Chapter 10 : | Series Masterlist

Things turned out to be great, it seems like no one suspected me for now. It was satisfying how everything was at this moment. Shoto held me by my waist as we made our way towards the main hall.

Class 1-A and B trailing behind after us as we led them to our destination. Everything was truly great, and for a moment I forgot all of my worries. We all laughed and passed around jokes about Monoma and Bakugo who were in the back of the group currently bickering about class 1-A’s victory.

Their friends had to hold them back from tearing each other apart. ‘Poor Kirishima and Tetsutetsu.’ I laughed along with them, Shoto smiling beside me. Mina who was at my right began to joke about some stuff.

By the time we were done with the whole competition it was already nearing 5 PM. I continued to joke around with all the girls and some of the guys. At this moment I was so happy, but something happened. And then I realized, happiness doesn’t last forever. It’s only temporary, if you want it as well. You’re going to have to fight for it.

A creature popped out from the direction of the cabins, it was limping slowly towards us. It had the form of a human, but you could barely call it that anymore. Its shirt had rips and tears at the hems and blood scattered around it, most notably from his shirt and mouth. The smell of rotting corpse was prominent in the air, whilst groans and moans of pain sounded off from the creature.

The creature looked familiar to everyone, but then again they couldn’t be sure. It was too different from the Nakamura Haru that they knew, the smartest boy in their entire grade. But no one could deny the strikingly disheveled bright purple hair that looked almost exactly the same as his, that hair color was what made Nakamura stuck out like a sore thumb. But what made Nakamura Haru stick out to both Shoto and (Y/n) was the fact they could recall that he was the cashier that flirted with (Y/n), that was just recently as well.

The pupils of the creature were clouded over by some white mist, as though it was in a cataract. He was deathly pale and his blood red veins were prominently visible, especially in his eyes. His face looked like it was dead, cuts and bruises all over. The heavy smell of metallic broke through the air.

If you looked closely at him you could spot the red blood dripping from his mouth with bits of food all over as if that was the aftermath of him throwing up. Upon close inspection of his neck, you could spot the remains of a bloody gauze pad and pieces of medical tape on it, which was forcefully ripped off of him. Exposing the massive chunk of missing flesh on his neck, with dark bite marks surrounding the area.

It was patient zero or otherwise known as the first infected…

However I could tell he hasn’t turned yet officially, because his color of his pupils were still somewhat visible. Not fully white and because of the fact that he hasn’t lunged at someone yet in the intentions of eating them, he might be dead but his consciousness was still present. That is why I hadn’t made my move. Partially this was also because I was contemplating on letting go of this life that I built with everyone.

Regardless if there was an antidote for the virus right now with me. He’s gone too far for us to save him, the only thing we could do for him now was to put him out of his misery. To make sure he doesn’t harm anyone else, to make sure the virus doesn’t spread. Once the virus takes over, there won’t be anyone stopping him. Except for me or a gun… If he manages to bite someone as well, I’ll have to either find an antidote or kill them before they turn.

“Ah! What is that?!” Uraraka screamed when she set her eyes on the creature.

“Holy shit! It looks like it’s barely holding up!” A random guy from class-B yelled

“Someone get some help!” Mina shook me

“Oh God, I think I’m gonna be sick!”

“He looks dead!”

“He’s a fucking zombie!” They weren’t wrong

“We must assess the situation first!” Iida yelled and karate chop the air

“We must inform the teachers as soon as possible and bring him to recovery girl!” Kendo backed Iida up

“Shit. But it’s so soon…” I whispered frustratingly

“What’s so soon?” Shoto asked but I didn’t reply.

Panic ensued behind us as they glanced at the creature. Screams of fear and terror littered the air, causing them to grab the attention of the other classes, the teachers, and camp counselors. I needed to form a plan and fast! He’s going to turn full at any moment now!

‘I don’t have any weapons on me or anything to tie him down with as of right now, fuck! I let my guard down!’ I began looking around for anything. Then my eyes caught on Shoto’s belt. That’ll have to do for now I guess.

“Oh my God! Isn’t that Nakamura?!” A class-C student yelled

“Nakamura?! Are you alright?! We checked the cabins a while ago but you weren’t there!” A few people tried to go to Nakamura but ultimately failed.

Nemuri-san or better known as Midnight-sensei, pulled back the students who I assumed were Nakamura’s friends, directing them to head to the main building, “Students get back! We will assist, Nakamura!”

“It looks like he’s sick, so I’ll need you all to wear a face mask to ensure you don’t get sick as well.” Principal Nezu announced, still calm as ever despite his face contorting into that of worry, “Present Mic please lead all of these students into the main hall. Vlad, please get the umbrella corporation men.” Principal Nezu shooed the teachers to do the task he had given them.

As I looked around I saw it, his eyes fully turned white. ‘There’s no more time to think! Everything’s happening so fast! So just fucking move!’ I screamed at myself internally. In truth I was also scared to accept this reality and that’s why I couldn’t move or think fast enough. Midnight appeared from in front of us and unfortunately, I was too late. Nakamura or what once was him, screeched as he jumped at Midnight, latching onto her shoulder effectively pinning her down.

It was eating her flesh, tearing apart whatever it could sink its teeth into. The anticipation and fear before was still manageable before this but now a full on panic ensued and so Shoto pulled me with him towards safety. But I couldn’t do that, I had to handle this before the situation worsens than it already has. I stopped running with Shoto, the distance we covered from that scene wasn’t exactly far. We maybe only took 15 steps before I deliberately stopped.

