5. L's Backstory

Skyla is messing around on her laptop, occasionally searching up on L, but usually just messing about searching up on games, because she's waiting for L's move

Hmm... if the murderer was the most normal looking girl then I have to keep my eye out for anyone who looks like her, but what about the purple haired guy? He had wings and purple hair. You don't see that every day. The girl with the red eyes was doing a bad job covering up, I could tell. The normal girl was definitely wearing eye contacts, they were a millisecond to slow to move with her eyes, so the girls were most likely wearing disguises. Also, I could easily see the normal girl's wig net from where I was sitting behind her. I thought that I could have a break for a little while, but I guess not. I will be tracking every person in that area. L was thinking on the case of the cafe murder.The next morning...

L, in a disguise as an electrician, rings the doorbell to Maou's apartment.

Skyla mumbles something to herself. - "Huh..? Who's that..? Everyone else would just barge in..."

She gets up and gives Lucifer a look that basically was telling him to hide in his box fort or something.

When Lucifer is hidden, she walks over to the door, and opens it, forgetting her whole situation with the red eyes and the being a murderer thing...

"Hi.." She mumbles, stood kinda slouched and bored from sitting in front of her laptop every day.

"Hello, I'm the electrician. I'm here to check your meter?"

Red eyes, just like the murderer's accomplice. Do they live in separate houses or not?

"Well.. I don't know if Ashiya said anything about a meter and an electrician.. but sure, come in.."

She walks more into the apartment, just standing about because it would feel awkward to sit back on her cushion/blanket pile, when someone else she doesn't know is here.

"Ah yes, I spoke to Ashiya. He was interested in the meter. Do you know if you have a fuse box? The meter is usually there."

"Right.. um... Well... I think it's there..." Skyla pointed over towards the fuse box area, not really being sure with it's location. "But I'm not so sure, I haven't really lived here for long..."

"Thank you."
L goes to the fuse box and switches some wires, connecting them to cameras disguised as nuts and bolts. He put the nuts and bolts in realistic places, balancing them dangerously on others. He pretends to check the meter, says thank you to Skyla and leaves, before ducking down behind the washing machine.

Skyla looks over to Lucifer's hiding place and sat down in her pillow pile.

"Ay, Lucifer, ya can come back out now." Skyla muttered to the purple haired fallen angel.

"Now to hijack them." L mumbles to himself, outside Maou's apartment and hidden beside the washing machine.
He brings out a little computer, connects it to the computers and they scatter through the pipes connecting the fuse box connecting the lights in each room.
"Oh yeah... Now to spy on them."

Lucifer climbs back out of his box fort, and L is shocked to see that he is the purple haired winged guy that flew the girls out of the cafe.
"Could it be them?"

"Did Ashiya even say anything about an electrician, or do I just not listen to him? Eh... it just felt a little suspicious..." Skyla mumbled. She never really listened to Ashiya, really.

"He never said anything about an electrician... I have a bad feeling about this..." Lucifer confirms.
Alura has been sleeping through this the whole time and turns over onto her left side, her thumb on her bottom lip.

"Me too..."

Skyla had a moment of consideration before realizing one massive problem.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT... I might be thinking a little too hard about this but what about if he wasn't really an electrician, maybe he's a spy planting cameras or maybe even L himself, just disguised as an electrician..? That means L would by now be watching us and listening in to our conversations, he'll know about you and he'll know I have the red eyes! Damn it!"

Alura shoots up from where she lay.
"Woah, what's happening? Why the shouting? What?"

(SkylaTDS: For some reason I thought that message said: Alura shoots stars up from where the sky. "Woah, what's happening? Why the stars? Why?"
(I legit thought that when I first read it and I was like: The hell?)

"I think I lost that first move... Alura, some electrician guy came in and neither Maou or Ashiya mentioned ANYTHING about that... And the electrician said he spoke to Ashiya, so why didn't Ashiya say about it if were the only ones in for the day? It's not that I just didn't listen to Ashiya or anything, Lucifer just said that no one mentioned it! So, he could be a spy, or even L himself, come to plant cameras and wiretaps! Which means he knows about Lucifer and he knows about my eyes!"

