Wind howled through the craggy, snowy expanse in the shadow of the mountain. To the Earthbender’s ear, it almost appeared to carry a voice with it; deep and sinister, whispered and vicious. Cho and his green-haired companion huddled in the makeshift shelter, erected by the Earthbender, to escape the blizzard that pelted them with jagged, dagger-like shards of ice and snow.
The cold seemed to penetrate down to their bones. Their teeth chattered as they shivered, doing their best to keep at least some warmth in their chests.
“This is ridiculous..” Cho complained, his voice lost to the wind.
“I thought you said you knew where this entrance was..” Deku barked, a sneer snaked it’s way across his face.
“It’s a bit fuckin difficult in the dark, man. Come on. Give me a break…”
To say it was dark would be an understatement. The shadow of the mountain that dominated the area seemed to plunge the surrounding scenery into even further darkness, if that was possible. The shadows seemed to twist and writhe, squirming their way around the pair and drowning them in impenetrable darkness.
Cho flicked a wrist and closed their shelter with another sheet of rock.
“We should get some rest. No sense wandering around in a blizzard. I’ll find the entrance after we’ve got a few hours shut eye, at least.”
Deku merely grunted in response, already turning to face away from his companion. Clearly, the cold, dark and relentless winds were playing havoc on them, dragging their moods through the snow.
Cho sighed and turned to face the rock wall of their shelter and closed his eyes for a moment, the exhaustion of dragging themselves through the snow and blizzard setting in. As quickly as he’d closed his eyes, sleep took hold and dreams began to creep their way to the forefront.
He writhed in his sleep as he was forced to recollect the horrors of the night he and the Emperor had dealt with. Cannibals, dragging innocent people from their beds to feast on, how close they’d come to being a meal themselves.
He wrenched himself from the depths of his dreams with a sharp inhale as he sat up quickly.
Kill……
The voice on the wind hissed, antagonistic in its message. Cho shook his head a few times.
‘Just hearing things..’ he mused.
He.. won’t.. hesitate…..
He whirled around, straining his eyes against the inky black of their shelter for any sign of the source of the voice. Deku was still asleep, tucked up in the far corner of the shelter.
You.. won’t.. survive the night… End it. Kill him before he wakes..
Goosebumps shot up and along the Earthbenders arms and neck. The wind seemed to die down outside, drowned out by the thudding of his heartbeat in his ears. He ran a hand through his hair and took a hold of a couple of twists. He gave them a tug, wincing at the sharp pain, eliciting a groan as the realisation that he wasn’t dreaming set in.
He glanced at the sleeping hero, pangs of paranoia jolted through his entire being as he wrestled with his psyche. Disturbing, spine-chilling images played out in his mind. Cho groaned and tried to shut them out as he turned to face the rock once more. He wrapped his arms around his torso and groaned, nigh begging with his mind to stop fucking with him.
He peeked over at Deku. Were his eyes open? Cho looked back.. definitely shut.
Now.. do it now. The would-be Avatar gasped as his own voice echoed on the wind now.
He stood with a groan, tentative, calculated steps towards the Hero as his paranoia sunk its venomous claws into what little sanity was left in his mind.
Another flick of his wrist and a chunk of rock dislodged from the wall of their shelter and hung over Deku’s head ominously.
“Sorry..” Cho whispered as he commanded the rock to slam down onto the Hero’s head.
It would’ve hit too, if Midorya wasn’t already on his feet like a shot.
Cho recoiled heavily, coughing and spluttering as Deku pulled back the fist he’d plunged into the Earthbender’s gut.
“You will be…”
