I've been working on this chapter for a while now, so I hope it makes sense and it's all new :) Thank you for the Reviews, Favorites, Alerts and to the unknown people who read my story too.

I thought I'd mention that I've rewritten all of Beyond This Love, it's all shiny new lol

I hope you enjoy this chapter, it's a long one :)

You struggled as the grip of the person's hand tightened around your wrist, you dug your finger nails with your free hand into the arm of the person and heard the person let out a quiet yelp of pain. The person let go of your wrist, you quickly scramble towards the wardrobe's doors and pushed one of them wide open. You fell forward out of the wardrobe with a thud onto your chest, you slowly crawled out of it and rested your forehead on the wooden floor.

You quietly groaned to yourself as you cupped your hands together, you held them against your chest and closed your eyes tightly. You gently rolled onto your side as you heard footsteps shuffling along the floor towards you, you pulled your knees to your chest and opened one of your eyes.

' Are you alright?' You heard a male's voice asked quietly.' It looked like it hurt when you fell out of the wardrobe...'

You opened your other eye as you shared at pair of black leather boots in front of you, you slowly looked up at a hooded person and focused on their face. The person shared down at you with a smirk on his lips, you smiled weakly at him and rolled onto your back as you let out a sigh of relief.

' Mello? Is that you?' You asked quietly, you leant on your arm and quickly sat up as you whispered to him.' There is someone in the wardrobe...'

' Yeah, who else would it be?' Asked Mello, he crouched next to you and placed his hand on your shoulder as he pointed his gun towards the wardrobe.' You seem to be in one piece at least, who's in the wardrobe?'

' I... I don't know...' You answered, you looked over towards the wardrobe and pulled your knees to your chest as you whispered to Mello.' It could be him...'

' Beyond Birthday?' Asked Mello, he got up from the floor next to you and looked over at the wardrobe as he took a step towards it as he frowned.' It can't be him, me and Matt saw him leave the Bench House. We made sure he was long gone before we made a move, so the question is who's in the wardrobe?'

' What are going to do?' You asked.

' Sketch, stay where you are and don't move...' Answered Mello.

You quickly got up from the floor, you grabbed hold of Mello's arm and stopped him before he took another step towards the wardrobe.' Where's Matt? I don't think you should...'

' Sketch!' Interrupted Mello, he shooed your hand away from his arm and frowned at you as he gently pushed you behind him.' Just stay behind me and let me deal with this! You always make the simplest things twice as hard!'

' But haven't done...' You muttered.

' What did I just say?!' Shouted Mello, he roughly grabbed hold of your wrist as he turned around to face you and glared at you.' You never listen to me! You endanger your life by leaving the safety of the Hotel with that fucking murdering psychopath! We don't even know how you got out of your room!'

' Mello, you're hurting me...' You whimpered.

' Shut up and hear me out!' Frowned Mello, he pulled your closer towards him and rested the barrel of his gun against the side of your head.' You're irresponsible, reckless, irritating and nothing but a burden to us all!'

' M-M-Mello, please...' You stuttered, you stared into Mello's blue eyes as your bottom lip began to tremble and took a sharp breath.' You're s-s-scaring me...'

' Now you know how I felt when I found you gone!' Frowned Mello, he removed the barrel of his gun from the side of your head and let go of your wrist.' Don't you ever do anything stupid like this again or I'll...'

' Mells! What the fuck do you think you're doing?!' You heard a panicked voice say from the bedroom's doorway.' Did you just get your menstrual cycle early or something?!'

You looked over towards the bedroom's doorway, you saw Matt standing in the doorway with a look of horror across his face and a lit cigarette hanging from his mouth. You watched as Matt walked into the room, he took a drag of his cigarette and stopped next to you.

' You alright there Granny?' Asked Matt, he looked you up and down as he removed his cigarette from his lips.' Looks like the Big Bad Wolf just got here just in time to save you from Goldilocks...'

' Big bad wolf?' You asked quietly, you wrapped your arms around yourself and turned your attention back to Mello as you trembled.' I...'

' More like little Red Riding Hood...' Smirked Mello, he looked over his shoulder at the wardrobe and sighed deeply.' Sketch, stay where you are this time...'

' Shouldn't we be making a move before Beyond Birthday gets back?' Asked Matt, he took another drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke in Mello's direction. ' We've got no clue how long he'll be gone for and we need to get out here...'

