Burning Terror

This winter we were really lucky to survive and not lose anyone. It was getting a little bit warmer and I needed to stock up some food since we didn't had any anymore. So I went outside but before I could exite the school one of the younger kids come running to me.


Hikari: Shizuka wait!


Me: What is it Hikari?


Hikari: Can I come with you?


She was such a sweet little 6 year old girl. From all the kids she was the most attached to me.


Me: Sure!


Hikari: REALLY?!


Me: Yeah!


Hikari: YES!!!!


Normally I wouldn't bring anyone with me but this time I had money. A couple of nights before I managed to break into some rich guys house and take some money. I was sure that he didn't needed it that much since he had so many unnecessary luxury thing in his house. We on the other hand needed every single bit of it.


We both went to the nearest mall and there I began stocking up our food supplies after filling up one big sport bag with food I was sure we could survive on it for 1 week. I also had some money left and seeing as my little sweet girl Hikari needed some new shoes and clothing I decided to spoil her a little bit.


Me: Hikari, what do you say if we go and look for some new cloths for you?


Hikari: Really?!


Me: Yes, sweet heart!


Hikari: Yey!


We then went to the clothing store and I picked up the cutest outfit I could find for her that was still in the budget. I bought it for her than we went to a shoe store and I got her some cute little white shoes with white wings on the side. She loved them soo much and only wanted them so I had no other choice then to get her these. Hikari said that the wings reminded her of mine and that we were now closer than before.


After that we both went home or we tried too. The street that was going to our home was blocked by some police cars and I could smell the strong scent of something burnt.


I went to the closest police officer and began asking him since I was too curious. In order to not loos Hikari I put the bag around my shoulder and picked her up and began caring her in my hands.


Me: Excuse? Can you tell me what is going on?


Police Officer: I am sorry but I am not allowed to.


Me: That's ok, I was just asking because I live a little bit down the street.


I pointed to the direction of the blockade.


Police Officer: You are lucky that you were not at home, Miss.


Now I had a bad feeling.


Me: What do you mean?


Police Officer: I can't say for sure but all I know is Endeavor is chasing down a villain in this part right now.


Me: Thank you, have good day Sir.


I left the officer and tried to get to the school through another rout. Hikari must have felt my uneasiness and saw me panicking because she began crying a little bit.


Hikari: Shizu?


Me: Everything will be fine!


After getting to the second route, I was meat with another blockade.


This isn't good!


I have a bad feeling and I don't like it!


I then left and went to the nearest playground and put Hikari down.


Me: Sweet heart, can you stay put?


Hikari: Where are you going?


Me: I am gonna fly up real quick, ok?


Hikari: Why?


Me: I want to make sure that nothing is wrong with our home and I can see it from up there.


Hikari: Ok.


I could hear how sad she was. Tears were beginning to wheel up in her eyes. I knew that she would feel loney and that she experience a lot of bad thing since her parents just left her in a forest alone.


She was one of the kids that was born quirkless. No one wnanted her not even her parents. I found her nearly dead and took her in. Since then she was always by my side and waiting for my return when I was out.


Me: Good Girl. You will be able to see me ok, I won't fly away I am only going straigh up.


Hikari: Okay.


Putting the bag down beside her, I released my wings and opened them. Then with a strong push, I was up in the sky. Once I was up, I looked in the direction of the school building and saw that it was on fire.


Oh no!


NO!


NONONONO!


This can't be happening!


This is only a dream!


NO!


Please!


This must be a dream!


I want to wake up!


Please someone wake me up!


I saw red feathers in the distance and some ambulance. There were a lot of heroes there. I couldn't see one opening to just quickly fly in and check the situation and even if I did I wouldn't let Hikari be alone right now.


As I was flying down and landed, I started crying. My only hope would be that the heroes saved all the kids that I saved from the street. All the children's that were casted out, would be saved by heroes and maybe get a better home. However deep down inside me I felt like that they were all gone.


Once my feet touched the ground I collapsed to my knees and my wings disappeared. Hikari was quick to hug me but in the end, we were both crying our eyes out.


Hikari: Shizu?


I couldn't bring myself to tell her that every other one was gone.


Hikari: Phoenix?


Me: Mh?


Hikari: Are they ok?


Me: I don't know...


Hiakri: They are right?


Me: Yes, sweet heart. They are now in a better place hopefully!


Not wanting to attract any more attention than we already have, I stood up, picked her up and began walking down the street with our food supplies. I found an abandoned building where we both took shelter for the moment.


It was getting late and I had my wings out and was laying with Hikari in my hand on the floor, covering her while she was sleeping. Then out of nnowhere I could feel someone walking in the building. Decided to check it up, I slowly got up. Trying my best not to wake her up, I retrieved my wings into my back and went to the source of the sound.


Someone was in the staircase. The person was getting up.


Why would someone come here in the middle of the night?


I don't think you can watch the stars from here....


Don't tell me they are here for that reason?!


I made my way up to the roof and went out. There I found a boy with painted black hair and some visible scars walking towards the edge.


Oh god!


What happened to you?


Me: You don't have to do this.


He jumped at my sudden voice and turned around. It was clear to me that I just scared him.


???: But this makes it so much easier.


Me: If you don't have a place to stay than stay with me. I don't judge you for who you are or what you have done. For all I care you could be a murder and I would still offer you a hand.


???: You sure about this?


Me: Yes! People in the streets call me dark phoenix.


???: So you are the fallen angel I have heard about, that helps lost kidds.


Me: Believe me I am no angel!


???: Why are they calling you like that anyways?


I released my wings slowly and stretched them. It was still too dark to have a better look at him.


???: OH!


I could tell he was stunned.


???: They are beautiful!


Me: So why are you here? I thought my day was terrible!


???: What happened?


Me: You might have heard about the school building that went up in flames because of the trashcan of a hero?


???: Yeah...


Me: It was the place I called home and in there were 41 children. The media didn't tell the public every details but I know that they all died there.


I felt angry again.


If I could I would have murdered the hero that killed 41 children, just to get his hands on one villain!


???: I am sorry.


Me: For what?


???: For your lose!


Me: Don't be silly! You had nothing to do with it! Now your story!


???: I have no where to go, my old man threw me out and I tried living on the street for the past couple of years. I don't feel like there is anything worth living anymore.


Me: Then come with me!


???: You sure about this?


Me: Yep! How should I call you?


???: Dabi.


Me: Ok, Dabi, then lets get down of the roof and to the room we will be staying in for tonight.


I then walked to him grabbed his hand and basically forced him to come with me to the room where Hikari was still sleeping.


Dabi: Who is that?


Me: Her name is Hikari, she is quirkless. Her parents left her in a forest all alone.


Dabi: Are you not angry at the hero?


Me: I am and more than that! I could literally slaughter and torture him for that! One day I will make sure to make that piece of shit suffer!
