Asylum Horrors

Room Check

I was back into my room, laying down, back first, on my bed. The lashes no longer stung as much as they did before, and I didn't bother to move at all. Minutes go by and I'm still laying down like a statue, in a state of peace, until I hear yelling and banging from outside.

''Get out inmates! Bed check!'' All of a sudden, all of the doors going down my hall flew open.

I cautiously got up, trying not to hurt myself, and went outside, standing outside my door. In the room next to me, was Scarlette, and she was the last person I wanted to see or speak to.

''Are you okay?'' she asked.

''What do you care? You left me there, didn't even help me.'' I glanced at her.

''I'm sorry. If I could help you, I would, but if I stepped in, I would also get punished. I'm sorry.'' She sounded sincere, but I don't care. She's not someone I trust now. A guard pushed past me and checked my room. When he saw that there was nothing there, he left and went to Scarlette's room. It went like that, every administrator going down a door per side until something was found in a patients room. At least that was the pattern, until our guard found something in someones ward, 4 doors down from my room.

''What do we have here, Candy?'' The guard came out with a baguette, a long thin type of bread, french I believe.

''It's my toy.'' She said slyly. She had chin length red hair, and dark brown eyes. Her knees were dark and bruised and she had a dark mark on her cheek.

''We don't allow those kind of behaviors here, you know that.''

''Well, that's not what you said last night in the bread room.'' She started to walk slowly towards him, seductively, until a nun started to walk into our hall.

''Did you find something Herbert?'' The nun asked. She had long brown hair, and dark blue eyes. Her face was soft and childlike, and she wasn't uptight like the old Sister Josephine.

''I found bread in Candy's ward, and it wasn't for eating, Sister Evangeline.'' He handed her the bread and she willingly took it.

''Oh Candy, Sister Josephine caught you last time, and that didn't go well. I'm not her though, so I'll let this slide. Next time, I'm sending you to her okay?''

''Yes, Sister.'' Candy drooled. She was a nymphomaniac, it was obvious.

''And Herbert, you don't have to call me 'Sister Evangeline', just call me Evangeline.''

''Yes, Sister Evangeline. I mean, Evangeline. I'm sorry,'' He got red and shy. He had a crush on her beauty and kindness, but he wasn't the only one. She chuckled and walked out of the hallway. Her motion was swift and smooth, like she was rolling on skates. She was the epitome of a living angel. He snapped out of his Evangeline daydream and spoke again. ''Get back in your wards, and go to sleep.'' With that, he walked out of the hallway, giving a quick wink and nod at Candy. As I was going back into my ward, I heard Scarlette call after me.

''Really, I'm sorry about what happened. I hope you can forgive me.'' and she walked back into her ward and shut the door. I stood there for a few minutes, contemplating if I forgive her, but I was too angry and upset to think about it any further. I limped back into my room, and lied down onto my bed, getting back into my previous position. From there, I fell into a light sleep.
