It's been 2 months since I joined the phantom troupe. It's not that bad. Except for the stealing and robing and the killing for no reason.
I of course did not join any of their activities. I stayed away from it. Most of the time I'd run away. Away from the hideout, away from the city, away from them.
When I manage to get away I look at my locket to make me feel better but seeing there faces is too much. I'm either crying or punching a tree.
Shalnark would always find me knowing we are the closest. He would either lend me his shoulder or he would calm me down.
But............other than that it's not bad. They taught me how to use my nen. Since I have the same nen as Shalnark he helped me control it. I practice everyday now. My power becomes stronger and stronger. I wanted to have a special ability so I fight and practice to find mine.
But today was different. When I ran I just cried then stopped and sat silently. A hand went on my shoulder. It wasn't Shalnark it was Chrollo.
I stood up and walked away,well tried to anyway. He followed me and just watched what I did.
I soon got annoyed and ran at a fast paste away from him. I left the hideout and concealed my nen. I ran as fast as possible and ran into a male. I looked up to see him looking at me weird. " Sorry" I said as I got up and continued running. I ran until I was stopped by arms holding me. " Ruby? Why are you running?" It's Shalnark. I calmed down. I turned to look at him and take his arms off of me. I continue running. I ran into an ally by accident and got trapped.
I slid down the wall. I was breathing hard. I was surrounded. Shalnark, Uvogin, and Chrollo.
Shalnark seemed worried,why?
I chuckled then looked at my locket.
" My mom........was a very sweet lady. She always told me that helping out can get you somewhere in life. She was always nice to everyone she meets....... she never had an enemy. I miss her. And dad he went missing around the same time and was found dead. I will find who killed them," I stopped to breath. I can feel the bloodlust come from me. " When I do I will rip there heart out of their chest. They will not know what came at them until it's too late" I say punching the wall causing a big whole to the other side and cracks ran up the rest of it.
My eye, I know it's red.
I felt a hand land on my cheek. I looked up to see Shalnark looking at me with a sad smile. " Calm down.....please?" He said this sadly. I calmed down and I went silent. He pulled me to my feet and hugged me.
Why does he have to be so nice to me?
He's part of the troupe that killed my mom?
So why does he care?
Why do I care?
He's my friend,my fake friend.............. right?
