Life In The Asylum

The Life In The Asylum: Chapter 5

Roseanne's P.O.V

My blue eyes shook, darting my eyes around the dark room, "Ryder... Where are you?" I heard the voices in my head, 'He's gone Roseanne... He was killed... Your father is gonna kill you once he is done..' My body shot upright in bed, I turned on the light by clapping and Ryder shot up, "What is it Roseanne?! A dream?" I looked and saw Ryder, "Did you sleep in here?" He nodded, "Dineice told me you began to wake up screaming.. So, I decided to stay with you for a few nights... I snuck past the guard." I panted heavily and my body shook as I sweat out and shivered, my blankets and bed were wet and salty tears poured down my cheeks, causing my eyes to become bloodshot, I felt a pair of warm hands cup my cheeks and a white, straight-teethe smile, I could only smile back softly. Ryder wiped my tears and I lied down, he clapped his hands and the light turned off. I felt his arms embrace me as he lied down with me. "Goodnight Roseanne...." I smiled and giggled inside my head, "Goodnight Ryder...."

Talon's P.O.V

I looked at the wall in my office, it was covered of photos from a crime scene and my desk was littered with pencils, highlighters, and many Confidential Files, photos, forms, biographies, and wanted posters peeked out of the files. I took off my glasses and rubbed my strained eyes, I had been working for hours, I read the time, "1:30 AM..." I sneezed and looked to see the white and black tortoise shell cat named Marley. I patted his head and smiled, "Maybe Roseanne will change her mind... Maybe she will choose to accept that I do care... Just wait.." I repeated the conversation of me and my wife over and over in my head.

Roseanne's P.O.V

I looked to see a shadow cast over me, I sat up and ran my hand through my black hair, only to see Ryder smiling, he held a bag that smelt mouth watering.. It was McDonald's. "I hadn't eaten that in ages! How did you get it here?!" Ryder smiled, "I have my ways... Being the nephew of the Second of this loony bin of a business." I smiled and looked inside, seeing a egg and cheese McMuffin. I ate it gratefully with two hash browns, sipping on the cup of large sweet tea that Ryder and I shared, "Best breakfast in a asylum probably ever!" He laughed and kissed my cheek, I smiled at him and twirled my hair on my finger, "Ryder... Do you think I'm a monster?" I saw him shake his head immediately, my head shot back and I heard the voices again, 'Roseanne, don't listen... He is just going to leave you... Abandon you.. Just as your parents did...' I looked at Ryder, who's face was pale white, "Your eyes nearly rolled back in your head..." I shuddered, "Would you ever leave me Ryder?"
