"There she is..."
"So all we need to do is to defeat her?"
"Yup, and then you'll be able to join the guild." Arietta Bloodluster grinned at the two newcomers who had just recently stepped into the guild saying that they wanted to be a part of it.
"She looks weak, though... why are her clothes all ripped up?"
"Don't mind that. Just go for her back or sides. She won't even hear you... she's the weakest in our guild," Bloodluster assured them with a smirk. Light guild trash... they came prancing over here after we knocked up their guilds... how foolish, to think that getting in here will be so easy... She thought.
"Alright, then, on three," one of the ex-light guild mages muttered to the other.
"One... two... three!" the whispered in unison.
Rin Solstice stumbled out of the master's room, holding her clothes, especially her top, in place. Whispers and nasty comments commenced once more, briefly stopping when the door to hell opened. She glared up at her so called "friends" with blank eyes, her head hanging. Bruises and scars blossomed on most of the parts of her boy, and her hair was messy and tangled. Blood from the wound on her chest dripped onto the floor, making small puddles that followed her wherever she went.
Even though she could not hear a single word they were saying, she knew what was going on. She had humiliated herself. Rin grit her teeth, not even turning her gaze to Hikari, Raven, and Carma, her teammates, who looked at her as if they knew what kind of outcome there would be from her actions.
She just stood there, waiting... watching... for what would happen next.
The two ex-light guild mages attacked her on both sides, no making a single sound. They both readied their weapons to strike just when something held them back. Strong, thin lines of thread were loops around their necks, wrists, upper arms, and thighs. The string tugged the mages back, stopping them from approaching the user.
"What the..." one of them muttered, pulling on the thread. Rin's hands raised themselves to the eye level of the two ex-light mages, and a small, cruel smirk played on her lips.
When Rin curled her hands into fists, the thread tightened to the fullest, slicing off limbs and heads from the torso. Blood spurted from the dismembered parts, showering her with the dark red liquid. The blood splashed onto the sides of her face, clothes, hair, and bare skin, and it dripped down to the floor, mixing in with her own body fluids.
Soft chuckles erupted from her lips, soon growing into hysterical laughter. Rin covered her face with her hands, her haunting giggles becoming slightly muffled. "Hikari..." she breathed between moments of laughter, "Hikari...!"
"Shut up..." Carma muttered, Hikari hiding behind him, fear in her wide eyes, "SHUT UP! RIN!"
Raven calmly walked out of the crowd of dark mages towards Rin and struck her across the face.
The laughing stopped, and Rin stared at him, light slowly returning to her eyes. Her gaze flickered to Carma's frustrated face, Hikari's afraid expression, and the eyes of disgust from all of the other guild members. Rin looked down at herself, seeing the red blood that stained her body.
From the side, Arietta was covering her mouth with her hands, muffling her giggle. Her eyes were full of glee, looking as if she won a lottery. "How gross..." she whispered to herself.
Ginny Orca, flipped her silver hair to the other side of her face and grabbed Haku Soreta and Arietta Bloodluster's arms, dragging them away, "Let's leave," she said, "I can't stay in the same room as someone like that. She disgusts me."
Slowly, the other Black Rose mages left the room, leaving Rin and her teammates behind. Rin sighed, avoiding the gaze of her team, and slung her coffin, which was lying close by, onto her back and started to walk away.
"Where are you going, looking like that?" Raven asked, but his words never reached the deaf girl's ears. A weak breeze brushed against Rin's thread, which were still connected to her fingers. Rin turned to glance over at Hikari, then at Raven.
"I'm going home... then I'll clean up and leave. I'll move out of the house," she replied.
The four of them all lived at the same place, a house near the guild Black Rose.
"Don't worry..." Rin continued, "I was already planning to move out anyways... I have a place to stay..." she gave them a slight wave, then left, "See you later."
"Fool..." Raven muttered, "I never said anything about worrying about you..."
"By the way... I forgot to tell you guys..." Leon said as Wendy tended to his wounds, "That girl.. the one who uses thread magic... her name is Rin I think... she's deaf."
Shocked looks came from most of the Fairy Tail members, while Makarov's frown turned darker, his head rested on his hands as if he was trying to remember something. The guild members and Leon had temporarily taken shelter in a nearby storage, which served as a building used for emergencies.
"Huh? How can she fight when she can't hear?" Lucy asked, her eyes wide.
"And what's with the coffin she carried around? Does she want to close herself in there right before she dies?" Gray wondered.
