Sorry but chapters will be short on account of the fact that I'm using my school computers, have only an hour, and am a really slow at typing.

Evangelina Torrez, the newest addition to Arkham Asylum, has been sitting in a room with four dangerous psychopaths and a doctor who has just told her she committed a crime she doesn't even remember for about… ten minutes. Those ten minutes were definitely not enough time for everything to sink in. Evidently, Dr. Leland thought they were, so she decided to continue with group therapy.

"Evangelina, we were discussing Jervis', or as you may know him the Mad Hatter's obsession with Alice in Wonderland," she waved her hand towards the blonde man with the top hat. Now that she thought about it, she had seen the man in paper. Apparently, he had kidnapped his secretary using mind control and has done a lot of other things since then. In person he didn't seem crazy, but then again who ever does? It was hard to believe though, that the man fiddling with his hat like it was a security blanket could possibly harm anyone.

"B-begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop," the Mad hatter spoke softly. What had he just said? It sounded familiar but what was it? The red haired man next to him offered an explanation.

"Start with his childhood and go from there."

The Mad Hatter nodded looking towards the doctor. She calmly told him that he didn't need to speak in quotes, that he was among friends. He seemed to settle at that, putting the top hat back on his head, he started to talk.

"The works of Lewis Carroll have always been a comfort for me, where others saw a strange land, I saw an ideal world. A world where logic was as unpredictable as the weather and only those with the ability to recognize it survived."

He was so calm when he said all that, as if talking about what he loved kept from going off. Such passion for something was a rare sight, one that Evangelina appreciated. Dr. Leland seemed to be aware of this passion, and was able to use it so she could truly understand him.

"But, how does this pertain to how you grew up? Were you maybe drawn to wonderland because it was the furthest thing from the reality you lived with?"

He looked almost scared when she said that, his hands immediately went to his hand, and he recited what seemed to be another Alice in wonderland quote.

"S-speak English! I don't know the meaning of half the words you're saying, a-and I don't believe you do either!"

The doctor sighed, "Maybe we can try next time, for now I think you should all go back to your cells."

Five guards then came into the room, each taking one of the inmates. Evangelina recognized the tallest man as one of the people the "escorted" her to the room. She stood up, glaring at the man. He took a step toward her ready to take her to her cell, but Dr, Leland waved him off.

"It's alright Gary I need to talk to her a bit more.

Evangelina snickered and gave him a little wave, "See ya, Gary"

Then she turned to the doctor with an unreadable look on her face.

"Tell me everything; I want to understand how this happened."

"You suffered from a psychotic breakdown. We suspect they've been happening for years, you just don't remember them. What made this one different is that you… actually harmed someone."

She didn't' go on that was a bad sign.

"Who did… I mean how much did I… hurt them"

Dr. Leland looked at her sadly. It was obvious Evangelina honestly didn't remember or even wanted to do what she did. She needed help, and Dr. Joan Leland would be the one to treat her.

But, at the moment, she needed to know what she did.

"You killed one of your coworkers, a Mrs. Bella Martin."
