Mother

A girl is born.. her name is Lucia. Born in a village called "Pathway" somewhere in 1953. Her mother upon hearing her birth, she smiles with delight.. So was the father, who still in his mind desire a boy first. As Lucia grows, she becomes more like her mother. She has a natural curiosity and a hesitant air about her. Her favorite thing to do is spend time with her mute mother, who she learns to understand over time.. When she turned seven, the father and uncle knew the time has come for the Shogun, leader of Pathway to ask about the daughter health progress before entering Assassination academy. In Pathway, everyone had to graduate from the school in order to stay at the village. Especially them, since the legacy family wasn't allowed to leave the village, it was either join or death to keep the Village secret they discovered, secret. If one doesn't join, someone in that family who is young MUST join if the school student count goes below 89. Pathway is a secret town that does service on the black Market website.

Pathway is a village base around Assassins. Lucia was forced to go into their assassination class, especially due to her age being seven. Lucia wasn't exactly the type to question things especially with strangers so it didn't bother her. She was very docile. Half of that was she was still young and wasn't allowed or have the smarts to question their rules. The other is because she gets it from her mother.. That is why Pathway has a law to have children raised and attend their school at age of seven. They believe at that age they are capable of doing the task they are taught and won't question things as much older people would.

While Lucia was attending school. They mainly just taught things involving psychology, thanatology and about the Tenzaria weapons. The school barely taught English or anything they considered redundant. Lucia was titled a professional, because of her personality of being submissive and always obeying the teacher. Out of all the students, she didn't develop any emotion that would cause her to hesitate on the test question that was asked. Her and a friend were the only ones that didn't question the situation. Her friend was rumored that she killed her group of friends. This caused mojarity of the students to question things.. leading them to get kicked out and never seen or heard from again. So the people who knew about what happen, made sure it stayed a rumor. She became a great assassin and kept improving as the days goes by. When she came home one day she would always spend some time with her mother. Mostly because she is the only one who acts like her and understood her. Even if she was silent. Lucia found her mother so interesting.

During her years at Assasin Academy she learned more about her friend and secret jobs she received along with knowing a few killing tactics. Breaking her targets hearts by making them fall in love with her then leaving them. Making them too depress to fight back. She was very young so killing them wasn't a big deal since she didn't have the knowledge of hesitation. Since she was friends with Lucia she didn't cared much for anyone else. They would separate themselves away from each other so the principal or the Pathway leader won't tell If they are friends or not. Lucia had targets in her tests and would complete it under minutes. What does that mean? In tests at Assasin Academy. You had to answer questions about your personal skill. Behind the sheet is the list of animals you had to kill in the village for a grade. Pathway secretly gathered a list of animals they knew in the village. You had to mark them off using their blood. Before they graduate, they must kill real people. Not innocent people. Just bad people elsewhere that did something wrong.

Then in detail describe how you pulled it off. The students sometimes are forced to take drugs by the teachers if the students have very high potential and have the drug take over their mind when killing their targets. Lucia and her friend never needed it due to how quick they are, along with a small amount of kids. Lucia decide not to care for people except her mother, father, and uncle.

Age: 10

Three years they attended the school and the test that is required to graduate is finally here. It was a two week trip. All the students were allowed to stay home for a week to prepare. In Assasin Academy their is a system. Low rank and High rank. F, D, C are all considered low rank. B, A are high rank. Low rank requires three years and High rank requires two. To pass C to enter Rank B, students require to go on a trip to test their courage in a camp.

It was also Lucia's birthday. The father wanted to finally discuss about her mother and her father relationship. Lucia felt really attached to her mother so she seen this as a great birthday gift. Even though the mother couldn't speak, Lucia was still happy to speak to her every second she gets to. The father began with saying her mother isn't exactly normal. Human. She is what people in the science lab considered as a Heartless Spirit. The mother would give her a paper that further explain her background and her father reads it.

