Chapter 61 Hunger

Shigaraki: What was that?

*Looks out the window just to see what was going on still hearing the bell ringing in the distance. The bell almost sounds like a church bell.*

Overhaul: That sounds like a Church Bell...

*Looks over to Shigaraki but hears movement inside of the house. The movement sounded like someone is right above.*

Shigaraki: Something is above us.

*Looks up slightly to see the walls leaking out blood*

Overhaul: What's going on?

*Hearing screaming coming up right behind him including a baby crying out in pain and suffering. Looking back immediately just to find himself in the forest*

Pregnant Woman: Why did you kill my husband?

*Tearing up while pointing at her dead husband her husband was ripped open like a wild animal would do to their prey*

Pregnant Woman: Why did you kill me?

*Crying more while showing him her stomach that's open up along with the dead baby.*

Pregnant Woman: Why did you kill us?

*Looks at him while crying more*

Overhaul: ...

*Eyes widen looking at the woman but notices his mouth is covered in blood and flesh. Heartbeating fast while closing his eyes tightly but heard a whisper.*

Unknown voice: Kaien.

*Whispers*

Overhaul: ...

*Looking back slightly to see a person who looks like him standing there with blood in his mouth.*

Kaien: You were lied to...

*Says it in a whisper as a group of people in masks are right behind him*

Overhaul: Wait what do you mean by lied to?

*Looks at him confused yet wonders who's the people in the masks that's standing right behind the person*

Kaien: Deep in the water a person was about to drown.

*Says it softly while disappearing completely*

Overhaul: Wait!

*Reaching out with his nub but finds himself in the house with Shigaraki. The body of the pregnant woman remained still.*

Shigaraki: You okay? You seem to be lost in thought.

*Looks at him concern*

Overhaul: Yeah I'm fine.

*Says it calmly while breathing heavily but wonders about what the other him meant by that saying.*

(In his mind).

"What that's supposed to mean?"

(Flashback).

Kaien: Deep in the water a person was about to drown.

(End of Flashback).

"Is someone about to drown? Or is it when I drowned?"

*Remembering the person whom he was talking to the person with the cut on his throat.*

"Was that an illusion? Or I'm just thinking too hard?"

*Sighs slightly since the words make his head hurt*

"No, I think the book made the person to prevent me from killing myself even though I was saved. No, or maybe it's something else but what?"

(Out of his mind).

Overhaul: Ahh! I hate it when I don't get more info!

*Says it out loud in frustration*

Shigaraki: What's happening?

*Looks at him confused*

Overhaul: Nothing I'm fine let's find out what's causing that noise.

*Looking over at the dead pregnant woman for a short moment remembering what just happened during the vision he had seen. Even though thinking about what just happened and heard makes him panicked even more than usual. The thought of the book getting a hold of him and doing who knows what in the future.*

(At the forest).

*Watching him drinking the blood from the man's head which was the pregnant woman's husband as the woman continued to scream out in terror as water begins to appear underneath her*

Kaien: I always leave the best for last.

*Looking over to the pregnant woman who's crying and trembling over what she had witnessed as he throws the head of her husband to her which causes her to scream in horror and despair*

Dabi: That's enough!

*Grabbing onto his arm trying to stop him from causing more harm*

Kaien: ...

*Looking at him with a hateful glare but smiles at him with flesh stuck between his teeth as his eyes color changes to pure black*

Kaien: I'm still hungry.

*Looks at him with an emotionless stare as he tries to take a bite out of Dabi*

Dabi: Kaien!

*Letting go of him and immediately steps away from him in fear and confusion wondering how he's supposed to snap him out of it*

Kaien: I want more blood I need it!

*Whimpering as trembles uncontrollably but stops after remembering that the pregnant woman is still here. Turning around and slowly walks towards the woman who's still trembling in fear*

Pregnant Woman: Please don't hurt me!

*Shaking uncontrollably as more water appears underneath her*

Dabi: Kaien stop it!

*Yells out loud but his whole body is struck with fear*

(In his mind).

"I can't move at all am I afraid?"

(Out of his mind).

Kaien: ...

*Grabbing onto a knife and immediately slices the woman's stomach cutting it open. Enjoyed hearing her screams and watching the blood spilling including the newborn baby falling on the floor crying. Laughing manically as he begins to lick up the blood from the floor*

Dabi: Kaien...

*Slowly making his way towards him. Reaching out for him but stopped after noticing him swallowing organs such as the liver and the kidneys*

Dabi: Overhaul...

(In his mind).

"Overhaul is going to be like this then what should I do what can I do?"

*Clutching his fists tightly wondering what he should do*

"I don't want to seal him away there's has to be a way to reverse."

(Out of his mind).

*Hearing screeching coming from Kaien it sounded like a demon*

Kaien: I'm so hungry I want more blood!

*Whimpering since the pain for hunger grows on him the thought of having human flesh overwhelms his mind as he begins to drool a lot. The saliva is mixed with blood due to the blood and organs that he's been eating.*

(In the background).

Man In The Goat Mask: Lord Satan look what we have done your creation has worked.

*More people in the same masks begin to show up bowing down to Kaien like he was some type of God.*

Man In The Goat Mask: There's a town nearby that's filled with delicious humans.

*Says it calmly to Kaien who's watching them with a twisted smile*

Dabi: Say what?

*Eyes widen remembering the images about women and children being burned alive including boiled.*

*Looking over to Kaien just to see him running off quickly*

Dabi: Wait!

*Reached out for him but it was too late he was already gone in the blink of an eye*

Dabi: I have to stop him!

*Running throughout the woods heading towards the path possibly towards the nearby town*

(Meanwhile at the abandoned town in the abandoned house).

Shigaraki: Good thing that you're here since I don't know if I have enough bullets in case of a monster or the mannequin.

*Slowly walking upstairs pointing the gun in each direction.*

Overhaul: What if it's a hostage?

*Looks at him calmly yet wonders if it's his boss who is up there. Just thinking about it makes him more anxious to see who's up there.*

Shigaraki: You go first.

*Moving aside from him to let him go first*

Overhaul: Alright.

*Makes his way upstairs but stops after noticing an old man who's tied up. The old man had a note with him.*

The note: Congratulations you found the first hostage but there's more across town.

*The old man disappears*

Shigaraki: Wait what just happened?

*Looks at the note and sees the words changing*

The note: Don't worry the first hostage is safe but now you have so much to go. However, beware of the darkness. Hear the bells to look for safety.

*The note disappears*

Overhaul: Beware of the darkness?

*Looking around the home but noticed an old picture of a woman and a man smiling. Eyes widen realizing it's the same woman who spoke to him earlier*

Overhaul: It's her house...

*Remembering the dead pregnant woman and her husband. His heartbeating fast he immediately went downstairs and headed outside. Looking around the town wondering if it relates to something that occurred in the past.*

Shigaraki: Don't run off without me!

*Coming outside of the house and noticed him panicking*

Shigaraki: You okay?

*Looks at him concern wondering why is he panicking*

Overhaul: It's the town...
