Disclaimer: Don't own Shutter Island

Author Note: This story takes place five years after the movie ended.

I wrapped my sweater closer to my body to block out some of the cold wind as I stared out into the ocean from the ferry. I knew where I was going and didn't like it. I was twenty seven years old and was supposed to have my life ahead of me. Now all that stopped as my husband had me shipped off to Shutter Island. You hear horror stories but never think you'd ever end up there. That's what happening to me.

I tried to leave my abusive husband. He told me if he couldn't have me then no other man will. This is my punishment. No one believed me when I tried to tell them what he really did to me. He was a respected man; the kind with the charming good looks and was rich. He knew I didn't marry him for the money which was why he chose me I guess.

"Clara, you okay?"

I turned and looked at Chuck Aule. He was the only one that believed me and tried to help me.

I cleared my throat to speak. "Just enjoying the last piece of scenery that I'll ever see," I said giving him a light smile.

He moved behind me and but his arms around me pulling me closer to him. This was what I loved about him. He was kind and caring. Only wanted what was best for me.

"I promise you it won't be the last," He told me.

I could feel his breath against my ear and it felt good.

"I know you did everything you could," I said barely a whisper.

"I will get you out."

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

"I am keeping it," He said turning me around to face him.

I still had bruises on my body from Ray's last attack on me so Chuck was gentle. I put my hand up to his face.

"I just want you to be happy. You deserve to be with a woman who's on the outside."

He silenced me by kissing me. It felt real good to feel again. When it wasn't pain I mean.

Slowly the ferry pulled up to the island.

"Just do what they say and you'll be out in no time," He said giving me a light smile. "Blue eyes."

That was his nickname for me because I had the clearest blue eyes anyone has seen. He grabbed my hand and escorted me off the ferry.

OOOOOOOOOO

Chuck held me close as we entered Dr. John Cawley's office. Dr. Cawley stood up and greeted us.

"Mr. Aule," He said shaking his hand and then turned to me. "You must be the lovely Clara Liotta. Do you know who I am?"

I looked at Chuck who nodded at me. I then looked back to Dr. Cawley. I licked my lips nervously.

"Dr. Cawley. You're going to help me get better."

He smiled at me and released my hand. "That's right. Now if you'll two please take a seat," He said gesturing to the two empty chairs and sat down at his desk chair.

I sat down on the left as Chuck sat down on the right. I watched as Dr. Cawley shuffled some papers which I assume was about me.

"If everything goes accordingly you'll be able to leave in a month," Cawley said.

I looked at him in shock. "That soon? I thought I was going to have to stay here for the rest of my life," I said with a frown.

Dr. Cawley laughed. "No. You have good humor. I know what happened to you wasn't your fault, so if we make believe to your husband that your stable like you actually are now we'll be able to get divorce papers sent to the island for you. It'll be the safest way for you to leave him."

"I don't know what to say," I said stunned.

"Just follow the rules and in no time you'll be able to move on with Chuck here," Dr. Cawley said with a smile.

"Thank you, doctor," I said happy now.

Chuck cleared his throat. "Doc, where would you be placing her in the meantime?"

"Ward A," Dr. Cawley said. "She's not a danger to anyone and will be perfectly safe. It's almost dinner time so I suggest you get to the dining hall before all the seats are taken."

We all stood up and Dr. Cawley escorted me to the dining hall.

"If you need anything don't' be afraid to ask," He told me and looked at Chuck. "I need to talk to you."

Chuck looked at me. "Are you going to be okay?"

"I'll be fine," I told him. "At least Ray can't hurt me in here."

He kissed me on the cheek. "I'll see you in the morning," He said leaving with Dr. Cawley.

I looked around the dining hall and found an empty table in the far back. I walked over to it and sat down. An orderly placed a tray of food in front of me and a glass of milk then walked off to the next patient.

I heard my stomach growl as I stared at the thinly sliced turkey meat with a side of mashed potatoes, green beans, and a roll. I picked up my plastic fork and dug into the mashed potatoes which were the creamiest I ever had.

"You don't want to eat that," A voice said startling me.

"Excuse me," I asked and found myself staring at a handsome man but was obviously a patient here.

"It's poisoned," He whispered.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Poisoned huh," I said playing along. "Why would they poison me?"

"So they can drug you and control you like they did to me. I'm telling you this for your safety."

He seemed really worried for me but I decided to play along in case he wanted to hurt me.

"I already ate some and I'm fine," I said. I dipped my fork in some mashed potatoes and offered some to him. "I promise you its okay."

He eyed it as if he was starving. I put the fork up to him mouth and he ate some.

"That wasn't bad," I said putting the fork down on my tray. "My name's Clara. What's yours?"

He smiled at me. "Teddy. Teddy Daniels."

A/N: Should I continue? Reviews please!

Also I kind of put an actors name in it for fun. Can you guess who?
