I barely remember my parents,I can't recall the last time I was given the warmth of a mother or the safe feel of a father.They took me away when I was four,I think.I remember that day thou,when the Russian men broke down the door,I remember my mom screaming,i remember then throwing her out of the way and barging into the my room.I didn't wail,cry,or even fight.I was so scared,it felt like the air had disappeared.

I could see my mom scrambling to get to me.Somewhere inside me I felt helpless .

But that would soon be forgotten .

It didn't take long to to figure out what my purpose was.I spent days in the lab,they made me drink awful liquids,which I would spit out most of the time. So they quickly started giving me light pink lollipops with a dark pink swirl .

They would put sleeping pills in the candy ,then they would operate.Not like the the usual mad scientist operation.The operation feelings,urges,needs.

It's like reprogramming a computer.

They look the same on the outside but are different inside.

By the age of nine I was getting in a state of insanity,I was locked in a cell most of the day.I'd scratch little drawings into the walls,sometimes until the tips of my hands were

blistered .

Then one day a surgery changed me forever.When I woke up I could feel nothing,i sat up and started screaming,I couldn't think straight,I couldn't feel.Not physically,mentally.I took the chair in my cell and had started slamming it into the door to repeatedly until it fell apart .It was just the beginning thou.

Hell isn't fire ,hell isn't in a pit of flames,hell is here.

I'm not crazy on purpose

They made me this way

"Cuff",the voice of the guard made me jerk my head up from the wall ,the slot opened,it was big enough to slip in a tray or hands.

I crept over ,turning my back to the door and slipping my hands out.

"Good girl",the guard said,I cringed,he spoke like I was a baby or a animal .

Two guards,one on each arm ,lead me down the white hall.

'How many days had I been in there...',I thought.

'A month would be about right..'.

We came to a door,the office .

The door opened,a well over weight man looked up at me and smiled."I'm getting sick of all your visits ...Okami",his smile was sick ,I wanted to throw up.

"I have gotten word that you want to switch to public buildings.",he raised an eyebrow at me.

My voice was horse,"Yeah...".

He laughed,"Well your behavior has been .....acceptable...but your not going to I the public ..your going to second level",I bursted from my seat,the guards grabbed me,"I'm not gonna hurt him you idiots.",I snapped,shaking them off and sitting back down .

I cleared my throat,"Why!I've been on my best behavior ....y-you know I deserve this.".

He smirked,"Look...this is what I'm giving you ,take it ...You'll like Second Level..you'll be with people like you.".

I wanted to choke him I swear..'People like me' ,Second Level is for the mentally insane .

But at least I would get new privileges,I won't be locked up like a mouse all day.

I nodded,pulling back the foul words I wanted so badly to say to his twisted face.

But at least they let me leave solidarity

"Pack your things .."The guard ordered.I laughed ,"What things?".

All I have is a few books and note books,pencils. Oh and a bag of candy.

I put them all in a pillow case.

I stepped out of the cell and looked at it.If it wasn't barren before it is now.

I looked at the guards,they are weird,they wear helmets and heathy gear,like seriously who called in SWAT.

"Are you guys allowed to smile ....", I asked.

He didn't respond. I lowered my voice to whisper,"Do they break your legs ...".

He sighed,"There is no rule against smiling ..",he seemed irritated.

"Ready?",a guard called out walking towards us,his face help a warmer expression .

"Pretty much ", I looked in the room once more,taking a last glimpse at the scratched pictures on the wall.

Who knows...I may be back .

Second Level,One of the many buildings.Second Level is a highly operated building where people who are considered dangerous for public but are in a state of recovery .Most don't stay long thou,but I hope that's not the case for me.

What sucks is cell mates.I pray she's sane.

Then again ..if your here...your probably not.

Second level lets people leave the cells open at certain times,socializing helps you recovery .Solitude is the last thing for the mentally insane.I know personally.

I walked down the hall then stopped at a cell .Cell c14

I walked in.

She must of known I was coming,Half the cell was decorated in pictures and posts,the other side was empty . A note was lain out on my bed.

Welcome to the block cellie!

I smiled,maybe my pray was heard.

I plopped my bag down on the bed. The cells were pretty nicely sized,big enough for two one person beds.But it's still small,it's still a cell.

I looked on the other side of he room,she has pictures all over the walls,post cards,photos,drawings.

At least she is polite enough to clear half the room,I'm fine as long as she keeps out of my business.

I took the few belonging I had brought,a box of pencils,2 notebooks,A old syfy novel called StarWolf,and a dictionary,yeah I know its strange but it helps you pass the time.

I'm not much of a writer,i find drawing a way to release anger and emotion.

I'm not saying I draw good thou.

I flipped through one of the notebooks.Years of doodles and scribbles packed each page like a overcrowded bus.

I never show people my drawings,they'd think of me differently.

"Okami?!",I jumped startled.

A woman walked in,she had short puffy blonde hair with a bandana tied into it.

"Uh..Yeah",I squeaked.

She nearly screamed,attacking me with a hug,"Welcome!".

I pryed her off me.

"I'm Rachel",she put out her hand.I stared at it blankly."Oh then",she mumbled putting it down.
I laughed,"I'm sorry...I'm just not big on human contact.",I looked away.
"It's ok,I understand.",she flopped down onto her bed,"Hey how old are you..nineteen...twenty?".I shook my head,"I'm sixteen...".
She looked to me eyes wide,"Sixteen? But you seem older!".
I shrugged,"I guess I do...".
A banging sound interrupted our conversation. I looked to see a man leaning half way through the door.
"Hey Reese!",he smiled playfully.
"Max...please don't scare the new girl,she's seems cool.".Max narrowed his eyebrows at her then looked at me.
"New?...Dude she's from solitary confinement... ".Max growled.Rachel stared at me silently.
I started feeling dizzy.My heart quickened. I could feel the anxiety.
"I-I ...". I stuttered to get my words out as they looked up at me like some mad man.
"I- ..I gotta go ..n-now".I ran out pushing Max aside.
"Wait! Okami come back!".
