Warning: This chapter WILL contain swearing, so if you find it offensive,
don't read!!
Don't even think of gettin' inside
Voices in my head, voices
I got scratches, all over my arms
One for each day, since I fell apart

Silently, the pair flooed into the hospital, from Honeydukes. After signing Ginny in and making sure all the necessary paperwork was in place, Remus left her in her room to unpack.
Looking at the surrounding white walls, Ginny was beginning to understand how only the crazy could live here; the décor alone would drive you insane. She looked around for a place to put her stuff when she felt a gaze boring a hole in her back. Dropping her bags she whipped around only to be faced by a calm figure with crossed arms leaning against the doorframe.
"You can leave 'em right there. We have house elves for a reason, ya know" drawled a girl who looked no more then 15. "Kali, by the way" she introduced as she walked swiftly towards Ginny, her long black hair trailing behind her.
Standing a little taller and holding out her hand, "Virginia" she stated. Kali suddenly grabbed her arm. "Well, we know why you're here," she said, sounding slightly more receptive. "I must admit I was curious."
Just then a small cobra slithered in, followed by stately reddish-orange cat with stunning blue eyes. Looking questioningly at the petite Indian girl, Kali quickly introduced them. "These are my therapy mates, that's Cerridwen, she's an African Golden Cat, and this is my baby Styx." She calmly stroked the cobra sliding up her arm. "Therapy mates?" "Yeah, the Holy Ones implanted a therapy program requiring each participant to have a bird, a reptile and a cat or dog." Kali stated with rolling eyes. "Something about venting frustrations, loyalty and responsibility. If you don't want either/or of the pets, just throw a fit. I did, it works all the time, except on the meds. Once they get you started on those, they're impossible to get off of. And don't worry, the hospital pays for them." she explained, glancing at Ginny's robes.
Before Virginia could reply, there was a sharp knock at the door. She heard Kali mutter something about "the Holy Ones gracing us with their presence" as a nurse entered. Nodding curtly in greeting to both of them, she explained, "I'm here to check the new patients bags." With that she opened up the bags and removed all of Virginia's belts and all strings including her shoelaces. The nurse, who she now identified as being Lucy by her nametag, then proceeded to tell to remove all her jewellery. Reluctantly she handed it all over. Lucy then proceeded to leave, telling Ginny to have a nice stay. Just as Kali opened her mouth to comment, Lucy's head popped back in and told Kali that she would be moved into Virginia's room. This obviously did not suit Kali, and true to her word she began throwing a fit.
"I f***in refuse to move rooms!!! I don't wanna f***in move!!!I refuse you motherf***er!! You're always doing this to me you stupid, b*tchy jacka$$. "You little bint, I hate you!!! You always do this. I don't wanna move, it hurts to move!!!" she screamed, banging her head on the wall. Quickly the nurse moved to soothe her. "It's okay, we're not moving you anywhere. Virginia can move to your room. It's okay; it's okay..." the nurse cooed. From her spot on the bed, Virginia could see Kali's grin starting to spread. Kali then sank to the floor and begin nodding her head. Seeing Kali had calmed, Lucy clapped and instructed the houself that appeared to take Virginia's bags to Kali's room and unpack her. Lucy then left quietly.
Stretching her neck and arching her back, Kali called for Cerridwen. Twisting her neck, she said "Wha'd I tell ya? Easy as pie. Trust me you'll like the view better in my room." With that she left, Styx around her neck and Cerridwen at her heels.
Slowly Virginia followed, entering her new world and shedding her old. Beginning the transition between colours.

A.N. I am still sick, much to my disappointment and I have sooo much work to catch up on in school. But I'm home right now and on drugs...about 6 different ones. And I feel like a quick rant, so please indulge me. My guidance counsellor called yesterday and supposedly I missed an appointment I didn't make. And then she proceeded to tell me how my being "jaded, bitter, sarcastic and snarky will eventually/potentially ruin my future" thus she, who is also my English teacher has signed me up for a short story contest in which I must write a fairytale. I don't friggin do fairytales, so I'm afraid she'll be oh so sorely disappointed with what I do give to her. * smiles sweetly* Whopps,lol. Well there was my mini rant for the chapter. *grins * Oh and about my characters, yes their names do mean something so feel free to look them up,lol. Thank you to my reviewers, who read my crappy chapter before this and will most probably be disappointed with one too.
Cassi Angelica- lol, it does rock, you can get so much done at 2am:D
Athena-Sparow- Thanks, I love my prologue (not too modest, am I? oh well, can't be everything) it came to me a 1am during an insomnia period,lol.
Samara- Thanks, I hope so too. Sooner or later the 6 something pills have to take effect, rite?
Till next time, Avi
