Hey!

Sorry for not Authors noting the first page, I sort of forgot.

But I am here now! Thanks for reviewing!

I hope you enjoy the next chapter. This is where it gets good! (in my opinion)

For the remainder of that time I just sat around crying, thinking of the hard hearts of my parents. Who would send a child here? It was just torture!

When it was 2 minutes until the appointment, I decided to leave. As I stepped out, I took a huge breath in. It was such a relief. I still had my key and I locked the door.

I head out in the direction it told me to go. Most of the laboratories were down here, so I saw a few people walk by. Most looked aged around 13 to 19. I was 17, so I fit in pretty well. But these people looked different to the ones that you would find on the street. They looked sad, almost crazed. I didn't want to become like that. It was just horrible.

As I walked into the corridor containing my destination, it smelt like a hospital. I really did wonder what was going to happen. I knocked on the door, hearing an answering reply. "Come in," the voice said. Harsher than Professor Jinks's.

So I obeyed him. I stepped inside and almost chocked. On all of the shelves and desks there were vials each containing different coloured substances. But the thing that had caught my eye the most was the many syringes lying in a box. The set out was simple though, a desk, small chair, and a bed. I walked in slowly, pausing where ever I could.

"Ah, Mary Alice Brandon," said the man, "I am Professor Kingston. I see that this is your first time here, right?" he asked softly.

"Yes, Professor," I said meekly.

"Do you know what we do here?" he asked.

I gulped. "Um….," I said, while looking in the future at what was going to happen. I saw that he was going to inject me with a very clear yet slightly tinted blue liquid. "Yes… I think so," I said.

"Ah, yes. It says here that you have your visions of the future. Care to take a seat?" he asked.

Again I gulped and followed his orders.

"OK, at this place, we try to get rid of all your… mental problems. It should be easy, though, and you get used to the needles after a while," he said, and smiled almost evilly. I shuddered and sat down in the chair next to him.

"Hopefully, after a while, your abilities will start to were off. When they have gone you can go home. The patients always say that the first one hurts the most," I as he said this, he picked up a syringe and filled it with the clear blue liquid, and then injected it into my arm. I screamed. He hadn't done it with care, he just jabbed it in. He pulled it out, but I still screamed.

Probably anyone could have heard my moan. I kept on panting and screaming, but the pain would not go away. Nothing could have ever been worse than this. I was suddenly blacked out. I must have fainted, but the pain was still there. When I had opened my eyes I was on the bed. Kingston must have moved me here. I had been out cold for about 20 minutes. Only 5 more minutes to stay in here.

I looked at my arm, and it was swelling. It still hurt really badly, and I felt weird. The professor was sitting in his chair and viewing my files.

"How are you feeling, Alice?" he asked, smiling.

"Better," I replied, lying. I felt odd. But the future didn't disappear at all. I decided not to tell him that.

"You can go now," he said. With that, I stood up slowly. I didn't fall over, which was very good. I grabbed my things and walked out of the room.

I went to my room to put my stuff back. My arm still hurt, but it was a bit better. I saw more people walk by, each looking as sad as the other. I wonder if I blended in with them now.

Once everything but my schedule was in my room, I decided to go look at the quad. It was 10 o'clock and my next session was in 30 more minutes in room 138. I went out to the quad to sit. I had left my map in my room, but I was familiar with the basics now since I'd read over it so much. My arm still hurt. I saw other people walking around looking sad. Some were talking with each other. At least they had room mates. I needed someone to talk too.

Suddenly, I saw a face pop out from the bushes. It was pale, but I didn't see much of it. Suddenly, it disappeared again. I was being watched by someone. I decided to walk away. As I stood up, I bumped into someone and we both fell over. It was another girl. Her face was pretty, with brown hair in ponytails. She was noticeable younger than me, about 14. It was so sad to see young people in here. Again, she looked as sad as the others.

"Oh, sorry," I said. Standing up slowly and then holding a hand out for her. "I'm still feeling weird after that… needle," I said, and then shuddered. But I should have seen her coming. Maybe the injection did work.

"No, it's OK. I hope you feel better soon. I'm going for a session now. I wonder what will happen." She said.

"Is there more than needles here?" I asked, shocked.

"Oh yeah, it get's much worse than needles," she said, like she had been here for a long time.

I shivered. "I've only had one needle," I said, she smiled.

"It get's better, the first is the worst," she said.

"How long have you been here?" I asked.

"About 6 months," she said. "I need to get out," she smiled.

"I do too. Even though I just got here,"

"Well, I better go right now. I'll see you around. What's your name?" she asked.

"Alice. You?"

"Beth," she replied and then she waved goodbye.

More than needles? How bad could it get!

I had 10 minutes left. I could swear that someone was watching me. I was so freaked out that I had to leave. I walked past Professor Jinks on my way.

"Oh, Alice. It's a surprise to see you. Where are you heading?" he asked, friendly.

"Room 138," I said.

"I see. How was your first… injection?" he asked.

"Very painful," I replied.

"Yes, I think I heard you scream," he said, softly.

"Anyone would," I replied.

"Yes… um… I better go," he said, peering over into the bushes where I had seen the head, "Good luck," he whispered, and then headed off.

I walked to the next room and saw the same kind of set up with a different doctor.

I knocked.

"Come in," a bored voice replied. And so I did.

"Ah, Mary Alice Brandon," he said.

"Just Alice, Please," I said.

"Alright then Just Alice, I'm going to try something new today."

I gulped at the word 'new'.

"It's alright. This one won't hurt at all," he said.

"Good," I said, but wondered what was going to happen.

"OK, follow me then. Leave your things here," he said, and then left the room. I followed him. He walked through the quad and down many more stairs until we were completely underground.

"We're almost there," he reassured me.

I nodded.

We kept walking until he came to a little room with no windows. Nothing. It was black, nothing to light it up at all.

"Alright, stay here until I come back for you," he instructed. I just nodded and walked into the little room.

He walked out and locked the door. I couldn't see anything at all. There was no light in the slightest, so my eyes would never adjust. I lay there doing nothing. I had lost track of all time and it felt like I had spent many hours in here. I began to feel hungry and thirsty. I screamed for help a few times, but nothing came. I tried walking around, but I kept running into walls and screaming more. I found the door and bashed on it, but I had no hope. So I lay on the floor. I cried some more, maybe for a few more hours. Then I slept.

When I awoke, I was still in the dark. Nothing had changed. I screamed more, but now my throat was just sore. I was so hungry and thirsty. He must have forgotten about me and left me here to die. I couldn't see the future, so maybe it was working. Or maybe it was because nothing was going to happen to me.

For what seemed like hours or even days, I had reached hysteria. I was screaming and crying. I wouldn't be surprised if I died here. They probably did this on purpose to kill me any way. But I could hardly think any more. All I did was screaming.

I was forgetting things now. That's what the dark does to people. I was going crazy. I was even having hallucinations. I screamed again. I had forgotten hunger and thirst now. I was gone. Left for the dead.

Suddenly, I awoke to brightness.

Cliff hanger!

I told you it got Exciting!

The next chapter is on it's way!
