Chapter one:
'Long ago there was a small cluster of towns living peacefully with one another as well as the nature as they remained mostly isolated from the rest of the world.
Those that managed to visit there said that they saw wild animals walking around and doing stuff with people like helping them with work or playing with the children.
These small towns were ruled over by a single royal family that live in the castle in the town in the center of the cluster as the other towns make a circle around it; each town is only separated by only a small wall of forest.
The royal family cared very much about their subjects and often visited the towns happily. They were known for their white hair and special blood that is said to heal anything. They donate blood to the hospital of each town to help in saving the people when they needed it the most….. But their blood could only heal if it came from a living royal family member so they gave blood in person when it was highly needed if they could make it though no blamed them if they couldn't make it to help someone.
The towns could not have been any more peaceful and happy.
However an evil man who happens to be the leader of a dark evil group was dying.
He demanded his people who had been cast aside from the world for their wickedness were to help him get the blood of a living royal family member. He wanted to be in the front lines before they could set out for world domination.
The people who followed him went to the towns and attacked trying to destroy as much as possible while trying to kidnap the royal family.
In the end the evil ruler who was helped to get there had to drain the life of the towns people so he may live longer hopefully enough so he may take the blood of a royal family member.
Though this did not happen as the towns were destroyed and no known survivors from the towns were found.
The bodies of the two royal family members, the queen and king, were found but because their blood was coming from their dead bodies after the destruction and fire that destroyed the towns… It turned poisonous and the evil ruler had lost his healing blood he had sought out.
He is said to still wander to this day living on the edge of death, hoping that somewhere out there at least one person with blood ties to the royal family is still out there somewhere even though he saw the queen and kings bodies himself.
When the fire was noticed emergency responders went there and those on the brink of death from the towns managed to tell the story before dying themselves. And that is the history of the burned ruins of the cluster of towns.'
The documentary comes to an end and a teacher at Whammy's house flicks on the lights.
"Ok everyone is to hand in their sheets that they should have been taking notes on during this documentary." She picks up the hand in tray and the kids rush to write something in the blanks they missed before they run to hand it in.
The bell rings and the teacher only dismisses whoever handed in their sheets.
Mello heads to get a chocolate bar, Matt heads to his room to play some games and Near decides to wander outside for a little bit.
Really no one else except for very few of the orphans go straight outside after class so it's a more peaceful time to be out there.
He wanders around a little just thinking and he stops to glance to the forest at the back of the field behind the orphanage. He looks away with a small shiver only to head back inside going to his room. He sits on his bed with a small sigh.
Meanwhile….
Mello paces in Matt's room with a chocolate bar in hand.
Matt calmly plays video games as Mello rants.
"Damn it! That little albino freak knows everything!" Mello rants in anger. "He figures he can do whatever the hell he wants because he is so smart he thinks he isn't worthy of hanging around anyone else other than A and BB who are dead now!"
A and BB even came to Whammy's with Near and they were the only two who surpassed Nears intelligence but the three were extremely close like family. They came to Whammy's one day but no one knows any back story, or at least none of the orphans do as it is most likely Roger, Watari and L who may know more. A died of a mysterious attack that was pushed aside as suicide which is probably what triggered BBs murderous rampage, not that the three didn't cause some trouble at the orphanage, to make the Los Angeles BB murder case. BB escaped five prisons before dying mysteriously in an insane asylum which was never solved but looked at as possible suicide to be with A who he always talked about.
When the two died Near cast aside his emotions and didn't make any friends whatsoever after that becoming the Near that everyone knows today even taking up playing with toys and puzzles. It is thought that it was Near's way of coping and maybe trying to keep memories of his time with the other two alive to him.
In class Near filled out the sheet of questions before the documentary which were the correct information given in the documentary, Mello peeked at Near's paper-since they have to sit beside each other, every time an answer came up in the documentary.
Mello vents his anger a bit longer as he curses Near in as many different languages as he could before stop ranting as well as pacing to stand there panting.
"Feel better?" Matt asks in monotone already knowing the answer as this is pretty much a daily routine.
Mello sighs and flops onto Matt's bed. "A little." He sighs and starts eating his chocolate bar.
The room is silent for a little bit then Mello gets an idea.
He sits up finishing chewing the part of the chocolate bar in his mouth swallowing before turning to Matt. "Hey Matt. Pull up Near's file from Rodgers computer."
