Astraea P.O.V.
I've been at Whammy's House for three days. I'm one of the only younger kids who doesn't have a roommate, which I'm happy about, and my brother's roommate, Matt, is my favorite person to fight with.
I just finished my English class and I walked down a dorm hallway I hadn't been down before. I looked at the signs on the doors and realized almost no one lived in this hallway, there were only a few filled in signs. I stopped in front of an all black door that had 'Beyond Birthday' written in red marker on the sign.
'What type of name is Beyond Birthday?' I asked myself.
After a minute or two I got up the courage and knocked on the door. I heard someone moving around inside and the door in front of me opened slowly.
In the doorway was a guy with long black hair and red eyes. He looked about fifteen and he wore all black. He looked me up and down for a minute before he spoke.
"Who are you?"
"Astraea," I told him.
His lips twitched a little, "and what do you want, Astraea?"
"Why's your name Beyond Birthday?"
His eyes narrowed at me, "you disturbed me to ask why my name is what it is."
I thought for a second and nodded, "yep. So why is it?"
"Why's your name Astraea?"
"It's the Greek goddess of justice. I would have done Artemis, or the Egyptian goddess Isis, or the Celtic goddess Danu…but I thought justice was better since this is a place to train kids to be the next L."
"Those are all the names of goddesses."
"I like mythology!"
He snorted, "You can read and understand mythology?"
"Yes, I can! I've been reading it since I was five."
"Really?" he asked me, when I nodded he turned and went into his room. He left the door open so I followed him in.
The inside was all black and red. There were several shirts thrown around the room and papers were tossed around. I picked up a shirt that was at my feet and handed it to Beyond when he turned back to me.
He took the shirt and handed me a book. "Have you read this?"
I looked at the cover, 'Mythology by Edith Hamilton'. "No, I haven't."
"Then read and get back to me. I want to see if you actually understand it."
"Alright…do you have a nickname?"
"I go by BB or Beyond."
"BB…I like it. I'll see you later BB?" I asked, finally sounding like a normal six year-old.
"Yeah, I'll see you later."
I walked out the door and heard BB shut it behind me. I walked back into the commons where I was met by my brother and Rodger.
"Where the heck have you been?" Mello asked me.
"I was talking to a guy named Beyond Birthday."
Rodger paled slightly, "did BB do anything to hurt you?"
I giggled, "no! BB was really nice. He gave me a mythology book to read!"
Mello smiled at me a little, "that was nice."
I grabbed Mello's hand and told him about BB as we walked back to his dorm to do our homework.
I heard Rodger say something to someone down the hall. I turned and saw BB slouching in front of him. When I saw his red eyes look at me, I smiled at him until I was pulled around the corner.
BB P.O.V.
I was walking down the hall and came face to face with Rodger in the commons. I saw the strange little mythology girl walking down the hallway with another blonde who was dressed in black.
"Did you do anything to Astraea that she isn't telling anyone about?" Rodger asked me.
"No…unless she didn't tell you I gave her a book."
"She mentioned that. Remember that you're on thin ice Beyond. One screw up and you'll get kicked out of Whammy's."
I didn't answer him. I knew that I only had one chance left. I looked back down the hallway and saw Astraea grinning at me. I watched her until she was pulled around a corner. As I turned to go to the kitchen I smiled slightly to myself.
That strange little girl had a long life to live.
