Married At Midnight (The Last Book Of The L Lawliet & Angel Saga)

Chapter 7 The Dark, And Laughing Rain Is Back

When we are far enough away from the airport he pulls over to a park that’s deserted. I jump off running to the swing set; Mello stands in front of me.

Someone is up, Mello seems sad. Really sad.

“Mello...” I gently brush my fingers across his scar. Mello loves it because it gives him chills.

He holds that hand in place across his scar.

He starts tearing up.

I gasp “Mello what’s wrong?” I stand up hugging his waist.

“Everything is ruined, your parents wedding, my plans on asking you”

I knew it.

He backs up pulling a little blue tiffany box “I was going to ask you today”

I smile “you can still ask” I sit back on the swing placing my hand out.

Mello rolls his eyes smiling “okay, if you insist” he says sarcastically getting down on one knee.

“Lay Lay” he announces with a crooked smile “would you do me-“

I laugh

“Ha-ha very funny! Not shut up I’ve been practicing in front of the mirror for years! Ask your mother!”

I snort I’m laughing so hard, but I finally catch my breath “I’m- I’m sorry I’m ruining the moment”

He rolls his eyes “Lay Lay…”

I whip away tears from laughing “yes Mello” I say trying to be serious.

“Ever since that day that you came to Wammy’s I have been in love with you” he says taking the bow off the little box opening it showing the little baby blue ring with a silver band. “And I want to spend the rest of my stupid existence with you”

Here it comes! I scream in my head

“Will you-“

Suddenly a car pulls up, two men in security outfits run up to us. One grabs me while the other grabs Mello.

“Mello!” I scream as I try to break away the man punches me in the face multiple times. My mouth bleeding, my nose feels broken. And all I can think about is Mello who is screaming my name.

After a few more dozen blows. I black out.

Lightning wakes me up as the sudden roar of thunder awakens me with a frightening outcome. I’m soaked from head to toe from the rain; watching cops would teach you that rain will wash away all the evidence of a crime scene. My whole body is sore as I try to sit up, my legs, arms, and face feel like they are on fire. I can barely see out of my left eye. I feel my face; my left eye is completely swollen. My right arm is broken, and about 4 of my toes are shattered.

I try to use my good arm to reach for my cell phone but, my effort is useless because my phone is shattered and soaked from the pouring rain.

“Mello” I groan almost crying.

Silence

I look around but no one is in sight.

Those men, they had patches on their suits with the letters ‘D.N.S’ on them.

Damn it, the Death Note Society kidnapped Mello.

I’m able to sit up but I stumble as I try to stand, I notice a tiny sparkle coming from the grass.

I pick it up clenching it in my hand. It’s the ring.

With trembling hands from the cold rain I slip the ring onto my left ring finger.

“Yes Mello” I whisper faintly “I will kill every member of the D.N.S and I WILL find you”

(Flash-back) (A year before the accident & Coma)

I stare out the window as Watari drives us to the Orphanage “how is Mello doing?” I ask.

Watari sighs “he got into trouble again for stealing chocolate and pushing another child for pulling his hair”

I pull down the edge of my Easter dress that I was forced to wear. “Sounds like the kid deserved it don’t you think Grandpa Quill?”

“When someone hits you, you tell an adult. Never hit them back unless its life threatening”

“You mean unless it calls for self-defense?”

Watari nods “exactly”

“What if I see Mello gets kidnapped?”

Watari’s face gets serious “then does what I would do if it was your father…” he pulls out a toy gun handing it to me “find the men, and kill them all” he then puts his finger to his lips as if his information should be kept secret.
