I started writing this chapter like 5 minutes after the prologue and chapter 1 were published.
The next morning Light heard his alarm go off and was down early for breakfast. His mother greeted him with a "you're up early" and then turned back to the stove. Light stared out the window for a moment, and then turned back to the table. "Did you hear about the murders last night" Light was snapped back to reality. "Yeah, weird huh? Completely drained." It was at that point that Light's younger sister; Sayu came thumping down the stairs and into the kitchen. "What's for breakfast Mom?" she asked in a chirpy voice. "Same as always dear," she said in a voice full of love. "Oh. Okay!" With that, Sayu grabbed her plate, and then sat down with another thump. A few minutes later, a quiet voice cut through the sounds of chewing and forks scraping against plates. "What's for breakfast?" Slowly, Light's twin, Scarlet, walked into the room, wearing a black top covered in lace and black skinny jeans with a spiky belt. Her eyes were surrounded by dark eyeliner, shadow and mascara. Her face was pasty white, and her lips a blood red. Her black and red streaked short hair hung like dark curtains around her face. "Eggs honey." Her mother looked at her eldest daughter and sighed. Why did she have to be Goth? Shayla just couldn't figure it out. Finally, Scarlet sat down with hardly a sound. She ate quickly, and then she and Light rose at exactly the same time to leave for the washroom. One glance, one nod was all it took; as soon as the two were outside the door the both began to sprint for the bathroom. Light got there first, as usual. With a triumphant laugh, he shut the door in his sister's face. Scarlet stood outside, and after about five minutes, she wacked the door, told Light to hurry up, and left to pack her bag for school. As soon as she was finished, she returned to the bathroom to find the door still locked. "Jeez Light! What's taking you so long!" she said in an impatient and exasperated tone "Hurry up!" "Coming little sis," was Light's slightly muffled reply. Scarlet stood there and fumed. She HATED being called "little sis". She and Light were TWINS! Just because he was born ten seconds before her, he thought that gave him the right to call her "little sis". Finally, Light emerged, hair pristine, teeth gleaming. "Took ya long enough" was Scarlet's rough reply. "Anything to oblige little sis" Light answered, laughing as she slammed the door in his face. Light raced to his room, packed his bags, and ran to the door. H slipped on his shoes, shaking his head at Scarlet's Black studded boots laced with chains, said goodbye to his mother, and raced out the door. Again, he jumped onto his bike and raced away. Twenty minutes later, he reached his school. He chained up his bike, and then went to a nearby picnic table to study. He became so engrossed in his work the he didn't even notice when Bryan tapped him on the shoulder. "Light?" "Huh?" Quickly, Light came to. "I said, did you hear about those murders last night?" "Oh. Yeah, yeah I did. Creepy huh?" "Yeah. It scares me a lot." Said Meggy, David's latest love interest. With that comment, she snuggled closer to David's chest. "Don't be scared Meg. I'll protect you if that killer ever comes around." 'Gee, thanks David. You're my hero!" She looked up at him with admiration in her eyes. Light chuckled and shook his head. "So whatchya doing Light?" Bryan looked at his papers spread around the table. "Just studying for the Chem test." "Oh yeah, that's Friday isn't it?" Bryan smacked his forehead with his palm "I completely forgot about it! I'd better study with you." "K Bryan. Try to remember next time, okay?" "Will do, thanks man. You're a lifesaver." Bryan plopped down next to him and started to examine his notes. School passed slowly, with nothing out of the ordinary happening. Finally, Light got home, then took out the ring and stared at it. He polished the stones, and then the whole stone. He slipped it on all his fingers until he found one that it fit just right. He swore to himself "If I don't see any notices by the end of the week, I'll keep the ring for my own." Finally, his mother called him to dinner. His two sisters were already seated. He slipped into his chair after grabbing his food, which was ramen and sushi. About five seconds later, his father came in. He took off his shoes, set down his bag and sunk into his chair with a sigh. "What's wrong dad?" "Nothing, Light. I'm just tired." "Oh. Okay then." Light turned back to his food and started eating. Dinner was finished without chatter. When he was done, Light took his plate, rinsed it off, and left for upstairs. "Where are you going Light?" his mother asked "Upstairs to study" was his reply. "Oh. You certainly are studying a lot. Well, goodbye then." "Bye mom." Light thudded up the stairs. He turned into his room, studied for a while, and then surfed the web. He was just finishing an article about Alexander the Great when he heard a tap on his window. He stopped for a moment, and then heard another tap. He went to the window, opened it and looked out at the yard. What he saw was a sight so terrible that it would haunt his nightmares for the rest of his life……….
