Asylum ➸ c.h

Two>>

Not his type?! Should I take that as a complement? Or should I be worried? I shook my head and got up walking out of my room and looking left and right down the hall, Luke went left so I'll go right. I walked down the hall until I came to a set of large doors that read ' Activity Room ( No Family Or Friends Allowed )' perfect. Pushing the doors open was a struggle because they were very heavy until a hand appeared from next to me pushing it open with ease and walking past without letting me even mutter a thank you.

"Hi! Hello! Hi!" said a girl that looked a few years older than me, her blonde curly hair bounced from side to side as she jumped with enthusiasm. "I'm Skylar! Or you can call me sky or whatever you want I really don't care! What's your name? I bet it's pretty just like you!" she said with a high pitch voice, she reminds me of a Disney princess with her hair and big green eyes. "I'm Raven" I said smiling as politely as I could, she seems so happy, but she is starting to give me a headache, if she seems so happy then why she is here? She smiled and took my arm in hers and we started to walk around the activity room, which had concrete floors and walls and smelt of urine, badly. "That is such a unique name! like mine! Okay well let's get you settled and I'll introduce you to everyone! Well everyone that isn't mean to me because the people that are mean to me I don't really talk to because I don't want to go back to the west wing because nobody likes the people there and I looovvveee to be liked" she said in one spurt making me giggle softly. Sky walked me around showing me to everyone, most people grunted at me or screamed at me, charming right? But I guess that's what an asylum is like " And here we have the best people in this stupid place" she said gesturing her hand to two boys, one with a rat on his shoulder and blonde dirty hair and the other one was more muscly and but had curly hair with a blue bandana wrapped around his head.

"This is Ashton" she said sitting next to the curly haired wrapping her small arms around his big one and putting her head on his shoulder " and that's Michael" she continued gesturing to the kid with the rat. They both looked up with blank faces and nodded "hi, take a seat" said Ashton reaching out his hand to the extra seat next to Michael "um, okay" I said taking a seat next to him and moving my chair further away from him.

"What are you in for?" Asked Ashton looking over at me from across the table drumming his fingers on Sky's thigh "I burned my uncle alive in his own home, for reasons I would much like to keep to myself" I said crossing my arms and leaning back on my chair, Michael next to me turned away and let out a muffled laugh, Ashton giggled and leaned forward making a fist with his hand I smiled and did the same lightly touching his fist with mine. "That's epic! I'm in for pyromaniacs and murder too!" said Ashton with glee which both made me chuckle and I bit worried that he was proud of his crime. "What are you here for?" I asked Michael, everyone looked at me with doe eyes and their mouths pressed into a straight line, Michael turned his body to me and opened his mouth "The animals speak to me" was all he said then returned to his original position and started to squeak to the rat. Right, weirdo..

The two in front of me let out a deep sigh and giggled to each other "what?" I asked, Sky leaned forward gesturing that I should too "he has some sort of disorder it changes every day he will say he murdered someone one day then change it the next, nobody knows what he's got but me and ash think it's a split personality kind of thing" she whispered covering the side of her mouth so Michael couldn't hear her. I nodded and sat back looking around the room with my hands in my lap.

"So what room are you in? Who is your cellmate? Guy or girl?, Crazy? Or psycho?" she said in that quick voice, Ashton smiled and rubbed her back. "Um room 189, I'm with I think his name is Calum? Or Cole..?" I asked, all three gasped and I knotted my eyebrows together "They put you with him? I have no problem with him nice guy, for someone that gutted 4 teenage girl's and hung them in the woods so the bears would eat them. But a female roomed with someone that is in here for killing girls! That's just-""crazy?" I said cutting Ashton off, he nodded and sat back in his seat. "I'm friends with him, he is a great poker player but I'm never with him when I'm with Sky or any other female for that matter" he continued and slung his arm around Sky's shoulders, I sighed and tucked some of my loose dark hair behind my ear.

I looked around the room, there were a few people playing cards and board games and nothing else, wow they should call this the social room instead of activity room. "I'm going toilet wanna come Raven?" asked Sky standing up and fixing her dirty dress that looked more like a bean bag than anything else, Ashton scrunched up his face in disgust and let out a giggle looking up at her with amusement/disgust "why do girls need to travel I'm packs to the toilet?" he said lightly tapping her on the butt as she stood up. She walked over yanking me on my arm propelling me out of my seat making Michael chuckle again but this time he smiled. "Safety in numbers ashy" she said giggling linking arms with me and walking away from the two boys.

We pushed open the 2nd set of doors and walked down the hallway to the toilets, Sky unlinked arms with me and ran into the stall. I shook my head and looked at myself in my mirror, god I look shocking, my eyes look so tired its unbelievable that I'm awake right now or standing for that matter, my hair looks mattered but I thank god that it's not and my lips need some serious Chapstick. Sky came bursting out of the stall making my jump and her giggle like a crazy person.. oh wait.

"Did I scare you?" she said bounding over to the sink and washing her hands, once done she relinked our arms and lead me out of the room "No" I said trying to sound like I wasn't someone that was scared of the little bumps that go on in the night, which I am. We re-joined the boys who were deep in conversation, they didn't even notice us when we sat down.

Sky sat down next to Ashton again and sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder looking up at me waiting for me to sit down. "Raven sit, please?" she said, I nodded and took the seat once more crossing my arms and leaning back. The three talked for what felt like forever and when I say forever I mean hours.

"One more hour until dinner!" screamed a man dressed in white standing by the door then he turned and slammed the door behind him causing me to jump. "The food here sucks" groaned sky and sighed dramatically leaning back into her seat earning a chuckle from Ashton and I "good thing mum brings me my food" he beamed down at her, she pouted and crossed her arms, he leaned down and kissed her head then stood up and walked straight out the door.

"Where is he of to?" I asked, they both shrugged and sky leaned forward "he goes to pray around this time when the church is empty.. not a lot of people go but he does, makes him feel better I guess. Then he will get lunch that his mum drops off at the front,, but I think she uses it as an excuse to see him ya know?" she said sitting back, I nodded and stood up fixing my shirt and hair then told the two teenagers I was going back to my room to take a nap.

I walked down the hall way and turned into my room where calum was still sleeping but there was a glass of water next to my bed one the floor with a note under it that read 'here you are, I thought you would like a glass of something pure before you become sinful - father George' I raised and eyebrow and sniffed the water. I don't trust priests or fathers or whatever they call them, I'm not a holy person ad god knows how holy I am. I sat on my bed and took a sip of it then decided it was fine and drank the rest in a swift motion.

The room started to spin seconds later and I felt my head hit my pillow and the room began to darken around me "pure my ass" was the last thing I said before the room was engulfed in darkness.
