𝐀/𝐍: Hey guys this is my first attempt at a fun holiday themed event writing project! I’m not too used to writing scary things so the first few in this series might not be the best but I’m gonna learn as I go! I’m a little behind on these as I’ve been sick recently but I will get caught up as soon as I can! xoxo Happy Halloween!!
As you walked through the city on this chilly autumn afternoon with your internship crew it felt like any other October day. The breeze nipped your cheeks as it blew, you shivered. “Cold?” Your classmate, Kirishima asked you.
“Hm.. a bit” you breathe into your cupped palms before rubbing them together “Though I can imagine you’re colder than I am” you laugh at your friends hero costume exposing all his skin.
“Well what can I say?” He playfully flexes “No point in all those layers with a quirk like mine” he adds nudging you and you softly laugh in response before turning to new pro hero, former third year, Tamaki Amajiki.
“You cold, Suneater? Sun water…” you and Kirishima laugh at the inside joke between the three of you. Last year when you first met Amajiki you and Kirishima had seriously asked him if he could turn into water if he drank it… very awkward. But hey, it’s an inside joke now!
Just then, as Amajiki groaned at the name you two gave him, your mentor, fatgum, walks back from the food stall he was at “Got the goods!” He grins at you three. He proceeds to pass out the food he grabbed for you guys.
“Meat skewers for Red” he hands them to Kirishima. “Squid for Suneater” he passes to Amajiki.
“(Name)… you sure you didn’t want anything?” He asks curiously while eating the warm soup he grabbed for himself.
“I ate a big lunch” you laugh and reassure him. “If I eat anything else I’ll explode” my joke causes Kirishima to burst out laughing as the four of you patrol the city streets “Bro I can just picture you exploding!” He cackles.
“What is wrong with you?!” You start laughing hard, now picturing it. Yeah, this is how most internship days go for you guys. FatGum getting food, Amajiki wanting to be anywhere else but here, and Kirishima and you laughing about anything and everything.
As the other three continue to eat and converse you see something up ahead, someone you’ve seen before out on this route of patrol, unmistakably a villain… loading up an attack in his palms towards an unsuspecting civilian.
Without thinking, you sprint, boots clacking on the pavement before jumping in to grab the civilian. You miscalculated the timing. As you grabbed the shaking civilian and pulled them away from danger the blast of light directly at your face, meant for the civilian.
It shatters the clear blue visor that was protecting your eyes as you’re in front of it and the innocent civilians.
You can’t see. All you can hear is the commotion around you as the internal panic sets in. You can’t see a thing. Everything is so loud. Your ears are ringing.
“Oh my god I can’t see-!” You panic catching the attention of Kirishima as FatGum contained the villain with ease before he could do anymore unknown damage.
“What?” You hear his voice suddenly close making you flinch in response. “I can’t…” you frantically turn your head in every direction, heaving the overwhelming amount of noise with no vision to accompany it. “I think I’m blind!” You shriek in a panicked voice at the overstimulating environment.
You practically jump out of my skin when you feel a hand on your arm accompanied by a voice you’re unfamiliar with “Miss…” someone says “I’m a paramedic” he says “Can I help you?” He asks but before you could answer, you feel yourself fade into a dark fainting episode, overwhelmed by it all.
When your mind comes to, you feel your eyes flutter open… with continuous darkness. You head the beeping of the monitors on your left and the scratchy hospital blanket you weren’t unfamiliar with. And then voices murmuring one familiar and one you didn’t recognize.
“12-24 hours” you hear the unfamiliar voice mumbling accompanied by FatGums understanding commentary.
“Hello?” You call out in confusion, not knowing where they were standing when suddenly you hear a curtain opening.
“Hey there, rookie” It’s fatgum “Ya feelin’ alright?” He asks, his voice getting closer to you from the right.
“Uh…” you whip your head to the direction you hear him coming “Maybe?” You say in a confused voice “I think I’m blind… forever” you say in a hushed dramatic tone, trying to make light of the situation.
“Not forever” Another familiar voice says, followed by the sound of the curtain opening, your teacher, Mr. Aizawa. “12-24 hours. It’s temporary blindness. An effect of that man’s quirk.”
You nod slowly, unsure of where to look “Did any civilians get hurt?” You ask like the hero in training you are.
“No, just you” Kirishima’s voice rings from your left. “Shima?” You smile and turn your head to your left. “I didn’t know you were in here” you laugh “Where’s sun-water?”
Kirishima laughs at that “He’s with the police filing the reports, I was just there but I thought I should come check on you” he claims.