' Sketch told me that there was someone inside the wardrobe with her...' Answered Mello, he turned his attention back towards you and pulled down the hood on his coat.' It needs to be investigated...'

' Do it quickly then...' Sighed Matt.

' And Sketch, don't move this time...' Frowned Mello.

You slightly nodded your head as you watched Mello turned around to face the wardrobe, he pointed his gun towards the wardrobe and slowly walked over towards it. You jumped when you felt a soft hand touch your shoulder and heard Matt speaking softy to you.

' Are you okay?' Asked Matt.

' Yeah...' You answered quietly as you watched Mello stop in front of the opened door of the wardrobe and sniffled.' I'll be fine...'

' Matt!' Called Mello, he glanced over his shoulder at Matt and beckoned him with his hand.' A little help here!'

' Alright...' Sighed Matt.

You watched Matt walked over towards the wardrobe, he pulled his gun from the back of his blue jeans and took another drag of his cigarette. He flicked his cigarette butt to the floor, he stopped next to Mello and held the barrel of his guns towards the wardrobe.

' Ready...' Nodded Matt.

You watched as Mello quickly opened the other door to the wardrobe, you gasped as an old bound man fell forward out of the wardrobe onto the floor and you quickly rushed over towards him.

' I know him!' You yelled, you stopped in front of the old man and looked down at him on the floor as you slightly bent over him.' I mean in photographs downstairs on the wall, him and his wife... children...'

' Are you sure?' Asked Mello as he helped Matt rolled the old man onto his back and stood up straight. ' He's been badly beaten...'

' I'm possessive...' You answered, you stood up straight and looked over at Mello as you spoke quietly to him.' Beyond Birthday told me that they went for a swim...'

' Shit...' Frowned Matt, he took a Swiss Army knife from his pocket of cream-colored sleeveless vest and crouched next to the old man as he put his gun into the back of his jeans.' Poor guy, he doesn't look good...'

' This raises matters of where his wife is...' Said Mello quietly.

' Do want to look for her?' Asked Matt.

' No, that's not our mission...' Answered Mello, he closed one of the wardrobe's doors and sighed.' Check if he his still alive, if so we'll be taking him with us...'

' And what if he's not breathing?' You asked, you knelt next to the old man and watched Matt cutting the ropes that bound his wrists together.' We can't just leave him here, that would be inhumane... '

' There is no point of taking a corpse with us, he would just slow us down if he's dead...' Sighed Mello, he glanced at you and then looked down at Matt. ' Matt, what's the situation with him?'

' Well, he looks pretty dead to me...' Answered Matt, he threw the cut rope over his shoulder and placed the old man's hands down by his sides.' Sketch, do us a favor and check for this guys pulse...'

' Okay...' You said quietly, you gently placed your finger tips on the old man's right wrist and felt for his pulse.' I can't feel his pulse, I think he's dead...'

' Then who grabbed you?' Asked Mello, he looked back into the wardrobe and gently kicked at a black bin bag with the tip of his boot as he tilted his head.' You must have imagined it...'

' But someone grabbed me!' You answered.

' Sketch, you very well know corpses don't grab people unless they're the living dead...' Sighed Matt, he got up from the floor and put his Swiss Army knife back into his vest pocket.' It just doesn't make sense, are you high or something?'

' No, but I...' You answered.

' We're leaving!' Interrupted Mello, he stepped over the old man's body and made his way towards the bedroom's doorway.' We've lingered here to long, it's not safe!'

' What's wrong?' You asked.

' Just don't ask questions and just follow me!' Answered Mello as he walked through the bedroom's doorway and glanced at you both over his shoulder.' And I mean now!'

You got up from next to the old man, you slowly walked past him and followed after Mello. You glanced at Matt as he walked past you, you grabbed hold of his striped top's sleeve and quickened your walking pace to match his as you both walked through the bedroom's doorway.

' Mells! Wait up!' Shouted Matt as he pulled his gun from the back of his jeans and rushed along the corridor after Mello. ' Keep up Sketch!'

You let go of Matt's sleeve and chased after him down the corridor. You turned a right down another corridor, you saw Mello turn left ahead of you and quickened your running pace. You turned left where Mello had turned, you saw Matt standing at the top of a staircase next to Mello and quickly walked down three steps that led down towards them.

' What's wrong?' You asked.

' Can you smell petrol?' Asked Matt, he stopped you at the top of the staircase with his hand and looked down the staircase.' I don't remember there being any carpet running up these stairs either...'

