The Crazytown safe house was an oppressive building built out of three units. The first unit was a low security unit for those people who had minor mental difficulties and impairment. It housed psychologists and a day unit for any that needed them. The doors had no locks and residents were allowed to roam free with minimal supervision.
The second unit housed the medium security residents. These included obsessive compulsives, depressives, mildly aggressive and unstable people. There were patrols in this unit every five minutes. Locks were optional on doors according to a risk assessment. Residents were supervised a little more than those in the first unit and main common rooms were rare.
The third unit was the maximum security unit and housed the most degenerate residents. These residents included the most unstable of people, multi personality disorder sufferers, psychos, people on suicide risk and extremely aggressive patients. Most of these people were kept sedated for most of their stay despite round the clock patrols. There would often be screams piercing the air at night from those who reality had abandoned completely and left under the blanket of madness. Lily herself had been housed in the unit and her name was infamous amongst those who had wits enough to know her.
Robyn had been placed in the medium security unit as a cautionary measure. She was supervised by a nurse who tended her cuts and helped her with dressing and washing as Robyn was still in a near withdrawn state.
Robyn was in the bath and her nurse tended her. She was sitting as still and silent as a statue still lost in the realm of unending torment she'd been thrown into by her attack. The nurse had tried her best to engage Robyn in conversation but received no answer. One thing she was glad of was that Robyn cooperated with everything and assisted her as best she could in getting the tasks done.
"The water's getting cold now. We'd best get you out and dry. Once we've done that we can go out in the garden and see all the pretty flowers. You like flowers don't you?" The nurse asked gently helping Robyn out of the bath.
While the nurse dried her off Robyn's eyes fell on the mirror on the wall in front of her. She looked at her own reflection and her eyes widened when she saw the reflection change and age a little. She knew the face in the mirror but didn't know from where. Robyn's eyes widened even more when the face smiled at her and then changed back into her own. Robyn felt strange but couldn't put her finger on why.
"Come, stop staring at that mirror you vain thing. Let's get you dressed." The nurse scolded lightly.
"Yes. Get dressed and go outside," Robyn answered slowly and distractedly her eyes still fixed on the mirror.
The nurse looked up at Robyn with great surprise, "why, those are the first words you've said since you got here. The Doctor shall be most pleased when he reads my report."
"Report?"
"Nothing for you to worry yourself with. It's just a progress report so the Doctor knows how you're doing."
Robyn nodded. She still felt extremely strange and didn't know what was wrong with her. The nurse helped her dress and seemed to notice that something was wrong with Robyn. The girl was trembling slightly and her skin was as cold as ice. Before the nurse could hit the alarm button Robyn fell to the ground as if in a faint. The nurse felt for Robyn's pulse and was worried as the pulse seemed to fluctuate between going fast and slow. The nurse stood up to press the alarm button and stifled a scream when Robyn sat up; her eyes had changed from their normal light blue to a much darker blue. Robyn cocked her head to one side and smiled something of a mocking smile. The nurse was frozen to the spot in fear and couldn't move a muscle. Robyn stood up with deliberate slowness in an act of intimidation. Before the nurse could stop her Robyn threw the nurse against a wall, the nurse's head made impact with the wall and she fell to the ground unconscious. Robyn went over to the bathroom window and effortlessly broke the safety chains which prevented the window from being opened too far. After she had opened the window Robyn dragged the now stirring nurse to it. Picking her up with unknown strength Robyn pushed the nurse out of the window; the nurse came to in time to scream before she hit the ground.
The scream had alerted a member of staff on the floor below and when they saw the body of the nurse on the ground they pressed the alarm button and ran down the stairs out onto the grounds. A multitude of other people ran to see what the commotion was and formed a crowd around the now dead nurse.
Robyn opened the bathroom door slowly and peeked out. Once she was sure the coast was clear she left the room and walked down the corridor. With all the commotion of the nurse being found dead no one noticed Robyn slip out of a back door in the minimum security unit.
'That was too easy,' Robyn thought to herself with pride. By the time anyone checked the bathroom to try and find her she would be well away from the safe house and on her way to her destination.
Lazytown.
