Leave a Trail chapter one
Journey
The car was silent. The atmosphere was uncomfortable. Carlyn was annoyed. She missed her dad already. And she was annoyed at the ridiculous amount of time she'd be spending in the car with the man who took her away from her father. From Ireland all the way to England. She sighed.
She was sitting in the backseat, the same cherry lollipop in her mouth. She winced; it was stuffy in the car.
"May I open the window a little?" Carlyn asked politely, despite the rage inside.
"Yes, there is a button under the door handle." Watari replied.
Carlyn pressed the button, and watched it roll down half of the way. She was sitting in a car seat, and she put her hand out of the window, feeling the wind dodge in and out of her fingers. She didn't want to go to an orphanage. Even if she was L's newest successor. She didn't care. She just wanted her father.
Like any three year old girl did. She already missed her dad.
"Do I have to be L's successor?" Carlyn asked.
Watari chuckled. "Most children are very excited to have an opportunity like this."
"I don't care."Carlyn was silent for a minute or two. "How long will this car ride take?"
"A few more hours."
More silence. For about ten minutes this time. Carlyn looked out of the window, and bit down on her lollipop. She scanned the cars as they drove by Watari's fine black car.
Carlyn smiled, seeing a cute dog in one of the cars, one of its paws were on the window of the car, and it's tongue was out. It looked very happy.
Then Carlyn saw a different car. She leaned forward and hit Watari's shoulder lightly.
"Yellow car no git backs." She smiled.
Watari sighed, he'd had enough of this with Mello and Matt. He chuckled half heartedly. Now there was three of them...he knew that Carlyn would get on well at Wammy's.
"What are the other kids like at the orphanage?"
"They're very nice, and smart." Watari replied. "They all gave each other nick names. I wonder what they'll give you."
Carlyn looked around the car. She saw a toy. It was a small, colourful lego robot. And a wrapper from a chocolate bar. She wondered what they were doing there. Well, he was running an orphanage...who knows what will happen?
The only experience Carlyn had ever had with orphanages was seeing "Annie" with her sisters.
Her sisters. Where were they? Oh. They're probably at an orphanage too... Carlyn sighed.
"What's L like?" she asked.
"He's quite quiet. But I see you like lollipops? There will be no trouble finding any around him, then. He has a bit of a sweet tooth." Watari smirked.
"Do you think people will like me there?"
"You seem like a nice girl. I think people will like you." Watari smiled politely. Carlyn sighed and looked out of the window again. Her hand was still out the small gap she had made. She felt something hit against her hand. It was starting to rain.
Carlyn closed the window, and sighed once again. She clasped her hands together and played with her fingers. She was bored already. She had no idea what to do for the next few hours. Oh wait, she did know. She was going to sit in a car.
Carlyn yawned. She was pretty tired. But she didn't want to sleep in front of a stranger. She hated doing that.
But, she was going to an orphanage. If she shared a room, she'd be doing that every night.
She'd just have to get over her little fear...She closed her eyes, and let her head rest against the side of the car seat.
As she was about to fall asleep...Bump!
"Sorry." Watari said. They'd just hit a large pothole, and Carlyn jumped, hitting her head off of the windo.
"Ouch..." Carlyn rubbed her head. "It's 'kay." She said. She was still too tired, despite the large bump. She put her head back on the side of the car seat, and closed her eyes again. Watari had his window open still, so Carlyn could hear the wind brushing harshly against the car.
And the rain had gotten heavy. It was batting against the window, and it was getting harder for Carlyn to sleep. But she eventually did.
And luckily enough, her nap took a few hours.
"Carlyn." Watari said, opening the door of his car.
Carlyn opened her eyes, and stretched her arms, yawning.
She looked out to see huge gates, it was still raining heavily. Behind the huge gates was a house.
"Welcome to Wammy's house."
A/N: Yayyy! Trail is Carlyn btw. She doesn't have her Wammy name yet.
And I know at the end of the prologue I called her Hide. Hide was her original name, but I changed it to an Irish name because she is Irish. So sorry for any confusion. Read on, friends!
