So I've never been one for writing much.

But then again, I don't have much of else to do anymore.

And I do love reading everyone else's.

Keep it up.

[Liv POV]

"Just as I thought." I wrote down the correct answer to the question. While science and history may end up being the death of me, math is simple. I've always been good with anything that has to do with reasoning or process of elimination.

"My skills of deduction are that of a professional detective~ ! Ohoho~"

As I was about to head downstairs to make some dinner, my phone rang.

"Saita no no hana yo…

Aa douka oshiete o-kure…

Hito wa naze… kizutsukeatte….

Arasou no deshou…. "

"Moshi-moshi?" Of course, if you didn't know me, this might be a weird way to answer the phone. But, judging by the ringtone that played, I already knew who it was. I jumped on my bed and rolled onto my back as our almost ritual conversation began.

"The teacher was so hard on us today! How could he expect us to know what he hasn't taught us yet? I heard that he called Masons parents because he was 'caught' texting during lunch. None of the other teachers care if we text during lunch."

As I listened to Sara's complaints about our social studies professor, I began chewing on the back of my pen, which I realized was still in my hand.

"He purposefully asks us questions we don't know the answers to for kicks. I bet that he gets off on that kind of thing." I closed my eyes and imagined poking the man with a stick.

"Hey hey, Have you seen the newest episode for Sword Art Online? I can't believe they got married!"

"Aah- Nononono! I haven't seen it yet. You can't tell me!" I shoved my face into my pillow and inhaled deeply. "That reminds me.. Heard any news about a second Death Note series?"

"You already know the answer to that one. It's always the same and always will be. L. Really. Died." She huffed. "You gotta suck it up. I mean, it wasn't that good anyways." I heard her mom call in the background.

"I have to go, you need to get over that anime and find a new one. Really Liv, L's just another character in an anime/manga series that happened to get killed." Her mom yelled for her again. "Yeah, yeah! I got it! Bye Liv."

"Ah, Sara, Why do you ruin my hopes and dreams? Just because he doesn't exist doesn't mean he doesn't exist." I spoke into the phone that had already been disconnected.

As I considered the true odds that there would be a second season, my stomach growled, reminding me of my previous engagement. As I hopped down the stairs and started the water boiling, I went over to my computer to check my email.

"Inbox – 4" Let's see here..

Junk. Junk. Letter from Nonna. Junk.

I'd read that one later, it would just give me a headache anyways.

I really don't like replying to emails.

I grab the remote and turn on the tv, flipping through the stations until leaving it on the news. As I continue making my food, I listened to the storm warning.

" –will bring in torrential rain and heavy winds tonight. There's a chance that these winds may cause the power to go down for some time during the nigh-" I changed the station to some show about a guy who could see Vess- something.

Just as I went to check on the water, the power died.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Using the last of the daylight, I find my way to the drawer under the microwave and pull out a flashlight.

I hurry over and check the stove, clicking it on and off a few times.

"Damn." Guess that means no hot dinner. I consider my options for food now that god has decided we don't need heat to live.

As I walk to the fridge to look for something, the flashlight goes out, giving me an eerie chill down my back.

"That's weird… I could have sworn there were new batteries." I hit the back of the flashlight a few times and try to turn it back on.

"It's useless."

"What!?" I spin around a few times, startled. I could have sworn I had heard a voice just then.. I must be losing it. The power being out is making me jumpy.

"Oh, I know! My phone! I can use it for light." I rush up the stairs with my arms outstretched so I won't fall.

As I get to the top step, I run into something, causing me to become unbalanced..

I look up and stare into sinister red eyes as I fall back.

"Yiaaaaaaaaa~ !"


(I do hope you'll review for me! It will convince me to write more. )

(I'd love advice, too. I have a basic idea, but still.)
