Paper heart

Faded World

Light flooded over me the to clean smell filled my nose a thin sheet drapped around me I know where I am

"I see your up!  I'm Joyce Mooney!" A woman maybe in her teens with bleach blond hair but at the ends they were all sorts of weird wacky colours, jumped up and down held out her hand

" Oh Mooney, like in Harry Potter?" I shook her hand but her face went funny and she laughed nervously

" Something like that sure!" Her grasp tightened

" Are you a nurse?"

" No, but close enough" she smiled and laughed, this girl must be crazy but something about her was very comforting she fixed her leather jacket she was in all black her boots where high, emo maybe but it would be rude to ask, where the h*ll was my family?  Just then a man with a lab coat came running in

" Joyce don't talk to her you can't let her know about you, not untill later, and you're not supposed to be up here!"

" I'm sorry I wanted to make a new friend with the land dweller!" Land dweller? What is going on?

"Excuse me, Where am I?" I asked, I thought I was at a hospital but now I'm not sure, this weird feeling came back

"You're inbetween the Land and the Under" what? " this is the inbetween!" These people must be crazy " Well as we like to call it Faded World"

"So I'm a land dweller?" I asked

" Well" he thought for a moment "yes, yes you are!"

"So this is the inbetween?"

" Yes" he seemed a bit annoyed

"But this is a hospital?"

" Kind of.  Now I'm very busy at the moment so Joyce please show here around but don't tell her too much. Ok?"

" Yes And my name is Mooney only my friends call me Joyce or was it the other way around"

" It was the over way around and I am your friend" her face went funny into a hideous rage

"You are no friend to me you scoundrel get away from ME!" I put my hand on her shoulder

"There's no reason to be afraid I'm here it's ok" what am I doing I don't even know her

" He's trying to blind us he'll send us there he'll take out lives Ethel you have to listen to me"

" H-h-how do you know my name I n-n-n-never told you"

"Please follow me you have too or you'll be lost I can't do that again!"

" Again?" Suddenly her eyes roll back into her head and she falls to the ground in a heap the man standing behind her with a shot of blue liquid that was almost gone.

" Sorry for that" suddenly I felt a jab in my arm "goodnight! You'll never see your friends again."
