Hey, I decided to change the story some! Sorry for people who actually liked it.
A young girl ran through a forest. She had black long hair that went to her knees. She had grey eyes and was very pale, as though as she had seen a ghost. She was being chased by a man. A man she once thought as her brother. Monster. That was what he was now. He was now an evil, vile, bloodthirsty monster! The girl tripped over a tree limb and broke her ankle. She screamed in pain and frustration. She crawled backwards to a tree that had a hole in it. She thought she could crawl through the hole and hide from the man. She started to crawl into the hole when the man grabbed her by her ankle and threw her against an old dead tree. Her vision swam. Her brother stared at her with blood red eyes. He ran at her like a wild animal. He grabbed her wrist and twisted it backwards. She whimpered in pain. His eyes softened and his grip loosened. All of the sudden, her brother tightened his grip and sank his teeth into her already broken wrist. She screamed again and tears filled her vision. As her world faded, she heard one last thing. "I'm sorry…."
Was this what her life was meant to be?
Murdered by her own brother?
At only the age of three?
Her world slipping from her…
Whispers are heard… Speaking a language she does not know…
"Your majesty, are you're sure you want to keep her alive?" The voice sounded amused.
"Yes, she will be the one who shall get my Death Note, but not now. When she turns 18." A wise and powerful voice said.
Her curious mind wanted her to open her eyes to see these… They didn't even sound human! But her eyes felt too heavy to open.
She awoke in a hospital room. She hissed lightly at the brightness of the room. Her now red eyes saw a very tired and angry police officer and a sleeping boy. The boy looked about the same age of her. She jumped at the booming sound of the police man.
"I will NOT let you experiment on her. For god's sake, she is only three! I will not let you treat her like an animal!" The police man said angrily.
"I understand your anger, but Officer Yagami, she could lead us to creating advanced super soldiers!" The doctor exclaimed.
"NO! She is a human being!" The officer roared.
"Well, what are you going to do? If we could get her to wake up, we could get her to tell us who she is, and get her parents to let us." The doctor said smugly.
"What if she doesn't remember?" Officer Yagami asked.
"I'll adopt her and experiment on her all I want." The Doctor said.
"You know what? I'll adopt her. At least then she'll be safe from you and your scientists!" Officer Yagami said. The girl fell back asleep and awoke five days later. She saw Officer Yagami and the boy. She looked around, absorbing every detail she can. The boy noticed she wake up and told Officer Yagami. They walked to her bed.
"We were beginning to think you would never wake up, kiddo." He said in a joking manner.
"What happened? Why can I not remember my own name, sir?" As she said this, Officer Yagami smiled in triumph as the doctor sighed.
"This is just what I feared. I believe you have amnesia." He said forming a plan. The girl narrowed her eyes at him.
"Can't you match my DNA to find my name? How long have I been unconscious?" The girl asked. The doctor visibly shook under the red eyed girl's gaze.
"Um, well. We already tried to match your DNA-Wait; do you even know what DNA is?" He snapped back.
"DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus, where it is called nuclear DNA, but a small amount of DNA can also be-" She was cut off by the doctor.
"How do you know about that?" The doctor said still shocked. The girl sighed and fiddled with the end of her hospital gown.
"Books. Anyway, why did you not give me an IV?" She asked.
"The reason we did not you give an IV was because every time we tried to give you one, the needle would break against your skin. Which is very interesting, maybe we could try one more time, we'll get better results." He said hiding a small smirk. The girl simply nodded and held out her uninjured wrist. She held her breath and closed her eyes when the doctor got the needle out. Slowly bringing the needle to the girl's wrist, the doctor smiled wickedly. Snap! The smile turned into a frown seconds after the needle broke. The girl opened her eyes and smiled at the sight.
"Well, I guess that didn't work!" The girl muttered. The doctor glared at her. She blankly stared back. After what seemed the years the doctor looked at his watch and said she could leave at any time.
"Would you like to live with me? I'm sure you would just love it there!" The doctor exclaimed.
"No, thanks. Or should it be no, no thanks? I heard what you said earlier- about wanting to experiment on me. I'd rather not become a human lab rat." The girl stated dryly.
The doctor left fumbling and the officer, the young boy, and the girl were left in the room. The young boy stepped forward confidently.
"I'm Yagami Light!" He said. The officer stepped forward as well.
"And I am Yagami Soichiro. Child, sense you cannot remember your family, would you like to live with us? There are also Sachiko, my wife, and Sayu, my daughter, at home." He proposed. The girl thought for a moment and answered.
"As long as I am called Mai, I will stay with you all." She said. Light and Soichiro exchanged confused glances. The family with a newly added Mai went home. Mai was in her new room looking at her surroundings. In the corner of the room was a full body mirror. She walked over to it curiously. She was shocked to find that she was unhealthily pale and had red eyes. Taking her broken wrist, she carefully unwrapped it. Her wrist wasn't broken anymore! Her finger traced her new scar where her brother bit her. A burning sensation shot up her throat, both of her hands flew up to her neck. Opening her window, she jumped out the two story window to land on her feet. Running through the streets, she turned into an alley. Four men followed shortly. They were all drunk.
"Hey, com'ere, little girl!" One man shouted. The men cornered Mai at the end of the alley. She turned around sharply with her red eyes glowing. One of the smaller men gasped. She then attacked them. After drinking their blood, she finally regained control of herself. Seeing the dead bodies, she screamed and ran home. Climbing up the wall, she pulled herself through the opened window. Sobbing slightly, she dressed in a night gown and crawled under her covers. Darkness overcame her.
