"Talking"

"In Carley's mind/ Ogre Child talking in Carley's mind"

Enjoy!


Carley didn't know why or how she got in to this. She thought of running. Running away from her new destination the men were taking her. However, because of her size, she didn't, knowing it would be useless; even if she tried. When the carriage made it to the huge academy, the men guided Carley inside and to the front desk. She was muttering to herself, trying to calm herself down from upcoming anxiety, along with talking to her alter-ego; Ogre Child.

"Quiet, you!" The big buff man didn't see what Carley was that made the young adult's anxiety increase.

"So, this is the new patient?" The woman behind the desk asked.

"Yeah. I assume you have the paperwork and her diagnosis?" The man in front of Carley said.

"Yes. I'll get someone to take Miss Carley to her new room."

"Alright. Come on, guys. Let's get something to eat," The man told the other two men.

"Yeah!"

"Tacos!" The three left the front office still cheering for the Mexican food.

Carley continued talking/muttering to Ogre Child in attempt to calm her nerves, not noticing someone approach her that made her jump in surprise when the person in a accent said, "Hey." Carley looked and saw an ogre male whose skin was green with light brown eyes and no hair on his head.. He wore a casual grey shirt with black pants and shoes.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare ya. You're Carley Georgina Palmer, right?" The ogre asked Carley who nodded timidly, "Okay, good. I thought I got the wrong name for the wrong person again." Carley lightly smiled warming up to the bald ogre. "My name's Shrek, and I'll be your doctor/mentor/helper/... uhhh..." Shrek looked at the paper confused saying in slight frustration, "Screw it! Long explanation short, you're going to be assigned to me because of the level of your impairments."

"... Okay," Carley responded.

"Come with me and I'll show you to your new room," Shrek said as Carley followed with her symbol cane in one hand and book bag in the other.

Carley didn't know why, but she felt she could trust the ogre who began speaking. "This is the floor where you'll be doing your daily activities with everyone else here. Their are two other floors above us, but they're for the people who are extremely mentally ill and can't function without someone helping them. This floor is for people who have mild disorders and multiple impairments/disabilities that range from severe, moderate, to mild, along with others I don't feel like talking about right now. Ah, here it is. Room 187."

Shrek opened the door to the room where Carley saw it was medium-sized with an already made bed. Beside it, there is a desk with a chair and a lantern that's in front of a barred window. There was a medium-sized television a couple of feet in front of the bed, a nearby bathroom for the patient to used when the need to used it came, a closet for Carley's clothes, and a pair of fresh clothes, mainly a uniform, folded neatly on the edge of the bed.

"I'm gonna leave you to get settled. If you need any help with anything, give me a call," Shrek said.

"...O-Okay," Carley muttered seeing Shrek leave with the door half open.

Carley then let out a sad sigh and began to unpack her things from her bag.

"I guess this is where we'll be staying, huh?" Ogre Child asked.

"...Yeah..." Carley responded.

"Hey, don't be so down. Maybe you'll meet some nice people here," Ogre Child encouraged Carley who only scoffed.

"Yeah, right. Who would want to be friends with me?"

"Hey, are you new?" The voice asked that made Carley and Ogre Child turn and see a young man with short sandy blonde hair with the same blue eyes as Carley's. The young male wore a white buttoned up short sleeved shirt with black pants and shoes that matched.

"Nice uniform," Ogre Child stated.

"Shhh!" Carley said to the dark blue skinned alter ego. Carley cleared her throat before answering, "Uh.. y-yes."

"Hi, my name is Author Pendragon. Welcome to the Worcestershire Institution."
