Prologue 3: Annon Rule

A/N: And finally here's prologue number 3: Annon Rule! This is an AU where Killua, Gon, Kurapika and Pokkle are sixteen. This also takes place after the Chimaera Ant Arc. I don't own Hunter x Hunter and anything relatively related to it.

Weird. An eight-year old brunette was just chasing her dog Peter around her parents' back yard till lightning suddenly shot a tree beside her, the lightning didn't come from the sky 'cause it was pretty sunny instead it came from her right. The lightning shocked her dog so bad that it left her and ran to a different direction. She was about to follow her dog but a few mysterious men appeared behind her and knocked her out unconscious.

After a while sea green eyes fluttered open and she found herself inside her own house in the living room but she was tied. She saw from the corner of her eyes two figures right beside her who were also tied and gagged. 

She heard a few footsteps coming this way so she faked being asleep so that no one will notice.

A few minutes later she saw the two figures beside her stir back to consciousness. Brown and apple green eyes opened, she noticed these as her siblings' eyes. 

"Serene! Jack! You guys okay?" Annon whispers to her siblings. 

"Big sister Annon are you okay?"

"Where are you?"

The two said in unison. Annon shushed them before they got found out but to her dismay she heard footsteps scurry back to the living room and a few whispers. 

The lights turned on, blinding the three siblings.

"Well, well it seems the three prodigies are awake. I guess it's time to wake up your parents." said a guy with black hair and black eyes.

'What? What do they mean? What do they want with my parents?'

Ringing was heard from the man's phone, then a click was heard signaling that her someone answered the phone.

'Hello?' Said a voice, whom Annon identified as her father's.

"This is Bob of the Trinity Ravens, we have your children here and if you want them back safe and sound then you better give us the Emerald Sash, the one that strengthens ones aura. You have three hours, for each hour you're not here, we're gonna make one of your children's head go boom, starting with the youngest one." He said as he pointed the barrel of his gun towards Jack's forehead. The call ended with that.

"Wait! Don't hurt Jack! I--" She said but was interrupted by her  Bob's voice. 

"Shut up, little girl! It's up to your father whether he wants you alive or not." Said Bob looking a bit pissed off at the father for just dropping the  call.

Annon couldn't do anything else aside from praying that her parents would come before the first hour was done or else... No. Now was not the time to think of such things. Annon looked for a place to escape into or for something to cut the rope with.

When the clock hit 12:00 it rang, signaling that an hour has just passed. Annon's eyes grew wide and immediately looked to her left where her little brother sat but before she could shout out for them to stop she heard a bang. Blood spattered on to the floor, on to her face, and on to the wall. Annon screamed.

"Maybe they're late boss..." Said a random minion of Bob but Bob just looked enraged at him and immediately shot his brains out.

Annon couldn't think properly, she was still trying to process that her youngest brother just had his life snuffed out of him and if she doesn't hurry then Serene would be next then it would be her. Annon couldn't find anything so she just prayed.

She heard the same ring again and like before Bob shot her younger sister next and like before blood spattered everywhere but this time when her sister's body dropped to the ground it hit the end table causing a vase to fall and shatter. Bob didn't think of it much though.

Annon tried to make a grab for a shard before anyone could see and she was succesful. She used the shard to try cutting the rope.

By the time she cut the rope and she was free it was almost an hour, she made a run for the kitchen door but one of Bob's goons caught her, right before she thought it was over, her dog came jumping through the window and biting the ass of the goon holding her down. The goon, shocked, jumped off of Annon, she used this chance to make a run for the kitchen, she heard a gun shot when she made it safely inside. She locked the door and sealed herself in. 

Right when she thought she was safe, the door to the kitchen was being banged open. Annon had nowhere to hide, she tried going for the windows but she saw more goons outside, waiting for her.

When the door was ripped open, Annon lost all faith. She was gonna die here. She closed her eyes waiting for the shot but it never came but instead she heard the sound of ripping, she opened her eyes and saw a boy with white hair and beautiful blue eyes kill Bob by shoving his hand right through him.

The boy faced her and for some reason she felt something weird in her stomach.

"U--Um.. Thanks for savi--" She said bowing but was interrupted  by a hand shoved infront of her mouth signaling for her to shut up.

"No time to talk, if my brother finds out about this we're both dead." He said to her looking quite serious.

"Oh... Can I at least know your name?" Annon suggested, thinking that maybe she could now her saviour's name first but before she could get an answer she was knocked out unconcious, though she swears she heard someone murmer something.

"It's KIllua, KIllua Zoldyck."

Sea green eyes flutter open, a now thirteen-year old Annon was back in her bed, panting. It was the same memory that she always dreamt of. Annon doesn't remember what happened after that but she knows that she was sent to an orphanage, made a nice friend and was adopted by her now loving parents. 

She calmed herself down first from her dream. 

She then prepared herself to take the Hunter Exam this year.

~-~-~

Well, she was late for her first Hunter Exam but never the less she went inside thinking that maybe they accepted late entries. When she entered she was met with a blond that began shouting at her, he than gave her, her license then pushed her out. Annon doesn't know what happened but she thinks she passed.

~-~-~

Her parents decided, a year after she 'took' the Hunter Exam, for her to go to school, no matter how many times she whined that she hated teachers. She was still forced to go. 

She stood infront of the school, took a deep breath then finally entered it. She was about to take the entrance exma that would change her life forever.
