A/N: hello all I'm glad to know you are still reading and telling me what you think and feel! I'm just going to say that this chapter is short compared to the others but that is because it is strong enough to stand on its own also I am aware that my time line for events maybe off but I'm hoping despite its length you can still enjoy it!

Chapter 5.

The dark gray sky seemed to reflect the mood of the morning as Nellie stood at the docs tears streaming down her cheeks coming close to freezing to her skin but she couldn't have cared less about them as she screamed for Benjamin as he was forced into the waiting ship fighting against the guards just as hard as she was fighting against the officers keeping her from running to him. Tears clouded her visions again as she fought harder against the four officers holding her until the ship was away from the doc and they let her fall to her knees sobbing into her hands thinking this couldn't get any worse.

A warm hand touched her shoulder making her look up through tear ridden eyes hopping slightly to see her sister offering some form of comfort but what met her instead was a young man wearing all white. Her body after before her mind and she slapped the hand away as she got to her feet looking around to find two more men in white closing in on her and just behind them, acting as though she were crying, was Lucy on judge Turpin's arm. She looked around at the men closing in on her, head whipping around wildly like a caged animal. One of the men grabbed her arms and held them to her sides wincing as she screamed and stomped on his feet then kicked at his legs trying to get away but to no avail as a second man closed in on her a syringe in his hand.

"Hold her still, don't want to hurt her."

Her arms were held tighter and her head held in place by the third man forcing her to watch helplessly as the man with the syringe pressed the needle into her neck making her scream as a burning feeling washed over her from the tips of her toes to her brain. Blackness pulled at her vision as she lost all feeling in her limbs and slumped in the arms holding her, her legs unable to hold her weight were lifted off the ground and she was carried from the docs, before she gave into the darkness Nellie let her head lull to the side enough to see Lucy smirking openly beside the judge as she waved to her as her world went black.

Nellie's eyes fluttered open and she looked around wildly unable to recognize the room she was in but as she tried to get up she found her body immobilized.

"She's awake sir."

The voice came from some where Nellie couldn't see and was fallowed by foot steps until an older looking man with peppered brown hair and glasses came into her line of sight making panic rise in her chest as she tried to speak only to find herself unable to against the rubber object in her mouth. Her body began to tremble and tears stung her eyes.

"Hello miss Walker, my name is doctor Samuel Johnson, I understand you're confused and scared but you have nothing to fear my dear. You see you are here for treatment, yes treatment, we are going to rid that lovely head of yours of the affection for that criminal they took away to Australia."

Nellie made a muffled protest against the mouth guard between her teeth as tears fell down her cheeks making dr. Johnson shake his head with a soothing smile.

"Now now my dear there is no need to be afraid this will only hurt for a moment."

Suddenly something cold was placed to her temples making a shudder run over her and drew a whimper from her lips. Her whimper turned into a muffled blood curdling scream as every nerve in her body was lit on fire and burned white hot, she struggled against her restraints as her body convulsed and the pain filled her body from head to toe. As quickly as it has come the pain was gone leaving her panting with tears running down her cheeks like rivers as dr. Johnson's face came back into view his smile sickly sweet.

"Good girl, you've done well for your first to but I'm afraid your treatment is far from over."

The doctor's face left her vision once more and the cold metal was placed to her temples again and though she was expecting the pain it was no less painful. She screamed as loud as her mouth restraint would allow as her body convulsed and her eye squeezed shut, behind her closed lids her searing brain showed her the face of a young man, she knew it was Benjamin but the picture was blurring enough he became unrecognizable. The pain lasted longer this time burning through her relentlessly making her scream at the top of her lungs as her back arched and her nails dug into her palms making them bleed until the pain was gone. She didn't bother opening her eyes as voices spoke in muffled tones around her as though she had cotton in her ears.

"I think she's had enough for her first treatment, take her to an isolation cell."

Nellie opened her eyes long enough to see two men undo her restraints and one remove the mouth guard from her mouth allowing her to breath easier while her lip body was lifted from where it had been laying. Finally the darkness at the corners of her eyes won out but one sound left her horse throat before she gave in to the inky blackness.

"Benjamin..."
