Theresa

Your name is Theresa Pyrope and you are thirteen years old. You used to live in Washington with your mom and older sister Liberty but now you live in Kansas in an asylum- sorry Mental help institute. You aren't sure why you are here. In fact you don't even believe that your name was Theresa, no matter what the doctors say you know your name is in fact Terezi and you are six sweeps old. Not thirteen years old.

You currently live in a ''Mental help Institution'' You live in a room that is shared with another girl named Vicki. You never really spoke to Vicki however once and a while she would say things like. ''My friend told me that you hate spiders.'' or ''Do you wanna talk to them?'' You had heard once that the reason Vicki was here was because she believed that she could actually talk to spiders. And you were here because you are a troll named Terezi with gray skin and candy corn colored horns that look like cones on your head. Apparently you believed this because of a strange dream you had while in a coma. What was that supposed to mean?

You had never bothered to explore the institution you liked to be in your room away from all of the others but today you decided that you wanted to explore a bit. Today just your floor. You pulled out your slip on flats and walked out of your room.

The walls were colored a strange off-white. The floors we're carpeted with strange contrasting colors and designs. Since you thought it would be fun you decided to play a small game with this. You only stepped on the red ovals, you then proceed to close your eyes and try to smell the color and shape. Even though the doctors told you not too because you weren't blind and couldn't taste or smell colors. So what? They didn't know you! You could smell the colors. You could smell the cherry red and tangy orange with some mustard and grape and hints of lime in between. You continued your sniffing adventure at a quick pace listening to doctors and nurses as they walked past you. They all smelled the same after all they were all wearing the strange blue uniforms.

Soon you came to the end of the hallway. You sniffed and felt around for the stairs there were two flights. One going up and the other down. You stood debating your decision before heading to the right staircase. The one leading downstairs. You proceed carefully until you don't ''smell'' a stair in front of you. You continue your journey once more through this unfamiliar hallway. This hallway had the same colored walls and carpet all the doors looked the same. The only difference was the room numbers.

''Theresa! What are you doing walking with your eyes closed you are going to hurt yourself!'' You opened your eyes to be faced with one of the nurses that would care for you. She had her arms crossed. ''Didn't I tell you how dangerous that is?'' Her tone was calm yet stern as if trying to give a peaceful punishment.

''I told you I can smell my way around. I don't need to use my eyes, I know what I'm doing I was blind once.'' You respond smiling, instead of smiling back or even really responding the nurse sighed.

''Theresa how on Earth could you have blind, you were dreaming.'' She explained with complete composure. These people just didn't understand, humans were strange. They slept in strange beds instead of recopracoons. They had strange skin, even though currently you had this color of skin you knew it wouldn't last long. It was probably some kind of makeup that they put on you while you slept. You don't know what they did about your horns. But they were there.

''I looked at the sun, and I became blind, but it's okay because my dragon lusus taught me to see by smelling and tasting things. I don't know why but for some reason I can see again. I don't like it though, I wanna be blind again. And I wasn't dreaming! It was real, this here is all just some kind of weird prank that someone is playing on me. One that has been going on for way too long!'' You continued to explain. No matter how many times you explain the story in excruciating detail they never believe you. They think you're crazy, at first they said you had brain damage. Although you think they meant damage to your think pan. Then after a few tests they just figured that you were confusing your dreams for reality. They don't get it though, this is a dream in reality you're a troll name Terezi Pyrope, you're a teal blood and live in the forest, you hang scalemates and love dragons! Especially since your lusus was a dragon herself! If only they believed you.

''Oh Theresa,'' She sighed again shaking her head.

''Bye now I have to go and adventure some more!'' You continued on not closing your eyes until you were sure that you no longer were in sight of that nurse. You closed your eyes again and headed farther into the hallway.

The hallway was eerily quiet. Most of the time you could hear other kids in the facility. Sometimes it was crying or screaming, but most of the time it was kids playing together, sometimes you saw some of the pink monkey humans running past your room a couple times once in a while Vicky would join them but most of the time they just ran right past without even trying to look at you, but now there we're no kids, no one playing or running you couldn't even hear footsteps besides your own anymore. The hallway stayed rather quiet for a few more moments before another sound entered your ears.

It was stomping not only stomping but huffing. You continued to walk listening for the huffing as it got closer and closer. Soon you ran right into someone.

''ouch.'' You let out as your butt hit the carpet. The sounds coming from the other person were much louder. and gog was it vulgar

''You stupid moron what do you think you're doing!'' It was a males voice. It seemed a little raspy and definitely like a teens voice. A very grumpy teens voice. ''And why are you walking around with your eyes closed are you pretending to be blind? Answer me you scum sucking loser!''

''I'm sorry I didn't smell you there.'' You pulled yourself off your butt and could hear the shuffling of the boy standing as well. ''And I used to be blind, I looked at the sun and went blind, I can't believe I didn't move sorry I'm a little rusty at smelling where people are.''

''Smelling? Sun? What are you some sort of psychopath?''

''No I'm a troll.''

''A what?!''

''A Troll from the planet Alternia!''

''Alterni-what?''

''Alternia!''

''What's that?'' The boy asked.

''A place!''

''You're weird''

''So are you!''

''Who are you anyway?''

''I'm Tere- Theresa. And you?''

''My name is-''
