"Past talking"


Chapter 5: Happy thoughts!

Exactly fifty-five minutes has passed as a new doctor, a patient, and forcefully mutated woman, all came out of the medium size room. All laughing and wiping off the cake that was on themselves.

Jervis Tetch, or the Mad Hatter, didn't put his usual fight as a snicker escaped his mouth as the doctor mumbled something about having some cake up her nose and led the walk to his room.

The doctor smiled as she looked at her tape recorder again and smiled as she notice that the tape was almost done and her stench pad was already two pages filled with notes that needed to be assorted out.

Shouting her thanks, she went on her way and most likely strait home for a nice clean shower.

And as for Mary, another smile came up as two one of security guards came up and followed her to her room, as the account she didn't have her own key-card.


Another hour and a very clean female croc later. Two doctors came in with three security guards right behind them.

"Who do you think you are?"

The look of confused formed on Mary's face as she brought her hands up behind her back, "Pardon?"

"What you did to the question room was completely un-actable!"

"Oh!" the memory then came back to her, "That! Oh yeah, it was too funny…"

"Well the guards and I don't think…"

"That's right…" Mary said as she quickly got up and used her body to loom over everybody, giving everyone the hint that she wasn't playing around anymore, "You don't think, well you had to as some point, but when it's for the inmates that have to be here, you don't think twice about anything or anyone but when it's about you; you give the whole time in the universe to think about it…"

A doctor and two guards hightailed it out of the room but the two that stood behind were older, way older, than her and demanded respect from everyone and everything.

"Look, I was only trying to…"

"No! You look you young missy, I don't give a who-ha of what you are…"

A low but threading growl stopped the doctor in med-sentence.

Both doctor and security guard kept there lips slid tight as the crocodile-like woman before them pushed a heavy sigh through her small, but jagged teeth and pinched the bridge of her small but hard, armored like skin.

"Do both of you imbeciles know what I promised myself from day one that I came here?"

Mary waited for a moment before she opened her eyes to see the doctor with one eyebrow raised up and the old guard with both of brows knitted together.

"I promised myself that I wouldn't attack anyone or anything as long as my life depends on it…"

Both doctor and guard was hesitant at first but they both saw something in Mary's eye and got the hint and left her be as they took slow steps towards the door.

Ivy waited for a moments as she watched Mary sit back down on her bed before peaking again.

"What happened this time?"

"Nothing much, but let me give it to you shortly. Me, Newbie, and the Hatter, all alone with cake and earl-grey tea…"

"Habboluza?"

"Oh yeah…"

"And a mess that would make Harl proud?"

"Grinnin ear to ear…"

The room was silent for a moment as Ivy's face was about to crack but Mary couldn't take it and began to laugh and soon after, Ivy's laugh joined in and it was a instant restart on there sister-hood pack.


The rest of the day was some as another days but other doctors and nurses were checking in every two hours.

And then a simple request came up…

"So what was your life before you came here…"

Mary-Lou looked up to see a late 20's male nurse, with thick brown hair and hazel green eyes.

Mary could feel the anger coming off of her room mate but gave her a look to calm down.

Ivy just scoffed as she plopped down on her new, all natural, chair.

"Well, the last time that I left off, is actually is the last place that I called home…"

Since the day I was 7, my life has been completely hell…

And then I went the next level as when I was 11...

And then some foster homes were a another step further down into the abyss…

And then running away and living on the streets just when I was 18...I'm surprised I'm not a crisped croc lady…

Well, what I remember last was shelter from the needle like rain and…

"Is she up yet?"

I let out a gruff grunt as I tried to turn my body but I felt like some leads weights were holding them down.

"Hey! Didn't I tell ya to leave the woman alone?"

Putting my concentration, I was able to open only one eye.

"Young Mickey, have I give you the advice to have more patients around the little ones?"

"Yes Father Edward, but…"

"Shh, I would seem our guest has awaken. How are you dear child?"

