A/N: Chapter 3! Woop Woop! Bear in mind, its more crap than all the other's put together. I thought I'd put this up tonight as I'm going on holiday this weekend – two weeks in Italy! Yay! Sadly, no computers and I wouldn't be mean and not put this chapter on...
By the way, CHAMMIE YOU EVIL (BEEP)! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DID THAT!

Chapter 3: "What the hell is he doing?"
"Remember this, Nate. I will come for you."
Near jumped awake in fear, like he had every night for the past ten years of his life. Near was now fifteen years old and he had matured both mentally and physically since he came to Wammy's House. Everyone would say he had stayed the same but was now much bigger, but anyone close to him would notice how his eyes – they had become so cold and distant. Near dressed and readied himself for another monotonous day. Near looked down to his unfinished puzzle, it seemed to be calling to him. Sighing, he put the last pieces of his blank puzzle together to create the little black L in the top corner.
"Because L, you look like him." Near shuddered as Nate's memories floated back to him. He unconsciously let his hand trace over the scar that had been created that day. B.
Waking from his reverie, Near pushed away the now completed puzzle and made his way to his first lesson. The day passed quickly and Near found himself walking back to his room for bed. When Near reached his destination, he found a young boy waiting for him.
"Yes?" Near asked tonelessly.
"T-This was left at the entrance for you." He said before handing Near a white envelope and hurrying off.
It's probably from L Near thought as he walked into his room and placed the letter on his bed. It took Near a moment to realise that something seemed different. His eyes swept the room, and then he saw it. His puzzle, blank, except L's insignia was now covered in a red substance – Near walked closer. There was a single smudged handprint and the L had been added to, it made a...
No. No. No. NO!
Near was tried to convince himself he was imagining this.
Hi picked up the puzzle in its board and put his finger through the sticky substance.
Strawberry Jam.
No! It can't be!
But who knew about the jam? I never told anyone that! Near argued to himself and before he knew what he was doing, Near threw the puzzle out of his opened window. He faintly heard all of the pieces scatter across the ground as he slammed the window closed and collapsed.

"I will come for you"
Near woke in a panic, as usual. Why am I on the floor? Near asked himself. Then yesterdays memories came flooding back. Before Near could even respond to his own thoughts...
BANG! Near watched as his door was kicked open and a seventeen year old blonde strode into the room.
"Whoa, Near. You look like shit. Roger sent me, in case you're wondering. He got worried when precious Near didn't show up to lessons, and even more when he found out you threw your puzzle out of your window."
Near was far too busy to be dealing with the chocolate obsessed blonde at the minute.
"Mello. Please leave me alone." He said quietly, trying to keep up his emotionless facade.
Mello gave Near a strange look and then muttered "Fine." Then he left.
Little did Near know that when he left, he took with him an unopened envelope from Near's bed. Mello smiled mischievously as he wandered over to a bench outside. Eager, Mello opened the envelope. Wait, this isn't from L! Mello cured himself for being so stupid but then another thought came to mind, who'd write to Near? Mello took out the sheet of paper inside and read;
Dear Nate,
I hope you remember each word I said to you, after I killed your parents.
You belong to me, and I'm coming for you.
Mello reread the letter.
"Nate... Oh my God...-" Mello uttered before he was cut off by a loud yell.
"What the hell is he doing?!" a boy (who Mello recognised as one of the younger orphans called James) screamed.
Mello looked to the direction he was pointing.
On the roof of Wammy's House, on the very edge, was a figure all in white, so beautifully pale, with his hair blowing in the wind. The angel stepped forward.
"Near!" Mello screamed, as he watched Near fall.
Blimey L's lolly! Near just jumped of the roof of Wammy's house! What has the word come to?!
Review anyone? Mia x
