The life of Byun Baekhyun was anything but normal. As a child he was always left alone by the other kids. Even by other adults. They thought there was something strange about him and weird things always happened around him. As a teen those kids got oer the strange feelings and the weird things the saw around Byun Baekhyun. They decided bulling was a better way to pass their time. A much better way. 

Through out Baekhyun's life he had many visits to the police station and just as many to the hospital for unexplained accidents and injuries. Not that he could even try to explain the strange things that happened around him and only when there was darkness or shadows. The first time he tired to explain the happenings he was laughed at and told if he kept those thoughts he would be put away. 

But look where he was now. Trapped in a "mental hospital" or rather an insain asylum. For his thoughts. For thinking the shadows caused everything. For thinking they were the ones who hurt the people around him and himself. For not "being able to come to terms" that it "had" to be him who did it all. 

But Baekhyun knew better. He knew it was in fact the darkness that hurt him. That hurt the people around him. That got him in the situatuion he was in now. Traped for life in a hell hole where they say they are going to help you, but only see, to make you worse. 

Baekhyun sat next to a bared window in a warn out green chair. He sat waiting for the head of the psych ward to come lecture him. The air around Baekhyun was chilly, forcing him to pull his holy cardigan closer to his body. He had been sitting in the large, stone room for a little over 20 minutes now after being dragged into the room from his sleep quarters. Baekhyuns eyes gaze out over the dull, dying yard that swept around the entire building and vanishing into the thick forest that surrounded the gray walls of the asylum. 

Baekhyun pulled his knees to his chest, an uneasy feeling filling his gut. 

"Mr. Byun." Baekhyun just about jumped out of his skin hearing the head wardens amused, stern voice. Ke knew it wouldn't be long until he was punished for what happened last night. Even if he wasn't caught right away, he knew she would know it was him. It wasn't his fault though. The guy got to close to him in the darkness. He knocked the flashlight from Baekhyun's hands, allowing the shadows to swarm them, attacking them both. It wasn't his fault..."I hope you know we would be talking at some point about your actions last night." 

"It wasn't my fault!" Baekhyun exclaimed right off the bat. "It was the shadows! He- he knocked my flashlight from my hand-"

"Mr. Byun!" The warden clapped her small hands to gain Baekhyun's attention. "This is no place for such excuses. I had hoped by now, with how long you have been here, you would have grown out of your childish behaviors. You cause that man serious damage!" 

"It wasn't me! I'm telling you, it was the shadows!" Baekhyun jumped from the warn green chair. "They are the ones who do every-" A loud ringing filled Baekhyuns ears. His head snapped to the side, heat stinging one cheek. Baekhyun slowly looked at the Warden with teary eyes. "It wasn't me." He whispered. 

"Enough of your excuses! I am tired of hearing them. You, my dear boy, need to come to terms with what you have done." She growled. "You are dangerous to others and yourself. You hurt others and yourself. You need to see that there are no shadows. No one else is doing anything. This, this is all you Baekhyun. You are they only one to blame for these incidents. Only you." Baekhyun whimpered.
