Annie Pov;

I wake up once again, from a nightmare. I see dried blood along my hands like small rivers. But I'm not in my bed, I'm on the hard ground. Isolated from everyone.

" AAHHH" I scream

" Are you okay?" L asks as he wakes up

" I had another bad dream" I say

" I know. I would have woke you to keep you from screaming. I'll always be here to protect you"

" Thankyou L" I say as I shut my eyes tight

The thought of him doing that, almost killing me, then leaving me to rott, kills me inside in real life. I don't understand or know why I'm having these dreams.

" It's because you have a wild mind Annie"

I jump back onto the pillow, facing him

" I don't feel safe" I say

" You shouldn't" he replies

I lay back and just stare. Not thinking of anything, maybe this will keep him out of my head.

" Annie!" L shouts

" What?"

" You have something on your head"

" Get it off!" I shout

L looks to see what lies on my head

" Annie"

" L?"

L rushes straight out of the door. I don't know what he's up to this time, L is always unbelievable.

* * *

In the pouring rain, there he is, standing underneath a lamppost.

I walk up to him, drenched.

" L" I say

His silence speaks when his words can't. It's adorable of him.

" I understand you don't want to see me again because of what you saw. But you changed me L!" I cry

I turn around and start to walk, as L grabs my hand

" Don't go"

My eyes widen.

" Why L?"

" Because you're right. I gave you them. I turned you into this beast"

I turn back to him as the raindrops drip from the ends of his black shiny hair

" You're not a beast" I say

" Yes I am. And I can't help it"

" You may be when you look in the mirror," I say as I come closer

" But to me, that's a good thing" I manage to screech out

He stops and his eyes open and stare into mine. He's becoming more impatient by the minute. The urge to spread his incredible wings.

" Don't be afraid to show it. Only I will be able to see them anyway" I say

I pushes me back, as I can see his beautiful wings spread through the air, reaching for justice.

" I'm ashamed of it, you shouldn't feel safe" he says

L floats up into the air as he turns upside down with his face facing mine. The rain dripping down from his hair onto mine.

" I don't feel safe," I whisper

" But to me, that's a good thing" I say against his ears

L comes closer

" I don't feel safe either"

" But you protect me from myself" he says
