True Potential

Chapter 5

A/N: Yay! Finally somebody else, other than Elwing-Evenstar, has reviewed! (Not that I don't totally appreciate Evenstar reviewing, because she's now a new buddy I've gained via fanfic!) Jim, there is going to be more conflict, I can't say what, because it'll totally spoil the story for everybody else, but I am adding in more conflict, either in chapter 6 or 7. There is going to be a flashback to some drama in this chapter, and Jim, I loved your suggestion, but sadly, this is set at the start of season 7, (well towards the start at least). Anyways, PLEASE EVERYBODY REVIEW! If you are enjoying the story, then give me a review, heck, even if you hate it, review. I could really use a boost of reviewy goodness, so please, put some petrol in my writing machine and review it!

Natasha woke suddenly in the white bed. Her head was pounding. She tried to lift her arm up to massage her temple, but it was strapped down. She tried the other arm, which too, was strapped. She started to panic and tried to kick her legs, but they were also strapped down. She started to cry with frustration. Why had they done this to her? Why was she, a perfectly sane person, strapped to a bed? And then it hit her.

Flashback- the night before- patients lounge

Natasha was sat in a seat, watching some weird soap opera on the small black and white television that was on the wall. A rough looking girl with dirty blonde hair came over and stood in the way of the TV. She was chewing on a piece of bubble gum.

"So you're the new girl?"

"Yeah, name's Nat." Natasha said, trying to be cool.

"I'm Kelly. You look like a smart girl, so let me get one thing straight. I rule this dump, so don't be thinking you can come in here and take over."

"Do I look like I'm planning domination anytime soon?" Natasha snapped.

"Ooh touchy," Kelly looked over her shoulder and gestured for four girls to join her, "look what we got girls, new girl thinks she's hard."

"You wanna teach her a lesson, Kel." A pretty black girl said.

"Oh I will." Kelly said.

Natasha stood up and glared at Kelly. Kelly was short and stumpy, Natasha was tall and slim, at least 3 inches taller than any of Kelly's friends. She turned her back and walked away, but Kelly had other ideas.

"Stupid psycho thinks she can walk away from me." She said to her friends.

At this Natasha lost it. She turned around and ran at Kelly. She pulled at her hair and scrammed her face.

"Help! She's attacking Kelly!" The pretty black girl yelled.

Two male nurses ran over and pulled Natasha off the girl. She kicked and tried to break free, but they were too strong. One threw her over his shoulder and hurried to her room. He threw her down on the bed, and Nurse Mullens helped him strap her down. The Nurse then injected something into Natasha's arm. She lay there screaming and trying to break free for a while, until her screams became sobs and she fell into a deep, forced sleep.

Nurse Mullens walked into the room. She stood beside Natasha's bed, and in a soft, calm voice, said "Good morning Natasha. How are you feeling?"

"My head, it's killing me."

"That's just a side effect from the drugs; it's nothing to worry about."

"D-drugs?"

"Yes, you had a fit last night; we had to use drugs as calming measures."

"B-but I'm not crazy."

"I know your not, you're just schizophrenic."

"That means I'm mad."

"I can't win with you can I?"

"Nope, not until you realise. I'M NOT FREAKING CRAZY!"
