That little white-haired, emotionless, albino, midget-freak... Ugh... I didn't think it was possible for me to hate him any more than I already had. But, of course I was wrong. And I realized this as I stared into the lifeless eyes of the boy I had been fighting not five minutes before. The bloodied face so marred that not even L could decipher the true identity of the boy a year or so younger than myself. My right fist was literally down his throat when I noticed that he'd stopped fighting back with the passion of someone with the will to live. At first thought, I assumed he'd given up. Then I realized that his breathing had completely ceased, and upon examination of his chest area, the heart gave not one pump. My fist now by my side, along with my left, both clenched in seething anger that was disappearing ever so slowly with each heavy breath that inevitably became more shallow. My icy-blue eyes, moistened with tears that seemed to have came from nowhere, were unblinking.

Any normal person would have freaked under these circumstances, right? Then why was I so...calm? My mind at this point was filled with random words, none seeming to piece together in the sentence that I needed. The one that would bring me to reality. I waited for that sentence to form as I stayed frozen in place, eyes not daring to move from my former prey. The mess of gory remains before me that looked no longer like the boy I had exchanged harsh words with earlier. The boy who had been so beautiful that it made me sick with envy. And jealousy? No. I was a lot of things, but jealous was not one of them. Then what was I? What had driven me to commit such an act? An act of... Murder.

The sentence I had been waiting for finally came together from the far depths of my mind and made its way through my mental maze and alas, I spoke them aloud. "I killed someone..." It was no more than a whisper. But nonetheless I jumped at the sound of my own voice. My widened icy eyes traveled down to my shaking fists covered in the blood of another human being. I lifted one up a bit, opening it to reveal even more of the crimson liquid that felt thick and wet against my sensitive skin. I slowly opened and closed the hand a few times, the blood making a squelching noise each time I did so and planting itself further into the crevices of my palm. After what seemed like hours, I let the object of my attention drop to my side again and refocused my eyes, once more, on the body. I found my mouth moving to form more words. "I...I did this..."

Oh God... I had caused a lot of trouble during my childhood, but never anything this intense. And why? Because of that albino freak. This was all his fault. If he would've just... If he would've just kept his little secret to himself instead of sharing it with Matt, I would've never found out. He must know that Matt tells me everything? Then why did he even open his mouth? Maybe he didn't think I would react as I did. Maybe he thought I didn't care. Well, I did care. Maybe things got a little out of hand, but... But I had done what was necessary. The deed had to be completed; if for nothing else, then for the sake of my sanity being intact.

I wiped the tears from my face and tried to clear my mind so I could think of what to do. Turn myself in? ...Not an option. I was only 14, and I was not planning to spend the rest of my life in a jail cell. And the death penalty didn't sound too fun either...

Then... What was I to do? As the thought hovered in my mind, I heard a gasp come from about five feet behind me. My head snapped in the direction of the noise. How did somebody find us? I had thought the forest would be a secluded enough place to have this 'meeting'. I guess not... I shot up like lightning, and without really thinking, I took off in the direction of where I saw a shadow disappear behind a tree.

A/N: I hope you liked it. I'm already working on a chapter two but I don't know when it will be up... In case you couldn't tell, (and if that's the case, please let me know so I can work on improving my writing skills), this was Mello's POV. And also, I know I wasn't too specific on some things in this chapter, but that was on purpose. All will be revealed in chapter two. But first, you have to review for me! :3 Thank you for reading!
