Chapter 29 | strike
You were practically staring at the clock, watching its hands tick by waiting for the time to come. And as soon as it hit 8 o'clock and the dinner announcement played over the PA system you were immediately to your feet and off to the club room to meet up with everyone. As you headed down the halls, you walked past Misa who just gave you a nod as you passed each other.
It was time, time to put and end to this whole mess once and for all.
Slipping out of the hall and into the clubroom, the rest of the group soon followed. No one was wasting time here, it was a whole life on the line tonight. In the time it took for everyone to meet head from their dorms down the hall and into the club room, a good 5 minutes had passed and by now everyone would be starting to get their food.
"Alright, everyone ready?" You asked.
"Ready. Time check?" L replied.
Matt looked at his phone clock, checking the time.
"We got five minutes before they get into position" he said.
"Got the camera?" Mello double checked.
"Got it, fresh SD card and everything"
Matt took the camera from his bag, turning it on and holding his finger over the record button ready to go at any moment.
"Deuce you ready?" L asked.
"You bet. Took the safety chain off my glasses and everything" he replied.
"Alright, it's time. He's not getting another drop of blood from anyone anymore..."
You waited a few more minutes watching as the hallways emptied and everyone was off in the mess hall for dinner. The coast was clear and you slipped out of the club room and down to the staircase where you saw Misa keeping watch in her position. The two of you exchanged glances and silently she let you past, in on the plan herself. Quietly you and the group crept down the stairs and hid behind the railing, high enough you were out of sight to those below but you could still see what was happening below you.
Matt began to record, pointing the camera down through the slight gaps in the railing and toward the spot just under the stairs by the exit doors. Everyone kept dead silent, listening for movement. You checked the time, 8:15. Dinner would have well and truly started by now. In the distance you could hear footsteps and a slight wheezing breath. Lights plan was to get the vampire girl out of the hall alone by sneaking some garlic into her food so she'd have a slight reaction and leave to the nurse, and from the wheezing breath it seems to have worked.
You watched as the younger student rounded the corner and from just behind the staircase at the bottom Light peeked out. Almost time...
She'd have to walk past the staircase to get to the nurse, and that's when Light would strike. Jumping out and grabbing her to drag her out that side door and into the woods. In the one small blind spot in the camera system. He'd really thought this out, you'd give him that. But he failed to think about the fact someone in his group could turn on him, and he'd be fucked. He was so overconfident in his manipulative ways he failed to realise that his own girlfriend was starting to resent him.
It was all thanks to Misa you could do this.
"Ok, get ready" you whispered.
Deuce put took hold of his glasses, ready to pull them off the second it was time. He kept his eyes locked on Light, following his every small movement in his hiding spot.
As the young vampire got closer, she went to turn the corner and just as her back was turned Light pounced into action.
"NOW!" L announced.
Just as Light grabbed her, Deuce ripped off his glasses and the effect was immediate. The petrifying beam hit Light in the back and he froze in place turning to stone. The feeling of being grabbed from behind made Anna scream, but she was able to immediately pull herself from Light's grip thanks to him being frozen in place.
She turned around, looking up at the attacker confused.
"Alright go! Matt record him, Mello and Near make sure she's ok!" L said, getting up from his hiding spot.
Jumping into action, you all split up to your next tasks in the plan. Things were going well. You and L dashed past the scene to get to the mess hall and tell a teacher. The scream alerted the rest of the group, but Misa wasn't about to get caught so she left back to her dorm as if she was never there, and Takada at the other end of the hall had the same idea. But who stayed? Mikami.
As you and L rushed to get staff, the surprisingly fast zombie that drooled over Light cut you off from his spot in the hall.
"HOLD IT!" He exclaimed, looking over your shoulders down the hall at the sight of Light frozen mid attack.
"It's over loser, move or we'll make you!" You said.
"What have you done to him?! You'll pay for that!"
"Oh relax, it'll wear off... eventually. Now MOVE!"
L rolled his eyes, there was no time for a standoff against one obsessed simp for a killer.
"We don't have time for this- come on (y/n)" L said, grabbing your hand and pulling you along.
He pushed Mikami aside and tried to rush off with you, but you felt Mikami grab the back of your shirt collar and pull at it. You choked for a moment at the tug, and swatted at his arm trying to get him off.
