THE FIRST DAY
He didn't know how many times he lived this day. It was a terrible fucking day. Out of all the days here, it had to be the one he was most beaten up on. Not only that, but it seemed that everyone around him was completely unaware of this. No one else noticed the day was relived over and over.
"Wake up sleeping beauty." That didn't surprise him. The bucket of water thrown at him wasn't a surprise either. "Get your ass up, It's time to move in to the loony bin." The guard laughed at his own joke.
"Come on pretty boy." Another guard said, and the first guard opened the door to cuff him up.
Before he would have spit at them, and curse them, telling them they have the wrong guy, but that taught him two things: The first was, they won't believe him. And the second, was that they didn't care what he said, so he'll get punched and kicked anyway.
He just zombie through it all, even in the long car ride to the asylum. He didn't know why he here being forced to live through his past that he once chose not to remember. Now he's being forced to remember how it all started.
"You're a coward you know. You killed those women. Choose the weakest gender, so you won't be overpowered. Then once you were caught, you denied everything. What's the matter huh? Rather blame some imaginary green men than yourself?"
The guard who was supervising Kit was sitting in front of him, they were still miles away, and he knew that. He took too many times at this day, to know enough when the ride was over. He also knew that the guard would say that.
He ignored him.
"I was going to have your mother skinned next, but her skin was like leather. I hate leather!" That was one time he tried to actually act like a psycho. Earned him plenty of hits in the face and kicks in the stomach.
This time, he didn't feel like feeling pain. So he kept quiet.
He looked away, and wished there was a window he could look at.
"Looks like we're here." The guard said, once the truck was slowing down."
The sun always surprised him. It was dark in the truck and an hour without light made him weak to the sun. Two of the guards held him on each side, and he everyone around him. He was almost dragged to the top of the stairs, and everyone's eyes were on him. This isn't how he wanted this life to be.
All he did was love someone who wasn't accepted to society. How can she not be accepted, when she was human too?
The enemies should be the ones hiding up in space. They were probably the ones who did this. They had the power to do anything. Why couldn't they not bring him back to his nightmare? Is this why they needed him? To help get this nightmare straighten out? If so, why has he lived the first day so many times? He lost count how many times, but every time he tried something different, he was placed back to square one.
One time he actually smiled when they were taking his picture. He couldn't help it. If they had decided to make him go through all of this again, why not make it into a joke. He didn't know what happened after that, whether he was known as a psycho or he made picture of the year.
He saw Lana winters. His old friend. Unfortunately, that's not what she thinks of him today. He was a monster to her. The other faces were a blur again. He didn't care for them. All they think and forever will think of him is a serial killer.
When he was finally on the top of the stairs, he glanced at the blonde younger nun. She was the devil. At least that's what Lana described her. But he didn't see that when he first meet her. Which was here. In these steps. But her face, here reaction was so different this time. Before she just looked away, and now, he was sure she was the one who was out of place. He stopped to make sure.
He used all his strength to keep the guards from dragging him inside the asylum. He was trying to make sure he was right this time. She was different. Same expression. He and she were tired.
Her face changed to curiosity, and this made him change to curiosity as well. "She knows too!"
AHSAHSAHSAHSAHSLOVER
His body was numb after the check-in procedure. The next thing he knows, he's trapped in his new bed, trying so hard to get out of it, even though, he knew it wouldn't budge. The ceiling was the only thing he could look at right now, but he wasn't just looking at it, he was looking beyond it. Thinking. What he went through wasn't fair. Jude will be here any minute…
Jude. Sister Jude. Little Jude, Sister Mary Eunice. Of course he forgot about the young nun. He hadn't much thought about her since their little scene. She didn't have that twisted face, as if she was ready to cause chaos. She looked innocent.
"She acted like an innocent harmless moron all this time and Jude didn't see it coming. That's how she did it. She was planning to take over this whole time."Lana said, this whole time she was talking to kit, but kept her eye on Sister Mary Eunice.
"Are you sure? Why would she want to do that?" Kit asked.
"To get power." She simply said,
If that was the case, she was a damn good actress, having to be in-character for two years. But why is she stuck too? If he was actually right about her expression.
He was so into his thoughts, he didn't even notice Jude's entrance.
It didn't matter anyway. He heard this lecture over and over. This can't keep happening.
He was finally taken to the common room. Well he didn't know if he actually was happy about that, considering what is about to happen. He looked around, and everything was the same.
Shelly. What the hell ever happen to her? He didn't know. She probably did go to France, or was in hiding this whole time after she escaped…or will escape.
