Wicked Souls

I kept biting my nails and shrugged.

He noticed that I was biting my nails and he figured that I seemed rather nervous right now. Even though I was not showing many emotions on the outside through my facial expressions, he could sense that something was bothering me in the way that I was biting my nails and he figured that my nervous habits grew worse as I was more anxious about something.

"Is...something bothering you?" He asked gently, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"You left..." I muttered.

He sighed softly as he heard me say that...he figured that it was the reason why I came to his office. Even though it was a straightforward response to his question, it made him a bit concerned as I seemed to have an attachment towards him.

"Yes...I did leave...but I did have to check on something that I couldn't delay..."

I nodded then just walked off back down the hallways, I thought I was a burden to him.

He glanced back and he just watched as I walked away down the hallway, as I did so he knew fully well how I felt. I thought that I was a burden to him and he figured that even if he tried his absolute best to be attentive and careful with me, I would still feel this way...

He sighed softly as he watched me walk away...he knew that he had to be more cautious about this as he couldn't have me feeling this way...he just had to work with it, it wasn't something that he could avoid or simply make disappear.

He remained in his office for a while before deciding to go back to me and check on me, I had been gone for a little while now and he felt that I might need more assistance or comfort. So he got up and he left his office and he quietly walked down the hallway which was empty at this time of night. He didn't want to knock or make a loud sound, especially if I decided to go back to sleep, so he gently opened the door to my room.

However I wasn't in my room, instead I tried to leave the facility again. I wanted some freedom, so I made my way out of the building to the backyard, I was in tears, and I was having weird emotions which I didn't understand. I kept running to the fence.

He entered the room, only to find it empty, as he was about to leave he felt somewhat lost, he figured that he did hear the sound of footsteps but then those footsteps just suddenly stopped. So he turned back around and went out into the hallway once more and he walked towards the exit of the building. When he got outside, he saw me standing in the middle of the yard.

His body froze as soon as he saw my tear-stricken face and he rushed over to where I stood, he stopped just a few feet behind me.

I tried to climb up the metal fence, but I kept crying.

He saw that I was trying to climb up the metal fence which was quite a significant height...this wasn't going to be a good situation as I could possibly hurt myself while trying to do this while being emotionally distraught. So he decided to approach me quickly as he spoke in the same calm and gentle tone.

"What are you doing..." He sounded slightly concerned, he wondered why I was trying to climb up the fence at this time of night.

I kept crying "Go away,".

He stopped himself in his tracks as I told him to go away, it was rather evident that I was in no state of mind to continue a conversation, I was upset by something and I wanted to be left alone at the moment...this was going to be rather tricky since I was trying to climb the fence, but he knew that it wasn't as if I would just listen to him and leave on its own.

"You need to come down from there," He said calmly as he approached me, he was still keeping a few feet of distance for both mine and his own sake.

I shook my head, my feet were sliding down the fence, I had no shoes on so my feet were getting cut.

My feet getting cut was the last thing that he wanted to see, his eyes immediately darted down to my feet as he noticed the cuts and the blood that was slowly starting to leak out onto the ground. Now he had all his doubts about whether I would listen to him or not erased, he didn't care whether I wanted to be left alone or not, he was going to do whatever he could to help me.

"Get down here...now!" He said with a hint of forceful urgency, he was going to make sure that I got down from there one way or another.

"No," I argued back, I kept trying to climb.

He sighed and his facial expression showed hints of annoyance and slight frustration, he couldn't stand by and watch this happen as I kept on climbing the fence. He had to do something fast before the situation could get any worse than it already was. So as I argued with him, he quickly ran over to me and grabbed my arms to prevent me from climbing any higher or any further, he then pulled me away from the fence and held me back gently as I remained in his grasp.

I kicked my legs, trying to get out of his grasp.

His grasp on me remained firm and he refused to let go, he knew that if I was left alone for even just a second, it was entirely possible that I would climb back up the fence again. So as I kicked my legs and fought desperately against his grip, he held on even tighter to ensure that I stayed away from the fence.

"Get off me," I said sternly, I kept kicking my legs.
