A/N: Hello everyone! Welcome to my first Fanfiction. I'm going to be a good little writer and only write one story at a time, so you can all feast your eyes in enjoyment and expect weekly updates.
-Oh gross, reading that over I'm cringing at how boring I already sound! It's like grandma when she starts talking about her past, she joins in and you can only internally sob and hope it ends soon.
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note; if I had I would have included L in a ridiculous bear outfit for 'undercover' purposes.
-Cough- I mean. Oh dem feeeeeels.
Chapter One:
I was running that much was for certain. Running from what though? My thoughts spun around as I gripped at what seemed to be chains trying to drag me back. I couldn't fathom what was going on and it's not like I truly cared at the moment.
"Was this lucid dreaming?" I thought bitterly. No it couldn't be for the mere fact I wasn't having an outer body experience as some say, then again however they did say if you can determine you were dreaming inside a dream it counts, right? Oh lord this was making my head hurt.
Run.
That was all I could hear inside my brain right now, repeatedly, shrieking at me to keep going even when I felt like falling to sob and scream at the gravel below me. Pity overwhelmed my stomach as the desire to heave up anything that resided inside me grew.
I had to get out! Warning bells echoed around me in taunting chimes. The mental image of children surrounding a small boy clouded my vision. They circled him as they continued laughing, shrieking, mocking him.
A firm ringing in my ears brought me to my sanity again, my vision coming back. "What the hell was that?" I mentally screamed, confused of the situation enough as it is. I quickly dashed down to what seemed to be a dark ally.
"Ew, how cliché is this? Seriously… can my brain not think of anything better? I could of dream of dancing hippos or a giant walrus. Nope. Instead, Imah die."
I was nearing the end I was certain, my vision kept blurring and my mind kept fogging up when all of a sudden I felt like I was being jolted, my body shook and trembled when all of a sudden-
I woke up.
"Ugh…" Was all I mumbled as I rubbed the sleep from my vision, "I really have to stop watching horror movies before bed."
I climbed out of bed, my mind trying to remember the nightmare I just had and wobbled my way to the washroom attached to my room. I quickly grabbed my tooth brush and looked through my hamper.
"Now, let's see… what did I wear the other day no one important seen me in?" I hummed to myself while going through the dirty clothes.
My family wasn't all too great in the financial department and often spent every day working their bums off to support me too. My mother had died when I was really young so it only left my father and my older brother to help pay the bills, loans, payments- all that grown up stuff I don't have to worry about for another couple of years when I decide to go out on my own.
I brushed my teeth and messily dressed in some skinnies and an oversized sweater, brushing down my brown hair. I was nothing special, nothing radiant like in those fanfictions where all the girls seem to be freaking gorgeous. I mean who would even want to be so perfect in the first place?
"Oh god, I do." I whimpered while looking in the mirror putting on my makeup cursing how damn generic I was.
I mean think about it, every story is the same. The pretty girl attracts the male of her dreams, they are socially awkward at first but soon develop in their 'cute' moments later on. Check.
Once the relationship picks up and it's so obvious to the reader, the characters then must go through denial. Check.
Once the reader finally is able to fist pump at their amazing revelation of their mutual attraction to one another… they kiss.
They, kiss.
Well hot damn, grab me some lube and let's get at it. They kissed.
Jesus, if it took me a hundred, long chapters to even say a simple: "Let's go on a date!" which might I add- no one seems to do anymore because it's so mainstream. I would hope some epic coitus is at the end of it.
Yes, I did just say 'Coitus', problem?
I huffed, wishing my life was a manga but realised that day would never come. I walked out of the bathroom and stomped down the stairs grumbling. "I'm awake!" I shouted, waiting for someone to reply to me like every mornings routine. "Seriously, it's like Death Note… day in and day out. The same thing every day- Oh, Pancakes!"
Smiling I waddled over to the stove and stood on my tippy toes due to lack of height and reached for a plate located in the cabinet above.