"OH Sister Jude is on the warpath!" This is defiantly getting old. He swiped her hand away from him.
He heard doors open. And that was different. He lost interest of Shelly, and found his eyes locked with Eunice. And she with his.
He almost ran to her, confusing Shelly, "You can't have her you know, she's a nun. I'll be worth your while," She laughed. When he didn't look back, Shelly moved on from one man, to another.
"You don't belong here. You weren't supposed to be here."
"I know. I was hoping I was right."
"Right about what?" Mary shrugged. She might be wrong. He could think she's crazy. "This whole day is repeating for you too isn't it?" He said.
Mary was shocked. She wanted to cry. She wasn't alone anymore. And he felt the same, because he had the same reaction. They both had forgotten where they were, so when they cried and let out some laughter both hugging, everyone was all confused and some of the patients were scared.
"I don't understand…why us?" Kit finally said. Some of the nuns were staring at Mary. What was she doing being friendly with Bloody face?
"I-I don't know."
"well, maybe this was it?! Maybe that's why we're stuck. Maybe we needed to know each other. You know to work together?" Kit said, excitedly. Mary figured his day was much worse than hers.
"Work together for what?"
"Isn't it obvious that we're here to make things right? I mean maybe the aliens are giving us a second chance. And we both need to work together."
"Aliens? No it's God. And he's doing this to punish us for our sins. We're going to be stuck here till we learn our lessons."
"What did we do to deserve all this? After all this, actually, before…the time…eh. This is hard to explain. The first time we lived through all this, without it repeating I mean, after I got out of this place, there was a rumor that you were probably possessed by the devil. Judy…I mean, sister Jude had said that a couple of times, when she got out as well. She had a nightmare, said she was determined to save little sister Mary from the devil." He looked away. "If aliens exist, why can't the devil right?"
"Yes there is. I felt him in my own body, owning it, and making me do things I don't want to do." She wanted to cry. Letting go was something she had to do so she can move on with god. But she's here again, reliving it.
Kit knew how she felt, so he didn't say anything. By now, they were sitting on the couch, listening to Dominique play over and over. The record player was their day, something that plays and finishes, then plays all over again. They were living as Dominique.
"At first I thought I was going crazy,"
"Everyone else is, Sister. Why not us?"
Mary sighed, "I hope we're not…no, that's not true, I really do wish we are, that way there's a chance we'll get out of this crazy town, and never look back."
"Then this would just be a dream." He nodded agreeing, "Nice."
"I've decided a long time ago, that this is a dream."
"Yeah, me too."
"I'm sorry if I sound selfish, but I'm glad I'm not alone."
Kit chuckled, "You don't, because I was thinking the same thing."
Mary smiled, Kit stood up, realizing this place wouldn't be the right place to talk about this, Mary would be a patient too if anyone heard their conversation. He doesn't need that, they need one on each side of the game to get out of here. Unfortunately, he tripped and nearly fell on top of her, the unfortunate part was that Jude chose at that moment come in, and witness, only she only witnessed him on top of her, and in her eyes, she saw him 'attacking' the poor Sister.
Before they could react to what was happening, it was too late for them to try to explain what really happened. The guards took Kit away, and Mary Eunice could hear Kit's cries. Sister Jude took Mary's arm, snatching her away from the scene, to Jude's office.
Without a word, Sister Jude opened the door, threw Mary Eunice in and locked the door behind her.
"I'm protecting you, stay in there until I come back,"
"Sister, no! He didn't do anything to me, you have to let him go," Banging on the door, crying trying so hard to tell Jude the truth, but it was too late, she was gone. "He's not bloody face." She whispered.
AHSAHSAHSAHSAHSLOVER
He didn't bother explaining anything to the guards, or Jude. This day will be nothing by the time it ends.
Plus, he was used to this cold empty room, although the straight jacket, he will never get used to.
"Shit, I didn't meet Grace this time." But that didn't stop from being visited, only it wasn't Grace, it was Mary.
"Sister,"
"Kit, I'm sorry I got you in trouble, I tried to tell Sister Jude, but she wouldn't listen to me. When I did, she told me I was too nice to give monsters a second chance."
Kit nodded, "That sounds like her alright. But it wasn't your fault, it was mine." He wasn't going through her, when she kept on crying, she was like a child who did something wrong and knew it. She was shaking violently, "Hey, it's ok, Sister, don't worry, I get beat up anyway, it just changed the reason as to why I'm here. Ok?"
Mary took her sleeve, and used it to wipe her tears away, a small gasp escaped, and it reminded Kit of his kids crying. So innocent and fragile.
