Now here's where the story really begins peoples. Enjoy~
"Why do this if it means you'll die?"
"It's the only way we'll win, if I don't do this, we've lost."
"I'd rather lose than watch you die. And what if it doesn't work, then you've died for nothing."
"I'm afraid I can't grant your wish, just remember me as your savior Juliet. This is all for L, and for you~"
Chapter 2: Not Forgotten
June 16, 2005: A Prison in Los Angeles
That very conversation he'd had with Juliet, the conversation that sent her crying outside somewhere, repeated in Beyond's mind like a bad movie. He felt like a heartless monster for saying that. He was going to kill himself for his own wants and beliefs, knowing that if he were to die, then she'd most likely commit suicide.
Beyond was oblivious to what she was doing now, but he honestly hoped that she hadn't died, not yet at least. At the moment he couldn't remember her lifespan, so she could have died in the following year. As rude as he usually was to her, he prayed she was still alive. She reminded him of A, though A was a lot different than Juliet, and that's what made them similar. Juliet had a twisted mind at times, but at the same time she was just a helpless teen lost in the world.
He remembered her saying things like, "I was abandoned in this world until you came," or things like, "I'm almost positive I would have died if you hadn't come to save me."
It was as if she believed she was nothing until he came. He wondered what she was doing at this moment. Beyond sat in his cell, looking at the corner, his orange jumpsuit letting each breeze pass through because of how big it was.
His red eyes matched his different personality. He suddenly heard his cell door open. Beyond looked behind himself and saw a female looking at him with awe. She was one of the warden's, her name tag said Michelle Madison and she had black shades on along with an officer's hat.
Beyond could tell her body was shaking as she looked at him, the keys clinging in her hand. "What do you want?" Beyond asked, hastily. "Did I do something wrong?" he asked. The girl just gaped at him like an idiot. "Beyond.." she gulped. Beyond stood up, looking at her. "You look so different, all those burns marks on your hands and neck, even some on your face."
Not knowing where this was going, Beyond walked closer to the girl. "Who are you?" he asked. "Oh.." the girl stammered. "I forgot about the extent of your eyes." Beyond looked at her strangely as he grabbed onto the collar of her shirt. "Look lady, I'm not in the mood for any bullshit," he shouted. After a second of just standing there, the girl grabbed onto his battered hands. "I told you this was a stupid idea. 'This is all for L, and for you,' was the last thing you said to me before you left me crying. You jerk."
Beyond's eyes softened a bit as he realised who it was. Letting go of her shirt, he reached for the shades covering her eyes and took them off, revealing wide, deep, green eyes. "Juilet..?" he said, incredulous of her prescences. Juliet nodded, tears consuming her eyes. Rather than a happy greeting, Beyond looked at her angrily. "What the hell are you doing here?" he asked.
Juliet looked at him seriously, wiping the tears from her eyes. "I've come to get you out of here," she said. Beyond looked at her in disbelief. "It's too dangerous for you to be here," he said. "No, it isn't. You could die if I leave you here. Kira might get to you. Besides, I've came this far, I'm not going to give up yet.
"I've hacked into the police files and deleted every single fact about you so they'd have no information. After that, I got a hold of one of the wardens and stole her clothes. Beyond I killed someone in this plan to get to you. I turned the security cameras off and I've found a way to get you out. You've just got to trust me!"
Beyond looked at her crazily, then he sighed. Juliet unlocked the cell and led him outside into the jail training course where other prisoners worked out. Since jails were scheduled no different than boarding schools, the prisoners where in their cells and the wardens weren't outside. Since the cameras were off they wouldn't see that they escaped out this way. "How are we suppose to get out, there's barbwire on the fence, so we can't climb out," he said.
Juliet shushed him and led him around the jail. Beyond saw a small hole in the fence. "Where did this come from?"
"I managed to sneak around and rip it open." Beyond couldn't believe how much thought she put into this plan. Juliet led Beyond under the fence and as soon as they were over, Beyond dashed after Juliet who led him behind a building far from the prison where an old corvette was parked. It was dark blue and looked like it hasn't been new since the 1980's. "Where'd you get this?" he asked. "I bought it, it didn't cost that much. Get in, I brought your old clothes so you could change out of that suit, it's really distracting. I won't look when you change."
Beyond nodded, getting into the car where he found a pair of clothes. It was what he'd usually wear, a long sleeved shirt and baggy blue jeans. When he finished changing, Juliet got in the car and started it.
As Juliet let it warm up, she looked at Beyond who sat in the passenger's seat next to her. It was the afternoon, the sun high in the sky, it was hot and muggy like any other day in Los Angeles. Juliet started to smile as she looked at him. "What's wrong?" he asked.
