A/N This will be the last actual chapter, except for epilog which I personally don't count as a chapter. Thank you everyone who alerted/favorited/reviewed this, I really appreciate that.


Month later


Girl continued terrifying L and B. Both of them heard light footsteps behind them when they were alone, sometimes staring and even three or two times each of them saw her. In a reflection, peeking from the corner or just standing on the opposite side of the hallway. She didn't give any hints at what she wants, nor why she is with them. Sometimes they found small white kitten laying in different places, neither of them touched it. B found out her name. Marica. He knew there were numbers, but still couldn't focus on them, or remember. As if he forgets about them the moment he stops looking. And all of that was pressuring more on already not-so-stable psychology of BB, and finally L decided to go on another walk.

Now they were going through an old park, they chose this park, because there for sure won't be many people and they won't be bothered. L was holding B's hand in his usual fashion, between his thumb and forefinger. Suddenly B froze and grip L's hand.

There was a playground on the left side of the sidewalk. It was old and rusty, slide had a hole in it, strange what this playground was here. But what made B freeze was a girl. Girl with red hair and in a green dress was sitting on the swings and watching her white kitten play with the leaf in front of her. Kitten didn't have a red bow around his neck and they were normal size, but its obviously were them.

"L..."

B whispered shocked. Girl looks up from the kitten at them and jumps off the swings landing on her bare feet. Her eyes are blue and look somewhat scared, but that didn't change the fact what B was wanting to turn around and run. Girl tried to pick up her kitten who meanwhile ran forwards us.

"Who are you?"

Marica asked quietly. B stopped griping L's hand and tried to look calm as he stuffed hands into his pockets. He felt some smooth material in his left pocket. Problem was what he didn't put anything in his pocket. Or at least doesn't remember doing so.

"I was going to ask that, but since you asked first. I'm B and he is L."

L gazed carefully at the girl. Not really expecting anything, after all what can he possibly expect? Marica cocked her head curiously, and looked down at the kitten who was rubbing against B's foot. Beyond resisted moving his leg away, and pulled out a red ribbon from his pocket, glanced at L.

"I didn't put it there. I have no such need to even own a ribbon. But I hardly believe we need to ask who it belongs to though. "

It was obvious what L wasn't surprised at such strange appearance. B looked down at the kitten then at the girl, then at the ribbon. After couple seconds he picked kitten up, Marica stepped forward eyeing him carefully. L shoved his hands into pockets, very alert as he watched B.

BB quickly tied a bow around kittens neck and set him down on the ground. Kittens sat down and looked at the girl, then stood up and ran to her, ran a circle around Marica and into the bushes on the other side of the playground.

"Beyond Birthday and L Lawliet?"

That sounded more like a statement then a question, but B and L realized what she just said only after girl fled into the bushes after the kitten.

"What?"

B was the first to speak. They both were looking at the bushes in shock.

"You don't think... She has the eyes too? Her eyes aren't red. I... don't understand any of this.."

And for the first time L didn't want to understand. Didn't actually want to know anything about that girl, didn't want to solve this.

"I don't know. I can see names and numbers, but not if humans have eyes or not... I doubt what she is a human actually."

"Not human? But then... what could she possibly be?"

"She can be a spirit, a ghost, or any other mystery creature. I can believe in anything now. Lets go back."

B sighed and head back away from the playground. L nodded and followed him.
"Remember we searched girl named Marica in every database there is? But we searched a girl that is alive and a human... Of course we couldn't find her.'

"She never did tell us who she is exactly."

"I doubt she would, or will. But she was outside the base."

"Yes. maybe we won't see her ever again?"

"I hope so."

They both hoped.


A/N Well this seems not ended, right? Thats why I'm writing an epilog!
