She led us down a dim, vacant hall. The familiar smell of mildew and iron invaded my nose the deeper we walked into the hall. The cold air nipped at my skin, making me shiver and my teeth chatter.

I guess Annabelle was scared because she clung tighter. I look down at her and smiled reassuringly.

Annabelle

She seemed like she had it all figured out but I don't know how. She was insane but in a good way. I felt so comfortable with her even though we had only known each other for a short amount of time. I don't fully know what happened to me, but I know that it was bad.

I hate it here so badly. When I get out I'll make my own forever family and never send my kids away.

I sigh, then look up at her again, "Where are we going?"

"Betty says that he should be around back at this time," She answers without looking at me.

Who is Betty?

I constantly hear about her, but I never really find out much about her. We tip-toe through the hall when it gets darker. She makes me squat down as we walk and she slowly opens the double door.

The strong wind hit us and it felt so good. So did the sunlight at that moment. I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful sky either. I know it was a serious moment, but I completely forgot what the outside looked and felt like.

The sound of a strong, man's voice shook me to my core and when I looked over to see the guy without his cap and mask on, I turned to Melody in shock. The look on her face was terrifying. I watched her pick up a big rock in one hand and as she walked over to him I ran back inside. I couldn't watch.

Melody

She was shaking against me, but I didn't mind. She needed me and I needed to protect her. For some odd reason Betty disappeared when we made it to the door, but I didn't care. This was between me and him.

When we stepped out she wouldn't stop looking around. I guess it was her first time being outside in forever and seeing how excited it made her only made me want to kill him even more.

He looked over at us, then quickly dropped the cigar and squished it with his shoes. He yelled out, "Hey! Get the fuck back inside!"

I let go of her shaky hand, then walked over to the wall to get a rock. It was prickly but big enough for me to grip and bash his head. I walked over to him with the same devilish smile and I furrowed my eyebrows when I heard the door shut. I looked back to see that Annabelle was gone.

I was so confused. Why would she leave? Before I could question it anymore I was tackled to the ground and pinned down by my wrists. He squeezed so tightly onto my wrists that I completely and instantly lost feeling in my hands. I let go of the rock slowly and stared into his evil eyes while panting.

He smiled, then began to kiss my lips. My blood boiled, but I wasn't going to let him hurt me. I wanted to fight back. He let his rough hands trail down my body and I grabbed the rock quickly, smashing it into his left temple. I didn't stop until he fell over. I straddled him and continued smashing the rock into his forehead, smiling at the blood that poured from his ears and the now open wound.

The adrenaline rush mixed with the sound of his skull crunching beneath me felt so good. I didn't want to stop. I couldn't stop. He deserved death and everything else that affected him negatively. When I heard the alarm blare I stopped and looked up.

The flashing lights and the blaring alarm coming from inside let me know that I had to run. To hide. Anything. I dropped the rock, got up, then ran through the double door where I stood in shock. I wasn't in trouble. The orderlies were just chasing after the patients.

I didn't care honestly. I just had to find Annabelle and tell her what happened.

I ran through the hall and smiled when I saw her in the rec room. She was sitting on one of the foldable chairs, chewing her nails and rocking back and forth. She seemed tense. I tried to walk over to her, but I was grabbed by my waist. I don't know why I thought that it was the sick bastard from before, but I turned around to hit him, then let out a sigh of relief when I realized that it was just Betty.

What is she doing and why did she leave? I started to interrogate her, but one of the female orderlies walked in and blew her whistle. Again, the piercing sound of the whistle caused my ears to ring.

I couldn't understand her over the sound, but I knew that she was making us go to our rooms. I didn't want to. I wanted to talk to Anna. I had to make sure that she was okay, and of course, reassure her that he'll never hurt her again. Everyone started piling into the hallways except for me.

I stared at the lady, my deep brown eyes trained on her honey eyes. She couldn't make me do anything, especially after what just happened. I killed a man and I feel proud. I smiled victoriously and it lingered on my face even after she viciously grabbed me by my arm and took me to my room, pushing me in with force.

She's gonna meet the same fate as him. Just wait and see.