"Did he notice me?" Alura asks.
Outside, L chuckles to himself.
"Well, these are definitely the ones I am looking for..."

Skyla starts shutting her laptop off and curls up under all the blankets and cushions in her cushion corner, she's barely visible because of all the pillows and blankets.

"I don't think so... but if he's L himself, he probably did... being the worlds greatest detective, and all? Anyway... I might sleep... I need to shake off my failure somehow... and I'm also pretty tired... wake me up if something happens..."

She starts to sleep, to 'shake off' her failure.

L takes off his disguise and rings on the doorbell. Lucifer answers it, with Alura trailing behind him.
"Hello, I am on the police force. Please come with me."

"Damn... We're screwed..." Alura mumbled.

Skyla wakes up a little bit from the doorbell, as it was easier to wake her up with noise because she had only just started to sleep, and sits up when she hears L speak.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT REALLY? SO I WAS RIGHT! I DID FAIL! AHH... now I'm upset and disappointed and mad all at the same time... I guess I have to come too?.."
She gets up and stands behind Lucifer, staring at L with something quite close to immense hate, because she, Alura and Lucifer were discovered.

"Oh please, girl, do not hate me. I am justice."

"Oh you're justice now? Why'd you sneak behind our backs?" Alura muttered.

Skyla crosses her arms over her chest.
"Justice doesn't sneak into people's houses as an electrician and plant cameras. For hell's sake, girls live here, and your a boy! For all we know your some weird pervert-y stalker who's lying about being L just so we'll come with you!"

"Why would I lie about being L? Surely I would be smarter than to lie, as liars are always found out."

"Because some people are dumb. I was able to manipulate criminals in my past! And hell, I was like, five years old! I was one of the best detectives, better than my parents even! I lied to them, told them I would work with them on their crimes if they came to something like a shady meeting. There and then I arrested them, it was easy, and none of them ever took a second glance at my words!"

"Impressive, but seeing as you haven't broken me yet with your honeyed words, I do believe that you will trust me - in the end."

"Hmph."
Skyla looks down and glares at the floor, giving up with the arguing.

"... Maybe. I'm not one to trust people who spied on me." Lucifer said.

Skyla looks up again and stares at L.
"Wait, do the cameras mean you heard everything I yelled about just then?"

"Yes, so it may seem."

"So, there's no point in pretending to be innocent? I mean, hearing me rant about getting caught, nothing I say is gonna help our situation?"

"No point at all."

"Great. Amazing. Life is the best thing that ever happened to me. Sorry, Lucifer, Alura, I was stupid. I should listen to Ashiya in the future, maybe... The whole electrician thing did seem a bit fishy, I just wasn't sure if Ashiya said anything about it... heh.... So, what's gonna happen to us now? Are we gonna go to prison or something?"

"No, I want you to come with me. I will personally interview you, starting with the boy and finishing with the red eyed girl."

"How will you interview us? By magic?" Alura sneered.

"No, by hypnotism."

"We're dead."

"Not literally, I hope."

"Haha. Very funny." Alura mumbled sarcastically.

"We have names...." Skyla muttered, sighing afterwards. "Well, we might as well go, what's the worst that could happen? I mean, like, yeah, we could be executed or sent to prison or something, but being on the run, I don't think we could manage that, what with L being the 'greatest detective ever' and having the whole police force to help..."

"No, you couldn't." L confirmed.

They were all now at the station, L currently interviewing Lucifer.

"What is your name?" L asked.

"Lucifer." Lucifer answered mechanically.

"Why did you help with the murder?"

"Because I like Alura too much."

"I see. So did you plan on tracking this.. Alura's dad?"

"Yes."

"But Alura murdered him before you had the chance. Is this right?"

"Yes."

"What happened after you went home?"

