Ok! Sorry but this chapter is pretty short…well to me it is. But I thought it would be pretty funny/cool to show how Anna escapes from the hospital…don't you? Well, anyway please remember that I don't like hospitals at all and I haven't been in one in years, so if get some of the info wrong, please forgive me. Well, there's one thing left to say: Enjoy!

Chapter 5:

"Escape from White Room"

It had nearly been a week since I had last seen Yoh. I couldn't help but worry about him, was he really going to be alright?

I sighed and leaned my head against the soft pillow. Yes, I was in the hospital again. It was an attack that was early in the morning…which meant it was going to be harder to escape….but I'll manage.

I got up and starting looking for my clothes. Once I found them, I changed. I decided to wait on putting on my bandana…it might be too noticeable.

Since it was early, I predicted that the workers were still sleepy so maybe it wouldn't be as hard as I thought. Instead of climbing out the window, I decided to pretend I was going to the bathroom.

Since it was an early morning attack I put on whatever was closest to me; my black dress. I slipped the hospital gown over my black dress; it was a good thing that my skirt wasn't that long…

I had been prepared for this for a long time. I knew that I'd probably get punished somehow for this but ………from my pillow I pulled out a sign that read "Out of Order."

I hide the sign under my gown as I carefully walked out. I've been sneaking around for as long as I could remember so I acted carefully. Everyone on the second floor new me (except for a few new patients) so I couldn't even pretend to be someone else.

Right now, at this point, it wouldn't matter or not if I got caught, as long as it wasn't one of the doctors who caught me.

"Oh? Is that you Anna-chan?" an old man asked.

"Ohayo Nenji-san," I greeted him good morning. Nenji was an old man who had been in the hospital as almost as long as I had been there. He never tried to sneak-out or anything since had been there so long so the doctors had given him freedom to move around as long as he brought his "beeper" (that's what he calls his little device that calls the nurses when he's having an attack) along with him.

"What are you doing up so early?"

"I could ask the same," I said nicely.

"Well, I was just looking for the restroom…"

"Me too, but this restroom's out of order…" I lied, "…you should go back and ask your nurse to help you get down to the first floor to use that bathroom."

"Oh, why thank you for warning me Anna-chan!"

"No problem Nenji-san."

With that he slowly walked away with his walker and I quickly went to the restroom and put the sign on it……now the hard part……I was debating on whether to use the elevator or the stairs to get to the lobby. If I used the elevator I had to make sure no one was on it or no one got on it……I guess it's stairs for me…

I snuck my way to the stairs. I hide behind wall or tables whenever it was needed and I actually started to get panicked that I won't make it, but I did……eventually.

Once to the stairs I quickly took off my hospital gown. I got the back of my hair and tied it in a messy bun, using my bracelet as a hair-tie. I left some hair in the front down to cover my face. I got my bandana and wrapped it around me like a sash.

I looked around and tried to think of a place where I could put my hospital gown. If I left it on the second-story stairs it would be obvious that I was the one who left it. I decide I would leave it on the first floor when I got to it.

I hurried down the stairs to the first floor; I was half way to the lobby. I really hoped I wasn't that noticeable. Come to think of it…I don't think that I am. I mean half of my hair was in my face while the other half was in a messy bun. Also my bandana was now used around my waist instead of on my head.

I stopped at the first floor. I opened the door that separated the staircase and the rooms. I cracked the door open an inch and peeked through to see if anyone was in the halls, or anyone that I recognized. When I saw that it was clear, I quickly put the hospital gown on the doorknob and returned to the stairs. I didn't know what the doctors and nurses would think when they saw that but I didn't care, as long as I could get out.

Now I totally forgot about the front desk. How was I going to explain why I was leaving? Then I remembered that you may have one visitor stay with you throughout the whole night if it was a special case.

I walked out of the staircase and casually walked toward the door. I made sure that my face my covered by my hair and out on a fake smile.

"Oh? Uh, miss?" A man at the front desk asked.

"Yes?" I turned as I made sure I lightened my voice; I hadn't seen this man at the desk before.

"Were you visiting someone?"

"Yes."

"May I get the name of whom you were staying with?"

"Yes," I made sure to smile a sweet smile, "My grandfather Kashiwazaki Nenji. I'm from out of town so when I came all the way here to visit him they said it would be okay to stay with him the whole night."

I knew that someday I'll be punished for this big lie I just said, but as long as I could get out right now, I'll deal with it later.

"And your name is?"

I stopped and smiled a sweet smile to make up time I was thinking of a name, "Annabelle Hino," my mother's name and Mrs. Hino's last name.

"Well, then Miss Annabelle, have a safe trip home," He smile and I couldn't help but think, 'Maybe he just asked to know my name? Maybe he's not even going to check?'

"Thank you, but I'm not going home yet, you may even see me again sometime!" I put on a sweet smile.

"Alright then, come back soon and visit your poor grandfather!" The man smiled as I walked out the door.

"Okay! I will!" I was glad that I got out if there without getting caught during the day. I hardly ever have to escape during the day. I usually had the hardcore attacks during the night and not the morning. 'I wonder why I got it in the morning instead at night?'

I shrugged it off, it didn't matter…its not like I had a schedule or something for my attacks. I just hope I never have to escape during the day like that again…it was too risky. There was a big possibility that I could get in trouble the next time I go into the hospital for lying……that is if I get caught.

Escaping the hospital was never too hard…when I escaped at night. Everything is easier at night because it was dark and everyone was tired; not to mention I was very good at sneaking around. But during the day the light shines in and makes everything noticeable because of the pure whiteness of the walls.

"Whatever, it's over," I said as I sighed, "Time to head for the cemetery and then the docks……Maybe I'll see him there…"

Well, I really hope you enjoyed that! I just thought that you might to know about her escaping……and actually this was pretty hard to write since I haven't been in a hospital for years! I hope I didn't get too much info wrong! Oh, and the next chapter takes place right after this! So Until Next Time
