy to do so and fell deep into the red gaze's trance. "I w-wont answer that..."
Noses touched in the slightest, while hushed breaths lingered over each pair of lips. The line of desire and tension was pulling them closer and closer, and they couldn't find their way out.
"Well, could you give me the answer to why my heart beats fast everytime I see you?"
Uraraka suppressed the small grin that threatened to show on her lips. "Maybe it is a fantasy... or just a dream?"
"Then how about we make it come true?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, their lips collided, forming one perfect piece. At first Uraraka found herself surprised by the beast's action, then she slowly let herself give in, enjoying every bit of skin. Her arms wrapped around Bakugou's lower back, feeling it as well.
Bakugou's hands went lower and lower while they kissed, reaching something full of sweet flesh and squeezing it. At the feeling, Uraraka backed from the kiss and looked embarrassingly at Bakugou.
"Bakugou?!"
He smirked. "Don't deny that you loved it, Uraraka…"
"I..." she looked away. "Fine I did... Now let us return to what was started."
"So the little witch isn't so regal as she seems..." the beast smirked wider.
Their lips met again. Hands going down trails of covered skin and flesh that had never been explored before. While Bakugou played with her bottom, Uraraka traced her hands up his back, feeling every muscle.
The beast backed away from the kiss, a trail of saliva glistening in the dark. He stared at the girl with lustful eyes, feeling things he had never felt before. Desires he had never desired before...
Suddenly, Bakugou lifted the girl like if she were air and carried her to his guest bed, laying her down on the soft mattress. Soon after, the beast climbed on top, placing his knees between her legs and taking off his velvet jacket.
Uraraka lay stranded, hypnotized by the image of the strong beast and wanting more than ever before. It was as if an alter ego had unleashed from within her, controlling her elegance and tearing it in front of the eyes of the beast.
Once he was through with his shirt and vest, Bakugou proceeded to return hovering over Uraraka, letting his animal instincts in control.
His voice was huskier than before. "It seems that you weren't actually afraid of the beast eating you..."
It was Uraraka's turn to smirk. "No, because I wanted him to devour me..."
A flash of surprise adorned Bakugou's face, leaving quickly. His hands traveled to the maid's collar, slowly unbuttoning the white buttons from the black uniform. "You know.. I really like seeing you in this... It makes you look astonishing..."
Uraraka's smirk faltered for a nervous grin, not expecting the compliment. "T-thank you..."
Bakugou nodded as a reply and kept unbuttoning. When his hand reached the last button that could unleash the maid's bossom from it's trap, the girl grabbed his hand and made him halt on his way.
"Uraraka? What's wrong?"
"I..." Uraraka looked away and murmured. "I don't have something to hold them on..."
Bakugou looked at her strange. "What did you say?"
She murmured again a little louder. "I don't have something that can hold them in place..."
He still acted confused. "What?"
The girl grew tired. "I don't have my undergarments- Bakugou?!"
Before she could even finish her sentence, the last button was taken out, unleashing her breasts from the tight uniform. Quickly, the beast grabbed one breast, while placing the nipple of the other in his mouth.
Uraraka let out a moan of surprise. "What are you-?"
He spoke with the flesh in his mouth. "Just let me do my job..."
He continued playing with the nub, making Uraraka feel shivers where she had never felt before. She moaned slightly in confusion, unsure on how to control the pleasure that rose in her body.
Uraraka wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer to her core. The beast groaned in delight, backing away from the flesh and going back up to the girl's lips, ravishing them like candy.
He parted from the kiss and stared at the girl, contemplating every feature on her face and trying to suppress the desperate need in his groin.
Bakugou sighed in delight. "Uraraka I have to tell you something. Something that I wanted to say once we could settle down in the town..."
Uraraka stared curiously into his eyes. "Yes?"
The beast looked away before returning her gaze. "Uraraka I L-"
"Sir Bakugou?" A cold voice spoke from the closed door.
The pair that lay entwined in their embrace, looked horrified at the wooden door, unsure of what to do.
The maid whispered in fear. "Oh no... What do we do?"
"Stay quiet..." Bakugou raised his brow and questioned at the door. "What do you need general?"
"Oh so you are in the room... Sir Todoroki requires your presence!"
The pair looked at each other with confusion, but kept their calm.
"Whatever that boy-prince needs I'll attend them later! I'm not feeling so good!"
"Do you need assistance-?"
"No! Let me be general!"
There was a momentary silence, then filled with the air of suspicion. "Ok, Sir Bakugou. I'll let you rest..."
Pointy steps were heard vanishing in the distance. The couple let out a sigh of relief.
"Geez, that woman appears in unnecessary moments!" Bakugou complained, making Uraraka laugh with relativity.
"I understand exactly what you mean, Sir Bakugou!"
They both laughed again.
Uraraka fixed her uniform, putting it back in it's place, and sighing. "I must leave your quarters... That woman will definitely come back to search for you as her demeanor seems demanding."
Bakugou smiled lightly and got up from straddling the maid, watching as she put everything back together. "She will..."
Uraraka noticed his wondering gaze and blushed. "You seem like a child hungry for his mother's milk!"
The beast blushed embarrassingly in return. "I am all but a child!"
The maid laughed. She approached the other side of the bed with a slow pace, stopping in front of Bakugou and smiling. "Thank you..."
"For what?"
"For the promise you have made... I know it won't be easy, but I'll do my best to look for other clues. And so we will find our way out."
Bakugou smiled. "It makes me happy that you believe in me, Uraraka. I think that you may be the only one... And yes, I will keep my promise, for your parents... and for you."
Uraraka shared the beast's smile. When she placed the last button on her uniform, she approached the door to leave but was held back by a strong hand. "Hmm?"
"You can't go."
"Wha-?"
"Not without being dismissed with a kiss..." The beast placed his lips lightly on the maid's.
When they separated, Uraraka blushed. "You used my phrase against me! I thought you had forgotten!"
"Why would I?"
"I- You- Ugh I need to go!" The girl made way and opened the door slightly, looking back at Bakugou and smiling. "Shall we meet again whenever there is a chance?"
"We need to, round-face." He grasped at her hand. "The closest might be the masquerade, so be there and we shall speak again."
"Fine, I will do my best..." She smiled. "And I'll keep this necklace safe."
"I know you will... Now go and keep your pretense."
Uraraka smiled sweetly and let go of Bakugou's hand gently, already missing his warmth. Once she closed the door, she placed a hand over her lips, unable to believe what had happened. Her legs were trembling with need, but dismissed it with the new duties to attend.
She fixed her hair from the messy way it had gotten and paced slowly down the hall, still thinking back on her scene with the beast. Her trance was so deep that she hadn't realized the piece of black hair that peeked from behind a wall.
Suddenly, the maid was pulled against a wall by her neck, unable to scream for help. "Agh!"
Her head had been placed harshly and her sight was blurry with the sudden impact, but she was able to catch two cold dark eyes staring back at her. "Wha-?"
"So you are not only a maid it seems..."
"General?!"
The General glared at the young maiden in disguise. "You are also the lover of our guest... And you will tell me the purpose of your presence in our grounds!"
Uraraka grasped on tightly to the general's hand and closed her eyes.
Oh no...
