"Where are we?"
"The place I used to call home 'California Psychiatric Asylum'" said Beyond pulling L up to the second floor. L had never been in an asylum before it wasn't a very nice place. He could hear cries from some of the cells. Beyond acted like everything was normal though. He looked at L. "Nice place, eh?" he said sarcastically.
They got to the end of a particularly nasty ward. Screams and voices came from inside almost every room. It was like something out of a horror movie. Some of the doors had tape across them. Those must have been the cells of Kira victims thought L. Beyond turned into one of the rooms and L followed him.
They were in a fairly large white padded cell. The bed sheets were crumpled and there was a large barred window high up. Beyond stood in the middle of the room looking around. He turned to the bed and gasped. "My straightjacket!!" he yelled and hugged the straightjacket as if it was a long lost friend. "Lawliet, do you know how many times I was put in this thing when I had visitors?"
"Why are you hugging it like that?"
"I liked it because whenever I was put in it I was gonna have visitors, always doctors though. Also I created a terrifically fun game. When I was in my straightjacket I would jump against the walls and bounce straight off. It was like a big bouncy castle." Beyond started laughing insanely until he fell over. L was very disturbed at the sound of Beyond's game. "My corner!!" yelled Beyond pointing to a dark corner of the room. He scuttled on all fours over to it and snuggled up in it.
"Urmm…Beyond?"
"I used to sit right here when my burns were healing and my hair was growing back. I needed to avoid sun otherwise it hurt." Beyond smiled he looked so comfortable in the cell
"I thought you hated it here" Beyond shook his head
"Hell no! I loved it here. What I hated was the fact that you abandoned me in Wammys House. I was treated like a robot. Here they treated me like a human. Here I got compassion where Wammys gave me criticism, smiles instead of frowns and fun instead of sorrow"
"I'm sorry" said L. He felt guilty that Beyond had been treated so badly that he preferred living in the funny farm to Wammys House. What fresh hell did I put him through?
"It's over now. I don't even think about it. Come on lets scare some people" Beyond said crawling out of his corner. He snatched L's death note and ran into the next cell. L ran in after him when he heard a woman scream. "Hey Carly"
"B-Beyond Birthday?"
"Yep"
"B-b-but you're dead" she spluttered
"Hey Lawliet this is Carly, one of my friends in life"
"Ghosts!!" the girl screamed banging at the door. "Let me out! Help" Beyond laughed hysterically. One of the guards came to the door to see what the girl wanted. She was now crying and gibbering.
"Beyond. Time to go" said L dragging Beyond through the wall
"Come on Lawliet try scaring one of the guards its fun. I'll catch up with you in a bit" he said disappearing. L walked through the corridor and eventually found the guards break room. He walked in and watched them all. He decided to take a different approach to B. He flicked the lights for a while when he had everyone's attention he started to rattle things about. The guards didn't seem scared more confused. L stopped and looked at them. "What was that?" said one of them
"I dunno probably just a stupid Halloween prank"
"It was quite dramatic don't cha think?"
L smiled. They're getting uncomfortable, Beyond's right this is fun. He turned on the coffee machine and started to throw things. The guards all started cursing and rushing around trying to avoid the flying objects. "What would Beyond do to really freak them out? I know" said L to himself and pulled out the chair from one of the guards and smashed it on the wall. L giggled and Beyond walked in. "Oh I see you're getting the hang of scaring people" watching the guards running around in fear.
"Yeah this isn't actually that bad" L said as the guards ran out of the room screaming.
"Hey Lawliet wanna check out something really scary?"
"Yeah" said L with a cute smile. Beyond grabbed his hand and dragged him out the room. Practically the entire asylum was running around terrified. Screams were echoing throughout the halls like something out of a horror movie.
"THE DEMON!!!" screamed one of the lunatics. One of the guards was rocking back and forth on the floor repeating to himself "there's no such thing as ghosts". L looked around shocked. Some people were even banging on the other lunatics cell doors begging them to let them in. "What the hell did you do to them?"
"Scared 'em mindless and let some of them out but it gets better come on" L was getting a very bad feeling when he heard the words 'it gets better'. They got to the floor Beyond had stayed on and looked around there was blood everywhere. One of the lunatics that Beyond had freed was on a kill spree. L was speechless. Beyond took L's death note and touched the man with it before L could take it back. The man was freaking out when he looked at the two. His eyes were huge and he had a half smile he giggled for a while. Beyond turned to L. "Lawliet this is Matthew Myers. He can't talk since he saw me but he's good at killing"
"Make him stop it Beyond! You're taking this too far" L ordered looking at all the corpses. He could hear screams of fear inside some of the cells. What the hell has Beyond done to this place? "You stop him Lawliet" said Beyond sinisterly handing L the death note. Myers was walking down the hall with the hammer he had used to smash peoples heads in with. "You'll save the people in the long run" L closed his eyes and wrote in the death note. He knew Beyond wouldn't let this go.
'Matthew Myers. Dies peacefully'
Beyond smiled and L felt awful when the man fell to the ground. "Well you've ruined my birthday Beyond" he moaned
"What? You didn't find that fun?"
"No I didn't. Scaring the guards was fun. Having to kill a guy because he was on a kill spree was not." Beyond looked at the floor oblivious to the screams of terror from the cells
"Sorry Lawliet." L looked at Beyond he did for once actually look sorry
"Come on I think we've done enough damage here. Let's go somewhere else but promise me you won't go over the top again"
"I promise"
"Ok then" the two shinigami slammed their fists together and flew out the building. Even outside the building they could still hear the screams of horror. That was one Halloween nobody there would forget.
A/N: Sorry this took so long to write. At the moment I'm suffering from severe writers block LOL. As soon as I get better there'll be new chapters up.
