Sighing I trudged my way to my bus, music blasting my eardrums. I glanced around the parking lot of my old elementary school and noticed something strange at the entrance, or rather someone. A hunched figure with messy black hair stood under the tree at the corner of the sidewalk. I was shocked when I recognized L.

As soon as I recognized him he looked up and met my eyes with his darkened red ones. I started when I realized it was Beyond Birthday, not L, who I was looking at. He grinned at me and started forward. Alarmed I glanced at my bus and caught Kallen's eye. He turned around and ignored me and by then it was too late, Beyond was in front of me. Knowing little about his character except what I had read online I was cautious.

"Beyond." I said, letting him know I knew who he was.

His grin grew wider. "You know me?"

"Y-yeah. I know w-who you are." I stammered.

"Great. Then you can come with me." He grabbed my arm and pulled me toward a white van on the street.

"N-no! B no!" I pulled in the other direction. "I have to go home!"

"No, you're coming with me." I looked back and saw everyone looking at us.

Seeing my chance I sat on the ground. "I'm not going B, and if you want me to go then you'll have to drag me and make a scene."

Too bad I didn't take into account the fact he would drag me. Screaming I was dragged to the van.

"Stop! B! Stop it! I'm not going with you! Damn it!"

By then everyone was staring at me being dragged to a white van against my will. Eventually they jumped into action when I was being shoved roughly into the van. But it was too late. Beyond jogged to the driver's side and, with squealing tires, drove away.

Pissed at Beyond for kidnapping me, I formed at plan in my mind. Quickly I crawled into the passenger seat beside BB and looked at the intersection ahead of us. We were about five blocks away from Lindale and B was starting to obey the laws so he didn't look suspicious. There was a stop sign and I could feel the van slowing down. Victory!I crowed in my second he stopped I threw open the door and made to jump out. But just as I was about to exit the van B grabbed the back of my sweater and stopped me.

Growling I shrugged out of the sweater and jumped. I never liked the green abomination anyway.

The pavement hurt a lot more than I thought it would. Groaning I pushed my way up onto my feet and ran away from the van and BB. I could hear the van start after me so I did the only thing I could think of, run to where he couldn't follow. I bolted in the direction we had just come and into an alleyway, jumping a chain link fence and running to my old elementary school's playground. Not knowing where else to go I booked it to the gray box that sat against the school in the playground.

Quickly I crawled on top and onto the roof of the school. Panting I fell forward onto my hands and knees and gulped air into my burning lungs. Absently I noticed blood running down my arm from when I fell. Footsteps sounded beside me and I turned to see Beyond approaching. Panting slightly, I snapped up into a standing position and my hands clenched into fists.

"Stay away from me!" I screamed and backed up a step. Beyond seemed transfixed by the blood on my arm, a sadistic smile playing on his lips. Realizing what had happened I put a hand to the source of the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Don't stop it. You look so beautiful with blood dripping from your fingers."

"B. Don't even think about it! You aren't going to hurt me! I won't let you!"

The smile grew bigger. "You never had a choice."

Alarmed I backed up and ran into a wall. Judging by where I am this is the roof of the gym. I almost laughed at the thought that had jumped into my mind. I'm about to be tortured and killed and I'm thinking about where I am in theschool?

BB approached and I slid along the wall to get away. I noticed the ledge a few feet from me. Before I could move a step in that direction B pinned me against the wall roughly. I struggled but it was futile, although Beyond was thin he was strong.

"Please don't hurt me, Beyond, please."

"Begging won't do you any good. Neither does screaming."

"What about kneeing you in the nuts?" I asked under my breath.

"What did you say?"

In answer I jerked my knee up and BB crumpled to the ground. Quickly I bolted for the ledge but was tripped. I whipped around and faced Beyond. Snarling in rage I brought my free foot up and kicked him in the face, breaking his grip on my leg. I scrambled up again and got a few steps before a large weight crashed down on me, knocking the wind from me. Groaning and dazed I was flipped over, and I came face to face with a wild-eyed Beyond Birthday with a gleaming knife raised above me.

Slowly he brought the knife to my face and sliced a line down my cheek, then another on my other cheek. I could feel the shallow twin crescents oozing blood like tears down my face. He then took the blade to my shirt and cut it away from my body to mutilate me more. Tears were running down my face to mingle with the blood on the ground. While Beyond was busy with my shirt I was back to plotting a way out. He was stronger than me, both physically and mentally, and he was armed. All I could think of was screaming and I doubted anyone would hear me.

Then I heard the sirens. Hope flared bright in my mind and I knew I had a chance. I took a deep breath and let out a wordless scream. Then another. Car doors slammed nearby and I let another scream rip from between my parted lips until I became hoarse and my voice cracked.

Beyond seemed to finally notice the sirens and it ripped him from his crazed joy. He clamped a hand over my mouth and I could taste my own blood on his hand. He took his other hand and put it to his mouth, licking the blood off like a cat washing it's paw.

Glaring at Beyond I wiggled until I could get my feet flat on the ground and bucked my hips up, a move I learned in MMA a few summers ago when I was visiting family. Beyond was thrown off balance and crashed to the ground as I tipped my hips to one side. Taking advantage of the situation I jumped up and tried to run again, but like before I was tripped. But I made sure to land on top of Beyond.

He seemed shocked that I was on top of him but snapped out of it the second I pinned his arms down. Glaring he struggled under my weight and tried to unseat me. I could hear the police below on the ground and I knew it was a matter of moments before they apprehended Beyond.

"Beyond. It's over. Your caught. In a few minutes they will be here to arrest you and then you will either be committed to an asylum or given a death sentence."

Without replying BB thrust his hips up and knocked me off him. I cried out in alarm as I fell onto my side. Beyond Birthday stood, and giving me a regretful glance ran to the other side of the roof and jumped off. I was sitting on the ground, staring wide eyed at where he had disappeared when the police got onto the roof.

An ambulance was called and I rode to the hospital to get the cuts on my body looked at. I was sitting alone in the hospital waiting room after seeing the doctors when I noticed something in the pocket of my jeans digging into my leg. Intrigued I reached into my pocket and pulled out a switchblade with an ebony handle with the letters BB etched in silver into the handle. Beyond Birthday's knife! Alarmed I stared at the weapon in my hand. How had that gotten in my jeans?

A hand moved into my view and took the knife and I looked up to see Beyond holding the blade and looking at me. Startled I jumped up and stepped back a few feet.

"You were beautiful draped in crimson. I don't know why you didn't let me finish." He smiled ruefully at me. "But I believe I didn't get to finish because it's not your time yet. But when it is it will be at my hand that you die, dripping in crimson blood."

With that Beyond Birthday handed back the blade, turned, and walked out of the hospital.

Alarmed I stood and stared dumbly after him. I shook my head and chased after him. I had to ask him what he meant by what he had said.

"Beyond!" I shouted and grabbed the back of his black shirt.

He turned at looked at me questioningly. "Yes?"

"What do you mean you'll come for me when it's my 'time'?"

"Your time in this world isn't up yet. Your meant to stay for a few more years."

"How do you know you will be the one to kill me? How will you even be able to find me?" I demanded.

"I just know."

And he turned and walked away.

A/N- Well, what do you think? I worked hard on this but I'm not sure if Beyond is OOC or not, so let me know. The main character is an OC of mine named Michi Yukimurai and I'll describe her better next chapter. If I post it. I'll need 3 reviews if I'm going to continue so please let me know. Flames shall be used for roasting MarshMello's.
