Day and Night Eight
This place is terrible. Really. I have no idea where I am, there's no freaking heat, and I had to sit on the floor. Do you have any idea how dirty it is? Ugh, what the hell is going on?
After Light and Misa locked me in this cold-as-hell room I sat around observing my situation and my surroundings. I didn't see any cameras so maybe I could've taken out my phone. There was an open window about an arms length above my head. I could get out that way but how? There was nothing for me to boost myself up on and if I did get out, what next? I have no single clue where I am or how to get back.
Suddenly the door opened with loud CREAAAK! A small boy stood there, one hand at his white hair twirling a strand around. He clearly stood out amongst everything. White hair, pale skin, white loose shirt and white loose pants. The only thing that wasn't white about him were those dark gray eyes. It was like they were boring holes right through me... scary.
The small boy spoke up. His voice was the same one I heard before- monotone but soft, "Hello, Matt-"
"I don't want your greeting!" I snapped at him. "What the hell is going on here?"
The small boy barely paid attention to me. He waltzed in like he owned the place and sat down across from on the floor. He began again, "My name is Near. Of course, that is just an alias like you- Mail."
How the hell-? ! This kid... how does he know my real name? I opened my mouth to speak but I was so shocked I couldn't get anything to come out. "I.. H-How..."
Near continued, "I have been put in charge of the execution of the vampires in this area. You, Matt, are going to participate in the capture of next target whether you like it or not. Our next target is-"
"Mello, I know," I said boredly. "Light already told me."
"'Mello'?" Near echoed. "I suppose he sticks straightly to his alias these days," he murmured to himself, then informed me of something I didn't know. "Mello's real name is Mihael. Mihael Keehl to be exact. He uses the alias Mello because he thinks it keeps him out of danger."
"'Danger?'" I repeated after him. Near nodded once. I gaped at the small white boy. How does he know all this stuff? "What danger?"
"People like me, I suppose." Near shrugged a little. Almost all Vampires these days are changing to protect themselves from dying. I'm certain Mello's trying to do the same."
"If your so sure then how do you know Mello is Mihael Keehl?" I snapped.
"Because," Near stated quite blankly. "Mello and I grew up together."
***Meanwhile***
Where the hell is Matt? Its later than late and he hasn't came home yet! I thought, biting into my chocolate. It's been at least three hours since I've seen him, what gives? I sighed mentally and set my chocolate bar down. Flipping open my phone I dialed Matt's phone number and hit SEND.
Riiing
Riiing
Riiing- Hey, Matt here. I can't get to the phone right now! I'll get back to you some other time. See ya! There was silence then a small BEEP! "Matt, where the hell are you? !" I yelled into the phone. "It's been forever, and I'm fucking starving! Get ass back here!" With that, I slammed down on the end button. "Damn Matt..." I was really mad at him but part of me was worrying what happened to him. And why he didn't call me...
**Back to Matt**
BZZT! BZZT! BZZT! My phone started vibrated in my pocket. Near tipped his head to the side but didn't say anything. I looked at the Caller ID and improvised, "Oh.. Just my friend.. Calling about homework probably."
"Oh. Then why don't you answer then?" Near said, narrowing his eyes. "If its just homework there should be no problem."
Damn bastard, I thought grimly. He's knows its Mello. Luckily before I could flip open my phone it said 'ONE MISSED CALL' and Mello hung up. Sweet Zelda.. Thank you. "They hung up," I told Near plainly.
"Hm. I see. You can call them back when I'm gone. Continuing on, Mello is our next target as I have mentioned before, and once he finds out you're here I'm having him killed."
"But, if you grew up together why would you kill him? !" I yelled at Near. "That's just stupid!"
"In case you haven't noticed, he kills people-"
"Used too!"
"It doesn't matter. If you kill someone then that's a murder. Mello is also a vampire and since I am in charge of the Vampire execution plan, Mello is going to die." When I didn't speak, Near said something that really got my attention hooked. "How do you think Mello got that scar, Matt?"
I thought back for a second. That long scar that marred the right side of his face, it never really came up in our conversations. Mello never really liked talking about it. "He said he was in some accident," I answered him, avoiding eye contact and staring at the floor.
Near continued twirling some strand of hair and spoke like he barely cared. "A near death accident. I'll assume that he didn't tell you. "
"'Near' death is right," I muttered to myself then stopped myself. "Wait. Death? !"
The small boy acted like I hadn't said anything and went on. "Mello was actually our target awhile ago. He was trapped in a small building, something similar to this, and wasn't ready to end it all. One of the workers had a small amount of dynamite rigged outside the building. The plan was to blow it all up and Mello would die too so we could all continue on. But Mello must've done something so that the explosion happened before we planned it too, killing two of the workers on that job- but Mello survived. Mello wasn't seen or heard of until now. So we're focusing on him before we move onto the next set of targets in the L group."
"..." Oh my god. That's how he got that scar? He could've told me... before I knew it, my eyes were watering. "What the hell?" I mumbled softly to myself. "Near, i thought you could only kill a vampire by driving a stake through their heart..."
"You forget that Mello was once human, so he can still be killed like any old human," Near explained.
I was really silent after that so Near stood up and started heading towards the door. "Think about it Matt. Do you want to continue living like this, with people dying everyday from vampire attacks. It has to be stopped." and with that, Near shut the heavy door closed and I was alone.
Only then I broke out crying.
**Back to Mello**
"Matt?" After what seemed like forever Matt finally answered his cell phone. Thank god, I was getting worried. "Where are you? Are you okay?" My questions just kept flying out.
There was a pause on the other end then he finally answered, "I'm fine Mels... It's okay. You can't come here," he sniffed.
"What are you talking about? I'm coming to get you, Matt. Tell me where you are," I snapped without meaning too. After forcing myself to calm down, I asked him more softly, "What's going on?"
This time Matt was yelling at me, also it sounded like it was crying too. "You don't get it Mello! I don't want you to die! I'm a fucking hostage until you show up then he's going to kill you! You got scarred once, what if you don't survive this? ! Your the only family I have left and you can't die on me like this!"
"..."
"..."
"Matt... Who's 'He'?" I asked carefully.
"...Near." Matt sounded really regretful.
"..." I nearly dropped my phone. Instead a fist formed in my other hand and aimed it at the wall. That stupid kid! I thought furiously, punching the wall in front of me like there was no tomorrow. "THAT DAMN BASTARD!" I screamed loudly. My hand started hurting so I stopped before it started to bleed and make me even hungrier. I tried to control my self again and said through clenched teeth, "Matt, where are you? I'm going to kill that stupid brat."
"Mello you can't!" Matt pleaded, still crying. All the sudden a gunfire was heard in the background. There was silence from Matt until he said slowly, "Mello.. I'll call you back."
"Matt? Matt!" the dial tone rang in my ears loudly, signaling that Matt was gone. I gave a long hard look at the wall then punched it one more time. "Damn it... I'm going to kill that stupid kid, once and for all..."