He was shocked at the sudden act of her arms pulling him into an embrace. "Oh, I missed you so much Beyond. I'm so glad you're alive!" she cried on his shoulder. Beyond wasn't the affectionate type, though he didn't stop her from hugging him, her tears soaking his shirt. "Juliet," he said.
Juliet pulled away, wiping the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold in those tears. I haven't seen you in a year, I couldn't help it." Beyond sighed, watching as she pulled out of the driveway and drove away from the jail. After maybe thirty minutes of driving, they reached an old house by the beach. From the broken windows to the chipping bright blue panel walls, Beyond remembered this was their old hide out back when he was murdering people.
"You're still staying here?" he asked. "Of coarse, I had no where else to go. And I..." she paused, turning the car off. "I've always believed you'd come back, so I didn't want to leave." Before he could say anything, Juliet got out of the car and opened the door for Beyond.
When they walked inside, he saw it was as dusty as usual. The wood creaking at each step. No air conditioning, so the hot Los Angeles air was overwhelming with stuffy old air. They had their usual old furniture, a small dining room table with two chairs, an old ripped up couch, a refrigerator and a working sink with an old stove. Up stairs was two old beds with springs sticking out of them.
It felt like home already. "I'm going to go and change, be down in a bit!" Juliet ran upstairs, leaving Beyond to sit on the old couch. The light poured in through the broken windows, the sea air overfilling his nostrils with damp dusty air mixed with it. He noticed an old laptop laying on the couch. She must have bought it, he thought.
When Beyond heard her coming down the steps, he looked up to see her. He guessed she was about eighteen now, and she looked more mature. Her hair was still a brunette's mess, and she still looked skinny from of lack of food. She even looked pale, other than her rosy cheeks. She wore a black tank top and white capri pants and those old high-tops she had when they first met, they were colorful and looked like it had graffiti on it. Her voice represented a English accent as well.
Juliet walked down the stairs and took a seat next to Beyond. Juliet smiled brightly as she looked at him. "What is it now?" he asked. Juliet wiped tears from her eyes as she stared at him. Beyond sighed, looking at her shamefully. "You've gotten so emotional since I've left. What have you been doing while I was gone, crying I suppose?" he teased. "You're such a cry baby."
Juliet failed at an attempt to punch Beyond in the shoulder which resulted in a soft dab. "What was that?" he laughed. "Shut up!" she said. Beyond laughed rudely and looked out the window. "You put a lot of thought into breaking me out of jail. I didn't even know you knew how to hack into files like that and not leave a trace. You said you killed someone too, you've really changed. When I was around, you were just a teen helping me with little task because you adored me."
"I didn't adore you," she exclaimed. "I was simply doing so because I wanted to change and I had nothing better to do. This way things are more exciting." Beyond snickered as she told him that.
"Truth be told," she began, "As soon as I found out you were arrested, I started my plan to bail you out. Then, I heard of Kira and how he was 'passing judgement' on the evil. He's killing criminals and even people who've committed light crimes. He thinks he's helping the world but he's just another bias murderer blinded by reality. I felt you were in danger, so that made me want to save you even more. I don't know if L had gathered this information yet but I've come up with this assumption: Kira needs a name and face to kill. So I hacked in the files and erased all your information."
Beyond sighed annoyingly, leaning back onto the uncomfortable couch. "You've bust me out of jail, with all that in mind, what do you plan on doing now?" he asked. Juliet walked up to he broken window. "If you ask me," she said, looking at the ocean as each wave crashed onto the soft sand. "Kira deserves to be punished, he's no different than us, than murderers..."
Juliet looked back at Beyond, the sun shining on her. "Maybe we could start another murder case for L and Kira to solve. I'm sure Kira would butt in. If we don't get killed, then we've proved to be criminals that Kira couldn't catch, the both of us. B and J, the two greatest murderers."
Beyond saw a sort of sparkle in her eyes he's never seen in them before. Beyond then started laughing. "You've sure changed Juliet, I'm going with your plan. I wouldn't mind murdering people again, this time with a partner to share them with. You've got a deal Juvie Julie."
Juliet pouted, seeing as he used his old pet name for her as for when he met her, she was a juvenile and her name was Juliet, so he often made fun of her by calling her Juvie Julie
(pronounced joo-vee joo-lee).
"So it's now L vs. Kira vs. B.J., such a nice combination."
Well that's how the story plot starts, a battle between a criminal, a detective, and a college student. How is that going to go, stay tune~
