L looked behind him, seeing her sit on the ground not far behind. He shook his head and rolled his eyes, then as silently as he could he snuck around her and crouched on his heels, hands on his knees. "You give up to easily," He said, his head looming over her shoulders as he whispered in in her ear. His eyes were off in the distance, but they came back and flickered to her face.

Zyra kept herself from jumping as a grin spread out across her face. "Or it was test." she said, glancing up at him her eyes 'crinkling' in amusement. "Maybe you're the one that gives up to easy." Zyra raised her eyebrows up at him, as if stating a challenge.

L shook his head and pulled back slightly, rocking his heels once more. "Or maybe your hiding it," He challenged back, a frown on his face. He brought his hands through his hair, then popped another sucker into his mouth. "You never know." He stared at her a moment, then shuffled backwards into the darker shadows, bidding them to curl around him.

Hiding what? Zyra thought, but she couldn't pop the words out of her mouth. Sighing she jumped to her feet and jumped into the shadows, lunging back in forth as she looked around for L. Her eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness and she slowed to a walk. Zyra crouched down, taking in a deep breath, a different smell was coming from her left. Zyra snapped her head to the left and peered into the darkness. It was no use. The shadows were thick, and she was wrapped up right into the middle. A clasterphobia started seeping into her and she shivered. No time to worry about her fears now, she had to find him. She would not be the loser any more. Zyra held her head in her hands as she thought. I wish there was a way to thin out this shadow, if even for a split second! she thought, racking her brain.

L watched her with wide eyes, a smile dancing on his lips. "Why do you try?" He asked, "Why is there a longing to learn?" He shifted to the side, so she wouldnt follow his voice.

"To learn what?" Zyra inquired, trying to figure out where the voice was coming from. "Shadow lurking?" She started walking forward but broke into a fast run. Zyra was trying to find her way out of the shadow, hoping that L would find her. But as she continued to run it seemed like she was getting no where, the blackness continued to engulf her.

L shook his head, then remembered she couldnt see. "No," He said, "To control shadows." He sighed and shook his head, breaking free out of the wisps of shadow and silently and swiftly grabbing Zyras hand before she could run any farther. "Be calm," He said, pulling her back, "Nothing will harm you."

Zyra's heart pounded in her chest ten times faster as she felt his fingers draw her back. She raised her eyebrows at him in confusion and puzzlement, not trusting her speech. She took two deep breaths then looked up at him. "Okay, I'm calm." she said, surprised at how calm her voice sounded.

L stared at her a moment, before chuckling and dropping his hands away from hers. "Doesnt take much to freak you out, does it?" He said, black eyes dancing for a moment before going dark again. His hands shoved into his pockets awkwardly, and he smirked, looking away slightly.

"Uhh, I guess you could say I'm a little jumpy." Zyra said looking at the dirt on the ground. She shrugged and looked back over at him. Her silver eyes dropped once more to stare at ground. Zyra's heart had finally slowed down and she would have sighed in relief, but sucked in her breath instead. She hated awkward silences.

L chuckled and shrugged. "Who isnt?" He said, showing a little sympathy. He chuckled and stepped backwards dissapearing into the shadows. "But, tell me, Why do you follow me?" He observed her from the darkness, his dark eyes once more emotionless.

"You are," Zyra searched her head for the right words, "Intriguing. Different." she dared, saying the words that had floated through her head ever since she had laid eyes on him.

"Hmm..." L said, letting the shadows evaporate so he could get a good look a Zyra. "Havent heard that before. Its usually, "Strange", "Unwanted" and "Has a soul full of darkness." " He looked at Zyra with eyes that were momentarily troubled, before growing tense and turning his back to her.

Zyra raised her eyebrows. She could see why people said that, but she didn't see him like that. "Are you okay?" she asked, her tone colored with concern. Some of her short, choppy hair fell in her face and she quickly pulled it away. Zyra's silver iris' sparkled and she looked over in L's direction, never taking her eyes off of his back.

L remained tense, studying the shadows around him, all the trees and bushes and plants, before turning back to her with lowered eyes. "Lets go back," He said, not really wanting to answer the question. He walked past her without giving her a glance.
