I do not own The Silence of the Lambs or any of the characters, but I do own Kelsey Black.
Story start
I sighed as I sat in front of my new boss, Dr. Frederick Chilton. I gave a little shudder as I remembered the lustful gaze he gave me when I first entered his office for my interview about working here a few days ago. Now I sat in his office again today as he was going over the rules for the different parts of the hospital.
"Are you listening to me Miss Black?" Dr. Chilton asked me and I gave a nod. He smirked and gave me a look over. "Well I think you will be just fine here, now go and change into your uniform before starting your shift," Dr. Chilton said as he handed me some folded clothes, which was my uniform. I gave him another nod and stood from the chair in front of his desk.
When I grabbed the clothes, he grabbed my wrist in one of his hands. "Be careful Kelsey, and if you ever need anything give me a call," Dr. Chilton said with a perverted stare and I shook his hand off with a small fake smile. "I'll do that sir, now excuse me," I said and walked out of his office. I sighed and shook my hand like it had been scorched or something. "Great I just had to get the perverted boss that is about twenty years older than me and goes after any woman," I thought as I rolled my eyes and entered the faculty women's restroom.
No one else was in the restroom and I let out a loud sigh. "I hope this outfit isn't too revealing," I thought as I stared at the folded clothes in my hand. I set the clothes on the counter and picked up the top piece. I sighed in relief when I saw that I was holding a white shirt that was not revealing. It had a little bit of a v neck instead of a circular neck, but it wasn't a deep v neck or anything that would come anywhere close to showing cleavage.
I quickly changed out of my shirt and into the white t-shirt. I next picked up the last piece of clothing and I smiled even more when I saw that it was a white lab coat. "So that means I can keep on my jeans," I thought happily. I slipped on the white lab coat and smiled at my reflection in the restroom mirror.
My shoulder length black hair reached my shoulders and I smiled at the white tips in my hair. "They blend in with my lab coat," I thought with a small laugh as I smoothed my hair a bit. My green eyes twinkled back at me when I laughed and I made a silly face at the mirror. "Alright time to work," I thought after smoothing my uniform out. The mirror showed my tall and healthy body walking away as I opened the restroom door.
Now I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world or anything like that, and I'm definitely not a model. I'm just an average twenty-four year old woman that is about 5'8" in height and has a healthy body. I could definitely hold my own in a fight if I had to, and I could run away pretty quick if there was a need to. For example, if there was a swarm of bees flying after me, then I would definitely be running as quickly and as long as I had to.
I smiled when I saw Barney standing in the hallway. Barney is one of the few employees in this place that I had met and became friends with. He was a nice guy to talk to about pretty much anything. He also told me some valuable information about some of the patients that I would be bringing food to and checking on during the day. I was very prepared to watch myself around Miggs.
"Hello Kelsey, are you starting your shift now?" Barney asked as I walked over to him. I gave a small smile and nodded. "Yes I am, you starting your shift as well?" I asked him. Barney smiled and nodded his head. The two of us walked to the room that led to the hallway that held Miggs, Dr. Lecter, and a few others were in. I grabbed a clipboard that held information on certain patients and I walked through the now open door. I stepped into the hallway and saw the people kept in the cells give me curious looks. "Oh right, this is the first time that they've seen me," I thought.
I stopped at the first cell and gave the person in the cell a small smile. "How are you today? Is everything alright?" I asked. The man gave me a nod and I nodded back. I stepped to the next cell and repeated the process. The man gave me a small whispered I'm fine and a nod. I smiled at the man but my smile disappeared when I stopped in front of Miggs's cell.
"I smell your cunt," he said with a crazy and perverted look in his eyes. I rolled my eyes and said, "How are you today Miggs? Is everything alright?" Miggs just kept saying perverted things to me and I sighed. "Alright well since you refuse to answer my questions, then I will assume that you are acting like your normal self and that everything is fine," I said to Miggs before walking to the next cell.
I was a little surprised when I saw the bullet proof glass cell, but not that surprised because I had been informed about all of this earlier. "Hello Dr. Lecter, how are you today? Is everything alright?" I asked. Dr. Lecter was lying on his bed and staring at the ceiling, but he looked at me after I stayed in place for a while waiting for his answer. "You're new here," he finally said and I nodded. "I started working here today," I said as he sat up on his bed before standing and walking over to the glass.
"So how did you get a job here? Did you sleep with that man Dr. Chilton or did he just give you a job out of the kindness of his greedy heart?" Dr. Lecter asked me with a challenging look. I gave him a bored stare and said, "I got a job here because of my resume not from what you are thinking, and I never would do something disgusting like that for a job. I'd rather be unemployed if that was the only way to get a job. Now then will you please answer my questions, because I would hate to leave without knowing if there is anything the matter?"
Dr. Lecter gave me a small smile before saying, "You seem like a very interesting person to figure out. To answer your questions, I'm fine today and yes everything is alright. Now then may I know the name of the one that will be checking on me every so often a day for a while?" I nodded and said, "Thank you for answering my questions Dr. Lecter. Now to answer your question, my name is Kelsey Black. Well I will see you in a little while." I gave him a nod and walked away from his cage.