"Hey! let go you freak!" You snapped.
"Let them go Mikami, it's over. You're not getting out of this" L replied, baring his fangs at the zombie.
Mikami gave L an evil glare, pulling on your collar again to force you out of L's grip.
"If you want to try and take my lord away from me, I'll take yours away from you" he sneered.
Before you or L could even react, you felt something suddenly burn your arm and you let out a pained yelp. You saw your arm smoke, and you immediately knew what just happened. Mikami had the holy water.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" L snapped, instantly lunging for the vile of holy water Mikami gripped.
He quickly held it out if L's reach and tipped it out, the water landing on your head and dripping down for face. You screamed in agony, feeling the burn as it dripped down your body and steamed your ghostly skin.
"GET OFF THEM YOU DERANGED FUCK!" L snapped, trying to pry his hands off you.
"ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE LITTLE EXORCISM, AND YOUR GOD IS GONE!" Mikami snapped back.
God? Clearly this guy had a warped view of love if he thought affection was the same as worshipping someone. He was doing all of this in defence of Light, the person he thought of as a god all because of a warped view of affection. The burn of the holy water was making you tear up, you gripped the skin on your face in pain and couldn't help but keep crying out at the sheer pain of it all. It was like being on fire, or struck by lighting, this burning sting that ran through every part of your body that was wet with it.
"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON HERE?!"
Even in the pain, you felt relief hearing that voice. The headmistress.
You and L didn't get the chance to run and get her, so who did? L looked over, and following the very angry headmistress was one other than the helping detachable hand from earlier in your investigation. Frankie.
Mikami dropped you, stepping back knowing he was caught and there was no way he could get out of it now. L immediately caught you as you fell, holding you close to him.
"HE JUST TIPPED HOLY WATER ALL OVER THEM!" L snapped.
Mikami still had the vile in his hands, he was literally caught red handed.
"WHAT? Are you INSANE?! You know full well that can KILL a ghost!" She exclaimed.
Seeing the smoke literally coming off your body and your weakened state as you were hunched over in pain, she could tell it was a bad attack. You'd have burns all over your body from it, it needed treatment, QUICK.
"Frankie call an ambulance, you were right to report the screaming" the headmistress said.
"I'm on it!" They replied, frantically getting out their phone.
"Down the hall! It's Light, he's the killer! We just caught him in the act! The initial scream Frankie heard was the almost victim, he's gorgon frozen right now, we have everything on video!" L quickly explained.
"WHAT?! Light... Yagami? Oh his father will be furious about this... make sure (y/n) gets help, I'll take care of this..." the headmistress said, grabbing Mikami by the arm as she walked past to head down the hall and see everything for herself.
As much as you and L wanted to jump up in celebration that the plan worked, you were in too much pain and he was in too much stress making sure you got treatment asap.
"(Y/n), you'll be ok. He didn't get the chance to perform an exorcism, you'll survive this" L assured.
"I know but - fuck... it burns, it hurts!" You seethed.
"I called for help, they said wash off as as much as possible! Here I have a water bottle!" Frankie jumped in, grabbing their bottle from their bag.
L quickly grabbed it, using his school jacket as a rag to soak and wash away as much of the holy water as he could. You hissed in pain each time he touched one of the burns, but you knew it needed to be done.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know it hurts just bare with me ok?" L assured.
"It's fine- AH, ow... do what has to be done it just burns so bad..." you winced.
"Frankie you're a life saver, how did you catch on so fast?"
"Smart peoples brains remember? I have a ton of them. I got up from dinner to refill my water bottle and as soon as I heard that scream down the hall I knew what was happening. I just booked it to the headmistress, all this adrenaline kicked in! I've never run so fast and not had my legs detach before..." they explained.
Well the plan didn't go exactly the way it was intended, but you got Light and as a bonus Mikami red handed. You saved another life from being taken. You heard the lockdown siren go off, doors and windows automatically locking. The headmistress must have seen the scene and called in the other staff members and police by now.
Even in burning pain, you still felt the joy of it all being over. You did it, the club did it.
Light Yagami was the killer of monster high, and everyone was about to know it.
