《Demons and Candy》Chapter ten

3rd POV
Candy was dragged into the room by a masked man, chaining his hands to a wall, bringing them above his head. "Candy!" Noya shouts, as her eyes widened.
Candy gasped when he saw Noya chained to a chair in another room, separating them by glass. He knew what they planned on doing, and pulled on the chains, "wait no don't do this! She doesn't deserve this!" Toga skipped into the room while Shigarki was walking behind her, slightly slouching.
"Please, don't do this to him! I did what y'all wanted!" Noya shouts, but gets ignored by everyone. "Leave him alone!"
Candy stopped pulling on the chains when Toga and Shigarki walked in, "w-who are you guys?"
"Hi! I'm Himiko Toga, and this is Shiggy!" Toga says, excitedly as she points to Shigaraki.
Candy gasped,"you're the one that brought Noya here!" He exclaims, as he pulls on his chains. "You bitch!"
"Well shit..." Noya mumbled, when she heard what Candy called Toga.
Toga pouts, "I'm not a bitch."
"Yes you are!" Noya shouted, deciding to help Candy out.
"Oh you're not. You're a bitch with space buns!" Candy sassed back.
"But, I can be one." She grins, pulling out a knife.
"Toga, no! Please don't do this to him!" Noya shouted, desperately trying to get out of the chair she was tied too. Noya just continued to get ignored, and Candy stopped breathing when he saw the knife. Noya growls at them, getting frustrated that everyone was ignoring her. Toga just stood there, grinning sadisctly, making it to where Candy couldn't read her moves. She then walks towards Candy, while spinning the knife in her hand. Noya started crying when she realized she was helpless to do anything. Candy's leg had started to become numb as he hung there.
"Hm... Where should I start first?" She asks, Candy. "You said, I was a bitch right? That foul mouth of yours is gonna get you in trouble." Tears gathered in Candy's eyes, threatening to spill out, at any moment. Candy gulped, regretting when he called her a bitch.
He shook his head, "no...no I didn't." He stutters. Toga ignored him, as he brought the knife to his lip, cutting it, causing it to bleed. Candy clamped his mouth shut, but he still tasted the metallic taste in his mouth.
"Stop it!" Noya shouts, kicking the glass even though it was no use. Toga was about to slice his mouth off, when Shigaraki came up from behind her and took the knife away from her.

"Don't be childish Toga." Shigarki says, throwing the knife on the floor. Candy honestly didn't know if he should thank him or not, he just sat there shaking like a wet cat, blood dripping down his lips. Shigarki then started walking towards Candy. He placed four fingers on his throat, grinning. Noya banged on the window even though it was no use, and Candy tried to breath but couldn't, feeling the pressure on his throat.
Toga was off to the side, jumping in excitement as she watched. "This is so fun!" Candy was shaking, as black dots began to swarm around in his eyes, he could barely breathe, as he gasped for breath, blood...his blood was pouring into his mouth, and he started to cry silently. Eventually, Shigariki put less pressure, and let go of his throat. Candy gasped in a breath, letting his head hang down, wanting to avoid looking at anything or anyone, as he tried to recover, spitting out some blood in the process. "Didn't Dabi leave his name on his stomach?" Candy heard what he said, and started shaking even harder.
Shigarki nods, "he did." He confirms, his voice raspy.
"Can I leave a mark?" Toga asks, excitedly, and Candy shook his head. He didn't want another mark, Dabi had already left enough marks.
Shigariki eyes Candy for a bit, before turning back to Toga, grinning behind the hand on his face, "sure...why not."
"P...pl...please...no..." Candy manages to gasp out. Noya was kicking the glass and yelling, but no one could hear her, or see her. Candy could barely feel his lips, all he felt was the blood rushing out. Toga's smile grew wider, if that was even possible, and Candy was praying he would faint from blood loss. He wanted the darkness to take him, he didn't wanna be here anymore. Candy was crying as his face became red and sticky, and started whimpering like a kicked puppy, he wasn't even trying to hide it anymore, he didn't care at this point.
Toga skipped towards him, taking out another knife. The blade on this knife was thinner, but still super sharp. "What would you like me to sign?" Candy started pulling on the chains, trying to get away from her, shaking his head no. He didn't want anymore reminders. "Aw...come on, don't be so mean." She frowns. Candy froze, not sure what to do anymore. He just stared at her, pulling on the chains lightly. She grins, as she gets an idea, "I know!" Candy shook his head, not wanting to find out what she had decided on. I was breaking, just like they wanted, and I couldn't do anything about it, I was losing the battle. "Aww how sweet, he's keeping still for me." Toga grins. I stared at the floor, not wanting to look up anymore, especially not at the glass. Tears were falling down Noya's face as she kicked the glass.

