Okay, this is my first Death Note fanfic, written about six months ago. I've always wondered how L's life was like before he becames involved in the Kira case. This is my own version of the story, set about five years before the Kira case and two years before the Los Angeles B.B. Murders. Enjoy.
Default Chapter
The darkness was suffocating. Every glimmer, every flicker of light, was swallowed whole and devoured by the cold nothingness. Nothing stirred, nothing breathed. Life had been snuffed out like a burning cigarette in a snowstorm.
Suddenly, a light pierced the dark, jackknifing through the curtains of black. A door, riddled with bullets and nearly hacked off its hinges, was illuminated for an instant. The next second, it was gone.
Rustling. The gentle puff of a breath. A muffled thump disturbed the silence as something heavy hit the floor. Then a slow shuffling, footsteps whispering against the cold concrete. They were heading for the door.
A fly swooped through the hole in the ceiling, its buzz almost deafening in the silence. Humming, it flew to investigate the strange new being crouched along the floor.
A long, slender hand shot out and trapped the fly in between two pale fingers. They held it up to an ear, listening to its anguished cries. A quick pinch later, and the fly was silenced. The grin that followed was terrifying.
The door creaked gently on rusty hinges as it was pushed open. Roaches scurried in every direction as a bare white foot descended in their midst, squashing one of their brethren in the process. It was scraped off without as much as a grimace. The person stopped. Waiting.
Boom! The room lit up like a football field, hundreds upon hundreds of bulbs flashing to life in a split second. White light exploded from power grids in the ceiling, sending a shower of sparks raining down on the figure below.
She lowered the arm that was flung up to protect her bright green eyes. They flickered once, and then the grin was back.
"Hello again, L."
