______________________
A world where 80% of the population had Voex and the remaining 20% were deemed useless. What could go wrong? The moment people had such powers they rose in status really quick. They had a peaceful life. They got whatever they want. But, what about those who didn't had such powers? Were they deemed useless?..a discarded waste?...
I dont know. I never knew. This world is cursed. But in reality it is the other way around..i am cursed aren't I?.
When i was about 4 years old, i got my first Voex. It was...rather an unpleasant memory. From that moment my parenst didnt even care to glance at me. Why? I didnt know.
Whenever i use my quirk i would see creepy things from the corner of my eyes. But when i look around, they would be gone. Sometimes i would hear weird sounds under the bed, from the window, the storage room, it was everywhere. I couldn't escape it.
Then i never used my quirk ever again. It was...giving me weird feelings...like..someone grabbing me and pulling me inside the dept of darkness.
I tried to talk about it to my parents, they simply chose to ignore me.
Sometimes when i go to the kitchen i would see them lying on the floor of our living room. I don't know why though. But i never called out to them. I would just leave them there going to my room.
It had been days since the last time i got out. And it has been ages since the last time someone visited us. I never saw anyone entering our house.
But i didn't care. I would sit in my room for hours, talking with my dolls, drawing on the paper, or just trying to sleep. Whenever i step out of my room my parents would give me weird stares. It was scary.
I never felt hunger.
Then soon enough my 7th birthday was approaching. I was not very enthusiastic about it. It has been 2 years since the last time we celebrated my birthday.
I wouldn't talk to anyone at school neither do they talk to me. They were...weird. They always gave me a kind of look. Pity? I dont know why.
I would stare out the window most of the time. But there was a friend of mine in the class. His name was..Iroku...He seems to be very kind. I never knew why he would talk with me.
ᴘʀᴇsᴇɴᴛ ᴛɪᴍᴇ; ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ ᴘᴏᴠ;
It was just another day. I woke up quite early, well i couldn't sleep. I had another nightmare again. I forgot what nightmare was it.
I went to my bathroom to freshen up, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, then got ready for school. I looked at the wall clock; 7:15, quite early.
I entered the kitchen, on my way i found my parents again sitting on the sofa this time.
I ignored them, they won't even look at me.
I ate a toast then packed my bento, carrying my back, i exited my home.
"Bye ma...pa." I said before leaving for school. It was a shory walk.
As i was walking i felt someone staring at me from behind. I quickly turned around to find nothing. I shook the feeling off as i set my way to the school.
As i entered the classroom, i saw a person at the corner of the class. It was all black, with wide white eyes, staring right back at me. I ignored it, going to my seat i sat down. Soon enough more students came. I tuned out their voices and stared outside through the window.
"Y/N-chan!" I turned around to see who was calling me. "Iroku." I simply stated.
"Good morning, Y/N-chan!"
Then he started talking about video games he always plays. Which game even is that...? I chose not to ask as i listened to his ramblings. I saw the person from the corner of the class move.
"Hah! Look at that! Two discarded trash talking with each other!" A boy shouted while laughing. I had no reaction. I turned to Iroku, he looked....sad? But there was anger too. "Will you shut up?" I said in a low voice but loud enough for them to hear.
"What did you say b*tch?!" The person slammed his hand on my desk as he looked at me with rage in his eyes.
I never took in his details. I didnt even know who this person was....well rather it seems like i always forget. He is the one who always bully me. How can i forget? The blond hair, dark green eyes, Ryuka.
"Seems like you need another lesson, huh?" He then grabbed me by my collar bringing me close to his face.
"L-let her go, Ryuka!" Iroku tried to pry his hands off of me but got pushed to the side by Ryuka's subordinates instead. Then he dragged me outside the school at the back of our school. At the usual place. I didn't fight back. Why?...why can't i fight back?..i don't know myself.
Iroku probably went to get the teachers. But it would be too late by then.
"No one can save you now! It seems you always forget about my punishment, huh? But dont worry. I will be always there to remind you what kind of a lowly trah you are!" He began laughing as he took a hold of my wrist grabbing it reakly tight until bruises formed.
