Chapter 2! It took me a while to figure out which direction this chapter was going to go, so I decided to take the path of creepiness lol I think my rewrite of So The Game Begins will be very different from the old version I wrote ages ago and I hope it turns out okay. Thank you for the Reviews, Favorites, Alerts and to the unknown people who read my story too.
If you don't like my story, then don't read it or review.
So I hope you enjoy my rewrite :)
You felt someone shaking you roughly.
' Wake up you silly girl. ' You heard an annoyed voice whispering into your ear.' You can't stay asleep all day...'
You opened your eyes slowly, you turned your head and saw a blurred outline of a man's face close to your face. You tried to focus on the face outline, you gasped as you felt something cool brush against your arm and you closed your eyes tightly.
' W-w-who are you?' You stuttered.
' I'm offended that you don't even remember me my dear, maybe I should let you guess... let's play a little game. ' Chuckled the man's voice cruelly . ' Seeing as blind man's bluff use to be a favorite game of mine as a child, but alas we're in a small space and it would be difficult to play... pity.'
You slowly opened your eyes, you studied your kidnappers face and gasped.' I remember you...'
' Do you now, so who do you think I am?" Asked the man, he yanked you up from an old bed you were lying on by your arm and pushed you back against a cold wall.' Tell me...'
You trembled as you looked down at your hands, you saw that your wrists were bound together with some rope and your eyes grew wide as you noticed a knife in his hand. You watched as he ran the sharp blade of his knife down your chest, you listened to him humming a tune to himself and you looked up at his face.
' Beyond Birthday...' You whispered to him.
' So you do remember me...' Chuckled Beyond, he brought the tip of his knife's blade to his bottom lip and smirked at you.' How interesting...'
' What do you want with me?' You asked.
' I don't want you, I want L and I plan to use you to get to him.' Answered Beyond.
' L will not come... even I know that...' You quietly said.
' True, he doesn't mind if any of his flock gets sacrificed in the line of duty.' Smirked Beyond, he removed the tip of his knife from his bottom lip and yanked you away from the wall by your arm.' That's why I've began to play a little game with our dear L.'
' What game?' You asked.
Beyond chuckled as he pushed you backwards onto the old creaky bed, he climbed on top of you and held his knife against your throat as he smirked at you.' Haven't you figured it out yet? The murder case you and your idiotic Wammy boys have worked on with L.'
Your eyes widened at Beyond's words, you stared into his crimson eyes as you cupped your hands together and swallowed hard.
' I'm the suspect you've been searching for...' Sang Beyond, he removed his knife from your throat as he got off you and smirked. ' They should know it's me by now, the parcel you collected from the hotel's reception desk for L was a little puzzle to solve...'
' Why are you doing this?' You asked quietly.
' Because it's fun...' Smirked Beyond.
' Answer me!' You yelled at Beyond.
' I've got my reasons...' Chuckled Beyond, he crossed his arms and smirked at you as he gently tapped his knife on his side." You're to curious, but I think it would be fun if we contacted L to see if he as solved the little puzzle I sent him and to arrange a trade...'
" Trade?" You asked.
" You for him." Chuckled Beyond.
" He will not come! How many times do I have to tell you that!" You yelled.
" We'll see..." Smirked Beyond, he walked over towards a wooden chair in the corner of the room and placed the knife down in it." I've got many tricks up my sleeve yet to share with the world..."
You watched Beyond pick up a pink mobile phone from the wooden chair, he flicked the phone open and chuckled as he flicked through the numbers on the mobile with his thumb to his lips.
" My phone..." You whispered.
" I know..." Chuckled Beyond.
You rolled onto your side and leant on your arm. You slowly managed to sit up as you used your bound hands for support, you sighed deeply and continued to watch Beyond standing in the corner of the room with his back to you.
Beyond began to pacing up and down the small dark room with your mobile phone in his hand. His facial features reminded you of L in many ways, you felt a shiver run down your spine as you watched him chew his thumbnail as he smirked and you looked down to your black boots next to the old bed.
' Dammit!' You heard Beyond shout.
You jumped as you looked up at him as he raised his voice with frustration and pulled your legs to your chest.
" No L! " shouted Beyond, he stopped and turned around and glared at you as he held your mobile phone towards you. ' L is going under an alias name is he not ? I'm positive that it is not Matt, Mello or Near... I remember those little punks from The Wammy House.' He slumped down next to you on the old bed, you felt the bed creaking under his weight as he leant his face closer to yours and smirked at you. 'So Sketch. Which name on your phone is L's alias name? '
You looked down at your mobile phone in Beyond's hand, you looked at the phone's screen and swallowed hard as you whispered to him." I can't tell you..."
" Now my dear, I wouldn't start playing silly little game with me... you could get seriously hurt." Chuckled Beyond, he brought your mobile phone closer to your face and smirked." Have you ever played the game hide the blade?"
You slowly shook your head as you bottom lip trembled, you looked down the list of names in your phone book on your mobile phone and took a deep breath." I can't tell you..."
