"It's really crowded in there..."
Dr. Lewis turns towards Jack when they reached a giant chrome door. Looks almost like an elevator door. 'Goin up ha ha' Anti laughs softly in Jack's mind, and Dr. Lewis clears his throat. Jack shifts his feet. "This", gesturing at the door, "is the Unit. You will be staying here. Rules will be given to you, as with any patient." He takes his ID badge and proceeds to scan it by a device by the door, and then types in a code. Jack's view is blocked from seeing it. The door opens, and the noise behind the doors seemed to intensify. Just about all eyes were on him, some filled with fear, others, sorrow. A few people looked about ready to explode out of excitement. Everyone is in normal clothes, and absolutely everyone is wearing hospital bracelets, some different colors, some people having multiple ones. Everyone is wearing the same kinds of socks as well, pale blue with little grip dots all around it. He takes a small step back. "W-wait!...you haven't told m-me..." before he could get a word out, two pairs of of blue gloved hands push him toward, and the door closes. "Hey!!" He bangs on the door. "I...don't..." one hit "BELONG HERE!" Now banging on the door many times and almost screaming. No one has come to stop him, all of the authorities are on the other side of the door.

"They won't listen you know" Jack turns around towards whoever said that. A young girl, close to his age with faded long purple hair and bright green eyes had walked forward from a group of people sitting in dark green chairs. "You've been here for way longer than you might think, everyone here knows who you are and how you have been this whole time" she gestures around her as she says this. "My name's October by the way, nice to meet you" October holds out her hand towards Jack. Unsure how to respond to what she said and still wanting answers, he shakes he hand. She doesn't let go of his hand, and puts her other hand on his.

"Uhm.." He takes a half step back, but she holds his hand firmly. October continues talking. "I know you are scared, but we are in this together okay?" She let's go. "Now, sit where ever your u want, there is really nothing to do other than to wait around for our psych docs and chat". 'I wonder what she is here for, she seems pretty normal...then again everyone does. I need answers so I'll sit with her" Going over to where October is sitting, the people there make room for him, and he sits down. Brushing his hair from his eye, he looks around at the people he is sitting with. They all are adults but no older than he is. "I've introduced myself, you all go ahead" October chirps in. A brown haired guy who was cleaning his nails looks up.

"My name is Mordecai and I'm here for stealing sheep and breaking their necks slowly in front of people" A giggle threatens to escape Jack, but he coughs to hide it. Mordecai gives a sly grin. " Not a lot of people here find that funny, it's okay to laugh, might as well, they all think we are insane", he looks up with cold dark brown eyes. "Anyway that's not the sole reason, I'm also here.." he sits up and props his head up with his hand on the arm rest. "..for poisoning people with sanitizer in their water. It's pretty funny watching them squirm around in pain, but then I call 911, ha ha..so no one dies".

"Creep, don't you think?". 'Not now Anti'.
"...ey...hey!" A light but firm shake on the shoulder. "I'm sorry...you were saying?" Jack shakes his head a little staying grounded. "I wasn't saying anything, you froze up and your head twitched a little. That's normal for you. Before you get your pants in a nicky, miss blonde over here will introduce herself. The blond turns towards Jack and grins. "Well then..the name's Barbara, but I go by Bella. I don't like my real name". Her accent sounds very familiar, and it saddens Jack for a moment. She taps October, but she gets an intense cold stare in return and she pales slightly. "Why are people so antsy around her.." Bella clears her throat. "I'm here because I have depression. Actually I'm leaving in two hours from here". She glances at October and nudges her. October was picking at a loose strand in the chair.

"Oh my turn. You know my name, but you call me Ember, ya know of that cartoon with the half ghost boy?" Jack nods "That's where I get the name from" her eyes tear up momentarily, but she blinks them away and looks dead into his eyes for a moment. "Now for my story". She crosses her legs in the chair.

"I had a boyfriend about three years ago, I loved him so much...I gave him my heart, we lived together and we were together for five years..and then.." her eyes darken "I saw him French kissing my older sister. I pushed him off of her and swore at both of them. My sister wasn't shocked, instead she looked at me and smiling. She said " You are pretty blind little sis, it took you way too long to notice. Why would you think anyone would love you. Just as gullible as our mother once was, O." "He was grinning at me..that snarky smile of his", "What can I say, your sister is smoking hot, I was only staying with you because I needed a place to stay. I'm not got going to love someone who is insane in the membrane" Ember looks like she's in a trance, but continues. "I stood their having flashbacks of whenever he said that tiny phrase as a joke. Of the times he could make up excuses to go places even if I knew he had nothing to do. I gave him his space, i didn't want to be controlling. After that, I felt my head hurting so much, I held my head and almost screamed but didn't pass out, not in front of them.

I instead left them there after I flipped them off" she smiles slightly and continues. " Two days went by, I didn't confront them about anything, they did however, constantly bully me like we were in school. That night I had got tipsy, and wasn't thinking clearly. I let my rage get the better of me. I thought well he did say she was smoking hot..why not make them both share it". Her eyes seem to still in a trance, but they widened and a smile stretches across her face. "I got a gasoline can and doused her dresser next to her bed and waited a long time until it dried slightly, and then freshened it with aerosol. An hour later she was getting dressed for bed and he was there with her. They were soon heavily making out, as I expected. I put on a ventilator I had and I got a match and walked right in on them, locking the door behind me" she takes a deep breath and exhales sharply "They started swearing and threw pillows at me.

I opened her drawer and held up a match and swiped it, holding in front of me and looked at them. As a pillow was thrown at me I dropped the match and the clothes immediately caught flame. My sister started screaming as the the fames spread all over her precious clothes and makeup. I looked at them swearing at me, but I didn't feel like it was real, like a dream really. I went over to his jacket on the floor and pulled out the thin knife he always carried around" everyone around Jack looked so fixated on her words. " without saying a word I turned towards them, and almost got distracted by the fire. It looked so beautiful. I walked towards him first and dug the knife into his lower spine, and twisted it. He immediately couldn't move, and I move him off my sister, and positioned him to face her.

She laid there, terrified for once. She tried to fight back but was handcuffed to the bed by him. Smoke was filling the room. I had forgotten that I locked the door. Both of them coughed a lot. I took the mask off for a second and let her see me smile at her, and then I stabbed her stomach, digging the knife jaggedly across her until it spelled 'FU' on her stomach and chest. They didn't die, I didn't intend for them to die too soon. The window was there, and so before I opened it, I looked back at them, the fire had spread all over the room, the bed as well. It was already eating at his leg's" Ember said this all calmly. "I looked at my sister who was struggling trying to break free and had tears streaming down her face. I felt nothing as I looked at them, and then opened the door and jumped out the window.

Of course I lived, I had passed out when I got the sudden rush of oxygen, I had forgotten to put my ventilator back on. I woke up to the house on fire and sirens. Was hand cuffed and taken to court. My father had come to defend my case and told the judge my "issues", talking about how I had split personality and schizophrenia, how I have had many psychotic breaks before. I don't remember them." Confusion crosses her face for a second "I had to plead not guilty on reason of insanity, or else I would've been imprisoned for two murders and several other acts of violence and activity, I'm not insane like they think...so that's my story" October breaks out of her trance and smiles genuinely. Jack stares at her with an almost dead stare, processing what she said. "I'm supposed to be scared, why aren't I".