The crowd of students around us were in a rush to get away as Present Mic, other teachers, and class representatives tried their best to lead and help the students towards the main building, where they would board up the doors and not get out until it was deemed safe.

Despite everyone’s best efforts to stay calm, in this situation it wasn’t an option. It was like kill or be killed, stampedes of people came. Unfortunately me and Shoto were caught in it and had almost been trampled, however we were pushed apart by the mere force of everyone. I tried to yell to everyone to keep calm, yelling out also the names of all my classmates and friends, searching for their response so that I could at least know that they were alive.

It was hard to tell anyone’s voices in the middle of the raging sea of terrified people as screams were all over the place that I couldn’t even hear my own voice over the other people. Despair and fear filled the air, and no matter how hard I silently pray for the umbrella corporation men to come and help us despite it destroying my pride. It was undeniable that if they were here the situation would improve no matter how incompetent or weak they may be.

Some people got trampled in the stampede, resulting in their deaths. It was disgusting how they were lying on the ground, footprints all over them yet nobody could help them. Others who were luckily not caught in the stampede had either been bitten by Nakamura, hiding, or puking.

I felt all hope was gone but I couldn’t give up just yet! What about all those smiles and the memories given to me this year! Will I let them fall down the drain?! No! ‘I promise! No matter what I’ll save everyone who I can! I promise to help you all, just as you all helped me before!’

I couldn’t stop this stampede, that’s for sure. But I could help lessen it. But I’d need to get my classmates out first. Quickly thinking up a plan I put it into action. Using the person in front of me, I grabbed their shoulders and used them as a base so I could launch myself.

I managed to launch myself far away and started to help the teachers direct the students to the main building, I did this by cutting off a large group of students and yelling at them to help everyone, and if they were to disagree I instilled fear in them. A death glare and bloodlust aura was enough to let them know not to mess with me.

And so despite their fear, they followed my order. Now the burden of the situation was lessened. I pulled out all the class 1 students I could find, being very grateful that they were all still alive. But I almost wept tears when I saw Shoto, he was well and breathing! He ran to me and pulled me in a tight hug. I hugged him back but I knew I had to handle the situation with Nakamura before it gets even worse. So despite not wanting to, I pulled back from Shoto and hardened my mind, completely focused on what I needed to do.

“Are you alright?! Do I need to carry you?!” Shoto yelled looking at my body to see if I had any injuries.

“Shoto, I need you-“ Before I could finish my hurried sentence, I was cut off by another scream, Nakamura had taken another victim.

“Later, okay! We need to get out of here first!” He yelled angrily, almost picking me up to run off to safety.

I wasted too much time, I need to help now. And so I dropped to my knees and quickly undid Shoto’s belt, to which he grabbed at my hands to get me to stop. But I simply refused, continuing to try to take his belt.

“(Y/n)! My love, if you want to, we’ll do it later! Right now is a bad time! I need to get you to safety!”

“Bullshit Shoto! Get your mind out of the gutter, I only need your belt!” He was shocked that I yelled at him, but he got it because of the severity of the situation.

“What do you even plan on doing?!” He screamed trying to get me to stop, but to his surprise I was strong enough to hold him back, as I finally grabbed his belt from him.

“Izuku! Take Shoto to safety!” I screamed as Midoriya did what I asked him to do.

Since I was the one who helped lessen the burden of the stampede, Midoriya fully trusted in me. Izuku got the hint that I knew what I was doing so he obliged in doing my request also truly not wanting to do it. Kirishima had to come including Iida who saw what was happening, instead of trying to stop me, they helped Midoriya hold Shoto back. Trying to drag him to the main building was almost impossible as he was practically built so it’d take a lot to hold him back.

Shoto was scared of what would happen to you, his girlfriend! The love of his life…! So his friends should understand his feelings yet, they didn’t let him go to you! They didn’t even try to get you back, the teachers were trying desperately to hold back Nakamura but ultimately ending up in them getting bitten, so far he had bit more than 4 people for sure but they couldn’t be certain at this point as bodies were dropping quickly by the second. They were sure Nakamura wasn’t this strong before, it was like he gained super strength and that’s why they ultimately got bitten.

Running over to the scene I used the buckle of the belt to hit Nakamura in the face with a swing, so powerful that it knocked him back and out of Aizawa-sensei’s grip just the right timing before Nakamura could sink his teeth into him. It happened so quickly that sensei didn’t have any time to protest when I made my moves.

“Sensei, let me handle this. Just help by finding some rope or chains to hold them down. Don’t get bitten or you’ll become infected.” I was calm, too calm.

“(L/n)! Get to safety!” Sensei replied

“No time to argue or explain, but we need to kill him or at least hold him down and I’m the only one here who’s capable of doing that!”

Secretly this scared sensei, at how much information I poured out. I pushed him back, not enough to hurt him but just to hurry him up. The other teachers also saw what happened and decided to trust their precious student seeing as I’m the only one who seems to know how to handle the situation. They didn’t want to trust this situation to their student, but what else could they do exactly?

Nakamura was powerful and it seems like nobody but me could hold him down. The U.A.’s teacher hands were tied. They needed to make a decision quickly, or more deaths will stain their bloodied hands… So against their will and good conscience, they placed their faith on me. Hoping that they made the right decision and that it wouldn’t lead to me getting bitten as well.

