A/N: I know this is short, but I wanted to get this done and posted before I forgot to do so.
Anyway, enjoy!
"I wonder if Leah's okay," Carley wondered watching T.V in her room.
"She's probably crying her eyes out somewhere," Ogre Child said.
"Why must you be so down about things?" Carley sighed.
"You should talk, Ms. Negative," Ogre Child remarked.
"I can't help it. You know why."
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Ogre Child said waving her hand.
Carley has Bardet Biedl Syndrome that affects different parts of a person's body, but mostly, their ability to see. Some people who have this, also have a few traits of Autism that are a mixture of being noticeable and unnoticeable depending on the severity. Because of what she has, she was picked on in school and was in multiple fights with others. She was diagnosed when she was 15 and was forced to go to a secondary school for people who have other sight problems, causing Carley's esteem to drop, and her anger and anxiety to rise.
Her family sent her here for numerous reasons. One would be that it would help Carley gain some independence, help her learn different skills so she can cope with her anxiety, and to help her raise her self-esteem about herself. Her anger isn't as bad as it used to be whe she was a teenager, but her parents think the Institution can help her with that as well. Carley knows the other reason why she was sent here, but right now, she's just glad to be away from her family.
"Isn't their anything on that's decent?" Ogre Child wondered.
"I don't know. I'm looking," Carley said still flipping from channel to channel.
After finally finding a station that showed anime, Carley then heard something go by her room. At first, Carley ignored it, but after the sound went by her room again and again and again, within the first hour of hearing it, Carley got up from her bed and went to see what it was. She looked out her window and saw Leah riding by her room and then down the empty halls.
"What the heck?"
"Was that Leah I just saw?" Ogre Child asked.
"Uh... yeah," Carley said seeing Leah pass by again on a dark blue and black bike.
"What on earth is she doing?"
"Riding around."
Ogre Child rolled her eyes. "Yes, I know that, Genius. I meant why is she riding around on her bike like that?"
"I don't know."
"She seems to be peddling pretty fast."
Carley watches Leah peddling and her turning the corners at a swift pace.
"Yeah, you're right. I wonder why?" Carley asked.
"I don't know," Ogre Child said with a shrug.
Carley was able to see the bandages wrapped around Leah's head with a few on her nose and cheek when she rode down the hall again. Leah also had a few bruises on her face, arms, and legs from Snow White and the others beating the young dark haired female up.
Carley was thinking of going out and talking to Leah, but didn't, knowing Ogre Child would try and stop her for multiple reasons. Carley would still go, well, to an extent, anyway, and the other reason was seeing Fiona walk up to Leah. Carley watched Leah stop riding her bike and walk towards Fiona with a smile on her face.
"Hi, Fiona," Leah happily said.
"Hey, Leah. Are you feeling okay?" Fiona asked.
Leah nodded. "My face hurts a bit, but I'm okay."
"Even though you wanted to fight them, you did the right thing for not fighting back," Fiona said putting a hand on Leah's hair that's out of its ponytail.
"They're not worth it," Leah said that made Fiona smile and nod.
"Yes. They are indeed not worth a fight."
"Just like when Luffy and Zoro didn't fight those guys at the bar in One Piece," Leah replied that made Fiona lightly laugh.
"Yeah. That, too," Fiona agreed, "I see the anime you're looking at is helping you understand things, huh?"
"Yep!" The smile still remained on Leah's face as Leah hugged Fiona. The ogress hugged her patient back and ran a hand through Leah's hair.
Then, Leah asked Fiona, "Can I get some ice cream?"
Fiona lightly smiled. "Sure. You've had a pretty rough month and handled it well, so you deserve it. Come on."
"Can I take my bike?" Leah asked.
"Sure, but what about your mission helping the Himes?"
"My mission has been completed. I attacked the enemies with the golden bat of Justice, and ended the war," Leah said as Fiona smiled again, walking behind Leah who was riding her bike to the cafeteria.
"Well, that was weird," Ogre Child said hearing Carley sigh, "Why are you so down?"
"...Oh... It's nothing. Don't worry about it," Carley said to her alter ego, continuing to watch things on the television.
