Chapter 53
Ray's POV
Everything around me is burning and blurry, U.A. High has been bombed, and the dorms were bombed too.
I hear screams, I know those screams.
I run towards my dorm house, and I see Randy there, pushing down Mina with a gun to her head, I try to stop him but its too late.
"No!" I yell and I see most of my class around him, dead, Hagakure, Kiri, Tokoyami, I see dust too and I start to cry. "Not this, why wasn't I strong enough to stop this?" I ask myself.
Randy pulls out Izu, he's unconscious with a purple body.
I freeze and Randy smirks at me as some League of Villains guys pin me down so I can't stop him.
I close my eyes, but I hear a shot go off and I whimper quietly.
"RAY!" I hear Katsuki yell and explosions around me.
I open my eyes when the pressure on me is gone.
I look up in time for Katsuki to knee next to me, he's beat up badly. "Run!" I scream at him, but its too late, he gets shot in the head and falls next to me.
I sit up quickly and I catch him head on my chest.
"No no no no no no no no, Katsuki, hey, hey, no, you can't leave me, not you, not you." I cry as I see no life, I feel no pulse.
I hug his head to my chest as I cry my heart out.
"This is your fault, Ray. You should never have sold me out that night." Randy says behind me.
Tears keep streaming down my face. "Not you Katsuki, not you, your the only one who can't leave me, I need you." I choke out and I feel a gun to the back of my head, but I don't care. I continue to mumble Katsuki's name, over and over again.
"Ray, Ray, Ray! Hey!" I hear Katsuki's voice. "Wake up." He says and I sit up with a gasp, hot tears streaming down my face, my heart beating, I see everything is ok, I'm in my room and on my bed, next to Katsuki who looks very concerned.
Katsuki looks just fine, not beaten or bruised, no blood, no glazed eyes.
"Are you ok?" Katsuki asks me.
I sniff and I hug him tightly and without warning. "Your ok." I whisper.
Katsuki pets my head. "Why wouldn't I be ok?" Katsuki asks me, concern not even hidden.
I hold him, terror and grief still racing through me. I shake and Katsuki calms me down which takes me a little while.
"Ray, what happened?" Katsuki asks me.
I tell him about the nightmare and Katsuki takes my face in his hands and gives me a reassuring smile.
"That will never happen." Katsuki says to me.
I look into his eyes and I melt into his hands. "If, if U.A. is ever attacked by Randy, promise me, promise me you'll get everyone out before even coming for. I, I couldn't bear if that came to pass, I wouldn't be able to live after that, knowing it was my fault it happened." I say to Katsuki as I look him in the eyes as I put one of my hands on his and the other on his chest.
"Its never going to happen Ray, never, you'd stop him before that ever happened." Katsuki says to me with a reassuring smile.
I look into his eyes, desperate to believe him. "But if it did, please, please promise me you'd get everyone far away and stay with them." I say to Katsuki, desperate. "Please." I say to him.
Katsuki looks at me and shakes his head. "The teachers would get everyone away, but I'm gonna stay next to you, if it ever happens, I'll be by your side." Katsuki says to me and I almost start to cry again.
"You dummy, Randy's quirk gives him perfect precision in anything, if he decides to shoot you, you, you," I trail off, about to cry thinking about it.
Katsuki kisses my forehead. "That will never happen." Katsuki says to me.
I so badly want to believe him, but my dream won't leave me alone, the images sticking in my head.
I cling onto Katsuki's shirt and he notices that I'm still shaking a little.
"Ray, why don't we go outside for some fresh air?" Katsuki asks me.
I nod slightly and he gets up.
Katsuki takes my hands and pulls me up and we head out onto the balcony. "Everything will be ok." Katsuki says to me as he hugs me to him.
I nod. "I know everything is ok, Katsuki, but, I can't handle nightmares sometimes, or thunderstorms, for the same reason." I say and Katsuki nods as he holds me.
I hug him and bury my face into his chest.
Katsuki runs his fingers through my hair and just holds me, because that's what I need right now.
After a little while, Katsuki goes back to sleep on my bed, but I'm too scared to sleep, so I play my game until its time for my run.
I get changed into my running clothes and I pull my hair up into a pony tail.
I pull out my earbuds and I unplug my phone from its charger.
I head downstairs and I put my ear buds in and I start my music and I start my run.
I run until I come across a breaking news report on a giant screen.
I pull my earbuds out and I feel terror course through me.
"Breaking news, the criminal who killed the former Number Two Hero Mizukage, Randy, has escape from the Kurashiki jail." The reporter said and I freeze, my blood turning cold.
I run right back to the school and to my dorm house.
And I pass everyone and I go straight for the stairs.
"RAY! YOU LOOK FRANTIC!" Mina yells.
I race up the stairs as fast as possible and I know Izu and Katsuki are on my tail.
I keep muttering no as I fast walk to my room.
"Ray! What the fuck has you do worked up in public?" Katsuki asks me as they surround me.
I feel myself at the brink of a mental breakdown. "The bastard escape the Kurashiki Jail." I say and Izu eyes widen considerably. "This is not ok, this is not ok at all. This is the opposite of ok. I was not prepared for that this early, but fuck." I say as I start to pace. "No, no, no, its, I," I pause and I stop walking back and forth. "I have to find that bastard." I say and the two just stare at me.
