Alison

9

A couple of days went by and Alison was already starting to feel the weight of the place. You had people running around with pissy underwear on their head, and you had some people banging on everyone's doors at night. She was not crazy...so she didn't belong here, she would leave soon and that's why she had been studying the floor plans on the white, paint chipped wall, while everyone thought she was daydreaming. They were currently sitting in the fun room, as the orderlies called it. It was filled with books, game boards and a couple computers, "Alison, you've been exceptional today, you may now use the computers." Orderly Rebecca said placing her hand on Alison's shoulder and smiling. Alison returned the fake smile and walked over to where the monitors were sitting. Chino was sitting on top of one of the desks, digging in his nose and talking to his dead cousin. Alison rolled her eyes and took the desk next to him. There were two old school computers on each desk, and only two desks. No way was she about to sit next to him so he could place boogers on her. She made that mistake yesterday. Logging on the computer, she started searching on google for clues about her dreams...what they meant. Googling demonic possessions and telekinesis brought her to Calvin Langford. He was on youtube with videos of him,moving things with his mind! She wasn't alone!!! He would be able to help her figure out what was going on and how to find and save Francine! Her fake smile turned into a genuine one as she watched some more videos of this Calvin Langford. "Glad to see you're finally coming around, it's time for your meds." Rebecca walked over to Alison with a plastic cup of water and small clear cup of pills. A white long one, a green small circle one, and a huge pink one. Alison took the cup without taking her eyes off of the screen, off  of the tanned boy with the short brown curly locks. She put the pills under her tongue and drunk the water. When Rebecca walked off, she took them out and gave them to Chino. A few minutes later, officer Michaels walked in and looked at her. He was a gorgeous man, and he knew it. She wondered if anyone had told him that he looked like Joe Jonas. "You could get in trouble for that." He smiled and walked up to her taking a seat in the empty chair. "For what?" Alison asked, turning off the computer and turning to face him. "You gave Charles your medication." He said pointing at the camera in the corner.The blood drained from Alison's face as she realized she was caught. How had she not seen that? "It's okay. I'm not going to tell on you. I know that shit that they feed to you guys, helps turn you crazy or a zombie. And I know you're not crazy." He said. "Wait...you don't think I'm crazy?" She asked, looking at all the patients walking around in these blue scrubs. "No. You haven't done one thing to even give me that assumption. You are in total control of your senses and movements. You are fully functional and you follow every direction given to you. Alison Troy, you are not crazy." He said standing up and walking away.  She stood up and adjusted her scrubs. It would soon be time for bed and she was going to make her move soon.  Everyone got a shot at night to help them sleep. They said May was the reason why. She was the girl who bursted out of her room at night and woke everybody up, causing chaos on the 3rd floor. "Goodnight Wellington." The intercom blared signaling everyone to go to their rooms. Rebecca would come to the rooms and administer the shots.

Alison went to her room and waited behind the door until Rebecca got to her room. "Alison?" She called out walking inside. Alison hit her in the back of the head with a statue, knocking her out cold. She hit the floor and Alison quickly put her in the bed and put that venom in her arm, so that she wouldn't wake up until morning. Grabbing the access cards and keys, Alison ran out of the room and down the hall to the fire escape for the third floor. She knew that the security and orderlies had to go to the fourth floor every night to restrain big Gordon so she swiped the card, unlocking the door. She hurried down the steps and ran across the yard. Fumbling around with the keys, she had to find the right one to unlock the gate. She was nervous, and her palms were sweating as she slid through it. Heading for the woods, she made a run for it. Free to find Calvin, then get her sister back and prove her innocence!
