Light in the Pearl of the Night

Chapter 7, Hush now, this is what's best for you Dear Sister

I sighed heavily once I finished with that, it was really late so I decided to rest in bed, I couldn’t sleep but there was thing to do seeing how the Death Note only goes up to 23 days of someone being able to live with their name written down in the notebook, so I stayed silent in my bed. A hour passed since I just laid there when I heard something stirring, I strained my ears to listen when I came to the conclusion that Light was getting up, it was strange she wasn’t like me with insomnia so she must’ve had a nightmare, she had those once in a while but it was going on way before the incident with the attacker.
        I watched her silently as she crept across the dark room, my eyes were well adjusted to the dark so I could see her shadow glide across the floor like a raven flying through the day sky to escape the light, I thought she was going to the bathroom but to my surprise she went to the desk. It was at that moment my heart sank, she was going after the Death Note, I confirmed it after she went through the process of opening the drawer, I couldn’t stand it anymore when I got up right when she had the Death Note in her hands.
        She had planned to destroy it but I stopped her from its plans, when she saw me she quickly hid the book behind her back but I stepped towards her and she started to shake.
        “What’s more important Night, me or this, this destruction?”  she asks, close to tears
        I looked softly at her “Light you are way more important to me than anything else in the world” I said softly
        She shakes her head “prove it, get rid of the book, its nothing but evil”
        At that moment I pulled her closer to me and I wrapped my arms around her “shhh Light, look the reason I cannot get rid of the Death Note is because of you, I want to keep you safe,”
        She whimpers softly “Night”
        “Light, think about my position, do you think I enjoy knowing the fact that I am killing hundreds of people? Do you think I feel any better than you do, it’s a terrible feeling to feel like you have purposely taking a life but I love you Light so in order to protect you I have to use this power that was granted to me, so please stop this”
        She slowly nodded and sobbed in to my shoulder, while in that moment I took the Death Note back from her, making her cry even harder.
         i held her closer "Shhh, hush now, this is what's best for you dear Sister"
