DISCLAIMER- I do NOT own higher ground or any of its characters except for
Shaye and others in previous chapters. Blah blah this is the last time i'm
writing this disclaimer.
Update- Sorry it has taken me forever to write this chapter and sorry that it is not very well written. I was shipped away during summer to someplace and had no time to write or anything. Sorry if this is graphic but im telling the story of how I figure it would be if I went to horizon. I'll try to write more but with school and I have a hectic semester it will be hard but im trying to manage. Thanks for reading

Shaye walked into Peter's office, she could hear Peter and the precious Sophie outside talking about her. How could they think that she couldn't hear them? Shaye opened up her bag and went searching through it to try to find the bottle of painkillers that she stole from her father before they left. When she couldn't find them she searched for more of her pills yet nothing. Nothing at all, they were all gone as with her razor.
"Where the fuck is all my stuff?!?!" Shaye screamed out.
Peter realizing he forgot to tell the girl about the bag search closed his eyes and sighed heavily knowing this was going to be a tough week.
Peter walks into the office and before he could say one word Shaye cut in "I want my stuff and I want it now, you had no right to go through my stuff. I thought that was against the law or something. I could sue you."
"While you were getting your physical done, or *not* getting your physical done we had to search your bags to remove any objects that were harmful or were against school rules. Your parents had given us permission to search your bags as soon as you arrived. Nobody is admitted into this school unless they get their bags and belongings searched."
"I know now isn't a good time and you still have yet to get out of those wet clothes, we need to talk." Peter said, trying to change the subject. "I don't want to talk nor do I -have- to talk to you or anyone else." She retorted not giving Peter the chance to argue back she gets up. "You broke school rules, there are consequences. No matter if you're new here or if you've been here for three years."Shaye cut in again "You mean I have to stay here for three years?" "No, well it depends on your progress." Peter answered.
"Sophie will show you to your dorm and hopefully get a buddy to show you around. Dinner is in the hall at 7pm."
With that, Sophie led the frail girl out of the office and to the girls dorm where Juliette was to be waiting to show her around.
They arrived but Jules was nowhere to be found.
"Your bed is over there." Sophie said pointing to the bed nearest the bathroom. "I'll leave you to get unpacked while I try to find Juliette." Sophie said while leaving Shaye to get settled in.
"I can't believe I'm here." She told herself. Having no recollection of what happened earlier she panicked at the thought of perhaps slipping what has happened to her to peter. 'No I couldn't have said anything I promised I would never say anything i'm not breaking that now.too much relies on me not telling I have to protect them.' She tried to re-assure herself. Depressed that Peter took away the one thing that saved her from being lost in herself -her razor- she threw everything out of her bag onto her bed hoping that he missed the one she had hid under the bottom of the lining. Gone. So there she was a frail little girl sitting on her bed not knowing what exactly to do she saw a glimmer in her eye. Shaye turned to look and saw a glass kitten on the night table of one of her bunkmates. "Should I?" she questioned herself. Instead she wandered into the girls bathroom and smashed her fist straight into the mirror above the sink. Not caring about Peter and his so called consequences she took the shards of glass and pressed them down on her wrist. Not wanting to kill herself but not wanting to live for another breath of air. She sat there cutting and carving her skin until there was blood all around her and over her clothes. Still feeling weak from her sprint and having not eaten in a few days she passed out, blood loss.
7 o'clock rolled around and the new girl had yet to arrive at the dinning hall. Sophie finally meeting up with Jules asked why she wasn't at the dorm when told to be there.
"I forgot." "That's not like you Jules, is everything okay?" "I'm fine I just forgot. No need to get all serious on me. Sorry I forgot." Sophie stared at the girl in puzzlement all the while thinking to herself what has gotten into her. "I'm here if you ever need to or want to talk, you know that and so are all the other counselors if you want." Juliette nodded and sat down at the table. Peter caught up with his wife and asked her where Shaye was. Sophie turning to see that the girl wasn't at the table. "Probably still in the dorm that's where I last left her. Do you want me to go and get her?" "No, let me. Maybe she will clue me in, as to what happened earlier in the woods." "Okay Mountain man but be gentle." "Always."
-Knock knock-
Peter opened the door slightly to peek in. When he couldn't see the girl on her bed he thought she had ran again. Before turning to leave he sees the light in the bathroom still on and a shadow in the door. Peter walked over to the door and knocked, once again with no answer he opened the door to find Shaye sitting there in a daze a single tear rolling down her cheek.
Peter stood there shocked not knowing what to say. Reached over to put his hand on the girls shoulder. She moved away not because she was scared of what he would say but because she didn't want him to touch her blood. Peter wrapped her cuts as well as he could. All the while trying to get her to talk but she was silent not wanting to speak. There wasn't many cuts to wrap nor were they very deep but there was enough for peter to suspect many more from previous times. He pulled up her sleeves and saw the scratchboard of lines and scars from time and time again. Looking over all of her wounds he noticed bruising around her wrist. Peter knowing the girl was probably terrified didn't question anything at that time. They walked to the infirmary.
One place Shaye has seen too much already, one place where she felt safe but threatened. A place that holds so much help and relief but also holds more pain that normal. A place she never wants to come back too.
