I always thought how would be like if Noelle gets to know her mother right now and spend a time with her. So this fic it will be about this days.
Noelle doesn´t like commemorativedays. Because of her childhood, she used to have the worst memories on these days. But there isn´t a day that she hates the most than her birthday. The reason for that was simple: Noelle's birthday is in the same day as her mother death. And all the people around her made sure to remind her about that.
That's why she always avoided her birthdays. Even when she joined the Black Bulls, she made sure that nobody would know about her birthday. Because she also knew they would try to celebrate the day. And it wasn´t something that Noelle would want to. Honestly speaking, she also felt bad in this day. She thought that if she celebrates her birthday, that would be a disrespect to her mother's death. Besides, she didn´t want her family to know she was celebrating it.
– Noelle, you got something – Yami said when the girl arrived in the living room.
– Me? But I didn´t ask for anything – she replied a little confused.
– Well, you should take a look – the captain said while he went to the kitchen.
"Could this be a birthday present?" Noelle thought to herself while she was opening a small packet. The thought didn´t make sense because her birthday is in one week. Once she opened the packet, she saw a paper note and a mirror.
"This is the Wish's Maker; you can ask one wish at any kind. For the wish you just need to hold the mirror through yourself and wish. But be careful, the wish will only last for two days. So be sure to wish something thar can make you happy."
– What the hell is this? – She said out loud once she read the note.
– I think you are supposed to ask for something. – Vanessa answered her.
– I know, I just don´t understand it – she didn´t think there could be a magic like that.
– Why don´t you try ask and see it? Doesn´t hurt – the woman replied her with a smug smile.
And that's how she ended up in her bedroom looking at the new present. She wasn´t sure if this thing could work or it was a trap. But as Vanessa told her, it doesn´t hurt try. So, she held the mirror through herself and she tried to think what she would wish for. She couldn´t ask for things like power, defeat their enemies or even him. Because at the end of the day, nothing would last and she would be the same or worse. So, she thought about the things she doesn´t have and she would give her money to get for at least one day.
After a long thought about it, she realized there was something she was curious about it. It was something that she tried to not think about it. But sometimes her thoughts went to it. She wanted to know more about her mother. She wanted to meet her mother. For at least one day, she wanted to know her. She wanted to talk to her. She wanted to know if she was good or bad and how similar she was from her.
– I want to meet my mother – she said while she was holding the mirror.
Noelle waited with expectations, but nothing happened. So, she just gave up and throw the mirror away. It was probably a trap. Someone just wanted to make fun of her. After this failed attempt she decided to go to sleep. She slept with a weird feeling. Like someone was near her watching her sleeping.
– You should wake up, my baby. – Someone said while Noelle was with her eyes closed. She was feeling so relaxed that she didn´t want to wake up right now.
– Mmm – she murmured lazy. She felt someone touch her hair, but she didn´t bother to know who it was.
– They are already having breakfast, sweet, you won´t to be late, right? – The person said again in a calm voice.
– I want to sleep – she responded while turning her body to the other side of the bed. But then she accidentally touched a hand.
Then, she realized that there was someone with her. She opened her eyes and saw a woman sited in her bed looking at her with a big smile on her face. She was the exact mirror of Noelle. The girl looked at the woman without understanding. Then, it clicked her. It was her wish. She wished to meet her mother and now her mother was in front of her.
– Mother? – She asked hesitantly, she couldn´t believe in what her eyes were showing her.
– Are you planning to stay in bed for the whole day? I thought you wanted to – the woman couldn´t finish the sentence before Noelle throw herself into her and hugging the woman tightly. – I also wished to meet you, my baby.
– Mother – she repeated while tears were falling from her face.
– Stop crying baby, I'm here now and you shouldn´t cry so easily – she said while hugging Noelle.
– You're right – she said while trying her hardest to clear her tears.
– Okay, let's go, I want to meet your friends, because this is clearly not the Silver Eagles squad – she said that part with an annoyance.
Noelle realized that she wasn´t that fond of the idea that her daughter wasn´t in the family squad. But her mother also doesn´t have any idea why she went to the Black Bulls in the first place. So, the girl decided to talk to her mother and explain some misunderstanding. She doesn´t want her mother to think bad stuff about the Black Bulls or anything.
– Mum, I joined the Black Bulls because I wasn´t strong enough at the time, and Nozel thought that I would be safer in this squad – she explained.
– Are you saying you would be safer in someone's else squad than your family? – Acier asked without believing it. Noelle didn´t want to explain further, she didn´t want her mother to think about bad stuff that were in the past.
– Mun, the reasons doesn´t matter right not, because of that decision I'm stronger – she said in a firm voice. – Besides, the bulls are my family right now and I am fine with it – she was a little too direct and she could see the sadness in her mother eyes.
– Family? Okay, let me meet your family – she said standing up. But Noelle could see that the woman wasn´t to keen of these words. Like Noelle had broken her heart saying that.
But how could Noelle explain the situation? She couldn´t say bad things about her siblings and father, that wasn´t right. But she also couldn´t lie to her mother. The Black Bulls were indeed her family and she was proud of it. She just wanted to her mother accept that decision and understand that she was happy.