"Ok," She tried to say, "I would say, see you later, but I know how this day goes, I wasn't even supposed to be here. I'll be busy after this, I need to clean up in the common room, I'll miss Jude if I don't go. I don't want to know what happens if I do,"
"Learned it the hard way?"
Mary nodded.
"Hey, maybe tomorrow will be a new day? Maybe we are meant to know each other today, and we can finally move on?" She tried to cheer her up, "You never know," Even he wouldn't believe it.
"I'll see you tomorrow," She said, "Whether it's today or a new day,"
"Halleluiah," he shouted, as she was walking away. Mary laughed through her new tears.
Luckily, she hadn't missed Sister Jude, this time, before Jude could charge out of the room to Arden's office, she stopped, and asked Mary if she was alright, Mary decided not to argue, so she just nodded.
"Sister, I heard about what happened today, do you want to talk about it? Are you feeling alright?"
Mary was in the same room with Arden, everything was the same, except he was more concerned, and she decided to sit down, and play with her ring she had on her left hand. Dr. Arden was standing right next to her, with his elbow placed on the table, leaning on it, so he could get a closer look at her, as she was trying so hard not to look at him.
"I'll be fine. I told Sister Jude nothing happened. Nothing did,"
Like Jude, Dr. Arden didn't think it was true, she was too pure to think of anyone doing anything bad, and decided to have an explanation for their actions. At least that's what he thought she was doing.
Fortunately, he just nodded, decided to let it go.
"I'll be feeding the creatures today. They are getting hungrier. I could hear them."
"Hm, I'll prepare the meat then. You need to stay away from Mr. Walker. Promise me you will?"
Mary Eunice nodded. He won't remember this promise. In fact, this promise won't exist after this day.
AHSAHSAHSAHSAHSLOVER
Kit sat in the corner of his little cold room, thinking. What does this all mean? There were different possibilities, now that Sister Mary Eunice was in the picture. As any person would, he tried to find the similarities and differences between them. They were both blamed for things they didn't do. He was blamed for the murders, and she was blamed for what the devil made her do, she had no control. He did believe her. He can see the differences between the two Marys.
They are both innocent.
Then there was their deaths, he heard she had fallen down three stories down, from… he couldn't remember where. But he did remember she died.
So this started after they both died.
If it were the aliens, why Mary? Was she important too? Did they feel like helping another innocent as well?
Or was Mary right? Did God give them both a second chance? But he never prayed.
His questions became unanswered. Especially since Dr. Arden chose to take him out of the room, and examine him.
"shit."
It was his first thought. He woke up strapped into what seemed a bed. It could have been one, because in this place, there was nothing but beds with straps on them.
"Hello Mr. Walker. I heard about your little scene with our young Sister Mary Eunice. Now what kind of monster would hurt such an innocent woman?" He tapped on Kit's head, "What's in there that makes you such a monster."
"Double shit." He had forgotten how close this older man was to Mary. He would do anything for her. Everyone one knew it. He was in so much trouble now, since he thinks he'd hurt her.
"I didn't harm her. I fell on her."
"Did a green man from outer space push you?" Arden chuckled.
"Why would you care? You like her?" He knows Arden now, he knows his weaknesses. If he wanted to get information out of anybody, Arden will be one of them, and he'll need Mary for this. Whatever will happen, he can use people, blackmail. If he knew things, so did Mary. Together they will need to get as much people and use them to survive. They need to use as much of what they learned from their first experience.
Arden ignored him though. He has to try again.
"She's really nice. I can see why you fell for her." He decided to play bloody face again. "Her skin is silky smooth. You want her as much as I do?" He wants to know how far Arden will go in order to protect the one he loves.
Arden was speechless, that didn't stop him from punching the heck out of Kit's face though, "You better stay away from her,"
Kit laughed making him look more crazy. He had spit blood on Arden, which earned him a slap on his face. "You'd love to fuck her don't you?"
The last punch knocked him out. Fortunately, when he woke up, Arden wasn't there. His arms were cuffed. Bars was all that he saw when he opened his eyes.
"Wake up sleeping beauty. Get your ass up, it's time to move in to the loony bin." The guard laughed.
Here we go again. But this time, he knew what Arden was now. He was in love with Mary. He saw it. He would do the same if someone were to threaten the one he loved. He can see love from far away, and he's going to use it. This will be used. It can be used.
So sorry I took so long, I had finales, and night school, I was so far behind my online classes, it took all my free time to finish everything. I finished early though. I hope you didn't lose interest in this story. I have so many ideas for this one. And the other story, I'll get started on the other one soon too.
