Author's Note: Alright, so this is the first chapter and where the movie starts. Yes, I did this quickly… But this is because I've had this planned out a bit a long time ago. Beware: I am pretty detailed about their movements and such… Anyway, enjoy!
Only a mere two months had past since that night, and I began to learn that I should be concentrating less in the brothel and more in the institute. I didn't know how Gorski was able to figure out how to squeeze in those precious fourteen hours of such normalcy and be able to still survive so well in the dream world, but she obviously had her methods down before I did. At last, though, I had gained the mentality to, and could slide through much easier in both places without being too stressed out about either one. I was now more confident in the way I went about my business, and took relish in the fact that, at least, I was one of the top staff in reality. So Blue could hurt me, as well as any other person. He was still just that: a person… And now I could face it. I really could feel that, within me, I had become stronger than him now. And, now, there was no cloud of doubt about it. He could sense that boldness in me. And he shrank away a little whenever I came around the corner in the hallways… There was no way he could stop me now.
It was a March afternoon, and rain was absolutely pouring outside when a Miss Meredith Mary Reeas arrived into the Lennox House, though many people know her best as her nickname, 'Babydoll', the only one that I didn't nickname. That held significance in my mind, especially since it's the added fact that Blue was the one who did… Born on the famous winter holiday that's placed upon December twenty-fifth; Christmas, she is now eighteen years old. Standing at an ever-petite five feet and two inches, her skin is a milky pale white, the most amazing platinum blonde hair I have ever seen in my life set in almost girlish pigtails, and these oddly icy light green eyes that could be mistaken for blue at a distance and brown upon close inspection. There had always been something about her from the very beginning that set things off for whatever reason. She just felt different in an off-standing way that put things out of balance with everybody. Whether it was for the good or bad simply depended on the person.
She looked quite shaken up as she strolled into the theater, Blue and, it seemed, her father together, talking business-like matters. That immediately put me on edge… I was sitting next to Gorski at the desk, though my eyes were set on the strangers while my comrade was on the stage with Sweet Pea, speaking to her in quiet, calm whispers about the day's treatment, though it was mostly just protocol and such, nothing more. Sweet Pea was certainly used to hearing about it, and even glanced away from the conversation when she heard those thick doors swing, catching sight of the female just like the doctor before the older lady put her back in her place with a light scold.
I simply sat there as a fight broke out between two patients, though I did note how Blondie and Rocket, whom were sitting at the group's usual spot, didn't mind going on their knees in their seats and egging on the continuation, laughing a bit. They seemed so care-free at the moment, while I felt distant… When CJ and another orderly managed to stop and separate the guilty parties from each other, I saw that a third one brought in Amber, no doubt back from the bathroom. She had to be watched now because she had learned to use her intellect to try and escape a few times in the past month alone. Her eyes loomed over to Blondie, giving a small smile and greeting before peering curiously at the newcomer. Rocket looked a bit eager to introduce herself while Blondie simply held a look of nonchalant arrogance, not wanting to know the person.
The day had been quite dull on routine, and I could feel the tension when the patients of Group A-3 found that Babydoll had been sorted with them. I wondered why Blue would convince Gorski into making one of the other patients to move to A-4 and place Babydoll in her place, though that girl looked quite excited that it happened. There was already something up and in the making… Even when the patients lined up to eat in the cafeteria for dinner, Babydoll couldn't help but peer into Blue's office as the group waited to be let in, and an orderly had to tap on the shoulder a few times to make her move onward. That earned a slightly irritated glance from Blondie.
But things would be even stranger as the lights went off that night, and Babydoll's mind was taken into the dream world the very first time, and her first day's scenes were replayed in the different lighting of the brothel's environment.
Author's Note: And now, for the bulk of the story, we're set into the brothel. The next part will be uploaded pretty soon; within today. I promise that completely. Reviews are loved!