After this dialogue, Noelle started to get dressed while her mother was asking about Noelle's friends. The girl started to talk about their friends while getting dress. She explained Acier about how it was like any of their friends and she also told how it was their daily life. She made sure to let her mother knows how happy she was in the Black Bulls and how good they are.
When Noelle got dressed, they went downstairs where everybody was already eating in the normal chaos. She could see everyone talking and eating in their usual happiness. Then, she looked at her mother to see how was her expression and she could see that Acier was between shocked and amused. Acier couldn´t believe someone like her daughter was in this kind of place, but at the same time she wasn´t hatting them either.
– Guys, I want to introduce my mother – Noelle said taking everyone attention.
Noelle could see the look in their faces. They all knew Noelle's mother was dead. So, they were shocked when they saw a woman that look exactly like Noelle in front of them. She could also see them wondering how this was possible. After some silence, Yami said.
– Lady Silva, do you want to sit and have a breakfast? – He asked in a very polite tone surprising everyone, even Noelle.
– Sure, captain – Acier answered with a smile and Noelle wondered how her mother guessed that Yami was the captain.
– Your mana is really big, do you want to fight with me? – Luck asked in a very exciting tone.
– Sure, but it will need to be quickly I don´t have too much time here – she replied in a cheerful tone.
– Luck, don´t disturb the woman she was here to hang out with her daughter not you – Magna said in his usual tone.
Luck then replied and they started fighting while Acier looked at them with a smile on her face. Noelle looked at her mother impressed. She didn´t know that her mother was an easy-going person. She always thought that as a Silva, she would be a serious person. But apparently, she was very calm and extroverted. She saw when her mother stated a conversation with Yami or when she praised Charmy for the food.
Noelle couldn´t help, but feel amazed by her mother behaviour. She seemed like the best version of what Noelle could have been. Besides their appearance, Noelle realized she and her mother have nothing in common. Acier was calm, easy going, and very sociable. She seemed like a person who could fit in any kind of environment. Noelle could see by their friends looks, that Acier was a refresh and they were having fun with her. Noelle started to be a little jealous about it, she wished she could be more like her mother.
– Noelle, is something wrong? – Her mother asked concerned when she saw Noelle staring at her. How her mother could know her so well if that was the first time, she was meeting her?
When Noelle was about to answer her mother, Asta entered in the kitchen. Apparently, she wasn´t the last one to show up late to the breakfast. He entered in the kitchen with his usual smile, but stopped when he saw Noelle and her mother. He froze and everyone looked at him.
– Asta is there something wrong? – Finral asked while he tried to call the boy.
– Why I am seeing two Noelles? – He asked still shocked.
Nice to meet you, Asta, I'm Noelle's mother – Acier introduced herself while smiling brightful for him. The boy was still shocked, but he also smiled with his eyes shinning. Noelle become more jealous with it.
– Nice to meet you – he bowed to her trying to be extra polite and her mother laughed with his attitude.
– You don´t need to bow at me, I don´t like hierarchy – she said that surprising everyone even more.
Asta then started a very lively conversation with her. He seemed very entertained with her mother. Acier was also entertained and she seemed like she was really liking the boy, Noelle was getting more jealous about it. It didn´t have any reason at all, because it wasn´t like her mother was interesting in the boy. She seemed more like she was trying her best to get along with their friends and she giving Noelle her approval. But Noelle was jealous, because she wished that she could be more like her mother.
After they ate, the Black Bulls asked Acier to show her power in a battle. Noelle could see her mother confidence when she activated a spell that was very similar to her Valkyrie dress. Noelle wondered if that spell was actually an inheritance from her mother. When Luck tried his True Lighting Magic on Acier, Noelle could see how she made a steel shield like the ones she saw from her brother. After that she just froze Luck with her steel magic, he couldn´t move anymore. When the other saw it, they start to fight with her, but failing miserably. Asta tried to cut her spells, but couldn´t catch her at all. At the end Yami tried his black magic on her, but he barely touched her.
– You guys are really impressive, it's been a long time since I needed to keep myself really focus in order to not lose – she said smiling.
– And you are probably one of the strongest people I have ever saw – Yami replied with a smug smile.
– Thank you for that, but I wish to also fight my daughter – Acier said looking at Noelle.
At that moment Noelle froze. How she would fight her mother? The woman probably was the strongest person she ever faced. Even her captain couldn´t attack her easily, how could Noelle? If she failed in her attempt, how her mother would see her? She was afraid that her mother would think of her as a failure. She couldn´t handle if her mother gets disappointed on her. If she thought that Noelle wasn´t strong enough. No, she didn´t want to take a chance.
– My daughter, I thought you said you became strong here in this squad, I really want to know how stronger you are – her mother said in a very serious tone.
Noelle was taken back by her attitude. Acier seemed serious right now. Her expression showed confidence. The girl realized her mother was challenging her for real. Then, she realized that worse than not being stronger enough would be if Noelle run away from the fighting. Putting her fears aside, Noelle decided to give her best into the fighting. She probably wouldn´t get a chance of winning. But she needed to try and get at least one punch. No, she wouldn´t let her mother think that she wasn´t worth. She would try her best to make her mother proud of her.
Okay, at first I thought this would be just one chapter, but while I was writing I realized there was a lot of more information I want to cover on it. So this fic will have 3 chapters. I hope you guys like it.
