Kane was not expecting special treatment when he admited to his murders, or when he requested help but he was sure that someone would have decided to go a little lighter on him. His once nicely trimmed hair was long and knotted, he knew that if his mother was alive she would call it a rat's nest, but she was not around. That slut had died when the funeral home went up in flames he was fifteen at the time so being sent to the orphanage was not something that would worry him.

His arms were pinned behind his back thanks to the over tight straight jacket,. his ears picked up the faitest sound of someone slotting a key into the padlock of his cell. His heart began to hammer as he placed the sole of his feet against the floor and began to shuffle back away from the sound, his shoulders started to rise up as he began to cower - though he had a mean personality he did fear people especialy the guards of this twisted hell hole. He knew that the guard who would walk in, would be a large over wieght man who went by the name percy Jones, his accent was deep and predicted a large guard walked in with a club in his hand which he would beat Kane whenever was given the chance. But it was not the guard that had caught his attention it was the young woman who walked in behind him, she had long black hair and piercing icy blue eyes - he had never seen a woman with such expressive eyes before, they all had tired worn sickly eyes at least of all the whores he had killed. He tilted his head which caused the unamed woman's lips to twitch as she tried to hold back a giggle.

Is she laughing at me?

Kane thought as he grinded his teeth letting out a low growl as he moved himself, towards the woman but Percy soon put a stop to that. He moved himself towards Ryan with a look of disgust in his eyes. Kane quickly moved himself backwards and whimpered when he, walked towards him holding the club in his hand high, Kane knew that he would be whacked so he tenced his body up in a pathetic attempt to try and reduce the amount of pain that would come from the blow.

"Don't!"

Kane had to twitch his own mouth to see if it was him who had spoken, but the voice that he heard was not covered by laughter it was more light and yet stern - It was the female. Both men turned their heads to look at the female, who stood with a glare on her pale face that was aimed at The fat man not Kane, Kane wanted to laugh he wanted to wriggle and stick his tongue out when he realised that Percy was being scowled but he bravely thought against it.

The female walked up towards Percy but instead of stopping to shout at him she walked, round and crouched down next to Kane, her hand stretched out towards his shoulder that was shaking from the force of keeping the laughter trapped inside of him.

What is she doing?

He let out a few hisses and growls in her direction, wanting her to get away from him, his lips were twitching showing off his teeth that had tasted flesh from a tight women's neck many times before. However the new female did not react like so many others, she did pull her hand away from his shoulder but instead of hiding behind the guard, she pointed at his face and starred at him a firm gaze as she narrowed her eyes causing her eyebrows to meet in the middle.

"No Kane."

She did not shout at him like she had shouted at Percy but her voice was firm enough that it caused Kane, to stop snarling and hissing and instead just starred up at her with a look that showed he had listened and would behave. Percy was shocked.

"Well that is certainly new. Usualy the nurses would have run away from him by now."

The female ignored him and instead rested her hand on Kane's shoulder and began to gently pet him like he was nothing more than a kitten, Kane instead of snapping seemed to make small purring like noises as he shifted himself around to get comfortable now realising, that there was no need to cower away and be scared by this female. Turning her head to look up at Percy over her shoulder she looked at him up and down, before she spoke.

"Seeing as he my patient, I would like if you let us get to know one another, which means you have to wait outside until our time is up."

Percy looked like he wanted to protest but did as he was told, while glaring one last time at Kane before he slammed the door like he was nothing more than a child, who was being sent to their room for using a bad word. The female rolled her eyes as she looked towards Kane, a smile came over her lips as she removed her hand from his shoulder and seated herself a good foot away from Kane - she sat on the floor as there was no chairs in his room only his bed and she did not want to sit on something that belonged to him, unless he gave her his permision.

"Well now that unpleasentness is behind us, let me introduce myself."

She's funny...

"My name is Dr. Kahlan Ambrose , you can call me Kahlan but only in our sessions."

Kane was watching the female she seemed different from the others, who had walked into this Aslyum mainly because she was treating him like a real person, and because she was not afraid of him. Looking down at her legs that were crossed, so he decided to copy her, it was easy for him to cross his legs as many times he would have to sit like this as this way he wouldn't lean against his hands that were forced to rest against his back.

"My name is Kane Calloway."

His voice was very gruff due to the amount of times that as punishment he would be strangled, he had the bruises to prove it but his hair and the straight jacket would cover this up. If Kahlan had heard what the living nurses said about Kane she would have been taken back, to hear him speak to her, but instead she just smiled sweetly at him. Slipping her hand into her pocket which was connected to her jacket that was wrapped around her frame to hide away, her black dress she pulled out a note pad along with a small pen, instead of writting down words that he would try to read she seemed to be drawing which caught Kane's attention straight away that he forced himself to sit with a straight back even though it hurt.

"What are you doing?"

He spoke in confusion as he moved himself closer. Kahlan smiled as she lifted the pad up placing it against her shoulder, so that he would not be able to see what she was doing. Kane let out a low growl as he moved himself towards her again, but was stopped by the look that she gave him, and the fact that she scold him for the second time that day.

"Kane."

Her firm voice quickly set his growls to rest. He pushed himself away from her as he bowed his head down, his lips moved into the form of a pout as he began to let out low growls that weren't as mencing nor dangerous as the last. She allowed herself to smile again as she pulled the note book away from her shoulder, and went back to drawing her eyes would sometimes look up towards Kane before she pulled, them away and focused on her drawing.

Why won't she let me see what she is drawing? Its not fair damn it!

He thought to himself bitterly as he moved from sitting cross legged to having his knees pressed against his arms that were stretched around his hips, his face was becoming darker as he glared daggers at Kahlan watching her with hatred, he wanted to rip the note book out from her hand and see what she was drawing, he even wanted to rip out her viens and wear them like a necklace, but everytime he looked at her blue eyes he knew that he would not be able to do this, and this made him even more angry but he kept it to himself.
