By count this is my 3rd fic. Hey, great. And this is a Squee fic. I REALLY
wanted to do one. So...flame if you think it's a good idea.
Oo_oO you know, no one cares.
Shut your hole.
************************************************************** *******************************
Todd sat up in a cold sweat. He backed up against the padded wall to keep his small frame from falling over-the straight jacket he was in kept him from sitting up and staying up.
He hadn't needed one until one of the other children decided it would be funny to start a fight with him. But when Todd hadn't returned the punches Peaches, as everyone in the ward called him, decided it was time to get dirty. Peaches jumped Todd when the boy wasn't looking and pinned him to the ground. Peaches then commenced to nearly breaking the poor child's skull. The doctors came in and sedated them, but they couldn't decide who was responsible. So they strapped them both up. Peaches had it in for Todd ever since and Todd just wanted to sit in his room and stare up at the ceiling. He also wished feeling would come back to his arms.
"Shmee," He whispered to his best friend of late. "We get out of the jackets next week and then Peaches is gonna kill me..."
~I'm well aware, Squee.~ Shmee replied. ~How do you plan to remedy the situation?~
"How should I know?" Todd squee'd. "He's gonna break my head and my tibula!"
~Do tibulas even exist?~
"I don't know and that's the problem!!! SQUEEEEE!!!" Todd yelped. A loud bang on his door silenced the boy momentarily.
"Keep it down in there, ya..." The gruff voice trailed off as the rustling of papers was heard outside his door.
"Kid?" Todd finished for the man.
"Yeah, kid!" The man snorted and continued down the hall. Todd shook his head.
~Aw Squee, try to sleep.~ Shmee offered. ~Then tomorrow we can figure out what to do.~
"How do I sleep when I'm gonna die??" Todd queried. He sighed again. At least sleep would bring on horrors other than these.
^Todd looked down into the dark well and sighed. He knew he shouldn't go down there. But he had to. Shmee was down there. He sat in the small bucket and slowly lowered himself. Halfway down he heard a snap and he plummeted down into the darkness, screaming the whole way.
The bucket crashed at the bottom and Todd stepped away, shaking a bit. He nearly tripped on a small cylindrical item. Picking it up, he realized it was a flashlight. He switched it on and walked down a hall, occasionally bouncing the beam on the walls. Todd stopped as the well hall came to an end. He turned around again, searching the walls for another passage. He found a small hole and crawled into it, leaving his flashlight behind. The hole seemed moist and smelly, like rotten eggs. (A/N: Don't say a WORD! Methane is NOT the smell I meant. Neither is THAT.) He kept crawling, feeling around for anything that wasn't moist, squishy, and smelly. He touched the wall and poked his hand on a horn, or was it a bone? He suddenly realized he was inside a worm creature and tried frantically to get out-^
"WORM!" He screamed as he scrambled awake. He soon realized there was no worm eating him. He looked out his barred window. The sun was shining, sending light streaks past the bars to make the window pattern on the padded floor.
"SQUEE!" A loud male voice bellowed outside. "Get up!" The door opened, revealing a squat doctor with "Dr. Oneguy" on his nametag. "We're unstrapping you and Peaches early! Come on!" He grabbed Todd and undid the straightjacket. Todd flexed his arms as Dr. Oneguy shut his room's door. He walked him down to the "playroom". Todd was let inside and the door shut behind him.
All activity froze in the room. The children turned and stared at the big eyed boy that entered. Todd's eyes swam about the room, looking for Peaches. He didn't find him, but his eyes fell on a face he hadn't seen before. It was the face of a girl he had never seen before. She was standing in the corner. She seemed extremely tall, although that may have been the boots she wore. The girl was dressed in black and white and looked very foreboding. Todd noticed she seemed very striped; her arms and legs were covered in black and white stripes, save her fingers. The girl noticed he was staring and stared back, her eyes seeming dead.
He then became painfully aware that two dumb eyes were glaring at him from across the room. Peaches was sitting in the opposite corner of the girl, glaring at Todd and grinning like an idiot. The bulky boy stood up, not even coming close to matching the height of the girl.
"Hey, Squee dude." He growled in a low, raspy voice. He drooled slightly as his jaw slacked. "I believe I need to finish somethin' with you."
Todd gulped. Peaches lumbered over to him, still grinning. He raised a large fat fist, preparing to strike Todd down. Suddenly, a crack was heard, and Peaches went down fast and hit the floor with a loud thump. Every child turned and stared at the tall girl, who had moved to seemingly protect Todd. She gazed at the group with the same dead eyes, and walked back to her corner. Todd decided he'd meet this new girl; she was, after all, practically his savior. As the children began to go back to "playing", Todd approached the girl.
"Wh-what did you do to Peaches?" Todd asked. The girl looked down at him and sighed. She then pushed him back slightly and swung her fist in front of her so fast the stripes became a gray-ish blur. He flinched, and the girl smiled slightly. It seemed to embarrass her; she turned and put her hand up to her face. Todd frowned and backed away, shaking a bit.
He turned back and walked over to a small set of blocks, sitting down next to a small Asian child with a tic in her arm. Every so often she'd lash out with her arm; then sink back down, chittering mindlessly to herself. He stacked up the blocks until the girl's arm lashed out and knocked down the tower. She chittered to Todd; he supposed it was an apology.
Two doctors came into the room and began murmuring amongst each other. Todd moved closer to hear what the doctors were saying.
"...psychosis. She also shows signs of advanced schizophrenia." The male doctor read from a folder.
"But the child doesn't show it. How can you be so sure?" The female doctor countered.
"Brain scan." The doctor pointed to his temples. The female doctor snorted and waved for him to continue. "The girl should not have been placed in here. She is far too dangerous. She could kill anyone in here with a swift kick." The female scowled at the male doctor. The two doctors looked up from the folder, not noticing Todd, and glanced across the room to where the striped girl originally was. She was no longer in the corner. In fact, she seemed to be nowhere in the room. And no one in the room was in any shape to tell them where she was. The doctors searched the area frantically, trying to find the striped girl. Todd frowned.
How could she just disappear? She's way too tall. He suddenly became aware of a pair of eyes gazing at him. He turned, quivering violently, and saw the dead eyes of the striped girl. She was kneeling right next to him, staring right at his huge eyes.
"Squee," He said quietly. As fast as she appeared, the girl was gone again, hiding somewhere in the room. The doctors got up from across the room and hurried to the door. As they shut it, he heard a click. Sirens started blaring outside; he saw the lights but barely heard the sirens.
Then a metallic voice blared in the room once: "Danger...Danger...Escaped mental patient...VERY DANGEROUS...All personnel commence lock-down and building search..."The alarm shut out of the room and out into the hall. Todd sat staring at the door, confused and a bit terrified. All the children began hooting and howling and leaping around. Todd backed into the corner where the girl was. Instantly she appeared in front of him. She was frowning, Todd suspected she was thoroughly ticked about the fact he was in her corner. The striped girl moved closer to Todd until her face was an inch away from his. (No, I didn't mean any correlation between my Johnny fic and this one. Accident.)
Todd squee'd. He was sure the girl would rip his face off. Instead she smiled; a broader smile than before. She opened her teeth slightly, seemingly trying to make an effort speak. Todd straightened up against the corner and stared back. The girl clicked her teeth, thinking. She cocked her head to the side and finally spoke in a hoarse whisper, "Hi Squee, I'm Ince."

That was fun. I'm sorry for the slight lack of dialogue; I just don't write it that well. But I put it where it needs to be.
Oo_oO No one cares.
You're running out of intelligent comments. Anyway, just reviewy this and we'll see about another chapter.
