The sun rose up shining down on a brand new day, Satsuki rose her back off the bed, and gave a deep yawn, she threw the covers off her, then proceeded to the living room. She headed to the kitchen to grab a bowl and spoon, she poured in her favorite cereal, and heads to the living room to watch Saturday morning cartoons, but when she entered the living room she found her sister sleeping on the coach. She was still in her regular clothes trying to sit up right with the weight of head leaning to her right and snoring out loud, it seems that she didn't went to bed last night, and tried to stay up all night, but failed.
Satsuki sets her bowl down and shook her sister awake, "huh? Satsuki-chan? *yaaaaawn* what are doing up so late?" Tsuyu yawned, "uh... It's morning Tsu-chan," Tsuyu checked her phone and saw that it was 8:50 A.M. Tsuyu rubbed her eyes and stretched out her limbs, but her neck was killing her, she head towards her room letting her little sister use the T.V. After changing clothes Tsuyu checks her phone again, she'd recorded the call from last night onto her cell phone. She replayed it again and again, but still couldn't understand what the person on the other end was trying to say, but it sounded like a boy. After giving it a quick thought Tsuyu considered on calling a friend.
Leaving Samidare in charged Tsuyu told the two not to leave the house and if something strange happens, call her. Waiting at the train station Tsuyu hopes that if she understood what the message was it would make thing much clearer for her, the train finally came the people inside started stepping off, the sound of footsteps filled the air as everyone either got off the train or boarded it. However the person Tsuyu was waiting has arrived, "Ausi over here," called out a blonde girl with horns. After letting the crowd disperse on their own Tsuyu made her way towards her, "glade you can come, Tsunotori-chan," Tsuyu greeted, "hey that's what are friends for," Pony replied by giving her a hug which made Tsuyu feel a bit uncomfortable.
After meeting up they head to a small cafe to talk, "so Ausi, what's so important, that it made you bring us out here?" Pony wondered, Tsuyu digged into her bag for her phone, "I need to listen to this, I can't understand what this person is saying," Tsuyu asked. She sets the phone down, puts it on speaker, and press play, "[... I said I was sorry...]," after a moment a silence Tsuyu asked, "can you tell me what he said?"
"he said: I said I was sorry," Pony translated, "why is he apologising? did he hurt you?!" Pony raised her voice getting protective of her friend, "no, not exactly, he harmed a boy who was picking on my little sister," Tsuyu explained. Pony Immediately calms down, but was confused why THIS boy was apologising to her, but Tsuyu could hardly explain the situation that happened yesterday, she was actually getting on edge - *riiiing* Tsuyu's phone rang causing her heart to sink seeing that collar I.D was not responding.
Seeing the uneasy expression on Tsuyu's face Pony picked up and answered, "listen here prick, if you don't leave my friend alone right now I'm gonna kick your ass!" she threatened, but the other end only replied with this, "... *Huff*... *Puff*... *Huff*... *Puff*..." Deep breathing was all they could hear from the other end of the call, "are you just gonna-" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh!" Pony dropped the phone onto the table getting frighten by the sudden scream. It was so loud that it caught everybody in the cafe attention which made the owner mad, "hey! if your just gonna be screwing around in here, then get out," he demanded and the girls left without protest.
Once outside Tsuyu said she's sorry for getting her into trouble, but Pony said that there was no need, "I better get back home now, I can't leave my brother and sister alone too long," Tsuyu concluded, "alright Ausi, it was nice talking to you, and don't worry bout that creep who called, I think I scared him off," Pony reassured and they both parted ways.
Tsuyu walked through the door of her home and saw that the two weren't doing much, Samidare just watching the T.V and Satsuki drawing another picture of her and Caleb, she ignored the drawing for now, right now house work needs to be done.
She took out the garbage, vacuum the carpets, and swept the floor, other than that when night approached she made dinner and the kids went off to bed, and now Tsuyu can see what Satsuki has drawn. Walking into the living room she saw the piece of paper laying on the ground, she picked it up and saw that it's Satsuki and Caleb holding hands in the middle of the woods while a hole was cut out as the size of the kids was in the middle of the paper. She tried to contemplated what the hole was, she turned on the lights in the living room to get a better look, but as she did she saw that there was a second drawing on the other side.
She flipped it over and saw that it was and open field with a castle in the background with the kids coming out of the hole, and that's when Tsuyu figured what the hole was, "a portal?" she said to herself.
Cracking the door open to her sister's room Tsuyu saw that she was still awake, "Satsuki, are you asleep?" hearing her big sister coming in Satsuki pretend that she was asleep, "I know you're awake faker," Tsuyu told her. Satsuki pouted and Tsuyu sat beside her, "... You left this in the living room," Tsuyu held out the drawing and Satsuki took it back, "... Satsuki?" "yes?" "... Does Caleb have a quirk?" Tsuyu curiously asked, "yes," Satsuki answered bluntly, "so... What is it?" she continued, "... I don't know," "what'd you mean you don't know?" "he can move things with his head, but can also open doors," Satsuki answered her best. The thought ran through her head from that last part her sister said 'open doors' looking at the hole cut into the paper while flipping it side to side, "doors to where?" she thought to herself.
