How Do You Manage?

In the mental facility of Lyx came a young girl name RCBY. She was scared and nervous to figure out what in the hell was going on in her life, but also fearless of others. The young girl was only 16, with most people in this facility were along the age of 13-14, and 30-35. She had a crowd that she could hang out with, but wasnt really into the whole "join the pack" type person. She was more of a "stand alone" gal.

It was a bright summer day when RCBY found the cafeteria for the first time in weeks. She had been starving and eating from her own blood to keep the peace between herself and her other demons in her head. You could call her "the outcast" of the group.

As she made her way to the cafeteria, a psych warden found her and told her to go back to her cell or she will be thrown to the outside world and be sentenced to have all the doors locked from the inside.

Going outside to get some fresh air sounds like a good idea, but mind you, theres a 20 foot wall around the perimeter of the campus square, and the only wildlife to kill and eat is over on the other side of the wall.

She decided to stay inside, only to find out that dinner was being served in the cafeteria 20 minutes. She begged and pleaded for the warden to let her eat and showed him the scars that she made on her wrist with the metal nails that she made when she was only 13.

The warden, laughing in her face told her that she will only get dinner if she pleaded more and more. This wasnt too fair considering that RCBY could have bleed out her own blood.

The warden stopped laughing as she was escorted to the cafeteria where a group of people started to stare at her, wondering who she was, and how she did what she does to get through life.

The warden walked off in a huff, knowing he has better clients to deal with.

The table down the way heard RCBY saying to the guard that she wanted to go away from here.

There was a loud yell for a name, but RCBY wasnt able to hear it. The loud yell happened again, but this time, some metal object was thrown right in front of RCBY's feet.

Thinking it was a knife, RCBY picked it up. Glaring at the sharp object she made the assumption to be true as it was a small sharp kitchen knife. She thinks to herself, "This will do." She puts it in her pocket carefully and walks over to the table that throw the sharp object at her.

"You know, I could have thrown that better, right at your face, right?" RCBY said sternly, not trying to pick a fight.

"It seems like you are having trouble, we would like to offer you the chance of a lifetime, only if you wish to accept will you become, one of us." The voice said with a little bit of a rasp that was built up. "You see, its clear to me that you are a "stand alone" kid in the building that is call "The Mental Facility." "Its not wise to stay here, you have people that are looking out to get you, people that want you gone, and people that have a sense and taste for blood. Only a true stealthy person would know how to escape." The person said, as he starts to go on a dark backstory of his.

"Hey, look, sorry that I bothered you and all, but you threw a sharp object at me, so appearntly theres something you want from me." RCBY stated as she is saying proudly and sternly.

"Yeah, uh, hmmm." The person says as he stuttered. "I know we haven't met, but how do you manage a life of wanting to escape a place like this?"

RCBY can clearly tell that he was trying to piss her off. So she made him a deal. "You know what, I'll tell you how I manage, if you tell me the secret on how to get over that 20ft wall outside the building." RCBY exclaimed.

The man seemed intrigued, but also concerned. "Why would you ever want to leave this place?" The man said sarcastically.

"Why I want to leave? Is that even a question?" RCBY said sternly while staring at the guard that is waiting patiently to take her back to her cell.

As the guard is being sentenced to another side mission, RCBY lowers her voice, looks straight to the man and tells him, "Why I want to leave is none of your concern, what I need from you is a favor, and then I will maybe tell you why I want to leave."

The man is tempted to piss her off, only a matter if time before RCBY takes the knife  that was thrown at her and uses it on the guy who threw it at her.

"I'd suggest you dont piss me off, sir." RCBY exclaims.

"And why would I---"

RCBY takes the knife and stabs the man's hand. Blood gushing everywhere, the mans crew of cowards back away.

"Are you listening now?" RCBY said, with a tone.

"YES", the man cries.

"Good, now where do I go to get out of this god forsaken hellhole we call "The Mental Facility?" RCBY said sternly.

As he is aching in pain as the knife is still stabbed in his hand and bent backwards, the man says, "Down the hall, to the left, there are two guards, while they are sleeping, sneak into the office, the code is 31-4-15 4324 ENTER, grab the key from the desk, run to the front door, and book it, theres a little hole that was dug underneath  the wall that was attempted by another patient. Find a shovel, dig deeper, and tunnel your way to the other side. The wall is 5ft deep in width.

As RCBY is slowly taking the knife out of his hand, she gives him a smirk and walks off.

"What a dick..." the man mumbles under his breath.

RCBY turns around, waving the knife in her hand, tells the guy "what was that?" as she leaves the room.

RCBY hides the knife knowing she will get caught with it, and walks back the her room, knowing damn well that what she did would get her in trouble with the warden.