"Still wont fight back?heh, that only makes things easier"
My fingers twitch a bit as i stared at him blankly.
Now i remember, he spread a false rumour about me dating him. So, whenever he would drag me through the hallway no one would suspect him. Well it was foolishness of him...and mine too. I would never fight back which only added to the rumour. And the punishment was always cruel.
I don't want to do it again.
[Skip if uncomfortable; mention of being forced]
As his grip on my wrist tightened i felt him pushing me onto the nearby wall, traping me. I wanted to push him away but the shadows won't let me.
"Ryuka...don't do this." I finally spoke up.
"What did you say?! Ha...Hahaha..! Finally fighting back?" He let out another laugh as he closed his distance to me.
"You don't get to order me around." He said sternly. I brought up my other free hand to push him away, but he caught my hand. His grip tightening more. My hands were turning blue from how tightly he his hold was.
Then suddenly i could feel his lips pressed against mine as he tries to enter my mouth. My eyes widen as i closed my mouth tightly.
I tried to move away but he pinned me to a fic place. My heart punding on my chest. I try to use my Voex but he cancels it quickly with his own. I was scared yet again. I cluldn't do anything.
Iroku..
Iroku?..
I saw him standing against the corner of the wall as he just stands there with some cash on his hands as he watched me being forced.
Why?
Why.
I felt Ryuka chuckle. "Aw...baby are you sad..? What did you thought? You would have a friend? But don't worry..you have me." I let out another laugh as he force my mouth open. I couldn't feel anything as i watch Iroku walking away as he turned around, his back facing me.
How foolish of me.
After sometime, 15 minutes to be exact, Ryuka left as he gave a warning,"don't you dare tell anyone i forced you..or you shall face he consequences."
As he left i sat on the ground, my uniform disheveled, neck exposed. I couldn't even cry. Should i laugh or cry?...
I guess i should be grateful he didn't do anything more than just kissing and leaving hickeys behind.
[Skip upto here; uncomfortable scene ends]
Taking a deep breath, fixing my uniform before leaving for class.
The class already started.
"May i come in,sir?" I asked as i looked down.
"Class already started. Where were you?"
I didn't answer. He gave an angry look beforw throwing a book at me. I barely caught it as it hit my head.
"Next time you reach late, whatever the reason. You will face my wrath. Understood?!now get in!"
I nod as i went to my seat ignoring the stares especially the person looking at me with guilt. I sat down as the class went on. The shadow hands scratching on my legs leaving marks.
The day went on as time flewrather quickly.
The day came to an end. I quitely packed my bag as i felt someone coming towards me.
"Y/n...I-"
I ignored him as i walked pass by him.
He stopped me as he stood infront of me.
"Please Y/N listen to me! I am sorry ok?..i didn't do it purposely-"
The person tried to explain as i simply ignored him.
"Hey, Iroku!" We turned our heads to see Ryuka standing near the classroom door.
"You actually did a great job luring her, heh"
"Don't listen to him Y/N! Please believe me!...Y/N?.."
I didn't answer as i just walked pass him.
"Now that your job is done, you can stop talking to her. She has me." Ryuka gave a blank stare at Iroku before trailing behind me.
"Can..you please stop following me..?" I said in a low voice but he could hear it just fine.
"Now that i am your boyfriend, i have to ensire your safety ofcourse." He replied nonchalantly now walking beside me.
The walk to my home was quite. As we reached my house i stopped. "You can go now.."
"You still live here? I heard there's are dead corps there." He joked as he looked at me.
I stared back. But not at him but to the thing behind him.
Soon Ryuka went off to his home as i walked back in. I changed into my normal clothes as i freshen up, following my usual evening/night routines before going to sleep.

[Voex]
In this story this word will be used multiple times. It literally means power. When the war ended a kind of disease was spread across lands, it gave different kinds of powers to men.
If you have watched MHA [my hero academia] then Voex are just like quirks!