' Somethings not right...' Answered Mello quietly.

' Of course, something is very wrong...' You heard a creepy low voice say from near the bottom of the staircase with a chuckle.' The game is just beginning, it will be fun...'

' It's him!' You gasped.

' I'm surprised that you still recognize my voice my dear, you've been asleep for nearly 2 days now...' Chuckled the voice.

' Beyond Birthday!' Shouted Mello, he pointed his gun down the staircase and frowned as he rested his finger against the trigger of his gun.' Show yourself!'

You watched as Beyond partly clawed from a dark corner near the staircase, he stopped at the other end of the red carpet and got up from the floor. He put one of his hands into his blue baggy jean pockets as he tilted his head, he smirked and took a silver lighter from his pocket.

' I see you've both recovered from the little incident in the lift...' Chuckled Beyond, he placed his finger tip on his bottom lip and smirked.' At least you both lived to tell the tale, unlike some people I've had the pleasure of acquaintance with...'

' Shut up!' Snarled Mello, his gripped tightened around the hilt of his gun as he glared at Beyond and spoke through his teeth at him.' I'm warning you!'

' Mells!' Frowned Matt, he placed his hand on Mello's arm and lower it as he slightly shook his head at him.' Don't rise to him, that's what he wants...'

' Easy now Mihael Keehl!' Chuckled Beyond, he flicked the lid of his silver lighter open and smirked as he lit it.' We wouldn't want any uncalled for accidents to happen now would we? The carpet running up the staircase between us is soaked in petrol. One false move and the consequence could be dire ...'

' If you drop that lighter I'll blow your god damn brains out!' Snarled Mello, he pointed the barrel of his gun back towards Beyond and frowned at him as he stepped down one of the steps of the staircase.' I mean it!'

' If you shoot me, then I'll drop the lighter...' Smirked Beyond, he held the silver lighter out in front of him and chuckled as he beckon at you with his finger.' Don't move or I'll make it very toasty in here, all I want is my little apprentice back...'

' What do you mean by apprentice?' Asked Matt, he lowered his gun and looked at you over his shoulder as he looked at you curiously.' Are you two in cahoots?'

' What?!' You answered, you took a step closer towards Matt and slightly shook your head at him as you frowned.' No! How could you think that?! I would never...'

' You did go with him willingly...' Interrupted Matt.

' To save you both!' You frowned.

' Falling out already?' Chuckled Beyond.

' Shut the hell up!' Shouted Mello, he took another step down the staircase and spoke through his teeth at Beyond again.' You will not manipulate anyone else today!'

' Impressive words...' Smirked Beyond.

' Mells, don't provoke him!' Frowned Matt, he grabbed hold of Mello's arm and pulled him back up the two steps as he took hold of the sleeve of your nightgown.' We'll find another way out of here...'

' That's right my dear Wammy students, run and cower in fear!' Chuckled Beyond, he took a step back away from a red petrol soaked carpet in front of him and smirked.' Let's make this more challenging, let's see how you cope in situations where you have a limited time to escape...'

You watched in horror as Beyond dropped his lit silver lighter onto the petrol soaked carpet, your eyes grew wide as orange flames began to trail up the carpet on the staircase towards you and the boys. You felt yourself being dragged backwards by your arms up the three steps that led towards the corridor by Matt and Mello.

' Run!' Shouted Matt.

You ran with Matt and Mello back down the corridor where you had came from before. You turned right down a corridor, you followed them back in the bedroom you had been held in and jumped when Mello slammed the bedroom door behind you. You watched Matt pulling at the planks of wood that were used to board the window up, you took a few steps forward and felt Mello tap your shoulder with his hand as he walked past you.

' What are we doing back here?' You asked as you walked behind Mello towards the wardrobe and sighed.' The whole room is sealed, I check it myself more than twice ...'

' She should know Mells...' Said Matt, he banged at one of the planks with his fist and looked at you both over his shoulder as he frowned.' The room is sealed tight, we're trapped...'

' Then you both haven't check this room probably...' Answered Mello, he stopped in front of the wardrobe and took a metal crowbar from it.' Observation, you should both try using it sometime...'

You watched Mello walk over towards the boarded up window, he placed the tip of the crowbar in a gap between two wooden planks and forcefully pushed one of the planks upwards. You looked over your shoulder at some smoke coming from underneath the door, you heard a loud cracking noise and turned you attention back to the window.

