It Ended Long Before it Even Began

Summary:

You can run for only so long before you're eventually caught and killed.
If Night Raven had taught its first years anything, it would be this.

(Or, the cracks begin to show as a few gaps are filled.)

Notes:

HEYYYY Guess whose back!!!! :D
I'm going to try and do some June prompts, in order this time, but we'll see how it goes!
Plus, this time I have more of a script in mind so it might actually make some sense....
Anyway, feel free to tell me about any grammar mistakes you may see. I'm always open to criticism.
And in case anyone didn't read my previous collection, these technically are all connected (to each other and to my previous work in the series), but you can mostly read them in any order you want. )

NOW- chapter warnings:
cursing, fear of adults, mentions of cults, mentions of organ harvesting, mentions of trafficking, mild burns, arson, attempted murder, mentions of animal abuse, animal abuse, scarring, extreme hatred of animals.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: -"where Am I?"-

Chapter Text

"Holy fuck," Yuuto tapped the interior of the coffin with wonder. outside the wood he could vaguely hear the sound of screeching and chatter, and Yuuto realized all of a sudden that he was likely kidnapped.

Because that's what this was. A kidnapping.

How cool. And fucked up, where was Yuula?

Putting his two hands on each side of the coffin lid, he experimentally pressed against it, just to see if it would budge.

It didn't.

What a crappy transmigration so far.

His sister was probably with him but they didn't land together. He was hit by a carriage. He was trapped in a coffin.

And some aggravating, grating voice wouldn't shut the fuck up.

He had no time to dwell on that thought unfortunately, ad the same grating voice had finally managed to open the coffin lid.

Hurrah.

What the fuck-

----

Holy Shit

Holy Shit

Holy Shit.

Yuula ran through the strange, antique halls quickly, looking in and out each window and door just to see if she could catch a glimpse of Yuuto.

So far she saw nothing.

Fuck.

In normal circumstances she would call out for him, loudly, as she knew that would be the best case in which he would respond.

In this case, she was in an antique castle and had no way of knowing who lived inside it.

Most likely, it was a cult, but ion worst case scenario it could be some strange eccentric rich kidnapper.

Or her brother could not be here at all.

Which would sound okay until you realize that that would mean that he was left to be somewhere else. Still kidnapped like her.

Or he could be strapped down to some fucked up operation table as people steal his internal organs.

He could be sold to some terrorist organization, too as a meat shield.

Fuck-Fuck- Fuckity-Fuck.

"Holy Shit what's wrong with you?"

---

The cat was on fire? How the heck was the cat on fire. And where could he get one?

"Hey!" Yuuto screeched, rolling out of the way of an incoming fireball(Holy fuck), sent his way.

The strange fire cat was yelling about something or another, asking to steal his clothing.

Yuuto didn't really know at the moment. The ringing in his ear was far too loud to properly hear any of the crap.

"Agh," His eyes watered, and he looked down to see burning flesh. The smell of it was nauseating and Yuuto really wished he had strangled the damn thing. "Bastard-"

"Stop running, human!"

Yuuto should probably see if he can find his sister, fast, before any more fire-cats come and kill them both.

---

Yuula smiled politely, trying her best not to bring attention to the wy she looked at their robes for a sign of any weapons.

Unlike her these two teenagers didn't seem to have any issue with where they were.

So the likely hood of this being a cult got higher and higher by the minute.

"You okay, man?"

Yuula laughed, resisting the urge to scream.

"Just nervous. I'm having trouble remembering where we are to be honest."

The taller of the two laughed.

"Really? We're at Night Raven College," He looked at her proudly. "One of the top colleges in the world!" The shorter one scowled and elbowed the other kid.

"That's exactly why he's nervous Jackass."

He?

---

Yuuto didn't say anything as the man held him within the magical 'Lash of Love' (a terrible name).

The man had apparently come looking for Yuuto an assumed that the strange cat was his familiar?

"Sir,"

"HOW IRRESPONSIBLE"

"Sir."

"In all my!" "SIR!"

The man still hadn't paused as he dragged Yuuto throughout the halls. Taking the stupid abusive cat with him.

Yuuto grit his teeth, already done with this stupid place.

They brought him here. Treated him like crap. Then expected him to be grateful? Ain't no fucking way.

The audacity.

He hissed as his burn wound was aggravated by the whip.

The stupid man didn't even have the fucking decency to heal his wounds.

---

Yuula had never been that observant, so she understandably couldn't have been able to notice the two very angry looking teenagers moving her way.

"You three! What are you doing outside orientation."

Yuula fucking knew it was a cult.

The other two didn't seem to get the memo though. As they were also apart of the cult.

'Oh shit." The taller one hissed. "The housewardens."

Yuula made careful note of that as she, along with the other two, ran away from the aforementioned housewardens.

"What the fuck?!" Looking towards where the shorter one pointed, Yuula gasped. Next to the coffin room Yuula had escaped from, a large plume of smoke rose, blue fire resting just bellow it.

Yuula realized suddenly that she had been looking in the wrong place all along.

---

The chamber lit around him in a haze of fiery blue flames. The warmth caused Yuutos' burns to hiss in response, Yuuto himself getting flashbacks from the horror that was his welcoming into the world.

"AGHH!" Next to him, one of the cultists was running in circles, screaming as his but had been lit on fire. Yuuto wondered if he was stupid.

"Stop, drop, and roll!" He shouted.

The floor wasn't on fire. So he'd probably be fine so long as he did that.

looking away once he saw the man do just that, he winced, seeing the rest of the damage the fire cat had done.

After this there was no way in hell someone wasn't going to advocate for it to be put down.

Sentient creature or not.

---

She leaves her brother alone for five minutes, and he decides to burn the entire castle down.

What an arsonist she helped raise.

She was reluctantly proud.

And envious.

---

"There is no such place." Ouch. So not only was Yuuto lacking in a soul, he apparently belonged nowhere. Nice.

"Dark mirror!" The stupid crow man gasped. "This has never happened before! Boy! Where did you say you were from again?"

---

"Well that sucked."

"I don't know I mean you got to light a school on fire."

"Yuula???"

---

"What do you mean the cat burned you! Didn't they at least offer to heal you!?"

"They were a little busy for that."

"That's no excuse when the bastard gets back he's going to fucking help you."

"Whatever."

---

"No. No he's not fucking staying with us Yuuto."

"Yuulllaaaa-"

---

Yuula rolled over, looking at her brother quietly.

Although they had been given this whole mansion to themselves, it hadn't been cleaned in years, so they had to share the one room that was clean.

Yuula was a little grateful for that, admittedly.

She didn't want to be alone.
