L chapter two
I sat in the corner with my legs crossed drinking my tea, zoned out. "So what have you been doing with your life?" I heard him say. I had almost said it, but thought for a moment, had I really forgotten that easily? I saw him staring at me then suddenly remembered. "Oh yeah, uhm I'm a writer for a major newspaper. Nothing too fancy." I heard myself say as I sipped my tea. "That's nice." He replied. I looked over to see him still adding sugar cubes to his tea. "I still don't understand you, no matter how much you say that won't affect you, it's still terrible to eat that much sugar." I said with a laugh. He just looked at me for a moment then went back to adding sugar to his tea.
This went on for what felt like forever before he was pleased with his tea. Actually I don't even think that would be considered tea anymore. Soon a man entered the room and handed L a stack of letters, this man looked familiar for some reason. "Good evening miss Jade, you're looking well." he said with a nod. Then it hit me. "Mr. Wammy?" I asked and he just smiled and walked out of the room. "Well now," L said looking at his papers, "I have work to do. You may exit this room, turn right, walk a while, go up the stairs, turn left, there will be a room at the end of that hall. You may stay there for now." I grabbed my tea and followed his directions to the room.
I entered the room to find a mess. You seriously couldn't even see the floor. "Oh well this will not do." I said to myself. I started to pick up a few things but there was just so much, how could anyone have this much stuff? By the time I was finished I had all the clothes folded in a neat pile on the bed (I was surprised to find a bed under all this mess), plates and forks had been stacked on a desk in the corner, I found a laptop and a cell phone, and a bunch of wires and cords. After all this work I became very tired, so I decided to take a nap on the newly made bed.
"She a basket case, that's why she's perfect for the training." I heard a male voice say. For some reason no matter how hard I tried to open my eyes it just wouldn't work. There was another voice now, a female, "Yes but I don't think it would be right, hasn't this child been through enough already? What if the training damages her even more?" There was a sigh and then the man's voice came again, "She won't know the difference, she's mad as a hatter!" The woman laughed then came a familiar sound, it was a hum. It was soothing for the time being. Suddenly I felt cold hands taking my wrists, the voices became muffled but they were close, "Prepare her for step one of the training." They said.
"NO." I screamed sitting up. "Ow, what the hell is wrong with you?" I heard a voice say. I looked around to see L holding the side of his face, I must have hit him when I sat up. "Oh uh sorry." I said giving him an apologetic look. There was a moment of silence between us. Suddenly my cell phone rang, "Hello?" I answered. There was a pause before someone spoke, "Are you alone?" It said. I looked at L and he smiled at me, then I replied, "It's negative one." There was another pause before the voice came again, only more serious, "You know your mission, follow it." Then they hung up. I put the phone down and sighed. "A friend of yours?" L asked. My mind went blank for a moment and all I said was, "Uh yeah, something like that."
