Zero Secrets

Prologue 2: Amelia Tempes

A/N: And here comes prologue 2! As I said before the only reason why it's cut into three chapters is because I subconciously make things long. This is an AU where Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Pokkle are all sixteen. This also takes place after the Chimaera Ant Arc. Again, I don't own Hunter x Hunter or anything relatively related to it except this story.

'What was the word opposite of fair again? Oh right. Unfair.' An eight year old thought to herself as she saw her parents be condemned to death for a crime they didn't commit. She tried to reason with the Judge, tears streaming down her eyes but no one would believe her 'cause she was a 'minor' as everyone she tried to reason to said. This eight-year old girl is Amelia Tempes.

Time seemed to have moved in slow motion as Amelia saw her parents die. She was forced to watch her parents' execution as a lesson so as she won't do the same as her parents. Pthalo green eyes grow wide as she sees both her parents stuck in a plastic box, slowly dying of the poison gas being sent inside the box, at first they seemed to have been keeping in their breath but she knew that they wouldn't last long and would have to resort to breathing in the poison.

She screams and screams for them to stop, more tears flowing down her face but they wouldn't. They just looked at her with emotionless eyes then went back to watching her parents die a slow and painful death. At the end of the execution Amelia was broken, voiceless, and full of hatred. 

Days passed and her parents were given a proper funeral. Funny how that her parents were given a funeral but not mercy. As her parents were buried no tears came to her eyes, not a single drop. It was official Amelia Tempes was broken.

A years passed and Amelia was already nine. It took a year for the police to remember that she was the only living Tempes left and that she had nowhere to live but in her old house.

No one bothered to care for a 'criminal's child' thinking that maybe their children would be influenced by her. So now she was being sent to an orphanage, luckily for the police Amelia didn't struggle when they were taking her there, in fact she didn't even care. She was only staring at the blank space, brain filled with revenge.

Once she was safely in the orphanage the sisters immediately took care of her and cleanse her of all her 'sins' but that didn't stop the hatred. All that was in Amelia's head the whole time was revenge, she doubts she even remembers her alphabet.

"Amelia's reading again! Seriously somebody should get her a friend!" One of the sisters sighed as she scolded some other sisters. "It's not like we haven't tried! All she does is read! She doesn't try to make friends and gives the others the cold treatment, almost every child here thinks she's weird!" Another sister retorted.

"You know I'm just here right?" A voice called from behind them, they turned and found the girl they were complaining about. Amelia Tempes.

"O--Oh Amelia! We didn't see you there!" One of the sisters said with a fake smile. Amelia just rolled her eyes at them.

"Quit it with the fake smile. I know. I won't act differently though so just continue on with your jobs." Amelia said bluntly, walking towards her usual corner in the play room and started reading new book about hunters. The sisters looked shock but did as they were told.

She sat down, fixed her ponytail and began reading, combing her red bangs back but they just fell back in place. By the time she was done with the first chapter, Amelia thought that she'd go get a snack but was stopped by a hand grabbing her wrist. She turned her head and found a brown haired girl with orange highlights, hair tied in a loose braid and placed over her left shoulder, looking flushed. 'She must've ran here.' Amelia thought.
