A/N. On this the humor part ends and the creepy part starts. OvO
THIRD POV
He told B that L will be waiting at he closest door. So killer threw the empty jar into the closest trash bin, and nearly ran to that door. Opened it and looked up at L.
"Yes, B? Lonely? To hot? Feel trapped? I can fix anything."
There was a barely hearable sarcasm in his voice. But Beyond ignored it, not time' to argue.
"Do you have a list of possible holograms?"
"Yes, including their pictures and names."
There was some confusion in L's voice now.
"Can I see it? Actually can I see the list of all holograms that look like 12 year old girls?"
L nods and pulls out his phone, finds the lists and puts the phone in front of B, who scrolls through it and sighs.
"She is not here. I doubt it was a glitch though."
"Who isn't there? Glitch?"
L tilt his head to the side a little bit, as he usually does when he is confused.
"I walked past a little girl on the street. Red hair, blue eyes, green dress. She was holding a toy. white kitten. I saw her name and lifespan, but I don't remember them. I usually try not to pay attention to them. It's normal for me to see them, so I didn't think it was strange, But then I realized that holograms don't have them!"
B look up at L worriedly.
"Then I ran back. She was supposed to be right around the corner..."
"But wasn't there? I didn't put numbers and names to appear, I didn't program lifespan at all, Beyond. So this is a real person... but how?"
"I-I don't know. She wasn't even walking, when I went past her, didn't speak. Just was standing there. I guess you don't have cameras in there?"
"No. I thought you wouldn't like them, plus there'd hardly be a use in them."
"Well, that would be the only proof of what I didn't start hallucinating. " B mumbles quietly and L doesn't hear him. Then says normally again. "Do you think I should search it?"
"Search? Its a lot to search. You can try searching some buildings. They can't go inside homes-but since she is not a hologram, try every building you can, I'll look at the roads."
"Okay. I saw a mechanical dog in there. Is it possible to put a camera on it? And give it a program to run everywhere and into each house?"
"Yes, I can take out the holograms too, to make it easier. And there is five more dogs which weren't put in."
L took the phone laying in front of B and tap a few buttons on the screen going to dog's programing, and holograms.
"That would be even better."
Actually B was a little bit scared to go back in there alone. And even if mechanical dog's couldn't count as a real company, they still were better then nothing. Detective nodded and went to his dresser, taking out five real-looking dogs and a bird, turning them on. The bird wouldn't last long through, only about an hour. Then he programed dog at the different areas. B opens the door and L lets dogs inside.
"I'm going to pick you up to show where you will be searching."
"Good. And I suggest to watch the tapes from the cameras in this room. Because that just might explain how this.. girl got here."
"Sure, but I've been here. Maybe she crawled under the door..but how did she get on the table?"
"I don't know. And I don't like this at all."
"Nor do I. I will leave one hologram to follow you around, so you can ask for me."
L picked him up, and B instinctively griped his finger. He set killer on the glass above the coastline.
"See that shack? You will be checking along the coastline. I'll have a bird check from above too."
"Along the coastline."
"Exactly."
Detective picked B up again and set to the door closest to the B's search area.
"What is something happens? Oh, and is there any way to record what I'm seeing? I doubt you have a mini camera though. "
"No. Should I have a bird to follow you?"
"No, I will be fine then."
"No, it will follow you. It will be better that way. "
L reprogram the bird and made one hologram to follow B. It was a blonde boy, around 13. With that Beyond when inside the place which started to seem dangerous, and L looked at the roads from above, mostly around area seven, where B saw the girl.
POV BEYOND BIRTHDAY
I walk to the shack and search in it, then start walking along the coast line, looking into every house and place where she can hide. After a while I started hearing a light footsteps behind me. Not the footsteps holograms made. They were real. Like a child going on the sand. A child. Following me.
My blood ran cold. I stopped and quickly turned around. Footsteps stop. But there was no one behind me. I take a deep breath. I'm safe. She is just a little girl, if thats her in the first place... Then I realized something, the hologram which was following me around disappeared. Fear squeezed my heart. I gulp and look at the sky.
"L?! Why did hologram disappear? "'
I didn't notice his disappearance earlier. This was getting really freaky. Apparently L didn't hear me, but noticed me looking at the sky. So the bird flew closer and there was a sound, like a microphone was been turn on.
