Wammy's Candy Rose
11/29/2010
Okay Chapter 2 is up. My Oc Candy meets Watari & L for the first time, and her life is changed forever as she leaves her former life behind. I still do not own Death Note, or any of the original characters.
Chapter 2-New Beginnings
From one of the tables in the back of the Accapello Coffee Café, an older gentleman who looked to be in his sixties arose from a table near the back, where he had been waiting, accompanied by a young black haired boy, who looked about thirteen, who had been eating a piece of shortcake and drinking tea.
"Greeting's Ms Ashford, I presume? I am Quillish Whammy, we spoke earlier, about the situation concerning your daughter, and this must be Candace, the lovely little lady I've heard about." Mr Whammy said smiling warmly, and kneeling down to speak to the frightend little girl, who peeked out from behind her mothers skirt, wiping tears from her eyes. "Hello my dear, I am Mr Whammy, I would like to get to know you, so I am going to ask you a few questions, so we can be friends, & you can make a lot of new friends as well. Come sit at the table dear, we'll order you something from the menu & we can talk." Mr Whammy said kindly.
Candy looked hesitantly up at her mother, who said. "It's all right Candy, go with your Grandpa." Quillish looked a little puzzled at this, then smiled and nodded his head at Bianca's pleading look. "Um, Grandpa, Whammy, why have we never met before, and who is that boy at the table? He doesn't look very friendly, and why does he sit that way?" Laughing as he led Candy to the table, and motioning for Bianca to take her leave, Quillish replied. "Well you see child, that boy is Lawliet and he is like a son to me, and he likes to go with me wherever I go, He's really not mean, he's just very shy." Mr Whammy said laughing at Lawliet's indignant expression at Candy's innocent remarks, narrowing his large black eyes and huffing as he continued to eat his cake, drizzling on chocolate sugar and extra sugar.
"You see, Candy, I rescued him when he was 8, he was an orphan and he helps me,, now what would you like to eat?" Mr Whammy helped Candy into a chair across from L. Candy, smiled a little shyly, and said, "Um sorry Lawliet, I didn't mean to be rude, Oh Grandpa Whammy, I want the chocolate cream cherry cake with extra whipped cream, please and a glass of chocolate milk please." That is fine Candy, dear." Mr Whammy, said , placing the order, as L glanced curiously across at the girl, then said in a low voice. "Call me L please, and I sit this way because it helps me think better." "Oh okay, I see, well if it works for you, then that's fine, I guess." Candy said shyly at L's tone as her order arrived at the table. Mr Whammy watched the two of them in silence for a few moments as they ate their cake, then spoke to Candy.
"Candy dear, I am just curious, what are your hobbies, you do in your spare time, and what are your favorite subjects in school?" Mr Whammy asked, glancing over at L, who had his head cocked to the side, listening carefully, a bit of whipped cream on his cheek.
"Well, I don't go to public school, my Mom & Aunties teach me at home, but I really like reading,and writing, and Literature, and I do good in math, and I also like history, and art projects. I like to draw and make dollies, and bake cookies, and cake, and stuff." L perked up a little at the baking part, and glanced curiously at the girl, his fork halfway to his mouth with a bite of cake. Mr Whammy laughed at this, and eplied. "Good, my dear,are there any other things you like aws well?" í do like to explore a lot, and sing and play the piano too, oh and I love to eat sweets, candy, and cake are so yummy, and I like tea too. I do my lessons every day for 4 hours, then do piano lessons with Auntie Monica, then I help out around the house when Mommy gets home. Then later on if I'm good I get tv time, or get to play with my friends." Candy said smiling sweetly, then looking around, noticed her mom was missing.
"Hey Grandpa Whammy, where did my Mommy go?" Candy asked growing a bit nervous as Quillish looked a bit uncomfortable at the question. "Well you see Candace, she has gone to gather your belongings to bring them back here, so you can come to live with us at Whammy's house, which is going to be your new home." Quillish replied gazing sternly at L who suddenly spoke up.
