Hello!
Sorry for the late update, school finishes soon, so I'll make up for it ^^
Here's a little bit for you guys to know: I know how I can end the story in TWO ways, either way it will end at around 20-23 chapters AND I know that once I've got this story and all my other stories finished and done, I've decided I shall either do another Death Note story, or another Shugo Chara story (maybe Kuroshitsuji?) because I have some great ideas for all three, but I'll let you guys decide which one you'd like!
Will do comment replies after story ;)
Read it, comment and most of all LOVE IT!
By the time the boys had gotten out of the cell and had snuck out of the building, the three boys realised they had been locked in there not just a couple of hours…but a whole two days.
"Where did we put the bikes?" Matt asked Mello, scanning the area for any glimpse of the two blue, mountain bikes.
"How the fuck should I know?" Mello hissed, suddenly annoyed with everything that had been going on in his head.
"You hid them." Matt said, giving Mello a pointed look.
"Oh…" The blonde face-palmed and looked around, when he realised the small albino boy wasn't with them anymore.
"Matt! Where the hell did Near go?!" Mello cursed, looking now not only for the bikes but for Near.
"Shit…how do you lose someone just like that?" Matt asked, his voice weary, his thoughts clouded with only one thought.
He killed a man.
"What are you two doing?" Mello and Matt whipped around at the sound of Nears voice, both sighing in relief.
"God, we actually thought they got you again…" Matt breathed, then noticing the two bikes Near was pushing towards them, "You found the bikes?"
"Was that not obvious?" He asked, continuing to quarrel with Matt.
As Mello watched them both, it dawned on him just how awful they all looked, Near especially. In the dark, he couldn't really see much, but now he could see a whole lot more than what he saw then. His white shirt and pants were covered in blood, otherwise it was ripped up everywhere. His curly tassels of white hair where messy and had dried blood in it, his eyes were more lifeless than ever and his skin….
If it's possible his skin was even paler.
"We need to get back." Mello said suddenly, catching the attention of the other two boys.
"Aye aye Sir!" Matt mock saluted, before hopping on one of the bikes.
"Near just sit on the back of the bike okay?" Mello said, but his voice was less commanding and more worried.
He was worried about the ever growing red blossom that continued to spread throughout Nears clothes.
Near sat on little bit of metal that sat above the back wheel, gripping tight so as he wouldn't fall off, "I feel dizzy…" He murmured, his sentence inaudible to the other two.
"Huh? Did you say something?" Matt asked Near.
"Nothing." Near replied, resisting the urge to hold his temples, the urge to tell them just how much everywhere hurt.
"Let's go!" Mello shouted, kicking off from the ground and pedalling down the path.
"Mello! Wait! Stop!" Matt cried before Mello could go any further.
Hitting the brakes, Mello abruptedly turned the bike to face Matt, "What?!" He shouted.
"It's this way you idiot! Don't get too caught up in the scene!" Matt laughed, beckoning for Mello to follow him.
Mello grumbled something like 'smart ass' and trailed after his friend, always glancing back at Near, still not wanting to alert Matt, he kept quiet about it.
Until…
"We're finally back!" Matt sang, running to the orphanage and hugging the big mass of old bricks, "God…we're finally saf- Near?!"
Near had gotten up off the bike and had immediately fallen down onto the ground, the blood that he had been losing now very obvious for everyone to see.
"Near, are you okay?" Matt asked, running back over to where Mello was, crouching beside Near.
"I'm fine, really-" Near managed to choke out the last few words before coughing up blood onto his hands.
"What's all this ruckus?!" The very evident, grumpy voice of Roger echoed from the front door, "Oh, Near! Mello! Matt! What happened? Where have you been?!" He exclaimed after recognising the students that were in front of him.
"No time to tell Roger, we need to get Near to a hospital!" Mello ordered, glaring at Roger.
"What?" Roger peered over Mellos shoulder and went into a state of alert, "Matt! Run inside and call the private ambulance!"
"Yes sir!" Matt said, running off to the building.
"Mello! I need you to alert Watari of our situation, I'll take care of Near." Roger turned to Mello and took Near from him, sweat forming in little beads across his brow.
"But Roger-"
"No buts! I can't run as fast as you, so go! He's care left not only ten minutes ago, follow the tracks!" Mello nodded and grabbed the bicycle, before peddling of after the limo as if his life depended on it.
Roger picked Near up, now realising the little, fragile boy was standing on a very thin line, one in which….
That he hoped he wouldn't cross.
Matt: Why so short chapter?
