I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was like something out of a movie. I was terrified and I wanted to run but at the same time I was intrigued.
It seemed to be giggling, laughing even, was it at me? I couldn't tell. Maya was hunched over in the corner beside my desk, crying, did she know something I didn't? I was starting to get more and more scared.
"Maya, are you alright?" I asked but I couldn't make out a reply through her sobbing, so I took it as a no.
"Don't worry about her right now, we have more to discuss," said Misa, I had forgotten she was here, she seemed to be unaffected by all the conflicting emotions around her, as if she was used to it.
"This is Ryuk, the Death Note you are holding originally belonged to him. He's going to be a sort of guardian angel for you in the time that you'll be using the Death Note."
"Wait, using the Death Note! You didn't say anything about that!" I think she had more to say but I didn't care, this was already getting out of hand and I could tell it was going to get a lot worse.
"I know I didn't say anything about it, but that was necessary for you to take it from me, and using it is vital for the plan to work."
"Killing is never necessary!" shouted Maya, still crying, "Do you know what you've done to Nick! By handing that to him you've opened his spirit to darkness and evil!"
"This could be amusing." I wondered where that voice had come from, I was still staring at that book when it had spoke but when I looked up I realized that it was that thing, that thing Ryuk.
"Amusing!" I screamed, "This is all about messing with other people's deaths, and killing is one thing I cannot stand!"
"You're getting angry unnecessarily, you must be feeling frustrated and confused," said that woman, I barely knew her, how could I let her tell me to do things my client wanted, especially a client that had been proven guilty for mass murder!
"You need to leave! And you can take your crazy book and your crazy creature with you!" I yelled at her, I needed time to think about everything that had just happened and I wouldn't be able to do that with them here.
"Fine, but I will be back." she replied and she snatched the book and left in a hurry.
Maya finally spoke again but she was still sobbing, "How could you Nick? How could you take that book even after me warning you not to?"
"I'm sorry but it was a request from a client, a final request, I felt I had to honour it and it seemed like it was no big deal but again I'm sorry, you were right to be worried."
"It's not just that now, by touching that book, you've allowed the darkness to enter you, when you touched it I could feel it flowing into you and it scared me so much."
"I-it flowed into me? But I don't feel any different."
"You don't need to feel any different but I can feel it and it really isn't good, I think we should go to the Kurain village and let some of the more experienced mediums check you out."
"That's a good idea."
"But Nick, we need to watch out because I can still send that creature near by."
And with that we left for the train station.
