Ch.1 The Home

                          Present
                       Lillie's POV

    Ahhhh how I just adore Arkham. The people just so... lovely. I can't remember my life before Arkham. Ha that's a lie.. I remember little things like my ma, the home, my friend Peter and the trials... I was so close to being free but they decided I was.. what was it again... suffering from insanity.

                       9 Years Earlier
 
    "I don't wanna stay here though.." I mumbled to my mom as she fixed my jacket. "You have too Sweetie." She said as she lightly pushed the hair away from my face. "I'll be back as soon as I can but it might be a while.." I looked as she kissed my head "I gotta go. Bye Lilac.." she said getting I watched her walk out and squinted my eyes at her "Liar."

    "You'll be staying in this room." Ms.Parker said putting my bag by the door. "It's kind of small.." I said walking over to the window looking at the ground below. "We have Sevan kids here Lilac.." I shook my head "Its Lillie." She nodded and stood by the door. "Um okay Lillie. We have system here. You can't stay locked up in here. We go out at 2 pm. Eat at times 8 am, 1 pm, and 6 pm." I nodded and sat on the cold bed.

       "You wake at 7 and sleep at 9. No wondering. And keep the window closed." I nodded and looked at my shoes. "How old are you Lillie?" Ms.Parker asked standing in front of me. "Six.." I whisper pulling at my jacket "What a wonderful age. An age full of wonder and belief." I looked up at her squinting my eyes. "My ma just left me. How is that wonderful." I asked her only getting a nod. "I hope you like your stay. You can unpack." I nodded and watched her walk out.

     I walked to the window and looked out at the sky. The sun was setting and the sky was full of gray clouds. Rain slowly started to fall till it was smacking the glass repeatedly. I tapped the window with my finger listening to the sound of the rain. I turned my back to the window and looked around with my back leaning on the wall.

     The walls where a fading dull gray color. The bed was small and in the left corner with what one could guess was white but now was a nauseating shade of yellow. I looked at the clock on the wall seeing the hour hand close to six. 'I'm not hungry' I thought to myself as I sat on the windowsill "Please let this be a nightmare.." I whispered as I leaned my head on the window closing my eyes and drifted off into sleeping listening to the sound of the rain.

         'Ma' I yelled as I walked around the empty house. 'Why are you hiding!' I yelled as I got to the kitchen to see ma in the corner. 'What wrong?' I asked standing by the counter. She gave me a look as if she had just laid eyes on the devil. 'What's wrong mommy? Don't you love me?' I asked walking over. 'Stay away!' she yelled. I cocked my head to the side. 'I just wanna play.. please it'll be fun!' I said with a wide smile and jumped slightly out of excitement. She nodded slowly and walked over a few steps. "Okay. What do you wanna play?" She asked I smiled a little wider and turned to the counter. 'I was stuck between drawing and A board game.. but I found something better.' I said as I grabbed a chopping knife off the counter 'So I thought playing doctor would be best' I said turning to her. 'Lilac dear please put that down.' I lost my smile and scowled at her 'IT'S LILLIE!' I yelled as I lunged at her'

       I awake slowly opening my eyes looking into the darkness outside. I wasn't scared by the dream but slowly smiled to myself. Why not enjoy the dream. Cause it was just that. Just a dream. Ma would pick me up in a month or so after she is done working.. I stood from the sill and walked to the lone lightbulb and pulled the cord. Still stuck in this tiny room thats slowly rotting away. 'like you dear..'

      I walked to my bed and sat on it to see how it felt only too feel small scratches on my legs and a rock for a mattress. "I prefer the window.." I said allowed as I slowly looked to the clock. The hour hand had just passed 1 a.m. slowly I stated to dread sleeping early.

     I walked to my bedroom door and slowly reached for the door handle slightly suspicious to see what Ms.Parker did to keep us in. I grabbed the handle and slowly turned it til the door opened a crack. There was a dim light from a far away room that faded into the shadows of the hallways darkness. I saw a door in front of me and six down the hall. Each had there own little sign.

       As I got closer I tried to read what they said and furrowed my brows. It was children's names carved into wood with descriptions. I made my way down and read the plaques.

Andrew- Depressive
Maddie- Pyromaniac
Jasmine- Kleptomaniac
Colby- Anxiety disorder
Alissa- Pathological Liar
Barry- Attention Deficit disorder
Lilac- Schizophrenic

    I tilted my head at the words. I wonder what they mean. I wonder why I already have one. Do they know me? As I walked down the hall I passed one door that had a light flowing through the cracks 'Alissa-...' the plaque read as I smiled. 'Maybe we should make some friends here..'  I knocked on the door lightly and listened closely to hear what was happening in the room.

     I heard quick shuffling and then followed by a loud thump. After a few seconds a girl opened the door with a red face. "I swear I was ju- oh your definitely not Parker.. what ya need." The girl asked she looked older maybe 10 "We wanted to make friends.." I mumbled looking into her room. It was different than mine more of her space. The wall was covered with drawings and notes of maybe music..

     Alissa looked down the hall for someone then furrowed her eyebrows "We?" I nodded and smiled "Yea.. my friend Tom." She looked at me strange for a second then nodded and gave a small smile "Oh right new girl.. heard all about you. Come in." She said moving over letting me in.
