Chapter two:
Rodger grabs the radio and brings it up pushing the button only to speak. "This is Rodger report."
"Linda was found murdered." The teacher that called him says. "The police are already on the scene."
"Alright that must be the murder the police warned us about. Head back to the orphanage for now and I will be informing L about this. I just want to make sure we have everyone else before I do contact him." Rodger replies. "So look out for anyone else on your way back. That goes for everyone."
"Rodger that." The teacher responds and a few other replies come in.
Rodger stops pushing the button and puts the radio away. He looks to the kids coming over to him. "Time to head back."
"Awww." The kids whine with sad faces.
"Let's go." Rodger begins walking with the kids following him.
They make it back to the orphanage in one piece and see a few others coming back.
…..
The figure moves into an alley way. "Tonight is so far so good. However most people will be heading back to inside soon." The figure speaks to no one as the figure stands in the alley. "No matter. I can target them whenever I please." The figure says glancing back but before speaking again turns to facing forward. "But first there is a little problem I must finish off before I can finally be free." The figure begins moving down through the alley. "Whammy's house."
…..
The Whammy's house orphans are heading to their rooms to get ready for bed after a great day of trick or treating.
Near heads up to his room keeping his hood up and once he gets there he makes sure to close the door behind himself before heading over to his bed not bothering with the lights. He climbs onto it not bothering to get under the covers and he lets himself think for a few moments until the noise calms down to silence as the orphans finish getting to bed. He then sits up and turns to the window that has it's curtains open allowing him to look outside.
Tonight has just gotten started.
…
Ace is walking through a forest he found himself in. He has dark brown hair that is styled in the wind swept to the left look and he has aqua blue eyes. He is one of the major players of Whammy's house. "This place is kinda spooky. How did I even end up here?" He wonders to himself in his voice that is like honey. "Last I remember is that I was in my room going to bed." He stops walking when he sees a dark figure up ahead. "Um…. Hello?" He calls. "Who's there?"
The figure slightly turns towards Ace as if to acknowledge the other.
"Who are you? Answer me!" Ace says trying to hide his fear.
The figure turns a little revealing the knife the figure is holding.
"Whoa there." Ace begins walking backwards as he sees this. "Can't we talk about this or something?" He is barely holding back his shivers of fear.
The figure turns more till the figure is facing Ace.
Ace swallows harshly and before he can turn around to try to run away he ends up tripping over a tree root that is sticking out of the ground that a small critter could go under it. He falls harshly onto his butt and he closes his eyes as he lands only to open them then have to look up as the figure stands there looking down at him. His eyes widen as his eyes meet the figures eyes as the figure raises the knife. "Wait! You're-"
The knife comes down and blood flies into the air.
…
Mello opens his eyes finding himself in a field that is extremely beautiful looking with the full moons light shining down onto it as if giving it some sparkle to it.
"It is good to see you." A woman's voice speaks so kind and gentle.
"Huh?" Mello looks around himself trying to find the woman. "Who are you?"
A shadow in the moonlight makes Mello turn around enough to look behind himself as he looks up to the moon as he turns.
There is a woman floating down from about the middle of the moon almost as if she is riding the moonlight. "Greetings Mello."
Mello gasps as he regconizes her. "You're…." He begins in shock.
The woman lands gracefully on the ground and Mello turns to fully face her.
"You're Luna! The Goddess of the moon!" Mello finally finds enough of his voice to finish saying verbally that he recognizes who this is.
Luna smiles. "That is correct." She closes her eyes and her smile drops to a serious one. "I have come for your help." She opens her eyes halfway. "Help that only you can provide."
Mello blinks in surprise. "Me?" He questions putting a hand on his chest.
Luna nods. "Yes. You and you alone. We have no time to waste."
Mello's hand falls to hang at his side and he takes a moment to process this before blinking changing his look to determined. "What can I do?" He asks.
Luna smiles again. "I'm glad that you have accepted this. Now let's get down to business. There is a darkness that must be stopped. I would do it myself however this is no ordinary darkness."
"What do you mean?" Mello asks a little confused.
"Under the darkness is a good person." Luna explains. "All I can do is destroy it but in order to do so I will have to destroy the good underneath the darkness as well."
"But you are a Goddess. If you can't stop this darkness then how am I supposed to do so?" Mello asks feeling a little worried.
"Because you are the only one that is alive that is able to reach the good underneath the darkness." Luna responds. "Can I count on you to help me by stopping this darkness's rampage?" She leans closer to Mello.
