Waking up to the rain beating against the galss was probably the only way that I liked to be woken up. Hearing yelling coming from down the hallway, I made my way down it and opened the door.
Opening the door to the Interpol yelling was not what I was expecting, but seeing L fall out of his chair and landing on his back was the last thing I thought I would see.
Running over and sliding on my knees to come to a stop beside L, I held him in my arms as he spoke his last words "Help them win this game" Was the last thing he said.
Laying him down gently on the floor, I walked to my room, packed my bag and was heading for England.
This is the story on how L fell from grace.
Hi my name is Layla and this is my story...for now.
My name is Layla, I'm 12 years of age, 4 foot 10 inch. tall and have platinum blonde hair with silvery blue eyes.
I live in an orphanage, least to say it is nothing more than a roof over my head. We get fed twice a day and is forced to clean the whole orphanage 4 times a week.
The care taker is a full-figured (fat) women who like to be in control. Me, living with eight other children, There ages range from 4 to 12, I take care of the 4-year-old.
She knew when to speak and when to be quiet as not to get in trouble. It's beyond me as to why this place hasn't been shut down already. It's old and smells like mold.
Do you ever have one of those days when you wake up and hate the world you live in? Well, I do and today is one of those days. I was being shook awake by someone.
Me, finally opening my eyes, see that It was Matrone, the little girl I look after. "Layla the orphanage is on fire" She said to me. I got up, put my shoes on and ran to the door.
Me not thinking, from just waking up, opened the door and created a draft, bringing the fire even more to life then it already was.
I throw my arms in front of me, to keep the flames from kissing my face. Kicking the door shut with my foot, stumbling backwards.
I turned to the children and asked "Where is everyone else?" They all 4 ran to the window and pointed out it. I walked over to the window and looked down.
Seeing the rest of the children and the Care taker herself looking up at me with a smile. I reached over to my bed and grabbed my pillow.
Placing it at the bottom of the window, I kicked until the glass broke. sliding the pillow up the other sides to remove the rest of the glass.
Looking at the first child I said 'you first'. Reaching down to pick him up and placing him out the window. I did this with the other 3 children.
After they were all out, I crawled out the window. Now looking out into the yard, more people showed up to watch the scene un-fold in front of them.
"HELP ME!" I yeled at them. A few men and a women ran forward to help. I Turned to the children and said "I'm going to lower you down to the people below to cath you"
3 of them nodded and the last 1 just looked at me. "Aiden, you first" The boy stepped in front of me and I lowered him down "GOT HIM!" A man yell up at me.
Now for the last three girls. "Sasha, you next" She walked up to me, holding on to her pink bunny for dear life "It'll be ok" I told her as I lowered her down.
I waved for hanah and she came to me. I toward her down and let her go, the man who was to catch her was a little short, but I'm glad he help none the less.
"Matrone, come on" 'BOOM' The door that led into the room busted open and flames were crawling inside. Matrone was pushed forward cause of the bast.
I leapt towards her and caught her before she could fall off the roof. The bottom half of her was hanging off, while I held on to her hands to keep her upper half on the roof.
"LET GO, I GOT HER!" I released her into the waiting arms of the woman below. I stood up seeing the men that caught the children run up to me "Come on you're the last on"
The short man side. Getting ready to sit on the roof to lower myself down, fell threw the roof. It was burning in here like the fires of a thousand suns. What was I to do now?
It was really difficult to breathe. Flames were hugging every wall as to become one with them. Making my way as best as I could to the Care takers room.
Grabbed the blanket off her bed and wrapped it around me, making sure to cover my face. It was easier to breathe, now to find a way out of here.
I could hear screaming coming from outside, mostly from the children. I walked in the directions of the stairs and saw that the fire was already eating it.
Making my way to the other end of the house and fining a window. Looking out it, now coming to realise I was looking at the back yard.
No one was out here, they were all up front. Rolling the end of the blanket into my right hand, punched the window over and over again till it broke.
It finally broke after the glass has shredded the blanket that was supposed to save my hand from being sliced up, it did, but just barely.
There was nothing to land on out the window. So, I did the next thing I could think of, I took the blanket off and laid it on the window seal.
Crawling out the window and lowering my self to where my arms were fully extended, I counted to three and let go.
Falling wasn't that bad, it was the sudden stop that I was afraid of. Landing on my feet and rolling down the little hill. I finally stopped rolling when I rolled into the streets.
Cars swerved and beeped their horns at me. Standing up, I made my way to the side-walk and laid down on it. I could still hear the screams and cry's of the children.
"Miss, are you alright?" Opening my eyes, I see and older gentlemen, looking at me with concern in his eyes. "No sir, I do believe I might have broken something, jumping out of a window"
He looked shocked as I told him this "Child, why would you jump out of a window?" I stood up, but just barely
"I jumped out of the window sir, because I did not want to be burned by a fire" I pointed in the direction of the orphanage that was now consumed by the fire.
He looked to where I was pointing to and back at me "I will take you back there, The owner will be glad to know that you are safe" I shook my head at him
"No sir, you see, the owner was the one who set the fire. From what I have gathered, she wanted the insurance, for money to live off of till the end of her life"
The old man looked at me with something that I could not place "Well then Miss, would you like to live with me at me orphanage?" What he said shocked me.
But I was felling happy that this man would take me in like this "Yes please, that would be wonderful" He smiled down at me and led me to a car that was park by the curb.
"By the way Miss, my name is Wammy, but you can call me Watari" He opened the door as he said this, "Nice to make you're acquaintance, my name is Layla" I replied to him.
Stepping inside the car I saw a boy around the same age as I, "Miss Layla, this is L, he is one of the children that lives at the orphanage" Mister Watari said.
Mister Watari started the car and drove off, I slid over to be closer to the window and saw the scene off the children crying and firemen trying to put out the fire.
After we passed the burning orphanage, I slid back over in the center of the seat and introduced myself to L "Hello L, my name is Layla, it is a pleasure to meet you"
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
