A New Light Remake

"yo Jonathan, hand me the bat."

Jonathan gives Terrance the bat that he was holding. Terrance is like that one friend who's white but acts like a black person. He looks down at light, a small scrawny looking kid with black hair and brown eyes wearing glasses, and nothing to flashy. He looked pretty beaten and bruised.

Terrance taps the ground with the bat

"hey, get up loser."

Light although a bit wobbly was able to get up on his feet. Terrance then grabs his shoulder with his other hand.

"Would you mind explaining why the teacher said that I was missing work today?"

Light stutters slightly.

"W-well, while doing your paper, I might've accidentally spilled some wat-"

Without warning Terrance hits his leg with the bat causing Light yelp and fall to the ground grabbing his leg. Terrance smiled at him.

"You do know what happens when you don't finish it right."

Light then came to a realization that they'll beat him more than the usual.

"W-wait Terrance, i-i can ju-"

"Hold him up Jonathan." Terrance interrupted him before he could say more.

Jonathan said nothing and grabbed light's arms and lift him up to his feet. Light was taken by surprised but it didn't last long as Terrance hits his other leg with the bat. Light falls down again holding his leg in pain. Terrance then hits back making light fall to the side.

The beating then went on for a few hours until the got bored and left. Now it was the middle of the afternoon after school ended. Light was on the ground before stumbling his way up to his feet. He then walked home from the there. It took him a bit to get there. He got to front of his just before stopping. His hands began to shake again.

(Dad's gonna kill me for getting home so late.)

Light then opens the door and walked inside before shutting the door behind him. He then walked past the living room to go to his room. But then called his name.

"Light dawnson." A gruff sounding voice can be heard from the living room.

This makes light freeze in place as he begins to tremble slightly. He hears footsteps coming towards him from behind before stopping just a few inches away. Light slowly turned around and saw a big fat man with a messy beard and hair as he looks to be drunk.

"D-dad." he looks at him nervously.

"Why are you late?" he looked back at light with an upset look.

"w-well I got held up by a few people at school." he nervously smiles

"Hmmm." He takes a good look at him. "Well, then as punishment for being late, you will sleep in the basement until the end of the week."

"W-what?" Light was surprised by this. "B-but I didn't mean to com-"

"Basement, now." He rose his voice a little

"B-but da-"

He then gets punched in the face knocking him back into the ground. His father glared at him expecting an answer.

"... yes dad." he didn't want to look up at him as he felt like it hopeless to get out of this.

He got up and started walking towards the basement door. He opened it as it's just pitch black inside. He stood at the top of stairs and took a sharp gulp. He was about to take a step into the basement when he was suddenly pushed. This causes him to fall down the stairs damaging him severely.

After falling down the stairs his vision was blurry. He looked up and saw the figure of his dad at the door before closing it leaving him in nothing but darkness.

The next day, he had went to school without glasses as they broke when he fell down the stairs. But this time he did something different. He had somehow found a way to get to the roof of his school and stood on the edge looking down.

(It's been 7 years since you died mom.. you left me and dad alone in the house.) he took a tiny step closer to the edge.

The other students below saw him and some began to record while others are trying to speak to him.

(dad became a drunkard and started beating me leaving me in the basement every time I do something wrong.)

(And even at school. I even get punished at school for doing things wrong.)

Without him noticing, the police and the firefighters were there. Though he did hesitate as he had taken a small step back from the edge. He was so lost in thought that he was startled by someone from behind him.

It was a firefighter that was there to get him.

"Hey."

He turned around to look at him and instinctively took a step back. Before he knew it he had already taken a step forward and began falling. But in that sudden moment everything around him felt like they were paused.

(Ah, I guess this is were I'll die.. probably)

He then began to see the memories of the times where his mom was alive. And just before hitting the ground he sheds a single tear. Everything then immediately goes black as he makes impact to the ground.

Sirens were heard but muffled. People were yelling and muffled. He couldn't hear anything. It sounded like so many people were talking to him at once.

(Ah.. it... Hurts... So.. much)

He couldn't see, hear, much less feel anything.

(Is.. this.. what's.. death.. like)

He no longer felt pain anymore.

(It's.. peaceful.. and.. nice)

It was like he was in clarity.

(I guess.. I can.. finally.. rest)

But just then, a tiny light appears.

(What?.. why.. do I.. see.. light?)

The light then became brighter and brighter than the last.

(W-what's happening?)

The light then became brighter than ever. And suddenly he started to feel warmth that he's never felt before. He subconsciously Opened his eyes and was greeted with the bright blue sky. He sat up and he looked to be in a ruin of sorts surrounded by trees larger than the ones he knew.

Confused he then asked himself

"Where.. am I?"
