5; y/n

my chest became heavier.

there's no way, no fucking way this notebook is true.

"you're not real," i shuddered, "i'm hallucinating!"

"if you think so, try it out- write down a name." the thing advised.

i shook my head in denial and looked around my room.

i have to be dreaming.

i felt as if i forgot how to breathe, i struggled to keep a steady pace.

my throat felt like it was tied in a knot.

i was on the verge of tears.

"come on, test it out."

i glared at the creature.

"fine."

i searched my backpack for a pen.

i opened the death note to a fresh, empty page.

i shook as the pen met the paper, causing a small scribble.

i began tracing down the name:

Ken Hirano

"there we go- 40 seconds."

i turned on my phone, and opened the stopwatch.

i watched as the numbers countdown.

1..

i sighed of relief.

"it doesn't work. so why are you-"

a sudden, high pitched scream rung through my ears and vibrated the house.

i jumped, quickly pushing the chair off my door.

"MOM!"

i rushed down my stairs.

"Y/N, CALL THE AMBULANCE, CALL THEM NOW!"

what i saw left me thunderstruck.

my mother's boyfriend, violently shaking in her arms.

my body got chills, i found it hard to believe. in the sudden moment, i tried to think of any other logical reason.

but everything connected.

it was real.

"STOP STANDING THERE," my mom shouted, now sobbing, "CALL THE AMBULANCE!"

i nodded and pulled my phone out my pocket. i quickly dialed 119 for an ambulance.

"hello, my mother's boyfriend h-he's shaking and-"

"HE'S NOT BREATHING!"

my mother interrupted.

"he's not breathing please s-send someone!"

i gave them my address, and they reassured that they're sending an ambulance.

my mother kept ken in her arms, still crying and kissing his head.

i gulped, as the realization and guilt of what i've just done got to me.

he deserved it.

remember what he did to you.

i felt my eyes burn. my heart rate increased, i felt as if i was about to have a heart attack myself.

"heheheheheh," i heard a laugh behind me.

i quickly turned around, seeing the creature standing next to me.

"i'm daril, by the way."

i took a deep breath, "i'm y/n."

+++

"mom, is there anything i can get you?" i felt bad for my mother.

"no, leave me alone."

i nodded and shut her door. i walked back to my room.

the hospital pronounced ken dead.

because of me.

i soothed myself by thinking about how badly he deserved it.

the trauma this man gave me.

the abuse he put my mother through.

although she believed him above me, i still love her.

i wasn't as surprised anymore. i felt rather excited, i decided not to overthink the death note. i didn't want to imagine what it makes me, or the power i have.

"you seem rather calm about the situation, most humans freak out after killing someone." daril said.

i shrugged my shoulders, "i've been wishing him dead for years, but i have questions."

"go for it."

"so, you're a shinigami. do you guys live on earth?"

"no, we have our own realm. the shinigami realm. you live in the human world."

"oh, how many shinigamis are there?"

she shrugged, "a lot."

i wanted to avoid asking questions about how the death note worked.

"do you guys all have death notes, or just you?"

"we all do."

"so, how do i have it?"

"another shinigami and i got bored," she paused, "the shinigami realm gets fairly boring at times. all i do up there is gamble. we decided to drop our books."

"well, why did i find it then? and does that mean someone else here has a deathnote?"

"you just happened to be the first to find it. and yes."

i stopped for a moment, and remembered all of the sudden deaths of criminals.

"wait," the uprising of deaths had to be connected to the other deathnote, "the deaths of criminals, the mysterious murderer, are they using the other deathnote?"
