The alleyway was dark and damp. When it was silent you could hear the faint drops of water hitting the ground simultaneously. The smell of wet dog covered the area. A drizzle of rain had replaced the heavier outburst. This faint drizzle resembling mist, each drop echoing throughout the silent street. The full moon was visible through the puddles of water on the floor. A shape flashed past the reflecting full moon, almost too fast for the human eye to see. The rain grew heavier once again, all other sounds being drowned out. A faint pitter patter became the only other visible noise. Growing louder, louder... this pitter patter could now distinctively be footsteps. Two individual sets of footsteps. One being followed by another at a fast pace. Becoming more visible was three shapes. Two humans running, the tailing person possibly chasing the other. The third shape was hovering. Slightly too large for a human, with wings swaying behind. There was only one person who knew the strange figure's name, the person being chased. The reflection of the moon in the puddle was shattered as the human placed their foot in the puddle. The first human was a teenage girl. She had long, silver hair tied back in two pigtails. The top of her hair covered by a black beanie. Her startling green eyes were almost hidden within the darkness. She was wearing a leather jacket, a deep red top, jeans and long boots. The man was covered in black clothing. He could have been any age between thirty and fifty. The girl took a sharp corner and kept running. She smiled deviously.
"Do you think we've had enough fun?" The girl asked the mysterious figure hovering over her, who laughed in a crackly, deep voice.
"Put the guy out of his misery!" The figure stated, whilst still laughing. The girl reached in the the side of her leather jacket, and pulled out a white book. While still running, she grabbed out a pen and wrote something down. Smirking, she checked her iPod for the time, stopped running and turned around. The man in all black was continued running towards her. He was getting closer, and closer, until he was barely five meters away.
"3, 2, 1..." The girl said monotonously. The man stopped deadbeat. He made a gurgling sound before falling to the ground, gasping for air. He was barely three meters away from the girl, but she didn't look scared. The girl showed no emotion towards the dying man, neither did the strange hovering figure.
"You said you would give me an apple if we did this." The figure said in a raspy voice. The girl started walking down the rest of the alleyway. The hovering figure followed.
"All in good time..."
Author's Note: Scary enough? This is a prologue to my new story. I always thought that with L and Light's mind games they could pull off many more charades. So I decided to create my own version, complete with a fake love (continue reading). So hope you liked the prologue, I look forward to writing this New Beginning to Death Note...
