"Who were you talking about? Eh doc? You told me I reminded you of someone. And that she runs around now. And who is "he" you spoke of?" I questioned seriously.
Its been another week and I havent heard that guard. But Ive made progress on cracking this psychologist. Hes almost like my robot.
"He was another patient of mine, he called himself Joker. Hes still here, but we found him another psychologist. She should be here today actually. You remind me of an old patient I had, she was a woman of many secrets. She had scars in her past." he answered mechanically.
I lowered my voice to a whisper, "and she will be here today?"
He nodded his head and I leaned back in thought.
"Say, Harvey. How do you feel about working here?" I asked sort of calmly.
He sighed and I noticed he had dark circles and wrinkles. He looked in my eyes and I saw past his brown eyes that he was tired. He needed a thrill. I saw regret.
"I think you know the answer to that, Cat." he answered. I smiled a little reassuringly.
"I do now, but Id want you to say it for yourself. It helps." I wouldn't say Im manipulating him exactly, just helping bring his inner self out. "...cmon Harvey. You can say it. You requested all cameras and recorders to be out of this room, remember?"
"I am James Harvey. I am 24 and I feel like I am trapped here. You are my only friend and I wish to have thrill in my life. This job isnt what I wanted in life and most days Ive thought about suicide. I..." he trailed off with slight guilt.
"You...?"
"I-I killed them Cat. I killed my family. I just snapped, and I killed them. I-I just..." he began to sob slightly and I tried to confort him. I got up even though they tied my feet together, and shuffled over to the opposite side of the desk. The straight jacket didnt help much but I layed my cheek on his bowed head in comfort.
Just because Im insane doesnt mean I dont feel. I can feel his grief. But theres something hes refusing to admit. I know it.
He picked me up with ease and stood up. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight as he grieved.
"I...actually felt relieved after...." he whispered and I had to admit I was shocked a little. Ah there it is. Didnt expect that but okay. He buried his head in my curly hair and murmured "Im a monster...."
I shook my head and grunted out, "Youre not a monster. Youre okay now right? Well thats all that matters. You focus on yourself. And doc?" I knew I had his attention "...Join me. Be my worker. Youll get that thrilling life ya want. When we are out itll happen. Just erase the feeling of regret. Youll feel better."
He stiffened and put me down. I looked into his eyes seriously and I saw consideration and huh, maybe a little of relief.
I jumped when the timer dinged and the guards shoved me on the ground for being infront of the psychologist. They yanked me up and before I turned the corner I saw him look at me and say "deal."
A smile lit my face as I was dragged in the halls and I laughed wildly.
God I cant wait to see what happens now.
.............................................................
I paced in my cell. The glass looking out wasnt enough. I need to release this energy.
The room spun and I growled harshly and began to scream. I screamed out all my frustrations and I felt the walls almost vibrate. I began to beat on the glass hard as vision after vision of abuse on me flashed in my eyes.
Everything spun now and I grabbed whatever I could and threw it. Voices screamed at me. STOP MAKE IT STOP!
DONT TOUCH ME!
IM NOT A FREAK!
WHAT DID I DO?!
WHERE IS MY SISSY? MY SISTER! PLEASE!
DONT LEAVE ME!
I screamed gibberish and I was yanked out of my room. I felt hands grab me everywhere and I couldnt stop thrashing.
I NEED A LAUGH!
I smashed my head back and slammed it against someone. I began to laugh crazily as my teeth latched onto someone's arm. I clamped down and pulled immediately tasting blood.
I was slapped across the face and I could feel them tie rope around my waist. All arms were off me and I panted in relief. I was dragged into the room with all my other cells and the men hooted and whooped for me kick their ass more. The guards began to drag me.
I sat down and let myself be pulled along. All the while laughing and smiling wildly.
As I was drug past cell H I looked to see a green haired guy smiling proudly at me. He stared intensely then threw his head back and laughed evilly.
I bared my teeth and they finally drug me out the doors and across the halls.
I knew I was going to the punishment room. Haha once again. I cackled wildly.
I saw feet. Two pairs and I looked up to see a familiar old man and someone beside him that made my heart stop. She didnt see me but he did. He looked shocked at me then her.
Blonde curly hair and those glasses. Oh my god. I was drug past her and halfway down the hall.
"Sissy?" I called gently, my voice echoed and she froze. She spun wide eyed around and a tear ran down my face but I just stared at her as I was pulled into the punishment room.
The last thing I saw was her staring to run for me desperately when the door closed.
