When the clock hit 3pm Leon was arriving at the estate, it was a relatively big house for the area, it had lovely white tinted windows, a simple and elegant garden with pretty flowers, the door was a shimmering brown that reflected the sun. The keiichis were the second most powerful after “The Silence”, they were feared by all, and those who didn't fear them didn't live to explain why. Leon was told to be weary of both the Silence and Mr keiichi, people would cower in fear if either one stepped in a single room, and today they were going to be in the same room. Leon was nervous for the meeting but he tried to stay professional, not letting his emotions get the better of him, Leon went inside.
When he entered he noticed that everyone was standing around with glasses socialising, Leon felt a but awkward just standing there but he was standing tall, and beaming with false confidence. They all began taking their seats, putting their glasses down and waiting for everyone to join them. Leon took his seat and sat up straight trying to act natural, the head of the keiichis walked in and sat at the head of the table. There were a few seats empty, slowly people started funneling into their chairs from the crowd.
When the second last person sat down, they all waited for someone. This was confusing since it doesn't seem like these people wait around for anyone, and yet they were waiting patiently, out of respect… or fear.
A puff of black smoke appeared and when it went away a person was sitting in the in the chair. The person was sitting casually as nothing happened, so was the head of the keiichis, everyone else was frozen in fear. The person… was a… girl.
Mr keiichi spoke up after a few seconds of feared silence, “w… welcome, Silence… it is lovely to have you here and we welcome you into my home with open arms.“ he said putting on a brave face, there were a few moments were it looked like he didn't know what to say.
She was terrifying, ominous, creepy, respected and so many more words that Leon couldn't put to his mind. She was also quite stunning. Her name is apparently
"the Silence", she is feared by everyone as she is known to be the strongest gift user out there.
She had short strawberry blonde hair, a light amount of freckles, mystical eyes, one like lapis, it was a really beautiful shade of light blue with white, the other was completely blacked out except for rings of deep blood red in the center. She was wearing a long suit jacket almost scraping the floor, and a white shirt, she was also wearing black trousers and black boots. She was a woman in a mob bosses world.
It was going well for the most part, no one had died yet, and that is more common than you'd think in the business. It was quiet and boring for Leon not understanding the half of it, he was content with the situation… until one very dumb man decided to speak up, the man was a lower rank then Leon, but a higher rank then some of the other people in the room, the man stood up and said dramatically,
“I would like to know why we haven't thrown this so called… Silence to the curb, she is a girl, just a girl, a child, she has no authority or power against all of us together.” He said to the group, the entire table looked horrified and confused, so did Leon, he was confused on why he spoke up, wasn't she literally more powerful then them all?
Then dramatically. All she did was look at the man with those terrifying eyes and he was forced back into his seat, telekinesis maybe?, he was struggling against her forcing power and strength. She wasn’t even breaking a sweat, as if it was easy for everyone to force a… and not to be rude but, to force a fat man down to his seat. The man was regretting those words as he lost the battle against his own tears, they start falling down his face showing how truly terrifying this silence was, she wasn’t just a girl, she was just a beast, unstoppable and untamed, she could destroy the world if she so pleased.
The man gave in, he let go of the resistance he held and sank into his chair, he accepted defeat. She let go of her power as well and turned to face the room saying,
“please pardon his interruption and continue“
The room was starstruck with confusion and fear, Leon was one of these people, he couldn’t believe his eyes, here he was not being able to move a finger, across from the girl who could force a man into his seat without being tired. The people not wanting to upset her even more, they continue the meeting.
The meeting was coming to a close, the topics of the meeting were pretty localised between, who are our allies and who are our enemies… pretty boring right. Leon thought so too, he still didn’t understand much but he listened when it mattered in order to survive the meeting… Literally.
The man that silence had forced into his seat didn’t move or twitch a muscle, not even the ones at the end of his fingers, all in order to not upset the silence even more. She hadn’t said much, she just chimed in on group decisions. Leon was thinking about what his father said to him, maybe he had been overreacting.
Then… of course, something dramatic happened…
In a second, no, in half a second and a loud BANG, the window shattered into a million pieces on the floor, there was a bullet approaching the head of the table, where Mr keiichi was sitting, it was approaching with speed and strength with no sign of slowing down, a bullet, singular, could kill the 2nd most powerful person in the room...
“WHAT…“ someone shouted with fear and confusion, no-one had even been so bold with the assassinations before… who knew about the meeting?
(Just incase anyone actually looks at this... merry Christmas!)
The most powerful mob boss in the mafia, and the son of a boss. When these two form an unlikely friendship things get interesting, but how will she react when he tries to dig up her past?