“Tch, fine. Be careful, I’ll look for something to help you!” He yelled, running in the direction of the activities area

“Preferably a gun!” I added

It wasn’t long before Nakamura stood up from the hit, his intentions to devour my flesh unwavering. Luckily for him, today I was going to do my best to put him out of his misery. He moved quickly to lunge at me but I dodged him faster, going up from behind him, grabbing his nape and waist. I threw him over my back. The impact was so strong that you could hear the sounding of his ribs cracking.

Before he could move, I pinned him down and flipped him so that he was facing the dirt, putting both of his hands together, using the belt to secure them so that he wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone anymore. Now I just need something to kill him with. He kept on struggling under me, turning his head from side to side to try and bite my delicious flesh. Being pissed off at this I grabbed his hair easily and lifted him up.

Then quickly I smashed his head to the ground, it should have put a lot of damage to his head, but not enough to actually kill him just managing to knock him out. I’m not sure how long though so I’ll need to act fast with the others, judging on the blood that kept on spilling nonstop from Nakamura’s head then I’d give maybe around 2 minutes tops. For now my next top priority is the handle the people he bit next. That is if they turn quickly, if not then good.

My senses were heightened towards the situation so I wasn’t paying attention to how everyone had stopped and stared at me in shock at what had happened. Shoto who was still protesting and trying to get out of his friend's grip at the time, stopped struggling when he saw how I handled the situation.

I knew what I was doing for sure now.

“So this is what you were hiding...” Shoto whispered in fear

He definitely wasn’t expecting it. When you said you trained endlessly at him, he’s now beginning to think his training didn’t cut half of yours. Sure he was strong, but you literally broke Nakamura’s ribs. He didn’t even think he would be able to do something like that. So how strong were you actually?! Also both of your will have lots to talk about, right now he’s really worried about your safety.

Next thing everyone knew was that Midnight sensei turned quickly into a monster, a zombie. Blood dripped from her mouth and she ran towards you, screeched out incoherent words. However just like before you stepped out of the way and roundhouse kicked her to the head. Making her fly off and hit the trunk of a tree. Forcefully knocking the wind out of her.

“I need a weapon!” I yelled out to anybody who was listening

Midnight sensei seemed to have a great stamina and endurance because your move did not hinder her for long. The minute she caught her breath, her eyes which were crying blood glared daggers into you. Clearly you had her complete attention, so you took a fighting stance, preparing for the worst to come.

“(L/n)! Catch!” Aizawa yelled throwing a line of chain at you

You caught it, and looked down for a second. It wasn’t too long, just enough to tie a person or two to a tree, but it made up for its size and thickness. Grabbing around the middle of the chain using the end, you twirled it around to your side. Preparing the momentum for what you were going to do.

Midnight got off the tree but it seems like her legs were fractured in the process, as she had to crawl towards me, then despite all odds she stood up. Which was a terrible idea because her bones became ever more fractured and broke through her muscles and skin. The bloody bone stuck out of her, and to make matters worse it was for both of her legs.

She ran towards me, not letting her broken bones hold her back. Using all the built up momentum I had with the chain I threw it towards her, wrapping her neck in it. She tried to untangle it but failed miserably as she just kept on clawing at it instead of unwrapping it. So while the chain was wrapped around her neck, I ran towards the trees she hit previously.

Throwing my end of the chain over a large tree branch, I grabbed the end of it and pulled, hauling it over my shoulder and walking to the opposite direction. Midnight’s body was lifted into the air, and she struggled to breathe. Clawing at the chains even more, she screeched and roared in pain but it didn’t even sound anything remotely human.

Opening her mouth, 4 weird separate things that looked somewhat similar to a tongues or that of a plant's leaves/petals which were lined up with large sets of spiky teeth. A tongue that looked like it belonged to a snake slithered out of the small mouth opening. It tried its best to free her from the wretched chains that prevented her from chomping down on our flesh and brains. Yet it was unsuccessful with every helpless movement it made.

Now I just needed something to pin the chain down with so that I could deal with the other 2 people who were bitten. Hopefully they hadn’t turned… Welp there goes those thoughts down the drain. Another person literally rose from the dead. Having the exact same symptoms as Midnight and Nakamura had.

“You have gotta be shitting me...” I groaned but then a brilliant idea came to mind, “Hey, shitface! Come at me!” I screamed, grabbing its attention easily

Instead of charging at other people who aren’t able to protect themselves. It charged at full force towards me with no strategy behind its moves. This fight was beginning to feel easier and boring by the minute. ‘If all they’re gonna do is charge at me, then this should be an easy win. At least I hope it’ll be, we still need to deal with the consequences after the situation has been handled. Not to mention the fact that yesterday there were so many umbrella corporation men stationed all over the camp. So how the Hell are they not on top of the situation!’

The answer was simple, and even I knew it but tried to refuse it in hopes that they would be there to save us. It was silly, but I only believed it because of Chris Redfeild. The Umbrella Corporation orchestrated this whole ruse.And if I don’t play my cards correctly, then I’ll fall back into the clutches of the deepest parts of their trap. Not to mention I’d also be dragging down everyone into this mess. Especially Shoto.

