Phoebe whimpered as the doors behind her closed on their own. She turned
back to look at Prue and Piper, who were crying in each other's arms. A few
tears slid down Phoebe's face as she watched them.
"Come on." A soft voice said.
Phoebe turned away and followed the doctor and guard down a long hallway. They passed many people who, if Phoebe hadn't been numbed by the pain, would have scared her senseless.
"Here you go." The doctor said and stopped in front of a door.
The guard pulled out his keys and unlocked the door. He opened the door and Phoebe shuffled inside.
"Someone will come to get you later, for dinner." The doctor said. The door was then closed and Phoebe could hear their footsteps disappear.
Phoebe looked around the room and nearly burst out crying. There had been an attempt to make the place look pleasant, but it was a failure. The sheets were a shabby gray, the walls a pale yellow, and the carpet was an ugly orange.
Phoebe sighed and dropped her bag at the edge of the bed. She sat down and just stared ahead.
She knew why she had to be there, their magic would most certainly be exposed if there was a trial, but she also knew she had to stop speaking of Paige if she ever wanted to get out. Of course, she couldn't stop speaking about her. If she did, they would all forget about her.
Phoebe laid down and winced at the pain. She just wished that Leo could have been able to heal her, she didn't like living with the bruises; with the pain. She yawned and closed her eyes, hoping that when she woke up, she would find it all to be a dream.

Phoebe felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Five more minutes Prue." She mumbled and turned over.
"If you don't get up," A foreign voice said, "You're going to miss dinner."
Phoebe opened her eyes and turned around. She saw an annoyed nurse looking at her.
"I'll be ready in a minute." Phoebe said and sat up.
"If you're not ready now," The nurse said. "You don't eat. What? You think you'll walk down by yourself?"
It was then Phoebe remembered that all the people at the place thought she would snap and stab them with a pen at any minute. She sighed and stood up. The nurse just frowned and left, Phoebe following.
Once they were in the cafeteria, Phoebe suddenly felt like she was in high school again. But a very hellish high school. The nurse led her to the line, then walked off.
Phoebe grabbed a tray and went down the line. She scrunched up her nose at the food, it was definitely worse than highschool. When she reached the end of the line, she saw a crabby old woman.
"Name?" The woman asked as soon as Phoebe appeared in front of her.
"Ph - Phoebe Halliwell."
"Take these." The woman said and gave Phoebe a tiny plastic cup; it held two pills.
"Oh, but I don't need -"
"Oh, but you do need." The woman said.
Phoebe frowned, then downed the pills. She made her way to an empty table and sat down. She was afraid that someone would try to sit with her, but Phoebe soon realized that it *was* like highschool. Everyone seemed to be split up into different cliques, and she didn't have a place anywhere.
"Come on." A soft voice said.