As the doctor comes back in everyone listens to the information they’ve collected from quirk testing. “You should be just fine within the next 12-24 hours” He says. “Until then, you’re alright to head back to UA, no patrolling for the next 72 hours and keep an eye out for any changes”
“Heh… ‘keep an eye out’ haha..” you laugh making Kirishima stifle his own next to you upon earning a glare from Mr. Aizawa.
The drive back to the dorms was silent. You couldn’t see so it was just you alone with your thoughts and the sounds around you. Plus, Mr. Aizawa isn’t very talkative.
Upon arrival to heights alliance, he stopped the car out front. “Don’t move” he gruffly spoke before shutting off the car and walking to your side to help you walk to the building.
His hands on your shoulders guiding you to the front door “Step up-! Watch the ice!” He tried to direct you but of course, you foot missed and you nearly tripped on the ledge and semi slipped on the ice, unable to see the ledge. He was quick to grab your shoulders tighter “Okay..” he heavily sighed before just picking you up and walking you the rest of the way into the building.
As soon as the door was opened you heard an overwhelming amount of voices all saying your name, it was your classmates. The noise was so much more overwhelming without your vision, you quickly cover your ears.
“Quit!” Aizawa told them all sternly before directing Mina to walk you to your room and get you settled. “She needs to sleep” he tells her before handing you off to her.
It was all a blur. One minute you were sleeping the next, you jolted awake. You didn’t even remember falling asleep. All you knew was that your throat was dry and you needed to gulp some water. You stuck your hand out to the left where your nightstand is, feeling around trying to find the water bottle you usually have next to you when you sleep. But you couldn’t find it.
You let out a sigh of frustration at the inconvenience. You feel around the bed for your phone, touching and feeling around the plush blankets for the device, maybe you could use the voice activator to call someone. You knew your good friend and classmate, Shinsou was usually up at this hour… whatever hour it was…
You couldn’t seem to find it, wondering if you even brought your bag in from Aizawa’s car. You let out a groan at this whole situation. All you wanted was some damn water.
Frustrated, figuring you could find your way out on your own if you just kept contact with the walls or something you swung your legs over the side of your bed and went to get up. Too fast. You slipped on the comforter hanging slightly off the bed that you couldn’t see. Hitting the ground with a loud thud on the hardwood floor.
“Fuck-!” You say sharply as it all happened so fast. Suddenly you see something, which is odd because you haven’t been able to see this whole time. Only, it’s not what you want to see…
Your vision looks like that channel on the tv that doesn’t work, all staticky… with an outline of a shadowy figure. You feel your eyes widen. It’s breathing. Scratching the wall of your room. “Ah, Kuroiro!” You laugh to yourself, assuming it’s probably that kid from class b playing a joke on you. “No” you laugh to yourself “I’m terrible for that..” you giggle at your own stupidity.
“Oh fuck…” is all that comes out of your mouth as the creature turns it’s head in a 180 around to look at you. White eyes. Claws. Sharp disoriented teeth covered in what you assume to be blood. It comes walking towards you, the floor boards creaking beneath its… feet..?
The scream you let out was involuntary. You got your vision halfway back and now there’s this demon coming at you.
Suddenly you’re hyper aware of every noise in the building. The footsteps coming towards your door. The creaking of your door opening followed by a voice “(Name)?!” It’s Jirou, your room neighbor. “You fell?” Her voice is present. But it’s not her. When you look up, another one. Another one of the creatures that you saw in your corner. But with… Jirou’s voice?
You’re frozen in place, mouth agape. Is this real? You can see your room. You can see these creatures.
The creature with her voice began to walk towards you. Scrambling to get up, tangled up in the blanket you tripped over you begin to freak out. “Stay back!” You warn “Get away!”
Suddenly the voice that was supposed to be Jirou’s turned scratchy, low pitched. “But why?” The creature spoke as it got closer. You scream and scramble as you dodge it out the door of your room.
The hallway was lit green and blue, disoriented in shape. You blink and suddenly, the original creature in the corner is gone. But the one that had Jirou’s voice is still blinking at you with its claws and sharp teeth present.
Suddenly, another voice behind you. Mina. “Girl, what’s wrong?” She reached out a hand to put on your shoulder. But to you, the hand on your shoulder was freezing cold. Slender. You felt the claws on your collarbone.
You freeze, goosebumps pricked your skin. You slowly turn your head around only to see another creature towering over you. Sharp blood stained teeth. White eyes.
You let out a shrill shriek in horror, sprinting away from the creature, disguised with Mina’s voice.