‘God! This is not how I wanted him to find out! If only I had the courage to tell him the truth…’ O nearly cried, but the fear of him hating me never ends and so I decided to conceal the truth. Thinking that it was the best choice for us, now I realized that it wasn’t my decision alone to make. After this whole thing is over, I was going to be telling the truth from now on.

“H-Help!” A distorted monstruos version of the once human spewed out.

It seemed as though they were trying to fight back against the infection, the parasite… However, we all know that won’t last because I’m the end, they’ll turn in mere moments from now, or it may be quicker than we anticipated. Honestly it all depends on their immune system response and their will to live. No one would be able to overcome this virus, not unless you were (L/n) (Y/n)… Me, and that’s why I’m so worried about my friends.

The virus took control over their mind and body completely. Still charging at me, instead of moving out of the way like I usually would do, I kicked it’s left foot harshly causing it to buckle to the ground. Taking advantage of the situation quickly before the tides could turn, getting on its back. Placing both my feet on their back and pulled back on their hair, forcefully revealing its neck and face to me.

I wrapped the ends of the chain that I was still holding onto the whole time around their necks. Easily missing their attempts to try to bite me. Getting off of them rather quickly right after I secured the chains, I jumped a back handspring off their back.

Which in result since my weight wasn’t helping to hold them down anymore, they flew up with many screeches of pain following. Both them and Midnight were now next to each other, the only thing dangling them up was the chains around their necks that hung over the trees' big and high branches.

Now that I finally finished that, I looked for any more people who had been bitten by Nakamura. There were many more… But they were lying dead on the ground not yet transformed so I was safe for now. Speaking of Nakamura, he sounded off from behind me. I was right, it only took around 2-3 minutes give or take, for him to recover from the impact.

“Looks like you haven’t had enough yet!” I screamed at him, preparing for when he’d charge at me.

“Stop it!”

The brunette camp counselor named Watanabe Ren yelled in fear but managing to hide it well enough, trying to diffuse the situation. He ran into the situation, shakily holding a shotgun in his hand. An unloaded one at that. The rest of the camp counselors followed after him though unlike him they weren't loaded with any weapons. In Watanabe’s other hand held some real shotgun ammo. ‘Thank God!’

“Shoot him now and aim for his head!” I screamed at him

“We aren’t going to kill him or any of the others! This is just wrong!” A camp counselor whom I wasn’t introduced to yet tried to make their way towards me before being pulled back by Aizawa sensei who had my back.

He pushed the camp counselors back before they could stop me, other teachers of ours following in his lead and supporting him, “We’ve got them, (L/n)! You better deal with the situation!”

“Will do!”

“Oh, you’re not going anywhere! Just who the Hell do you think you are?!” Another random camp counselor that I didn’t know yelled at me.

“What-t the Hell is going on?! Someone p-please explain!” Watanabe fearfully asked, staring directly at Nakamura, their eyes locking.

Frustrated with the event I growled at him, “I’ll explain later, just kill him now before it’s all too late!”

“No, we want answers now!” The blonde camp counselor Yoshida Akane, inserted frustratingly

Before I could answer her, Nakamura didn’t waste any time in running towards them as they were closer to him and in many numbers. In fear, Watanabe tried loading the gun as fast as possible, but it was an impossible task when he was shaking too much. Using this as a distraction. I immediately scanned the area for any possible weapons to use.

‘Fucking finally! Bingo!’ I yelled in my head running over to a metal baseball bat that was lying on the ground randomly. I grabbed it and ran towards the camp counselors by now though, Watanabe Ren had been pinned to the ground by Nakamura. But he wasn’t bitten yet for he had used the gun to shield himself from Nakamura.

He held the gun horizontally with 2 hands, whilst Nakamura chomped on it. With every ounce of strength he had, he struggled against the monster. The monster seeing as he couldn’t bite him, clawed into the counselors shoulders, easily tearing it apart and drawing blood.

Though that wasn’t the only place hold was drawing out from, Nakamura’s mouth also had blood flowing down nonstop from it and just like Midnight, something horrific came out of his mouth and this time because of that, it was able to throw the gun out of the counselors hands and wrap itself around his head.

Behind Nakamura was the blonde counselor who tried to pull him away from the brunette which failed from how weak she was and she also got scratched in the face and arms, lines of blood dripping from them. The other camp counselors had panicked and bailed on them, choosing to save their own lives than help their friends. ‘Some friends they are!’ I thought sarcastically.

I swung the metal bat right at Nakamura’s body, throwing him back to the ground, rolling a few meters away from us. I was emotionless as I ran up to him and swung the bat to his head this time, causing him to fall to the ground, I didn’t stop there though nor did he. I ran towards the gun near the dead brunette counselor and the crying blonde counselor who held onto him as she wailed.

Grabbing the unloaded gun and the ammo that was conveniently near and not lost. I loaded it as quickly as possible, whilst Nakamura got up and ran at me full speed, even faster than before. The weird thing coming from out of his mouth was still visible. I only managed to load and cock the gun, aiming at him. The distance between us was only a single meter.

“Eat this, motherfucker!” I screamed, pulling the trigger

A loud bang went off, making birds and other animals which lived in the woods run away in fear. I had hit Nakamura successfully in the head, he fell back from the impact and was now finally dead. Which I really hoped stayed that way this time.

I looked around me and grabbed some bullets from the dead counselor's pocket while the blonde counselor was still in a state of shock and broke down crying. Using the last bullet in the gun to shoot Midnight who was still alive. After that I reloaded and killed off the rest leaving no one behind. Even the camp counselor and anyone who hasn’t turned yet.

