Chapter 4
Wait…What?
I woke up. I was in a straitjacket and my memory was a little fuzzy. I tried to remember why I was in a straightjacket. The last thing I could remember was running away from as orphanage on Baker St. I shook my head like a wet cat.
"Hello, is anybody there? I'm cold and hungry and I want to go home!"
That was when I noticed someone standing at the door watching my every move. It was that creepy bird-man again! I didn't know what it was exactly, but I did know that it was creepy.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" I asked "I am the fury Tisiphone." She said I could tell that she spoke in that language again, but I had understood her perfectly
"You're Nico Di Angelo, right?"
"Υ-Yes" I stammered
"You received electric shock therapy and that addled your brain so you can only speak in Ancient Greek." She said with her voice devoid of emotion.
"What!" I screamed I probably sounded crazy but I didn't care "You're telling me that no one will be able to understand anything I say! Whoa, Wait if I'm speaking gin Greek than how can you understand me." I shot at her.
"I speak Greek" She stated plainly
Oh yeah I guess that should have been obvious I thought my thoughts were interrupted by Tisiphone. She was saying "Lord Hades sent us three furies to watch over you and your sister and when the time was ripe to send you to the Lotus Casino and Hotel."
"What's a fury?" I asked stupidly
"Well" she said "A fury is, well it's um…, it's kind of hard to explain. But, I can tell you that you'll know when you're older.
Then I remembered something else that she said and asked "Who's lord Hades?"
She responded with the same response "You'll find out when you're older."
"So what are you doing here?" I asked with a hint of desperation in my voice.
She responded by saying "I'm keeping an eye on you so you don't get into any trouble; it's what we do to mental people."
"For the last time I'm not mental!" I cried incessantly
"Sure, whatever you say, you're not mental you're just…" she paused trying to come up with the right euphemism "Confused, a poor lost confused soul." She trailed off, looking up at the ceiling with a far off look in her glassy eyes. I thought that maybe she should be in a mental hospital instead of me.
"I have another question; can I go to the bathroom?" I asked
"No." she said firmly
"Than, can I see my sister?" I asked
"Yes, yes you can." She said while opening the door and calling (In a sickening sweet voice) "Bianca dear you can see your brother now."
"NICO!" Bianca screamed as she ran through the door and engulfed me in a smothering hug.
"BIANCA!" I screamed. I tried to hug her but I couldn't.
"I was so worried!" Bianca said as she suffocated me
"Um…Mumph" I whined squirming "I can't breathe." I managed to choked out
She stopped hugging me immediately, "What did you just say?' She said
I said repeating myself "I can't breathe."
"She doesn't speak Greek Nico." Said Tisiphone.
"Oh no! Bianca can't understand me! It's the end of the world (For me anyway)" I said "I want to go home where things are normal." I cried
"You said you didn't have a home did you not." Said Tisiphone.
"Well no I don't….. and Wait! I don't remember telling you that I don't have a home, do I have a home… I can't remember?" I racked my brain trying to recall.
"What did he say?" Bianca asked frantically
To which Tisiphone replied "He's trying to remember if he had a home, dearie. How did she know what I was thinking?
"Ok" Bianca said unsteadily "can he understand me?" asked Bianca warily
"Yes, Nico can understand you he just can't speak to you in any language other than Ancient Greek." Replied tisiphone.
"That's awful!" Bianca cried incessantly
I jumped up and down. "I really have to go to the bathroom!"
Right about than Albert walked in.
"That's a very serious problem how do you propose we fix it."
"I say that you take this stupid jacket off me and, how do you understand me? Do you speak Greek too? I said quickly(looking at him with my big puppy dog eyes that I didn't have)
"Yes, I speak Greek." Albert said calmly
"Yay! Now you can translate for me! Can I go to the bathroom now" I said pleading with Albert
"No." he said "You must wait"
"Wait for what!?" I said imploringly "I really have to go."
"We're waiting for you to gain your sensibility back. He groaned
"For the last time, I'm not mental, did I already mention that." I proclaimed indignantly
"We have a lot of work to do" Albert said
"Can I please go to the bathroom now. PLEEEEEEEEASE!"
"For the last time the answer is NO!"
I started bawling.I mean who wouldn't, I was only a ten-year old boy and I've been through so much! Now I can't even go to the bathroom. What is this world coming to. My eyes were blood-shot and there were tears streaming down my face. Instead of there usual olive colour they were now red and blotchy. The tears ran down off my cheeks and onto the cold, dark, dank, depressing floor. It was probably used to getting cried on. I couldn't even ask Bianca what I should do. What was life coming to!? Now I would never know what to do when I didn't know what to do.
"Please!" I said still sobbing even though I knew it was fruitless. They would not budge.
"Alright! You can go to the bathroom!" Tisiphone finally said
"Ok but how am I supposed to go with a straight jacket on?"
"That's for you to figure out." said Tisiphone
"Fine I'll take it off you." Said Albert "You know what that means?"
"YES IT MEANS I'M FREEEEE!" I sang 1
"NO." he said shrewdly "It means that you get to go to the bathroom, but I must put it back on you when your done.
"AW, what if I run away?" I asked
"Then we will find you and punish you severely." he said grimly
So I went to the bathroom.(A/N For those who were wondering I'm not going to go into detail)
A few minutes later...
"I'm back!" I had stopped crying while I was in the bathroom. "Your bathroom sucks it's dirty and it smelled bad."
"That's nice deary." said Tisiphone.
"You're visiting hours are over go away Bianca." said Albert as he pulled Bianca out the door.
"No Bianca, don't go! Don't leave me here alone with these creeps. They're Bird-Ladies!"
Bianca had no idea of what I was saying so she let herself get pulled out the door by Albert.
Now I was all alone with only the bird-ladies who looked like men. It seemed like there was one of them missing.
I knew it was a stupid question but I asked it any way "Aren't there supposed to be three of you?" I asked.
"No-um... I mean where would you get that idea." Tisiphone stuttered
"You know three bird-ladies, ladies that look like birds." Nico said "Wait...I know the official term for you it's...it's... a fury!" I said triumphantly.
"NO!" she said again "Where would you ever get an idea like that." she repeated.
"You" I said "You said that you were the fury Tisiphone."
"I never said such things." she said smugly
"Yes you did." I insisted
"Your just imaging thing." she said
"Hmmph! You did too." I said
The fury obviously realized that there was no point in arguing with me. I was right and she knew it
"Anyway, we must escort you to your room." Tisiphone said cheerily
"My room?" I asked uneasily
"Yes your room!" Now follow me."
"Ok" I followed her
"You have a roommate. Her name is Malory and she has neuroglucomitis.
"I have a roommate?"
"Yes"
She led me back down the hallway. If I was going to be locked up with some girl than I'd better get to like her. I hoped against hope that she'd be like Bianca, not that I'd want Bianca trapped in a place like this. But, I'd rather be with her than some random girl I've never met before. Tisiphone opened the door to reveal a heavily padded room and a girl with a straight jacket. When the door opened the girl they called Malory shrieked. I wanted to cover my ears to block out the unearthly sound she was making, but I couldnt. (A/N if you didn't guess it was because Nico was in a straight jacket)
I winced and asked "What's her problem?"
She answered by saying "We don't really know we thing she has neuroglucomitis."
"What's that?" I said
"We don't really know what it is."
"I thought you were a psychiatrist."
"I am, I'm not a doctor."
"Oh so I have to live with her now." I asked
"Yes, and stay away from her she bites." she said I couldn't understand how she said that so calmly.
The girl, Malory, stared at me with her intense wild eyes. She was crazy I wasn't ! Did I really have to stay with her, I thought.
