Death Note: Note 1:
By: Fireflies and Snowflakes
Alona sighed as she grabbed ,yet, another book from the library cart- The old paint faded cart, giving a grateful squeak- she lifted the green colored book over her head and examined it. Another 654 pages of Spanish words and their meaning in English. This book was something she had already read. Just like countless other books that filled this schools library. Staring at the book she placed it with the other foreign language dictionaries.
Beep
She glanced down at her green bleached, digital watch, which was held closely to her pale and skinny wrist.
"2:08."
She stated out-loud. The library she was in echoed with her voice. A frail and lost note with in this libraries gigantic structure. She blinked , her circular shaped spectacles glaring at the light above her. Beautiful Autumn colored orbs shone behind those round, circular spectacles., giving off a snake like appearance, mixed with that of a cats. Her hair was a dirty brown, almost a dirty Strawberry blonde, it was cut short in the back, but remained long in the front. She put her index finger to her chin and stared at the shelf, everything was in order, and most students would be arriving soon. She grabbed the cart and lead it towards the front of the library, the cart squeaking as she lead it to it's resting place.
Standing at the front desk, curling a strand of her long hair, Alona sighed, her sigh quavering. No one had actually decided to visit the library today, and it bored her. It was nearing 3:00. She placed her chin on her arm, which rested on the cool wooded surface of the desk.
'Daikoku Private Academy, A school for the gifted and intelligent people. I'm currently a third year at this school and working for the library. It doesn't really pay much, but it allows enough for money and community service needed. My name is Alona Aki , the meaning of my name being Light Autumn , My parents were wise to call me this. The meaning matches the appearance of my eyes. My parents, well, they died when I was young. They were actually murdered. I've been sent to one or two orphanages, and a couple of family homes. Up until now, I've been living on my own. I can't say for sure how I entered this school. I'm not rich, and I'm hardly intelligent, maybe it's the art work I create. One day I took some finished art works to be sold and one of the Academy teachers saw my work, I was accepted with flying colors. I can't complain, it was a good thing I decided to go out that day to make ends meat. I've met quite a lot of people, but only one really catches my eyes. He's handsome, top student, and almost always comes to the Library. We've talked only once or twice, but I envy him…'
Slam
Alona jumped, her attention quickly focusing on the ruckus. A boy , about her age bent down to pick up a couple of books he had dropped near the book cart. Alona sighed, rubbed her temples and walked from behind the desk. She advanced towards the person.
When she was upon him, the boy looked up. Shaggy brown hair , with auburn colored eyes. She smiled, it was him, it was the regular.
" Would you need help with anything Yagami-san?"
The boy grimaced, picked up the books and placed them in the cart. Turning , once he had finished, towards the girl with round spectacles.
"Just came by to drop off some books, and accidentally dropped a couple, Hah-ha."
He smiled and put a hand behind his head. Alona stared the boy down, her hands going to her hips and her left foot tapping on the floor.
" My, aren't you a clumsy prodigy."
"Prodigy, Mrs. Aki?"
"Just call me Alona, anyways is there anything I can help you with today, or were you just dropping off books?"
He looked confused for a moment and then it looked like he had remembered.
" Some books on Law enforcement."
"Law enforcement, You really seem to enjoy reading up on it. Are you thinking of becoming a cop or something?"
"Well, I Don't know yet, my fathers a detective, so it might be good."
"I see."
" What about you? "
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you seem to enjoy being around books,. So are you going to become a librarian and open your own book store or library?"
"Maybe, I'd rather enjoy a library/ art gallery."
"Sounds nice."
Alona turned towards Light, her finger pointing to a direction.
"Yeah…Come on , Law enforcement should be in the Juvenile sect---"
She stopped , something weird was going off in her head. Small black flicks were starting to swarm around Light. They almost looked like those small spicks of rainbow colored dots you always tried to catch, but they always ran away and disappeared, but there was a difference between these dots and the ones that always swarmed around your eyes. These ones wouldn't go away and instead , seemed to be covering all of Alona's sight. First they had started out small speckles, circling Lights head, and now they were slowly engulfing his whole being in nothing but black. Slowly it advanced everywhere. Alona and Light were left in a room with nothing but darkness, Alona could see nothing but herself and Light. Light seemed confused.
"Mrs. Aki?"