By now every student was at the main building safe and sound, watching the entire scene happen in front of them through the high tech holograms. They were crying at my actions of killing their classmates, friends, and family who were already dead. ‘Why couldn’t you leave them in peace!’ They thought, however, they were simple minded. They didn’t understand my actions or they refused to understand and acknowledge them.

Gasps of shock and disbelief sounded off behind me coming from the teachers and camp counselors and no one protested my actions because of the fear they held for me. No one except principal Nezu, who walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder and thanked me for my actions.

I was stuck in fear of everyone hating me for my actions but I needed to do it before they would turn and kill us all. But most notably I was scared of Shoto’s reaction. Would he break up with me? I can’t handle that as ever since the incident happened, Shoto became my number 1 pillar (Besides from my best friends) and reason that I kept on pushing forward.

Everyone including myself was on edge and although everything felt like it happened so fast yet so slow at the same time. In reality, it was still 5:30. Only 30 minutes had passed since the beginning of the end started.

What’s Life Without A Little Risk?

Summary: What happens when you leave a bunch of teenagers in a summer camp at an island? Not to mention that there’s something suspicious going on in that island. Chaos. Chaos is what happens.

Warnings: No Quirk AU, Cannibalism, Violence, Language, Angst?

Paring: Todoroki Shoto X Fem! Reader

Word count: 2,212 words

Chapter 8 : It Has Already Begun | Series Masterlist

Everyone was done with their turn, it was finally mine. ‘Shit, what if Shoto recognizes me? I doubt he wouldn’t.’ I thought, a pang of guilt hitting my heart. When he’ll recognize me will he be upset or worried?’Since I don’t want to deal with those thoughts right now, I pushed them back and readied myself behind the starting line, cocking the airsoft handgun in preparation. ‘Well if Shoto will be looking at us the whole time, I might as well enjoy it.’ I smirked to myself.

“3… 2… 1… Begin!” The camp counselor announced much to everyone’s anticipation

Once the countdown was done I immediately felt a pair of eyes boring into my very soul. I guess it didn’t take much time for him to recognize me. Of course he’s my boyfriend so he better recognize me, I’d be somewhat offended if he didn’t.

Plus I also didn’t mind the attention on me, in fact I was more than happy for it. It gave me motivation to do my best, well not absolutely best since I could get caught but you know what I mean.

Guns began to rapidly fire at me, luckily I managed to run and dodged them, seeking shelter behind a tree. But that didn’t stop them from still trying to hit me. I can heard the rapid firing and the ammos hitting the bark of the tree.

I can’t stay here for much longer. I need to move and I haven’t even shot my gun yet. Looking at my surroundings for anything that can help me I spotted a handgun magazine nearby, I managed to grab it with my foot. Extending it and kicking it in the air towards me. I caught it with my hand and began to formulate a plan.

I should have really formulated a plan beforehand, but it was unexpected that I would actually participate in this silly competition. Instead of whining and sulking around, I decided to make my next move. Which was to climb up the tree and shoot down the 2 umbrella men.

“How come they weren’t shooting the others down? It’s only me. God, Shoto is gonna be so worried after this.” I grimaced

‘The ones running this camp might already know who I am, so that’s why they’re shooting at me. Testing if their theory and hunch is correct.’ If what I was thinking was right then I shouldn’t really show off my skills. I now realized that taking Momo’s place in this competition was a stupid idea.

To risk or not to risk. And I chose to risk it. This game could be the reason why my identity is compromised and everything that I had built up will be wasted. ‘No! I need to keep being level headed! But then again… What’s life without a little risk? A boring one that’s for sure. Also not unless I prove to them I’m someone else then my identity wouldn’t really become compromised. I could purposely get shot or even shoot myself.

Then that alone could prove I'm insolent, when it comes to this kinda stuff. Yes! That’s just what I needed! I can turn this whole situation around. ‘I’ll just shoot myself first then those men. If they shoot me, they could actually hit a place that’s vital or really hurts.’ Putting my plan into action, I shot myself in 3 different non-vital areas. Making sure that they’ll bruise up.

“Shit, okay that really hurts. Shoto you better kiss these boo-boo’s away later.” I hissed in pain

‘You’ve felt even more shitty when a bullet actually pierced into you, so don’t complain.’ I thought to myself, looking back at the 2 men who continuously shot the tree, I easily shot them down. Making sure that they won’t get back up so easily. The 2 camp counselors, Watanabe Ren and Yoshinda Akane looked shocked as they watched the 2 men fall helplessly.

Not only them but everyone as well looked shocked. I’ll have to do a bit of explaining later. I dropped to the ground and easily and quickly shot down all the targets in one place, not bothering to move to have aim at them.

Once my rapid firing had ceased, because I was out of ammo, I pulled out a handgun magazine I found beforehand and reloaded like it was no biggie. I was a natural at it. Then I kept shouting down the targets, not missing a single one.

However something caught my attention, the 2 umbrella men got back up quickly and began to fire at me again. I aimed and pulled the trigger at them.

“Fuck.” I was out of ammo again

I couldn’t spot any more handgun magazines anywhere, however I did find another really pretty airsoft gun to be specific, a LCT AK-104 AEG. ‘Now we’re talking!’ Doing a rolling dive, I grabbed the gun and quickly stood up, shooting the 2 Umbrella men down, not missing a shot and they went down easily.