It all started when she was a little girl going on a field trip. She was a happy girl last time she remembered. Suddenly a gun was shot and the driver was killed. All the kids got out the bus in panic and people in white uniforms came out from hiding and stabbed the kids immediately. While the people in the red uniforms choked them out whi weren't stabbed and started putting them in bags. Lucia's mother, Larah rushed into an old building with her friends and immediately they got shot, trying to open the door. Larah later found herself in chains covered in blood. She looked around and seen all the kids around her dead. She kept throwing up and later seen a video of the people putting the kids blood into the tubes then feeding it to her. As she tried to escape the scientist leader Zues came in and forced her to eat a humans heart. After a few weeks of just feeding her human flesh she eventually died. Another fail subject he said. Later she wakes up in a capsule unable to feel anything. She was completely healed from the pain. The uncle was shocked they kidnapped eighteen kids on a bus to become test subjects, just for the government to use for creating weapons. She was killed and brought back multiple times and eventually she became the first project in history to be complete. The government was working on a human killing machine. They weren't sure wgat else they put in her to fully make her into this crazy weapon. Suppose to be used to destroy humanity when the time comes. Larah has lost her soul. She was called a monster in human form. The mother also wrote explaining that the way Lucia acts is Larah's lost personality. She also explained that Lucia might also not be human. Uncle further explained this sayinh when Larah gave birth, she was experiencing pain for the first time. It was going to kill her the way she kept losing blood. That Heartless virus is keeping Larah alive and if she gives birth again, it could potentially kill her. The Uncle said her father was sad because he always wanted twins or two little girls but that is now impossible. He dreamed of having twins ever since he was little... Her father didn't honestly care after he met her mother. He had found her to be more of a dream than he could ever ask for.

Later that night, Lucia began reading more of the diary her mother gave her that told her how her life was. The blood she has is some type of drug the humans been testing on for years mixture with the meteorite that has crashed to earth few years ago. They call them "Spirits". Larah didn't know all the information but she knew how it felt. Lucia seemed to know bits of what it was. Her friend in school would mention that her eyes change depending on the situation. Lucia wasn't sure if that made her a spirit but for now, she had to accept that possibility. Back to reading, Larah explained that people outside the village are very strict and to be careful if they are ever able to leave. People are very sweet she described.

"People can be very interesting, like lemons! Lemons can be a bit too sour but also very sweet! Lemons are.. Lemons! I really love lemons. Just like I love my papa and mama. Even the teachers and friends around me!! They can be harsh.. and also nice! They are.. just people~! You might get tired of the people around you from how annoying they can get, but the feeling of being loved by them will always blow away those feelings! Even Lemons have a great taste once in a while!"

She then explained that her husband escape the Village twice which is why they are in this situation. But he manage to find the village she was held at and saved her while freeing some other random victims. Once they got back the leader of Pathway knew he left but he let it slide this one time. After reading this, Lucia ran downstairs and gave her mother a hugged and cried. The father said it was okay and not to cry and Lucia replied with,

"I'm not crying for me. I'm crying for her."

Larah felt touched by this and although she couldn't exactly feel any emotion, she did felt somewhat happy for her daughter accepting her. Lucia promise when she gets back from her trip she plans on taking her mother somewhere that she found during her walks with Shade. Lucia also complemented her father, thought it was badass that he was saving people including her. Although she was crying for her mother, Lucia was indeed crying. An emotion that means sadness.

Two weeks past and after finally graduated Low rank of her school. Lucia comes home hearing a baby crying near the door. Immediately she knew what has happen and burst into tears as she rushes in. She seen her mother on the couch. The father was crying, looking at Lucia and didn't know what to say. The mother also had bruises on her and marks on her face. Signs that she was beaten. Lucia calls for her mother but she didn't respond. She has died.. quickly grabbed the kitchen knife, walking towards the baby noise and rush to it trying to stab it directly in the throat. The uncle who was carrying the baby was dodging all her attacks then yelled, telling the father to run. As the father escaped Lucia then chased after him. The father was screaming, terrified at her own daughter who was trying to kill him. Eventually he got tired of running and Lucia tackled him then went to stab him multiple times in the head. People at Pathway seen this but just stayed quiet and hid their children away, not wanting them to question what just happen. Lucia didn't stop as she purposely kept stabbing the father in areas so he wouldn't die just so she can let him feel the pain she was going through. After an hour past she walked away from the corpse, heading to her home to kill the baby. The uncle and baby had already left. Leaving her alone with her dead mother.
