So this is a short chapter too, but I hope you enjoy! I hope to have the next chapter up by Tuesday the 11th. Anyways, happy reading! Please R & R!

I saw the demon emerge from a pool of darkness from the reflection in the piano. For some reason, I couldn't stop playing to protect myself. The figure in black reappeared and pulled my away from the piano, but not from the room or nightmare. I couldn't see the figure still, but was grateful. I tried to leave the room, but the pool of darkness surrounded me, and started to rise. It had the feeling of blood, but was ebony black, like the small figure. I thought I was drowning in it as the demon laughed at me cruelly.

I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I saw Justin with Kid and Black Star by me. A woman walked by who had black hair and dark skin. Was I in the hospital? Wait; was there even a hospital in this place? It seemed as though I was petrified from my nightmare.

"Soul, what happened," Black Star asked.

"Could you give us a minute Black Star," asked Justin. Kid nodded and left with Black Star.

"Soul…"

I cut him off, "What's wrong with me, Justin,' I asked.

"Soul. If you're saying there's a demon inside your head, we need to perform an exorcism."

"What the fuck?"

He laughed. "I'm just kidding, Soul. Just trying to lighten things up for a minute. Anyways, on a more serious note, we believe you have schizophrenia. You say you hear a voice in your head and it influences your behavior. This isn't the best thing to be treated by medication. This is due to the likelihood of instability, chemically speaking. This is truly something you need to sort out, but there are people here to help you."

I looked out the window to see Kid & Black Star laughing about something. I didn't know what about, but it made me smile.

"Hey Soul." I looked back at Justin. "It's time for breakfast." Was I really out for that long? I wonder if Kid and Black Star visited before with the others. I decided I didn't really have time to waste, so I got up, and left the hospital sector.

I met Black Star and Kid at our table and we just ate in silence until the girls came. I didn't know if Black Star and Kid were bothered by my insane behavior yesterday. I know they had to hear it through the walls, since I hear them constantly shouting at each other. I don't think they would be that bothered, considering insane is the norm in a mental institution.

"Soul, you okay," asked Black Star as he ate some bacon.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired since I didn't get a lot of sleep."

"What happened last night," asked Liz. "We heard you screaming. It was pretty strange."

"We are in a mental institution, Liz. Strange is pretty normal around here, especially with us," said Kid cutting his pancakes into perfect pieces.

"Therapy is confidential. I don't know what any of you guys have," I lied.

I saw Maka look at me and grin; she knew I was lying. I was grateful for how much she helped me out, and only knowing her for a day. Kid looked at me and saw through my lies, about some people anyway.

"Come on, Soul," coaxed Liz and Black Star.

It reminded me of the demon so much, which is what I was trying to avoid. I saw Maka's eyes retreat since she felt sorry she couldn't say anything. She doesn't really talk a lot within the group. Thankfully, Tsubaki stepped for me.

"Guys; Soul shouldn't have to tell us what happened. He wouldn't be asking us what happened if we broke down. He might ask if we were okay, but not barrage for the details," Tsubaki said softly.

Kid nodded in agreement, since I had witnessed one of his incidents, but hadn't questioned his behavior at all. I grinned at the two of them, and then at Maka since I knew she would've said something.

I know I'm here to 'cure' myself, but I feel as though I'm supposed to help this group of people as well. I could aid Black Star in losing his fucking, ridiculous ego, help Kid with his OCD issues, and Tsubaki with her depression. But, I want to know what's wrong with Maka, and how can I help. Most of all, I want to fully understand what's wrong with me, and have Maka aid along the way.

There were just a few small problems. I don't know what could really be wrong with Maka, she barely talks to anyone, and there's a fucking demon still stuck in my head.

Ok, I hope you enojyed! Not too much to say.
