Scarlet Crimson [Light x Reincarnated OC]

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

The lights flashed directly in front of me as I awoke, squeaking out a small 'eep' before trying to wiggle myself to feel more comfortable in the darkroom. I closed my eyes after feeling the burn of the glare directly in front of me. I was tied to a big board that L used on Misa in the anime.

Black straps bounded my body and left it vulnerable for anyone to observe my disordered and pathetic state I was in. The marks of my drool turned fishy and white on my cheeks as I raised my head up to see no one but the light. My breath was heavily odored, smelling like yellow piss with the stench that radiated from dehydration.

It was not pretty at all.

If I knew how to torture people by inflicting pain and emotional damage, L knew how to claw out the deepest emotions from human beings. Shame and need.

He was starving me as a way to place me on the brink of death.

He was giving me only small amounts of water, just enough to keep my throat working but not enough to stabilize the fluids in my body.

His method of interrogation was brutal and it reminded me of my parents.

Just enough to scrape by and live, but always craving for more.

I wanted water.

I have never wanted water so badly in my life.

I breathed out two chuckles before coughing into a fit, feeling none of my saliva even existing in my lungs. This was a very bad situation.

Not to mention the heat from the light was also seeping out all the liquids from my body, forcing me to submit weakly.

And it had only been 2 days.

I couldn't take it anymore.

How the hell did Misa pull through?

Well, to be honest, Misa probably was given more bare essentials than I had, since at that time L was being supervised by the police and had all the time in the world.

He didn't have that luxury with me.

I knew that he was rushing, but the rushing made him more brutal than ever.

Well, at least if I actually make it out alive I could brag to my friends that I survived L's most brutal torture methods.

"Do you feel like speaking, Sayu?"

I heard L's cold voice broadcast out across the whole room as I winced from the piercing loudness of his tone. I opened my mouth to answer, knowing that my own voice did not sound like my own voice.

"I've already..." I croaked out before being shocked by my own squawk. I cleared my throat and clamped my mouth shut to taste the iron flavour drawing out the bitterness.

"I've already told you," I gasped before coughing again, this time jerking my head from the pain that threw up from my lungs. "-Everything."

I heard the door slide open as the footsteps of someone echoed the room.

A blonde female yanked my chin towards her and held up a glass of water in which I desperately ingested with my cracked lips that had broken splits and stung like hell when the water touched. Before I could even finish the full glass, the woman wretched it away from my lips, showing me the other undrunken half.

I lurched at the glass, cranking my neck like some kind of homeless hobo who had nothing but that glass of water in their eyes. It disgusted me.

"Speak and you will get the other half."