Alona could feel her eyes burn with much pain. Her mouth started to water, almost felt like blood was starting to drip from her chin. Her lips trembled.
'It's happening again, my eyes can see it. Light Yagami, he's-he's going to-.'
"Alona!?"
She felt two firm hands on her shoulder. Her mind quickly clearing away the thought of the burning pain in her eyes. She lifted her chin, which somehow had been facing the floor. Her autumn colored eyes met up with Lights Auburn colored eyes. She blinked a few times, he had stopped it before she could see anything; she groaned mentally.
"Alona?"
"Huh, What Yagami-san?"
He looked weirdly at her.
"Are you feeling ill? Maybe you should head towards the clinic?"
"No, it's okay. Here, I was going to show you where that book was."
With that said, she walked away, Light following suite.
She searched for the juvenile section, running her eyes along many booked rows. They all looked the same to the untrained eyes, but Alona could already see which section was which. Alona walked to a row, which was covered in thick red colored books, along with small navy blue books.
"Law enforcement, right Yagami-san?"
"Yes , and go ahead and call me Light, Mrs. Aki."
"Alright, then you can call me Alona or Autumn."
"I much prefer Alona."
She smiled and gave a nod, walking over to the center where all the red books were located., she reached her arm up and plucked a first volume from the first set of red books. She walked back to the staring Light and held it out to him. He smiled and grabbed for the book. There hands touched and Alona could feel a source of electricity.
'Alona…'
An eerie voice whispered , sending nothing but Goosebumps down her spine. She froze, something standing behind Light. It wasn't human that much she could tell, and the smell, it smelled like nothing but pure death. Round yellow and red eyes glared at her. She could see it smirking, Light unaware of what was behind him.
'Alona…'
She gasped it hadn't been this hideous creature that called her name, but what? She could feel herself being pulled into those yellow depths, almost like falling into a pool, belly flat, and when she hit, it felt like all the air in her lungs had rushed out. Like she had been pushed out through thin air. She could see something playing in those eyes as she fell back.
"Alona!"
She felt herself falling backwards and could see nothing, but the ceiling and a pair of hands. Whose hands could they have been? She blinked as the pain in her eyes were excruciating, she could never remember a single time her eyes had burned so bad. What was happening, she was fine this morning, and all through her classes. Everything had somehow gone wrong , sometime during her library duty, when she spoke to Light.
Darkness
Plip
Plop
Plip
Plop
'what is that sound?'
Alona thought as she opened her eyes, only to be met with darkness and the burning sensation. Confused by the oncoming darkness she felt the urge to scream out, to cry out, but something told her to stay quiet. Reaching around she came into contact with a smooth barrier of some sort.
'it's closed…'
She could feel a cooling sensation rush through her body. Almost like falling into a cold pool.
Little Seeker, Little Seeker, Meet the Reaper, Meet the reaper,
Little Seeker, Little Seeker, Find your eyes, find your eyes,
Sleeping in your small egg, won't the little seeker come out to play?
Searching in your hearts shell, won't the little seeker come out today?
Little Seeker, Little Seeker, Meet the Reaper, Meet the reaper,
Little Seeker, Little Seeker, Find your eyes, find your eyes,
The voice which was chanting dispersed and Alona was left…alone. The sound of rushing water filled her ears.
Plip
Plop
Plip
Plop
She could feel something pricking at her back. What was it? Slowly she reached back and ran her hands along her shoulders., something soft was laying there. Reaching higher into the ceiling above her she felt around. Another barrier was located near the top. She pressed against it and could feel warmth from the outside.
'Another wall…'
She braced herself and pushed on the barrier , it gave a small crackle, she continued to press against it until finally the top broke and she finally broke through the surface. For the very first time she could feel the ache in her back, the burn in her lungs, almost like a new born child.
Awakening from her small egg, the Little seeker comes to play,
Playing through her head, the Little seeker finds her eyes.
Alona couldn't really understand the voice or the reason it kept speaking nonsense. She closed her eyes and hoped she could go back to being at the library and speaking with Light Yagami, the boy she admired and envied.
Her small hands fell against the cracked egg as her blood stained wings settled with in the crack of her back.
Light
Her eyes opened on their own accord, now she laid on her back. There were no barriers here, no walls, no chanting voices…just another unfamiliar ceiling. She sighed and placed her arm over her eyes.
"They still burn."
