Disclaimer: Don't own Death Note or I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be writing on here. ~

Ms. Connie and I walked through a long hallway. We walked in silence, but the silence was only between us, because children ran about often in the halls, their shoes often squeaking and yelling, playful laughs and such. Along the way I decided to take notice of the halls details. The floors were wood, Hmm Probably expensive wood. The hall walls were white with a lining through the middle that was light pink with a swively pattern on it. I ran my hand along the smooth texture of the wall as I walked. I removed my hand when it came across a door and looked at the door. It was light brown wood, to match the floor. Every so often, right after you pass a door to what, I suppose is a bed room, there is a painting. They vary from landscape paintings to abstract paintings.

As I passed another door it opened rather swiftly. Thank goodness it opened the opposite way from where I was, but it caught me off guard, and startled me. Right after the door flew open a boy stomped out, not paying much attention to his surroundings, and knocked us both down. He was quite tall, black messy hair, a slouch and… red eyes? Strange… Then something stranger happened. Right after him a man who looked to be his twin stalked out, hands in his pocket.

"Beyond.." The still standing male said, "What did I tell you?" He shook his head and pulled the boy, Beyond, up and off of me. "Shoo off to your room now." He said and Beyond stomped off once again, never apologizing. 'Rude' I thought. Then off walked the other male, back to his room again, me still on the floor.

"Oh dear. They're at it again…" Ms. Connie said shaking her head, "Lemme help you up Tess." She held out her hand and I took it, then she pulled me up. She brushed off my legs, even though I wasn't dirty, and I took the chance to ask "Ms. Connie?"

"Yes, dear?"

"What did you mean "They're at it again" ?" I asked, "Who were they? Are they twins?"

"Ha" She giggled slightly "No, no honey they aren't related. It's nothing. Just Wammy business is all."

"Oh Okay." I replied. 'Why won't she tell me? Now I'll never know..'

"Hurry along honey we're almost to Rogers's office."

We walked faster up till we came across a door labeled "ROGERS OFFICE". Ms. Connie Knocked twice then walked in, pulling me along by my hand. We walked into the dim lit room and I saw an elderly man sitting in a chair at a desk. I assumed it was Mr. Roger. "Nurse Connie." Roger said his voice a rough, bored tone.

"Mr. Ruvie." Ms. Connie said blandly.

"What is it that I can do for you… two today?"

"Sir, this is Tess. The she is the young girl that Mello brought in from the yard. The girl that was unconscious." 'Wait.. Mello brought me in? Huh…'

"I see. She is awake and well now yes?"

"Well… She has some injuries that are old. Minor ones! Not to worry. But injuries none the less. She is well rested and I suppose better than before she got here." 'Injuries?… Oh!' My eyes widened in realization for a brief moment.

"Good. Now down to business. Ms. Tess…"

"Tess Connors" I cut in.

"Right." He said."Ms. Conners what is your story? Why did you trespass?"

"W-well. Its kinda a long stor-"Ms. Connie cut me off.

"We're here because we need to find her parents right now. She needs to know if they are OK for whatever reason. So if you will please, look up their records."

"Look up Christen and John Connors. They are my mom and little brother."

"Fine. Fine.." Mr. Roger said. He then slid, in his chair, a little ways over to his computer, sitting on his desk. Rapid typing was then heard and a click of the mouse a few times. Three minutes went by when Mr. Roger leaned back and said "Here they are."

"May we see?" Ms. Connie asked.

"Yes you two may join." Roger said and we walked beside him to read the doctors records. I didn't question how he got those records but I did wonder. So Ms. Connie and I read along the lines of the records of my family.

I stumbled back away from the computer in tears. 'They… THEY DIED?!' I hear Ms. Connie utter I'm sorry dear and Roger mutters oh my. My heart clenches in pain and I scoot back to the corner of the room. I break into sobs and see images of my beautiful mother and adorable brother. 'Why? How? What happened to Harry?! Why did they die… Why does everything good disappear?' "M-ms. Connie?" I whisper.

"Yes dear..?" She whispers back, as she scoots closer to me to comfort me.

"You're a great nurse right?" I said

"Y-yes dear but why?" She stuttered surprised by my question.

"My heart hurts… Can you fix that? *hiccup*" Sparkly drops of sad tears start to flow down her face too and she grabs me in a hug whispering "No dear. No sadly I-I cannot. I cannot…."

~Later~

Ms. Connie took me back to the nurses' office to cry in private, other than her. She comforted me in till I was able to speak again."Honey.. Do you have any other family to go to? Aunt? Uncle? Grandparents?" She asked me softly.

"No. My parents were only children and my grandparents passed when I was very young."

"..Poor dear.." She muttered softly.

~Next day~

They allowed me to spend the night here, at the place I still have no definite name for. I fell right to sleep in the guest room around nine o'clock. I woke up at ten am by the sound of an alarm clock. "Huh?" *Beep beep beep beep bee-* I hit the snooze button, knowing full well it would go off again soon and rolled over to get out of bed. I groaned, I'm still sore from all my running yesterday. I sat up then hopped off the queen sized bed onto the floor. I saw shadows of feet run along the hall past my room and assumed it was breakfast time. Come to think of it.. Why are there so many kids here anyway? What is this place? I guess I'll ask Ms. Connie later.

My stomach began to grumble loudly to my hunger. Then I came to realization I had no clothes here so I would go to breakfast in the Pjs Ms. Connie gave me, Pink silk button up shirt with a floral design and silk pants to match.

Exiting the room to the brightly illuminated hall, from the windows, I walked slowly out. There were no more kids. I guess they all already got to the place they eat breakfast. Where do I go for breakfast? Hmmmm.. I'm pretty sure I saw a cafeteria on the way to Ms. Connie's office. I'll head that way and look. I walk down the hall to the corner where I turn left to go down the hallway from yesterday. I walk past the door where Beyond and the other no name male ran into me yesterday. 'Yupp this is right so far' I thought.

I walk to where I believe the cafeteria was and, what do you know! My photographic memory serves me correctly again! Haha! I walked in sheepishly for, I do not know anyone in here. I looked around the cafeteria, seeing about nine tables that had seats attached, and only about 6 of them had kids sitting in them. I noticed the kids and I estimated about thirty to thirty kids here. I walk over to the now empty lunch lines and walk up to the lunch lady. "Hello sugar." This thirty something aged woman said to me. She was indeed pretty. "What can I get you Pjs?" She giggled. My face became rosy with embarrassment. I suppose not many kids come out in their pjs huh?

"I.. Uh what do you have?" I asked.

"Most any kind of breakfast food. Name what you like."

"Uhh, I would like pancakes and bacon?"

"Sure! Sugar of course!" She smiled brightly and gathered my food request. "So." She started, "You new?"

"No ma'am. I'm just a guest." I stated.

"Oh alrighty then. Annnd here you go!" She plopped the pancakes and dropped the bacon onto my plate and sent me off to the closest table "Have fun Pjs!" She shouted to me.

I ate my breakfast alone, feeling constant stares from my peers in the cafeteria. As soon as I finished my delicious and warm meal, I dashed out so hide from the stares. I then, from there, walked to Ms. Connie's office to find that it was empty. I wandered around in the office for about ten minutes to find she wouldn't be coming back so I walked to Mr. Rogers's office, remembering my way there.

I knocked twice, like Ms. Connie did, and walked inside. I closed the door behind me and stopped in my tracks. "Oh Ms. Conners. Good timing. This man here," He pointed to the man in front of me, tall, young looking, possibly twenty-five to thirty, short black hair, "Will be taking you to your new home. Payton's orphanage."
