Asylum

Part 5

They both seemed to be holding books, must be going to the library. They smiled at me as they walked past, I snarled back. They didn't seemed phased by it at all. Surprised I stormed back to my rooms and sat on my bed with a huff.

I can't be the only one who knows, can I? No, I can't be.

Kelly's P.O.V.

"Hey Kelly!" Crystal waved me down.

"Hey Crystal, I've been waiting for a while now," I raised an eyebrow. "What took you so long, and why is your hair soaked?"

"I took a bath, is that so bad?" she laughed. "Anyway, let's go. I've been dying for a new book since I've finished this one a while ago."

"You know, you can go to the library whenever you want, you don't have to go with me everytime. If you need a new book just go on ahead and go." I laughed.

She rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Well, the library is our spot to hang out, it would just be weird if I wasn't in there with you."

"Celina, enough!"

My ears perked up at the sudden yelling. It sounds like it was coming from down a more quiet hallway, Celina's medicine hallway. I gulped that we had to walk down that way to get to the library, and even more that she was in there currently.

"Kelly, what's wrong? You look pale," Crystal stopped.

I was zoning out. 'Isabel, enough!' I was staring at the floor, listening to the screaming coming from a room that I knew only I could hear.

'I didn't do anything wrong.'

'What do you mean you didn't do anything wrong? You did everything wrong!' *slap*

I winced and put my hands up as a natural reaction, blocking my face from anymore "hits" and dropping my book to the floor in the process. I crouched down to the floor.

"Please don't hurt me, I didn't do anything wrong," I whispered.

"Kelly, you're really scaring me, what's going on?" Crystal held onto my wrists.

"No, get off of me! I don't want to get hurt, not by him anymore!" I yelled, hitting my back against the wall.

My eyes were squeezed shut and my arms were over my head in a shield like manner. I was shaking in fear and breathing unevenly.

"Kelly, come on, let's just go to the library, there's nobody in this hallway to be afraid of. It's just me and some watchers and extras."

I slowly tilted my head up and peeked open one of my eyes. She stood there with her eyebrows knitted together and held my book out for me. I lowered my hands and opened my eyes completely at her, tears dancing on the edge of falling.

I glanced around, glad to see no one looking at us, and stood up, still on edge a bit. I heard loud footsteps, a door open and then slam shut. Celina.

I stopped where I was again, and Crystal stopped as well. I heard her growl from where we were and flinched again. Crystal pushed me to keep walking, so I did. We walked past her, she gave us one of her infamous growls and I tried my best not to flinch.

Once we got past her, we were on our way to the, hopefully, peaceful library. Where I hope Crystal doesn't ask what was wrong. And where I can pray to find that one book I've heard about.
