Chapter 6 | monsters
Cameras installed, monitors set up, everything was going well. The taskforce just had to wait for the families to get home.
"So the taskforce building you're having done, we can customise our rooms?" You asked.
"Yes, don't worry I've already requested a shelf for all your platforms" L replied.
"You know what else we need?"
"What?"
"Coffin shaped bed"
"... oh my god you're right"
Your conversation about decor was cut short by the sound of a door opening and closing over the cameras. When you turned to look, you found Light was home before the rest of his family.
"There's that suspect mother fucker" you mumbled to yourself.
"Shhh don't let his dad hear that" L replied.
You watched him casually walk through the house like a normal human coming home from school. Taking off his shoes, putting his bag down and heading upstairs. Everything seemed so normal. He bent down to fix the paper trap when he opened the door to his room, making his father aware of it.
"I never knew he went to such lengths to keep his room hidden" Mr Yagami said.
"He's a teenager, it's not particularly strange. Teenagers have their secrets" L replied.
Light tool off his school blazer and hung it up before flopping back onto the bed to stretch out after walking a long way home. It all seemed nothing out of the ordinary.
"Light, wanna play some video games?"
What? Who said that?
Before your very eyes, a... thing... phased though his wall. Light ignored it.
"Hey? Are you ignoring me?" It said.
It was tall, had grey skin and was seemingly body parts stitched together. Hair like punk liberty spikes, wore chains and belts, and had sharp teeth. You almost had a heart attack seeing the creature, grabbing L's arm in slight panic, you stared at the creature.
L gave you a confused look. Why wasn't he reacting to it? It was right there! Could he not see it? Light could clearly see it, he was just ignoring it. The creature talked to light like they knew each other. Apparently L could sense your panic, because he looked at you worried. He looked back at the screen where you stared in fright and then back at you. He couldn't see it.
"Salem, you ok?" He asked.
"You don't-"
You cut yourself off. You couldn't talk about this in front of the taskforce, they'd think your insane. They wouldn't believe you.
"Uh- yeah... just... freaked myself out over a shadow..." you lied.
L knew when you were lying, but he had the same idea of 'don't talk about it in front of the taskforce' and turned back to the screen.
You had no idea what to feel watching Light grab a coat and his wallet and head back out for something, the creature sprouting wings and following him trying to get attention.
What the fuck.
What the fuck did you just see? What do you do? What was that thing? Why can you see it and no one else? Part of you was panicked over the whole thing, the rest of you was morbidly intrigued. A tall punk looking monster is following the main suspect? Not only did you just witness proof of the supernatural, you witnessed the source of Lights power to kill... or maybe what gave him his power to kill?
Did you... tell L? Would he believe you?
He's your husband right? Surely he'd believe you... he wouldn't think your crazy or anything, right? He's known you since you were kids, and he'd never seen you ever exhibit any sign of hallucinating or delusions so surely he'd put two and two together and believe you weren't hallucinating. Right?
You definitely couldn't tell the taskforce, they'd think you're batshit insane. They're already kind of scared of you because of your dark interests and style, this would make it worse. They'd never trust you or L otherwise.
What. The. Fuck. Do you do?
You just witnessed... whatever that was talk directly too light. You had a lead, but one no one would believe unless they saw it. You never saw it before either, all you did was go to lights house and then you could see it?
Wait, you went to lights house...
The gears in your mind turned and dots began to connect. Ever since you went to Lights house you can suddenly see a creature... what happened at lights house that made you suddenly able to see it? Did he summon a demon? Did you walk into an enchanted room? Did you touch something? Has light hexed you?
Light room... he was hiding something in there.
"Salem" L said.
You snapped from your daze, finding you'd zoned out for a good 30 minutes and Light was back already. And just as you saw before along with Light was the thing.
"I can't eat apples? This is the worst day of my eternal life" the thing said in its raspy voice.
Light ignored it and instead took something out of the bag he'd come back with. He'd gone to the shops apparently. At first you couldn't make out what it was, it seemed to be a book. But when he sat down and opened it you managed to get a clear view.
"I can't believe my son is looking at those types of magazines..." Mr Yagami said.
He's a horny teenager what do you expect?
"It's not unusual for a 17 year old boy... I did strange things at his age..." L replied.
You snickered at L's response, and when he realised what he'd indirectly admitted to you saw him cringe at his own stupid words. Way to admit you've looked at titty mags as a teen L. He gave you a playful death glare for laughing, but you just have him a 'well done, idiot' look in return.
Looking back at the screen you hoped and preyed Light didn't do anything else with those magazines...
The creature on the other hand seemed to be looking for something, sticking his head through walls and crawling around on the roof in some kind of gravity defying act. The more you looked at it, the more curious you got. After the initial fright of seeing a literal monster demon thing, the dark intrigue of yours took over.
A lightbulb went off over your head, realising what it was doing. It was finding the cameras and telling light... so it was in on the Kira thing. This just completely proved Light was Kira and had some... thing... on his side. But again, who would believe that without seeing it for themselves.
Surely... L would believe you right?
