So, the 11th chapter is up already, to think I only started this over a week ago. Anyway, this chapter is probably my longest so far. So, celebrate a little for me. :)
Thanks for all the follows, favourites and reveiws, they are much appreciated.
Anyway, I do not own Death Note or it's characters. (Believe me, it would be a lot different) I only own my own characters and the plot.
Enjoy
I stopped before I opened the door.
"My father couldn't have died from the Death Note. If that was true, then the others would have shown up a few years ago." I muttered. Then I yawned. "It's not important information, it was just a dream I should just get back to bed."
I walked to my bed and laid down, I put the bed covers over me and soon drifted off to sleep.
Dear Diary,
Last night, I had a strange dream. My dad was there and he told me that the fact that he died of a heart attack could help the case somehow. But, I'm probably just sleep deprived. Well, I hope so anyway, just thinking of Shinigami being a real thing in this world just gives me the creeps. -Grace.
I put the pen and book away and walked out of my bedroom.
I stretched my arms out and yawned. To my surprise, no-one was in the office. Why wasn't anyone working on the case today?
I sighed and walked towards the computer screens. They were switched off.
"Weird." I muttered, walking out of that room and towards the stairs. I walked up them and to the living room. They were all sitting in front of the television, staring at the screen, except for Matt who was busy with his DS.
"What's going on? Why isn't anyone working?" I asked.
"We're taking a break, Grace-san. It's a Sunday, isn't it?" L said, his gaze didn't leave the screen.
"Killers don't rest on Sundays." I muttered.
"Neither do detectives, but this is the first day off since we got here." Mello said, taking a bit out of his chocolate.
"All right then. Since it's a day off or whatever. I'm going out. I'll be back in a few hours." I said, turning and walking out of the door.
"See you later, Grace-san." L said, waving at me as I left.
I rolled my eyes and walked down the stairs and out of the building. I got into my car and drove to Ellie's house.
I got out and knocked on her door. Five minutes later she answered.
"Oh, hey Grace. Where's L?" She asked, looking around me with a raised brow.
"Never mind about L. I need to speak to you." I said.
She nodded and let me in. We sat down on her sofa.
"So, what is it?" she asked.
'Now, this is the perfect time to tell her that me and L, 'broke up'. Then, I don't have to worry about her telling anyone.'
"L and I...broke up." I said.
"...Oh, well, that didn't last very long, I have to say. I'm sorry, Grace." she said, taking a sip of a drink that was on her coffee table. "I need to ask you something."
I looked up at her.
"When were you going to tell me about your new career?" she asked.
"Oh, well, it's not really a career. It's a trial for young detectives." I lied.
"I see." Then she narrowed her eyes at me and glared. "There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"
"No, what are you talking about?" What is she getting at?
"Well, it's better if you tell me now. I'm going to find out sooner or later."
"And, how are you going to do that?"
She laughed. "Well, for starters, I'm now one-hundred-percent certain that there is something you're hiding, based on your reaction. Secondly, you're not the only detective, Grace. I'm pretty good too, you'll be surprised." she said, taking another sip out of her orange coloured drink.
"Well, you know that I do in fact have something to hide. But, being a good detective won't get you anywhere."
She smiled and looked me in the eyes.
"I bet it has something to do with the hotel, L, the trial for young detectives, and the fact that you haven't been in school for a full week."
I laughed. "You really are good. Shall I tell you the truth?"
She nodded, smiling as if she was pleased with herself.
"Well, L is a detective and he's leading this trial, I was a person that he had chosen, along with four others. That's the reason I haven't been in school for a week, and the hotel was for the others. They came from different parts of the world, you know." I lied.
"You're lying, Grace. It's literally written on your face." she said. "Although, that was a pretty believable lie, I'll give you that."
I frowned. "You'll never find out, Ellie. Stop trying."
"So, what about this diary?" she asked, holding up my diary.
"How the hell did you get that!" I yelled, trying to get it off her.
She jumped up and kept it out of my reach. "I know you carry it with you every where, Grace. It was easy just to keep you distracted while going through that bag you brought with you. Now, here's the deal, you tell me what's going on yourself, and I won't look in the diary. But, if you don't, I'll read this diary, find out what's going on and tell your mother. Which is it?"
"That's a dirty trick, you know that, Ellie?" I said.
She grinned at me. "Which is it, Grace. Choose wisely."
"Fine. I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone, including my mum."
She nodded and gave me my diary back.
"Sit down, this could take a while." I said, pointing at the sofa.
She did as I asked and I sat down too.
"You're probably not going to believe me but...Do you remember that anime called Death Note?"
"No." she replied.
"Well, it is a real anime, and you loved it when you were younger, but for some reason you're memory has been wiped so you can't remember anything."
She was about the laugh, but I stopped her.
"On that Friday of school, you know, when I went over your house and played video games until midnight? Well, I was kidnapped by a character from Death Note and I was taken to a hotel of which five characters from Death Note were waiting. They were somehow brought from their world to this and no-one has any memory of it. Anyway, they wanted me to help them solve cases as a detective with them, while trying to figure out how to get them back."
She didn't speak for a few minutes, as if she was trying to understand what I was saying. Then, she looked up at me and said. "I believe you. That can't be a lie, it wouldn't benefit you in any way."
"Thank you. I'm glad you understand. Oh, and L was never my boyfriend."
"I thought so. So, what are their names?"
"L, Light, Near, Matt and Mello." I replied, surprised at how well she was taking this.
"I see...You like any of them?"
I hesitated before saying. "I guess I have nothing to lose. Yes, I do."
"Really? Who?"
"Now, now, Ellie. I'm telling you everything except that." I laughed.
"All right. I'll probably figure it out anyway."
I smiled.
"You should have just told me the truth instead of lying, you know." she said, taking a sip out of her drink again.
I smiled and laughed.
Hey, this chapter only took me 45 minutes to write. And for such a long chapter, I am seriously impressed with myself right now. Oh, and by the way, if I don't post a chapter one day, I'll post two the next, so I don't miss anything out.
Favourites, follows and reveiws are appreciated, I'll post another chapter tomorrow.