"Ray, are you insane?" Izu asks me.
"At this point, I would not rule it out, but, but, I'm also holding back a mental breakdown, because that bastard, is going to come after everyone I have ever cared about, and I'm gonna stop him, before that happens, because I can not lose anyone else in my life, especially not to him." I say and the two stare at me.
I get a phone call and I see its Endeavor.
I stare at it before I answer it. "Hello firey bastard." I greet.
"Your to stay in school today." Endeavor says to me in a very strict tone.
I feel panic rising in my chest. "Oh hell no. Imma capture that bastard today." I say to Endeavor.
"Your just a kid and he's been plotting revenge against you, your gonna get scared when you see him, and he's gonna use it against you." Endeavor says to me annoyed.
"I'm gonna kick your fucking ass if you can't do your fucking job, if your making me stay here, then you better get him, and if you don't, and he does infact get to the ones I care about, I will not hesitate to leave class, and find him myself." I say and Endeavor hangs up with a sigh. "I never thought I would be this pissed off about this subject." I say and my boys just stare at me. "What? Everyone I know is in danger," I continue rambling about how it just might end up like my nightmare, worst fears and then I notice everyone in my class is around me. I freeze when Mina and Hagakure hug me first.
"Ray, your in the middle of a panic attack, calm down." Ochako says to me.
"I'm not gonna be calm, until I know that bastard is back behind bars, or dead." I say to her. "Calm is gonna be out the window until then." I say to her.
Kiri hugs me as well and I can feel love radiating off Katsuki from here, and then Izu joins the hug and I get smothered by loved.
I almost scream like the unholy demon I am, but Shoto joins along with every other softie in class.
I give it about 3 seconds before I screech like a fucking pterodactyl.
"Yes, exorcise the demon." Mina says and she squeezes tighter.
I break out of the group and I race down the stairs with Katsuki behind me.
I pass Aizawa and I see worry in his eyes.
I slide under arms at the bottom and I race out the back door.
Katsuki gets out here as I sit in a corner, out of sight of the windows.
Katsuki kneels in front of me and he sees panic.
Katsuki holds me as I try to scramble away. "Hey, hey, shh, its ok." Katsuki says to me and I calm down after a few moments. "Calm down, yeah, Randy is on the loose, but the pros are looking for him. Nobody is getting to anybody you care about." Katsuki says to me and I bury my face in his chest and he pets my head in comfort.
I breath in his carmel scent and it sooths my frazzled nerves.
"See, its not hard to calm down." Ochako says next to me and I jump, spooked, Katsuki keeps a hold on me.
"Uraraka, Ray is in a fragile state, she may be in some peace, anything can set her off. She's basically reliving the fear she went through as a child before the incident." Izu says to her.
"I want to hug her." Kiri and Ochako say and Katsuki pulls me closer.
"She doesn't like to be fucking smothered." Katsuki retorts.
"Everybody inside." Aizawa says at the door.
Everybody starts going inside and then Katsuki gets me to my feet.
"I have to talk to Ray." Aizawa says to me, Katsuki, Kiri and Izu.
"Not alone." Izu says to him.
"Midoriya, Kirishima, Bakugou, go inside, Ray come with me." Aizawa says to use in a more stern tone.
Katsuki scowls at him, but Aizawa grabs his bandages, Kiri goes inside with Izu, Izu doesn't want to, but does it anyway.
Katsuki looks at me in the eyed and gives me a reassuring look, and kisses my forehead before going inside
I keep myself from freaking out as me and Aizawa go to the main building.
"Ray, Nezu isn't gonna talk to you about this, he already spoke to the teachers over a face time call, he's separating you from your class until this is over." Aizawa says to me.
"What?" I almost screech which makes him jump a little. "No no no no no no no no no." I say to Aizawa.
"I told him you would say that, but he decided it would be a good idea, that way if Randy is gonna spy on you, he will only see you, not interacting with anybody." Aizawa says to me.
"Oh god, this can't be happening." I say and I see Aizawa frown as we walk. "Well maybe he already is, and we don't know it, and he's seen me with my class, and with Katsuki, and with Izu, and now you, and oh no." I say as my mind races through everything possibility of what could have already happened.
"He hasn't. Randy would have to go by foot, and it would take him 3 hours from the prison to this city. We've hit 2 hours." Aizawa says to me.
We pass 2-A and Peter sees me freaking out.
"Ray!" Peter races over. "What's going on?" Peter asks.
"Randy escaped, I'm being isolated for everyones protection, I do not want to be alone as my fears slowly come true, one by one." I say and Peter freezes.
"Kage." Peter's teacher calls him, but he's in the middle of processing this.
His friends drag him back and Aizawa takes me to the sound proof, windowless, quirk proof, room, from months ago.
"Everything is gonna be fine, Ray. I hate to do this to you." Aizawa says to me and I stare at him as he closes the door between him and me.
Aizawa leaves slowly and I slide down the wall, my hands over my head, the silence is terrible.
I started to sing every song I've ever memorized the lyrics too, and that's a lot, but I don't get signal in here, so I have to do something to keep me sane, the last time I had Katsuki, this time I have no one and nothing.
