Chapter Text
They were all screaming, chanting, waiting for it to happen…they were all waiting for one thing, for me to die..I can’t die here. It's not right for me to just let them burn me. It's not fair, It’s. Not. Fair. IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S NOT FAIR “IT'S NOT FAIR” I screamed catching everyone’s attention as they set fire to my feet, I screamed “IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I DIE FOR NOTHING” I started crying, I didn’t deserve any of this I did nothing wrong “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO AN INNOCENT PERSON” I screamed at them as they started throwing wood and lit torches at me to make me die faster, what horrid people that I once loved and cared for but then he came into view the man who can save me he’s riding in on his white horse with his guards with him..he’s coming closer yes yes YES YES HE'S COME TO SAVE ME I won’t die here, those were the pitiful thoughts I had as I looked at him smiling as he walked up the steps to untie me I thought but no, how could that bastard of a prince ever come and untie me in front of all his people, he came over and fueled the fire….he added a lot of it, it was so painful, not just the fire but the heartbreak the man i’ve given everything to tried to kill me just to keep his image up. I didn’t die that day, obviously but I haven’t been the same since then but the boy who saved me has been very kind to me since then, he came in and swept me away after freeing my arms and legs with arrows, and not swooped as in he came from the ground but he literally swooped in and saved me because he’s one of the kingdoms worst enemies, he’s a harpy and actually one of the most feared for his agility and is recognized by his orange wings and hair, he’s pretty energetic and annoying but oh well he’s my savior and the only person I can rely on now well I guess beside his friend akaashi who I can lean on sometimes but he’s from another clan so I don’t get to see him as much as i’d like. “KENMA” yelled shoyo flying into our little hut in a tree “yes shoyo?” I asked looking up from my book that I just started “the other humans are her again demanding you” he said looking at me worriedly, right I forgot to mention that not just burning my body almost to the point of unrecognizability they’ve also been coming to shoyo’s home everyday demanding me for two years straight which is honestly stupid like give up already you stupid asshole “what should we do?” asked shoyo looking at me “do exactly what we always do, tell them I died from my injuries” I said kinda annoyed that he came to ask me cause he hasn’t done that since the first few times “well uhm that’s the problem, they say if I don’t give them your bones they’ll kill us all and break the contract between us” he said nervously which just made me sigh, god kuroo first you break my heart and burn me and now you demand my bones for proof that i’m not a witch, that’s his excuse for needing my bones but it’s obviously a farce he just wants them so he can show how much of a good leader he is, seriously what a prick how did I even love someone like that always working towards his goal and willing to crush anything and anybody to get to it “do you have an idea?” asked shoyo worriedly as he fiddled with his fingers “yeah I do” I said getting up and grabbing my things that i’ve acquired over the years “what are you doing??” asked shoyo curiously “leaving” I said bluntly
“WHAT!?” yelled shoyo surprised “WHY???” he asked taking my things out of my hands and holding them tightly “because if I stay you’ll just be put in more danger and now your entire clan is in danger, shoyo i’ll be fine on my own” I said walking around the hut and grabbing the rest of my things “i’ll only let you go if I come to” said shoyo making me whip around and look at him surprised and a bit angry “what the fuck, no” I said in a harsher tone than I wished “yes I am! You can’t go on your own and i’ll be kicked out anyways for endangering them anyways” he said glaring at me because he knew he was right making me groan “fine but after your sure I can survive on my own you leave” I say which he agreed to thankfully and gave me my stuff as he started packing his stuff I stood guard at our little window that you can look through perfectly fine but the people outside can’t see inside, I watched as kuroo and his men climb the steep mountain to get to us, every step he took sent a shiver down my spine, he's coming closer and closer, he’s gonna catch me and then he’ll drench me in oil and set me ablaze again along with shoyo, he’s gonna kill us….”kenma?” asked shoyo looking at me curiously “hm?” I asked looking at him
“You we’re shaking” he said calmly as he looked at me sympathetically, I hate it when that happens to be honest, not shoyo’s sympathy but the fact that I have these moments when the trauma really gets to me luckily this was pretty minor but it still makes me feel awful afterwards because it’s such a dreadful feeling “are you ready?” asked shoyo dragging me out of my thoughts for a bit. “Yeah,” I said standing up and going to our back door before I heard him… I froze as I turned around to see him standing at the entrance to the hut, a huge cocky grin and the look of victory in his eyes as he held a dagger to shoyo’s throat “hey kitten” he said smiling so sadistically at me “kenma?” said shoyo shaking me out of the hallucination “did it happen again?” he asked, looking at me “uh yeah…” I said looking away and continuing to walk towards the door as I thought of all the shit I have to go through thanks to the trauma I have of that awful day, I hate hallucinating especially about him.
