The rain poured down in waves, creating huge puddles for children to play in at a later date. The wind roared, and lashed out at the trees. Kiddie toys rolled across the property like tumbleweeds, the noise drowned out by the rolling thunder.
A car pulled up in the distance, its headlights hardly visible in the torrential rain. The door opened, slamming shut a moment later. The vehicle wheeled away, splashing up mud. Lightning flashed, revealing the silhouette of a person. The person who had just exited the vehicle.
They sloshed through the puddles, waking their way to the gate. On one of the large, stone pillars that stood one each side of the gate hung a sign. On it, etched into the brass were the words "The Wammy's House." The person felt around on the pillar, looking for something. When they found it, they pressed it. It was a small, white button below a small speaker. An intercom.
"Who is it?" The robotic voice asked from the other end.
"Siete," They responded, impatiently shifting their feet. The gate slid open, allowing the person to enter. A large building loomed in the distance, visible in the storm only to those who knew where to look. Siete ran from the gate, sneakered feet splashing in the puddles, skinny legs clothed in jeans sopping wet from the knees down, yellow slicker flying behind.
After a minute or so of running, bogged down by a suitcase and a backpack, Siete reached the front door. They knocked, and it was opened. They were expected.
A/N: This is the prologue for my new series Siete. Yes, I know that the title is a tad bit odd, however, I couldn't think of anything better to call it. I've been working on it for a while, and I've just been reffering to it as my "Siete Story" and the name just stuck. I would give a summary for it, but, I suppose that would give away too much of my plot, and I don't feel like doing that. I will, however, tell you some little things which may be helpful.
This takes place approximately two years before the Kira case, and three before L dies. I don't worry about spoiling that for you, because if you know what Wammy's is, you're assumingly far enough into the series that you know already. Siete and Mello (Mero here) are 13. Matt is 12. Near (Nia here) is eleven. L (who is assumingly 25 when he dies) is 20 here. I've changed his birthdate for my fic. Instead of being 1979, his birthday will be 1981. Yes, it makes a difference. I'm working on typing up chapter two at the moment.
