A.N: Thank you for the great response to the previous chapter! It took me 8 hours to write and I was quite unsure of its quality. To clarify, I made his thoughts scattered as it follows the scenes from EP 6 and 7. If you look closely at his facial expressions you can see all of his thoughts surround Lana, which is why i echo Eva's presence but didn't do overall focus. The next chapter should explain where we are up to in the story, but to answer your question, no Lana is not dead she escaped Thredson like in the show. Hope you enjoy this chapter please review
Chapter 8
"Sister Mary Eunice!" Eva called as she quick walked down the corridor after her. She looked round and smiled at the young psychiatrist.
"Yes Dr Sparrow?" Her voice was overly sweet, as if so sweet it became sickly.
"I heard Lana Winters was brought in last night?" Despite only meeting her a few times, Eva had liked Lana, she knew she didn't deserve to be in here and with Oliver gone she knew Lana would be on her own.
"Yes, I'm just on my way to see her now." Eva followed Mar Eunice down the sinister grey corridors.
"Sister, may I ask the reasons behind Sister Jude leaving us?"
"When the monsignor visited, he recommended her for a home for wayward girls in Pittsburgh. He then put me in charge."
"What a great opportunity for the both of you." Eva smiled as she turned the corner into the women's wing.
"Dr Sparrow as head of this institution I would like to offer you a full-time position here at Briarcliff." Sister Mary Eunice said holding out her hand for Eva to shake.
Eva took her hand "Thank you so much Sister, it will be a pleasure working alongside you." and shook it firmly. 'Work is work, and at the end of the day, I could make a real difference in this place. It would have been nice to have had Oliver by my side I suppose, then we could have made an even greater difference.'
As they walked past the cells they heard a commotion in the room at the end.
"Where is Sister Jude? I need to speak to Sister Jude!" They could hear Lana calling from her room. She was fighting with the nurse who was administering the daily medication.
"It's alright! I'll see to her." Mary Eunice said with great authority. Eva noticed something had changed within her. She wasn't the timid woman who would shy around Sister Jude. She was strong, in command, but Eva sensed something peculiar.
"Where is Sister Jude I need to speak to Sister Jude!" Lana said frantically.
"It's ok Lana calm down." Eva said reassuringly.
"Sister Jude is no longer with us. I'm in charge now."
"You?"
"That's right."
"No you simply must take-"
"No, you don't understand… Dr Thredson-"
"Dr Thredson isn't here either."
Eva let the two engage in conversation but her ears pricked up when she heard his name. "What about him Lana?"
"He's a murderer."
"What?" They said in unison.
"He killed Wendy."
"Wendy?" Eva asked.
"My Wendy. And all the others. It was him, it was Thredson, right from the start, it was him! You have to send for the police. You have to STOP him!"
"Calm down. Get back in bed please or I will be forced to restrain you." Sister Mary Eunice said forcefully.
"No, no no no no. I can't be chained down again. You don't know what happened." Lana was timid and obeyed. It was obvious something serious had happened to her.
"What happened Lana? Tell us."
"I know you have been in a very serious automobile accident, and you're confused-"
"i'm not confused!" Lana began to sob. "I'm telling you Kit Walker is innocent. Oliver Thredson is Bloody Face. He admitted everything to he does to them."
Eva froze. Everything screamed in her head that Lana was wrong. 'He couldn't be. There is no way he could be. He looks too innocent, he's… he's my…. my colleague, he's a psychiatrist. No. No. I don't believe it. She has no evidence. The woman is delusional!'
"I believe you." Eva stared in shock at what the Sister had just said. 'How could she believe her? This is pure insanity!'
"You do?" Lana asked
"You do?" Eva echoed.
"Yes."
Eva just stood in shock, unable for once to say a word. Lana began to cry and smile and the Sister smiled back at her.
"Please Sister, he cannot know that I am here." She was beginning to beg.
"No, no one knows. No one knows that you are here. Now please just take these." Mary Eunice picked up the pills and a glass of water for her.
"You have to go to the police. All of the evidence is in his basement."
She nodded "I understand. I do."
Lana took the pills. "That's where he kills them. That's where he violated me."
"Well… you're safe now." She smiled.
Sister Mary Eunice headed for the door and Eva followed her out.
"Sister, you surely cannot-"
"How is she?" Frank asked, interrupting Eva.
"She's still very confused I'm afraid. She claims that Dr Thredson attacked claims well… she insists that Kit Walker is innocent." The Sister explained.
"Well state police got a different opinion. Kit Walker escaped custody. He's a fugitive. Order on him is shoot on sight."
"My Gracious."
"Sister a word please." Eva said interrupting them both.
"I'll discuss this with you later Frank." She said dismissively.
They watched him walk away and Eva made sure they were out of earshot.
"Sister you surely don't believe what Miss Winters said?"
"I don't believe what she said. But it is evident she needs help. I want you to talk to her. Make light of the situation." She said and headed off out of the corridor.
"Sister wait, what about Oliver?"
"You mean Dr Thredson?"
"Yes. Should we inform him of the situation? She was his patient."
"You were quite friendly with him, weren't you?"
"A mutual professional friendship is all."
Sister Mary Eunice winked at her "Yes I'll bet. You focus on Lana, I will deal with Dr Thredson."
Eva watched her walk away, confused at her wink. She knew there was nothing between her and Oliver. Just a professional friendship. She wouldn't deny he was good-looking and she would not decline if the opportunity arose. But her first priority is to find out about what happened to Lana, and to see if Oliver is the man she thought he was, or hiding a bloody secret.
A.N: I know not much happens in this chapter but i needed to break it up otherwise it would have been way too long. Anyway hope you enjoyed. Please review