"Alura got angry at Maou, our flatmate, and Skyla got her memories back. The girls discovered they were both magic and from Ente Isla."

"Ente Isla?"

"A magic island not on the map."

"Thank you, Lucifer. You are not needed any more." Lucifer leaves, and L checks his notes.

Skyla hangs around, waiting to be interviewed wherever they've been told to wait, thinking about how Maou and Ashiya would take this whole situation, if they would be mad at them or something, or maybe worried that they had all just disappeared.

"Next!" L shouts, as Alura walks in.

"What is your name, girl?"

"Alura."

"Why did you murder your dad?"

"He was abusive and I eventually snapped."

"Did you want to do this before the events?"

"No."

"What happened that made you... 'snap'?"

"He sent an abusive text."

"Did you tell the proper authorities that you were being abused?"

"No, I was too scared to."

"Thank you, Alura. You may go now." Alura walks out.

"Next!"

Skyla walks in. "Ya know, yelling next makes you sound like a cashier waiting for the next customer."

"Do not be rude, girl. It will get you nowhere. Now, what is your name?"

"Skyla." She doesn't make a comeback on what he said, kind of just ignoring it and not having anything to say back at the same time.

"Why did you go along with Alura's plan, Skyla?"

"Because she's my best friend and it isn't right for a father to kill his daughter if she didn't come home. I don't know if Alura told you, but the text he sent her was about tracking her down and murdering her if she didn't come home. It wasn't really like he was worried, though, it was full on a death threat. I already lost my father, a couple of years ago, I lost half of my memories, my mother lives all the way in the city, I'm not losing Alura because of her dad."

"I... I'm sorry."
"It's f-fine."
She tried to stay calm but her voice broke just a little bit.

"I can tell it's not. Tell me what's wrong... Please?" L tries to calm Skyla down, but it is not working. She hesitantly tells L the whole story.

"I... I feel bad saying this, but.. I can't really trust anyone, or love anyone. Anyone I end up trusting, or loving, something bad'll always happen to them... It hurts, it's lonely... I miss my dad..."

"Well... I haven't told anyone this but... My dad, he used to hit me, everyday. It really upset and scared my mum, so she started drinking a lot, and she started hitting me too. Sometimes, they'd gang up on me, and I would hate when that happened, as I would usually end up with a broken nose afterwards... Anyway, I decided to take martial arts classes, and as I got stronger and better, my parents went down the abuse spiral even more. When I was a black belt in kung fu, I decided to stand up to them. So we were out on the streets, and my parents had been drinking. When we exited the restaurant, they started beating me up again, so I decided to use some kung fu on them. It was a gruesome, bloody fight, but in the end I won... and there was a consequence. I had to kill them to stop them from killing me. I instantly regretted it, and blamed myself. I ran away from the scene, and the fight was all over the news. They didn't know who had done the killing though... I decided to join the police force and pretend to find out who it was, and blame it on someone else. I was 13 at the time. To this day, no one has ever known it was me... Until now. I couldn't trust anyone enough to tell them this, but after I heard how much you care about Alura... I had to tell you. I blame myself, even now, and I miss my parents, before they started hitting me. Sometimes I wish things would go back to then, one small, happy family..." L looks down, his charcoal eyes swimming with tears.

"I t-think that too... I-If my dad was still alive... Everyone in my family w-would be happier..."

She pauses.

"I-It'll be alright for us both, t-though, w-w-won't it..? We'll b-be o-okay..."

L's tears start trekking down his face, but he doesn't care. He looks up. "Yes, if we work hard enough."

(Skyla's Note: Just take in mind, L's backstory isn't his real one, Alura just made one up for the sake of the story/roleplay. I'm pretty happy I got this done, I've caught up on my end of the editing, heh. Alura's been doing quite a bit of the editing for us, recently, so, yep. I did it this time. And sorry if any chapters come really late, you'll need to know how boring it gets to add: Alura said, Skyla muttered, Lucifer yelled, L confirmed, ect, to a story. Pretty time consuming. But, I hope you enjoyed!)
