Chapter 2:

*No One's POV*

Shadow is playing with Victoria the Doll the next day. All cleaned up and stomach filled with breakfast. Everything was going good until a guard interrupts the happy moment.

"Hey witch, it's time for your session," he says, opening the cell door.

She stares at him with such confusion because she hasn't have a session for months. Her dangling legs meet the cold floor with the dolly in her arms.

The guard takes the witch to session room number nine. Inside, her onyx eyes meet the blue eyes of Dr. Jonathan Crane. They are met in a romantic glance which was ruined by the guard.

He slams the door loud.

Jonathan watches her actions and behavior. Shadow appears to be shy as she clutches onto her dolly tighter. Her barefeet moves along the floor to the table where he is sitting at.

"Hello Miss Shadow," his smile makes her heart skip a beat. "I'm Dr. Jonathan Crane."

"Hi," she speaks in a soft tone of voice.

"Who is this?" he asked, noticing the doll.

"Would you like to ask her?" Shadow asked feeling a little comfortable with the doctor.

Jonathan raises an eyebrow at the witch and then smirk and closed his eyes for a second. "Hello there," he says to the doll. "May I ask what's your name?"

The doll didn't answer just stare at him with her big glassed blue eyes from the full, curled up lashes.

"I'm sorry, she's shy," Shadow smiles softly. "Her name is Victoria."

"Pretty name. May we begin?" he asked both of them.

"Okay," Shadow smiles a little more, making his heart skip a beat.

She sits down on the chair with Victoria in her arms.

"You have been in here since you were seven years old," he says, going through the case file.

"Yes that's correct."

"Any reason why do you know?"

"Mommy and Daddy says that I am going to live here for now on."

"Do you know why?"

"I am not sure. I remembered that they have pediophobia, the fear of dolls."

He raises an eyebrow with a smirk. "Anything else?"

She shook her head like a child.

"Alright, how about you tell me what do you like to do?"

"I like to draw monsters, make spells, play tea parties, place House, and read."

That catches his attention. "What do you like to read?"

Shadow pauses for a few moments before admitting, "Everything."

His glass covered eyes stare at her into her beautiful eyes. "What about reading do you like?" Dr. Crane asked.

"The fear factor." She then chuckles, "it's always humorous when people get scared over something so beautiful."

A smirk curls on the doctor's face. "Do you enjoy the study of phobias?"

She smirks as well, "Oh yes very much so. My favorites are pediophobia and nyctophobia."

"The fear of the dark," he smiles.

Shadow blushes a little with a smile.

"Session's over," the guard speaks from the other side of the door.

Dr. Crane and Shadow exchange one last glance before departing. From that moment on, he knew that he wants her to be his patient.
