DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DEATH NOTE.
*Chapter 1*
Zinnia POV 'The weather in England is awful' I though as the car took another turn. 'I don't get why British people are so keen on talking about it' I was sitting in the backseat, cuddled in a little ball. Mr Watari, the old man who was driving the car, found me on the street and told me that he was going to take me to a safe place. An orphanage, called Whammy's. I just nodded when he told me this, I couldn't take living on the street anymore, I would have probably died. So now I was staring out the car window. We passed a lot of buildings before we finally arrived at the orphanage. It was a very big building with massive doors.
The car came to a stop and Mr Watari got out, then helped me out. I shook my head so my dark brown, almost black hair, would fall freely. My bangs covered half of my face. People often asked me if I was emo because of my hair style. But that was stupid, I just liked my hair like that. I rubbed my eyes, yawning.
"Mr Watari?" I asked as he helped me up the stairs of the building. I was really hungry after weeks of not eating almost anything.
"Yes, Zinnia?" He smiled politely at me.
"When can I... uhm, eat?" I asked quietly. He chuckled.
"Just wait a second." He said and put me to sit on a chair in the corridor."Wait here, I am coming right away."
I nodded. He walked off and I looked around. The building was very big and cozy. I closed my eyes, but the second I did that, the awful memories of a few weeks ago came back to me. That's what the silence of the orphanage did to me.
I snapped my eyes open and gulped. I saw Mr Watari coming towards me with something in his hands.
"There you go." He gave me the sandwich and a bottle of water. I took small bites of the food and small gulps of water until I finally finished everything. Mr Watari threw the bottle in a bin.
"Are you feeling okay now?" He asked. I nodded.
"Considerably."
The old man smiled and took me to a room with one bed and a wardrobe, along with a bathroom. It was really nice and cozy. Well, compared to the street...
I sat on the bed.
"Here is really nice, Mr Watari." I said and looked at him." Thank you." I said quietly. The old man chuckled and nodded.
"Of course, Zinnia." He said." I am going to leave you alone now, but if you need something, you can find me down the hall in the living room."he instructed me. I nodded and he walked away, closing the door. Silence engulfed me once again.
I didn't have anything to do, so I decided to look around the orphanage. I got out of the room and started wandering the corridors. They never seemed to end. As I was walking, lost in thought, I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean to... I wasn't looking." I started to apologize.
"Don't worry. You must be Zinnia, the new girl." A red-haired boy holding a PSP helped me up."I'm Matt. And I wasn't looking either." He smiled. I nodded.
"Yes, indeed, I am Zinnia. It's nice to meet you, Matt." I said quietly. He grinned.
"So... you know, why are you here?" He asked.
"Mr Watari found me on the street after I have lost my parents so he took me here."
"Yes, we are all like that, but don't you have some special ability? Like, most of us are super smart, or techy, like me, or other things. What about you?" He explained. I shrugged.
"I don't really know..." I mumbled. He looked at me strangely but shrugged.
"Well, even if you don't know now, you're bound to find out sooner or later."he smiled and put his goggles on his eyes.
"Why are you wearing these?" I asked after a few minutes of silence, the only noise coming from the PSP.
He looked up at me, pausing his game. He shrugged and then looked down again, continuing with his game. We walked through the corridors, me following him, because I had no idea where we were going.
"Why are you following me?" He asked without stopping his game.
"I have no idea where to go. I will probably get lost if I wandered myself like before I bumped into you." I answered monotonous. He chuckled.
"I suppose." He mumbled.
"Hey, Matt!" Somebody yelled. I saw blonde boy with really long hair and leathery clothes running towards us. He was holding a half eaten chocolate in his hand.
"What is it, Mello?" Matt stopped his game and looked at the boy, putting his goggles on his forehead. So the blonde was called Mello.
"L is going to visit!" He whisper shouted with wide eyes and a big grin.
"No way." Matt's eyes widened.
"Yes way. He is coming because of this new girl here, he claims she has some special ability noone has ever had or something." Mello said and took a bit of his chocolate.
"You mean Zinnia?" Matt asked. I was surprised Mello hasn't seen me still. I mean, I was small enough to hide behind Matt, but come on.
