Ok, so I've been persuaded to continue... And if you've been wondering, Near Matt & Mello are 15, Emiko Beyond and L are 21. Bit of an age difference...
I fasten the locket around my neck. That one locket, keeping me locked in my past... I drape it over the black and teal dress and wander into the dinner hall.
L, Near and Beyond gawp as I come in. Ugh, why the hell do they do that? This is normal for me! I wear these kinds of dresses all the time!
I sit next to Beyond, and he hugs me around the waist. I let out a little giggle before allowing the others a bit of sympathy. I am probably torturing them right now.
The first course emerges on solid silver trays, and we all tuck in. Of cource, these meals are catered to our very unusual tastes...
"Emiko... You look really stunning in that dress." L murmurs between mouthfuls. I sigh.
I watch Near play with his toys across the table. He's so cute sometimes, with his white hair an toy soldiers. He walks them around his plate, up his glass, across L's arms and back again. I grab one and start walking them up his arms, causing a small bubble of laughter to emerge from his lips. Near? Laughing? Do I really have Near here, or is it a faulty clone?
We finish our slow meal, and ride home. I perch atop the hill overlooking the Whammy's lake, and stare into the darkness. I girl looks back at me, as beautifull as a blossoming rose. She starts walking, and I follow her anxiously. She leads me to a small cavern, in which a small pool links up to the lake. She disappears, and I make the sudden decision to swim.
I plunge into the icy water, without a care in the world. I swim to the centre of the small lake, and catch sign of a chest. I open it, and inside is a small knife, solid silver and encrusted in rubies. My head breaks the surface, and I examine my new find. A small dagger. Rubies, diamonds and topaz on the handle. I smile and slip it into my hair. It looks just like a harmless hairpin, and can't hurt anyone. They'd be completely wrong...
I am seriously considering making this a longer story. It would be quite intersting... Review please! It's like a lollipop to L or jam to BB for me!