Cold. It's so cold. How did Tsuyu get out here? where is here? the last thing she remember that is locking the door, but everything between is just a blur, and she found herself treading through thick freezing snow that reached halfway up her shins.
RRRAAAAAAAAAAWW!
She can hear something in the distance, but the snow kept blowing in and blinding her, Tsuyu didn't even know if that was an animal, or a man stalking her, all she know is she's being chased after. She tried her hardest to run through the snow, she can't feel her feet anymore, but she can't stop now, she hear them all over screaming and wailing at her. Where are they. Tsuyu ran and ran until she fell over, she grabbed her numb foot, but saw in horror to what she tripped over, it's a man laying face first in the snow, his coat was torn and bloody, a giant hole on his back, and his eyes were lifeless.
Pulling herself up she kept running until she found herself standing on a dirt road, the screaming stopped, and Tsuyu looked around seeing tire tracks on the ground so she tried to pick which way to go, that's when she saw a faint light not too far. Tsuyu made her way to it and saw that it was a burning truck, she huddled up to it as close as she can without burning herself, but saw that it wasn't the only fire in the snowstorm. A trail of burning debris was lighting up a way, but to where? she dosen't know so she followed.
"Stay close to the fires. Stay close to the fires," Tsuyu repeated to herself, she needs to find someone, she needs to find help. Following the trail all Tsuyu can hear was the crunching of snow under her feet and the crackling of fire, until she stepped onto something hard and solid, Tsuyu looked down and to see she was standing on a big sign, so she crouched down and started brushing the snow off. Her hands are freezing, she can barely feel her fingers, but bared through it and saw that the sign was in English
"Welcome To Barrow Alaska, U.S.A."
Tsuyu could only recognize one word, or three letters 'U.S.A.' how did she get this far away from home? where is everyone?
aaaaaaahhh!
She looked up and saw a small town that was on fire, Tsuyu heard people faintly screaming, she dosen't know what's happening, where are the heroes to save them-
RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW!
Tsuyu was kicked to the ground and there she saw the most disturbed thing, a misshapen human figure, parts of his skin was torn in place that should be fatal, his jaws were unhinged, and his eyes were gauged out. He limbs were slender, he stood on his toes, and fingers were long razor sharp claws. Tsuyu laid there frozen in fear, this can't be real, this can't be real, the monster rose his hand and lashed down.
Tsuyu jumps out of her bed, her heart racing, her forehead was sweating, she frantically looked around, and to her relief she found herself in her room, it was all just a dream. She took deep heavy breaths seeing that she was back in reality, she wrapped her arms around herself, but felt a sharp sting on her left arm, she pulled her hand away, and saw that the blood covered the tips of her fingers. She got up from her bed and went to the bathroom, she locked the door, and saw in the mirror that she had a cut on her left arm.
She dressed her wound and hid her now ruined Pajamas that now has blood stains on the left sleeve and hole in the center, she looked out the window and saw the park in the distance, she needed to know.
Like yesterday Tsuyu left Samidare in charge and headed towards the park, upon arriving there the area was completely empty, but Tsuyu continued onward passed the playground, passed the path, and stopping right in front of the trees. The branches bobbed up and down and the leaves rustling in the wind, Tsuyu proceeded into the woods. She passed through the bushes and ducked under low hanging branches, she didn't know what she was looking.
She headed deeper and deeper into the woods until suddenly she found prints on the ground, but they weren't prints of shoes they were bare with the toes digging deep into the dirt, "so he is real," Tsuyu thought to herself. Following the prints closely, and she started to notice claw marks on trees, but failed to notice the hole she fell into, after gathering her bearings Tsuyu noticed that the hole wasn't natural, it's man-made. The hole was shaped into a rectangle and was deep as Satsuki was tall, one part of the ground was smoothed out into a circle to what Tsuyu can assume was where the boy slept.
However Tsuyu saw that in the walls of the hole, a skinny hole laying horizontally was dug into it to act like a bookshelf because Tsuyu saw that a note book was in it. She grabbed the book and opened it, as she expected it's written in English, she couldn't make sense of what the book was saying, so she decided to take the book with her, so she jumped out of the hole, and started heading on out, but it's not long til the resident of the hole came back.
Tsuyu didn't even see him, but she can hear him screaming and shouting angrily, "[where is it?... WHERE IS IT!?... WHERE. IS. IT!?... ]" He hollered, the trees began shaking and cracking violently as the boy cries became more and more enraged. Tsuyu started running as fast her feet can carry her, she did not dare look back, she can see the park she's so close, but she can feel herself getting lifted into the air. She did not want to be caught by this boy, with all her strength she leaped into the air, and made it pass the park's walkway, but didn't stop running until she made it to her house.
She slammed the door breathing heavily as her chest expanded as they took in air, she let her back slid down on the door relieved to make it back home, and she looked down to the book that laid in her arms, wondering what secrets it held.