"Aside from the pounding headache, I guess I'm doing okay…"

I then forced my other eye to open and to my shock, I was in room full of kids of all different races and ages and right next to me, smiling at me was a father, I mean, a priest…

"Where am I?"

"Dear child, you are at St. Frances Orphanage and church."

I blink hard as I felt my eyes starting to get dry and then when I reopened them, my vision became clearer.

My body was stiff from the lack of movement and I had the urge to move.

The groans that came out of my body weren't as bad as the sounds of my bones were making.

"Boys, please come hand a help to this young lady!"

I didn't have the strength to fight off the different size hands as they either cupped the back of my upper arm or my lower back.

I mumbled a low thank you as more pillows were added to the ones already that supported my neck.

Many questions rang through my mind as I gripped the starchy sheets below me.

"How…" I stopped for a moment to clear the croakness that was in my throat, "How long have I've been out?"

"For two days child."

I let out a sigh as I nodded my head, thus hearing a few gasps coming from the little ones.

I opened my eyes and looked down to see a small child, no more than four, pushing his way threw the older ones legs and coming strait towards me.

I didn't know why but I held my breath as his green eyes were already looking into mine.

And the next thing he did wasn't something he said…

"Cool!"

Yeah…

That broke the ice…

For two years that very same place became my home…

Since the priest has his own home in the back of the orphanage, I was given a privet room for myself but I tried to keep it close to the girls rooms.

During that time, I became the genital giant, the lizard lady, the green giant girlfriend…

Don't ask me, but I kept a check on there sugar intake since that day forward…

But I gotta admit, my favorite that I got from them was Momma Lou-Lou…

The ones that demanded more attention the age group between 3 and 8.

And the least ones that need my attention were the 14 and 17.

I know that I said before that parts of life were hell, but you gotta remember that I did have some good ones to remember by.

When I 14, the family that I stood with, were the kind that really didn't really on technology and the kids and I were home schooled and on weekends or when we were ahead on our studying, we had to learned how to play and internment and I feel in love the piano.

And lucky, the church had a piano but they put it on the upper balcony so the people couldn't see me but the father did give me all of the complements of my playing.

I truly believed that I've found my calling and my new home…

I was doing good, I love it here and wouldn't change these wild and crazy kids for nothing…

But one day, I all crashed down….

I just finished feeding and changing the last baby as I notice that I was wide awake…

A groan passed my lips as the next rounds of feeding wasn't till for another thirty minutes, so I decided to turn on the T.V. and watch some news to kill some time.

And then I turn up the volume as the words, "LATE BREAKING REPORT!" came into view.

The news report came out saying that two patients from Arkham Asylum has broken out and are now presumed to head for the city.

One was a cereal killer and past history of being a rapist and the other a constant offender of a rapist.

A cold and hard chill ran up and down her spine as she her thoughts started to go towards the kids and teens…

And before I knew it, a small cry came from the nursery and I got up to make the bottle…

I decided to give a small break as my dinner came in, along with Ivy's.

The male nurse who asked me the question, stood at the very end until he got the hint as I took a large bite of the raw steak and started to eat.

"Well I best be going, and thank you for telling me."

"And thank you for sitting and listening."

He nodded to me and then to Ivy, who now is semi-enjoying her salad.

After a while and know that they are giving me the rest of the day off, Mary started on her second steak.

"I've never heard you go that far…" Ivy said in a low tone, sneering at the older security guards.

"I know…"

"Was it really that life really good for you?"

I was just about to take a bite out of my third steak but stop to think about her question and I looking into her life before gave her the answer.

"Yes, but also do love this one…"

I knew that got off an good note that time as Pam has a small smile as she started to eat her salad again.

But as I took another small bite of my meal, all of my thoughts went to one big lug right now and took my anger and sadness into my meal as began to form a plan to get back with my hubby before had these little ones and find out why they did this to me…
