L was awoken by a sound. He opened his eyes to see a red & black music box on a mahogany table playing Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky. He felt a bit light headed. He sat up on a soft bed and looked around. He didn't know where he was. All that was in the room he was in were some lit candles, a broken looking glass, the bed he was on and a wardrobe. It was very eerie especially with the music box still playing.
"Where am I?" he asked himself closing the music box
"With me L Lawliet" said a male voice. The voice sent shivers down L's spine. L looked down to see a hand reach out from under the bed the hand lead to a body which crawled out and stood up. He body looked almost dead. It was pale, very skinny almost anorexic with black messy hair. The body turned and smiled at L. He wore a plain black top and faded blue jeans. He had big dark eyes with dark circles under them. He looked just like L.
"Who are you?" asked L astonished at the resemblance
"You don't remember me. That's ok amnesia is a side effect of the drug. I'll give you a clue my name begins with a B"
"Why am I here?"
"Because I want you here with me" said the man still smiling. L suddenly remembered the man's name.
"Beyond Birthday!"
"Yes L, very good. Oh and please call me Beyond"
"You murderer! Are you going to kill me?" L started to feel dizzy and lay back on the soft, pure white sheets
"No I'm not going to kill you L. There's no fun in that" said Beyond and sat next to L. He started to stroke L's face softly. "Do you feel ill L?" he asked.
"Murderer" L said softly he was feeling so dizzy now he couldn't speak properly
"You need to sleep L. Don't worry when you wake I'll be right here" Beyond said running his fingers down L's body. L tried to stay awake but couldn't. He closed his eyes and everything went black.