" You're driving my patience my dear, do you really want to play hide the blade?" Smirked Beyond, he slowly moved his hand towards your face and brushed your hair behind your ear as he spoke calmly to you." I can be really gentle with a blade if you ask nicely, I'm asking you one more time... what is L's alias name?"
You closed your eyes tightly as you felt Beyond slowly run his finger tips down the back of your neck, you breathed heavy and jumped as he wrapped his hand around your throat.
" Ryuzaki..." You gasped.
" Ryuzaki..." Sang Beyond.
" You bastard..." You whispered, you leant your forehead on your knees and sniffled.
" A lady should never use language like that in front of a gentleman." Chuckled Beyond.
" You're no gentleman..." You whispered.
Beyond smirked as he unwrapped his hand from around your throat, he clicked down the list of numbers on your mobile phone and licked his top lip. " Ryuzaki..." He chuckled as pressed the green dial button on your mobile phone, he put your phone on speaker phone and put it near his ear.
Ring... Ring... Ring
You looked up from your knees and watched Beyond chuckling to himself as he waited for an answer on the other end of the phone. It seemed to take forever for the phone to be answered but finally a voice spoke on the other end of the line and Beyond became silent.
" Sketch?"
" It's been a long time since I have heard your voice L or should I say Ryuzaki..." Smirked Beyond.
" Yes, we have expected a call from you Beyond Birthday. I believe you are holding Sketch hostage, I'm 93% sure that you abducted her from the hotel yesterday morning." Said L.
" You found my clues I left for you to solve I take it ? Has always you right my dear L , but it will not be easy to get your dear Sketch back and I will be interested in your tactics to rescue her. You see, I plan to play a little game with you... I doubt you will enjoy it."
" Beyond, tell me what you plan to achieve by taking Sketch ? " Asked L.
" Probably nothing, But I want to see you L... all alone with no Wammy boys at your side.' Chuckled Beyond.
" And what if I don't agree to your terms ?" Asked L.
" Well, if you don't agree to my terms then I suggest you buy a coffin for your precious little Sketch." Laughed Beyond insanely, he yanked at your top and pulled you closer to him ." And you will get the pleasure of hearing her scream your name just for you as I torture her slowly..."
" Listen you son of a bitch! If you harm one hair on Sketch's head I'll blow your god damn brains out and use you skull remains as a jack o lantern!" Yelled a male's voice.
" A Jack o lantern?" Asked another male's voice.
" Idiots..." Sighed another male's voice.
" Mello... Matt... Near." You whispered.
" Mello and Matt. I do believe you two will make my game a fun and interesting one." Chuckled Beyond, he held your mobile phone towards your mouth and smirked." Say hello to the idiotic Wammy Boys."
" H-h-hello." You stuttered.
" Sketch, as Beyond Birthday harm you in any way?" Asked L.
" No..." You answered.
" That's good to know." Said L.
"L...I'm scared..." You whispered.
Without warning you felt a sharp pain on your right shoulder, you felt something warm run down your back and shoulder as Beyond chuckled insanely as you screamed.
" Sketch!" Shouted Mello.
" Beyond! I demand you to stop at once!" Shouted L.
Beyond pulled away from your neck, he pushed you away from him as he chuckled and wiped his mouth with his black shirt's sleeve. " You just got a taste of what will happen if you don't agree to my terms. Maybe Sketch will be my 3rd victim... who knows."
" I'll agree to your terms on one condition. That you return Sketch safely back to the hotel before I even meet you." Said L.
" My Terms L not yours." Smirked Beyond." Hmm not the hotel, I know of an abandoned church near to where you are based called st Mary's Arch of Heaven. Meet me there at 12:30am. A perfect place where we will not be interrupted and I will return your pretty little Sketch safely back to you."
" Fine, I agree to your terms Beyond Birthday." Said L calmly.
" See you soon." Chuckled Beyond.
* Call Ends *
Beyond threw your mobile phone against the wall on the other side of the room. " Well Sketch, we have a few hours to kill before we meet our dear L."
You curled up into a ball on the old bed and breathed deeply as you looked towards your shoulder. Your eyes widened as you saw blood running down from a bite mark on your shoulder and bit your bottom lip.
" Leave me alone..." You Whispered.
Beyond crawl slowly on top of you till his face was next to your ear, he chuckled quietly into your ear and whispered." Don't be like that..."
" I mean it, leave me alone!" You yelled.
Beyond chuckled as he looked down at the bite mark on your shoulder, he leant forward and licked some blood from your shoulder.
" Stop it!" You screamed.
You struggled underneath Beyond as he licked your shoulder roughly, you screamed again and began to panick. " Get off me!"
" Hush ." Whispered Beyond, his hand covered up your mouth with a wet rag and you heard him chuckling quietly." It will all be over very soon my dear..."
You struggled as his hand tightened over your mouth and you smelt something sweet on the rag . You felt your eyes getting heavy as sleep crept over you and you heard Beyond's voice as you began to black out.
" Hush, the game will begin soon... rest now." Whispered Beyond.
