A/N I am sorry I haven't updated sooner! I have been busy with school (coughcoughMathcoughSuckscough) and community service projects on the weekends. Also, Halloween, the greatest night (besides Christmas) of the year, is in 2 DAYS!!!! I have been going to numerous parties, so that is my lame excuse for not writing. This chapter is a filler, but I will probably edit it and include more of Bella's insane thoughts. But the next chapter will be ALL ACTION!!! YAY!
Here is a brief summary of the first chapter: Basically, Edward leaves and after five years he is still depressed. Carlisle gets a call from this mental place and is asked to check on this one patient that is suffering a serious illness. Carlisle drags the hole clan down to Seattle. When they arrive, Edward sees a motorcycle resting against a wall under a window, and they are greeted by a terrified lady, Dr. Newton (One of Mike's relatives) and she tells the story of this girl who was abandoned by her boyfriend. The girl had taken a gun to school and shot and killed numerous classmates and then she came home to found her father had shot himself. She is sent to an asylum, but escapes by murdering her guards. She is sent to another mental place, but escapes by blowing a hole in the wall with explosives and escapes. She is found again and finds herself in this facility. The Cullens feel sorry for the girl, and they follow Dr. Newton into her office where they can spy on her via camera. Edward is horrified when that girl just happens to be Bella.
I forgot the disclaimer on the last chapter, so I will just say it on this on

Bella POV
It was just another boring day in the asylum. But it was just about to get exciting! Today is the big day! I thought to myself, smiling wickedly. My face however, showed no emotions. I have had a good five years of learning how to keep my emotions off my face, especially when I planned evil plans, like I was doing now.
Mr. Newton just kept on asking me pointless questions that he would never get answers to, and pictures that could never get emotion on my face. I was glad that he would be silenced soon…
I suddenly felt someone, or more like multiple someones, watching me through the camera that was hung on the wall. At first I had felt self conscious being watched by cameras all the time, but over time I had gotten used to it after being around them for several years. I still felt the presence of eyes on my face, and I grew annoyed and raised my head to look at the camera dead center. People were frightened of my cold face, so that should get rid of the stares of the onlookers.
I saw something white flash out of the corner of my eye, so I whipped my head sharply to the left only to come face to face with the Cullens. They were all smiling at me, so I greeted them with a warm smile. I only show emotions at my hallucinations, and they were the only thing that really kept me alive.
Mr. Newton sighed when he followed my smiling gaze towards the corner of the white room. He and practically everyone else in the mental institution knew that when I saw my hallucinations, I didn't like to be bothered.
"Hello Isabella, how are you today?" the hallucination Esme asked politely, like she did every day.
"Why very well, thank you. And how about your lovely self?" I answered warmly back.
"I am just ecstatic! I know that face, Isabella! Today is going to be the big day, isn't it?"
"Yep!" I replied, popping the 'p'.
Mr. Newton had stopped questioning me long ago, and just shook his brown-haired head sadly as I talked to the air next to me.
As I was just sitting there smiling at the imaginary Cullens, I heard Mr. Newton's chair softly scrape the floor. I sharply turned towards him as he walked away, back facing me.
Big Mistake….
Edward's POV
I watched, completely horrified, as Bella just gazed at the camera. What had happened to her? Her beautiful face was hollow from weight loss and aging, her once gorgeous brown hair now glowed only dully from lack of conditioner, and her eyes; her once soulful brown eyes now offered nothing that was going on in her head. Was it even possible to have nothing inside your head?
I could feel the stares of my family on my back and on the screen were Bella's face filled up the screen. Suddenly out of nowhere, she snapped her head to one side. I was extremely surprised when she cracked a smile at nothing in particular. What scared me even more was the sound of her voice:
" Why very well, thank you. And how about your lovely self?" What the hell was going on? Her voice sent chills down my spine; the bad kind. What had happened to the innocent angel I had once held in my arms? The angel I had kissed with my cold, marble full lips? Had I driven her to this awful place?
The sound of her voice came again, "Yep." What was she agreeing to? Who could she possibly be talking to?
For a few moments, she just stared, smiling. However, that was not the smile of my Bella. This girl had the wicked smile of a demon. It showed a little of her teeth, and one corner of her mouth was pulled farther up than the other. It was similar to my own infamous crooked smile, but hers was in no way seductive.
As Mr. Newton got to his feet, Bella turned towards him.
As he turned his back on Bella, nothing could have prepared me for what happened next….
