EDIT: edit ._.

A/N: I just ripped an empty Coke can in half.

It was epic.

Weird, but epic.

I'D LIKE TO SEE BACON ON A REALITY SHOW. I'D LIKE TO SEE RANDOM PEOPLE TRY TO VOTE BACON OFF AN ISLAND. BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DO IT. BECAUSE IT'S MOTHAFUKIN BACON.

...Because all that was extremely relevant.

Sarcasm in this chappie? O.o ._.

Believe it or not, this short lil chappie has lots of significance... even with as off-topic and random as it may seem.


TIME UNTIL AISLINN'S DEATH DATE: TWO MONTHS 20 DAYS - DECEMBER 16TH, 1997


By the time Beyond stopped running about an hour later, he had no idea where he was. He could no longer feel his face, and his feet and hands were starting to turn blue. He shivered, looking around for someplace warm.

He saw one.

It was a simple, probably family-owned Chinese restaurant, which was slightly odd to see in Winchester. But Beyond didn't much care about where or how he got warm, he just didn't want to freeze to death.

Instead of going through the front, he went to the back door. Because there's always a back door. He couldn't help but smirk to himself. And besides, even if he did go through the front, he wasn't sure he would be welcome. As he slowly the ice-cold door handle, Beyond found that it was unlocked. He smirked. How stupid could they be?

Silently he slid the door open just enough for him to be able to slip through the gap between the door and the frame. Inside it was bright and warm, and he was in a white walled, white tiled kitchen. It was immaculate, and entwined with the scents of varying Chinese foods he could smell the fumes of cleaning products. He glanced toward the door to the part of the restaurant most people saw. The walls were a rich red, with oriental-style pictures everywhere. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, bending and reflecting light, and the floor of the room was carpeted with a red and gold fabric, with more oriental designs. The door to the kitchen was directly behind the buffet, and past that were booths and seated tables.

Suddenly Beyond heard rumble, and he looked down, blushing an even jollier shade of bright red. He glanced around, making sure no one was around, then crept over to the door to the front of the restaurant. He slipped out, seeing that the buffet was still half-filled with food. They must be taking the food out right now... He crouched behind the buffet table, standing up just enough to be able to see what was available.

Mostly it was varying vegetable mixes and chicken; they didn't even have the lo mein out anymore. He sighed, then saw something on the other end of the table. He crept over.

Is that- Maybe- There's no way... They have jam.

Eagerly he reached for the bowl of jam, but then his eyes caught on a strange pastry to the left of the container. The were round, about the size of his fists, and were covered in sugar.

Chinese donuts.

He'd heard of them before, but he'd never actually had one.

He grabbed one with his now only slightly cold-flushed hand and took a bite. It tasted... weird. Like a cross between a biscuit and a donut. But it was delicious. He slathered some of the jam over the pastry and took another bite. Even better.

He heard some scuffling in the back and ducked down, waiting as one of the workers in a white apron took another bin of food. When he left, Beyond eyed the room until he saw a bin filled with bags for take-out. He ran over and snatched one, then ran back to the buffet table and put all the Chinese donuts in the bag. He wanted to take the jam, for it was sweeter than what they had back at the orphanage, but he couldn't find a container to put it in.

As silently as he had come he slipped out the back door once again, making a run for The Wammy House.
