Breaking Branches (Death Note Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

Katana's POV

Ever since I called L "Dad", he's been so attached to me. He acted like I was his secret love child or something. (Where my BNHA fans out there?!)

We were walking back to headquarters after L took me out for ice cream. The rain was pouring, but I really didn't mind. I had been calling L "Dad" all day. It just came to me naturally at this point. When we got back, I went straight to bed. I felt exhausted and wanted nothing more than to sleep. I ended up regretting it almost immediately.

~Nightmare~

I was in a dark void. A spotlight was shining on L, appearing to be in pain. I tried running to him, but something prevented me from doing so. As I looked behind me, I noticed there were puppet strings tied to my wrists. Zero held them with an insane smile plastered across his face.

"BRAT."

Tug.

"LOSER."

Tug.

"GOLD DIGGER."

Tug.

Every time Zero named me off, he violently pulled the strings back, tightening them with each pull. This caused my wrists to bleed with every word he said.

"UGLY"

Tug.

"PSYCHO."

Tug.

I felt another puppet string wrap around my neck as I was raised into the air. A snap was heard from underneath me and I could hear my name being called. "Katana! Katana, wake up!"

~End Of Nightmare~

I woke up with tears streaming down my face. L was crouched beside my bed, looking pretty worried. "What happened?" he asked.

"I-It was just a nightmare..."

He sighed and hugged me as I fell asleep in his arms.
