Kid jumped when Maka stirred awake. Maka opened her eyes slowly and looked around the room. She screamed when she saw Kid, Liz, and Patty. The three screamed also when Maka stopped. "What are you guys doing here? You guys were missing for weeks!" She screamed. "Uh, Maka, we came here the night before. We haven't been going to school for weeks though." Liz corrected when they all calmed down. "Really?" Maka was confused. "It doesn't matter! What are you here for?" Kid asked weakly. Maka took a good look at him. He had dull, tired eyes and his hair was ruffled. She was surprised that he didn't have an OCD attack already. Then again, he had more important things to worry about. His attire wasn't like it usually was. It was more baggy than usual and it had tears in it. Was Kid so insane that he got over his OCD? Maka shook her head, then the fear from before came back. "I... I saw these people with black eyes and sharp teeth with blood and flesh! It was horrible!" Maka said, tears slowly coming down her face.
"That's what we've been seeing too! Lord Death brought us here because Kid had almost killed himself, we were going to also!" Patty exclaimed. "I've thought about that too, but my stupid papa came and stopped me before the knife had gotten into my throat." Maka hissed. "This is good though! We may be able to survive this together! Though I don't know how much more we can last." Kid said. Everyone was silent after that. A shrill bell rang throughout the institution. "Look's like it's dinner time." Kid murmured. Everyone slowly exited out of their open doors (1) and headed downstairs. "Where are we going?" Maka asked quietly. "We're going down to a cafeteria. It's in another floor since we're on the top." Kid whispered back. "Also don't look at people. We don't want to have to risk seeing people like that." Liz whispered. Maka immediately stopped looking around and concentrated on the floor in front of her.
Kid stopped at a door. There were lots of sounds and screams. "Welcome to a living hell." Patty muttered before walking in, everyone else following her. Kid stood at the back of the line. "Why don't we go with him?" Maka asked. "You see, we decided that everyone at that line would cause trouble for some other people here so we just decided to switch off every meal." Liz answered. Maka nodded before going to reserve a table for them.
Soon, Kid came back with their food, which was potatoes and chicken. Kid, Liz, and Patty, just stared at it. "What's wrong?" Maka asked them, taking a bite out of it. Her face scrunched up in disgust before she spit it out. "It tastes like shit! What do they put in it?" Maka asked, spitting the last of it out. "I have no clue. That's why we don't eat it." Kid murmured. Now she realized why they looked so skinny. They probably haven't eaten in days! Maka then realized she wasn't very hungry either. She pushed her food away. "You know, if we don't kill ourselves, we'll probably die of hunger too." Kid mused. Everyone laughed gently. "You know. Truth be told, this is the most I've gone without seeing things." Maka whispered. "Yes, it's a lot easier when other people see the same things as you because you won't see it on that person." Kid said. A nurse came by their table. "Are you enjoying the food?" She asked sweetly. Maka dared herself to look up to the nurse. She didn't get to though.
Liz screamed while Kid asked Liz and Patty to transform. Kid caught them and shot the nurse over and over in the chest. Everyone in the cafeteria stopped dead and stared at the 4. Kid was panting and his eyes were frightened. Maka turned back to the body and saw a twisted up face with thorn sharp teeth, pretty much the usual. Maka gasped. "Whatever we see, the other people who are having the same visions as us see it too." Maka whispered. Kid nodded and then changed the two back.
Security suddenly grabbed them. They yanked them back by our arms and Maka yelped in surprise. "Let me go!" She yelled. The receptionist. Hikari, came up to her and for once, she didn't see the horrible visions. "If you have gone insane enough to kill one of our people, we need to put you somewhere for special people ok? We'll be sure to bring you better food so you don't starve ok?" He asked and explained with a fake smile. "I'm not damn crazy! She had an evil face, I'm telling you!" Maka turned around to see Kid yelling at a security guard while struggling to get free. Another two guards were trying to calm Liz and Patty down. They were struggling saying the oath on how a weapon should follow, protect, and don't question them and stuff. Maka felt a wave of stillness go through her and suddenly couldn't move. She could tell Kid and the others felt it too because they stopped struggling.
"What the hell did you do to us?" Kid hissed. "You wouldn't comply so we had to use force." Hikari said. "We're not crazy though!" Maka yelled. They just pushed the four out of the cafeteria and down a hall. "Where are we going?" Liz dared to ask. "We're just going through some of the mildly crazy people who had to be restricted in a cell and then we'll arrive at your room." Hikari said without looking to her. She was glad though. She didn't exactly want to be eaten that day.
Hikari opened a room and the security pushed them all in. They fell face flat on the cushiony floor, not being able to catch themselves. Hikari closed the door and it locked. The were able to move now. Maka pushed herself up and immediately banged against a door. "No! Don't keep me in here!" She sobbed. "It'll be better this way because we won't see people and we won't have to worry about those awful images. He probably did us a favor." Kid soothed, though you could feel fear on his soul. "You're worried we'll be in here for the rest of our lives don't you?" Maka asked quietly. "You know I can't lie to you. Yes, I do think that." Kid sighed. Maka slowly walked to the back of the wall, trembling on the way. She collapsed to the ground and started crying.
"Why did we have to see those images?! It's ruined our lives!" Maka cried. Liz and Patty hugged Maka, trying to comfort the heartbroken teen. Kid glared at the door in fury. "It's not our damn fault we've gone fucking insane! What the fucking hell?!" Kid screamed at the door while banging at it with all his might. Damn metal doors. This was going to be a long life.
Alright! New chapter up! Sorry if it's too gory or something for you guys, but that just happens when you see things and you kill a few people at a mental institution ^^'
1) When the bell rings for a meal, the locked doors open and they walk out, though they all look like zombies. The doors are metal and can only open when that bell rings, not even the people who work there can open it.
Alright, that's all ^_^
