Chapter 20

"I like you Todoroki", I stared expectantly at the handsome boy. His eyes narrowed in what could be contempt mixed with disgust.

"I don't date villains."

I woke up panting. Sweat surrounding me. What was that? I chuckled in disbelief and then started laughing.

What was that dream? I suddenly started to feel a choking sensation. Tears slowly spilt and I wiped them fast.

————-

It was finally time for the USJ trial of rescue.

My arm was clenched by an excited invisible girl.

"Ahhh I can't believe thirteen is here!", she squealed I could hear Izuku getting flustered as thirteen gave her speech.

I, myself, heard a lot about thirteen, but my mind couldn't help but ponder on the dream I had. I was silent on my way to school and Todoroki seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He asked yet all I could do was shake my head at him.

I sighed.

"El I asked Aizawa to put us in the same group", came a cold voice next to me. I jumped slightly at hearing it and then forcefully relaxed myself but it was too late. He noticed. His eyes glanced at my tense shoulders in wonder.

"Ok", I smiled back. It was forced but it was a smile.

Thinking about it Aizawa would probably not even listen to him and we'd end up in different groups. It seemed after that alarm had gone off all the teachers were more tense than usual for some reason and Todoroki was the one who noticed these things.

Suddenly a portal opened out of thin air and villains began pouring out. I stared at the situation stunned unable to process what was going on.

W-was this part of the class?

The villains were muttering among themselves and one proposed that if they kill us Almight will show up.

Aizawa said something to Thirteen and then began leading the villains elsewhere.

Todoroki grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him. Holding my shoulder with his other hand.

"T-Todoroki if you hold onto me I won't be able to"- I was cut off during our escape as the domineering voice came from a black portal being thing???

He said he was part of the league of villains and they were going to kill Almight. Goosebumps spread all over me.

Bakugo and kirishima ran at him to attack but they were deflected easily and then quickly black matter surrounded us. Todorokis grip on me disappeared.

And somebody else replaced him, someone unknown, whose skin texture was dry and flaky. The unknown person had long uncut nails and until I could finally see my surroundings did he start speaking.

"Ella Kagarashi we finally meet", he whispered in a cracking voice. I shivered as I finally understood the situation.

I tried wrenching his arm of me but he started squeezing it until I heard bones clicking.

"So weak... you better not try escaping before a destroy your whole arm", he threatened bringing his face into my field of view.

I gasped. His face was covered with a hand and horrendously cut bangs.

"That's right that look of horror is perfect. Ella "Kagarashi", I held my breath involuntarily as I stared at him in horror. This man understood more about my quirk than normal people not only that but he knew exactly who I was.

"What do you want?!", it was definitely a challenge to stop time in this situation. His grip on me was tight and he really wasn't letting go otherwise this wouldn't have even happened.

"Why to show you "princess" why you should join us villains", he smiled. It was shaded out and his face wrinkled. I couldn't understand this person. They seemed so young but appeared much older.

"Piss off", I spat at him, "if your looking to recruit me then you really made a bad choice!", I shouted as I wrenched myself away from him.

He squeezed my arm even harder leaving me gasping and heaving in pain.

"Recruiting someone gives them a choice sorry darling but you haven't got a choice here!", he said as he wrapped his arms around me to secure his grip on me and he breathed on my shoulder grossly.

I finally realised that their was an audience in front of me. People were tied up, at least ten of them and I recognised all of them. The faces from my nightmares. Tied, gagged and beaten.

They looked at me with a pleading look in their eyes and my heart instantly steeled. Anger surged within me.

"That's right Ella. The world really tormented you and your poor mother who got beaten just for giving birth to you".... I felt my body shaking in rage my vision turning red.

"By them! So go!  Torment them all you like! This is your chance!", his voice whispered sweetly fanning the flames of my rage with oil.

I stepped out of his grasp towards the trembling group of people and smiled in satisfaction at their state.

"Do you remember when you threw stones at my mother for buying groceries at the local store?", memories flashed vividly in my mind of my mother in a bloodied state barely on her feet and as I stared across faces more surfaced.

"Do you remember burning our home down?".

"Do your remember killing my brother!", I screamed the last one and then suddenly froze. My brother? I didn't have- memories of a young baby boy flashed before me. He had a fever? ... yes and then... the doctors office ... we went there and they rejected treating him.

I felt my legs loose their will to stand. I completely forgot about my brother. My poor little brother.

My fist clenched as hot tears spilt down my face.

"I'll kill you all!", I screamed as I ran at them one tried to jump away but I pushed them down onto the ground before they could escape.

"Kagarashi what the hell are you doing!", I heard a shout coming from nearby and my head turned. It was Aizawa, he was in battle among other villains and faced me with a stern glare.

Reality hit me. "They will try to shake your morals" Endeavors voice vibrated through the my head. He shook my morals. I thought I was strong... I thought nothing could shake me.

I turned to look at the now irritated boy behind me. But he managed to shake me.
