Misty Woods

Chapter 1: Misty Woods Asylum

Misty Woods Asylum is a large castle made with dark gray brick and massive oak doors. All of the windows were replaced with cement blocks except on the first floor. Misty Woods, or as I should call it my current home, is located just fifteen miles west of Buffalo.

Let's just get this clear, I'm not a patient. I am a criminal psychologist who was assigned to work at Misty Woods because the other psychologist left the position because he couldn't handle the temperament of the patients, but when nobody would take the job offer up. I did, and now I'm standing outside of the asylum with a caramel suitcase and a makeshift name tag on my chest. I was offered a proper one but I refused to put it on because I don't like people knowing my name especially when...well I'll get to that later.

I was greeted by two nurses. One was very pretty. She had big sparkling blue eyes, pale skin, and a bun made out of silky strawberry blonde. The other was a man, which was very strange, who was quite tall. He looked about my age, 25 if you are wondering. He had light tan skin, mussed dark brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a perfect smile.

"Hello, welcome to Misty Woods Miss...Adeline," the man smiled staring at my name tag. The female nurse turned around and glared at him.

"Jonathan," she snapped, "Go back to the lobby! You aren't supposed to be near the door!"

The man was a patient. How could I have not seen? He was extremely thin and his skin was pretty pale. However, he did look pretty normal. I wonder why he's in here?

"I know, I know. I'll go back to being a good little boy for you, Mrs. Kelly," Jonathan bent down and smiled a big grin at the nurse. All of the sudden, there was a scream. The nurse bolted away from the doorframe and rushed down a hallway, causing her to disappear from my view.

"So, would you like the grand tour of this place," Jhonathan asked with an outstretched hand. I stepped right up to him and looked him in the eye. I shook his hand aggressively. I was not going to let these patients push me around.

"Yes, I would very much like a tour of the place. Why don't you lead the way," I smirked.

Jonathan took my hand and lead me down a long hallway.

"This is where we herd the new shipment of cattle," Jonathan smirked as he waltzed down the hallway like he owned the place.

"What do you mean by cattle," I questioned even though I knew perfectly well he meant the new patients.

"Well the patients of course! I would've suspected you to be smarter, considering you're a shrink and all. You also got that smart look ya know," Jonathan pointed at my face, "Hey! Haven't I seen you before! In the papers or somethin'."

I immediately tensed up. He could not know who I actually was or I would be outta here in a second.

"No, I think you have me mistaken for someone else Mister.... I'm afraid I don't know your last name," I told Jonathan.

"No need for it! A fine broad as yourself can just call me Jonathan or patient 3861, if you want to act like a warden," Jonathan smirked at me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I quickly shook him off and walked quicker. After a few feet of walking, I noticed he was not following me. I turned around and saw Jonathan just standing still, dumbfounded.

"Well, aren't you going to continue giving me the tour," I asked in a huff.

Jonathan shook the look off of his face and ran up to my side.

"Yes, indeed I was. Let's continue then, shall we," Jonathan smiled while holding out his arm for me to hold. I immediately continued on without holding his arm.
