Chapter 6: Self-Possession

A figure walked into the small hotel room. Smiling to himself he walked across the room and rummaged through a bag silently. Annoyed that the object of his desire was not there he threw the bag to the floor before sneaking out, but stopped short when he saw a letter with an address written upon it. Pocketing the note the figure went to leave the room but stopped short when one of the hotel maids walked in. Glaring at the thin blonde the young man brandished a butcher knife from the waist band of his pants. Making quick work of the woman and depositing the body into the bathtub and filling it with water and chemicals from her cleaning cart. Making sure that no blood was on him he left the room closing the door with a soft 'click'.

Waking up trying to move but can't. The cold metal restraints held her to a cool metallic type table. The only thing she can see is darkness and she hears the breathing of another right in her ear she tries to scream but a hand is placed over her mouth. The cold hand had a salty blood taste realizing that her body felt like billions of fiery demon tongues scraping and shredding her skin and the warm liquid spreading over her body. The captor removes the blind fold squinting against the intensely bright light the captor's image came into view but blurry it started to clear-up and astonished at who she saw it was. . . .Light.

Smirking at Raven he whispers in her ear "I know that you enjoy the pain and me cutting you just like this" pointing across the room to a filthy cracked mirror that showed her chained to an earthen wall while rivers of crimson flowed across her body. Light could see the pain in her eyes she manages to wispier "you are one sick pervert!" smiling Light presses his lips to Raven's unable to move enough to break away she lays there helpless.

Light bites her lip causing her to gasps in shock which allows just enough time for Light to snake his tongue in to her mouth. The painful bliss didn't last long before an alarm on Light's watch sounded and he broke away reluctantly leaving he turned and said "I'm not done yet" before he turned he took one last kiss and left; leaving Raven in the dimly lit room.

Raven laid there motionless waiting for her cuts to close before she picked the locks of the chains. She surveyed the dark room a little better noticing there was only one way in or out and there were no windows. Walking across the room to the door she gave it a firm tug but it didn't budge one little bit. Looks like that it's locked from the outside by a dead bolt. She pressed her ear to the door and heard footsteps coming toward the door and a voice that sounded like Watari? What is he-?

-Beep-beep-beep-

Groaning Raven open's her eyes and sighed, it was all a dream but the pain it felt real Raven looked down at her hands. They had blood on them. She sighed and looked at her arms that where covered with long scratches, and thinking for a moment she realized 'I must have scratched my arms in my sleep again… oh well."

A clicking sound came for the other side a ray of light came through the opening and Watari walked in. He looks at Raven and understands what happened Raven thought to herself "God, Watari always knows what to say or in this case not to say; he is so understanding and-…" but the thought was cut short because Watari said "I was wondering where you wondered off to. It is almost four in the evening…. you haven't changed much over the years."

He paused looking at Raven, who was smiling at the old man's comment, before he continued saying "Follow me L has been looking for you; Light said that you left and told him to tell L in short that you where tired of his stupid childish games." Raven frowned at what Light had said.

Quickening her pace she walked into the main room, everyone looked at her but she ignored their looks and walked right to where Light was, sitting next to L, she stared at Light before saying "fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me"

Then whispering in his ear Raven said "You will regret what you have done. I'll make sure that your little plan is ruined." Then Light was knocked out of the chair by Raven. Watari came into the room and looked at Light who started to get up the old man just smiled and walked out of the room saying "You have not changed one bit at all."

Light looks at L who still has paid no mind to what his assistant did. Light spoke up and said to L "Are you going to do anything about that?" he points to where Raven had sat down, similar to L's sitting pose with her head resting on her knees, across the room to glare at him.

L looks at Light and saids "Light-kun she probably had a reason for doing so, looking at Raven for an answer. Raven just smiles and tosses him a flash drive that she was putting a microchip in saying "It'll help with the investigation there is an old case that is very similar to this one."
