Sanity

Chapter 1: Knight?

Reo hugged his knees tightly to his chest burying his head into his arms. He didn't want to see it anymore, all the white and the walls that kept him stuck in this room. The cameras that watched his every move, the old white bed, and the little window with bars. He was tired of seeing it all. He was here because people thought he was crazy. It was all insane he wasn't crazy! Sure he could see things others couldn't, and his dark violet eyes were certainly different then any one else's, but he wasn't crazy. Right? Back the orphanage the kids all called him strange and they had learned to keep their distance. He was always the weird one, the one that always stuck out. That's why he had gotten into reading books 24/7, in books he could be anyone he wanted to be, an adventurer, a super hero, a prince, or even a knight. But now that was all gone as well, in this place there were no books, no where for Reo to go.

Reo sighed closing his eyes, he would be stuck here for the rest of his life he was sure.

"Hey, kid." a soft voice spoke

"Great now I'm hearing voices, I must be crazy." Reo said mainly to himself.

"Moron your not hearing voices. I'm over here!"

Reo looked over to the small window which visitors would speak threw. He saw a pair of bright blue eyes and sandy blonde hair.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" Reo asked as he stood up walking over to the small window.

"My names Elliot Nightray, as to why I'm here right now it's none of your concern."

Reo studied Elliot's face, he certainly was very handsome defiantly a Nightray. His bright blue eyes were beautiful, and his sandy blond hair framed his face and stuck out in a few places, below his right eye there was a beauty mark this man looked like an angel. But why would he want come to visit him?

"What's your name? Isn't it rude not to intrusive yourself?" Elliot's question interrupted Reo's thoughts.

"Oh my names Reo, Reo Baskerville?" Reo answered looking at Elliot threw his long bangs.

"Well Reo," Elliot paused he looked around to see if anyone was around, "Are you allowed out of this cell?"

Reo nodded, "Yes, but only with a safety bracelet in and you'll have to talk to the guard." Reo didn't know why but he liked this man, he trusted him even if they had just met. For all he knew Elliot could be a killer and was going to murder him, or Elliot could even be his knight in shining armor coming to rescue him, or maybe Elliot had just got the wrong guy. Could there be another Reo Baskerville? "Are you sure it's me your looking for?" There was no reply because Elliot had already run off to talk to the guard.

When Elliot had returned the guardsman was behind him, Elliot stepped aside and let the guard open the door to the cell. Reo looked at Elliot as he felt the guard put the bracelet onto his wrist. He was actually going to be out of this cell for the first time in who knows how long. Reo had lost track of days and weeks and months that passed him by.

"Are you coming or are you just going to stand there and gawk at me?" Elliot asked. Reo could tell he was short on patience. Reo simply nodded and he walked past the guard and out if his cell. A smile came to his face as everything was no longer white, his bare feet hit the concrete tile and he began to walk next to Elliot. He looked down at his feet wondering if maybe he should say something. Thank you? Why are you here? He had to say something he opened his mouth to speak but Elliot got to it first, "Wait till we're outside then I'll tell you everything."

Outside?! With grass and sun and the sky! Reo haft been outside in months, even if there was a fence around the small area it was still better then being in that cell. Reo managed a nod and the continued to walk. This man really could be his knight.

As they walked, the door to the small fenced up section was getting closer. Reo couldn't help but want to run there, but he looked down deciding that'd be a bad idea with guards around. Elliots blue eyes traveled over to Reo, he did look kind of crazy, his hair was a mess it covered his eyes and was down to his waist. He was so small and scrawny Elliot felt like just touching him might make the small man crumble into pieces. What was there to him that made Elliot feel like he had to get him out of here? He had to rescue him and get him out of this asylum. A loud beep pulled Elliot from his thoughts as he realised they were already to the door. A guardsman unlocked the door and Elliot stepped threw first Reo stood there for a minute. A smile on his face as he looked around everything was so much brighter and as he took a step onto the soft grass he wanted to instantly start dancing and running around. Reo ran out past Elliot and spun in circles in the middle of the grassy area, a grin on his face as he looked up towards the sky. Oh how he missed it all, the sun, the clouds, grass, trees, and the sky. "You seem happy." Elliot said and Reo stopped spinning he looked at Elliot and smiled. "I am! I haven't been outdoors for months!" The blue eyed man smiled as his eyes watched Reo's every move. "Well then Reo you'll be happy to know I'm breaking you out of here." Reo's eyes widened and he automatically just stopped dancing around he looked at Elliot. "You can't be serious Elliot."

"I am though."

Reo looked down this man really was his knight.
