Not Just a High School Romance (LxLight)

Chapter 4

Light sat down on the bed next to me and started to tell the story,

"I was walking around campus, going to my next class and I saw a notebook on the ground. It was all black with white lettering on the front. It said 'Death Note'. I opened it, thinking it was a joke, and read the first page. A set of rules was laid out before me. The first, 'The human whose name is written in this note shall die.' I wrote it off as a joke, but took the book anyway. I went directly home and decided to test it. I thought it wouldn't work. I didn't think anyone would die, but they did and that's all that's important."

Light had killed someone?

"I was watching the news and decided to test it out on Kurou Otoharada. He killed and wounded six people before taking eight students and staff members hostage at a nursery school. He deserved to die. I wrote his name and waited. The book said forty seconds was all it took. After nothing happened I assumed it was a fake. Then everyone on the news was in a panic. The man had died of a sudden heart attack. I was in complete shock. I had killed someone. At first I thought no one should have that power. No one should control life and death, except for a god. Then I thought, 'What if I became a god?' I was going to become the god of a new world. I could rid the world of evil and stop all injustice. I am god. I am Kira and this world will obey me! You will rule by my side, but you can't rule in a hospital. I'm going to keep you here, I'm going to keep you safe. Now do you understand? I need you. I want to make a perfect world for you. Don't you want that?" I was shaking my head, "Well, even if you don't I can't stop now. I will be god and no one will stop me."

He touched my arm and I pulled away. I was terrified. Light wasn't a god. He was just a college student. He was my boyfriend. He was caring, loving, and smart. He wouldn't kill someone. I wasn't going to help him. He had become a monster. Suddenly, he stood and walked over to his backpack. He pulled out a small black notebook. My eyes widened,

"This is the notebook?"

He pulled out another paper and handed it to me.

"I need you to write these names."

I shook my head. No way in hell was I going to kill people.

He sighed,

"That's what you'll be doing while I go to school and do other things."

I shook my head again. He looked at me with a sad look in his eye,

"I hoped this wouldn't come to this, but if you won't cooperate I'll have to dispose of you and find someone else. '

Light wouldn't do that. He wouldn't kill me. Would he? A tear slipped down my cheek. I shook my head. NO! He took out a pen.

"Last chance. Do as I say or I will kill you."

He wouldn't... but what if he did? His pen touched the paper and I screamed through the gag, tears streaming from my eyes. I was desperately shaking my head. I don't want to die...

He smiled, placing the pen down on the bed,

"Good. You can get started right away."

I cried for a long time that night. I didn't know what to do, so I just wrote the names.
