Anita said the lord's prayer quietly to herself and left the room. Craig & Eli were left in the room with Ramona alone. She didn't do anything she just had her head bowed. Like she was sleeping. Craig leant in to touch her as soon as he touched her she lunged towards him and shrieked. It was like no other shriek imaginable, it was like more than one was coming out at once, objects started to move. Her chains rattled as she struggled and her joints stiffened. The screams, growls and moans that came out of her were in-human. Her eyes had turned completely black and she started speaking languages in a voice that wasn't her own. It wasn't even female. The two men watched in horror as the little girl struggled. Then she stopped. "Who are you?" asked Eli

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6" the voices chanted it repeated it three times.

"Who are you?" Eli repeated taking out a copy of the bible. They screamed and made horrible noises the demons continued to speak in tongues.

"We are the ones that dwell within, I was in Cain, I am Belial, I took over Judas, I am Azazal, I am Legion and I am Lucifer in the flesh" the voices screamed over each other.

"We want to know about The Cursed Angel"

"We were expecting you. The end is near, The Cursed Angel will see to it"

"Not if we get hold of it first"

"RAHHH!!! You foolish mortals cannot begin to imagine the power the angel has. What makes you think it will do what you tell it?"

"The Priestess can handle it" the demons screamed and kept trying to lunge for them they started speaking in tongues. It was a monstrous sight.

"You seek the man who see's blood. Go to the valley of the dead in the city of Lost Angels there you will find his corpse"

"Who? Who is he?" the screams turned to a straining like the sound of vomiting and the girl's limbs were twitching and bending like a contortionist

"The name of the blood stained man you seek was Beyond Birthday. Go to his grave when the sun dies…the end will come and there is nothing you can do about it!!" it screamed the chains continued to rattle and the girls face had changed to that of a dead person. The voices started to chant together. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6" three times and then they disappeared leaving the little girl panting.

"MUMMY!" she cried out. Anita came running into the room and unlocked her crying daughter.

"Did you get what you needed?" asked the little girl drying her eyes which had now returned to normal

"Yes thank you very much" the men said and left shaking.


L&BB were in their cave. Beyond was writing gory deaths in his notebook and L was sitting with his knees against his chest on a sort of alter in front of the statue humming. Armonia Justin came into their cave he had a worried look on his face. "Lawliet I need to have a brief word with you…alone" L & BB were surprised, they hardly did anything separately. Armonia Justin walked through the desert with L. "Lawliet have you noticed any change in Beyond Birthday at all?"

"Change? No, why is something wrong?"

"Yes. Have you ever heard of something called The Cursed Angel?"

"Oh yeah they're a Death Metal band. Beyond says they're crap."

"No that was Morbid Angel"

"Oh then no I've never heard of it"

"The Cursed Angel is one of the biggest threats imaginable. It could bring Armageddon if it wanted to. It manifests itself inside the body of a person who has a good & true heart but an evil & dangerous mind. A person constantly in conflict with himself and it found the perfect person…Beyond Birthday."

"No way! I know Beyond he wouldn't do anything like that."

"He'd have no choice if someone managed to get hold of his power…"

"I'm not listening to this. You guys have it all wrong." Insisted L marching off

"Lawliet! If you don't believe me The Cursed Angel bares a birthmark on the back of it's neck. If you even want a shot at saving Beyond's soul and everyone else's you'll hear what we have to say" called Armonia Justin. L didn't want to believe that Beyond could be some evil angel but if he was did he know it himself? When L got back to the cave he couldn't find Beyond. L sat on the altar and started to think. Hours past before BB came back. "Hi!" he said marching in

"Huh? Oh hi B, where've you been?"

"I went down to the human realm to play with Near. Man that kid is fun! We played Transformers together and I got to be Megatron!! And he gave me some strawberry ice cream but I had to be careful about eating it ya know"

"You went down to play with Near?"

"Yeah, I figured he might be lonely and besides you went off with A.J. so I figured I should keep Near company"

"That was…good of you. Beyond do you have any birthmarks?"

"Huh? That's a bit random for you isn't it?"

"Yes or no"

"I don't think so. If I do then it'll be either under my hair or on the back of my neck where I can't see 'em. Why?"

"It's nothing just something Armonia Justin said to me"

"Well all this battling the Autobots has made me tired. I'm going to bed"

"What you talking about we're shinigami we don't need to sleep"

"I know that but I want to sleep" said Beyond pulling out a skeleton from inside a coffin in the cave. "Sorry mate" he said jokingly and idly chucking the body against the wall shattering it.

"Have you no respect for the dead?" moaned L

"Of course I do. I'm dead after all" Beyond laughed lying in the beautiful, macabre coffin. L just rolled his eyes. What am I gonna do with him? L watched through the eyes of the world every so often his attention was drawn to BB though. He stood up and walked up to the coffin. Beyond was fast asleep. L bit his bottom lip and gently started to move Beyond's hair. L gasped and looked down at a birthmark just beneath Beyond's hairline that was shaped like a small skeleton with angel wings. Beyond's eyes shot open. "What is it Lawliet?"
"You're The Cursed Angel"

"The what?"

"You've got the mark! I need to go" said L running out leaving Beyond sitting in his coffin. I have to find Armonia Justin before what he says comes true. L thought as he spread his wings and flew. The only way to find out how to save Beyond's soul and the world was to find out exactly what he was up against.
