The White Rabbit

White Room Straight Jacket

"Excuse me? We're here to visit a Mr. Danny Fenton?"

The receptionist didn't bother looking up from her computer, "name please?"

The dark skinned boy pushed his glasses up as he squeezed the hand he was holding reassuringly, "Tucker Foley and Danielle Phantom?"

The woman looked up and gave the beret wearing boy and beanie wearing toe headed girl a pitying look, "one moment please."

She stood up and walked through a couple of swinging doors while Tucker looked down at the thirteen year old who's hand he was holding, "that can't be good..."

The girl snorted, "you think?" She said rhetorically.

A man with long grey hair pulled into a pony tail came from behind the swinging door, dressed in a white coat as he gave the two a warm smile, "hello, I'm Dr. Vladimir Masters, but you may call me Vlad. I am Daniel's Psychiatrist for as long as he stays in the Amity Gardens Institute. Are you Daniel's friends?"

Tucker returned the smile, but his was a bit more worried, "yeah, uh, can you tell us what's wrong with Danny?"

The Dr. frowned and sighed, "I'm afraid, that I have some bad news. Please follow me to my office."

He walked through the swinging doors and the two teens exchanged glances before following. They walked down a long white hallway until Vlad came up to one of the pine wood doors and opened it, stepping into an office with fully stalked bookshelves, an oak desk, a red plush couch behind the desk and two matching chairs in front of it. Tucker and Danielle took the chairs while Vlad sat behind his desk with a sigh.

"I'm afraid, that there is no easy way of saying this," he said grimly, folding his arms on his desk, "Daniel was given a special session to help him recover his amnesia and perhaps find the source of his skitsophrenia, but I'm afraid instead of helping it caused him to go into..." He sighed.

"Is Danny going to be alright?" Tucker asked, brows scrunched together in worry.

Vlad shook his head, "he has gone into a state of shock, he hasn't responded to anyone, not even Ms. Umbridge, since the session. I warned the boy that he might not have been mentally ready for such a thing, but he was insistent, and now..."

The doctor sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose, "I take full responsibility for this screw up, I went against my better judgement and now in all likelihood...Daniel won't be able to wake up again."

"What was so bad that it caused Danny to snap like that?" Danielle asked.

Vlad shook his head, "anything you need to know can be found on the news-"

"The news ain't saying shit!" Tucker snapped, "all it said was that a kidnapper and murderer was arrested! All we know is Danielle's brother and my bestfriend had been missing for two years and next thing we know Danny's here and Dan is..." He trailed off, looking away in grief.

Vlad gazed at them for a long time before he shook his head, "I believe Daniel has been in a delusional state since he was first found. Ms. Umbridge however could tell you. She is responsive, but she has been shown to have made herself emotionless except for some occasions when we have to sedate her. I'll ask you not to push too hard when you talk with her."

Tucker and Danielle nodded in response to the warning before Vlad sighed again and stood, "I'll show you to where she is when she's not in her room."

The teens stood and followed the doctor back out into the hallway, heading further down until they come to an open room. There by the window was a girl of about eighteen with long black hair that looked like it hadn't been brushed in weeks, wearing white scrubs and soft velcro shoes. She was the only one in the room at the moment, simply gazing out the window into a yard with brick walls surrounding it. Vlad walked up to her and stood by her side.
