Whammy's Candy Rose
11/29/2010
This is a story I have been meaning to do for some time now. It's about earlier days at Whammy's house, and one sweet intelligent young girl, brought to Wammy's from a bad situation, who changes the lives of a very young Mello, Matt Near, & even L forever. There will be a lot of OCness in this story, and a few crossover characters from a couple other series in future chapters, but that's my lil secret for now. The first chapter is just more of an introduction for Candy, & she will arrive at Whammy's house later. I own nothing except my own Oc's Death Note belongs to Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata, although I wish I owned L. lol. Now on with the story
Chapter 1-A Mother's Choice
London England-1994
Bianca Ashford knew the time was drawing near to make the toughest decision of her life, one she had been dreading for the past ten years. She was going to have to give up her little girl Candace, as protection from her greedy ponce Bradley Grayson, who already had begun eyeing her little girl, Candy, and asking her for private chats, while Bianca was at work. Bianca had spoken to an elderly gentlemen, one of her clients had referred her, to who ran an orphanage for gifted children
The man she had spoken to briefly had agreed to meet up with Bianca & her daughter, Candy, to run a few 'intelligence tests' as he had put it the following afternoon, Bianca exhausted from an earlier meeting with a client, collapsed on the couch, waving to her friend Monica, who had been watching Candy for her the previous evening. "Thanks Monica, I owe you one, we'll do lunch later ok?"
"Sure thing Bianca, Candy was a lil angel, she helped me make scones for you, and everything. See ya." Monica said waving as she headed out the door.
Smiling, softly at her sweet little girl, sleeping peacefully on the couch, Bianca stroked her daughters soft burgundy curls gently, her lovely violet eyes with the long lashes fluttering gently as she slept in her pink heart pajamas. Sweet & generous, Candy had always had gracious manners, with a kind heart, and a loving nature, she willingly shared her few toys with the other children, & helped her mom out around the house, and her 'aunties' when they came to visit. She loved to help bake cakes and cookies, and was getting really good at it. Home schooled all her young life Candy showed an intelligence rate that was quite good for a ten year old, she could read and write excellently, was skilled in history & math, and was a wonderful artist as well as highly inquisitive.
"She should do well on the test, Mr Whammy told me about earlier," Bianca thought to herself, startling a bit as Candy, shifted a bit, then slowly opened her eyes. "Hello Mum, how was your evening, are you hungry? Auntie Monica, and I made scones if you are. "Oh thank you Candy dear, that would be wonderful." Bianca replied watching her little 10 year old daughter scamper off into the kitchen to start the tea & get the scones, dreading the choice she was going to have to make, the next morning at 10:30, with Mr Quillish Whammy, founder of Whammy's House for gifted children, for her daughters screening for acceptance into the orphanage. "Damn that Bradley Grayson, if he just could have kept his lecherous hands out of this, and left her alone, this wouldn't be happening now!" Bianca thought angrily. "There's no way my little Candy is going to work for that creep, and be forced to live the life I've been forced to live all these years." She thought, forcing a strained smile as Candy bounced back into the room with a tray with tea & scones, carefully balanced, and set them down in front of her mother. "Enjoy Mom, they're really good, Hey lets watch tv, then you go lay down awhile Okay?" Candy beamed as her mom took a bite chewing thoughtfully, as she remembered a terrible promise forced upon her long ago, and the decision she had to make.
BIANCA'S MEMORY-TEN YEARS EARLIER-
Bianca Ashford had run away from home at 15 years of age to escape an abusive drunken father & had met a man in the streets, who promised her a warm place to visit, and a new life, if she wanted to come work for him. Bradley Grayson, ran an escort service, and said she had what it took to be successful in the 'business' Unfortunately for the unknowing Bianca at the time, it had been the sex business, and she had to bust her butt long sweaty evenings, with dirty men, who payed little and cared less. Bradley had been furious when she had gotten pregnant at 17, from a careless mistake, but when the baby turned out to be a girl, he relented a little. She had considered dumping the baby on a doorstep, but found she didn't have the heart, as the baby cooed up at her, with big innocent violet eyes, & giggled. She decided to keep the baby after all and named her Candace, calling her Candy for short, but when the baby was three weeks old Bradley paid a visit and gave her a choice, she could keep the baby, but.."Only if she comes to work for me as one of my escorts, when she's old enough." Bradley had said an evil sneer on his face as he blew cigar smoke into the horrified teenage mother's face. "Heh like mother, like daughter, eh Bianca?" Bradley laughed evilly, as Bianca protested in horror.
"But Bradley, please you can't, she's just a child, please don't make me do this." Bianca pleaded as Bradley smacked her across the face. "I can do whatever I want ya little bitch, remember who's master around here. You'll do what I say if you wanna keep the brat." Wincing in pain at her bruised cheek, Bianca gazed down at the sleeping infant, kissing her tiny cheek gently, as Bradley, her ponce strode out the door, slamming it behind him, the glass shattering, as Candace awoke and began crying. "Damn you Bradley, you won't get away with this, we'll think of something, Candy, Mommy will protect you somehow. Bianca thought in despair, as she comforted her child.
END MEMORY-PRESENT DAY
The next day Tuesday morning had arrived. It was December 3rd, Christmas was fast approaching, and the day had arrived for Candy's screening with Mr Whammy, for the orphanage, and the day Bianca would say goodbye to her little girl forever.
"Mommy where are we going?" Candy asked curiously, looking adorable in the little pink lace dress, her friend Annabeth had given her, for the occasion, complete with a little pink velvet cape lined with fake white fur, her long burgundy curls caught up with a pink & white bow, and little white lace trimmed ankle socks, with black mary jane shoes." She looks so cute." Bianca thought sadly as Candy tugged at her sleeve, and said. "Mommy is everything Okay?" as Bianca wiped a tear, and smiled down at her little girl. "Yes sweety, everything is going to be fine. Your um er, Grandpa whom you've never meet before is gonna take you to live at his house with lots of other kids, but he's gonna ask you some questions first to get to know you first, Okay sweety?"
"But Mommy, I lke living with you, and my Aunties, why do I have to go away? Don't you love me anymore?" Candy asked sadly tears welling up in her big violet eyes. Feeling her heart break in two as she fought back the tears, Bianca hugged her daughter tightly, then braced herself as they arrived at the arranged meeting spot. A small coffee shop a few streets down, opening the door to Accapello Coffee Café, the small bell on the door chimed, as Bianca braced herself then walked inside, leading an unhappy Candy inside. From one of the tables in the back an older gentleman who looked to be in his sixties arose from a table near the back, where he had been waiting, accompanied by a young black haired boy, who looked about thirteen, who had been eating a piece of shortcake and drinking tea.
End Chapter 1.
Well what do you think? Candy has been introduced and is meeting Mr Whammy and young L for the first time. Don't worry, she and L won't become friends until later. Chapter 2 will be up soon, will Candy become an official Whammy's house resident? This is set much earlier so all characters involved will be much younger than their original ages in Death Note. Review please. Reviews fuel me. Virtual cookies and cake from Candy to all reviewers.
