The younger days of Lucy Heartphilia's life were a drastic opposite to the life she now led.
There was no killing, no missing tongue and there was love.
Love, from her mother, her father and the staff of beautiful mansion that she lived in.
Although as her age grew, the love dissipated. The catalyst of the chain of events that led
to where was now is, was the death of her mother Layla Heartphilia.
Layla Heartphilia was the prime source of this magic called Love in Lucy's young life, the two were carbon copies of each other and she taught Lucy everything she knew. Ranging from her own love to the uses of teams in assassinations and such.
Yes, although not to the common knowledge, Layla was an assassin, trained since she was young. She had stop killing when she had met Lucy's father, but still loved the way it made her feel. Not the killing no the agility, the skill set and the way it made you feel better than every one else.
This was the same for Lucy. When her world collapsed around her and she ran, she resorted to a thing she had almost hated, assassination. The reason for nearly hating it being her father, forcing her to work jobs for her as a last ditch attempt to save his company.
She hated her father because he made her hate the thing that she loved most in the world, the art her mother taught her.
Jude Heartphilia.
She passed it to Ezra, who the passed it to Gray and Gray passed it to Natsu and so on. Soon the whole population of the hall knew the contence of that paper and because of that numbers symbolised ones similar to when Silence had first came in.
Wasn't Jude Heartphilia that guy who ran a massive company like years ago?
I only really remember the rumours of why his company fell, something to do with his wife and fraud?
Why is he acting Fairy Tail and why Silence? I know we probably has alot of enemies but this random guy.
Maybe she's making it up?
Yeah maybe.
Silence could hear every one of these, and it planted seeds of worry in here heart. She had expected this though, she was prepared. Beckoning to Erza she wrote,
Whatever I write down can you tell the rest of Fairy Tail, I have evidence.
Erza looked her in the eye, and with hesitance nodded.
She turned, her authority growing by the second.
"Quiet down! Silence has evidence that she wants to share about her claim of the culprit of this horrific crime."
Silence couldn't help but cringe slightly internally of the formality of the scarlet assasain.
Silence began to write, trying to form proper sentences that would make sense.
"You all know of the assassin Layla right? The one who is known for the assasaination of that politician." Erza read out this as she shawled it quickly.
"That assassin had a husband who was a much lesser known hitman, with the name of Silence. This is no mistake with the names, as that is former hero". She didn't really need to tell them that man was her father. She could pass Layla off as her teacher, to not completely blow her cover.
"That man is Jude Heartphilia, he used to employ me when I first started off. He allowed me to adopt his name with a promise to make it infamous. As you can see I have effectavly done that. I left that man on a very bad note and has been hunting me ever since. This just proves that this man has found me and drawn you into a fight that you all shouldn't be in. For that I should apologise.
He is a wicked and evil man, the work I didn't unbeknown to me at the time, just proves this. The stunt I pulled when I first came here was a recommendation. The evidence on who it is just deepens when I say that he done this once before with the assassination of my original tutor. The same words written. I am positive that it is a man known as Jude Heartphilia. So Will you join me to avenge the death of your so called namaka?"
The hall was silent, too many people trying to work out and process the new information. A few doubted her claims, but did remember the first thing Silence ever did here, the similarity of it was no mistake.
Erza glanced at the girl whose eyes were darting all over the place, searching for someone, anyone to support her. Erza weighed her option ans decided to go with the girl.
"Well I certainly am, we will have to present your claims to Master Makarov though. Just to check everything is in order."
If Erza agrees then so will I." A pink hair man stepped up to Silence, and flashed her a grin.
"Not that I'd ever agree with pyro here but I trust Erza, so I agree too. I also have more of a grasp than pinkie over here," he gestured lazily to Natsu, whose face was becoming a shade of angered red," he just wants to do it because you're a pretty face who looks stunning in a dress."
"Hey Snowflake, you don't have the right to say-" as Natsu approached him Silence had already kicked him nimbly in the side.
"There's the famous Silent Kick I'd heard about." Murmured Fairy Tail friendly neighbourhood drunk, "I believe you and your lovely lady lumps. So why not?"
"Gajeel and I shall also join." Spoke up the small blunette.
"Shrimp!" Started Gajeel but all it took to shut him up from the small women.
Silence giggled internally at this scene wishing she had someone like that. She dismissed the thought of pink.
"Well if Gray-sama agreed so will Juvia!" Gray ignores this comment much to Silence disbelief, she was not used to the usual antics of the two.
Two men also joined because apparently Levy had joined as well, and from there pretty much gradually pretty much everyone signed up. Apart from The Thunder Legion, who were on a job, but they may have not joined at all.
At the end of it all, Ezra informed her that Master would be back this morning. All the members left the hall discussing their strategies and such for this bombardment.
Silence stayed behind and decided that since it was her father that did this to someone, she would have to once again clean up his mess.
The lowered the body, it was horrific and Silence began to once again see the nightmare.
I'm coming Silence, the voice echoed. She whipped her head around searching for the source. Where was he?
Her heart clenched, he was nea-
"Hey, are you okay?" A hand laid on her shoulder she jumped away from the touch.
"Hey, hey. I'm not that scary." Came the voice... it was Natsu.
She nodded and just carried on with her work, cleaning the blood.
"It has something to with that man right the one you mentioned." It was abit more than a mention but Silence nodded anyway. It was not a fact she couldn't hide.
"Okay, you better rest I'll finish here." Once again she nodded allowing it to happen. She trailed almost sluggishly to her room. Opened it slowly and gently closed it. She walked into the room and looked into the mirror.
She smiled, a sly one at that but still a genuine smile just at the thought of her torture she was going to put him through.
Hey, it has been so long. I also realise how irregular these updates are so if it shall help I will set up an account on insta or something ( tell me which is easier) to tell you when it is coming. Also if you have questions about anything you can ask me them on there as I'd check it more regularly.
I have a forgotten insta account under the name of Ghibli_Howls if you want to use Instagram.
Anyway, hopefully next chapter will be better. I understand this is really slow right now.
