*Cryrus's POV*
"Alright! Time to get up and eat dinner before you fully fall asleep!" Necia shouted and clapped. Which in case she didn't know was obnoxious and startling.
"What is for dinner though?" I asked with a slight yawn rippling out of my mouth.
"Well go and see. Also the new kids are already there and now it is time for you to get up!" She shouted and ripped my comforter off.
"Ugh! Ok! You don't have to bite my head off." I grumbled and crawled out of bed. When we got to the cafeteria I smiled and breathed in the most delicious scent in the world! That kind of food is called... MEAT!!! I rushed toward the slightly long line and stacked my plate with the very delectable meat. When I got enough, I grabbed a bottle of orange juice and walked to the table my new friends were located at and eating their meal.
"Hey guys! Have you tasted the meat?" I asked, excited to see what they thought of the cafeteria's own cooked meat.
"This is so much like heaven at how wonderful it tastes!" Lona said as she chomped down on her steak.
"I agree it tastes better than what my aunt makes!" Heth compared and licked his lips that was covered in sauce.
"Hmmm I think it tastes better with pudding to me!" Trenth said with a grin stretched across his face.
"Dude! don't make me lose my appetite!" I half joked as I heard his comment.
"As for I think it's better with salt and pepper!" Dem said while shaking both the salt and pepper shakers.
"Love my steak with some lemon if you ask me." Jake commented and sliced off a piece of his meat and into his mouth.
"Ah but Jake if you want sour tastes buds then taste those wonderful, glowing, and sour lemons over there!" I happily suggested as i pointed in the direction of the lemons. "Oh I know let's do a contest of who could handle the sourness while swallowing those lemon juices!" Lona excitedly suggested. "WAIT! Can we squeeze the lemon into some foam cups over there?" Heth pointed out. "Alright let's go get the ingredients!" Dem shouted. After we gathered the supplies and squeezed the lemon juice out we have begun on the count down! "Ok, on the count of 3 swallow it all but make sure it touches your tongues!" I demanded. "Ok 1...2...3!" I counted.
After we all gulped it down we faced each other and kept trying to making each other lose by playing with our food in a weird way. While we were concentrating on winning, some other kids walked by and either laughed, or just plainly giggled at our apparently funny faces. Of course, they couldnt handle the sourness and failed against me! "YEAH BABY!!!! AHAHA!!!! YOU ALL WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME!!!!" I victoriously shouted. "Ugh!" All of them groaned. "Alright you bunch of rowdy kids go to your rooms and sleep!" Necia, out of nowhere demanded. "Aw alright. C'mon guys." I said threw my contents on my tray into the trash. Then my friends followed after me.
"OH!!! Heth! Oh Heth~! Can I get a piggy-back ride? Pretty please?" I pouted cutely, if I say so myself. Because I always use it on Necia and it works everytime when I want something.
"Agh I give up c'mon hop on my back." He groaned after releasing a sigh but slightly smiled.
"YAY! Now I feel taller than all of y'all!" I happily shouted and fist-pumped the air.
"Huh your kinda heavy. What do you eat Cyrus?" Heth said with a playful smirk.
"Hey! I am not heavy! Dem, do I look heavy?" I asked him.
"Um from my point of view you seem to have a regular weight for a girl your age." Dem said.
"Oh yeah speaking of it how old are you guys?" I asked.
"Um I'm 16." Lona said.
"I'm 16 and a half!" Dem shouted.
"Sheesh lower down your voice man. Also I'm 17." Heth said. Ah, so that explains why he's so tall.
"I'm 17 too." Jake said and pointed at himself. "I am 16 and a half." Trenth said while walking beside his brother.
"And now for my age! I'm... 16 and a half now!" I smiled . "Aw I'm the youngest? I'm only 16." Lona said and frowned. "Cheer up, my friend! We are still hanging out." I said to her to cheer her up.
We each walked up to our respective rooms and said our goodnights to each other. I told them about the secret camaras around the nooks and corners of their rooms which made them a bit praranoid but they still went to try and go to sleep. I closed my door and stipped down to slip into my plain white pajamas and climbed into my slightly stiff bed. My hopes to have good dreams almost came true but a memory I can never ever forget turned my dreams into horrid nightmares. Because of that memory I was sent here, to this loony bin. Although I act happy, I still have my moments of sadness creeping into me.
It feels like I'm awake but dreaming. Everything feels real, but I somehow know that it's fake. I grip my head as the emptiness seems to swirl into colors. I recognize the place, my home. I reach out to touch the walls but my hands go through them. I remember voices, my parents? Yeah, I know they are talking about me, but they were talking in a venemous tone.
"We should leave her there, right?" I heard my father say.
"Why not? She is not our daughter or responsibility." My mother agreed.
At those words, I see my younger self standing behind the wall of the living room where my parents were. I was clenching my fists, unclench, clench. Repeating that over and over.
"After we send her there and make up a story, let's leave and never come back. We could have a new house without that monster!" My mother said.
It's sick. I was labeled as a monster. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I saw my younger self, she or I had burning tears running down our faces. My younger self wasn't crying from the bruises, cuts, scraps, or twig-filled hair. Her friends almost killed her, but she just wanted someone to love her.
"It's done, let's get her to a 'special' place, then leave." My father said and started to go up the stairs to his and my mother's room to pack up. My younger self and I noticed that mother was there with her deep red 6-inch high-heels. I was lifted from the floor and shoved into the car. After that, everything looked like such a blur.
I blankly wiped my face free of my salty tears as the scene disappeared. Once again I heard that same voice. The voice that helped me forget everytime. I smiled as I looked at the man. "Do you want to forget?" I nod. "You know the price, right?" Once again, I nod. I welcomed the burning sensation in my eyes. It was like I was being set free from my silent pain. Then, I was gone. Not completely though. My body still there but my conciousness gone. Replaced. The spirit controlling my body smiled and opened my eyes, they were a beautiful but malicious light purple.
