Near 12
Near sat in a dark room leaning on the wall not moving, he was dead his heart was no longer beating but his body was moving somehow and he knew about it. He still had his soul in the body, he could feel, see, and hear everything around him. He was a murder and he just wanted to die, he killed a girl that was in the place that had taken him in and raised him. He had hurt someone and become the enemy, he was a killer the one thing he lived for to stop them. He couldn't moving, he couldn't blink or even see. He sat there on the cold ground in the dark wanting to get up and scream that he killed someone and turn himself in to the cops.
But he couldn't.
He was stuck. Here. Alone. Scared. Helpless. He just wanted Mello, he wanted him to hold him and tell him everything would be alright and you didn't kill someone it was just a bad dream.
The door opened to the room he was in and Near's body moved without him doing anything, he just watched as he stood up and a man walked in. He wasn't tall but he wasn't short, he was taller than Near but then he looked like he was a tween when he was really 20; thou he didn't mind. That is beside the point.
He walked up to Near who was now standing and waiting to be told what to do. "Good job." The one that controlled him. "Now you need to kill Mello." He told him and Near nodded but Near was saying no trying to get his body to talk. "Go." The voice told him and Near slowly walked out of the room and up to the main housing area. Near was quick on his feet he hid in bushes and climbed trees and jumped from them to stay out of sight. He jumped to the window to Mello's room hiding in the leaves staring into it. Good no one was there. He climbed into the open window and snuck under the bed and waited. He was still covered in dry blood but it was okay, he didn't care anymore it didn't leave marks but he wondered if the other would find him before he killed him. After sometime Mello walked into the room with Matt and they both sa down on the bed together.
"Matt I saw the white hair! I swear he is still alive!" Mello cried as he hiccupped and blew his nose. "Mells come one, you saw his dead body." Matt said softly. "He still had a heart beat!" Mello stood up but Matt pulled him back down. "I am not fucking crazy." Mello made that clear. "You are just trying to deal with you losing someone you liked." Matt said softly looking at the ground tapping his feet on the floor softly feeling a bit weird right now.
"Loved." Mello said softly with a huff. "Loved?" Matt asked. "Yes." Mello pouted flopping down on the bed and hugged his old pillow snuggling his face into it wanting to cry some more. "Mello…" Matt said softly putting a hand on the small of his back rubbing his back softly and sighed laying down next to him and pulled him close cuddling with him. "I am sorry Mells; I hope he comes back." He nuzzled his soft blonde hair softly and Mello held him back closing his eyes hiding his face in the other vest.
Near listened to all this and he was going insane. "I AM HERE!" He yelled but the body made no sound just waited for the other to leave or fall asleep. Near waited a long time, but soon after the long wait they were both asleep and Near crawled out from under the bed. He had a knife with him and he walked up to the bed and looked down at the two cuddling in the bed and he saw Mello was the most annoying side, the one against the wall. He jumped on the bed quickly waking up both but it was okay as long as he killed Mello. Matt and Mello eyes widen seeing Near and his state and Near thrusts the knife down and Mello moved getting his arm not his chest or stomach. Near was pulled off of Mello by Matt and he held his arms behind his back tightly but Near got free and he jumped out of the window. "NEAR!" Matt shouted after him looking out the window.
The guards saw the white boy running across the yard and quickly tackled him to the ground and Near fought like a wild animal to get free. They cuffed Near and took him away. Mello got up and ran out of the room holding his shoulder as it was limp and he ran down seeing Near fighting and eyes wild and he stared at him in shock. Near saw Mello and he lunged at him and tried to get at him but not in a good way. He was shaking staring at him, he couldn't believe that Near was like this. Near had changed him so much, and made him grow up in a short period of time by him just loving Mello and now he was trying to kill him. He didn't know what to think or do, he wanted Near back not this zombie like thing; Near wasn't a killer he was the catcher.
Near was thrown into a dark room tied up and he laid on his side his white dirty hair over his face and he just laid there, like he was when he awaited his master to come to him before. He would stay "off" until his master came.
Mello stared at where Near was taken off and he was stunned but Matt took him away from the scene and to the doctor. "Mello." He said softly walking to him. "You are hurt you need to get it checked out." He told him concerned and Mello just nodded going with Matt as he looked at the ground; sitting down on the bed in the nurses office he just let them pick and propped at him, he flinched a few times but stayed quiet not really looking around him.
The door opened and Near turned "on", his master was here; he walked up to Near and touched his head softly smirking to himself. His hair falling over his eyes and a twisted grin on his face. "You are now the murderer. How amusing." He purred touching Near's head and Near was final able to move his body. He sat up quickly to look up at the one who controlled him but he was gone and alone, chained to the ground in a dark room. A killer… Killer… That word sounded so wrong to him and he shook his head Mello would defend him…Right?" He asked himself and sighed sitting and waiting for someone to come for him.
