Innocents

Full Summary: Meet tomboy Feliciano Vargas, the one whom was sentenced to Bentalia's prison for a crime that was pinned on him. Meet Ludwig Beilschmidt, a violent German who's view on the Italian isn't so friendly at first. The problem: Feliciano is a cross-dresser in a prison full of crazy rapists, pedophiles, and murderers, and her roommate, Ludwig, doesn't suspect that she's a girl, yet. The Solution: She has friends who got her back!

Notes: To be truthful, I didn't know that there was a Gerita prison fan fiction, and I read it recently. I give credit to 'Shades of Innocence''s Henrietta R. Hippo for some ideas, and I wanted to come up with my own version of that wonderful person's story! Well, watching COPS, 'how inside prisons work', and Gerita stories helped me.

This is rated M for a reason, there will be violence, humor, dark humor (slightly), and mentions of violent crimes. No smut, lemons, or whatever you call them.

Ages

Feliciana: nineteen

Ludwig: twenty

Begin:

Bentalia was a town that had a big population in the get-go, but it was later guarded by a large, scary, dark, forest filled with all sorts of carnivorous creatures. That was the reason why there were rarely any visitors. There was only one prison, and it held mostly men. Girls were rare in the prison, but they had access to their own showers and bathrooms. Feliciana Vargas, the usually hyper, happy, (yet violent in some cases) Italian was pinned for the wrong murder, and she was found guilty by a lame, lazy ass judge.

Lovina, her older sister, promised that if anything horrible happened to Feliciana, she'd send the Mafia on the prison or that person's ass. Feliciana, however, couldn't laugh nor smile right now, she felt like a nervous wreck. She got blamed for a murder, no one but her sister and some friends believed her, and she was going to a prison filled with all sorts of enemies. She hoped that she wouldn't get raped, or tortured. The guard, Vash Zwingli, felt a little sorry for her. He didn't know that she was a girl, but he knew whom the innocents were. The judge should be going to prison, not this innocent kid.

"Come on, if anybody dares to hurt you, I'll go trigger happy on their asses." He promised the shaking 'boy.'

"Ve. Grazie." She muttered.

"First, we'll take you to the nurse, and she'll help you out." Vash led the boy towards a hallway. In the hallway, there were prisoners everywhere, they stared at her in a way that made her stomach churn.

At the end of the hallway, was a white door with a cross symbol painted on it. "Nurse Elizabeta Edelstein", it read at the top.

Feliciana walked in and sat down. A happy, joyful nurse greeted her.

"Hello, sweetie! I'm the nurse, and if you have any trouble, come to me okay? Now, I have some questions for you."

"Ve, okay."

"Are you allergic to anything?"

"No."

"Diabetes? Any sickness, like HIV?"

"No."

"Blood type?"

"AB." Feliciana looked a little nervous.

"Alright. Anything you want to say?" Mrs. Edelstein looked at the Italian.

"Ve...I'm not a boy." She admitted. Hey, if someone won't find out now, they'll find out later. There were a couple of things that they were bound to notice (Mushu from Mulan, anybody?).

"Good heavens! And they put you here?!" Elizabeta's eyes widened.

"Si. I'm innocent, ve. They've pinned a murder on me." Her voice was silent.

"Oh. Well, what I can do for you is you to share the bathroom and shower room with two other girls that goes here. Also, I'll make sure Amelia and Arthur keep an eye on you." Mrs. Edelstein gave the girl a comforting hug. It seemed to work for she was smiling.

"Now, about your jumpsuit, I want to make it big to hide your...features. Also, when 'that' time of the month comes, come to me, okay?"

Feliciana liked Mrs. Edelstein. But, she didn't know what the month thing was... (it's a plot bunny for fluffiness later, so don't be surprised).

"Si!" For the first time since her trial, she was smiling a bit. "Hey, Amelia! Arthur! Come down here!" 'Lizzy' shouted.

A blond haired girl around Feli's age came skipping down with a tazer in her hand, and an English (you could tell he's English) man with fuzzy brows walked calmly down.

"What is is, dudette? You need help with the newbie?" Amelia leaned against the wall.

"You two, Vash, (because I trust him) and I will be the only people who will know about this, okay? No screaming or freaking out." Lizzy gave the trusted guards a 'look'. They both nodded.

"Feliciana Vargas is here, and she's a girl. I want you two to keep an eye on her, and keep her away from creepy ass rapists, okay?" Lizzy looked at the shocked guards.

"Bloody hell, they couldn't send her somewhere at least safe?" Arthur looked enraged. Amelia looked a little pissed.

"Yeah! This prison is dangerous! Who the hell sent her here?!"

Lizzy sighed. "Apparently, the judge did. He probably thought that she was a boy, and sent her here."

"Not possible." Arthur said. "He'd already figured it out during the trial. Who was killed?"

