Beautifully Insane

One | Amelia

Same white walls, same white sheets, same white nightgown placed around my body. That's all I saw now a days, white. Colour was a rare thing to see in my circumstance.

The door was the only other thing besides myself that was of colour. It was grey, not much of a difference, but it was something.

The bars on the windows were also white, just to keep the pattern of the room going. But it did fail to hide the view beyond this horid place. The green trees, blue water and sky's, the only happy things I've seen in my years of this place.

The screech of the steel door opened brought me out of my trance, to find I had picked at my finger until they bled, again. A body sat beside me and put their hand on my shoulder.

I no longer jerked at the sudden pressure of someone's hand on me, only turned my head to show my attention to them. The nurse in my section, Lucy, was smiling at me.

"Amelia, you have a visitor." Those words have not been spoken to me for at least a year or two. I couldn't say I wasn't the least bit excited about who it was.

Lucy helped me up and held my arm as she lead me out of the white room I learned to call home for most of my life.

The dark hallway was my vision for only a few seconds before a bright light made by the sunlight made me squint. My left hand held the rough material of my gown in my hands as my eyes gained use to the light and a single figure sat in the waiting room.

She was unknown to me. I had never seen a woman like her in my life, nor had she ever visited me once. Lucy made me stand close to this woman before letting me go, only standing a few feet away.

The girl looked at me with a smile. Not a kind one, a quite terrifying one. She stood up from her chair, almost taller than me, and took her arms and pressed me to her body. She was hugging me.

I didn't move, still confused as to why this strange woman was here and was hugging me. She let me go thankfully, but held onto my shoulders tightly.

"Hello Amelia." She spoke for the first time; I was stunned by the voice that came from her mouth. Her voice was beautiful, like a trance I was suddenly not afraid of her, but still confused.

"Am I suppose to know you?" I asked, my first words spoken to her weren't the best as her face fell slightly.

She smiled none the less and let my shoulders go to sit in the seat behind her, motioning for me to sit as well. I sat in the seat behind me as well, doing my best to pay attention to her, though it wouldn't be that hard. She was quite intreging.

"It does not matter if you know who I am or not. All you need to know it that I'm here at your parents request." She explained, crossing one leg over the other.

"I'm afraid that's a lie. My parents died years ago so that cannot be true." I told her. I saw her eyes darken in some way, angered by my realization.

"I am late of course. I only got the message a few days ago about your whereabouts." She leaned forward in her seat, hands folded together.

"I was suppose to be your guardian, but I hadn't known of your parents death until like I said, a few days ago." She was a strange one, not as strange as the ones in this nut house. Then again I was a residence in this nut house.

She appears out of nowhere, claiming to be my supposed guardian yet it's been at least five years I've been here, meaning eight years since my parents death. A trick or the truth was the real question.

I tucked my hair behind my ears and stood up, no longer wanting to talk to her. I turned to leave but a hand gripped my arm tightly making me stop.

"Stay, I'm not finished." She almost sounded as if she was pleading. I faced her scaringly smiling face, and sat down again.

"Now as I was saying," She let my arm go and sat across from me again, "I've come to take you home with me."

I creased my eyebrows together and shook my head rapidly. I would not go home with this stranger, guardian or not I wasn't going with her.

"I will not go with you." I declared and stood up quickly.

"That is not your decision to make." She said calmly and stood up with me.

"You're right, it's the doctors." I snapped. Lucy shuffled anxiously, but kept calm.

"Lucy take me to my room, I no longer want to speak with her." I turned to Lucy with a small flash of fear, something I hadn't felt in a while.

Lucy nodded and took me away quickly, ignoring the shouts of the woman behind us in the waiting room. She really confused me. I knew nothing about her besides her being me guardian. Not her name, age, where she came from, nothing.

Lucy put me in my room and locked the door, leaving me in the white again. It was nice to get out, but I'd rather be here than in some strangers arms.
