Boredom. That was the only word that can describe how Virgo is currently feeling. Now don't get her wrong, she hates being thrown in this asylum. However, unlike Lucy, Virgo knows how to be patient. To escape, stealth and information will be key for freedom. Yelling like that will only give you unwanted attention, something Virgo definitely doesn't want.

Virgo is a psychic, just like Lucy, the difference is… while Lucy befriends ghosts, Virgo detests them to her core. Why? Because these ghosts manipulated her to kill off her friends which resulted in her thrown to this asylum. She later found the truth, but it was already too late; no one would believe her, not her ex-friends, not even her parents.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Virgo decides to observe her room only to see a few cameras. And dammit, it has no blind spots. The cameras may be real, or it may be fake. However, Virgo wasn't going to take the chances of having her plan spoil. The only way that she may know is by viewing the monitors if it even has monitors.

Virgo sighed before sitting on her bed, contemplating on whether or not to take a walk and see if there were any weak spots in this fortress-like asylum. After thinking for a moment, she decides to leave but not without her loyal plushie. Virgo has learned it the hard way that waiting will do no good, waiting to be saved like a princess is the same as hoping pigs would fly. Besides, it won't hurt to explore a little right? Virgo doesn't have any idea on how the answer to that question will bite in the near future.

Next to Virgo's room is Lucy's. The blond is currently depressed about her father abandoning her like that. In an asylum, no less. After crying for a while, Lucy then decides to explore a little, hoping to find Boris. He seems friendly enough… right? Walking out of her room, she then proceeds to walk inside the building she is currently in. If her memory serves her right, this building is 3 stories high. Right now she is in the third floor where it's supposedly 'GIRLS ONLY'. …Now that Lucy thinks about it… where is Aries? Not a moment later, Lucy was tackled to the ground by a crying Aries who is giving her a death hug.

"Lucy~ help me… *sob* they touched me *sob*" Aries said in the midst of her crying.

Lucy averted her eyes from her companion and to the many male ghosts and gave them a glare while patting poor Aries. The ghosts don't seem scared of Lucy until…. A swarm of female ghosts blocks Lucy's view of the male ghosts. Well, not really block, it's just that Lucy's vision becomes a little bit blurry. Some were comforting Aries while the rest give glares to the men. The women had pitch forks and other weapons, showing it off before they charged to the men, punishing them.

Lucy smiled warmly to Aries, ignoring the havoc that is currently running right before her. "It's alright Aries, you have many friends. See, they are all protecting you." Lucy says reassuringly. Aries then starts to sniff, nodding. Lucy then places her hand on Aries' cheek. "Aries, don't be so afraid of making friends. However, you should also remember to choose the right people as your friends. And if you ever need me, you can always count on me."

Aries shyly looks at Lucy before she nodded and headed off to some of the female ghosts that comforted her. Lucy smiled at the sight before walking away, looking for other people who lives in the asylum.

How did come to this situation again? Is the question that Virgo is asking herself over and over. Here right now, sitting in the middle of Gowland's office is Virgo, who is very much awake, tied to a wooden chair. Now how did this happen? Ah yes, she was walking to a random direction before starting to daydream. Once she came back from LalaLand, she stood in front of a door. It was stupid of her not to read who the office belonged to. She just had to take that stupid violin and played it. Apparently, Gowland wasn't far from his office when he heard the melody.

Virgo, of course, panicked when she saw Gowland at the door, grinning like the idiot he is. Virgo tried to get out of his office, with the hope of him forgetting she was ever there. But it was all in vain. Why don't we get a flashback of the event?

"So, you play the violin?" a deep voice asked, making Virgo jump in surprise. Slowly, very slowly, Virgo turned her head only to see the one man she hoped she would never have to meet again, Gowland. Acting, that was the only thing Virgo could do at that moment. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude Dr. Gowland, and I didn't know this was your office." Virgo said, hoping her voice sounded innocent enough for the Doctor all the while setting the violin down to the table.

"Again, I'm sorry for barging in like that, if you would excuse me…" Virgo said while making her way to the door, hoping that Gowland would let her go. But fate decided to go against her as Gowland stretched his arm, blocking Virgo's path. "What's the hurry sweety?" he asked, smiling like a maniac while his hands made their way to Virgo's shoulder, pushing her back to the room. "As a fellow musician, I'd like to show my music skills too." He said after making Virgo sit on the chair, supposedly for a guest, and grabbed the violin that Virgo had just used.

Virgo had just seen a ghost boy coming in to the office. And once the boy saw Gowland, the ghost flew away like he had seen the devil himself. Great… that wasn't comforting at all. Virgo gulped. Whatever it is, seeing the ghost confirmed Virgo's need to escape. "I'm quite grateful that you are willing to show your…er… musical talent to me, but I mustn't bother you with such petty matters." Virgo politely said while walking slowly to the door. But Gowland caught her and put her back onto the seat. "Nonsense my dear, I insist." He cheerfully answered while tying the poor maiden to the chair.

So here she is right now… in Gowland's office, tied. TO. A CHAIR. Virgo glared at the floor, cursing herself for being so reckless. But then, she sighed. Whatever it is that made the ghost boy run, Virgo knew she could handle it. Gowland gave a smile to his *cough*forced*cough* audience before playing the violin. The sound made Virgo freeze. This sound…. IS PURE HORROR! Virgo forced herself to not scream from the cacophony that is currently bombarding her poor ears. Virgo contemplated on whether hitting herself with a sledge hammer was a better option than this. And Virgo decided the sledge hammer is a much better option than hearing this music of terror. At least she would be unconscious, unable to hear the hell called music through her ears. Now she just prays that this hell would be over quickly.

Kitty: nyah? Ehem, thanks MelodyKey for telling me about this. I've just read about HnKnA manga just recently. I just read the fanfiction you mentioned a few days ago, and you were right…. It was really similar. If you think this is too similar, I'll delete this story. *bows* thanks Melody~ by the way, what do you guys think of this chapter? confused?