As you sprint down the hallway it’s dizzying. The floors are warped. Walls twisting, floorboards creaking.
One by one, your classmates on your floor started coming out of their rooms one by one. You heard their voices behind you. The air is thick with horror as your breathing starts to turn to hyperventilating as you run towards the elevator, trying not to trip through the disoriented hallway you’re seeing.
Scratching of nails is heard behind you as what were once your classmates voices turn to that low pitched, raspy demonic sound. All calling for your name.
You frantically approach the elevator pressing the button as fast as you can. It finally opens after five very long seconds. You frantically step in closing the doors with the button as fast as you can.
As the elevator door closes you see the creatures walking towards you. The door closes just in time. You finally breathe a sigh of relief as the elevator looks normal. Nothing like the disoriented hallway you just ran through.
As it slowly makes it’s way downstairs, the lights flicker a bit. Nothing out of the ordinary for these elevators.
You glance to your left and catch your own reflection in the reflective glass on the wall. But… it’s not you…
The girl in the mirror smiles wide, way too wide to be normal. The eyes are pitch black. Your eyebrows furrow at the reflection of yourself. You moved your elbow involuntarily. Completely by accident, a twitch, if you will. But it happened to your reflection two seconds later.
Your breathing picked up as the elevator approached the first floor. Your reflection, it waved at you before emerging from the mirror just as the elevator opened. The scream you let out was ghastly as you bolted through the open elevator doors.
Freezing as you saw the common area. Blood all over the walls. The air smelt metallic and rusty. Windows shattered. Glass all over the floor.
And then, you heard it. Shinsou. “(Name)?” His lazy voice rang from the kitchen as he faced the counter. He looked… normal..? Just like he usually did.
“Shinsou!” You gasp “You have to help me!” You plea approaching him in the lit up, seemingly normal looking kitchen.
Just as you got closer, his head started to spin slowly towards you, body still facing the counter. Your heart jumped as you saw him. Normal faced, pitch black eyes, mouth that had been sewn shutdowns ripped open, blood on his face and teeth sharp, stained with blood.
Frozen in place is what you were. You couldn’t move. Feet planted to the ground.
“(Name)?” Shinsou’s voice became lower and raspier “What’s wrong?” He started stalking towards you, head twisting abnormally.
The scream that came from your chest was ear splitting as you stumbled backwards. Fumbling to get off the ground as cold wind blew at your face through the broker windows.
You nearly slipped on the hardwood as you bolted up, running for the front door as you saw the creatures from upstairs exiting the elevator.
“Get away from me!” You shriek as you pick up a jagged edge of glass from one of the broken windows, pointing it at the creatures coming towards you as a threat before using your free hand to twist the knob, your back to the door.
Scrambling backwards out the door, the piercing cold ice on the concrete stairs beneath your feet cause you to slip backwards. Startled by the slip, you scream, falling backwards down the stairs to the dorm building.
Everything went black for you.
“What’s wrong with her?” Denki asked cause he and the group approached the front door you just backed out of. Your classmates shrugged and commentary flew around the group.
Then they heard your scream followed by a thud. “Oh my god is she okay?!” Mina frantically ran towards the door, cautious of the ice that had formed on the front platform earlier that evening. They look outside and see you laying unconscious on the foot of the stairs.
“Someone get Aizawa and Recovery Girl!” Tsuyu commanded as Iida and Midoryia ran off, promptly.
“Did I say something?” Shinsou looks around the group frazzled. All he knows is that one minute he saw you run off the elevator while he was in the kitchen getting water, he asked if you were okay and you screamed at him. “Didn’t realize I was that scary looking” he chuckles to himself
When you blink awake, you’re blinded by the lights of the nurses office. Your head is pounding as you groan at the stiffness in your neck when you tried to look around the room.
“Good morning” you hear from beside you. It’s Mr. Aizawa, drinking from a mug.
“Huh?” You blink some more, eyes adjusting to the lights of the room. “What happened?” You groggily ask your teacher.
“Hallucinations” he spoke plainly, reading from a paper. “Quirk tests from that villian came back. Temporary Blindness, Fever, fatigue… and hallucinations. Just to name a few”
You breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing you saw was real. Everything was normal. “Did I scare people?” You furrow your eyebrows.
“Shinsou’s just worried you think he’s hideous..” he chuckles lowly “other than that… everyone will survive being woken up by your screams”
“So embarrassing” you groan, covering your face with your hands before a sudden yawn of exhaustion washes over you again. “And tell him I said he’s not hideous” you remark to Aizawa before your eyes flutter shut.
