So, this is it the 3 year time skip, meaning SPK has been set up and Heidi has been left at the orphanage for the last 3 years btw. The picture is also what Heidi looks like now because she is 16 (nearly 17). Enjoy 😆😆😆😆😆😆
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been just under 4 years since I last saw her but I still thought about her a lot. It was strange that I actually felt guilty for leaving her alone like that 3 years ago. Which was absurd I barely knew her back then anyway. I spent a couple of hours with her playing with some if my toys. Truth was I never went back to her room because it was strange the way she made me feel. I felt as though she accepted me. The thought of anyone actually doing that scared me a little and I never went back, but now after 4 years I'm going back and asking her to come to New York with me. I wanted her to join me in solving the Kira case. There was no sign of Mellow and I have heard that Matt had gone too. They were most likely together somewhere. I knew Mellow would also be trying to solve this case. It was a perfect opportunity for him to beat me and prove that he should be the next L. I was not going to let that happen though. In the 4 years since I found out L was dead I had made it my case. I would find and bring Kira to justice and surpass L. I have set up an organisation called SPK, I set it up to solve the case without the help of L. I was also well aware that the Japanese government had a fake L, to fool people into thinking that L was still alive. Still, I wasn't sure bringing Hope in on this case was a good idea. She was just as cleaver as I was and I liked the idea of having her work with me on the case. The car I was driving in pulled up at Wammy's house. It looked just like I remembered it. Anthony stood beside me as I looked at the house were I grew up. Anthony was the second in command at SPK and it was important he came with me to get Hope.

"Are you sure this is a good idea Near?"

"Yes I believe that she will be very important for our case." I told him looking down at the rubex cube in my hand. 

Roger was waiting at the door for us. He led us inside, there was no one about which was good because I didn't really want to see any old faces. I remembered the halls and Roger led us down the hall were my bedroom used to be. Part of me wanted to go in but I told myself that was stupid. I felt weirdly small walking down those halls again, like I was still 13 years old, but I wasn't. I was 17 now and that would make Hope 16. Roger opened the door and I followed him inside with Anthony just behind me...

Her room was completely different from when I last saw it. The walls with plastered with pictures she had drawn. They were all so real, just like pictures. There were animals, landscapes and what shocked me the most was that there was a drawn portrait of me, Mellow and Matt. She had clearly missed us. On the bed was Hope. She was laid belly down reading a book with her feet up in the air. Her hair now came down to her waist and her tail seemed longer and fluffier than I remembered. She looked at us when we came in. Her eyes were something I recognised in a heart beat. They were slightly more pink than red now but they were still stunning. She got up from her bed in one swift movement, I saw her choice of clothing was still the same. I white t- shirt, black jeans and bare foot but now instead of the red ribbon she wore a thick black leather necklace.

"Hello Near." She said. Her voice was still as soothing as it was the first time I met her and I realised that it was a sound I had missed.

"Hello Hope." I said.

"I know why you are here. Roger told me everything. If you want me to come then I will, I have never been to New York but I hear that it is beautiful." She then turned and nodded at Roger. She then slipped past me and giving a slight nod to Anthony she left.

"She seems different." I said quietly more to myself than anyone else.

"Yes she has changed quiet a lot in these 4 years. Still quiet but not the same nervous girl you met back then. Plus she seems to get cleaver by the day." This information shocked me, she has got smarter. How was that possible? Then Hope appeared behind me.

"Are you coming?" She asked but did not wait for an answer as she had already left. She seemed to be acting cold towards me. I felt really quiet sad at this. She was shutting me out because of what I did to her. We all just left her without even really thinking about it. Even though we weren't great friends and didn't really know each other, if we were her first friends than it must still be upsetting to be left behind like that by everyone.
