(Beyond P.O.V)

A few Weeks earlier.

The numbers were all declining. It was so fast I almost didn't catch it the first time around. Men who were to be dead in years to come, suddenly were scheduled to die in a few weeks. It didn't look right, not in the slightest.

I knew I was one of them too. I knew I was going to be another one of them. I was going to die before my actual time. Which is why I had to tell him. Why I had to see L

I had kept quiet my first few months in prison. I still managed to anger my guards by throwing sneers and toothy grins at them. I knew they thought I was creepy. I had loved that about me. But when I started seeing criminals lifespan deplete number by number in a matter of seconds, I started to speak up.

I had begged to see L. To see Wammy. They hadn't listened to me though until I grabbed a guard by the throat with my chains and held him hostage. It wasn't until then that they contacted Wammy and was informed he'd be arriving within the next few days. I kept that guard as my prisoner until then, not taking any chances.

When he did show up, I let the guard go unharmed. Thankfully, none of the other guards did anything while in Wammy's sights.

L was with him, under another name which I cannot remember, and he didn't seem pleased at all.

"Beyond, what is the meaning of this!?" He exclaimed at me through the bars of my cell.

I got closer to him, my hands resting on the bars. "They're going to die! We all are! Something's happening here!" I then looked at his name and numbers. His had changed as well. This force was going to kill him too.

"Beyond. What is going on?"

I dropped to my knees. This wasn't happening. Whoever this was…

Yes, I hated L… but I still loved him.

It's why I hated him so much. Even though he was the one that got A killed… I still loved and respected him as my mentor.

And even he would die by this unforeseen force.

L kneeled beside me. "Beyond?"

I looked up at him. "This is the work of a shinigami. A god of death. He will make his mark on this world and kill all of us. Including me." I sunk lower now. "Please. Don't forget me."

I felt him put a hand on my shoulder but I backed away. I didn't want to see him anymore. I just wanted him to know.

Before he stood up, I quietly whispered his name. His real name. I heard a small gasp escape his lips at this. It was another minute before he stood from his spot… and was gone.

During my time in prison, I had lapses of my second nature. I wanted to kill and rip my enemies to pieces. I wanted to break bones and feel what it was like to be a god of death once again. It was what I was born to do. Or so my mother said.

But when I saw L, for that final time. I was human again. I wasn't Beyond Birthday or Ryuzaki. I was B. I was Backup again.

I still hated L for A's death. But I still loved him. Just as much as Mello, Matt, and Near did. I hated to love him, and I loved to hate him. It was complex and frightening… but it was all there.

I sit here now, writing my final moments. Well, those I can remember. The guards are watching me closely. But they don't have to worry. I won't attack. I've accepted my fate, and will gladly welcome it. I doubt I'll go where Adrian is. I doubt I'll go to heaven either. Though, I was born of a god of death and a human. I doubt I could go to hell either. So then… where am I going?

I estimate my time of death will be in the next few days. If not, tomorrow. Whoever this guy is, whoever will be the one behind all these deaths; I know L will find him. If not him… then one of his successors, whomever he chose.

For now, I wait.

Farewell, my fellow readers. I hope you've enjoyed my history. There shan't be more.

A/N: And thus, we end Beyond's P.O.V. But there will be more to come in this story. I promise.
