Chapter 2 | the first strike

Not even a week into being at a new school, and already there was drama. And not the pretty this person broke up with that person drama. REAL drama.

When you walked into the halls still half asleep, a massive crowd had formed around a wall the whole student body chattering away at whatever was going on that you couldn't see. You weren't immune to a little gossip, so you approached the crowd trying to see what was going on, but the taller students loomed over you and your efforts to see were killed pretty much before they began. So, you floated instead. Raising yourself up to look over everyone's shoulder, you managed to get a peek at what the drama was.

And to say it was a bit surprising was an understatement.

Across the wall in massive letters, bright red to mimic blood 'expel the unclean' was scrawled right where everyone could see it. What the hell was that meant to mean? 'Unclean' could mean anything. And who would do this and why? Not to mention how? The halls were never empty, there were classes at night for nocturnal monsters so it's not like you could sneak out past lights out.

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! Back away please!" The voice of the headless headmistress boomed.

The crowd immediately parted, allowing the head mistress through. It fell silent, no one knowing how she's react. Looking up at it, she simply sighed in disappointment before turning to the crowd.

"Yes, I have been informed of this. There'll be an assembly about it in the gym later today. Go to class, this will be addressed" she said, ushering everyone away.

Slowly the chatter began again as people began to walk away to their classes, a few people still lingering to get one more look before leaving. A flash made you blink in shock for a moment, finding that right underneath where you were floating L was standing with one of the cameras from the club room. Being the head of the newspaper he'd obviously want to get to the bottom of this incident, it would be one hell of a scoop.

"Mr Lawliet, off to class please" the headmistress said.

"I know, just taking a picture for the paper. You don't happen to know when this showed up do you?" L replied.

"No ones knows exactly when it showed up but about midnight last night was when one of the night students noticed it. It could be from anywhere between 10pm to 12am it happened"

3 whole hours this hall was unattended and someone was able to paint the message, that was a long time for a 24 hour school hallway to be left empty. It must have been during physical education or something, when most of the students were outside.

"Mx (l/n) you best get to class as well" The head mistress added.

L hadn't even noticed there was a ghost right above him and when he looked up and you looked down, your dead eyes met for a moment. He clearly recognised you from hiss-tory as you sat behind him.

"I know, I just want expect this on my first week" you replied.

"Your timing is rather convenient, this has never happened before... rest assured it will be dealt with. Now off to class you two!" the head mistress said.

L put the camera in his bag, taking one last look at the graffiti as he turned to head down the hall. You took one last look as well, pondering on the meaning. Expel  the unclean... was was that even meant to mean? It was like something went off inside you that morning, the mysterious message wouldn't leave your head and you were desperate for answers. All through first and second period you couldn't stop thinking about it. All though recess you stared at the message trying to decipher it and when the assembly finally came around you were eager for answers.