Candy's body had slacked, all the strength he thought he had, left his body. Toga held the knife to his waist, making a cut from his wrist to his shoulder. Candy was crying, the tears hitting the dirty floor under him. You could see blood pouring out of Candy's arm at this point. He snapped his head up, looking at the blood pouring out of his arm. Shigarki then bandages his arm, "we don't want you dying just yet."
"N...no...pl...please...no...more..." Candy gasps out, his voice barely there.
"That's gonna leave a mark." Toga grins, walking away. Candy's body relaxed, only to tense up again when he remembered Shigaraki was still in the room.
"Don't be so tense." Shigarki says, with his raspy voice. Candy started shaking more, he didn't know what to do, so he opted to just stare at his feet, not wanting to anger them anymore. "You know how my quirk works? Don't you?" He asks, and Candy shakes his head no. "An example would be nice, don't you think?" He grins. Candy's eyes widened, knowing where he was gonna show the example at, and began to pull on the chains again. "Don't do that, Toga's cuts haven't healed yet, you'll make yourself bleed out, and die." He warns.
Candy's POV
I froze, not wanting to anger him more, I was basically at his disposal. I wanted to go back to Katsuki, if he would even still accept me after this, thinking about how he would react after he saw my body. Will he not like me anymore? Will he leave me? I started to cry harder, as thoughts ran through my head, not wanting to find out the truth.
"Oh don't cry, it hasn't even gotten that bad yet." Shigarki scoffs. I wanted to pull on the chains, to try and get out of here, but I didn't want to anger him more, so I just hung there, like a doll for them to play with. "So back to my quirk example." My breath hitches, tears blurred my vision. "If I touch something with all five fingers, it disintegrates." He begins to explain. I nodded, to show him I was listening, my eyes also widened, and I pulled on the chains, shaking slightly. He grinned, and I whimpered. He then placed his hand on my elbow, but left a finger off. I froze, as I felt his dry fingers on my elbow. "Tomorrow will be an eventual day, so I won't go too far..." He mutters. I really didn't want to know what he meant when he said that, so I kept quiet. "I'll wait for you to tell me when you're ready, but if you don't speak up, I'll hurt you more then I want too."
"Wh...what's...fo...for...tomorrow?" I gasped out, my throat sore.
"You'll have to speak to dabi about that, wouldn't want to ruin his fun, now would we?" He grins, evilly. I started to shake harder, hearing his name was already bad news.
"Alright, I'll give you some time, tell me when you're ready." He says, letting go of my elbow, and sitting down in a corner.
I looked at him curiously, "w...what...do you...mean?" I ask, still shaking.
"I'll give you some time, before I disintegrate your elbow." He clarifies, like it was nothing. I looked at him, eyes wide, pulling on the chains again, not caring if I bled to death, actually I take that back, I was hoping I would. "If you don't stop, I'll disintegrate your whole arm, you won't bleed to death, but scream in pain instead." I stopped, not wanting to lose a limb, and looked at the glass to see if I could see anything, but I couldn't, it was useless.
I took a deep, shaky breath, giving him a hesitant nod, indicating that I was ready. "...re...ready..." I gasped for safe measure. He stood up, walking over to me. He placed his hand on my elbow, stayed there for about three seconds, before letting go. He then grinned at the scar he left. My eyes widened, a scream ripping through my throat, the pain was unbearable. It felt someone was pulling my skin off, forcefully. I was gasping for breath, my left arm spazzing every now and then from the pain.
"Get some rest, you'll need it for tomorrow." He grins, before walking out of the room. I just hung there, wanting to sleep. I wanted darkness to take over, so when I saw the darkness clouding my vision, I let it in with open arms, figuring the blood loss had finally caught up to me.

An idealist high-school teacher finds death when saving a student. Most of the time he had regretted not having the power to change the world, but at the very end, his last actions saved that student’s world. In Tellus begins the rise of two particular boys. The first one, Kancil, has lived a life full of suffering and betrayal, leading him to throw his life into a quest for revenge. But he has a special talent. Teaching people comes like a second nature to him and he acquired an ability to make that talent something that could change the world. The second one, Brencis, was a commoner boy who rose to the upper echelons of society after finding out he was a superbly talented person. Thus, the naive boy is thrown into the unknown and complicated world of nobility’s intrigue and deception.

Upon death, the high-school teacher was promised rebirth and the two boys display the traits of the teacher when he lived, but only one of them can be the reincarnation of the teacher. ——————— My tags?: A reincarnation litrpg xianxia with base building.
