Running was all I could do. Everyone was dead. My friends, family, and loved ones. Everyone. Innocent kids, moms, dads, and animals were even killed. I was the last one. And all I could do was run...

*10 years earlier*

The air outside felt so refreshing to me. Walking hand in hand with my girlfriend, Emily, we smiled as we headed to the park. They said on the news that there might be a war starting soon. Something about how there was "too many people" trying to "gain power" or something stupid like that. All I cared about was my life now and my girlfriend. "Eric, common! The store might be packed by now!" Emm dragged me to the store that I promised I would take her too. It was this new store that I forgot the name of but I knew that she liked it.

She dragged me into the store and let go of my hand to look around. I smiled at her. I loved her so much. The way the light bounced off of her light brown hair. The way her eyes shone when she looked at me or did something that she was passionate about. I loved her smile the most. She smiled a lot but only gave me this special type of smile. She only smiled it around me and me alone. I always felt so special around her and I was lucky to have her. "Eric!" She called me. I walked over to her. "What about this one?" She held up a sky blue skirt that had flowers on it. It was knee length and I thought it made her look cute.

"I love it." I told her. She smiled that special smile and turned away to go get a top. I let her pick out as much stuff as she wanted because it was her birthday. June 5th. After spending about an hour in the store, she was ready to check out. All together, she had two skirts, a pair of pants, a jacket, and three tops. I paid and we left. "Did you get everything you wanted, Love?" She shook her head yes and kissed my cheek.

"Its getting kind of cloudy. Maybe we should stat heading back." Suddenly, we heard thunder and then it started sprinkling. Emm squealed and then started laughing. I laughed too and we both ran home. Getting inside, I hung up her coat while she went to get some towels. "Here is your towel, sir."

"Why, thank you." I grabbed the towel and then acted like I was going to chase her. She squealed and ran away. I went to follow into the kitchen when she went around the kitchen table. She went left, I followed. She went right, I followed her too. I took a fake left then went right and caught her. Emm started laughing when I started tickling her. After she was out of breath, I let her go and went to watch the news. I turned it to a channel and listened.

"After watching and investigating the murderer named Kira, the famous detective, L, has finally revealed his identify. He held a press conference earlier today and-what was that? This just in, the great detective L has been found dead. Apparently, he died of what looks like a heart attack. COuld this be the work of the killer Kira? Stay tuned for more."

"Oh my gosh, Eric. L being dead... How could Kira do that?" Emily said as I held her by my side.

"I don't know Emily. I just don't know."