"More importantly..." Erza said, staring down at the ground in thought, "Why did she spare us? She could have easily killed the ones who were stuck under the rubble... Was it all talk? About her coming from an assassination guild?"
"Hmm..." the four of them hummed, trying to think of an answer to all of their questions.
Wendy spoke up nervously, "W...Well, the ones who took her away... they said something about punishment for not killing in the last missions... I'm a bit worried about her..."
"We don't have time to be worried about our opponents, Wendy... especially when they give off a bad feeling," Erza stated, then looked over to the master, "What are you thinking of, Master? You seem deep in thought."
"No... it's nothing," Makarov answered, "It's just that I've seen that magic before... Thread Magic... and the name Rin seems familiar..."
Juvia glanced over at Gray, who was frowning, and asked, "Is there something wrong, Gray-sama? You have been like this since the dark mages left... Juvia is worried."
Gray looked over at Juvia and smiled, then said to his friends, "You guys... I think one of my relatives... my little sister... is part of that guild; Black Rose."
The other guild members looked over at him with a blank look, letting the news slowly process in their brains. When they finally understand, their eyes widened in unison and they cried out, "WHAT?"
"Which one is it, Gray?" Mirajane asked eagerly.
"It's the girl with the wind magic," he replied bluntly, an expression of worry and deep thought frozen on his face.
"EH?" Natsu exclaimed, then pointed at Wendy, who jumped back in response, startled, "You mean that little kid who looks exactly like Wendy but scarier? How come she doesn't have droopy eyes like you?"
Gray glared over at Natsu and growled, "Sorry I have droopy eyes, dumbass."
"But Gray... I thought all of your relatives died in the attack from Deliora..." Leon said, confused.
"Apparently not," the ice mage sighed, stretching his arms as he still glared fiercely at Natsu, who returned the same gaze.
Lucy stared down at Gray with a worried look then glanced outside through the window. The sun had already begun to set and fiery orange streaks had stretched across the sky. She looked over at the other guild members and said, "I have to go home and get some rest... see you guys tomorrow!"
"Be careful on the way home!" Erza called out as the blonde left.
"Try not to get into trouble!" Natsu said.
"Aren't you the one who always does?" Lucy snapped at Natsu before waving at the others, then leaving.
"Ah... Silver? You're back?" Lydia asked, looking up at the silver haired girl as she walked into the guild.
"Yeah... having a mission right after beating up a light guild is pretty tough," Silver Angel Wolf replied, her grey wolf ears twitching on the top of her head. Her canine tail swished back and forth behind her, and a fiery red coloured wolf with emerald green eyes accompanied Silver.
Ken Hirozon sat up from his sleeping position on a bench, lifting up his sleeping mask to see who Lydia, his teammate, had greeted. He acknowledged Silver with a raise of his eyebrows and muttered, "Blue Pegasus wasn't that strong... just that some of the dudes there creeped me out."
Silver laughed, "Especially that perfume man. What did he always say again? Oh yeah..." she paused and crouched down, imitating the short man's height, and with a nasally voice, wailed, "Meeeeen~!"
Lydia smirked, and Ken gave a soft chuckle just when Kaya popped out of nowhere with Raiko Tsumi.
"Guess what?" Raiko questioned with a grin.
"The Hunter is back," Kaya said, and the cheerful mood suddenly turned heavy at the sound of "The Hunter".
"Lucy!" The landlady called out to her right before she entered her place.
"Eh? What is it?" Lucy Heartfilia asked as she looked down at the short woman.
"You have a roommate now. She just moved in today. It was sudden, so I couldn't tell you beforehand," the landlady said, staring up at the mage's slowly brightening face, "And she's a girl around the same age as you."
"Wh-What about the rent?" Lucy exclaimed, already excited about the thought of having a roommate.
"You two can negotiate that on your own. Now hurry in and greet her."
"Okay!" the blonde replied and rushed inside. Hurriedly, she rushed over to the living room, thinking, Who is it? Who is it? Is she nice? Friendly? Is she a mage too?
Lucy darted into the room and started to introduce herself without properly looking at who her roommate was, "Hi, I'm Lucy Heartfilia and I'm your new... room...mate..."
The blonde mage's jaw had started to hang out of place when she realized who it was. Rin Solstice stared up at her, sitting down on the floor as she leaned against her iron coffin. She smiled and greeted the shocked mage.
"Good evening."
Yes, I'm still on a slight hiatus... my updates are still extremely slow... sry 'bout that...
