Wicked Souls

21

A week later, I haven't seen Dr Harrow for a few days since he has been busy with other patients. I decided to take a walk to the main room in the building since I was bored. I walked over to the windows to look out, I started to hear some voices in my head. I was quite overwhelmed. I started to walk out of the building, the nurses and security guards didn't see me. I started to run towards the silver fence, I tried to climb up. I was struggling.

Dr. Harrow was currently in his own office, he was in the middle of a phone conversation with one of the patients. He was just about to hang up when all of a sudden he noticed the alarm go off. A second after he heard the alarm, he heard a few calls on the PA system being announced... He recognized my name being said on the PA system followed by words like "Patient Escapes Facility" he quickly got off the phone with the other patient and he runs out of his office immediately.

He runs towards the direction where the voice is coming from and he spots me climbing over a fence. He spots me struggling and he instantly rushes over to me.

"Hey, hey calm down," he says in a gentle but firm tone of voice, his voice had a hint of concern as he spoke. He didn't want me to continue to try and scale the fence and put myself in danger. So he quickly moves to catch me and pull me away.

I struggled against him, I started to get agitated and move around "Get off me,".

He noticed that I started to struggle against him as I tried to get off the fence. I started to get agitated as my movements became erratic. He couldn't sense any malice behind my actions and words, so he maintained his calm demeanour with me to prevent anything from escalating.

"Woah, Woah.." He said softly as he kept trying to gently pull me away from the fence and away from the danger. He noticed that I was struggling and that I was starting to get agitated, he hoped that he could calm me down before anything progressed or escalated.

As he pulled me away from the fence I was in his arms, before I fell to the dirty muddy ground, I looked at the floor, my hands were sore from the cold metal fence.

He caught me before I fell on the muddy ground and he supported me in his arms. He saw that my hands were sore and it was very clear that I had been hanging onto the fence for a while, he could clearly see that this wasn't an event that occurred in a mere few seconds. He could tell that it had gone on for a lot longer and he looked down at the ground as I did. He realized that this was a serious situation as he continued to support me in his arms.

The nurses and security guards started to make their way over to me, I held onto Harrow tightly.

He continued to hold me tightly and warmly in his arms as he felt me hold on to him, he had a soft and gentle look on his face as he noticed the nurses and security guards approaching me. He was aware that he shouldn't keep standing like this because he couldn't continue to support me due to the seriousness of the situation. So he turned to the nurses and security guards.

"I've got her," He says calmly to them as he lets go of me and steps back.

I glanced at the workers, my face was flushed, and I picked at my nails as the worker started to speak "You aren't allowed to leave the building Aella, you need to be with someone at all times," the nurse tried to explain but I just huffed and walked away back to the inside of the building.

He witnessed everyone's interaction with me, he could tell that I wasn't too fond of them right now and he can't say that he blamed me. He saw how they spoke to me with an authoritative tone, they spoke to me as if I was a child in need of guidance and assistance.

He saw me step away from them and walk back inside the building. He decided to follow me afterwards because he wanted to make sure that I was okay, I had gone through a lot on my own and he didn't want any of that to escalate either.

I kept walking down the hallways, I walked to my room and climbed into my bed as I screamed into my pillow with anger.

He followed me as far as he could as I walked through the building and up to my room. He could see that I had a lot of anger and frustration that I just needed to let out. So he decided to let me just be, he didn't invade my space and he didn't barge into my room. He allowed me to let out my anger alone and he stayed by the door as he stood patiently. He was still concerned by the situation and wanted to check up on me.

I mumbled stuff into the pillow "I hate this place,".

He stays outside the door and hears the muffled words I muttered into the pillow. He had a slight idea that I hated being locked up in this mental facility, having my freedom taken away isn't an easy thing to handle. So he just stood outside patiently, he knew that he couldn't come in just yet. So he just waited at the door with a soft and patient demeanour, he hoped that I would eventually be open to talking with him about the events that happened.

He continues to stand outside patiently and he takes a deep breath before knocking on the door once and speaking in a gentle and reassuring tone.

"Aella?" His voice came out calmly, like always. His tone was slightly cautious and curious as he hoped that I would respond to him. He was trying to gauge whether I would be willing to speak to him or not or if I still just wanted to be left alone. So he waited patiently outside the door.
