Recap: I had also seen something else that had surprised me somewhat, after those nightmares had went away it had been replaced by fond memories that Mercury must've had of the other children and her when they were actually allowed to act their own age, Mercury was in love with me.
~Chapter 9~
The memory made me blush slightly, but when I thought about it, I felt the suffocating darkness ease up a little bit. I thought about this for a while and while I thought of the implications of Mercury being in love with me the darkness seemed to abate much more. What I seen in her dreams indicated that she had been in love with me for almost all of the fourteen years that she had been in the facility. This meant that she probably already knew a lot about me, including my real name and much of my past, I hoped that she didn't but from the way her dreams had indicated I could only assume she did, from there it wasn't hard to see how she had fallen in love with me.
After all, it was either fall in love with me, or to completely hate me. Either way wouldn't have stopped the dreams, remote viewing and precognitive visions she'd had of me. I frowned at the thought of even the slight possibility that Mercury had ended up hating me instead of falling in love with me and was glad that she hadn't, for Mercury would make a very powerful enemy that I might not have been able to beat.
A few seconds later I heard a sound and a warm comforting feeling washed over me, I blinked Mercury? I suddenly felt whole and the familiar warmth of Mercury's mind wrapped around mine, it felt very protective meaning that Mercury must've felt that I was in danger, meaning something must've happened to make her feel that way.
I turned around a little bit to look around for Mercury, a few steps later I could see her standing a few feet away, she smiled at me looking extremely relieved, I smiled back though it was a little more reserved. I saw movement a further to my side and glanced that way, I could see a group of kids and seen the kids from Mercury's dreams. Two of them, Aiyu and a girl I've figured must be Palladia the other telepath in Mercury's group, they were looking back and forth between me and Mercury.
The silence and darkness wasn't as worrying and was a little bit more comfortable now that Mercury was connected to me again. I could sense her slight worry about other things though and immediately wondered what they were, but kept my curiosity as tempered as possible.
Mercury seemed to be struggling against a restriction or a barrier of some type because she couldn't come any closer to me, or at least that was what it seemed like she was trying to do. Then she seemed to realize something and froze. I felt her connection waver and then sever from me completely, the darkness seemed to seize me even more than it had before and the images of both the group of children and Mercury both disappeared behind a wall of the inky blackness.
A weird panic came over me and I began to wonder if Mercury was alright, but I kept myself as calm as possible and thought about what might've happened.
~Mercury's point of view~
I felt so happy to be connected to L again, and was happy that he was also, at the very least relieved to be connected to me too. I was about to see if I could get any closer to either him or the rest of the kids when I a stab of white ran through my vision, I blinked and nearly crumbled to my knees in a strange surge of weakness.
What the hell…is going on?! I bit my lip and felt extremely cold as my connection to L was severed once again, I glanced up, I could still see both him and the kids, but it seemed as though L couldn't see me anymore, nor could Palla or Aiyu.
Another stab of white went through my vision again, I blinked and figured this vision must be life changing for me, because of it's severity, the only thing that caused such symptoms in my visions were generally things that would change my life with something that I didn't want to happen. In short I would probably reject the reality that my vision showed me.
Another stab of white, I closed my eyes and almost instantly I could feel the atmosphere changing around me. When I opened my eyes I was in a dark room, I turned slowly only to see Light sitting on the edge of a bed. I wanted to blink in surprise but it seemed that my body didn't register the movement, it was like I was just seeing from the future me's point of view, I could only watch and do as the other one did. That didn't surprise me, what surprised me was that Light's lower half was naked. I didn't have time to speculate on it as the vision began more fully.
~Begining of vision~
I could sense the change in him, but was slightly unsure of whether the change was for the better or for the worse. He seemed to become aware of me, like this world was full of ghosts and he figured I was merely another one, until now, now I was a human like him, though everyone else still remained as ghosts.
I smiled a bit and started pulling away, "We should probably get back now, the others will be here soon and if we're not back they may begin to suspect something about us." A shiver ran down my spine and I turned to look at him, another shiver went down my spine as I began to recognize the look he was giving me, something like a cross between admiration and adoration.
The look made me freeze, in more ways than one. I was not used to such looks from people, having been considered a freak or a dangerous 'patient' it was easy to see why, but it wasn't something I wanted to see from Light, from the suspect Kira, the very same man who was killing criminals, Light couldn't be…in love…with me, that's ridiculous…isn't it?
Normally the mere assumption would have made me laugh, internally of course, but the look in his eyes contradicted my thoughts, if he was 'in love' with me…it could end up being even more dangerous for me to be around him. If he realized this and didn't like it, it was likely that he'd kill me the first chance he got. Of course I knew he'd have to do it by more conventional means like shooting me, or slicing my wrists and/or throat, since neither Misa with her shinigami eyes nor either actual shinigami would be able to see my name.
At the same time if Light realized it and he liked it, I would need to end this swiftly and do my best to protect L as best as I could…Why? Why would I need to protect L?… Well duh…because you love him! I didn't even try to deny it to myself, I did love L, whether he'd ever return the feeling or not, I didn't particularly care, so long as he was safe and I was able to admit my feelings before we were separated, by death or otherwise. My question was mainly, why should I protect L, when he's perfectly capable of protecting himself…in most cases, I realized that this may be one time when he cannot protect himself, because of the magical threat.
I felt like an hour had passed as I made my speculations, when in reality it took less than about five seconds, what with my being 'psychic' and all. I hated being so limited in my powers, there was no help for it though, Light just had this effect on me after being in direct contact with a magical being. Of course it didn't really hurt me to be touched by him as most 'psychics' were, like Aiyu, who couldn't stand to be in the same room with him for more than a half an hour at a time, much less to be touched by him in any way.
~End of vision~
I blinked, the vision was fading away, What the hell was that?! I couldn't believe what I had just seen, it couldn't be possible. I took a deep breath and settled my thoughts, I knew that this was how I was intended to react, this was very complicated after all.
