Not Yet

XXXV: Revelation

A/N sorry for the long wait. I haven't been able to write. Like... AT ALL! Not even a word! What the hell?! Nobody told me college was this hard..?? I literally don't have a life now 🥲💔 But anyway, good thing I have written some chapters in advance, you won't have to wait for 6 years until I graduate at least 😂
Not a major chapter, but better than nothing I hope 😬

Her heart was racing incredibly fast, all blood drained from her face as she tried not to shake infront of the vicious man.

His whole posture and manners seemed inhuman to her eyes, ink-black swirls looking straight into her soul.

She had simply been on her way home from a long tiring day at the hospital, she hadn't realised the villain creeping behind her that had pulled her instantly to an abandoned alleyway, using a handkerchief to gag her mouth and prevent her from screaming for help.

She sat motionlessly on the dirty ground with he legs folded beneath the short skirt, her back pushed into the wall as far as possible.

The horrendous figure of a man squatting down had his nose nearly touching hers with how close he was leaning in.

"So, pretty lady, we can do this the easy way.." he smiled creepily as he played with a strand of her hair. She tried to back away as much as she could with a scrunched up face, disgusted of his gestures.

"...or the hard way. I personally don't mind the latter." His smile spread even wider, creating a terrifying outwardly image of an ugly beast.

"Your job is pretty easy. We just needs some files and information of a newly admitted patient at your hospital."

She knew he was waiting for an answer, so because of being gagged, she shook her head a firm no as she glared daggers at the vile man.

She sure was scared, but that didn't mean she would betray her own morals like this. She was known to be a righteous and brave woman, she was not going to submit to some pathetic threats.

"Well, I personally don't mind." The man's laugh that echoed through the empty alleyway was certainly not a good indicator. "But you see, my boss is not as kind as me, and I heard he had found an interesting individual to recruit." He stood up and took a couple of steps back, towering at the woman from above.

"Brain washing would make a fine quirk for a villain, don't ya think?" His smirk was self explanatory at that point.

Sachiko's whole body stiffened and her breath hitched, choking on the accumulating saliva in her mouth.

Her horrified expression was the only answer the despicable man could need.

*****

She had had enough. She wasn't going to succumb to those disgusting villains. Who knew what they could do to her cherished little Eri and her brother with the information she was guilty providing. Every time she had helped Eri, a sense of hypocrisy and worthlessness would take over. Every time she saw how much Aizawa-san and Togata-kun trusted her, her heart would clench in agony and remorse.

Even if it was for Hitoshi, she couldn't help but imagine the betrayal on his face as a hero-in-training when he gets to know of her lousy actions.

And that's why she said it. Loud and clear.

"I'm not going to help you anymore."

It was a good thing Hitoshi was still at school. She had not expected the same terrifying figure of a villain to break into her house in the middle of the day.
