10
"I'll be heading to the bathroom really quick, be right back" I said walking out of the room. I needed to clear my head for a moment before our match started.
"You can do this, just keep calm and have confidence in yourself for once!" I said to myself and slapped my cheeks gently.
I passed the next the corner and heard a male voice speaking to someone on the phone.
"It's been nice to hear your voice after such a long time Hibiko-Chan" my eyes widened and I stopped at the corner, knowing exactly whom this voice belonged too. I took a step back and covered my mouth.
"W-Why is he?" my heart was beating really fast and I gripped my shirt, squeezing it tightly.
"That's not possible! how can he still be in touch with her? I thought they cut all ties after we moved away... why then?" I couldn't understand at all. I failed to hear that the phone call ended and somebody started approaching in my direction.
"Ears dropping isn't like you at all (first name)-Chan" a deep voice whispered into my ear and made me jerk.
"..." I could not say anything and just starred in the hateful eyes of the person who destroyed everything.
"E-Endeavor-san" I stuttered, still feeling my heart beating like crazy in my chest.
"It's been a while hasn't it?" he started, taking a step closer but I immediately backed away.
"Eh? are you perhaps scared of me?" he asked, forming a grin on his lips.
"..." I grinded my teeth and looked at his form, he was so intimidating it was hard to even stand without my legs shaking.
"W-What did you have to talk to about with my mother?" I asked, curious about their conversation.
"Oh? you wonder why I talked to your mom? well... Hibiko and I, we always had a special connection" my eyes widened.
"You have what?" his grin extended as he took another step closer to me and this time I could not move away because I was paralyzed from the shock and the thoughts that run through my head.
"I am sure you are curious, it is only normal for a young girl to be curious about their parents "affairs"" he whispered towads me. I closed my eyes shut and tried to ignore his comments because I knew he was only toying with me.
"S-Stop it! I know you are only saying this to hurt me!" he chuckled deply and raised his hand, slowly running it through the hanging hair strand in my face, brushing it away. I grinded my teeth angrily as his large hand touched me and without thinking I slapped it away as he combed it with his finger tips.
"Take your hands off me!" I yelled with a shaky voice but he only smirked at me.
"You sure developed some guts girl" he praised and stepped back.
"Just like Hibiko when she was young" I clenched my fists and trid to keep it together.
"Stop talking about my mother! she has nothing to do with this!" I yelled and the flames around his body increased.
"You are quite right, but still I can't just drop it since it's our first encounter after so many years... you do look a lot like your mom, the hair, the eyes, also the shape of your face" I could not shake off the feeling that he thought more of my mother when they were younger but knowing her she probably turned him down because she was in love with my father.
"You see mom in me because you were turned down by her when you were younger, right? that's why you've forbidden Shoto to be friends with me" his eyes widened for a split second and turned angry right after.
"You couldn't endure that I was getting along with him so well, if I would have stayed by his side then you would have to endure the fact that mom was there too! that's why you told me to leave him, right?" anger spread through his arms and he suddenly gripped my neck, slamming me against the wall.
"You have unusual sharp eyes, I can praise you on that" I could not breathe and struggled to break free.
"You think that after you moved, the deal would be over right? but I tell you what" he came closer and whispered towards me.
"You are wrong, it only just started" I shut my eyes tightly.
"You will do exactly what I tell you and if you don't, you know what I will do" I was angry that I could not fight back.
"L-Leave my parents out of this!" his grip tightened.
"Shut up you silly girl! I thought I'd told you that there is no future for you, no matter how much you try you will never get close to my son again! trash like you does not deserve to be by the side of the future number 1 hero!" he released me and I fell to the floor with him standing tall before me.
"I never thought I have to remind you again but since you seemed to forget it, you leave me no other choice" I looked down, clenching my fists.
"You are an abomination, a failed experiment who was discarded, this is all thanks to your mother who decided to marry the wrong man! your fathers quirk will be your death" he stepped away and I sunk my head, letting tears stream down my face. The truth was painful, I always knew but being reminded of it was even more painful. I knew that my mom was sorry for me, the quirk I have does not suit my body 100% that's why I keep getting these white stains whenever I over use my quirk... I thought that learning how to control it would solve my troubles but all it did was extending the time limit how long I could use it. That's why my father was against me becoming a pro hero, but I convinced my parents and promised them that I'd make it anyway and find a way to make my body accept this quirk no matter what it took, I wanted nothing more than being by Shoto's side, together with him, forever.
"I think I don't have to tell you what you have to do in the match against Shoto" he said, looking over his shoulder. I knew what I had too and there was no way around it.
"Yes... I know what I have to do" he grinned and looked away.
"In the end you always decide to do the right thing after all" I listened until his footsteps disappeared and I was alone again.
"I... will find a way... I am not giving up on this dream... I will be together with Shoto, maybe not right now but there is still time... I will make my own fate, I don't care what I am and what I'm destined to be, I will decide for myself what my future looks like and whom I'm following there. I too can become a hero!" I whipped the tears out of my face and stood up from the floor. My eyes had a serious stare and I was ready to do what I had too for now, even though I knew how much I would dissapoint everyone. My parents, my friends, Shoto.... everyone. This is necessary for now, because I am not strong enough to fight back yet, until I can I have to do what he tells me but I make sure... that this is the last time he interfers with my life and with my future.
"I will fall, deeper than I already have but only those who fall the deepest, have the strenght to get back up and rise even higher!".
"I will rise, together with you just as I promised, just wait for me a little longer ok?"
