Ewiituntmay (A): Hello...short chapter, sorry in advance for that now...but I should have warned you already, the chapters in this story will be somewhat short ^^" Um, anyway so far this chapter is dedicated to the following: Daydreams Become Realities, happy-smiling-cookie (XDD) and deathnoteaddict. And so far, it's been mostly LxOC, no love for Beyond T^T, anyway, I somewhat agree, the original is better c: Okay, enough rambling, I'm really updating this story as a means to procrastinate from AHwaSO ^^" So I gotta go finish that chapter XC, Please enjoy the chapter!
Recap: He moved his thumb from his mouth to reply, "L." I blinked and nodded once. I wasn't even mad or disappointed that I now had another person to protect, but I knew without a doubt that I would be protecting this boy, L, as well.
~Chapter 2~
I sighed and nodded once at both L and the woman then went over to the door, I knocked once and when the door opened I looked up at the man who'd opened it, he scowled down at me, I only blinked up at him, I pointed to the right, the opposite of the direction I usually pointed in. After another second or two of scowling at me the man turned and headed down to the right hall, grumbling around about whatever. I sighed and leaned against the wall as I waited for the man to return with my request. I guess my 'privileges' can be useful after all.
Another minute later the door opened again and a head full of light brown hair poked in, "You need something?" he came in all smiles and stood in front of me, waiting for me to speak. It was a young man, he stood quietly, I blinked, a slight frown on my face, "Come on…I can't get you anything if you don't tell me what you need…and it shouldn't be too hard, considering there isn't much that I can get for you."
I took a deep breath and motioned at the door, he glanced back, then around at everyone else, his smile diminished slightly, "You know…tomorrow's the last day…you might as well tell me now." I blinked, then shook my head. With a heavy sigh the guy replied, "Okay, fine whatever. But you know…you should take care of yourself once in a while too…not just everyone else."
The guy knocked on the door and motioned for me to go out ahead of him. I went out wordlessly, and leaned against the wall opposite the door while he waited again.
~Inside the room~
"What do you think's going on? She usually just asks for stuff when she's in here…"
"Why the hell does she get to go out and get stuff like she isn't a prisoner anyway?!" the older boy began getting angry, but another girl stepped up and slapped a hand against his forehead stopping him from continuing.
"Don't you know? Something's special about her, she's been here since before any of us after all…and she'll probably be here longer then us…in fact…I heard something that you all may want to hear…or rather something you need to hear whether you want to or not!" This earned everyone's attention, but no one was sure whether the news would be happy, or if like usual they should cower or fear the news. She took a deep breath, glanced around at everyone then began the simple but feared statement, "No one stays here longer than three months…except the girl. No one from before has ever been seen again."
This was met with various responses of surprise and shock, except for the girl who said it, who was grim, L who blinked indifferently, and the boy she had saved, who shook his head, determined to believe that nothing would happen to him, because the girl had protected him once already. L shifted slightly, this caused everyone to turn to him, considering the girl had taken an interest in him almost immediately, so too did everyone else.
L blinked around at them, I hope Watari comes to get me soon…this wasn't something I had anticipated. A few seconds later the door opened and the girl walked back in.
~The girl~
"Food and a first aid kit…for the new prisoner…" This caused the same reaction as I had imagined, his eyebrows shot up, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. For one I had never requested a first aid kit and if I requested food, it was always for everybody, not just one. The second thing that was probably surprising to him was the fact that I had requested to leave the room to request them instead of just asking straight out, like I usually did.
"For that new kid? You want me to get those things for that kid?" I nodded with a roll of my eyes, "What about you? I should be getting these things for you…not some little brat that was just brought in!" I took a deep breath then stepped closer to him, so that the two guys watching the door wouldn't be able to hear me.
"I don't want those things…this time there is an even greater reason that I don't want them for myself, Kayle, I wanted a knife." his eyes widened again, and this time with even more purpose, I never said his name out loud unless I really, really wanted something or really meant what I said.
"A…knife?! What for?!" I rolled my eyes at him again.
"What do you think Kayle?" I did a motion with my hand cutting my neck, this caused Kayle to frown, "I said I wanted, Kayle, wanted a knife…but for now, some food and a first aid kit will do. Please. Thank you." With that said I walked calmly around Kayle and the guys opened the door for me, I walked in and sat where'd I'd been sitting before L had been brought in. Everyone eyed me intensely, I ignored them all, until the boy came over to sit next to me, I glanced over at him, he smiled up at me. I nodded once to him then returned to staring at the ground as I usually did.
Finally after a short wait the door opened again and Kayle went right over to L, with continuous glances at me, I only glanced up and nodded once at him, then went back to my staring, until Kayle finished and came over to me. I saw his feet, then looked up at him, he blushed, his head turned to the side as he set down a plate in front of me too. I glanced down at it, it was a piece of cake, chocolate by the looks of it. I looked back up at Kayle, he blushed a little harder before explaining, "This was my cake…I want you to have it, and it's not poisoned…but we're bringing food for everyone else."
He stood, a smile on his face and the blush now gone, I frowned down at the cake, "Oh…right, it's tomorrow." Kayle's smile disappeared for a second, replaced by a slight frown, he nodded and turned away, then cheered up again.
"Yes…but you do have two new friends! Isn't that great?" I glanced up at him again, a frown on my face. He recoiled a step before he understood why it wasn't, I can't have friends…friends can be used against me…having friends here in this place is not a good thing…ever.
"No…it isn't." I turned away, so that my side was against the wall. The boy glanced at me worriedly, no one in the room got cake, not even me most of the time barely even I got food, much less the rest of them, the only time someone got cake was when they were going to die…by poisoning usually…or they were taken away later. I figured the boy probably thought I was going to die and by the surprised looks on the others faces, they too thought this. I shook my head, if Kayle said it wasn't poisoned then it wouldn't be poisoned, if anything it had been his cake for the meal and he'd saved it to give it to me.
"Well… I gotta get going…but the food should be here very soon." Kayle smiled again, If anything, I'm glad Kay isn't as effected by this place as everyone else. I closed my eyes as Kay went out the door, I sighed and leaned my head to the side, resting it against the wall, the boy gently touched my should, it was feather light and yet it felt like a hundred tiny needles and a lot of extra weight, this caused me to recoil slightly, I even inhaled sharply, Damnit! That man hurt me much more than I thought… I frowned at myself, then opened my eyes and looked at the boy, he looked up at me worriedly. I don't see why I refer to him as a boy…he seems about the same age…maybe even a little older than me…?
"Are you okay savior?" he stared at me in concern, I blinked then nodded slightly, now starting to feel the wounds littering my body.
