Chapter 11: Beyond the Romance(Matt's perspective)
"ALL MEMBERS OF WAMMY'S HOUSE REPORT TO THE MAIN ROOM IMMEDIATELY. YOUR LEADERS HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE."
Their voices echoed through the halls. The leaders. I frowned at the thought of those bastards. My bandaged brow throbbed in pain. After B had cut me...no after Beyond had cut me I ran to the Wammy's House medical center and they stitched me up. They couldn't take the pain away though, or the fear. He could have made me blind...I was hysterical. They had given me a pair of goggles to calm me down, they said it would protect my eyes. It was enough for me.
I placed my goggles over my eyes and started walking towards the main room. There was a crowd of people pouring into the main room. I joined the stream of people, blending in with the crowd. It was hectic and disorganized. Then the leaders began to speak again, and the crowd became silent.
"Members of Wammy's House, please welcome... L." The leaders said in their deep voices. The crowd gasped and tried to lift their heads for a better view. They stayed silent though, not daring to speak in the presence of the leaders. My eyes widened and I watched the doors.
L entered wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. He walked with bare feet and wore a mask of indifference, but you could see worry in his eyes. His black hair looked matted as if he had been too preoccupied to shower. It was almost pitiful. He stood in the center of the room causing the crowd to create a circle around him. He waited for the movement to stop, then spoke.
"Hello members. May I start by saying that you are all remarkable young adults, and I only wish that I was here with good news. I am not though. I am here because we have two runaways..." L spoke his words with thought and power. I listened.
Runaways. I thought. He means B, and whatever her name is. B. That bastard... He ruined my life... Here L was in front of me, and he wasn't evil. No, B was evil, and I was going to get my revenge... I promised myself. L continued speaking.
"One is Backup, a very valuable member who has lived in Wammy's House for sixteen years... The other is a new member, that some of you may know, named Acadia alias name Akin. Though some of you may know her, you may not know something about her... she's my sister." L announced this with an undertone of sorrow. The crowd filled with whispers. I let out a gasp.
L's sister? B's little tramp was L's sister... it was perfect. Suddenly, I knew how I would get my revenge. I'd ruin his perfect world, I'd shatter it and take it down. Ruin it the way he ruined my life. I was going to find B, and I was going to expose the truth to him. Then, when he left her and came crawling back to Wammy's, we'd be even. The ends of my mouth curled to a smile at that thought.
"Her information will be given to you...as the brightest of young minds I would like you to collaborate with us in our attempts to find her. Thank you for your attention. That is all."
L left through the main doors, and a few of the leaders trailed behind him. The crowd scattered as L left. We were all given sheets of paper stating all of Akin's information. Looking at it, I realized I couldn't get revenge on my own. I needed the smartest member to help me. Near? No, he's too much like L. More into justice than revenge. Who was the second smartest? Then it hit me, Mello. The eleven year old blonde kid. He was super bright, but definitely had a dark side. I needed that. After the crowed thinned out I walked to his room and knocked on the door. He opened it slowly.
"Yeah?" Mello said quietly. He stood in the doorway awkwardly. His blonde hair was long, giving him almost a feminine appearance. His clothes didn't help either. Plus he looked isolated, just in essence. His room was dark, it was about nine o'clock at night. There was no light coming in through his window, yet he didn't turn on the light in his room. It was as if he was trying to push people away, I don't even think he had a roommate.
"Hey, um Mello. I have a proposition for you." I said holding up the piece of paper. He shook his head.
"I work alone..." He said closing the door. I stopped it with my hand.
"Wait!...with my help... you can finally be better than Near... You can solve this before him, and show L who's the best successor. We can find her, together." I said. I could see my words getting through to him. He nodded and invited me in his room.
"Alright." He said. We had a deal.
Side note: Hey readers, I'm not sure if I have to say this, but I'm gonna say it anyways. I do not own death note or any of the characters other than my OCs.
