The future flashed before her eyes and she was shaken out of her slumber. She sat up and looked around, frightened and alone. Her room was empty except for herself and her bed. The little window on the door didn't show anything but another room across the hallway with the same exact features. She didn't know what to think, her mind thrown into a whirlwind. What was this future she kept seeing? How did she get to it? She would be so much happier if she could find this family that she saw every time she closed her eyes.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She lay down to pretend she was asleep. She knew what happened when they thought she was going to cause trouble. It didn't matter, her door opened and the brawny man walked in. His red eyes were always a part of her nightmares, but she didn't know why. He was different like her, but he wasn't locked up. No, he was her doctor. His straight hair that went to almost his shoulders was always hanging loosely around him. He peered from behind his hair at her, she saw him smile. He closed the door to her room and backed in.

"Mary." He said, the smile growing, "I've missed you. How are you?"

Mary rolled over. He wouldn't hurt her. He was the nice doctor, always looking out for her. He kept talking about some kind of change coming for her. She didn't know what he was talking about. She looked up at him from her cot and smiled. Her brilliant eyes, full of sadness were lightened with a moment of happiness. He always came back for her.

"I'm okay." She whispered back. She didn't know what to do. She felt unloved and crazy. She felt scared and vulnerable. Why was she in this place? Her parents and her sister only distant memories in her far away mind. She sat back up and turned to face him.

"Have they hurt you today?" he asked.

"No. I've been good today. I didn't try to break out. I keep my visions to myself now." Mary replied. She started to loosen up and her shoulder sagged, "Are you here to rescue me?"

"Yes, tonight after my last client I will be back to get you. Remember Mary, don't tell anyone." Her tall master sighed and bent down to look her in the eyes, "I'm going to fix you Mary. You'll be like me and my wife. We'll take great care of you, but you have to help us get you from here."

"What do you want me to do?" Mary asked, reveling in the way the dim light hit his face. His pale skin looked like it would break over his olden shoulders. She was afraid he wouldn't make it.

"I want you to be good. Lie down, dream, and be happy. Tonight is your last night here." With that being said, he stood back up and looked out the window, "The nurses are going to make their rounds in a few minutes. You be a good girl Mary and I'll be back for you." He left the room, quietly has he had come. Mary got up and walked to her window and peered out, he was nowhere in sight. Mary saw her nurses coming with their little cart. She ran, gracefully to her bed and lied back down, facing the brick wall that surrounded her.

For the second time that night, her door opened and the cart came in first, "Mary Alice, I'm here to give you your medicine." A quiet old nurse stated in a motherly tone. She was the nice night nurse, but the buzzing radio hanging from her belt indicated that she didn't take anything and would call back up if she needed it. She took the small cup of pills and a glass of water to her bed and tapped Mary patiently on the shoulder. Mary rolled over and sat up gently, not wanting to scare the old woman. She took the pills and swallowed them, drinking water down with them.

"That's a good girl Mary Alice." She said sweetly taking the trash cups back and walking towards her cart, "Do you want a sticker?" Mary shook her head and walked towards her holding out her hand. The woman took off a big yellow sticker that had two eyes and a smile and placed it in the center of the outstretched hand.

"Thanks." Mary whispered. She turned around and made it back to her bed in time to hear the door click shut and lock as the nurse made it to her next round. Mary sat on her bed, waiting for the horrible pills to kick in and knock her out for the night. She hated taking the huge white pills, but she didn't like the alternative round. She lied back finally drowsy enough to close her eyes and welcome the blackness of unreality to close in.

"Mary! Get up! We have to go!" Mary woke up to the frightened sound of the man's voice. She knew what to do and what was going on, but she didn't understand the sound of his words. She jumped out of bed, her wrap around nigh gown flowing stiffly with the movement of her body. She ran to the man and threw her arms around his neck, "We don't have time. James! He's coming, we have to go."

Mary's confusion could be seen on her face, but he didn't have time to explain. He grabbed her small fragile pixie body and ran from the room. Her eyes flew shut, the pills still working. She fought against unconsciousness and stayed awake. She watched the sky and the man ran through the night with her. Tress passed by in a blur, she felt like she was flying. The man's breathing never changed, he just kept running and she just kept watching, the wind flying through her hair, the sound of rain and cars becoming a distant memory as the stars were replaced by the tops of trees. He ran up the side of a small hill and she saw a small brick cottage aglow with light from inside.

He slowed down and opened the door. Mary looked over his broad shoulder and saw a shadow slinking into the trees. She didn't say anything as they walked inside. The woman inside the room was very beautiful with her long curly red hair and a startled look on her face.

"What's this?" She asked.

"This is Mary. The one I told you about. She see the future, already. Can you imagine how she will be when she is changed?" he told her.

Mary didn't know what change was coming, but anything to be out of the brick room was welcomed with open arms. She stood, a bit tired from the pill. Her shoulders sagged and her eyes squinted, trying to fight the sleep. He led her to a couch in their living room and let her lay down. She fell asleep to the whispers between the man and his wife.

***

The pills finally wearing off, Mary awoke a sofa. She stood up and walked into the other room, remembering the events from the night before. She instantly grabbed her neck, remembering a dim pain from a memory. The room looked wrecked and no one was around. It was light outside, the sun rising in the east. She stepped out into the fresh air, stunned by the smells, sight, and sounds. Her throat burned and she saw a park full of kids down the hill. Her instincts kicked in and she started towards the park.

Stunned by the sight before her eyes, she froze and remembered her past. What happened to the man that was with her? She had to have been by herself for more than one night. She saw her reflection in a passing car window. She touched the face that was reflected and saw rainbows dancing off of the stranger's skin. She turned around and headed back to the home, ignoring the burning that was in her throat.
