Chapter seven:
No one's P.O.V.
Light is the first to awaken and he looks outside the cave to the snowy world outside.
The storm of snow may be over but it still is quite cold outside with it probably still slowly dropping.
He gets up and moves outside careful not to awaken anyone and he looks around blinking as his eyes adjust to the sun. He notices all footprints except the ones he just made are gone making him groan a little. "I guess that we'll just have to rely on what we remember to find him." He says to himself looking up the mountain to where he remembered the storm being worse.
"Light?" He hears Watari's voice behind him making him look over his shoulder to the older man.
"Mourning." Light greets. "We'll have to go by memory from now on. Maybe be hopeful that someone is up here and can help us find him." He informs the other.
Watari glances around and nods with a small sigh. "Yeah it seems so."
Light and Watari begin talking about ways to get up the mountain from what they can see.
Meanwhile inside the cave Soichiro wakes and looks outside the cave.
He looks to Mogi who gets up not far from him almost waking Matsuda who is almost beside Mogi. "If anything bad happens I'll call in reinforcements. There's no way we can let him stay out of our reach. Even if we have to make sure nothing bad ever happens again by keeping him locked away. I will not get lazy on my job no matter who it is." He says making sure to not let Light or Watari hear his words but let's Mogi hear them.
"If it comes down to it and we have to I won't argue." Mogi agrees looking to Light and Watari. "He is very powerful and we'll have to make sure Watari and Light won't stop us from doing what we have to do. Though with the reinforcements it'll be easier to get him into a form of custody without having to worry about them. I know L may not hurt others but with his power roaming on his own who knows what could happen."
Soichiro nods and knows the rest of the team will more than likely agree with him. "We'll help the reinforcements get him after making sure Watari and Light won't be in the way. His power is not something we can just put our faith into as something he will not use to hurt someone. It's powerful enough to cause it to snow so much so that makes him dangerous."
Light glances back making Soichiro and Mogi finish their conversation at that. "Ah it seems we won't have to wake you two." He says. "How about helping wake the others so we can get moving?" He walks back inside the cave with Watari waiting outside.
"Let me help you." Mogi joins Light.
Soichiro walks out to Watari. "Which way are we headed? Do you know?" He glances to up about where the worst of the storm is.
Watari looks to Soichiro for a moment then looks up to higher on the mountain. "We will be heading in the direction we were heading in before. There will be some sort of sign of where to most likely go so we'll have to rely on that." He informs the other.
The others come out a little sleepily.
Light looks up the mountain as the others around him quickly converse about direction. He spots a small gleam about where the worst of the storm seemed to be hovering over. He blinks and turns to tell the others but they are getting ready to go.
"Come on Light go ahead and get ready." Soichiro kindly tells his son.
Light gives one last glance to where he saw the gleam then turns away to get ready. 'I'll make sure we go the right way.' He thinks to himself.
Once everyone was ready they continue their climb up.
The temperature is sure cold and they know that the city is also getting hit by cold that comes with snow.
'I wonder if his real personality is as cold as his powers.' Soichiro thinks to himself. 'There's no guarantee that he won't hurt anyone with his powers.'
The team continue to climb sometimes with Watari and Light discussing which way to go until they pause for a moment to look at ways to go since it's pretty much a flat open surface. The team and Watari are facing Light while they huddle to talk about directions.
Light looks past them to something behind them but they don't notice.
"Ok well we know that the storm was worse to around the upper part of the mountain. Which we seem to be standing on." Ide says.
"Yes. We just need to figure out if we need to climb anymore." Watari agrees.
"Well I am going to guess we should go the path behind you guys." Light says pointing to something behind them.
The team and Watari look to Light then turn around to look.
There is a beautiful ice that's like crystal stair case. The railings are almost like something someone rich would have and at the end of the railings swirls that make the ends of the railings. The stairs are curved so though they were going up they curve so it reaches the other side of the hole.
Seen past the stair case on the other side of the hole is a small castle, made out of ice that's like crystal, made for one but big enough to comfortably live in with extra space though it is a little big for one person… well he was prepared to live on his own without anyone at all…
"Oh. Yeah that would be a logical way to go." Matsuda rubs the back of his head.
They go to the stairs and cross the hole using them.
Matsuda glances down past the railing to the drop below. "That's a long way down." He then continues on his way with the others.
They arrive to the other side of the hole finding themselves with the small castle in front of them like standing in a somewhat small front entrance.
"Wow." Matsuda gasps tilting his head back to look to the indescribable beautiful design of the castle.
"Well let's try the front door." Aizawa walks towards the slightly big double doors that make the front entrance. He finds the door handles quickly then tries opening the doors finding it opening like he wants. "It's open." He confirms.
L hears the door's opening and Aizawa saying that the doors are open. He takes a few steps back from his place on the main floor then moves to what is the best hiding place behind a coelom of ice for now. 'They're not supposed to be here. Their supposed to stay safe away from me.' He takes a deep breath as quiet as he can quickly trying to think of ways to keep them away to keep them safe from him. He hears them entering looking for him.
"Let me talk to him." Light tells them. "Ok?"
"I guess we can try with you talking to him." Soichiro agrees. "As long as he doesn't hurt you."
L looks down. 'No. I don't want to hurt anyone. Please just go!' He sternly tells them in his head. He raises his head snapping out of his thoughts as he hears footsteps moving closer to his hiding spot. 'Oh no.'
