Death Note First Note: The California AL Kidnapping Cases

Prologue:

''Well... See you guys later.'' The blond girl said. She was short and wore a jogging sweather and black tights.

''Yeah, It's late we all should probably go home before our parents kill us...'' One of the other teenagers said.

''You sure you gonna go alone, Helen? I can walk you home If you want...'' One of the boys said, blushing.

''No need! Don't worry Mathew, I'm a big girl I can take care of myself, It's not like I'm gonna die!'' The blond girl answered while giggling.

''OK... Just be carefull...'' Mathew said worried.

Helen just gave him a teasing look and ran off while waving to her friends.

Hmm... The clock is already 11:36 I should hurry before dad kill me...

She speed up and ran down the empty streets. It was not a single soul there and the most houses where dark, It gave it all a really horror movie feeling.

If I take the shortcut trough the wood, I may spare couple of minutes... Yeah I go trough, then I don't need to run either!

Helen ran of the road and jumped over a little river and entered the woods on the other side of it. The wood was dark and It was a soft smell of wet vegetation, because of rain last night.

There was total silence, not even a bird made a noise and it kinda crept Helen out.

Jeeesh... The wood is really creepier at night time...

She turned her head into diffrent direction, Not that she was afraid that anyone followed her, but it was more instincts.

Suddenly she could hear a stick break about fifty meters behind her. Like the lighting she turned her head around to see where the sound came from.

All she saw was a couple of bushes and a three.

''W-who's there?'' She muttered.

No response.

Maybe it was just an animal of some sort... Yeah I'm sure of it.

She ignored it and turned her head back to the direction home.

She walked for a couple of minutes, until she noticed that she could hear low Riesling of footsteps.

Helen Froze up. The voice came closer and closer... Sometimes it would stop for a few seconds then start again... then stop again.

She didn't dare to turn around, she was completely in a frozen state of fear, but she forced herself and turned around carefull.

Nothing, just trees and bushes.

I-it's sure just an animal... Or I'm hearing things because I'm tired...

She repeated that thought for herself over and over, but it didn't help much.

Helen turned yet again to the direction home and started to walk home, slightly faster.

Then it was completely silence... All she could hear was her own shivering breathing.

Then suddenly she could hear something or someone ran trough the bushes. The sound came closer and closer.

Her eyes widened, This was no animal.

Then she felt two large hands grip her neck and she was forced to the ground. Her head was pushed into a rock, which made her almost faint.

Then she saw a shadowy figure trough her blurry vision, It seemed like a young man.

''S-stop!'' She yelled trying to push the man who was struggling her neck.

His face was dark, but then a white smile appeared on the dark face, As a t..he man took up a sharp object from hes pocket, It's reflection from the moonlight made clear for Helen what it was.

She let out her last scream of fear, As she paniced and tried to push the man, but for no use. He was holding her arms to the ground and sat on her belly, which made her helpless. Her scream could freeze anyones blood and it echoed trough the woods.

Then...

The scream was suddenly struggled... And the woods returned to it's silence...

Two Days Later.

''Yes?'' L answered the phone as he took a bite of hes chocolate cookie, the display showed a big W in old english font, It was hes assistant Watari.

The other side of the phone remained silent for a while, until a voice appeared.

''Ryuzaki... I think I found a Case for you.''