After that I aimed at the remaining targets that I hadn't shot down, and began rapid firing. Not a single bullet went to waste and after they were all down, I walked casually to the finishing line. Everyone was quiet and shook, even Monoma nor Bakugo had anything to say. They weren’t even pissed that I surpassed them.

They were just completely and utterly shocked.

The whole time I was doing the little game, I didn’t feel a single moment where Shoto’s eyes weren’t on me, drinking in my figure. Just like now, Shoto was looking at me directly yet he was completely lost in his thoughts, a trace of some sort, then finally he broke out of it as I walked towards him and grabbed him by the wrist quickly. Not wasting a single second to power walk, heading towards the shed, dragging him along with me.

Once I was close to everyone that they got a good look at me, they immediately recognized it to be me and not Yaoyozorou, despite me wearing a full body suit and a tinted helmet. Since both classes knew who was dragging Shoto, they weren’t really surprised seeing as both me and Shoto were open about our relationship.

Despite all of that I could not only still feel Shoto’s eyes but I could also feel both Class 1-A and B’s eyes boring into the back of our heads but that was sort of expected after all I am dragging him to the shed. Who knows what we might do there?

The camp counselor also finally broke out of the trance and so he coughed, catching everyone’s attention, “Alright let’s start counting the points and picking up the BB’s. We’ll award the winner after that.”

In the shed

“Shoto! Go a bit slower and gentler! It hurts!” I moaned out in pain, tears coming out of my eyes.

“I know, I apologize. I didn’t mean for it to hurt, just stop squirming and it’ll hurt lesser.” He whispered gently into my ear

And no, get your mind out of the gutter. We weren't doing that in a shed. Once we got in the shed, I told Shoto I got hit by the BB’s multiple times and that it really hurts. He didn’t question anything else or spoke about what happened in the competition which I really appreciated.

Shoto turned around so that I could get changed out of the uniform and into my casual clothes, and he was also very sweet since he made sure that he wouldn’t turn around until I was finished. Once I was finished he inspected the damage caused by the BB’s.

“That’s gotta hurt. Are you sure there isn’t one anywhere else?” He kissed my forehead

“Mhm.” I hummed back a response

“Alright, may I?” He asked, grabbing some ointment from the first aid kid behind me.

“Yeah, sure.” I winced at the painful bruise

He lifted me onto the wooden table behind me and grabbed my thigh. Both of us blushing, carefully he put on the ointment on a cotton swab then applied it on my thigh where the bruise was. I hissed when it came into contact with which he kissed my cheek in comfort.

In the reality of all this I was over exaggerating and acting. I could handle this kind of pain as after years of rigorous training my pain tolerance increased. I was just making a big deal out of it so that Shoto would play nurse, which was hot to be honest and I have no regrets for my actions whatsoever. I mean I saw an opportunity so why would I not take it, it’d be such a waste don’t you think?

I didn’t want Shoto to worry too much so after he patched me right up, I gave up the act and gave him a kiss on the lips as a reward, mumbling compliments into his ears as a thank you. He blushed and stuttered which was super cute, so I quickly pulled out my phone and took a picture of him. Turning off my phone and shoving it into the back of my pocket before Shoto could protest and ask me to delete it.

“Like Hell am I going to delete that picture of you!” I screamed at him, standing on top of the table making sure he wasn’t able to reach my phone which I held up high.

“(Y/n), please.” He gave me puppy eyes, making me almost give in to his request.

“When Hell freezes over!”

In the end I won as Shoto was too smitten with me to even try to compete with me in this one. So I made his picture my wallpaper which made him really embarrassed. Once that was over, I knew I wasn’t off the hook with Shoto, I didn’t inform him about me being entered in the competition. So helping me off the table, he grabbed me by the waist and started to gently run his hair through my hair.

Sighing he began to speak in a low voice, “Next time be careful, I was really worried you know when I recognized it was you. Wasn’t it supposed to be Yaoyozorou?”

“It was, but Jirou didn’t want her to participate, said she could get hurt and so I took her place.” Shame and guilt laced my voice

“Yaoyozorou listened to Jirou’s request and yet you didn’t think about asking me?” By his voice and choice of words, you could clearly tell he was hurt.

“I didn’t think it through, I’ll consider your feelings next time I promise. I'm really sorry.” I snuggled into his chest and kissed his neck in apology.

“I know I also do stuff like that, that’s dangerous but I’m a guy and I don’t want to see my girl get hurt. You understand?” Placing his hand on my cheek, I nuzzled into it.

“I understand, but Sho… There’s something I gotta tell you… It’s about the one before.”

“As I said I won’t force-“

“You don’t get it!” I cried, “I don’t want to say it but it could affect our entire future…”

“As long as it’s not something like you cheating on me, or involving my dad. I think we’ll be fine.” He spoke out truthfully

“It doesn’t, it’s something much bigger than that… Before, I was also like you… Trained endlessly I mean…” He kept quiet and listened intently, “I used to get hurt a lot as well… And I…” I felt like crying and throwing up, “I don’t- can’t say the rest…” I cried into his shirt.

He spoke seriously this time, “I see, did anyone touch you in any way or did someone hurt you?”

“H-Hurt…” He sighed, immensely relieved that nobody touched you.

“Shh… You’re okay now.” He realized she was the same as he was, both broken but right in this moment he had to be strong for her.