"Heheehee, caaabinet… such a funny word…"
I turned to set my plate down and saw one of my Death Note volumes lying smack dab in front of me on the table.
"Huh, I don't remember putting you here…" I muttered picking it up.
It was volume 2, the one where L comes in, I held it, flipping through the pages as the wafting scent of 'book' drifted towards me.
"Oh L... The one time you decided to be a fail whale and you die." I sighed, humming under my breath as overwhelming pity surrounded and tugged at my heart strings. "However your derpy little copy Near should of rolled down a hill back to the sheep farm!" I shrieked throwing the book down and huffed. "WHERE IS EVERYONE DAMN IT." I stormed out of the kitchen and silence fell. Worry starting to now take its toll. "Hello…?" I squeaked out before I walked into the living room quiet as a mouse.
I turned thinking I had heard footsteps and smiled seeing it was just Derpy my Scottish fold kitten below my feet purring away. "Little ass, thought you were some serial rapist." I mumbled reaching to pick him up before a picture frame fell off the fireplace slamming against the hardwood making Derpy hiss and run off.
"What in the…" I sighed exhausted, walking over picking it up and freezing, nostalgia coursing through my veins as I gazed down to the happy smile my mother bared back at me. "Oh." Was all I could manage as I sat on the chair feeling dizzy, "I wish you were here, mom." I paused, smirking sadly. "No, I don't even wish I was here, I wish I was somewhere I could be myself and better the people around me and make change." My eyes became droopy as I curled up on the sofa and leaned my head on the armrest, watching my mother's smiling face stare back like it did all of those years before everything turned to shit, I gave into the odd urge to sleep.
Hours went by, and white light filled my vision, blinking away the blinding sight and groaned sitting up holding my head, my body was drenched and I was… on pavement?
"Whoa, how could this happen?" I questioned aloud, seeing busy people walk up and down the sidewalks. "What the-" I was cut off with someone rudely bumping into me, I was about to turn around and yell at them but I noticed they were gone. I blinked before walking aimlessly.
"Wait, isn't there… a rule or something? When you are lost stay in one place? Or does that only apply to the whole 'forest' rule?" I thought, dragging my feet in the scorching humid air as cold rain pecked at my skin refreshing it. With every step I took I became to panic a little bit more. My home didn't look like this, so where was I? I was sleeping earlier I thought. I looked up only to observe the people seeing as they were all Asian my eyes widened more, my breath being kicked out of my lungs, freezing.
I know this place.
Tokyo.
Japan.
Asians- Oh my god hello kitt- no focus!
Gulping, I smoothed down my hair. Followed the rules my father once told me. "When in doubt pretend like you know what you are doing!" I shouted fist pumping the air, only to get confused stares by old people most likely wondering who the crazy foreign lady was talking about in fluent English.
Or was it English? I can understand everyone here, so maybe I am just fluent in Japanese?
"My god I'm a wizard!" I internally squealed, walking with my head held high and hips swaying in most likely the complete wrong direction, but who cared at the moment- right?
That's before I looked up after hearing gasps. "Oh! Silly peasants I know. A lost stupid foreigner, isn't it amazing? Please hold onto your pictures and panties, I am simply an everyday person like the rest of y-" I was cut off realising the glares meant they were not talking about me, but the screen above.
I slowly looked up, my brown eyes widening seeing a familiar 'L' I knew all too well. My mouth slowly falling open and only one thought came to my mind.
"Mom, what the fuck did you do!?"
End of Chapter One
A/N: Done! I know there might be mistakes and I am clearly aware of it. I do not have a beta and I wish to better myself as time moves on. I welcome constructive, mature critics. Keep in mind though I'm soft hearted and I take things far too personally.
*Breathes* enough of that sappy shit. I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of 'Generic' and it was enticing enough to keep reading. Trust me; first chapters are always the hardest. I am trying to ignore the plot bunnies telling me to go in and fix this a million times to better it.
(Even then it still wouldn't be up to par with me.)
Thank you all for reading and please review.