"Beyond, are you okay?"
His voice sounds worrying.
"Where is that hologram you send to follow me around? I don't see it. But I remember it was around when I checked first ten houses."
"I don't see it either... It auto destruct..."
I froze. A moment of silence, to unnatural silence. It was pressuring on me. The fear that released my heart while I hoped that the hologram just became invisible, clenched its claws tighter. I quickly walk faster to the door I entered through.
"Someone is following me. And I can't see who that is."
"There is a small toy kitten in front of the jam store.. I don't want you in here anymore."
"Did you send a dog to check inside the warehouse?"
"Not yet, I will."
Suddenly I felt somebody watching me, somebody except L. It was sort of curious look, like if that person was trying to understand me just by watching. I quickly tell myself to calm down and thats just my imagination, nothing more.
"Are you almost at the exit?"
"Nearly there."
"Hurry, I don't like this."
"Like I do."
I mumbled to myself and nearly ran up to the door and stormed out, then slammed the door shut behind me. The intense stare stops. Clicking of the lock. Safe.
THIRD POV
B leaned against the door as he slammed it shut. Detective picks B up carefully and locks the door.
"I was worried. She can't get out. The doors are all locked. You aren't going in there again."
"She got in there somehow without us noticing her. Then she disappeared. You really think the locked doors will stop her?"
Beyond reminded of the terrifying truth, holding onto L's shirt now, as detective held him close.
"I don't sleep. I'll watch over you 24/7. We'll find her, I promise."
"She might not be only after me.."
L nodded, that is possible, but since she is tiny its most likely that she is after B.
"The dogs are still searching, right?"
"Yes. Do you want to watch?"
Detective cradled B in his hands and after a nod went to the bed where his laptop stood. He sat down and pulled laptop in front of him, then set B in front of the laptop. Killer seared for the dog in the warehouse, he finds it quickly. The warehouse is empty.
"Can you show me the video the bird was filming while it was following me?"
"Yes." With a few clicks he pulled up the video." she can't hurt you as long as I'm here."
"I noticed that. As soon as you looked over at m-"
Beyond suddenly stops talking and stares at the screen with wide eyes. The cause of that was that the hologram which followed him disappeared and for a mere second was replaced by a red-haired girl. Who glanced at the camera and disappeared.
"How can she just disappear like that?"
"You think I know?! After that I hear light footsteps behind me... They stopped when I turned around. "
B quickly skipped back to the moment when girl appeared. And stopped it when they could see her face.
"Could it be her fault that you're small?"
"I don't know. I never saw her before."
Actually something was telling him he did, but he couldn't remember anything connected to her.
"Why would she do this? And why is she small?"
"I'm going to find that out."
"Even if we catch her, she may disappear."
L sighed. That was frustrating to understand that he is somewhat powerless.
"She can... We can't catch her on camera?And I want to see that white kitten closer, can we see it its still there?"
Beyond moved away from the keyboard and L picked him up, going to the glass lid.
"Why? Do you recognize it?"
"Not really. Counting that I saw it only once."
As they went close to the lid, B bit his lip.
"Do I have to go back inside to get it?"
"I didn't think to make the lid to come off..do you need it?"
By L's tone it was obvious what he was nervous about that.
"I feel like I have to take a closer look at it, of course if you can make a dog to bring it here, it will be perfect, because I don't really want to go there, and as I see you don't want to let me in either. "
B looked back at the laptop, strangely the bed behind it seemed darker, like of the screen was shut off.
"That would be much safer.."
L nodded, and went back to the bed. But as he sat in front of it, detective gasped.
"No..."
"What happened?"
Beyond stared at the screen. At the not lighten up screen. There were no videos of dogs' 'visions' of what they are 'looking' at. L growled as he tried to turn the screen back on.
"Well...they... it isn't showing them. Not even saying that they auto destructed. They just disappeared."
"I don't like this, but I have to get that toy. I have a feeling its important. "
"Fine. Just..be careful. I..don't want to lose you."
"I will."
B nods and acts as if he didn't notice L pecking the top of his head. L brings killer back to the door closest to the warehouse and hesitates for a long moment before unlocking it and letting B in.
A/N I like writing POV of scared people. . And I actually don't think there will be any more humor in here for future chapters.
