I'm Y/n L/n. My story beginnings with the tragic massacre of the Kurta Clan, my clan. 

I was 6 when the famous Phantom Troupe attacked my village. There were a lot of children around that couldn't defend themselves so the adults had to protect them. I hid in a secret spot near the river that my best friend, Kurapika came up with. I always looked up to him, he was strong and intelligent. 

I covered my ears snapping out of my daze hearing the screams of my beloved family. When the screaming stopped, I slowly crawled out trying to avoid all of the troupe. I wanted to find Kurapika and make sure that he was alive and safe. 

I checked if any of the members were around and made a run for it. I ran as fast as I could, unfortunately, I tripped an crashed onto the back of what seemed a pink hair girl. She wasn't apart of the clan and tried to escape only to find myself dangling in the air. I was so confused.

'Is this a new for of magic? I can feel something thin choking me and restraining my hands and legs but nothing was there.'  

The other members gathered around me. 

"Hey boss, we found another kid. Can we kill her?" A muscular man said. 

I panicked knowing that I was about to be killed. The non appearing "ropes" retraining me became tighter. I felt a small trickle of blood run down from my neck and onto my chest. 

"Machi" A man in a fur coat ordered, "Stop it and put her down".

I couldn't tell if he was nice or reply a criminal. He seemed calm and smart too. 'Snap out of it, what are you think about at a time like this?! He's a villain, villains are bad!'

I felt myself come into contact with the ground and I started to cry. 'Am I really going to die here? Is there anyway they would sympathize for a child?'

The "nice" man in the coat bent down and looked into my watered eyes. "Maybe we could use her." he suggested.

"What? Are you serious?"

"Yeah she's just a stupid kid who is also the enemy"

"Remember, she is also has the Scarlet eyes making her a Specialist as well. If we train her well she will be a powerful member." The "nice" man said. 'I couldn't believe my eyes, was he really being nice and taking my side. Will he convince them not to kill me?'

It seemed that the members didn't have a choice. The girl named Machi who tied me up earlier used the same thing to tie me up again. A blonde boy opened up a bottle and put it to my nose and  I started to doze off. 

I woke up in a bed in a room I didn't recognize. As my memories came back to me, the same man in the fur coat opened the door. I was genuinely scared and backed up into the corner of the bed. 

"It's ok. Remember I won't hurt you. I just want to know a little bit about you." He said in a calming tone. 

"What's your name?"

I was hesitant at first and managed to blurt out, " Y-y/n L-l/n"

The man chuckled. "That's a wonderful name, mine is Chrollo Lucifer. You can call me boss or Chrollo, whichever you prefer." 

'He's so nice, why though, is it because of my Scarlet eyes. It's gotta be that.' I was processing all of the possible reasons why he was so nice when he told me, "I want you to meet the rest of the troupe, from now on, you'll be one of us." 

'I was still scared. If I didn't agree what would happen to me?'

I slowly nodded and he offered is hand, my hand was trembling when I place it in his palm. His warmth made me feel a little more safe around him. So I decided that I was going to stick around him so I wouldn't get hurt. 

We came out of the room and I slowly followed him. He lead me to a room that had many broken pieces of the ceiling on the ground like this place was abandoned. All of the troupe members were there, all eyes on me. 

"Everyone, this is Y/n. She will be apart of this troupe now but we have to teach her about Nen too." "Y/n" he whispered, "the big muscular man there is Uvogin, he may seem scary but he really is a softy when it comes to family." I giggled but then covered my mouth. Everyone heard me... 

"Why did you stop" Chrollo asked. "If you want to laugh go ahead" he said and grinned. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I bursted out laughing. Everyone joined in too.

'Maybe they aren't all so bad.' I though. 

'NO. They murdered my family and clan. They're killers and criminals'. As I though more about this, tears streamed down my face. Chrollo glanced at me and motioned the blonde hair boy over.

"Shalnark, are you able to erase some of her memories?" 

"Sure I can." Shalnark replied. 

Chrollo carried me, his warmth comforted me yet again and I calmed down. I was taken to a room filled with technology. He placed me down onto a chair and the boy, Shalnark, placed a small tube in my arm and started typing on his machine. 

"Erase everything about her clan and her family." Chrollo instructed. 

"Yes sir." Shalnark started to count off, "10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1" He flipped a switch and I felt something rush throw my body and passed out. 

I awoke in the same bed again and rubbed my head. It was aching. Chrollo called me down, I came. He asked me a question about a clan called the Kurta clan and if I knew anything about it. 

'Hmm Kurta clan,' I couldn't recall anything about them. I shook my head and everyone smiled. 'What are they smiling about' I wondered.

-Time Skip-

A few years passed and I was 9 already. In the past 3 years, I was trained and taught by everyone of the troupe members. They were my family.

I told me that I was different and I had a special ability that had to do with my eyes. I found out that I was a Conjurer. I have to say that I mastered Nen pretty quickly. I chose a scythe as the object I conjured and I never parted with it. I became the 14th member of the Phantom Troupe as well as a professional assassin. I wanted to protect my family from harm. Even though I knew I wasn't as strong as them, I wanted to try. 

It became my 10th birthday, and like every year, Shalnark had to examine me to see if I was in good shape. he put a tube in my arm and studied my heart race, my blood flow, and my cells. 

However, I felt something rush through me and thoughts I never knew came into my mind. I instantly remember who my clan was, what happened to me, and who the troupe was. I was angered. My eyes burned a scarlet color and I ripped out the tube. 

"Hey Y/n, is every thing alrig-" I slammed the door trying to find the exit. I pasted a couple members like Shizuku and Feitan. But when they tried to talk to me or even touch me, I slapped their hand a ran. I was so disgusted at the thought that I thought of them as family. They're the ones that took mine and changed my life for the worst. 

I finally found the exit and stormed out of the building and ran straight leading me into the forest.
