Apology. The single soul that understood Beyond like no other. Beyond Birthday the one who would do anything to understand. She was the one who was insane...he was the one who was obssesed. AxBB Based on The Thespian By Alesana, and my interpritation of the song. Slight angst but my oppinion of a happy ending.

I am here to tell you a story. A story that will torcher your thoughts by day and poision your dreams by night. And all though i will do my best, there are no words that can be writen nor brush strocks on canvas, that can describe the stark, and uter horror of the night that Annabell died.

The Emptiness Will Haunt You.

"The emptiness will haunt you." This was all Apology had to hear before shooting up off the warm ground in which she had fallen asleep on. She looked to her right to see Beyond, still resting soundly in the shadow of the tall oak tree. This tree, the tree that had caused this freindship they now shared. The tree where she had been sitting the day she had first seen him.

I had been sitting in my tree, the tree i had so long before claimed as my own. All the sheep of the orphanage knew to be wary of Apology's prized tree,which is why when i heard shouting i was aroused from my sleep to see Him for the first time.

"FREAK!" One boy yelled throwing a stone at the ebony haired boy. "MONSTER! Why don't you go die!" Another shouted.

"You should help." Said Monotone.

"Yes! Yes! A should help the boy,hm! He has the eyes!" Higher added.

I wasn't sure what 'The Eyes' were nor why the voices told me to help the boy when the normally would instruct me to kill him, but at the moment i did not care. So I stood and began to walk the few feet of distance that stood between the children and I.

A boy who looked older than myself picked up a stone and prepared to throw it.

"I might reconsider my actions if I were you." I whispered to his ear pressing a knife i had stolen from dinner the night before against the taunt flesh of his throat.

The boy froze as did the other three there. The dark haired boy, who was covering his head with his arms, not moved them to look up.

"APOLOGY!" I heard Roger shout, "What on earth do you think you are doing?"

I turned my head, my grip never shifting nor moving. "Punishing the guilty." I answered.

There was a moment of quiet only filled by the distant sound of children playing and Roger's disaproving sigh.

I removed the knife from the boys throat. "Leave this boy be, or I'll hold true to my threat." I said before leaving, ignoring Roger and the sudden sobs that erupted from the threatened boy.

"A you must kill him! He deserves to die you know hm, just like all the others here." Higher said.

"All but the boy with the eyes deserve to die." Monotone spoke.

"And they all shall.." I said to myself returning into the orphanage.

A.N.- For this time being, Apology is meant to be schizophrenic. This means she hears (and might see) things that are not actually real. 'Her voices' are the result of this (I.E. Monotone and Higher) and that's why their 'speach' is in bold (along with other things I might add later.)
