Inside The Mind

Chapter 14

LAURIE

"What the he'll are you really trying to accomplish here Dr.Mills. honestly". I had pulled the man into the hallway, absolutely not in a good mood. Was he trying to make Annabelle go to crazy, can't just spring it on her that Sarah and Marie aren't real people. They are in your mind.

"Daniels, lower your Voice. Be the adult I know you are and not the yelling grade school child you're trying to act like. You're getting observers". I scanned the room and he was right we had plenty of people looking our way, chief's office door locked up and empty. He must have gotten the impression he wasn't going to get a murderer locked up, I have to thank Dr.Mills for being on my side. But that can wait.

"Sir I just don't think it'll be safe opening that part of her mind, it's already powerful enough without her knowing".

"We must explore every option". I didn't like this idea at all. Not in the least bit. "You don't have to come back in, I'm sure one call to the Chief he'll tell you to step aside for a little while". This is true.

"Alright, but know I was against it". I opened the door and lead my way back into the room. Annabelle was sitting patiently twiddling her thumbs in her lap, her eyes glued to the door.

"Welcome back Laurie. You Okay "? Her whole being at this moment was So innocent and it made my heart yearn more to help her. I had to.

"Yes sweetie I am fine". I gave her a reassuring smile to ease suspicion and her tensed body let loose just a little.

"Can I go home soon"? Before I could answer her Dr.Mills jumped into the conversation.

"Dear, do you remember the questions I asked you"?

Annabelle rolled her eyes and I didn't hide my smirk, she had every right to roll them. "Yes sir, you asked me what my friends looked like".

"That's right. And is it true you and your friends hold similar attributes"? She peered at me for help, I didn't know what to do or say So I just avoided her eye contact.

"Well Yes. Our hair is Black and we all have the same shade of eyes".

"What about scars, moles or freckles"?

"Yes, a scar on our legs".

"And how did you all get your scars"?

"Well Sarah got it from a dog, Marie got hers from falling at the playground. And mine sir, mine came from my mother when she had enough of my Shit". I wanted to stop it all but I couldn't be pulled out, Annabelle needed me.

Annabelle reached down pulling her pant leg up staring at the scar. This was only a matter of time before she snapped.

It happened sooner then later when she asked a question and Dr.Mills gave her the answer she never expected to hear.
