Yay! Chapter 2! Let me know what you think ;)

General POV

-Flashback:

"Are they going to be okay?" Ami cried.

"I- I don't think so." L responded ,with an uncharacteristically terrified voice and wide eyes.

This was the first time her brother was at a loss for words. BOTH of her brothers actually. While she stood there before the scene of her parents' demise she cried - CORRECTION - she BAWLED her eyes out. Her two older brothers however, didn't know what to think. They had just witnessed the death of their parents and couldn't mentally process it. The parents who had loved and cared for them, were gone. Forever.

"So-so what do we do? Leave their bodies?" Asked Beyond, fear clear in his voice, as he held his precious strawberry jam close.

"No." Stated L. "We call the police, tell them what happened and then quietly slip away from the scene. We can't afford to be separated."

"I like the sound of that." Said BB.

"M-Mommy….Daddy….." Ami sobbed as L and Beyond pulled her into a tight hug.

End Flashback.-

Ami woke up with a scream. She had been having this same dream for weeks. It was terrifying. She was covered in a cold sweat and had tears running down her cheeks. She pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her head in her arms. Seconds later her door was being swung open by none other then Mello.

"What the HELL Misaki!" He shouted. "This is the third time this week!"

"Jeez Mels, she needs comfort not shouting." That was Matt.

No sooner had she acknowledged his presence, he was sitting next to her on her bed.

"You can talk to us you know." He said.

"Yeah you may be a pain in the ass, but you're still my friend." Said Mello not looking in her direction.

Ami and Matt stared at Mello as if he were some sort of alien. He quickly noticed his blunder, and made an attempt to correct himself.

"I-I mean my friend's friend." He stuttered.

"Anyway…are you okay?" Matt continued.

"Yeah.." Her voice was raspy from crying in her sleep.

"Wanna go get some breakfast?" Matt asked.

"Sure, I'm in the mood for chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate syrup."

"He-he." Mello laughed. "I've taught you well in the art of chocolate loving."

"Ha-ha very funny." Ami smirked at him. He knew that she was just being a smart-ass.

"If you don't mind…I'd like to get dressed now." Ami stated.

Both boys just stared at her stupidly.

"So…get out. I will meet you down in the cafeteria."

"Oh! Sorry." They replied in unison.

As soon as the boys left, she locked her door and began to get dressed. She pulled on her signature black and white striped shirt; not unlike Matt's, and a brown slightly frilled skirt that reached her mid-thigh. She then pulled her messy raven hair up into a messy bun/ponytail and tied the navy blue ribbon that came off of her mother's dress into her hair. the finishing touches were her knee-high white socks and her black leg-warmers. After she was all dressed, she started downstairs.

Ami was on her way down to breakfast when someone whom she had intended to avoid, forcibly and on purpose, bumped into her.

"Oops. Sorry." Sneered Kyla. She was Ami's number one rival.

"No hard feelings." Ami spat through her teeth.

"Still whoring around with Matt, Mello, and Near?"Kyla asked as annoyingly casual as possible." Rumor tells that you're only hanging around with them so that they can help you stay in the top four. True? False?"

"False." Ami replied bluntly.

"Highly doubt it. Katrina, Alana, get her."

'What!' Ami thought to herself as two taller girls approached her and pushed her up against the wall. They both began punching her as hard as they could in the stomach. They eventually finished after what seemed like an eternity, and dropped her to the ground. They punched her so hard and so numerously that she began coughing up blood. The taste was metallic and oddly, satisfying as she lay on the ground, her stomach aching.

"Hopefully, you've learned your lesson." Said Kyla with a satisfied smirk, as her and her cronies walked down the hallway to breakfast.

She could faintly make out the screams of her attackers as they were being 'taken care of' by an unknown assailant. Their attacker made sure that they were all unconscious; but not dead, as he made his way over to the hurting girl.

"Hey. You ok?" He asked.

Ami's vision was becoming blurry but she knew this attackers voice and just had to match it with a face. One that she knew all too well.

"BB?" She asked into the blur.

"He-he. I warned them not to mess with my little sister." He smiled at her.

"Are they dead?" She asked.

"No. I just roughed them up a little." BB replied.

Ami couldn't help but smile as her brother picked her up in his arms and made their way down to the infirmary.

"BB?"

"Yes?"

"Would you think me weird if I told you that I strangely like the taste of blood?" She asked him.

"No." He grinned down at her. "I would think you were like me. Looks like you've not only inherited some quirky traits from L, but some from me as well. I'm proud."

"He-he." She have a weak laugh. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Nevermind for what. Just thank you."

That was the last thing Ami said before blacking out from blood loss.
