The Eyes

Secret

Annie Pov;

He's not listening to me. His mind is his ears. Listening for the worst. I'm afraid, his rusty, hard jet black gun, pointing towards my shattered and weak face. The waterfalls of tears, are going to be blood. And he won't care if I die. He has no heart, that blank space inside is filled with nothing but hatrid. I hestitated, but he isn't going to.

But before, I tried to. It worked too. I saw him beg for his guilty life. Gasping for my help. How did he know I was going to try? How has he healed so quickly? Or are his wounds inside still fatal?

" I love you Annie" he says quietly as he reaches for the trigger

I want my last words to not be meaningless

" I love you too, L-Lawliet" I say

My last words, what a drag down. I don't even get to say goodbye to my mother, Danny, Matsuoka, my friends.

It all comes down to L pulling that trigger. And I know he is intending on doing that.

I shut my eyes, ready to face my death. My journey to Hell begins now.

1,

2,

3,

4,

I hear him pull the trigger.

Now I hear nothing. It's over.
I'm finally free from the guilt.
All it took was just one bullet.

" ANNIE!" I hear someone scream my name

" Annie, I'm sorry" I can hear L

How can I hear them?

I'm mighty confused, my brain is being twisted! I feel dizzy, and fall to the harsh ground.

" ANNIE!" I hear the screaming again

Now, now I hear nothing. It's over.

-GAME OVER-

L Pov;

I didn't know it would be this hard. I didn't think she would fall like this. I don't think she realised I used a blank. She might thank me later

" ANNIE!" Light screams again

" She'll be fine in an hour" I say whilst taking Annie upstairs, throwing the key over to Light.

I feel a heartbeat, slow, but steady. She feels cold, broken. It feels like she's gone. Shes lucky I wasn't tryinh to kill her.

I walk up to the stairs and pace myself towards the spare rooms.

For guest detectives, I'm classed as one. Even if I have my own hotel. I'm 19, I think I'm getting old.

I lower Annie on to the bed, making sure she's comfortable. She must hate me right now, but I wished I wouldn't have to had done this. I knew it would have torn her appart.

I can feel her breath, I can hear her struggle to collect words.

" L-L-Lawliet?" she seems confused

" Annie" I reply

She looks like she was just in a fire. With blistering arms and hands, her face with blood tears.

" Annie I need to tell you something important" I say quietly

" Why did you try to kill me?" she takes out rage

" Light does not possess the eyes as you do. He did, but I transfered my power to him, to make sure you did have them. I took the powers back today, and I could see your shinigami, Ryuk" I explain to her

Annie's eyes widen. I know it's a lot to take in. But that's why I had to do this.

" You, have, you have the eyes" she says shocked

" The reason why I did this, making you think I was going to kill you, was because you might not have had the eyes" I say

" I'm sure you know this, but you may have given your details with a fake name, when you tried to control Near, it didn't work because you need his real name. Light tried to make it look like you two were the only ones. But secretly, he had no power at all" I say

" But I never actually used the eyes on you, because I trusted you. Then you almost killed Light, and I never hesitated to kill you. Felt a connection with Light, only because he had the eyes. That's why, but if you had told me earlier, at the party, I would have kissed you" she says as I blush but try to hide my blood

She would have kissed me that night. How interesting. If I told her my other secrets, there's no way she'd kiss me.

" Annie. You can just rest, then go home. You don't have to do anything with me anymore. It's not like you're in danger. And you probably don't want to continue investigating with me anymore" I confront her

" L. I'd be more than happy to join you! As long as no one I care about gets hurt. Where's Light now?" Annie says

Light.

" I don't mean to kill your moment. But why did my wounds just heal?" Lights asks

" L, how come yours did too?" Annie seems suspicious

" Light, you now have half of the shinigami eyes" I present

" Oh Cool!" Light says excitedly

" And, Annie, I'm different to you. Light is half of like me, to us you're normal" I explain

" What is that supposed to mean?" she asks desperately

" I can't say now okay. Let us all just sleep! It's like 3am!" I shout

" And on that note!" Light turns off the lights

There are only two spare rooms. Looks like I'm sleeping in Annie's tonight.

I put on my raggy top and just keep on the jeans. I crumble into bed to see Annie fast asleep on the other side. She looks cold as she shivers away, I gently pull the red soft and warm blanket over her, as she snuggles towards me.

All I can do is lay my head down. I'm L, I don't sleep.
