Starlit wanted to be a normal girl. That's why she ran away. She was taken to Wammy's House, where not even the caretaker can know her secret. But Mello is different. Mello is a challenge. Mello actually cares.
I don't own Death Note or Winx Club. If I did I would have money, which I don't *depressed sigh*
. . . . . . .
"Starlit please don't leave!" A woman with silver hair cried out.
"You can't stop me Andromeda! I hate it here." Starlit shouted, staring into her eldest sister's eyes as she slung her backpack over her shoulder.
"Please Starlit! We love you!" Aura, another one of her sisters, plead.
"You don't love me. If you loved me you would respect my wishes and let me leave!" Starlit fumed.
"What about Firla? You are her protectress! What if Screech and Cubia come back!" Luminosa, Andromeda's twin, pointed out.
"Firla is in Magix with Bloom. She'll survive without me. Screech, I'll be waiting for her." Starlit turned her back on her sisters, focusing all of her energy on the place she wanted to go.
The fourteen year old was enveloped in light and disappeared. The three eldest sisters watched the spot where their baby sister had been moments ago. The girls of the Fyre clan were a dime a dozen, since there were nine of them. But something about Starlit was always different, being raised knowing she only existed to protect another fairy. She never liked being a princess either, always denying help.
"Something isn't right about her." Andromeda whispered.
. . . . . . .
Starlit appeared in front of a big building. Exhausted from the amount of energy the trip took, she collapsed on the ground. Note to self- sleep before teleporting. She thought as she stood up and rubbed her temples.
"Where am I anyways?" She thought aloud, looking around.
There was a sign on a fence. Starlit read it, happy it was in English. "Wammy's House. What?" Starlit looked past the fence at the estate that lay beyond it. Children were playing on the lawn, and there were a lot of them.
A boy with read hair spotted her and ran over. His friends shouted at him, but he ignored them. "Hi." He greeted, leaning against the fence.
"Hi." Starlit responded, brushing gold hair out of her face. This guy's pretty cute!
"I'm Matt. What's your name?"
"Starlit."
"Is that a fake name or your real name? Cause Matt is my fake name." Matt smiled.
"Starlit is my real name, but you can say it is a fake name because people laugh at me when they hear my name." Starlit joked.
"What are you doing walking around alone? Where are your parents?" Wow this kid is nosy.
In another dimension. "Dead."
"Well C'mere then." Matt pushed against the gate, slowly easing it open.
"What are you doing?"
"This is an orphanage. You are an orphan, and I can tell you are smart. Now in." Matt grabbed Starlit's hand and pulled her in.
"Matt, who's that?" A blonde girl asked.
"Mello, this is Starlit. I'm gonna take her to see Roger." Matt introduced.
"Hey Starlit." Mello winked at her.
"Eww Lesbian." Starlit hid behind Matt.
"I'm not a girl!" Mello shouted.
"Sorry. It's just… your hair." Starlit giggled and absent mindedly twirled a strand of her own hair around her finger.
"Oh great. If she's just like Near, you die." Mello poked Matt's chest.
"Hey! Don't poke his chest!" Starlit seriously considered using her powers on this boy. He couldn't take her alone.
She decided against it. "Listen, Starlit, you're probably like the rest of the freaks here- super smart or talented in one thing or another. I'm the second smartest guy here. Don't screw with me." Mello threatened, grabbing the front of Starlit's tank top.
"You have no idea." Starlit mumbled.
"Mello! What are you doing?" A loud male voice shouted.
"Nothing Roger." Mello let go of Starlit's shirt.
"Roger, this is Starlit. I found her outside and she's really smart and tough, she even stood up to Mello!" Matt said with the energy of a six year old.
"Found me?" Starlit raised an eyebrow at Matt before looking at Roger. "I'm Starlit, like Matt said." She bowed a little bit, wondering if they did that on Earth anymore.
"She's an orphan too! She told me so. Can she stay here Roger? PLEASE?" Matt continued.
Starlit blushed at Matt's efforts. "Matt, you don't have too. I can find somewhere else to stay."
"She can stay. At the end of the week we'll review her performance." Roger turned around and headed back inside.
Starlit watched him leave before looking at Matt. He and Mello were staring past her at something. Infact, all of the kids had stopped playing to watch. Starlit turned around to see what they were looking at.
A man with a serious case of bed head stepped out of a car. He had on a baggy long sleeve shirt and baggy jeans as well. "Who's that guy?" Starlit whispered.
"L." Matt responded. "What kind of name is that?" "A name like Starlit." "Right."
All of the kids were suddenly talking all at once, and they all were talking to L. Mello was pushing his way through to get to him first.
"Must be really popular." Starlit guessed.
"Yeah. We're here so that one of us can succeed him when we're older." Matt explained.
Great. Even when I'm not on Blue Star I exist because of somebody else. Starlit thought angrily, clenching and unclenching her fists. L looked at the kids, his eyes momentarily resting on Starlit.
"Lets all go inside. I would like to see the top three, and you." He pointed at Starlit, who wanted nothing more than to fly away. Or dissolve.
Matt looked at Starlit before grabbing her by the elbow and pulling her forward. "Matt, you don't have to drag me around everywhere!" Starlit pointed out.
"But if I don't drag you everywhere then I may loose you." Matt joked as they stopped next to Mello and a boy who wore pajamas.
The L guy looked at Starlit curiously, biting his thumbnail. "I do not believe we have been acquainted."
"I'm Starlit."
"What an interesting alias. Wherever did you come up with it?" L asked.
"Its not an alias." Starlit crossed her arms.
"Well you should think of one. It is rather dangerous to go around telling strangers your name."
"But the best alias is your real name, especially one like mine." Starlit pointed out.
"True, true. How long have you been here, Starlit?"
"A few minutes."
"I found her outside and she seemed really smart so I brought her in and Roger said she could stay, but if she didn't improve in a week she had to leave." Matt explained quickly.
Starlit mumbled something about how Matt made her sound like a lost puppy or something. "Well, it was very nice to meet you L. I probably should go figure out how to work my way around this place, though." Starlit suggested, heading off before any of the boys could respond.
She walked around the side of the building until she was sure nobody could see her. She changed into her Enchantix- short gold ruffled dress, white gloves, gold strappy sandals that reach up to her knees. Her wings were gold and similar to those of a butterfly.
Starlit sat down on the ground. She focused all of her energy on establishing a firm connection between her and Firla's minds- one advantage of being her protectress was that they could hear each other's thoughts.
Firla, can you hear me? Starlit thought loudly, hoping she could hear.
Yes. Your voice happens to be very loud! Firla's voice echoed through Starlit's head.
Well, I'm on Earth at some smart kid orphanage.
How'd you establish this connection? You know how much power it takes when you are away from home!
Eh, I kinda am in my Enchantix. Starlit confessed.
You got your Enchantix? Before me? How? Firla asked.
I spared Screech's life. Since Screech is from my planet, I got it. I sorta wish I didn't. And, I miss Flit. I sadly reminded myself of the pixie I left at home.
Well, I'll chat with you later. Stella and Musa are taking me clubbing tonight! Bye Star-Star. Firla dropped the connection.
Starlit changed back to normal and stood up, dusting off her pants. She knew that she would have to be extremely careful when in her fairy form. The humans on earth could not be trusted; but in a school full of geniuses someone would figure it out eventually.
