Dear Diary,
It is storming today, but it feels as if it's not only on the outside.
My mind is haunted by voices that either protect me or wish I died.
And although the doctors tell me it's nothing more than a mental puppet-show,
I truly believe they are the ghost of fallen soldiers. Real people, that knew love and regret.
The doctors called it DID : Dissociative identity disorder.
They just don't believe the people inside me are real.
So they took me away from the orphanage, and send me to an asylum.
I guess Diary, I can call this the day of my arrival.
I promise I will write you often as I can and am allowed.
Bella closed her diary, looking over the papers she had written for the doctor she would be guided with.
Lovino: A young male with a sharp tongue. Isn't as supportive as the rest. Often gets in trouble with my protector Ludwig. Yet they both seem to share a close bond. Lovi(no) told me he knew Ludwig when they both were alive. Since Ludwig was married to his brother. Often tells me I'm weak and a crybaby, but in a way he is right. I should be stronger now that I am an adult. I guess in some way he is like a stubborn brother, sadly harms my body when he can't cope with a female body. Died on an unknown way.
Francis: An old man. Around end thirties begin forties. Very sensual, yet doesn't flirt. Says he doesn't want to shame his pure love. Refused to tell me who his lover was, but he often talks about a woman named Jeanne. Has a fatherly personality, regrets leaving his two boys behind. Died due to a car accident. Has a large interest in flowers and cooking. Also fashion. Very respectful towards women. A romantic at heart.
Ludwig: An older man, mid thirties. Very quiet but strong and reliable. Very closed off. Knew both Lovino and Francis. Didn't have a great relationship with Francis when he was alive, but now they do. He is the only one that swears often. Has a heavy German accent when he speaks English, and died during the third world war. His lover was with him when he died since they both were in combat. He always tells me that I should not ask any questions about his lover. It very much pains him that he broke his promise after all those years.
She gets startled when she hears a knock on her door. She opens it to be greeted by two males in uniform. She looks at the clock. "I'm sorry I didn't notice the time, do I need to give the papers to you." She sweetly asked. One of the men shook his head and explained to her that she would give it to the person in charge of her. She nodded. Then he explained they would have to cuff her, since they made it a standard procedure since they had to deal with heavy mental ill patients. She told them it was no problem, Francis however wasn't that amused that they treated a lady like this but didn't step forward.
They guided her to the car and then they drove her to the asylum, the buildings came into view a while later.
"Mon dieu, these buildings look terrible. Couldn't they bring her somewhere decent?" The Frenchman named Francis said in displease. "Shut up you bloody Frenchman!" Lovino screamed annoyed. "Guys...please." Bella asked her friends as they took control over her body, eying the driver who spoke to her.
"You alright Bella?" He asked her with a soft voice, perhaps afraid that she would turn aggressive if they wouldn't. "Sorry...the voices aren't as happy as I am…" She apologized, knowing how mental ill that sounded. He just nodded, understanding and perhaps relieved that they didn't had to deal with much more then some voices.
"Merde, this is not a place for such a fair maiden as yourself." Francis said while staring down.
"Francis could you refrain from staring at my breasts…" Bella said on a gentle tone, although a hint of discomfort was noticeable. Ludwig decided he would take over to slap Bella's head. "Behave Francis." Ludwig warned.
"Bella, I will have to ask you to ask them to stop, because I'll have to use medicine if you keep hurting yourself." The other male that went kindly warned her and she nodded with a soft: "Sorry."
The men guided her out of the car, helping her since bound hands and feet were simply not easy to move in. As the door was opened for her she was greeted by a blond male. "Greetings, you must be Bella Maes?" He asked her with a smile. "Enfer sanglant, I mean...uh...T-thanks A...Mister?"
"Kirkland, doctor Kirkland but you can call me Arthur. I wasn't aware you knew French, Bella." Arthur said with a smile nodding at the men to untie her. "Thank you Arthur, but that wasn't me. It was Francis." She gave the papers towards her doctor, noticing the pained face he pulled when he read the names of her personalities. "This can become problematic...I'll need Antonio to place you in a different room." Arthur sighed, trying to not show any form of hurt. Bella tilted her head in confusion. "Why is that?"
"Your roommate has a problem with two of those names, one of them works as a severe trigger. He can turn violent when you say them." Arthur explained. "Well can we at least try?" Bella asked careful. Which Arthur quickly agreed on. "You have a red button, for when he gets problematic. I'm leaving Antonio to supervise you." She followed through many rooms. She wondered who she would find there. And felt alarmed with Francis his sudden behavior. Even Lovino seemed shaken when the name Antonio was mentioned.
"Bella, this is your roommate Feliciano.." Arthur said while greeting a small brunette. "Feliciano…." Ludwig said with a pained voice, the boy was even skinnier since the war. "Veeee~ How do you know my name? Oh wait, silly me. Doctor Kirkland told you." The Italian said with a warm smile. " Don't call my…." Francis stopped himself but Lovino stepped forward.
" Br- Feliciano what brings you here?" Lovino said, voice raised. Why was his brother here...here of all places?!
The reason would be made quickly by Feliciano.
"Brother left me first, then Ludwig died...then I became a little...mad. I got stuck here for not only killing the enemy, but allies as well." The brunette said with a smile, yet his eyes had lost his gleam causing Bella to shiver in fear. "Ludwig lied to me, he would come back. Always come back." He started to hit his head against the wall, blood appearing after four hits. It was the only way to hurt himself, after all he was tied with arms and legs. As a safety measure they even put a glass cage around him.
"Feli, calm down. Please...don't scare your new roommate." Arthur said, looking at Bella in wonder if it's too much for her to handle. "Feliciano…" Ludwig said with a broken voice placing his hand on the glass wall. "I'm sorry Feliciano. I-" She felt dizzy, too many people had used her body after all. Her nose start dripping blood, after she fainted. Arthur hit the red button. The door opened, Antonio standing in the entrance. "Yes...oh my god what happened?!"He said as he saw the blood on the female who now laid unconscious on the floor.
