The next morning I woke early I had a vision the night before and in my sleep of just

darkness, it went on forever. As if I had fallen into a black abyss and I couldn't find any

light.

I couldn't shake the feeling of sadness and shadow that had shaken my dreams last night.

I changed quickly and went to join Sophie in the kitchen. She quickly made breakfast for

me and hardly spoke a word to me.

We ate in silence, just waiting for each other to talk.

"Where is Mama and Papa?" I asked.

"In town, they will be back soon." Her pink lips spread into a fake smile.

Her tears were nearly coming out of her emerald green eyes. I felt tears begin to escape

my own eyes and flow swiftly down my high cheek bones.

"Oh Mary please stop crying." She sobbed and wrapped her thin arms around my neck

"You are too." I accused. "I'm going to miss you so much."

We sobbed in each others arms until we heard a noisy motor vehicle approach the house.

We heard Cynthia race down stairs and she held me close not willing to let go. She knew

as well as myself and Sophie what the motor vehicle was here for.

"No, please don't go Mary. Don't leave me." Cynthia choked in my arms.

"I will return Cynthia please remember me." I begged.

Two men opened the door and walked inside slowly. One was very tall and muscular, he

had a small mousey face that didn't really suit him. And the man with him was short and

skinny with jet black hair and olive skin.

"Mary Alice Brandon?" The short one asked formally.

He looked down at Cynthia and myself crying in each others arms.

"Can you please give them just a moment to say goodbye?" Sophie asked the men.

"We truly are sorry but we have to take her now, it is our orders." The taller man

answered softly.

"Fine then. Cynthia say goodbye." Sophie whispered softly to us.

"No. She should not go. I cant live with out her." She cried.

"Cynthia, I love you. But I must go. Please come visit me." I said softly.

"They will not allow visitors in the asylum. Say goodbye, we must leave." The short man

said.

I didn't like him but I knew he was right.

I kissed Cynthia's wet cheek and hugged her the last time. I hugged Sophie tightly and

kissed her cheek too

I followed the men out the door. They sat me in a black motor vehicle with a red cross on

the side.

I held the necklace Cynthia gave me tightly in my hand the clipped it on behind my

Neck. It felt weird to be in a motor car as big as this. I was ordered to stay inside for the

last 6 months, I had missed just watching the sun set in the horizon. Now I would never

see it again.

I wished to see my mother and father one last time before I went into that horrible dark

place.

We came to a stop and the 2 men opened the door for me and helped me out. We walked

into a vast grey concrete building with bars on the very few windows. The men pushed

open the two very heavy doors for me. I walked in awkwardly.

I seen the man at the front desk he gasped as he saw me and his entire body went ridged.

I gasped as I seen him too. This was the man from my vision. He was tall, very handsome

and very pale. He had dark hair that was tied back into a pony tail. His eyes were a

disturbing but strangely beautiful ochre. Id never seen somebody so beautiful or so

terrifying. I was scared but I didn't know why, and I felt bad for not wanting to look at

him, but I couldn't look away.

"Mary Alice Brandon?" he asked in a voice so sweet and rich it reminded me of honey.

"Uhhh that's me." I said. I must sound mad, I guess this was the right place for me.

"Your mother and Father are waiting for you, if you would just like to follow me." He

stood up to reveal his amazing shape.

Id never really noticed any of the boys from school or in the neighbouring houses but this

man was so beautiful I couldn't look away as I followed him down a long dark hall lit

with torches.

We walked gracefully but somehow awkwardly as well. As if he wasn't breathing. We

weren't the whole way through the hall when he suddenly turned to look at me.

He stared me straight in the eyes. I felt fear pulse through me. He stepped closer to me

with a strange look in his eyes as if he wanted to kill me, but he couldn't as if something

was holding him back. His hand reached forward as if he couldn't control it. I swallowed

hard. He stroked my hair gently. I felt the room spin and before I knew it, I was

falling to the ground then everything went black