14 years later
Mai now had a GPA of 4.0, while Light only had 3.8. She would always pick on him, saying 'Do what I say, I'm smarter than you!' She and her group planned to take the entrance exam with Light. Her group consisted of Light, Bella, Jay, JJ, and Adam. Almost everyone in the group was foreign exchange students that planned to stay in Japan.
Mai was still pale, and she still had her red eyes. If you thought once a person is bitten, they would never age again, well your mistaken. If someone was turned under the age of 16, they will still age until they are 18. They are nothing like the Twilight vampires, they don't sparkle nor affected by the Sun. The only things that define them as vampires were immortality, red eyes, very pale skin and the need to drink blood. Nothing could kill them, expect for other vampires, werewolves or Gods of Death. Mai wore a black trench coat, white shirt, black pants and black skater shoes. She has a black necklace cross around her neck.
Bella, or Jayla Hope, was a vampire. She came from Canada and she had brown shoulder length hair and she had black eyes. She wore a yellow shirt with orange sleeves, light blue jeans, and orange flip-flops. She was dating Light Yagami. Jay, or Jaden Hope, came from Ireland. She had midnight black hair and completely white eyes. She was 18 and had no relation to Bella. She wore a red shirt that had a black belt around her waist. She wore black pants and plane black shoes. She was also a vampire. JJ, or Jordan Johnson, came from America. She was 18 and a werewolf. She had short brown hair and icy blue eyes. She wore a black shirt with a skull on it and grey jeans. She wore black flip-flops and she was dating Adam. Adam, or Antonio Wilson, was a vampire. He had brown hair and red eyes. He came from England and wore a black shirt and blue jeans with black shoes.
Mai was lying on her bed. Her and Light share a room because they moved into a smaller house. Mai was waiting until it was time to go to school. Her trench coat was folded neatly beside her. On her desk was a picture of her group. Everyone was smiling except her. A voice pulled her from her thoughts.
"Mai, it's time to go!" Light yelled. She stood up and threw her coat on. She grabbed her books and walked to the door.
"I'm coming!" She said loudly back so they would be ready. Running down the hall, she skidded to a stop and slid down the stair handrail. When she reached the bottom, she landed perfectly on her feet. Her group was in the living room as usual, waiting for Mai.
"Bout time, emo gal!" Jay exclaimed.
"Whatever, just put your contacts on!" She said noticing that they did not have their contacts on. They quickly put their contacts on and walked to school.
After school
Mai decided to walk home alone after school since everyone else had plans. She in deep thought about how everyone she knows is dating one another. She was pulled from her thoughts when she was hit in the head with something light. She looked around for the source of her pain. She found a black book that said 'Death Note' on the ground. Raising a black eyebrow, she carefully picked up the book. After reading the first page, she decided to keep it. She noticed that under the words 'Death Note' it has a small silver crown.
'I want to help people, not kill people!' Mai thought angrily after doing some research on the death note. She had written a criminal's name in the note and he died. Although she refused to use the death note again, she kept it with her at all times. She kept it in the inside pocket of her coat.
35 days later
It was night time and Light was sleeping soundly in his bed. Mai couldn't sleep so everyone that didn't know she was a vampire considered her insomniac. She decided to climb the wall and sit on the roof. After two and half hours of staring at the moon she heard a strange noise. She looked up to see a cloaked figure floating in the sky.
"Are you the welder of the royal death note?" It asked. It's face hidden by the hood.
"Yes." Mai said.
"Would you like to know what it does and how to use it?" She nodded. "The human whose name is written in the note shall die, but this note is different. If you write a name than erase it, that person will be brought back, but you have to do this with in ten minutes of that person dying. The note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The note shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of the human world. The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, i.e. a god of death. You do not recognize me, because this is the king's note. He is far to busy to come here. The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell. If the time of death is written within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name…" It explained everything as Mai listened. After it explained Mai started asking questions.
"Are you male? Or female? Please don't be offended." She asked.
"Male." He said with an amused face.
"What's your name? We have talked for three hours and I still don't know your name!" She asked noticing it was 5 O' clock.
"I am Rue." He said.
"Huh, is that a nickname, alias, or your real name?" She asked. He thought for a moment.
"Alias."
After school Mai and her friends were sitting in the living room watching the news.
"Kira has killed up to one hundred criminals! When will this terror end?" The TV boomed. Light turned off the TV angrily.
"Even though they are criminals, they do not deserve this!" JJ yelled. The rest of the teenagers agreed. Soichiro walked into the room with Matsuda.
"Mai, we need to talk to you in the kitchen." He said. Mai followed them into the kitchen.
"Yes?" She said when she was sure she was alone.
"L wants you and a selective few to join the investigation team." Soichiro said getting to the point.
"Okay, who are the selective few?" She asked. Soichiro and Matsuda exchanged glances.
"He said you can choose three people." Matsuda said. Mai thought for a moment.
"Bella, Jay, and JJ." She said after much thought.
"Why them?" He asked.
"I know they are quiet smart and I trust them." She said. There walked back into the living room. Everyone was talking away and some were yelling. JJ and Jay were in the middle of a pillow fight and they others were fighting over the TV.
"Erm, listen up!" Matsuda said quietly. No one listened.
"SHUT UP!" Mai yelled. Everyone stopped and stared. JJ caught in mid swing.
"This is important. There of you get to join the investigation team with Mai. L had said she could choose. So Mai, choose..." Soichiro said pushing Mai forward. She fell anime style with blue lines on her face. She quietly stood up and said.
"Bella, Jay, and JJ." Light's face fell.
