Return to 'London' (An E.A.H/Madness returns fanfic)

Ch.13 Insanity

Alistair went up to the entrance of the asylum and peeked inside, no one was in sight. He went in and walked around to find Dr. Bumby and hopefully his friends. He walked down a hall where the patients room was, but when he walked pass a cell, arms reached out from the bars and tried to grab him.

"Help me!" the girl screamed "Get me out of here!"

Alistair got scared and ignored her as he ran away. But he then noticed a room slightly ajar, he went over and peeked inside and saw Dr. Bumby at a desk, sorting through some files. But when he took a step back, he bumped into someone, he turned and saw that he had bumped into the Orderlies.

Dr. Bumby searched through the files about Alice when she was a patient at the asylum.

"Hey boss" he heard the Orderlies call him "Look who we've found snooping around".

The men walked in with Alistair who had his wrists handcuffed behind him.

"Ah, Alistair Wonderland" Bumby said as he went up to Alistair who avoided his eye contact.

"I've been looking for you" Bumby said "And now that you're here, there's something I've been wanting to ask you".

Alistair looked into his eyes with a mad look.

"It's just a simple question" Bumby said "Where's your mother?"

Alistair just scowled at him and spat in his eye. Bumby pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the spit off his eye. He then looked at Alistair, and slapped him across his face. He then grabbed the boy by his shirt and pulled him to his face.

"I'm going to ask you one last time" Bumby growled "Where's your mother?"

"You'll never find her" Alistair scowled.

"Is that so?" Bumby said, he then looked at the Orderlies "Show the boy his friends".

The Orderlies grabbed Alistair and followed Dr. Bumby down the asylum halls. They followed him until they reached the bloodletting room.

"Why don't you take a look" Bumby said to Alistair.

Alistair looked through the window and was shocked. Kitty and Lizzie were strapped onto the beds and Pris was there putting leeches on their arms! The girls struggled to escape, but the straps held them down as the leeched sucked their blood.

"What's going on?" Alistair gasped.

"They're getting, treatments for their insanity" Bumby said.

"Insanity?" Alistair said "They're not insane".

"Come along to see your other friends" Bumby said as the Orderlies dragged Alistair along.

Bumby lead Alistair to the Trepanning room, Alistair looked through the window and saw Bunny and Cari strapped onto chairs. He noticed a nurse and a doctor there, they were the same nurse and doctor from his nightmares! He watched as the nurse put a metal headpiece with a drill on Bunny's head, she then began to turn the handle slowly drilling into Bunny's head. Bunny began to squirm and struggle as she felt the drills pressing against her head. Alistair then watched as the doctor began drilling some tool into Cari's arm, she screamed as she struggled and blood dripped down her arm. Alistair couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"And now to show you my favorite" Bumby said as they lead Alistair to the electroshock therapy room.

Alistair looked through the window and saw Maddie strapped onto the electric chair with a metal headpiece on her head. The doctor then turned the handle and watched as Maddie screamed in pain from the shock that ran through her body.

"She seemed to be the maddest of them all" Bumby said "So she deserves special treatments".

Alistair felt his eyes water.

"And now for the others" Bumby said as they lead Alistair to the patients room area.

Alistair looked in the first room and saw Dina laying on the bed. But when Dr. Bumby looked in the room and when Dina saw him, she picked up her bowl of gross oatmeal and screamed as she threw the bowl at Bumby but he moved out as the bowl crashed into the bars and the oatmeal flew pass him, but some got on his suit.

"She's very aggressive" Bumby said as he wiped the oatmeal off him, he then tasted some "Could use some salt".

Alistair looked into another room, this time he saw Marchness sitting on the bed, shaking, even though it wasn't cold in there.

"We gave him some medicine to calm him" Bumby said "It has some side effects though".

In another room, Alistair saw Tammy sitting in the corner, hugging her knees and swaying back and forth. And in another room he saw Tony slowly banging his head against the wall.

"What have you done to them?" he asked.

"Now that you've seen your friends" Bumby said "You could end up like them, or, you can tell us where your mother is and we'll let you go".

"Even if I did tell where she was" Alistair said "You wont believe me".

"Just where is she?" Bumby asked.

Alistair sighed "Wonderland".

"Oh this Wonderland nonsense" Bumby frowned "You guys really are mad".

"I told you that you wouldn't believe me" Alistair said.

"Well then, if you wont tell us where she really is, I guess we'll make you".

Alistair's heart pounded faster as he was taken to an empty patient's room. One of the Orderlies took out a key and uncuffed Alistair's wrists. Bumby opened the room and threw Alistair in. He closed the door and locked it.

"We'll start tomorrow" he said as they left.

Alistair was now alone in the cell. He tried to find a way out, but all that was in the room was a bed. He sat on the bed and rubbed his head as he felt tears flow down his cheek. His friends aren't themselves anymore, just like how he doesn't feel like himself. He knew this was real, not another nightmare.