He kept whispering sweet words into her ears. Making promises that he won’t let anyone hurt her anymore. After a while I stopped crying, letting him wipe away all of my tears and placed a kiss on my lips making me giggle.

“C’mon let’s go. They’ll be announcing the winners I’m sure. I’m sure that class A will win, especially with you on our side. Class B was great too but we had more experience. Our scores were close though initially before you got to play, after you played I’m sure we’ll win by a landslide… You were awesome back there, you know? In the overall winners as well, you’ll pass everyone, even me. You’ll win first place” He spoke with a smile

And Shoto was right, I did win. My time was the shortest among all and I hit all the targets with a bullseye. Making class 1-A the winners by a landslide but I still won first place exactly like Shoto said, making Monoma pissed.

We called it good game and everyone headed to the main hall. With Bakugo boasting about it the whole time, being the little son of a bitch that he was. Making Monoma so pissed at our class, which resulted in him receiving a karate chop to the neck by none other than Kendo.

Flashback

The first night at the camp wasn’t that peaceful for everyone, in fact there was someone who was having a really rough time. He was called out by one of the camp counselors, he wasn’t sure which one since there were so many and they just met. But the camp counselor wanted to discuss something… Something about him becoming the leader for this whole trip or something along those lines. He of course accepted, seeing this as an opportunity to flex on Todoroki’s face and perhaps just maybe enough to steal his girlfriend.

Crickets were sounding off in every corner and the sounds of twigs breaking upon his foot crushing them, gave him an unsettling feeling in the pits of his stomach. It didn’t help that he heard a wolf howling in the distance. Nakamura Haru, the cashier from before who flirted with Todoroki’s girlfriend, was the name of the boy currently walking through the dark forest.

He held his flashlight tightly in his fist and brought his jacket closer to him. It was cold but he shook away those thoughts, concentrating on the task at hand. In all honesty he was scared and wanted this all to be over, recalling why the Hell did he even agree to coming out here because now he’s regretting ur so badly. The instructions the camp counselor gave him over the phone weren't difficult to understand, more so it was difficult to follow as he tread through the forest.

The building of the camp was forest surrounding most of the area and the cabins were put in that area. Meanwhile the main hall/building was put on the other end of the cabins. Maybe a 5 minute walk around for you to get to the main hall from the cabins.

In front of the cabins though, behind many trees was the lake and behind them were the activities area and further behind that was the forest which a mountain overlooked above it. Now the camp counselor called Nakamura to go to their office, but of course it was on top of the mountain.

"Great, just great.” He muttered a curse underneath his breath.

He didn’t think that the walk from the cabins to the camp counselors office would take so long. Like aren’t their offices and cabins supposed to be near them? Aren’t they supposed to be looking out at them? Then again he’s never been to camp before so he doesn’t really know.

He kept complaining inside his mind about how he was already tired from walking as it’s been around 30 minutes already and he hasn’t even reached the mountain yet. ‘This is to make (L/n), think you’re cool! So don’t pussy out! Plus this will look great in your record if you become the leader!’ He tried to motivate himself.

The moon hung above him and despite the many trees obscuring his vision of the moon. It Didn't matter as it still shone brightly, lighting the way to his path besides from the obvious flashlight he was carrying. 15 more minutes went by and he finally reached the foot of the mountain. After walking that much distance he was definitely going to ask the camp counselors if they could drive him back to the cabins.

He was definitely not going to walk all the way there back again, especially knowing that the camp counselors drove a black jeep towards their office. He kept on huffing, trying to catch his breath and his feet were killing him. The hike surely tired him out.

But despite that he didn’t waste any time on standby. The lighting and stuff were even creepier here than when he was still inside the forest. The eree light that came out of the lamp stand was swarmed by flies and other insects. Yet it didn’t fail to illuminate the creepy ass elevator which would take him up to the mountain, where both the camp counselors office and cabins were placed at.

The speakers that were attached to the lamp post suddenly came to life, “Head right up, Nakamura.”

He was so surprised at that since it was so sudden that he almost fell on his own ass. He assumed there were security cameras somewhere but he couldn’t find them as he looked around his surroundings. The sounds of crickets and other insects intensified and he didn’t like it one bit, so he shook his head at those previous thoughts and proceeded to press on the arrow up button for the elevator.

“Tsk, hurry up…” His foot rapidly tapped on the ground in frustration and a bit of fear.

The sound of the elevator came alive and began its descent to the ground. Once it arrived he had no hesitation in going inside it the moment its doors opened, almost running. The elevator was big and old fashioned. It was exposed too, not built inside the mountain. The thing covering it was mesh wires, it honestly looked a bit unstable, but stable enough that it wouldn’t collapse.

He didn’t dare to look down, instead concentrating on closing his eyes and tuning out the unsettling sound of the elevator which screeched as the wheel mechanisms above them worked hard to pull them up. He was starting to think that all of this wasn’t worth it, regretting not declining the offer given to him on the phone.

Once he arrived on top of the mountain, he quickly got out and ran to the camp counselors office, knocking harshly on the door. Once he was ushered inside he was greeted by another camp counselor which he didn’t recognize until he got a closer look. It was one of the camp counselors that was a girl and had red hair which was placed in a tight bun.