' If I can remove these planks from this window it will lead us out onto the porch roof, we can easily climb down from there...' Grunted Mello as he pulled part of a broken wooden plank away from the window and threw it to the floor.' I saw large trellis planter that connected from the porch roof to a flower bed near the foot path we used to get to the Beach House and...'

' I think you should hurry!' You interrupted, you rushed over towards the window and pulled at one of the planks of wood boarding up the window.' There is smoke coming underneath the door!'

' Agreed!' Nodded Matt, he grabbed at the plank of wood you were pulling at and helped you to pull it away from the window.' Come on Mells! We need some more man power!'

' Fine...' Sighed Mello.

Mello dropped the crowbar to the floor, he grabbed one of the wooden planks and helped you both to pulled it away from the window. It was not long before the rest of the planks were removed from the window, you watched as Mello quickly unlocked the window and opened it wide.

' Right, who's going first?' Asked Matt.

' I'll go first!' Answered Mello.

You watched as Mello climbed through the opened window, you covered up your mouth and coughed as you watched Matt climb through the window next. You looked back towards the bedroom's door, you watched the dark thick smoke creeping underneath the gap between the door and the wooden floor.

' Alright, you're next Sketch!' You heard Matt say.' Now would be good! It's getting smoky in there!'

' Okay!' You coughed as you turned your attention back to Matt and began to climb through the opened window.

' Damn! We're on the wrong side of the Beach House!' Shouted Mello.

' So, what are we going to do now then?' Asked Matt as he helped you through the bedroom window and looked over at Mello walking to the edge of the porch roof.' There is no other way down from here, unless we're going to jump for it...'

' That could work!' Said Mello, he looked over at you both over his shoulder and smirked.' I don't think it would that hurt much...'

' Are you insane?!' Asked Matt.

' We've got no choice but to jump!' Frowned Mello, he stood at the edge of the porch roof and looked down at the sandy ground below.' It's only a few feet, we'll be perfectly fine!'

' How many feet?' You asked, you placed your feet down on the porch roof and walked over towards Mello.' How do you know if we'll be perfectly fine?'

' Trust me...' Answered Mello.

' What if one of us hurts ourselves?' You asked, you stopped near the edge of the porch roof next to Mello and cover up your mouth as you coughed again.' It could be dangerous...'

' Yeah, what if I break something?' Asked Matt, he stopped next to you at the edge of the porch floor and peeped over the edge of it.' I've got limits Mells and my PSP in my back pocket!'

' That's a chance I'm willing to take...' Answered Mello, he looked over at you and Matt as a smirk crept across his face.' After 3, 1... 2...'

' 3!' Shouted Matt.

You let out a squeal as Matt quickly grabbed you around your waist, he gave Mello a slight nod and jumped from the roof of the porch. You landed on the sandy ground with a thud on your knees, you whined as you fell forward onto the sand and felt Matt's body weight on top of you.

' Oh god that hurt!' Groaned Matt, he rested his forehead on your shoulder and coughed.' Are you okay Sketch?'

' I think so...' You said quiet, you turned your head to the side and watched Mello getting up from the sand near you as you took a few deep breaths.' I ache all over...'

' That's probably because you've had that fat lump land on top of you...' Smirked Mello, he picked his gun from the sand and looked up at the burning white wooden Beach House.' We need to move! The Beach House could collapse at any moment!'

' Give me a moment Mells!' Coughed Matt, he took a deep breath and lifted his forehead from your shoulder.' My lungs are burning here, too much smoke...'

' That's called chain smoking you dumb ass...' Sighed Mello, he kicked some sand at Matt and frowned as he picked his opened chocolate bar up from the sand.' You've had your moment, now get up!'

' Okay, okay!' Whined Matt.

' Matt, I can't breath!' You gasped from underneath Matt, you placed your hands on the sand and tried to get up from under him.' Get off me now!'

' I'm sorry...' Sighed Matt, he climbed off you and held his hand out down towards you with a concerted look on his face.' Are you okay?'

' My ribs hurt...' You answered, you took hold of Matt's and coughed as he helped you up from the sand.' I just want to get out of here...'

' Well, let's get moving then before the law enforcement turn up!' Shouted Mello, he put his gun in his pistol hold inside his coat and began to walk off along the beach as he looked back over his should at you both.' We'll make base at that Lighthouse over there and make a move when everything as quietened down. I need to contacted L and let him know that Sketch is safe...'

' Okay, come on!' Smiled Matt as he led you behind him by your hand and followed after Mello.
