I do not own Death Note, only my OCs.
Chapter 19 – Black and yellow
''Okay... If you say so.'' Misa agreed a bit suspiciously. I didn't want to explain myself, so I remained silent.
Misa led me and Matsuda to the nearest stairs and we began going upwards. To be honest, I was getting tired. I wanted to end this whole shopping trip as soon as possible. But I doubt Misa would actually listen to me.
She decided to drag me into a regular clothes' store. Why do I get the feeling this will cost her even more?

The 9th
''Oh, this is lovely!'' Rachel exclaimed.
''It is.'' Michael agreed.
They've just gone out of the car and were now walking down a stone path to the big wooden house. Jake was ahead of them running to the door, while Caitlyn was walking a bit behind them in a slow pace. Her mood was not exactly 'happy'.
''And how lucky are we to get such wonderful weather this day.'' Rachel smiled softly at the sun. She turned around to see that her daughter wasn't feeling her mood.
''Caitlyn, cheer up! It's your birthday, we're at a beautiful place and the weather is perfect! Why are you so down?'' She asked gently.
''What if something happens on this birthday as well?'' The girl asked a bit fearfully.
''Oh come on, don't be silly. Those two times were just coincidence. Besides, there's nothing to go wrong today. We're going to have a great time, just the four of us. Isn't that right, Michael?'' She directed her gaze at her husband.
''Oh yes, of course.'' He quickly responded.
At that time they reached the front entrance. It was indeed a nice place; the place they were at was surrounded by forest. There was a pond with water lilies in the garden. It itself had many different kinds of flowers and colors. The path to the wooden house was well-kept and smooth. The house itself looked straight like from a fairytale. The scenery was indeed beautiful. It was also nice to get out of the city for once.
''Alright, now,'' Rachel started as they got into the fairly cool house for a hot day. ''I'll go cook today's special meals, and you can go and play, okay?''
''I want to help mom!'' Jake exclaimed cheerfully and ran to his mother.
Caitlyn didn't say anything, just went through the back door into the garden, Michael right behind her. Her mother just sighed deeply and began preparing.
The young girl wandered around the trees and flowers, her father right by her side, while finally she decided to stop and sat onto the soft grass, under an apple three. The man did the same. He was worried for her.
''Caitlyn, are you alright?'' He asked her carefully.
''More or less.'' She answered truthfully. ''Just that... I didn't find the need to go somewhere for my birthday.''
''Well, we bought this summer house and we better use it, right?''
''I guess...'' She trailed off. ''Tell me a story.''
''Which one? You already heard all of my stories ten times.'' He chuckled.
''The one with about how ten scamps.''
''Oh, that one? Alright then, here goes...''
And so Michael told Caitlyn a tale about how a man went to look for free bread, and on his way he met a horse, a bull, a boar, a goat, a sheep, a cat, a dog, a goose and a rooster. All of them jointed the man's quest and went looking for food together.
On their way they walked into a forest and found a house there. The man quietly went over to it and looked through the window. There were ten bandits, all sitting around a table and counting money. The man then went back to his fellow males and instructed them to surround the house and yell at the top of their lungs how they can. The whole forest trembled because of their screams, and the ten bandits fled the house out of fear.
The ten scamps then walked into the house. There the man found himself some meat and drinks, and also fed each of the animal what they liked. After they ate, all the males went around the place and found a suitable sleeping place for each of them.
Meanwhile, the ten bandits still ran for their lives. They ran until they were tired and stopped to catch their breaths. One of the bravest said the he will go back and check out who yelled so horribly.
So he went silently into the house, and saw that one man slept in a bed. The bandit thought that he could easily kill the man and be done with it. He went over to the table to take a knife, but suddenly the dog burst from under the table and began biting his legs. The bandit began screaming, and it awoken the cat, who was sleeping on the fireplace. He jumped onto the man's face and began tearing his eyes out. The thief tried to run out through the door, but the goose began nipping him. Then the man fell into the porch, where he was violently greeted with the sheep and the goat, and the bull lifted him up on his horns and threw him outside. There the boar began ripping his shins. The bandit began running for his life into the forest, but the horse caught up with him and hit him in the back hard. All that time the rooster on the second floor screamed.
The bandit finally made it to his friends, almost alive. The other men began asking him what happened. He fearfully said what happened in his own version. It was dark, so he couldn't see that the ones who did all the damage were animals. He thought they were people. He said that he was lucky to get out of there alive, but most of the men were on the second floor and they kept yelling to bring him to them. He said that if they did, he would have been dead. When the bandits learned how many men were there, they decided to run as far from the house as possible and never come back.
As for the scamps, the money left by the bandits were enough for them to live the rest of their lives in that house.
As Michael finished the story, Caitlyn immediately asked for another. And so the man told tales until his wife called them for dinner.
''I've made your favorite, Caitlyn; stew with courgette, tomatoes, onions and potatoes.'' Rachel said sweetly as she set up the plates.
With that Caitlyn's face lit up. She loved that kind of stew. And her mother made it delicious every time. In fact, courgette was her favorite vegetable.
When they finished their meals, Caitlyn decided to go out to pond. She really enjoyed the smell of water lilies, and the pond was full of them.
As she went there, her father by her side again, she began hearing this strange noise. But she ignored it. When they came there, the noise only grew stronger. It was like buzzing. Caitlyn had a good idea of what it was, but she chose to ignore it. What could she do really?
But the sound just kept growing stronger and stronger, or if more precise, closer and closer. Even her father started hearing it.
''Caitlyn,'' He said warningly. ''Maybe we should head back to the house.''
The girl was too beginning to feel the threat, so she nodded. She carefully got up from the ground, but before she could take a step, she felt immense pain on her left shoulder. She gasped and grabbed the stinging place, only to find in insect, which she recognized as a wasp.
''Are you alright?'' Michael saw the look on her face, and so he went to her.
She nodded slightly and tried to go forward, but another sting hit her in the neck. Now she yelled and threw the wasp away from her. But that was only greeted with more stings, and now in her head. Many bees were trapped in her hair, and out of desperation they stung where they could. Now Caitlyn was screaming at the top of her lungs, her father was panicking as he carried her to the house.
Fortunately, the girl was not allergic to bee stings. If she would have been, she would have died. She would have died if she was left alone, but she wasn't. Her mother quickly found some adrenaline in the house and injected it into her. Then they called an ambulance, which took the girl to the hospital to make sure she's okay.

''This is the place.'' Misa announced loudly and cheerfully as the three of them stopped.
''Another store?'' I asked tired. I was bored and exhausted, I wanted to go back to my room. Maybe play some piano.
''I promise this is the last one.'' Misa said and went into the shop. I had no choice but to follow her. Matsuda too. And he was carrying a lot of bags.
After another good half an hour, I finally managed to drag Misa out. It was really getting late, and had to go already. That was my excuse, but really, I was just tired and bored.
A/N: Arghhh, sorry that this was shorter than usual, like I said, I have a huge writer's block.
That story was actually my favorite one when I was a kid. My dad used to tell me it over and over again before bed. Ah, good memories...
My mom actually had that stinging situation, only with angry bees instead of wasps. They just began stinging her head, there were like twenty or more of them. Oh god, my sister and I were terribly scared when she said ''Find me adrenaline in twenty minutes or I'll die''. Yup, way to keep the motivation going! And since she's still alive, we found it! But dear god, I was terrified and shook for about a week.
Hope you enjoyed! Please be so kind, well, kinder than me, and review! Pretty please?