That wasn’t the camp counselor who spoke on the phone, it was the brunette guy. He asked the counselor if he was going to be discussing the position with her or the brunette camp counselor, however instead of a proper reply, he received a cup of hot chocolate. He was very grateful for it, just the thing he needed to cheer up from the stress from before.

Taking a sip immediately, he didn’t even notice the slight metallic smell the drink had…

“This tastes weird…” He slurred

“I-I feel aw-awful…” He lost his grip on the mug, feeling to dizzy

“Boys get him, we have orders to follow.” The red head spoke as 3 umbrella corporation men gathered around Nakamura.

“Eh- Wha-t!! Are you g-going to do to m-me!” He screamed before finally knocking unconscious…

He woke up with a jolt finding himself locked in the middle of a white room, with nothing in it. Except for 2 doors which were placed opposite of each other and didn’t have any handles on it and a two way mirror which was only on one side of the room. He was a bit droopy, just now waking up, but then when the memories of what had happened returned to him. He began to panic, his throat becoming dry as he yelled and begged for them to release him.

Crying at this point, he looked at the mirror and kneeled down, begging pathetically to let him go. Then when he thought it had worked, the speakers in the corner of the room came to life.

“Who is (L/n) (Y/n)?” He didn’t recognize the deep voice that came out.

“Please! I don’t know anything! She’s just my batch mate! If you wanted information, you should have gone after her boyfriend, Todoroki Shoto! The guy with red and white hair and a big scar on his face!” He sniffed and stuttered in between his words.

“We could have, however… We aren’t looking for him just yet, we need to receive information about (L/n) first. Are you willing to cooperate?”

“Yes, anything please! Just let me go!”

“Good then.”

They began to question a lot of specific things about (L/n) and despite liking her, he gave out all of her information to them without any hesitation, effectively betraying her and placing her in harm's way. He was extremely guilty and upset with himself, but he was just human. He was weak, and no matter what happens he would always choose to save himself over others, no matter his relationship with them.

“Alright, that’s all.” The voice said

“Can I please go back now?” He asked fearfully

“Yes, but make sure you won’t tell anyone this or we’ll have to permanently shut you up.” He gulped loudly at that, body trembling in fear.

“O-Okay…” More tears began to flow down

The door opened in front of him. This was his chance to escape! He ran to it before a creature came out of it. It looks like a human girl, or more like looked like. Whatever it was, was not human at least not anymore. It smelled of rotting flesh and it looked like it was decomposing. It barely held up and its eyes were white with red veins surrounding it. Its clothes were torn and had lots of blood on it.

It was a monster and he was going to die. The creature groaned and screeched in rage as it saw its prey.

“What the Hell is that?!” He cried, backing up into the corner before looking at the security camera, begging them to spare his life.

No response came and instead the monster ran and lunged at him. He barely managed to jump out of the way, but was not able to avoid sustaining any injuries. It scratched at his side. It was a running game and he was going to lose. He knew it, he’s not going to get out of this alive.

The monster eventually managed to catch the boy and pin him down. Opening his mouth to bite at his neck, blood rushed from the area and he cried out. Bits of blood running down his mouth. Despite his weak nature, he mustered all his strength and hit the monster in the face. Ripping off a bit of his flesh and began to swallow it.

Evidence of what just happened was evident on the monster's mouth which dropped blood. His blood. The boy who didn’t know it yet, was going to turn exactly into that monster soon if not given an antidote. The other door that was previously closed opened up and he bolted for it. The white glowing hallway was extremely long but he didn’t dare to stop and catch his breath.

The pain was excruciating but he had to focus on getting out now before the monster could go after him. Once he arrived at the end of the hallway he began to pound his fist on the high tech door. Hoping, begging that it would open. Alas when the monster ran out of the room to chase after him.

He lost all hope. Crying so much he knelt down and prayed to God that he would somehow survive this and get out. His prayer was answered. When the monster began to approach him, red lasers which suddenly appeared out of the walls ran straight through the monster, effectively cutting it in half.

However that didn’t stop the monster, with its lower body missing it used its hands to crawl towards the boy. And so the laser came back and occupied everything in space and finally killed off the monster. Unlike before when the laser disappeared once its achieved its goal, this time it didn’t and was nearing the boy.

“Shit!” Nakamura Haru, cursed, clenched his bleeding neck, blood still sleeping through.

Once the laser was one centimeter away from his face did it stop and disappear. He felt like he could breathe again and thanked the Gods that he managed to survive. The door behind him opened to reveal that he was at the bottom of the mountain.

So he dashed towards the cabins not stopping for anything until he was able to sneak back in and do first aid on his injury. He didn’t dare to tell anyone about what had happened, the threat of them silencing him if he dared to expose them was floating in his panicked mind. Taking a shower, he changed into a pair of PJ's and crashed into his bed before looking at his phone only to find out that it was 3:47 AM. Sleep and exhaustion finally overcame him, as the last bits of adrenaline left his body.

The next day came and he wasn’t feeling too great, he informed his classmates and teachers that he was having a stomach ache and so he would stay in the cabins all day. For the most part he kept to his word, thanking his friends when they dropped him off some food. Well he didn’t keep to his word when he felt too shitty.

He kept on throwing up and he had a fever, he felt too weak to even get up on the bed. The bite from last night wasn’t healing as well, instead it was getting worse as each minute passed by.

Then the next thing he knew, he was out of it. He closed his eyes and his heartbeat slowed down until it eventually reached a stop…

He had died…

But he didn’t stay dead…
