The Secrets of Hellingly (boyxboy)

Chapter 4- Perfectly Insane

There's Felix on the side, being all adorable >>> 

          Nurse Carole let all the boys have free time while she and the doctors dealt with Ralph and Vinnie. When Carole dismissed the boys everyone stood up and left except Felix and Adam.

            Felix sat in his chair watching as the nurses tried to calm Ralph down. He had long scratches across his face where he had attempted to wipe Vinnie’s carrots off. Blood was slowly seeping out of the larger cuts and dripping into his eyes which only distressed him more. The guards were holding his hands down but he was still able to kick his legs out in an attempt to get them off of him.

            “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!” He shrieked. “I need a shower now! I need to wash off your foul germs!” He screamed at the guard. His shout was so loud that his voice cracked as if he had a sore throat.

            “That’s it. He needs a sedative,” Nurse Carole said. When she stood up from her chair Vinnie grabbed on to the pant leg of the nurse’s scrubs.

He was still laughing hysterically on the floor, but he managed to get a few words in, in between the laughter. “I don’t want a sedative Nursey! Please don’t make me take it!” He let go of the nurse’s pant leg, fell back onto the floor and continued his laughing attack.

“I don’t know Vincent. I think you need it too,” the Nurse said.

Vinnie’s eyes became wide as he tried to sit up straight. “No, no, no!” He shouted. “I’m fine! I’m perfectly insane!” He started laughing again. “I mean sane! I mean sane!”

The nurse started walking away towards the nurse’s station, and Vinnie started crawling after her. He grabbed on to her leg and hugged it tight to prevent her from walking any further.

“Vincent, you’re not doing a good job of proving that you don’t need a sedative,” she said. Vinnie looked as if he wanted to say something but his body was shaking with such strong laughter that all he could do was shake his head and grip onto her leg tighter.

Two doctors rounded the corner and rushed into the recreation room. Both doctors were holding a syringe of clear liquid. Felix watched as the woman doctor bent down beside Ralph and injected the clear liquid into a vein on his arm.

“Get off me! Stop touching me!” He continued to scream. Soon his screams died down as his words became garbled and he tried to fight the sedative.

His little body went slack when the drugs took effect. One of the guards who were previously holding Ralph down let go of his arms and glanced over at Nurse Carole and the other doctor. They were attempting to pry Vinnie off Nurse Carole’s leg so that they could inject the sedative into his arm.

“Vincent, let go of my leg!” The woman was swaying on the verge of falling over as she tried to shake off Vinnie’s embrace.

            “If I let go you’ll stick that in my arm!” He shrieked, holding onto the woman’s leg tighter as more laughter overtook him.

            The guard stood up and stepped over Ralph’s limp frame. “Nurse, we could just inject it into his neck,” the man said.

            Nurse Carole’s gaze flickered from the guard to the doctor standing beside her; she raised her eyebrows and nodded an affirmative. The doctor crouched down level with the crazed boy and lifted the needle. Vinnie opened his eyes just in time to see the needle descending on the right side of his neck. He let loose such a tumultuous scream that everyone in the room clapped their hands over their ears and the parrot in the corner squawked indignantly. Vinnie’s scream caused the doctor to jerk away from the boy and drop the needle to the ground.
