The Midnight Dance

Chapter II

Athena's pov: Three weeks before.

I wake up by the screams coming from the next room, it wasn't a surprise anymore, we all got used to it. I sit up, rubbing my sleepy face and yawn. "Morning, hell", i thought to myself. After a few seconds, one of the nurses enter the room. She carry a plate with medicine and a glass of water.

"It's medicine time, dear." She said with a gentle voice. She was the friendly one in this place and actually cared for the patients. She move to my side, asking me to open my mouth, i obey her and open my mouth like she asked. She places two pills on my tongue and give me a sip of water. After i did, i opened my mouth for her to know that i had swallow it, but, i obviously didn't. I hide it underneath my tongue and when she leaves then i could spit it out. I wasn't crazy do take it, not when i knew what they could do when used.

I keep staring at the door, thinking in silence. "I should escape...Im gonna escape tonight. But, if they catch me, i would be dead." Those same words run foward and back on mind, but i knew i couldn't do it. If i did, i would definitely fail and they would call my father, which was even worse than any other punishment.

-------------------------

I was just resting on the common room, sitting on a chair, doing some draws, minding my own business, when a woman start talking to me. i look up at her, quiet.

"what are you drawing, girl?" she asked me, with a smug smile on her face. I glanced back at my draw. It wasn't pretty, i knew it, but it was sentimental. A woman with a kid besides her. My mother and I. I hint of anger appears on my face, knowing that this girl was nothing more than problems.

"Now now, don't be angry. It's not my fault your mommy got into a car crash. Why don't you go ahead and draw me a picture of her grave? It's not like she'll notice, after all."

Something flinch on me. My anger was so strong, i couldn't control it anymore. I grabbed the pencil and stuck in her eye. Blood streams down her eye as she scream out of her lungs and cried loud. The securities rushed, calling over the nurses as well. Two of them grabbed me, while the other went to the woman with an nurse, as i try to get away from their grip.

"Let me go! She was the one who started, please!" i yelled. I was so hectic that a nurse had to stick me with a needle, containg a green liquid. Everything went blank after that...and I didn't knew what happened next, i just...fell assleep.

I woke up alone, in a full-white room, with padded walls and floor, sound-proof. I was in that fucking room, the one where i could scream as loud as i wanted, that no one would heard it.

If i wasn't crazy when I got here, i would definitely become.
