A/N Well hello... this took longer then others to write. My summer band had started, and I'm very tired after it, so thats one of the reasons, aside from returning to US week ago, or so. And some of the time took me being lazy.
Disclaimer is in the first chapter, but I own the red-haired girl and white kitten. XD
POV BEYOND BIRTHDAY
I ran straight to the warehouse. Scanning the area in the search of the white kitten, or... red haired girl, but its good if I could see only the former, but I couldn't see any. Warehouse seems colder then its suppose to be and empty, to empty for my liking now. But luckily no footsteps or starring, except for L's. I like it more like this actually then with light footsteps following me around.
I saw the kitten laying inside the warehouse. I did't like this, defiantly didn't. L said it was outside not inside. L won't be able to warn me once I'm inside. I froze in the doorway, then carefully went in. Walked closer to the toy. A small white stuffed kitten with blue eyes and a bright red ribbon tied around its neck, how I didn't notice it earlier?
I walk closer and pick it up. Instantly I felt that stare again. The empty room with a big storage fridges started to seem dangerous. Even more then it already was. It became colder as if all the fridges were opened at the same time.
I stormed out of the warehouse, and ran to the door. Fling the door open, ran out and slammed it shut, falling against it and sliding down.
"Didn't know L can swear."
I mumbled hearing L.
POV L
the same time B walked in to the warehouse
I watch him walking into warehouse. Didn't know what someone's safety can worry me so much. I'm scared, and at the same time I'm not the one in danger. I saw how B walked into warehouse. Want to call him back out. I can't see what is happening inside.
Couple seconds later, which lasts like forever, B storms out of the warehouse and rans to the door. I quickly opened it. My heart was pounding loudly and adrenaline rushing through my veins. I realized what I was swearing only after B pointed it out.
I quickly stopped swearing and picked B up with sweaty hand. Finally stopped shaking and locked the door.
THIRD POV
B looks at the toy in his hands more closely. Simple stuffed animal at the first glance after more close look... still a simple stuffed animal. Nothing unusual. You can see those in toy stores.. bigger in size through.
"All for that toy?"
L sigh and hold B close to his heart, which was still beating rapidly. And made B wonder why L was scared for him, or was he actually scared, or it just seemed like that?
"I had a feeling its important."
B leaned against L's chest and tried to push down a yawn, but failed. Stress really wears out.
"I see... I'm exhausted from all this stress. Should we go to sleep? Not like you will get any smaller now. "
"Not smaller for sure. "
Killer chuckled lightly as an answer to that tease and a dark and tense aura around them seemed to lighten. L nodded and walked to the bed, setting B on the edge of it while pulling out safety railing. The kitten was set on the nightstand, B had to reach up to do that. Safety railing was bought earlier and was used so L won't accidentally crash B while they sleep. Beyond stares at the kitten for some time, before actually falling asleep.
Time skip
next morning
POV BEYOND BIRTHDAY
Dream
I go through a darkness. Thick liquid under my feet. Blood, I understood as I looked down at dark red floor. I'm barefoot. Don't know what size I was. There is only darkness around me. And I could see the blood only couple of steps ahead in any direction, then it's darkness. And I just mindlessly went through it. I saw a light, a small light somewhere ahead. I went faster. Soon I'm already running to it, but it didn't seem to be any closer. Suddenly I was swallowed by complete darkness. I froze. Then heard light footsteps ahead. A candle was lighten up. I was in the old room now. It was slightly familiar, but I couldn't remember where I saw it before. But that's not what made me tense up and take a step back. It was a red haired girl standing in the center of the room. She had a candle in her right hand and a small white stuffed kitten in other, and was looking at me with lifeless blue eyes. Then she smiled, a small creepy grin. With her eyes it looked even scarier.
"See you soon."
Her mouth didn't move as she said that. The floor under my feet started crumpling and planks rotten with a abnormal speed. I fell down into the darkness again...
THIRD POV
B jerked up on the bed, panting heavily. And at first even didn't notice the difference. Difference being what everything was normal size again. He is naked again, because this time his clothes was just ripped apart. But that fact didn't stop him from glomping L, neither did the safety railing.
"Lawliet!"
"GAH! Beyond?!"
Detective jumps in surprise. For couple seconds not realizing what just happened. Only after those couple seconds realizing what B is not small anymore. Which was stated by killer's next words.
"I'm normal size again."
"Obviously."
Beyond lift up his head and smiled happily at L. Detective rolled them over and hugged B closer.
"No more scary girls and white kittens..."
B mumbled, and his sight fell upon a nightstand where the mentioned kitten was... OR was supposed to be, because it wasn't there.
"L, the kitten... Its gone."
"What? She can hurt you now."
L deadpanned and groaned.
"Maybe it just fell off the nightstand?"
They both knew it wasn't that, but B still suggested it.
"No. She escaped."
L sighed and hugged B protectively. Even if the girl was so small they both realized what there defiantly is some danger in her.
"We need to see how thats happened."
"Most likely will show black screen again, The dogs disappeared, remember? And the camera couldn't film her."
Beyond nodded sadly, maybe thats why he had that feeling of importance over the kitten. Can the girl make them think certain way? Maybe the kitten was the was for her to get out? Killer shook his head lightly, to much thoughts. They will find something later... hopefully.
A/N Well then this chapter is going to end on this 'happy' note. One chapter left plus epilog.
