CHAPTER 20
*Jerome's POV*
"Vikk?!" I exclaimed upon hearing the recently woken person's voice.
"Who's asking?' The voice, which I'm sure is Vikk's says.
"A guy named Jerome. He says he used to be your friend." Sandren answers for me.
Sandren's an okay person. He doesn't trust me. I'm pretty sure he doesn't trust anyone, for that matter. He barely told me anything about himself except that he's about 20 (He can't keep track of time well, being stuck here) and that he's been here for 6 years.
"Jerome! You're here!? That sucks, but still. How is everyone? How long have you been here?" Vikk says, seeming much more awake than he was a minute ago.
"Shut up!" One of the guards yell from across the room."If you keep being annoying, I'll knock your cages over!"
"..."
We were quiet for a few minutes until I finally answered him, but barely above a whisper.
"Our friends are okay, except Mitch is here. I've been here for about three days, and Mitch has been here for around three months.So, how are you?"
He chuckles a bit. "I'm fine, except the fact that I'm here. So, what kind of experiment did they do on you? i'm a rabbit hybrid."
"I'm part bear. Mitch is-" I started,but Mitch cut me off.
"I'm part chameleon and they tested on my mind." He bitterly.
"Okay. So why don't you guys catch me up on what's been happening back home?"
*Mitch's POV*
I'm only really half listening to their stupid conversation. I'm know for sure that Vikk died. I saw it happen. I saw him die in so many ways.
Wow. I guess I'm insane now. I laugh at the thought. Was I ever really sane? All of the jokes, the conversations, they were my sanity trying to fight back. But it was always to small to win. Even my sanity knew that, and finally gave up.
It's easiest to think of them, my Sanity and Insanity, as people. Sanity is a child, growing attached to petty things. Insanity is me, but stronger. The person I've always wanted to be. Able to do anything or nothing, it just depends on me.
And now I am that strong person. Now that I've become friends with Insanity.
Does Jerome have a Sanity and an Insanity. I'm pretty sure everyone does, but unless you ally yourself with your Insanity, you can't see them.
"I hope your insane too, otherwise I'll get lonely. Sometimes Insanity can be a real bitch." I whisper.
"Mitch?Are you okay?" Vikk's worried voice carriers over to me from a few cages away.
"Vikk you shouldn't talk when your dead. It's rude." I scold him.
Jerome stares at me, clearly shocked. "Biggums, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." I say insistently, trying to make him see reason. "Nothing is wrong with me. I am perfect, like Insanity. You're the problemed one. Your an animal now. Your sane. I can't believe I ever loved you when I was sane."
