L's POV:
We didn't know where we were…I mean we kind of knew…but it was too dark to tell exactly where we were. We held hands so we wouldn't lose each other in the darkness, we could probably scream for each other if we somehow let go of each other…but I think we were too scared to even talk right now. Mom and Dad were gone; we had no idea where exactly all we knew is that they were gone. The lights were cut so my guess is they're probably running around the house looking for us…but there aren't any footsteps or the sounds of their terrified voices…so they must be dead.
I guess Beyond saw them get murdered since their blood was splattered all over his white shirt, I had no idea what had happened when the lights turned out. The only thing I heard was my parent's screams, then Beyond ran into the room and tackled me. He didn't really mean to, he was scared and couldn't really see where he was going.
"What should be do now lollipop?" Beyond asked, breaking the dead silence that filled the house, the one thing that came to mind was to get the hell out of the house. The killer could still be here but the doorknob was too high for us to reach, we were only seven and the front door was still locked and closed. So the killer must have come in some other way. He must have broke a window on the lower level of the house to get in; so broken glass is another thing we should look out for.
"First we need to get a phone to call for help, but first we need to find a flashlight so we can find it. Then we need to get downstairs and find something to stand on to unlock the door." I whispered to the other child, I wanted to keep my voice low so the killer didn't know where we were.
"There's so much snow outside now, shouldn't we find some of our winter clothes to?" Beyond suggested, I ignored the question for a moment while I pulled him forward in the direction I thought we'd find a flashlight.
"We don't have time; I want to get us out of here as soon as possible." I said quickly before searching around our room for a flashlight. Everything in our room I had put in specific spots so it would be easy to find, I remember putting a flashlight in the top drawer of my desk. I used my free hand to feel my way around the room until my hand touched the corner or the desk; I moved my hand down to the doorknob and quickly opened it to find the object I was looking for. We both sighed as the room was lit up with the small flashlight, Beyond gasped as I tugged him out of the room and into our parents' bedroom to find one of their cell phone.
"Wait lollipop." Beyond said my nickname a little too loud as he pulled me out of the room; he grabbed the flashlight from me and pointed the light on the floor. I swallowed hard at the sight of the dead bodies; I took a deep breath and moved over to the unconscious woman. I could see her cell phone in her hand, she must have been trying to call for help but wasn't able to in time. I carefully took it from her and went back to Beyond Birthday; we were just about at the stairs when the batteries to the flashlight went out.
"Be very careful." I whispered to the raven haired child as we started walking down the stairs, he must have lost his footing somehow because we both ended up falling forward on the second step. I wrapped my arms around his upper body and head, knowing that was the place that was most vital to children. We held onto each other for dear life as we fell down the hard wood stairs, we landed on our backs when we finally reached the bottom.
"Are you ok?" I asked the other male, who had his face buried in my neck. He slowly nodded and stood up from the ground, I yanked him into the blind spot behind the stairs just in case the killer had heard us. Once I was sure we were safe I checked the cell phone to see if it was still working; thankfully it was. We ran cautiously to the front door and stared up at the locked door.
"Get on my shoulders so you can reach it." Beyond whispered, he let go of my hand and pulled me in front of him. Before I had any time to think of a better plan he had hoisted me up on his shoulders. I quickly turned the lock until it clicked; I turned the knob and opened the door. We both shivered as the winter air hit us like a brick wall, Beyond set me back down on the floor and we both ran out as quickly as out little legs could carry us.
"It's s-so c-cold." The other child breathed as I dialed the police's number, the snow was up to our waists as we trudged through it. Once we got to the sidewalk we sat down and waited for help to come. We huddled close to each other to stay warm, considering it was nearly below zero outside.
"Where do you think we're going to go?" Beyond asked as he lay down on the sidewalk with his head in my lap.
"What do you mean?"
"We don't have any immediate family that can take care of us now, so are we going to be put in a foster home?" The raven asked curiously.
"That's not likely; foster homes are mostly for older children. Since we're still young we're probably going to be put in an orphanage. I'd say a forty percent chance of being put in a foster home…no maybe thirty percent." He rolled his eyes at my deduction powers as the police and ambulance cars arrived. Neither of us moved as the police men stormed into the house, two of the police officers picked us up and put us in the ambulance car to have us checked over. They immediately checked over Beyond first since he was the one with our parents blood splattered all over him.
"I like our room." Beyond said as he climbed up on the bed they we were instructed by Watari to share for now. I nodded and looked around the small room, Beyond and I were put into an orphanage in England that specifically takes special children. While Beyond was shown around and met the other kids Watari had explained that he thought I could be the greatest detective in the world after getting my grades from my teacher and testing me on a few other things. That was probably the reason why Beyond and I were put in this specific orphanage in the first place. He also explained how the children in this orphanage will be trained like me and when I retire I would have to pick who I'd like to become my successor. I always knew I was pretty smart for my age and so did my parents…but greatest detective in the world smart? I have always been interested in justice and I must admit I have watched some criminal shows.
"So you're going to be the greatest detective in the world some day? That's pretty cool." Beyond said, turning his head to smile at me.
"Yea I guess, you really think I could do it?" I asked, crawling up on the bed next to him; he nodded and moved his hand into mine.
"I always see you watching stuff like CSI and one-hundred percent of the time you are able to tell who the criminal is or at least what type of person would do it and why. It's really amazing; I'm only right about that stuff about ninety percent of the time." I grinned, feeling pretty damn proud of myself now. Beyond sat up in the bed and slid on top of me, he wrapped his arms tightly around my neck and nuzzled his cheek next to mine.
"I think you can do it lollipop."
"Me too, and if you study hard enough maybe you could be picked for my successor. Watari did say you also have very good deduction skills."
"Hm…no I don't think that will happen. I'll never be as great as you; no matter how hard I try you're always better than me at everything. "I flinched at the feeling of Beyond clawing his fingernails into the back of my neck.
"Well…I do admit there is one thing you're better than me at. You know every single horror movie ever made; I think that's pretty cool." Beyond just laughed that laugh that gave me chills, his red eyes glowing with happiness…and something else that I didn't want to believe was true about him.
"Here's my deduction, your destiny is to become the greatest detective in the world. My destiny is something far from anything related to what you're destined to do."
"Oh? And what would that be." The raven laughed again and kissed the tip of my nose.
"Hey you're the one who's going to be the world's greatest detective, figure it out." He laughed before curling up on top of me and falling asleep soundly.
