Hey, guys. Just so you know, this is my second Death Note fanfiction. My very first fanfiction was also Death Note. It's been deleted for a while... I'm not going to give details on what it's about, because it's terribly embarrassing for me to remember. Truly, my writing SUCKED BALLS (pardon my language).

I've lately been getting on a Death Note kick. I read a fanfiction with Beyond Birthday thrown in there, and since I read that, my plot bunnies have been coming out of hiding.

This story is pretty self-explanatory; BB goes to an asylum, along with Ever, my OC. I'm not going to tell any more, since I want to try to keep it a surprise, even though I doubt that it will stay a surprise.

Enjoy. Beyond sends you hugs and kisses. ;)

I scraped my knees when I was praying.

I found a demon in my safest haven.
Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts.

Beyond sat down, the slab of wood that was a chair pressing uncomfortably on his back. He looked around the court, eyeing each member's lifespans.

They were so close, yet so far.

Where he was going, there would be no way to get to them.

With the crimes he committed, he would either be locked up the rest of his life, or given the death sentence. There was no escaping it.

A growl rose up in his throat as he thought of the fact that he tried everything to prevent L from solving this case. He should have known that he would eventually do it.

The bang of a gavel shifted his attention from his thoughts to the court.

"We have come to a decision. The defendant has been deemed incompetent to continue," The judge shifted her gaze to Beyond, who's eyes were as wide as saucers. "He will be sent to Warner's Asylum in London, England. Case dismissed."

Beyond stood frozen. 'An...asylum? Incompetent to continue? What the hell does that mean? I'm not insane!' He thought frantically.

His lawyer tugged on his sleeve, smiling apologetically.

"How long?" He whispered.

"..." She stayed silent.

"How long?" He growled.

"...Life."

The small amount of hope that he had left fell.

The police escorted him out of the court and into the backseat of a car. 'This is it.' He thought as he looked out of the caged window.

EVER'S POV:

I curled into a ball on the ground, rocking back and forth. Their voices echoed around my head.

Look at her, she's pathetic.

Ha! I bet she couldn't even kill us like she killed those boys.

I remember that! Great entertainment!

I know, right?

"STOP!" I screamed, clutching my head. "Shut up! I'm not pathetic, and I didn't kill those boys!"

Keep telling that to yourself.

I felt the tears filling up my eyes. I tried my best to hold them back, but Grace and Corey kept taunting me. The needles ran through my veins, killing me from the inside-out.

"STOP! You're killing me!"

They just laughed.

Footsteps stopped outside of the door to my apartment. An elderly voice called out. "Hello? Is everything okay?"

She must have heard me screaming.

I looked up, my eyes wide. Shakily, I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a steak knife. I ran my hand over the gleaming edge, creating a large slice along my palm.

Why did I do that?

The blood ran over my fingers, landing on the carpet.

She knocked again.

I walked to the door, hearing the voices of Grace and Corey encouraging me to kill her. My hand rested on the knob, hesitating. Looking back at Corey and Grace, I opened the door.

She looked concerned, like she cared about me. I wanted to give into Corey and Grace, but I couldn't.

She saw the bloody knife in my hand, her eyes widening. Her mouth opened into a wordless scream, echoing around the apartment complex.

I couldn't do it. Not to an innocent old woman. I fell to my knees and sobbed. Then, out of nowhere, I heard the sirens. Shit. Am I going to jail? I didn't attack her...

The officer barged in, his gun raised.

Seriously, Ever? You know, you could have been more quiet. Then you could have killed her. Corey rolled his eyes.

The officer forced me up to my feet, while stuffing my hands into handcuffs. "You are under arrest for the assault and attempted murder of Anne Campbell."

"I-I..." A sob rose through my throat as I tried to explain myself. "It was them! It was Corey and Grace!"

The officer looked confused. "Who are they?"

I pointed to the corner where Grace and Corey stood, smirking. "Right there! Ca-Can-Can't you see them?"

He muttered something. "Schizophrenic."

"I'm not schizophrenic! I'm not crazy!"

Ignoring me, he looked at the woman. "Ma'am, are you okay?" She nodded her head, still shaking.

Another officer came in. "Sorry that I was late. What do we have here?"

"Um..." He looked at me. "A violent schizophrenic about to attack this woman."

The other officer leaned over to examine me: My ghostly pale skin and short, disheveled black hair. He raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"...What are we going to do with him?"

"I'm a girl for crying out loud." I hissed.

The officer ignored me once again. "That's for the court to decide."

I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I sat next to my lawyer. I could especially feel Corey and Grace's piercing glares.

The older woman was testifying against me. My body shook with fear. I had no clue what they would do to me. I gently tugged on the thin bandage wrapped around my hand. The doctors said that the wound will scar.

The judge hit the gavel. "The charges will be dropped, but on one condition," I looked at her curiously. "The defendant, Ever Kellis, will have to get her schizophrenia under control."

I opened my mouth to speak, but my lawyer nudged my arm. "Be quiet." She muttered.

"The defendant will have to stay at Warner's Asylum for at least ten years before she can be qualified to live outside of the asylum. It will be a 24/7 inpatient stay, complete with daily therapy groups. After ten years, we will check in and see if you qualify." She accentuated the 'if'. "Any questions?" She looked at both the old woman and I. "If not, case dismissed." She hit the gavel once again.

The next chapter will have them meet. I kind of wanted to get this first chapter over, since I really am excited to get into the story further.

Hope you enjoyed! R&R
