Chapter 7: Midnight Chats
APOV
When I woke up, I saw that that Bells and Star were still asleep. I sat up and looked around the room and saw Mitch sitting in the corner looking at us, but our other doctor wasn't in the room. I got off the bed as quietly as I could, so I wouldn't wake Bella and Star. I went over to Mitch and asked, "Why aren't you asleep?" He answered with, "I could ask you the same thing." After he said that Bella woke up and looked around for me. When she couldn't find me she whispered, "Ali?" "Over here," I answered. She got off the bed gently, so she wouldn't wake up Star, after she got off the bed she stumbled over to where we were. She almost fell on when she got to us, but Mitch's hand shot out at an inhuman speed to steady her before she fell. We both stared at him and he just stared right back. After a few seconds I tried to reach out to Bella through our mind link, 'Bella, can you hear me?' I thought to her. 'Ali?' She thought back. 'Yeah, you saw how fast his hand moved too, right?' I thought. 'Yeah, should we ask him about it?' She asked. 'Yeah, he is definitely not human, I mean look at his eyes.' With that we cut off our mind link. After we cut off our mind link and looked up at Mitch from our spots on the floor, he was staring at us. We just looked at each other and looked at Mitch and asked, "What?" at the same time. He just shook his shook his head and said, "I know you want to ask me something, so just ask me already." I looked at Bella and said, "Do you want to ask him or should I?" She just pointed to me. "Okay, Mitch, we want to ask what you are because you are obviously not human." He just looked at us and said, "How did you know?" This time Bella answered, "One thing is your eyes, they're red, when you show your teeth sometimes, they look scary and inhuman, your skin is paler than ours and that shouldn't even be possible, and your speed just now when you caught me." He looked stunned for a few minutes until me and Bella started snapping in his face. I guess we were a little too loud because while we were doing that Star had woken up and come over to us. "What are you guys doing over here?" She whispered her voice thick with sleep. Bella and I jumped about a foot in the air at the sudden noise. Star saw this and whispered, "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, but why are you over here with the doctor instead of asleep?" 'She seems more talkative when she's sleepy doesn't she Bells?' I thought. 'Yes, I am more talkative when I'm sleepy because I don't like going to sleep.' Star thought back to my question to Bella. 'How did you hear us?' Bella thought. "I thought you guys knew that I could hear you?" Star said out loud. That's when Mitch decided to speak up, "What do you mean by you can hear each other? None of you were talking until Star said something." 'Should we tell him?' Bella and I thought to Star. 'Wow…. Even in your minds you talk at the same time and I think we should tell him but no one else; I think he's the only one in this asylum that doesn't think we're crazy….well him and our other doctor.' She answered. "Who should tell him?" Bella asked. "I will," I said. "Okay, we'll tell you on one condition." Bella said. We all looked at her, confused. "What's the condition?" Mitch asked with nervousness. "If we tell you, you have to answer all of our questions truthfully; no lying and we'll know if you're lying." Mitch looked torn between taking the deal and just leaving it alone. Finally, he said, "Okay, I will tell you the truth after you tell me what you're hiding." I tried to explain, but I had been up for about an hour and I could barely stand, let alone keep my eyes open. So, instead of explaining me and Bella swayed at the same time and both of us fell into his arms already asleep.
