Fate

It seems strange to me... how everything turns out I mean. Everyday I wonder, what will happen to me tomorrow? Ever since I was a child I was always afraid of what will happen the next day and the next and the next. I wouldn't know if I would die or if I would continue living. That's how fate works I guess. Not knowing what would happen to yourself until it actually does happen.

I didn't know that my mother would kill herself after being beaten multiple times by my drunk father. I didn't know my dad would be killed in his sleep while I was hiding under the bed. I didn't know I would be raised in a small shed. I didn't know until it happened.
What would have happened to me if I didn't go in my dad's room? What if my dad wasn't killed? What if I didn't follow the murderer? Would I be alive to this very day?
They say you can change your fate by the choices you make. Fate isn't written in stone. But what about death? Can you control when you or someone else will die? Can you prevent it from happening? That's why I don't believe that you can change your fate. You make and choose your decisions because you are fated to.
I remember, I was told that death comes to all of us. From the very moment you take your first breath till you take you're last, your fate has already been decided. Let's say that you dodge a bullet or you survive a car crash and for whatever reason you are still alive, a miracle didn't happen. You'll die another day. Death is one thing that is unavoidable, no matter how hard you try.
Or, at least, that's what I was told.
But, the way things worked out for me, I don't regret any of it. You see, even though I didn't get the best as I grew up, and trust me, I did have hardships, I really didn't mind.. My life was actually better.
I remember... Oh, my apologies, I started to get side tracked for a moment and I almost forgot. I should be polite and introduce myself. Tempest Channing here as your storyteller. Well, I was told I shouldn't tell anyone my real name, but I'm sure it would be okay now since it doesn't matter anymore. Though, I do prefer to be called Hide Harmony. That's the name that was given to me and the name I was always addressed by. But that name holds too many memories...
Well, there is so much I would like to tell you, but we'll talk about it at a later date or when I have time. So, lets skip the Wara Ningyo Murders or the L.A. Serial Locked Room Killings (or whatever other stupid name the media came up with) and fast forward on to a few days after Beyond was taken to the hospital.

Lying inside a California hospital, on 24 hour watch, was the murderer known as Beyond Birthday. His entire body was all wrapped up except for his eyes and mouth. He lay there looking out the window, lying so still that he could easily be mistaken with a mummified corpse. But to him, sadly, he was still alive. His plan to surpass L had failed completely. Just that one mistake. That one mistake of letting his tongue slip and underestimating Naomi Misora. But the worst part, the worst part of it all, was that he would have to live with the humiliation of his defeat for the rest of his life.
How he longed for death.
But he still had one thing on his mind. One thing that made him grin so cruelly, that it almost made him laugh.

His door opened slowly as a nurse entered the room, followed by two guards. The nurse proceeded toward Beyond as the guards stood in front of the door. After the nurse got bandages out of the one of cabinets she turned toward the guards,
"You two, please leave me alone with him."
"Are you sure about that miss?" said the guard on the right
"He can't do much harm in his condition. It will be alright."
They nodded and proceeded to leave the room. The nurse turned toward Beyond and smirked, "Glad to see your safe and sound."
Beyond recognized the voice "What are you doing here Hide?" he said as she pulled up a chair and sat down
"I wanted to see you, so I sneaked in. Wasn't that hard actually."
"I told you..." Beyond turned toward her, making her cower in fear a little. "not to be so reckless, did I not? You are so young. You do not know how the game is played. You easily could have been spotted."
He was right. She wasn't that old, in her late teens actually. She didn't exactly know when she was born, but Beyond estimated that she was somewhere around 18 years old. Even if she did wear a disguise and heavy make-up like he did, she was still inexperienced. So she hung her head in shame, "I-I'm sorry. B-but I need you to tell me w-what to do now. I don't know what to do, with you in the hospital and all..."
"...If my plan had succeeded, what would you have done?"
Hide didn't answer. Because she didn't have an answer. So she kept her head down. Sure, she was strong and tough, but she couldn't make most decisions without choices. That was her one flaw. She hated when he did this to her, making her decide. But know that Beyond was in the hospital... She only had one answer.
"I have to take care of myself now." she finally replied
She looked up at him. He didn't say anything, he just continued to stare at her. Theykept each others gaze for the longest time. Beyond broke the silence, with a sigh
"Hide, do not worry about it too much. I am certain that you will survive without my help. But, more importantly," his eyes narrowed down slightly "You know what else you have to do, correct?"
Her eyes widened for a second, but she nodded in understanding. She was about to say something but the guards walked in and gave a signal that it was time for her to leave. She nodded and held up one finger to let them know 'one minute' longer. The exited the room but left the door open.
Hide put the chair back and went up to Beyond
'When will I see you again Beyond?' she mouthed words to him so that the guards couldn't hear
Beyond did the same 'They can not keep me here forever. Stay in L.A. I will find you. I will be fine. Keep away from the hospital from now on.'
Hide nodded. She turned around and left Beyond. And was to never return.

I suppose there is some explaining to do. After all, you need to know how Beyond and I know each other. So, to make a long story short, Beyond saved me. It's as simple as that. But when and how I met him, is the single most precious memory I have. It's wasn't a 'normal' way to meet someone. But he changed my life. He saved me.
But, maybe I'll tell you the story of how we met later, if there's time. First things first. Follow me and I will tell you what happened from the day I parted with Beyond in the hospital that day to the day I joined the Mafia and created two unsolvable cases. I will tell you the story of what I was fated to be. The successor of Beyond Birthday.