Miggs gave me a few more perverted comments before I left the hallway and entered the room where Barney was. He gave me a smile and asked, "So how did it go?" I shrugged and said, "It went as well as I guess it could have gone." Barney nodded and the door closed behind me once I was fully in the room. I sighed and set down the clipboard. Barney gave me a curious look and I answered, "Sorry I'm just tired. I do not get much sleep."
Barney gave me a small nod and I sat down on a chair. I looked at the clock as I remembered how I was not able to sleep but maybe only three hours last night. "It's getting worse," I thought as I put my head into my hands. As I grew older the time that I slept decreased. My lack of sleep was not because of some drug or anything like that, but it was my mind that kept me awake.
Dark thoughts of my childhood always haunted me when I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I had tried many different types of sleeping pills and methods to get to sleep, but none of them work. My doctor told me that I should talk about my past and it will make it stop bothering me. However he does not know that I've already told someone of my past, and the past still haunts me even after talking about it. The person that I had talked about it with was my one true friend in this world.
My friend never judged me as I told her everything, instead she accepted me even after what I told her. Sadly my friend no longer lives in this world anymore. The angels took her away from me a few years ago. She was killed in a car accident. To this day I still have not forgiven the drunk driver who was driving the car that crashed into my friend's car and killed her. I know that people should learn to forgive, but I just can't. I wish I could forgive, but my mind tells me not to forgive.
I closed my eyes and let out another sigh. "Snap out of it Kelsey, now get back to your job," I thought as I opened my eyes and stood from my chair. Barney looked at me and I said, "Well I'm going to go get their meals now." He gave me a small smile as I walked out of the room. As I headed to the kitchen that cooked the meals for the occupants of the hospital, I walked past a pacing Dr. Chilton.
I quietly walked past him and smiled when he did not stop me to talk to him. Don't get me wrong, I do not really like my boss but I do not hate him yet. I just do not feel like talking to him at this moment. I finally arrived at the kitchen and got a silver cart that I could place the meals on.
I pushed the cart to the room where Barney is, after thanking the kitchen staff. I did not pass Dr. Chilton this time as I headed down the hallway. When I arrived at the room, Barney smiled and asked if I wanted any help. I saw that he had some papers to read over and I shook my head. "No thank you Barney, I'll be fine on my own. Anyways I would not want you to stop working on that paperwork there," I said with a small smile as the door was being opened that led down the hallway.
Barney smiled and got back to work on his paperwork. I pushed the cart into the hallway and picked up the first tray of food. I placed the tray of food through the slot in the cell door in the first cell. The man gave me a nod and I gave one to him in return. I gave the next man his tray of food and he smiled at me. "Are the mash potatoes good today?" he asked me. I gave a small smile and said, "Well I have not tried them, but they do smell good so I'm sure that they taste good today." The man smiled and he started eating.
Miggs was making some strange panting noises as I stepped in front of his cell. I gave a small disgusted look as I saw him pleasuring himself. I quickly placed his tray of food into his cell's slot, and then I moved away from Miggs's cell and over to Dr. Lecter's cell. Dr. Lecter gave me a small glance as I opened the drawer and placed the tray of food in it. "Hello Kelsey," he said in a voice that I've never heard anyone use before. It made small chills run down my spine as I gazed at him. "Hello again Dr. Lecter," I said with a small nod. I closed the drawer and Dr. Lecter walked over and took out the tray of food.
Dr. Lecter placed the tray of food onto his little table and he was about to say something to me, when footsteps were heard walking towards us. I looked and saw Dr. Chilton walking towards me. Dr. Lecter scowled at Dr. Chilton, and he sat down at his table and became very silent. "So has he talked to you yet Kelsey?" Dr. Chilton asked. I looked at Dr. Chilton a little confused. However I asked, "Sir what is the significance if Dr. Lecter and I have talked or not?" Dr. Chilton gave a rude scoff and said, "Because this guy barely talks to anyone in here."
I looked at Dr. Lecter and I said, "Well Dr. Chilton I think it is rude of you to call Dr. Lecter just by this guy." Dr. Chilton rolled his eyes and glared at Dr. Lecter. Dr. Lecter gave me a curious look as Dr. Chilton stormed off. Once Dr. Chilton was gone, Dr. Lecter stood up and came close to the glass. "You definitely are an interesting woman. First I'm challenging you, yet you keep your cool and even reprimand Dr. Chilton," Dr. Lecter said as I looked at him. "I just do not like how he was rude to you, when there is no need for rudeness," I said.
Dr. Lecter gave me a small smirk before sitting at his table. "Well I must be going back now, but I will be back soon to retrieve the tray," I said as I grabbed the handle of the cart. "See you then Kelsey," Dr. Lecter said. I nodded and quickly walked past the cells. Miggs had yelled a few more perverted comments at me, but I just ignored them. Barney smiled at me when I came back into the room. "How did it go?" he asked and I gave a shrug. "It went fine," I said as the door shut behind me.
"Well would you want me to walk back to the kitchen with you since I'm done with my paperwork?" Barney asked me and I gave a small shrug. "If you want to then you can," I said. He smiled and the two of us walked back to the kitchen and I pushed the cart.
