I don't own Deathnote or any of its characters. I did make up Rene. The story may not be a 100% correct, so sorry. I will let you now If I make any huge changes on purpose.
I first met him when I was nine. But before I get ahead of my self let me tell you a little bit about my life before I met him.
I was originally named Samantha Marie Grey, thought I now go by Rene.
My parents were well know Scientists, Richard and Josephine Grey. They were from England, and Went to the United states to do some Research. I was born there. (I guess that means I have dual citizenship... hmmm)
Anyway I lived in the USA until I was seven and my parents died in a car crash. After that I was passed around between their co-workers... then I moved from one orphanage to another because I "caused trouble". (It wasn't my fault I beat up the kid that said I was weird.)
When I was nine a man came and asked some questions about me. After that he asked my to do some tests, like memorizing a long poem and doing some complicated math and stuff like that. I must have passed because he took me away.
I ended up at another orphanage in England, called "The Wammy House for Gifted Children". That was where I met him.
"Here we are. From now on your name is Rene." The man opened the door to the huge building.
"But My name is Samantha, not Rene." I was ushered into the foyer.
"Well you will have to get used to being called Rene." The man walked into an office. "Stay here. I will be right back, then I will show you your room." Then he closed the leaving me alone.
I sat down in a corner. I didn't like this place at all.
"So you are the new kid they keep talking about." I looked up and siting at the top of the stair case was him.
Like I said earlier I was nine. He, on the other hand was thirteen. He had strangely long and shaggy black hair and was very pale. He must have been tired and hungry because he had huge shadows under his eyes and was super skinny.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
""why should I introduce myself to you if I don't know who you are?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I am Samantha, but They keep telling me that I am Rene. Now, will you tell me who you are?" He sighed.
"You shouldn't tell people who you are so easily. And You should also tell people you are Rene not Samantha. Not doing either of these things could get you killed." With that he stood up and walked away.
"Wait! You didn't tell my your name!" I was about to follow him, when the office door opened and the man came out.
"Come on Rene, lets get to your room." I was about to say my name was Samantha but thought about what the boy had said and decided against it.
"There are 24 other children living here. You will take classes here. Oh and by the way, I am Mr. Robertson. I am your adviser." He lead me up a different set of stairs, down a hallway, up more stair, down another hallway and in a room.
"What do you mean 'my adviser'?" I didn't understand a thing he was saying.
"In this orphanage you will be given a letter and ranked with the other kids. You have to try to be the smarts and strongest, and the bravest. If you do that you will become very important. And it is my job to try to make you the best out of the 24."
This made no sense. He just said that there were 24 kids living here besides me. That means with me there were 25. I should be trying to be the best of the 25 not the 24. and why would I want to be the best anyway?
"Well here is your room. I will go get your things." He went to the door, and paused. "why don't you go explore. This is orphanage is on a huge estate. There is tons for you to do. The classes for today are over so you can meet the other kids." I nodded and he left.
I looked around the room. There wasn't much to see. It just looked like a big bedroom. There was a bed, a desk, a dresser, a closet, a bookshelf, a foot locker, a bedside table, and a few other things that you would expect to see in a bedroom. It was too boring for an nine year old so I left.
I walked around, trying to see one of the kids that lived here, preferably that boy from earlier.
I went back to the foyer that we had come in earlier. I went up the other set of stairs. There were a few open doors and I saw some kids doing work at their desks or reading. There was one kid about who looked about five with white hair that was making a building out of toothpicks.
At the end of that hall way was another set of stairs like to other side. I went up there and noticed that in all that hallways there were four doors on each side which meant there were 24 rooms. That left one more room, at least for the kids. I don't know about the adults.
I looked around. There was another set of stairs. that must have gone too the last room. I walked up to it when two boys can out of a room.
"You shouldn't go up there." One of the boys said.
'Why shouldn't I?" I stepped down and walk over to them. The looked about seven. He had brown hair and had some weird goggles one his head. the other had blonde hair.
"That is L's room." he said.
"So?"
"First of all, he will kill you. No joke. second of all, He is weird. I would stay away from him but Mello wants to be the successor so I can't." The guy with the goggles was still talking. The Blonde hadn't said a word.
"And you guys are...? I get that you are Mello," I pointed at the blonde, "but you are?"
"Oh yeah. I am Matt. I already told you that is Mello." He nodded to the blonde. "Don't mind him he is in a bad mood at the moment."
"I am Sa... I mean Rene." I corrected myself. This would take some Getting used to. "And I am going up there no matter what you say." Matt shrugged. Mello just glared. Then they both went into the room they came out of and shut the door
The stair was real dark. I was terrified by the time I got up there. there was a door at the top, and it was wide open. I walked up to it slowly.
There was a tv glow coming out of the room and I heard sounds of gunshots and yells. I peeked in and saw a huge room. I had everything the other rooms had and more. I saw the silhouette of a boy sitting in front of the tv. It looked like he was watching a crime show but It was hard to tell.
I tiptoed in and hide behind the bed. I could see the boy clearly enough to tell that it was the boy from the stairs. He was completely engrossed in the show he was watching.
Suddenly and Intercom came on. "L it is time to have dinner." L paused his show and answered
"Could you have someone bring it up. I don't want to come down."
"Of course. Oh by the way you haven't seen The new girl Rene have you? Mr. Robertson told her to look around but I don't think she know the schedule yet."
"I saw her earlier but not lately. I will keep an eye out for her if I ever go down stairs. Later Watari." With that the intercom went off.
"Hey. Stop hiding behind my bed and Ask one of the kids down stairs to take you to the dinning room." I jumped, not expecting him to now I was there.
I stood up and walked over to him. He had already hit play again on his show. I sat down next to him and watched.
"How long did you know I was there?" He sighed.
"Since you told Matt that you wouldn't listen to him and were coming up here." so he knew from eavesdropping.
"So your name is L?" He sighed again.
"First off, I ask the questions. And yes my name Is L. Will you go away now. I am trying to pay attention to this." He pushed me away.
"Fine, but I am going to come back later and ask more questions." I stood up.
"What ever. I don't care. Just leave." I walked over to the door, and looked back.
He had a strange way of making me hate him and like him at the same time. It irritated me.