"Uhm, yeah, I think that was her name."he nodded, now more composed and tough looking. I stepped out from behind Matt.
"I am right here." I said monotone voice. I was getting pretty good in that. Mello's eyes widened as he saw me.
"Sooo... what is your ability?" He asked and Matt chuckled. I arched an eyebrow.
"Nice to meet you too." I said and looked at him rollung his eyes.
"Yeah, screw that, what is your ability?"he asked again. I sighed and shrugged.
"I have no idea." I mumbled. He facepalmed and groaned.
"Argh, thid is stupid!" He exclaimed eating another piece of chocolate.
"Where do you get this from?" I asked looking at the chocolate and licking my lips. He looked at me weirdly.
"The canteen?" He said sarcastically. I looked up at him but didn't say anything.
"Please, everyone, get into the living room. We have a special guest today." The speakers boomed and I covered my ears.
"Ow!" I muttered.
"Come on, it wasn't that loud." Mello smirked.
"Shut up, Mello." Matt rolled his eyes and continued playing his game.
We walked to the living room where there were a lot of kids, but one caught my eye. He was an albino and was sitting weirdly on the ground, one knee pulled to his chest so he would rest his chin on it and his other leg was under the first. He was building a tower from absolutely white cards, then ruining it and making it all over. He looked really concentrated on what he was doing, his white hair falling over his eyes. I followed Mello and Matt and sat with them on the floor.
"Do you... do you mind me tagging along with you two? I don't know anyone here..." I asked them quietly. Mello shrugged and Matt smiled at me, nodding.
"Sure." He said and returned to his game. Unfortunately, his battery died. Fortunately, he had a DS in his pocket. I shrugged it off and crossed my legs, looking at the albino once again.
"Who is he?" I asked. Mello looked at me and then at the albino boy. "That's Near. He's a weird kid, but he is the smartest here." He growled the last part. Those two were obviously having some competition. I nodded and mumbled a 'thanks'.
Then suddenly Mr Watari came into the room, making everybody fall silent. Excitement buzzed through the air, though I wasn't that excited. I mean, I knew L was the greatest detective ever, but I didn't see what is so special about him. Or, for that matter, about me.
"Okay, children, I suppose you already know know why you are here."he said and everybody nodded. I looked at them strangely.
Mr Watari smiled and went to sit in his atmchair in the corner of the room. Then a boy... or a man... in his mid twenties I think came into the room. He had black messy hair that went everywhere just like mine. His big panda like eyes scanned the room. He was wearing a simple white shirt and baggy jeans, one of his hands in his pocket, the other was up to his mouth. He was biting on his thumb.
"I'm L."he announced and waited for everybody to calm down. The only unphased were the albino and I." Who of you is Zinnia?"he asked in the same monotone voice I use. Well, his was male, but still...
I stood up from my place. "That's me."I said with an emotionless mask and voice.
"I would like to have a little talk with you, Zinnia."he murmured looking me up and down like I was some sort of alien he had to understand.
I nodded and followed him to Mr Watari's office. Mr Watari was already there, waiting for us. I entered the room to find L sitting... no, rather crouching on one of the two chairs that were in front of the desk and I sat on the other one, crossing my legs.
"Zinnia... how did you lose your parents?"he asked, his eyes carefully studying me. My own eyes, that were also quite big, widened.
"I... I don't know..." I mumbled, gulping. I was fighting tears back, remembering everything from that night. I did know how they died. But I did not want anybody elso to know.
"Please tell me everything you know. Watari, would you mind getting us some strawberrie cake. Do you like strawberries?" L said all of this in the same monotone voice.
"Yes, I do." I answered and Mr Watari exited the room to get the cake.
"Would you please tell me?" L asked again. I looked into his eyes.
"Why do you want to know so much, L? I asked quietly.
"It is of big importance. I have a theory, because I know the basics of what has happened to your parents, but I need to know if this is true." He explained. I sighed.
"Can you... can you promise not to tell anyone?" I asked and looked him in the eyes once again. The detective locked gazes with me for what seemed like an eternity and at the end, he nodded.
"I promise." He said.
"My parents... I killed them." I whispered and his eyes widened.