"And Watari's not your real Grandfather you know." L said watching Candy carefully with an unreadable gaze . "You're going to be coming to live at a special orphanage for gifted children."
"Lawliet, that will be enough!" Quillish said, in a stern tone. "No more cake for you for the rest of the day if you cannot be nice!" "Fine," L pouted as Candy looked confused, eyes tearing up again.
Just then Bianca walked through the door of the café, again followed by Monica, and Annabeth, who were carrying two tattered suitcases. "We can only stay a minute kiddo, we have to get back to work, but we just had to come with your mom to say goodbye." Monica said tearfully, as Annabeth, and her both hugged the little girl starting to cry, as they set the suitcases down next to the table, Bianca, walked up to the table, eyes filled with tears, as she lifted Candy into her arms, hugging her tightly.
"Goodbye, my darling. I know you don't understand why this is happening, and I am so sorry to do this, I love you so very much my angel, but I have no choice, this is for your own good, It breaks my heart to do this, but this way I know you will be safe, and be guaranteed a better life." Bianca said, Monica, and Annabeth in tears, huddled around the little girl, hugging her, and apologizing over and over.
"Mommy, please don't leave me, I don't wanna go, I wanna stay with you and still be your little girl." Candy cried, hugging her Mother and crying desperately. "I'm sorry, if I was a bad girl, whatever I did to not make you want me anymore, I won't ever do it again, just please take me home, and don't abandon me, don't leave me Mommy please!" Desperation and pleading in her little girls, eyes was almost more than Bianca could take, her heart was being ripped from her chest as it was, and Mr Whammy & even L were watching sympathetically, as Bianca, and the two women held Candy tightly.
"Candy, baby, you didn't do anything wrong, I am so sorry, I could never explain why I have to do this." Bianca said looking directly into her little girls tearstained face. "Your Mother will always love you, and I will always be with you in both our hearts, I would never leave you if I didn't have to, but the situation at home is too dangerous for you to stay with me anymore." Bianca said tearfully. "That's why you are going to live at Whammy's house where you will have a better life and you can make new friends, and be safe. Be happy, my darling, and listen to Mr Whammy and all the helpers, learn new things, and remember I will always love you. Goodbye my sweet Candace. You will always be my baby girl, Bianca said crying and hugging Candy as she saw her latest client waiting for them at the door. I must go now my darling, be strong, I love you and I will never forget y9u." Bianca said, backing away with Annabeth, and Monica, as Mr Whammy placed a comforting hand on the little girls shoulder, as Candy sobbing softly, threw her arms around him, whimpering softly, and trembling. Mr Whammy hugged the little girl back, and even L walked up, and with his head bowed, gently tapped Candy's shoulder and offered her the strawberry from his cake. Gazing at them both, sobbing sadly, Candy said. "Why, Why does she have to leave, it hurts so much."
"It's going to be all right, Candace, I won't let anything bad happen to you ever, you will be safe at your new home Whammy's house, my little adopted granddaughter, come let's get you a nice coat, and perhaps we shall stop at a confectionary shop, L and I both know and you can have a big parcel of any kind of sweets your heart could desire, then we shall return to Whammy's and get you settled in, would that be alright, my dear?" Mr Whammy said comfortingly hugging Candy, and L looked on quietly with somber black eyes. Candy nodded quietly as Quillish wrapped the little girl in his overcoat, to protect her from the snow, he paid the café shopkeeper her fee, and L grabbed 2 strawberry lollipops, and handing one to Candy, with a small shy smile, they walked together out of the café. Whammy's house would soon have a new resident.
Well what do you think of chapter 2? It is kinda sad in my opinion, but in the next chapter she arrives at Whammy's House. I considered having Candy meet L at Whammy's but thought he would probably accompany Watari to the meeting out of curiosity. Reviews are great, but no flames please. This is my first fanfic in Anime/manga and I know it's completely Oc, but that's the point.
