The prologue to my Beyond story! It is rated M not for sexual situations, but for blood, gore, language, and just Beyond being Beyond. Please review and tell me if anything should be fixed!
I do not own Death Note.
"What is with his eyes? Are they supposed to be that color?"
"Surely, it must be a temporary thing?"
"Or, a defect. No one in that family has red eyes, strange as they are."
"How gruesome! Look how they follow you!"
"Child of the devil, surely!"
The voices twitter, annoying him. Can't they tell he wants quiet? He wants to sleep, but the red nonsense hovering over their heads both distract and puzzle him. They are over every head in the room, each with different gibberish and spans. What are they? He yawns and nestles deeper into the blanket wrapped around him.
"Don't you women have anything better to do than criticize that baby? He's tired, can't you see?" A deep voice snaps and his eyes flit over to the only man in the room.
He's sturdy, but not burly, and wispy black hair he likes to slick back. His eyes are a cool green. Currently, though, they are narrowed and glowering at the woman flocked together in a corner. His family.
"But, Cam, even you can see that-"
"Beyond is a baby. Nothing more. Enough with this superstitious shit." Cam snaps. He turns to the baby in the crib and smiles slightly.
The baby coos. He likes Cam. He wishes he knows who he is. The women quietly leave the room, leaving Cam and the baby. His smile turns warmer.
"Little Beyond. Those eyes are going to give you trouble. But, that's okay. No one ever said life was an easy ride. I have a feeling, though, you are going to be just fine."
Beyond tilts his head to the side as he watches the second line of gibberish do something most strange. There had been several places filled with the nonsense and suddenly, there is only two places left. It worries Beyond. What does it mean? He watches it slide to an oblong shape and then Cam is falling. A frightening noise comes from his twitching body on the floor. Beyond is glad he can't see what is going on. He sees a slim figure hiding in the shadows of his room. Long black hair falls to her waist. The tangled mess covers her eyes and he watches her lips pull back in a gruesome smile.
"W-why?" Cam chokes out from the floor and it is silent in the tiny room once more.
The woman laughs. The noise scares him. Beyond screams.