"V-ve, I found the b-body of Jones Kirkland in my house when I walked home, ve. I didn't know what happened, but th-they said that there was my fingerprints on t-the bat which k-killed him. I don't even own a bat, ve!" She tried to keep calm, she really did.

"Hey, it's okay. The heroine wouldn't let anybody hurt you." Amelia wrapped an arm around the shaking Italian.

Arthur looked hurt. "Somebody not only killed my brother, but they pinned it on an innocent woman, who now has to be in a blasted prison full of..." He let the sentence drop as his fists clench. He heard of his brother's death, but an innocent has been blamed for it? That bastard judge was messed up in the head!

Mrs. Edelstein looked neutral as she handed Feli her large jumpsuit. Boy was the Italian small, however, innocent she may be, she couldn't escape here. She was to be here for eighteen years.

"Go change in the bathroom, love." Arthur tried to cheer her up a little. Feli nodded and went.

"Listen, no prisoner can know about this. Not even our most trusted prisoners. She's an innocent girl, and only nineteen. A kid." Elizabeta looked at her guards. They nodded.

"Only you two, Vash, and I will know about it. I don't want the poor girl suffering from either abuse or..." She let the sentence hang. She didn't need to tell them what prisoners do to each other, they already knew.

…...

"Wow, life must hate you." Amelia said as she looked at Feliciana's cell number. Arthur glared at Amelia and took the paper. He looked at it and he winced.

"You of all people, why him?!" He nearly shouted and almost dropped the paper.

"Ve?!" Feli looked a little scared.

"Well, say your prayers, kid. You're going to get eaten alive." Amelia gave Feli a pity look.

"Amelia! Don't scare the poor boy!" Arthur said. It was easier to call her a boy, so that the secret can be more hidden.

"Well, Artie, he's being roomed with that crazy bastard! He'll shred him to pieces! You know how Luddy's like!"

"Amelia, if Ludwig puts any damage on Feli, we'll take the lad out and put him in a safer cell."

"What 'safer' cell? Almost all of them are creepy butt rapists! What if...you know! And they...find out!" Amelia threw her arms in the air. "Luddy may be violent, but he'll never, ever stoop so low to hurt a man like that. If he finds out...I don't know what he'll do."

"Amy," Arthur said. "He has trouble dealing with strangers, he won't touch him in a sexual manner. He might beat him." They were talking until they stopped to a cell. To say that Feli was scared, was an understatement.

"Hey! Luddy!" Amelia said a little nervously.

"Vhat is it? I told you to leave me ze hell alone!" A voice thundered.

Feli cringed as she hid behind Amelia.

"Stop being an ass, we got a new roommate for you! Isn't he adorable?" Amelia took Feli's hand and scooted her from behind Amelia's back.

"You got me a new roommate? After what had happened to the last one?! Are you zat verdammt retarded?!"

"Trust me, Ludwig, we already said our fair share of cussing. We didn't like this idea, neither." Arthur opened the cell, and Feliciana was pushed lightly into it. The door closed and the two guards walked off (yeah, way to go guys, feeding her to the wolf like that). Feliciana, scared, walked little by little by the beds.

"Vhat a dummkopf, You don't know which bed I sleep in, yet you edge nearer." Feliciana's eyes had gotten used to the darkness, and she'd seen a tall, muscular German man coming towards her. A little frightened, Feli stood her ground. Where was she going to run, anyway?

The German suddenly was hovering above her, giving her a cruel glare.

"Yet you hold your ground." He squat down, eyes meeting eyes. "Are you that ready to die?" Feli was horrified. He. Was. Right. There.

"ANSWER ME, DUMMKOPF!" His voice raised.

"No, not exactly, ve." She was not going to hyperventilate. She was NOT going to-

"Gut. Stay out of mein way, and I'll stay out of yours, Scheiße-kopf."

The huge German turned around and went back to his bed. Feli swore she felt his eyes glare at her.

"Why am I put up with a weakling?" She heard him mutter.

…...

When he first seen him, he was pissed. Was this a joke? Why would they send him in a roommate that looked so damn small? The boy's short shaggy hair didn't hide the fear in his eyes, and it annoyed him. After his first roommate damn near killed himself, they sent him a weaker boy. That little shit wouldn't last for a week, and Ludwig was sure of it. First of all, he looked like a fresh piece of meat to the sick bastards. Secondly, he looked too damn innocent, creepy ass rapists in this place would find him, shove him in a dark corner...Ludwig didn't want to think about it. He was on top of his bed, reading a book with the lamp on, the darkness was half gone, now. He felt the younger boy's small weight climb onto the bed below him.

So small, so easy to crush and get done with it. What did this kid do to get into prison? Kill a bunny? Pushed an old lady down? What the hell?

…...

Short, I know. Poor Feli, she can kick ass (only necessarily), but not a ridiculously tall German's ass. Oh well, I've been working on this, please tell me if it's too cheesy, it was a little fast.
