Asylum || g.d

chapter 1

i don't care what anyone says. i'm not crazy. i know what i saw. i know what happened. why does everyone blame me?

--

about a month ago, i was sitting in my family room with my black lab named leo. it was about midnight and it was very windy outside and it was raining. everything was as normal as it could be in my house. now i have been known for having strange behavior, visions and a strong imagination, but that doesn't mean i killed them. it wasn't me, i know it.

my parents never left me home alone, i always had someone there watching me incase anything goes wrong. my aunt Rachel was watching me, we painted and watched movies, and when my parents came home, she left. she is my favorite person. she understands me.

when my parents came home that night, we all went to bed. and thats when i heard it. i heard my mother screaming and my dog barking.

i ran into my parents room, to see their bodies all cut up, blood everywhere, there were a ton of black figures all around me and my parents, they had sharp teeth and they kept whispering to me. then i saw the man. i screamed and ran out of my house and into the woods behind my house, leo followed me. i ran and ran and ran and ran until i didn't know where i was anymore. i tripped and fell and just lay there with leo until i fell asleep. leo is my best friend, and i love him. i wish they didn't take him away from me.

thats all i remember. i woke up the next day in a bed that wasn't mine, in a place that wasn't familiar. i was handcuffed to the bed and i dont know why. im not dangerous. im not a bad person.

i jolted up, sweating and shaking. i always have nightmares about what happened that night.

"ah! you're awake! good morning kathryn"

"hello." i say stern.

"another bad dream?" the nurse asks nicely, not getting too close. no one ever comes near me because they think im a murderer, but im not.

"yeah" i say as i put my hands on my cheeks.

"must be the new medicine the doctor put u on. its a strong dose" she says.

"why am i taking this again?" i ask confused because no one ever answers me when i ask.

"because you have to" the nurse says as she places 2 big red pills on the table next to me quickly.

"im not taking those anymore. it makes me feel weird" i say. the huge red pills make me see weird things... things ive only seen the night of my parents death.

"well thats not my issue." the nurse says as she walks away. i roll my eyes and sit back on the bed.

all of our rooms are next to each other. from murderers, to suicidal kids, u name it. the beds look like hospital beds and they are scary to me. its so plain in here. theres one window but they keep it locked because i tried to escape last week to find leo.

"hello Kathryn, how are you feeling?" the doctor asks.

"the same. where's leo? have u seen him?" i ask.

"my answer is the same it always has been. no. no i havent seen leo." he says. "take your medicine please"

"why? why am i taking this? it makes me see weird things and it makes my head hurt. please i dont want to take this medicine" i say upset.

"it will make you better" he says.

"i hate it here, i wanna leave!" i yell. the doctor leaves as i yell "it was the man!! i saw the red man! he did it!!" and i start to cry. i miss leo. everyone thinks im crazy. i wish my parents didnt die. i wish leo was with me. i wish i was home. i wish i had a friend here. i sit there, dozing off when the doctor yells at me to take the medicine again from the hallway. i take the medicine, and almost instantly my head starts to pound, and its like i enter an alternate universe. i open my eyes and the walls are dripping with blood, and my door is open. i walk to the hallway, not being handcuffed to my bed anymore, and i see a ton of black figures hovering over each patient. they are totally unaware of the demon that haunts them. there is blood everywhere, and the nurses are hanging from the ceiling.

"are you okay? why are you guys hanging there?" i ask confused. no response. i think theyre dead. i walk over to my friends room, sammy.

"hi sammy how are u doing?" i ask, staring at the demon sitting next to her.

"i see the red man" she says.

"what? what are u talking about?" i ask, horrified.

"HES BEHIND U, RUN RUN RUN RUN RUNNNN" she screams bloody murder. i start running, my head is pounding. what the hell is going on? i really am loosing my mind. why is the red man following me? why is this happening? then everything goes black....
