Her Purple Hair

by Light Kingston

"Why is it that Purple always goes best with Silver?" Silver Elric is not the normal Meister. adopted child of Lord Death, will painful memories get in front of her and block her from moving forward into the light? Or drag her back down to the flaming pits of hell and despair OCXOCXStein

1. I was born this way

I was born this way.

It's not like I wanted have purple hair. I never knew my parents, so I don't know if it runs in the family or I'm just a freak. I moved from place to place. Home to home. Family to family. But they all brought me back to where I started. Alone. That was how life was for me... Till I turned nine. Lord Death, he took me in, raised me like one of his own. Calling me kiddo, sweetie, daughter... I loved it, but it wasn't enough to make me talk again.

Kid always hated me. How my hair points this way and that. Uneven and spiky. My eyes, one having a bright purple spot in the sliver. How I would always smile lopsided. I never really smiled like I did when I was a kid. Back then, I was only known as that. 'The Kid'. I never spoke to anyone, never went to school, stayed away from everyone when I would go out. That's how life was. Lord Death gave me my name. I loved it from the moment I heard it. "Sliver Elric"

I would try it out in my mouth all the time, just lipping the words. I got my true smile back that day.

When I turned thirteen, Lord Death said it was time for me to become a weapon or a Meister. I turned out to be a Meister with a large soul. By the time I was 15, I still didn't have a weapon. I lost my smile again because each person who wanted to be my weapon, never felt right, that was when I met Shi and Sin.

Both very skilled weapons, living off each other. Shi, very tall, dark, handsome. With short black hair and blood-red eyes. Sin, tall, sweet, handsome. Long black hair, always in a pony and bright blue eyes. Twins but never the same. Sin always tried to make me smile, while Shi shook his head at my sloppy work.

Because of Shi, I spoke... for the first time in ten years. I snapped at him in front of Lord Death and Kid. It came out as a whisper yell, but I spoke. Shi's eyes - for the first time we met - danced with happiness. With a smirk on his face, he patted my head said you're welcome and walked off. Sin, Lord Death, and Kid stared at me. I smiled and laughed. I had my voice back.

Now, I am a Grim Reaper with two death scythe. My voice is strong and proud. Even though Shi never says anything like that again to me, I'm happy that he gave me my voice back, and I promise, I will make sure to repay that debt!
