McKenzie

I turned to Martha.  She was going on about how Xavier and her had gone on a date last night. I opened my mouth. I was hesitant.

"Martha?" she stoped talking when she saw my expression. I sighed.

"Harry. The new one. He Was nice at first. Sweet talker that man is. But as soon as we'd sat down in the cafeteria.  He'd gone cold.  Not crazy. well. yea crazy. But he looked at me like prey.

"at first I was uncomfortable.  Then I started to like it. Martha. I think im going crazy. I think papa passed it to me. Who in their right minds would find a criminally insane murderer attractive.  He even grabbed a hold of my hand Martha. When he touched me. I felt. I felt A great pleasure like he was supposed to be holding me." I finished, tears were streaking my face.

Martha held me in her arms, stroking my hair. "Shh. Its ok Kenzie. You're gunna be fine. You ain't crazy. You just got the bug." I lifted my head up and squinted in confusion.

She laughed a bit. I glared at her but im pretty sure I looked just like an angry kitten.  "Kenzie. You like him. Spend more time with him. Just dont let the warden know. His son gots an eye for you. He ain't gonna like it." I sniffled and giggled a bit.

"Thanks Mar. You always know what to say. Im going to take my shift in the cafeteria patrol now. You got the place under control?" She nodded.

"Member' Kenzie. Be careful and talk to that boy." I giggled and walked out. I strolled down the hall and into the cafeteria. I spotted Harry at the table we were located at yesterday. He was shuffling cards. He looked troubled.

I almost reached the table when I bumped into Ashton.  He is the Warden's son. I blushed.  "Sorry Ashton." He chuckled deeply. His chuckled usually got to me but, somehow, Harry came into mind and I could hear his deep husky chuckle.

I snapped out of my trance when Ashton coughed. "Sorry. " I sqeaked. He laughed.

"I said, do you want to come patrol with me?" I thought about it. I looked at Harry.  He seemed to be looking at us. Listening. His fists were clenched and he'd bent the plastic spoon given for that god awful stuff they fed these people.

I turned to Ashton. "Sorry. Not today. I'm interacting with the patients. Im going to be sitting with Harry here." I said motioning to Harry whom was only a few feet away.

Ashton nodded," Be careful Kenzie. " I nodded and smiled.

"Will do buckaroo. " He snickered and walked away. I proceeded to sit by harry

I smiled at him. "Hi Harry. How are you today?" He looked up to me, a frown placed on his pink lips.

"Why aren't you afraid of me Kenz?" I hesitated. Was I even scared? No, that I was sure of.

"I dont know Harry. You just fascinate me. I want to know you. To know what you like. Even if you've been in here since you were 14. You're bound to like something and I want to find out what. " He grunted and shook his head.

"You shouldn't want to Kenz. I want to do things to you. Good and Bad. I'm afraid I'll hurt you. Yesterday I was ready to strangle you for Christ's sake." I gasped. Had He really wanted to strangle me?

I shook my head. "What kept you from doing it Harry?" He merely shrugged.

"I don't know Kenz. The feeling that I need to protect you from something but I have no clue what and how." My eyes widened. he wanted to, protect me?

The whistles blew and guards came to get the patients. They drug harry out of his chair. " We arent finished Styles!" I sighed and shifted in my chair thinking.

How could he want to protect me, if he only knew my name? He didnt know my story or anything. Just that I worked here.

This pondered on my mind for awhile before I decided to got back to the office and talk to Martha once more.

I rubbed my face in annoyance. It just didn't make sense. I walked in and Martha looked at me. As if asking for details.

I groaned. "Mar. He said He wanted to strangle me yesterday.  But he didnt. So I asked him why and he said because he had the need to protect me. He only knows my name for crying out loud!" I yelled in annoyance. She just giggled at me.

What the hell. "Martha this is serious!" I growled throwing my hands in the air. She stopped laughed anf stared at me.

"This sounds crazy but I think he cares for you Kenzie. You're the first female and fist person who has gone out of their way to speak to him as a normal human. Like he isnt a psycho bastard." I shook my head.

"He knows nothing about me Mar. It doesn't make sense!" I sighed. It was starting to piss me off.

"I know you don't understand now, but you will eventually." I nodded and grabbed my purse.

"Well im heading home. See you tomorrow Mar." She smiled.

"Morrow' Kenzie." I waved and stepped out of the room. Some of the lights were out so I was sort of lost. It's harder than you think to find the front door when half the hall is pitch black.

Thunder clapped outside and Lightning struck. It started to pour. I searched my little bag for a raincoat, then slipped it on. Thunder clapped again, then a hand landed on my shoulder. I jumped and screamed.

I turned to the holder of the hand. Ashton. I sighed.  "You scared me Ashton. " He chuckled. I rolled my eyes.

"I've got to get home before the storm worsens. See ya tomorrow Ash." He chuckled darkly.

"Later McKenzie." I shivered.  He was giving me a weord vibe all night. I chose to ignore it and walk home.
