Hello, I am hoping you like this chapter, but before we start I am going to share a true story with you, the story about how I discovered Death Note! (You can skip this if you want)
So, there I was, in bed on a Friday night, on my computer, (don't judge me) looking up YouTube videos made by Smosh, and I found one that was inspired by Death Note. I watched it, and really liked it, so I watched it again. At the very side there were about 20 other videos, 19 of them being other videos made by Smosh, and one being an L's funniest moments video. After about the fifth time of watching the same video my 11 year old brother came in, claiming to be bored, and he begged me to do something with him, but I was having too much fun with this video, so I rejected him and told him to get out. I know it sounds like I am a bad sister, but I was just wanting to chill out, in my room, on a Friday night (again, don't judge me).
He was so angry that he grabbed my laptop's mouse from the table without me knowing, turned it on and randomly started to click and mess around. On my computer, the little hand was going wild, and then, it clicked on a video, and would you believe it or not, 1 out of 20 it clicked onto the L's funniest moments. My brother gave up on annoying me and went off to do something else, and I was stuck watching this, and found it quite interesting, and before I knew it, I hand finished watching the entire series.
So, I do not know about you, but I think it was fate, and I hope you can tell me how you found Death Note.
CHAPTER 8
I AM STARVING
V'S POV
I would have given anything, and I do mean anything, to describe the expression on the task force faces'. They did not know what to do when they walked into the room. Most of them were confused and surprised to see I there, but Mr Yagami and S.B were completely shocked. I just sat there, frozen, staring at them. After a few seconds of silence, I opened my mouth and took in another spoonful. I searched all the man standing at the door, and that was when I saw him, L. He had not changed much; he still had black messy hair, creased white shirt, blue jeans and no shoes. The difference between him now and the 13 year old L were only slight. He had a sharper chin, bolder shoulders, he was taller, thinner and his hair was less bushy, but otherwise, he had not changed.
He stared at me, and for a split second I saw his eyes look at the plate of cake in my hands.
"Oh, I hope you do not mind me eating this." I pulled in another spoonful. "But I really did need it; I have not eaten in a while."
"Who the hell are you?" he man with the afro demanded. I stopped eating the cake, placed in onto the table and looked up at him, smirking. The men stiffened at the sight.
"I know not my name, but I sometimes go by, Ester Hade," I said, pulling out my plain passport. "Or, Nancy Grillchi." I showed off my Japanese drivers licence. "But in this case, I suppose you could call me, V." All the men that did not already know that fact froze.
"Y-you're V?" I smiled wider at the sound of his stutter and lowered my head so my eyes were shadowed from sight, giving off a dramatic and scary affect.
"Yes."
For a very long time, they just stood there, staring at me. L manned up and made the first step onto the couch, turned around and lowered himself so his back was hunched and his knees when up against his chest. "So," he started. "You came."
"If you were as smart as they say, then you should have already known I would." He kept his face clear of all emotion as he replied.
"Yes, I did know, it took longer than I would have hoped." This convocation was taking far too long, and if there is one thing I cannot stand, it would have to be small talk.
"L, I will answer all questions you have to ask, and I will participate in the Kira investigation, but if I am to do so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could just get to the point." He lifted his hand and placed the tip of his thumb to his lips, never taking his eyes off me.
"Alright, that seems quite fare," he agreed. "I'd like to know how you go in."
"Oh, that was easy. I got to the roof of the building next to this one . . ." I flicked my hand to forward, directing to the building outside the glass window. "Then I simply walked across the power line, shutout all the light and came to your room." He was silent, eyes wide, thumb frozen at his lips. Was this what they considered shocking? If so, then they have not the slightest idea what is coming at them.
"Oh," was all he was able to breathe out. "Alright, well." He seemed to be thinking of something every carefully, and when his eyes flicked their attention onto the ceiling I decided he was thinking of a way to have me work on the case with him, but still keep me imprisoned. I saw the look in his eyes, and it was clear he had come up with an idea. He pulled out his sulphone to call someone, so I paid closer attention. "Watari, V is here."
"Oh, what is it you would like me to bring to the hotel, sir." This man, Watari, do not sound to surprise by the news, so that could only mean L had shown him the drawing and note.
