Leave a Trail
Prologue - Reasons
January 5th, 1999
A young red haired girl stared out of her window. She saw her father outside, who was yelling. He was yelling at another man, he wore a black hat and a suit. He stood straight, wore glasses and had a white moustache. He looked like a nice man, the young one didn't understand why her delightful father was yelling at him.
The young girl looked around her room. There was a bed with no covers, her older sisters. Her sister had been gone for a month. The young girl had no idea where she was. The girl was just three years old, and had a mind of a six year old. She was very smart for her age.
Her name was Carlyn. She was named by her father..."Carlyn" was her mothers last word. Her father had mental disabilities, but they got on well. Carlyn's father loved her so much. He was like a five year old girl, and Carlyn was his doll. He loved to hug her, and considered her his best friend.
Carlyn got off of her bed, and walked to her book case. She grabbed a box, and opened it. Inside of it was a few lollipops. She took a cherry one and put it into her mouth.
She walked down the stairs of her house. It was a normal, pretty house. It was in the suburbs, and when she was looking outside she could see her neighbours were concerned.
Carlyn reached up and opened her front door.
"Daddy." She spoke. She was ignored. "Daddy." She said louder. Her father and the man turned their heads to her. "Why are you yelling?" she asked.
"Honey..." Her father whimpered, turning back to the man. "You can't take her. Don't you dare." He sounded angry, but there was a deep sadness in his voice.
"I am sorry, but you are unfit to take care of her. You cannot get a job, and soon you will not be able to keep your house or feed her." The man told Carlyn's father.
Carlyn knew what was going on now. She was going to be taken to an orphanage. She wouldn't see her father again. "Sir..." Hide walked towards her father and the man. "I do not want to be taken away. I love my daddy." A tear slid down her cheek.
"I'm sorry young lady. It's all for the best. If you would, could you please get into the back of the car? I'll be taking you to a nice orphanage." The man smiled half heartedly. "My name is Watari, and I'll be helping you in the orphanage. You're becoming L's successor."
"L...as in the detective?" Hide put the tip of her index finger to her lips. She was wearing a light blue shirt, with black leggings. She had her shoes on, black and white sneakers. She was small, and went up to Watari's knee. Carlyn shook it off. "I don't want to leave my daddy." Carlyn grabbed onto her father's leg.
Her father sighed, and picked her up. He put her in the backseat of the car. "Carlyn, I love you. I always will, and as soon as you turn eighteen, I will track you down...
"Promise you'll leave a Trail..."
