TRIGGER WARNING:

This story contains large amounts of violence and some graphics scenes, if you don't like the thought of death and troublesome teenagers I suggest you don't read on.

"Dead" she whispered to the nurse like it was a shock. Little did the nurse know that she had been the one to kill her and so many others. Tegan had no family left now, for her "the young innocent girl" had killed them all. Parents, brothers and sisters all dead. Tegan was a murder but she couldn't careless. She told the police a mad man came in and killed her family one by one and she was hiding in closet. The one thing Tegan did fear was the police, she never knew what they were thinking.

Tegan's P.O.V

"Fine, you want to know how I killed them?" I said leaning closer to the officer in front of me.

"First, I made sure they were all peacefully asleep, then I snuck downstairs and grabbed the biggest knife I could find." My hands grip the sides of the table and I make direct eye-contact with the officer. "Then one by one, I plunged the knife into their hearts taking pleasure in there last breaths."

In an instant I was rushed out the room and locked in a cell, everyone now running around frantically. I take this time to reflect on my actions and I didn't regret anything, not even for a second. My mum was a prostitute and my brothers and sisters didn't deserve such crappy life and well my dad always had it coming. I on the other hand still had hope for myself even if it meant going to prison for the rest of my life.

The cell they locked me in opens and an odd looking lady with glasses walks in. She wore a long white shower curtain looking dress and her hair was in dreadlocks she sits down and starts organizing some paper on her lap before speaking.

"We'll fix you right up." She said taking a slight glance at me before taking a glance back at her papers. I felt like a test subject for some reason and I didn't like it, it was kind of like I was a small bug under a microscope.

"Now boys." She all of a sudden screams out of nowhere, before I can react a large needle is being injected into my neck and I feel myself falling asleep. My body fails to fight the injection and for the first time in a while I give up.

-------

All I feel is pain, emense pain all over my body. Nurses are to the left and the right of me two of them holding my hands. I couldn't speak my throat was dry and brittle but worse of all I couldn't remember anything. I didn't know my name, I didn't know how'd I gotten here and I didn't know what had happened to me. I try to remember my family, friends, house and school, I search every part of my mind but got nothing. I couldn't run because I couldn't move, so all I could do is lie here and cry until something happened.

All of a sudden the nurses move away and a lady with dreadlocks is standing over me with a grin. For an unknown reason her face brought me fear and I tensed under her stare. She pulled up a chair next my bed and crosses one leg over the other and grabbed the pen out from behind her ear before opening a notepad.

"What is your name?" She asks calmly trying to make direct eye contact with me.

I don't reply straight away, I close my eyes and try to search the corners of my mind for it again and got nothing.

"I don't know." I say whispering.

"How old are you?"

"Um i-"

"You don't know?" she asks questionably.

"Do you know?" I say desperation clearly in my voice.

She straightens herself up on the chair and reads across her page a few times before answering my question.

"Your Name in Tegan, your sixteen and have no friends or family."

I feel shocked, that meant I had no one, it meant I was all alone. The lady stands up and calls a nurse over to follow her and push me and my bed. The nurse stands up without any hesitation and comes over to wheel me. We start moving and I look around the room to see that I was the only patient in here. We continue for what feels like forever going down halls and down escalators until we reach an exit that went outside.

We were now facing a pure white building, which had a sign that read "home for the mentally ill." I thought we would just be passing it but we go straight into it, this couldn't be right. I wasn't mentally ill, I'd just lost my memory and needed help getting it back. We walk through the reception and everyone slyly nods at each other before we go into another escalator. I realized the Lady used a key to open up the "restricted areas" buttons and she presses level 1. It didn't make sense to me because weren't we on level one? All of a sudden the escalators plunging down and the numbers start going backwards from level 15. Level one was a restricted area underground and all of a sudden the hairs on the back of my neck started to stand.

When the doors open I'm greeted by a heavenly white room with black furniture, teenagers sitting everywhere and doctors talking and observing them. Randomly everyone turns to face me and eyes us suspiciously, my heart rate fastens and I break into a sweat. Dreadlocks goes and speaks to someone and the nurse wheels me past everyone into a room. "Get up and move into that bed you wee lil lass." Said the nurse with some kind of accent. I groan as I slowly move, the nurse all of a sudden realizes I'm in pain and comes over to help me. I get into my new bed and feel instant relief when my body collides with the mattress. I was about to thank the nurse but I'm all of a sudden being injected with a needle and I end up falling asleep.