"All we need are handcuffs, the chain at least one to three meters long." I sat back in my seat and smiled wider. I knew L would want me in lock down, as Matt would say, but I thought he would at least be clever about it, chaining himself to me is so predictable!
They exchanged their thanks and hung up. The other men came to sit down on the couches, making sure to put as much distance between me as possible. "So, if you do not mind, I would like to know what more it is you know about Kira and his victims' death." The man that yelled earlier spoke.
"We know he needs a face and a name―" I cut in.
"Yes, yes, I know, Mr Yagami has informed me about that, but is there nothing else?" L spoke this time.
"Well, we have a suspect; he goes by the name Light." Why does that name sound so familiar? He was one of the cops that helped with one of my past victim's case, until I took care of it. He was not really working for the police, he was just helping, gaining experience, and he was Mr Yamami's son.
"Does he also go by the name Light Yagami? Or the Chief's son? Am I close?" I asked sarcastically, leaving all men stunned, but Mr Yagami's reaction was exactly how I expected it. He became defensive and angry.
"What do you know about my son?!" he yelled, standing up from the couch. He did not frighten me, of course, in fact, if anything it humoured me, because I could not help but compare his anger to Mello's, and had to fight the urge to chuckle at the fact that a fourteen year old boy was scarier than him. "What is so funny?!"
"Oh, nothing." For a moment, Mr Yagami looked as though he were about to yell again, but L began to speak.
"How is it you were able to escape your sell?" I snickered at his question.
"Oh, that was beyond easy. I simply waited for dinner, and when the guard chained my hands together, I unlocked it with a bit of mettle I had taken out of a pen and when he was not looking I attacked him. When I was done with the other guard, I pulled on his uniform and walked out. And I must say, L, I am quite disappointed in how little excitement I felt for such an expensive prison. Do try a little harder next time." He still wears his emotionless mask, but I could see right through it, he was frustrated and annoyed.
"I will keep that in mind, next time. If you don't mind me asking, where was it you went?" I did not answer. The door unlocked than, and an older looking man walked inside. I assumed he must be Watari.
"I have what you requested, L." He held out a paper bag and L took it, never letting his eyes leave my face.
"Thank you, Watari." He reached into the bag and pulled out a long chained pair of handcuffs, and I carefully observed and the silver mettle reflecting the light in the room. It looked new, it looked strong, and it would be quite alright at keeping itself to me if it were not for the fact that I still had the mettle stuck in my teeth. "V?" L voiced, trying to break me out of my trance, and succeeded. I was not happy about that. "This is necessary," he stated.
"Yes, I am aware." He waited for me to say more, or do something, but I just continued to stare at the chain, slipping back into deep thought.
He would not be used to being freaked out; he would be much more used to being the freakiest person in the room. I wondered what his reaction would be if he discovered that was not the case when I am around. "If you're going to help us, you'll be required to wear this." He held up the cuffs higher so they were swaying in the air.
"Alright." I lifted up my left hand, ready for him to handcuff me, but he suddenly seemed unsure, and it would not take a genius to know why. "Fear not, I do not bite unless I am hungry." He looked into my eyes for one long moment before slowly standing up from his unusual position. He was going to step closer, but I decided at the last second that I would not miss an opportunity to scare him a little. "So, I suppose it is quite unfortunately for you that I happen to be starving." He froze in his tracks, staring at me again, trying to find any signs that show the fact that I am joking. I willingly gave him one by smiling wider and held out my wrist higher. Again, he hesitated, so I continued talking, not wanting to miss a chance to play a mind trick on him. "Will you tell me something, L?" I asked, almost sweetly as he flipped and locked the handcuff on his side if the cuff.
"What could I possibly tell you that you don't already know?"
"I just wanted to know why it is that they call me V. Please do tell me, the news papers will not say." He pulled my end of the handcuff up into his hands, ready to cuff me.
"Well, it started off as vampire, because you are very well known to . . . hunt, kill and drink the blood of your victims. But as soon as I came into the picture as L, they decided to have you called V, so it would be like two letters of the alphabet competing against each other." I thought through this fact and decided that though it was childish and could just have come up by a nine year old, but it did make sense, and I have always found that V suits me.
YEY! I have finished and posted the trailer, though I do not know if you would be able to find it by simply looking it up, but if it helps my YouTube username is Chelsea Ryan (fake name). Hope you can leave a comment!
