Chapter 2
I barely slept that night. I stayed up and planned on what to say to that woman. I wanted her to know that I knew her plan and that it wouldn't work. She might as well let me out of here. I stood up from my corner when I heard the door unlock. I sighed when I saw it was only the doctor. He gave me a smile.
"Hey princess." he said and I leaned against the wall. He shoved a tray full of the same brown goop in front of my face. "Eat up."
"I want to talk to her." I told him.
He tilted his head. "Why do you want to do that?"
"I know she kidnapped me. I don't belong here." I said. He put the tray on the ground and leaned in close to my face.
"Are you so sure about that?" he said and reached out to touch my face. I quickly slapped it away. He laughed. "You're still feisty."
"Let me talk to her." I said again, ignoring his comment. "I have a right to."
His smile dropped from his face. "You have no rights here. No one does. That woman, she's the queen here. It's whatever she says goes." I glared at him. "Besides, how do you know you don't belong here?"
"I'm not crazy." I said simply. "And that woman is too cruel to actually run an insane asylum." He laughed. "And I doubt they would hire a pervert like you to take care of the patients. If anything, I think you and her belong in here."
"You know, that mouth of yours is going to get you in trouble one day." he warned at kicked the tray closer to me. "I'll tell her that you wanted to see her." And with that, he left the small room. I looked down at the tray and walked over it. I went to the door and I placed my hand on the handle. I sighed. I hoped one day that my doctor will just forget to lock it. He has to slip up eventually.
"And then I'm free." I whispered to myself. I slowly let my hand fall and slumped against the door. How long have I been trapped? It feels like years...I wonder how the outside world is doing. It's sad...I don't even remember anything. What it looks like or any of the people. Did I even have anyone looking for me? I'm not sure how old I am but I think I'm pretty young. I felt my face and looked at my hands. I have no wrinkles and my hair doesn't have any gray in it. This means my parents can't be too old either. My parents should still be alive. I thought crept into my mind. What if this woman did something to them? What if she hurt them, locked them up like me, or worse...I blinked a few times and forced that sickening thought out of my mind. No. My parents are fine. They're probably still looking for me. They must be worried sick...
I sighed and sat down next to the door. Do I have anyone else in my life? I bit my lip and closed my eyes. No matter how much I concentrated I couldn't remember. Did I have any siblings? Any friends? Any romance? I sighed and opened my eyes. "Why can't I remember?" I asked myself. I looked up at the door. It has to be her. She brainwashed me or something. Well, she won't take everything from me. As long as I remember who I am, I'll be fine.
"I'm Belle." I told myself. "I won't ever forget that." I'll be fine...The lack of sleep must have caught up to me because in a matter of minutes, I was asleep.

I was in a room. It was too dark to see anything. "How did I get here?" I asked myself as I squinted my eyes, straining to see what was in the darkness. I felt my stomach churn. How did I get here? Was I moved here while I was sleeping? "Hello?" I called out uncertainly. I heard a slight sound in front of me. I walked forward. "Is anyone else here? Hello?"
The room got a bit more bright and I got a look at who else was in the room. It was blurry but I could tell it was a man sitting behind a desk. I rubbed my eyes but to no avail. I couldn't see his features at all. "Excuse me?" He didn't even move in the slightest. "You can't hear me..." I said more to myself. I walked closer and the image in front of me still was a blur. He stood up suddenly and I could tell he had a limp with the way he was wobbling and using a cane. I tilted my head. Nothing about this man was familiar at all. I bit my lip and started to reach out. Before I could even touch him, the room became pitch black again and I felt myself falling.
I jumped up from my dream with a gasp. I stood up from the spot I fell asleep on. "What was with that dream?" I whispered. "Who was that guy?"
An idea crept its way into my mind. Maybe...maybe I know this man. Maybe that was a memeory...or something. I felt myself smile. That has to be it! I never had dreams like this before. It has to mean something! I heard the door unlock behind me and I spun around to see the woman.
"I heard you wanted to see me." she said with an evil smile.
"Yes." I said and walked closer to her. "I know your plan."
"My plan?" she asked.
"Don't play dumb." I said. "I heard you talking to that "doctor" out there." I pointed to my door. "You want to break me. You want me to go insane."
"I have no idea what you are talking about." she said and I glared at her. "You're here because you are insane and need to be locked up. Listen to you. You're making up all these plans in your mind."
"Why is no one visiting me than?" I asked, my voice getting louder. "I know I have family!"
"You have no one." she said. "You are no one."
"I'm Belle!" I yelled and she chuckled.
"Whatever you want to believe. I still have no idea why you chose that name. I told the doctor to just agree with you and to call you that to make you happy." she said and started to head towards the door.
"There's a man waiting for me." I said and she stopped walking. "He...he uses a cane and has a limp. I know he's real. And he has something to do with me." She turned around slowly. Her smile was gone. "I dreamed about him. I have people who care out there."
"My...you're disolusions are getting worse." she said slowly. "We must do something about that...maybe an increase of your meds." I knew what she was trying to do. She was trying to scare me. To make me back down. It wasn't going to work.
"These are not delusions." I said strongly. "I know he's someone who was important in my life. I can feel it." She looked at me and I stared back daring her to deny this.
"Maybe an increase in meds isn't something you need." she said and I felt a triumphant smile spread across my face. I won! She knows she can't trick me. "Oh doctor!" she called and soon the huge man walked into my room. "The patient here is in need of some help." He looked at me and a smirk grew across his face. "Maybe some electric shock therapy will help." My smile faded as I looked at her with horror.
"Electric shock?" I whispered. That didn't sound good..."No...I don't need that."
She looked at me and her evil smile appeared again. "I think that's just the thing you need. It'll get those pesky delusions out of your head once and for all." I started to back up farther into my room. "Grab her." She told the doctor and he lunged forward and picked me up. No matter how hard I hit him or how loud I shrieked he wouldn't put me down. He dragged me into a new room, a room I never saw before. He strapped me down to a cold chair and placed something on my head.
"Patient, are you ready?" she said to me while standing next to a strange machine.
"My name is Belle!" I screamed. She flipped a switch and everything went black.
