Death Note: Amelia's Story
Chapter 1- Prologue
Author's POV
Amelia Henderson was your typical English girl. She had dark green eyes and brown shoulder-length hair. She was skilled in one other language besides English and that was French, she was also a secret music prodigy. From the ages of 5 to 12 she lived in Winchester, England near an orphanage called Wammy's orphanage. Whenever her mother, Sarah Henderson, would take a walk and she came along they always went by there and she would take a quick glance at the prestigious orphanage for it was the home of many geniuses in different subject (Art, Music, Science, etc.). Her parents told her if anything were to happen to them she might just be sent there, but she'd have to reveal her knowledge in music first. She was willing to do so if anything were to happen at all.
It was a cold but sunny Monday morning on August the 15th of the year 1990 (She was 8 at this time) when she received the news of her uncle, Glen McKinsey, who was put in jail for killing her aunt, his wife, Kara McKinsey, had gotten out of jail early…..only to come here and kill her parents for some unknown reason. It might've been because her parents were the ones to have seen him the act, having come over to talk to her aunt about the upcoming family reunion, or it might've been because he still claimed that they didn't pay him back the money they owed to him. They did pay it back but he was drunk senselessly so he might've not remembered when they did it. However when she received this news she was at school, working on a small art project, she didn't want to believe it. She couldn't believe that someone would travel all the way across the country or world just to kill someone. Even though she has heard of this kind of thing before it was still utterly stupid in her own small mind.
After their funeral she received many condolences from relatives all over and other people who were friends or knew her parents. It all got eventually annoying. Then she saw him. She saw a man in a dark grey trench coat and hat standing outside the entrance of the church they were in. Knowing what her parents taught her about these kinds of situations she got one of the adults to go see what this person wanted. Taking another person with them they walked outside and talked to this person eventually it came when they told her to come outside. When she got out there she was still kind of cautious even with her family close by. It was a natural feeling.
The man, whose name was Wammy as she eventually learned, was the owner of the prestigious orphanage she always looked at on her walks with her mother. He said that he's heard how she was a music prodigy, also having heard her playing the piano in their home a few times, and he wanted to offer her a spot in his orphanage. She was shocked at first but eventually she grew into accepting it. After going through some papers and some relatives who thought it to be better for her to live with them instead, she ended up living at the orphanage. It took a while to get used to, especially having a bunch of other kids around different from most kids, but she got the hang of it all. She grew to think that all the kids there were geniuses with kid like personalities and she was okay with that.
Then he arrived, that one boy with the dark never ending empty eyes and the messy onyx hair. He was always alone, she noticed, and he never played with any of the other children. She thought it may have had something to do with his past and she didn't throw that idea away. She had thought to try and befriend him but it seemed as if fate didn't want her to, if you believe in that sort of thing. For every time she tried to find him…she couldn't. It was as if he disappeared after classes and then reappeared in the morning time when they went again. It was frustrating and she was about to give up, for the first time in a while, when she noticed him one day sitting outside…in the winter time.
She found it odd and it confused her as to why he was sitting there when it was freezing outside. So, after getting some winter garments on, she headed over to him. He turned to her immediately after before she even stepped off the building's porch as if he expected her. She didn't question him on it as she sat down next to him. She did however ask him why he was sitting outside in such cold weather. He replied that it wasn't really cold but our bodies made it seem like it was cold. She then asked him why he didn't play with the other children and why he was alone every time she saw him, which led to why did she hardly see him around. He, to answer all her questions together, said that he had other business to attend to and that he didn't have time to play with the other children. She understood it without question, much to his amazement, and then she asked him if had any friends here. She knew his answer was most likely to be a no but she wanted to ask anyways. He did say no, like she thought, and then he asked her why was she asking him all this.
She smiled and told him that she was curious about him and wanted to know more about him so that hopefully one day they could be friends unless he wanted be friends right then and there. He took a moment to answer, having never dealt with this sort of thing, before he smiled and said that he'd like to have her as a friend for she seemed interesting. After that she had learned that his name was L, to which she wondered if there was more to it than just that letter, and she learned that he loved sweets from every kind unless it was healthy. And that day ended with her reprimanding him for that and him explaining to her about it. They then both went inside and went to their separated rooms on a happy note for they were glad to have gained a new friend.
