A/N: Well, this is my second story, even though I haven't finished the first, but I just could help myself. I wanted to start this one so badly. I'll write both at the same time. Hope you'll enjoy this idea of mine :)

I do not own any characters from Death note.

Chapter 1. She's blind

They didn't look at her eyes before putting the blindfold on. And why would they? They were in a rush, so they didn't have time for such things. And Caitlyn didn't argue. She wasn't stupid and knew that pointing out something to her kidnappers wouldn't end well. So she just laid in the luggage compartment and quietly listened to the men talking. That helped her calm down. Hearing people's voices. When she was alone and didn't hear anything she would start to panic. That's why were ever she goes, someone is accompanying her, not just because she couldn't see, but to keep her calm.

Caitlyn felt when the car stopped and the luggage compartment opened. A man took her out by her tied up arms and legs. The ten-year-old tried to breathe slowly, even though it was hard, not knowing what will happen to you.

She didn't quite listen to the words the men were saying, but more to their actual voices. She did, however, knew why she's bonded up and blindfolded. Her dad obviously got in trouble with the wrong people and now they demanded a ransom for her release. Of course, she knew her parents didn't have that much money, but she still tried to control herself. That worked, until she was thrown in some room. Caitlyn was now alone. And panic started to spread inside her.

And odd place to hold a hostage, he thought. But maybe it was the perfect place. No one would even suspect that here, in this old and abandoned house almost in the middle of the city, could lie the girl everyone was looking for. The house was owned by some old man but it has been years since his last visit but the government couldn't do anything to tear it down. A good place indeed.

While the others were on the other side of the city, trying not to catch the police's attention or the girl pays the ultimate price, this teenager followed the right footsteps and ended up here. He didn't tell anyone else, because there was no time. He had to act now. Otherwise, they will be too late...

The boy took a deep breath. There was no other way. He knew he could get in trouble for acting so dangerously, but he would rather listen to complains, then to a funeral's bells. With that though, he slowly, covered with the shadows of the night, began to approach the house. He had a good idea where the girl could be held. There was a small farm building, but it was so old, no one in their right mind would ever go there. And that's exactly why Caitlyn has to be there.

And he was right.

The boy with raven hair was very cautions and didn't attract anyone's attention. The kidnappers were all in the house, leaving the farm building not guarded. Of course, they thought the girl could never escape on her own. Well, they was right. But she will have help, after all.

The front door will make too much sound he thought. He couldn't risk that. He carefully walked around and found a hole, big enough for him to crawl through. With his heart pounding he did just so.

Inside was very dirty. All sorts of used items for farming were lying around everywhere. Not only that, there were dead mice and rats spread around and an unbelievable layer of dust. And there, near the front door, was someone lying on the floor. The boy began to come closer, trying to make as least sound as possible. With every step his heart pounded stronger. He was hopping he wasn't too late.

He wasn't.

But when he came close enough, he realized that something was wrong. The girl was panicking. It wasn't just because she was kidnapped. No, there was something else to it. He thought that, because she wasn't saying anything, even though he was sure she could hear him coming. No, she wasn't even moving her body, she wasn't trying to escape. She was just madly moving her head in all directions.

''Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm going to get you out of here.'' He said to her quietly and as calmly and soft as he could.

The girl immediately stopped panicking. Her body became loose and she looked like she became calm in just a second.

''Okay.'' She just said. ''Please don't stop talking.'' She asked.

The boy was surprised by such a request but agreed.

''I'm going to untie your arms, okay?'' He informed her softly and bended down. He took out his folding knife and carefully gut the ropes. ''Can you tell me your name?'' He asked, even though he knew it.

''It's Caitlyn. Do the police know?'' She asked. ''I don't want them to know.''

''No, no, they don't know anything.'' He reassured her, now cutting the ropes on her legs. ''I'm going to remove the blindfold now, okay? So you can see.''

''No.'' She said. The boy stopped in his tracks. ''I mean, yes, you can remove it.''

He was confused but slowly took of the black material of her eyes. The moon light was going through the hole in the roof and he could clearly see her eyes.

He realized, that the colour was supposed to be green, but it was very blank. Her eyes were there but they didn't look at anything. She's blind the boy understood. That's why she said "no". The boy immediately felt sorry for her. Why wasn't he informed about this? Now he felt bad for what he said.

''I'm sorry, I didn't know.'' He muttered. The girl just weakly smiled and said ''It's okay. No need to feel sorry.''

They had to get out of there as soon as possible. They didn't know when the kidnappers could return.

The boy led Caitlyn out of there through the same hole he came in. The proceeded to run as quietly as they could to the street and as far as they could. When the boy thought they were safe, they went into an alleyway near a market. They were both covered by shadows and he took out his cellphone and phoned.

''It's me. I have her. I don't know where we are so just track my phone. Hurry.'' He quickly said and hung up. He didn't want to explain now and nor did he want to hear complains about "how dangerous that was". The most important thing is – Caitlyn's safe.

All this time she was gripping his left arm. She wasn't thinking of letting it go. He could understand that. But what he couldn't figure out is why she immediately calmed down after hearing his voice.

''May I ask why did you asked me to keep talking?'' He gently asked.

''I don't know.'' Her expression from still went to confused. ''It keeps me calm, I guess.''

''Alright...'' He said, not knowing what to add. He wasn't good at communicating with others.

But after a few second his phoned beeped.

"We're in the supermarket's parking slot."

He grabbed tightly her arm and walked to wear they said they were waiting. He immediately recognized the gray car and and went straight to it.

The door opened and a man with a moustache came out.

''Do you know how dangerous and reckless that was?!'' He said with concern and anger in his voice.

''If I didn't do anything, by the time you figured out where she was, it would be too late.'' He shot back with a cold voice. ''Can you hold your morals for another time, maybe? Let's focus on the girl instead.''

''Right.'' He agreed and looked at her. His expression changed wildly from angry to concerned and soft. ''Caitlyn, dear, are you alright?''

The girl gripped her saviour's hand tighter.

''Yes.'' She answered and nodded.

''Okay then, I'm detective Sanders...''

''Detective?'' Caitlyn interrupted him and widened her eyes, just to look surprised. ''You said the police wasn't involved!'' He turned her head to the boy.

''Oh, no no! He's a private detective, he's got nothing to do with the police.'' He quickly explained so that she won't get upset.

''Caitlyn, can you explain why you don't want the police to get involved?'' The detective asked carefully.

''Because I heard one man telling that if my parents would contact the police, they will kill me. Not only that, they said they'll make sure to get rid of my little brother too. I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to him.'' Caitlyn said strongly.

''Alright, well let's get you home.'' The man said and opened the back seat door and let Caitlyn and the boy in. ''By the way, I'm not going to say any morals, I'll leave it to Quillsh.'' He looked at the teenager with raven hair, jeans, a plain white shirt and almost completely black eyes.

A/N: Hope you all understood that the boy who saved her was L, just younger. I'd say about fifteen years maybe? Something like that. Oh and the reason why he was involved in the first place is because Caitlyn's parents were friends with Quillsh (aka Watari) and asked for his help. He though this was a good opportunity for L to start his detective career and help with this.

The reason why Caitlyn panics when she can't hear anyone's voice is because by them she orientates. Also, she has a condition and has a fear of being left alone.
