Thread: Can you hear them? |Lagertha x Kosmik_Khoas|

If only the injections and medications worked to drown out the things she saw, she heard, maybe then Mixie could get out of this place once and for all. Things never worked like that. The injection had calmed every muscle in her body, and since Mixie was no real harm to herself or the staff, she had not been strapped to the bed. The four corners of the room consisted of nothing but the bed she laid on, with the eleven foot ceilings and the black cameras way out of reach. The bed was also fused to the concrete ground, making sure there was no way it could be moved to harm any of the staff or patients. For a while, Mixie just laid there, ignoring the world, everything around her, but she was never alone. The pounding on the door from across the hall was apparent. Though the other girls cries were muffled by not only the two metal doors and the injection Mixie had been given, but also by the things that surrounded her. She could tell the girl was upset, but her cries were something Mixie had gotten used to after living here for so long..and the constant beasts in the corner of her eyes moving around the room. They are going to feed you that poison again. Eyeless, nose-less, nothing but a lip-less creature that forever had it's sharp clutched teeth barred to her spoke. The beast was dark, it's long clawed fingers snapping together in boredom. The beast sat in the corner, grey skin, slimy, in a similar dress to Mixie herself, watching her, and talking to her. Mixie was not scared anymore. Some of the creatures she had seen used to scare her, but none of them had really hurt her, and the ones that did hurt her did not seem to come around often. I know.. Mixie sighed, no doubt the nurses and psychiatrist was watching her taking notes of her talking to herself. Her golden eyes floated around the ceiling, but Mixie laid in the bed like she had been placed only a few moments ago. The creature moved, crawling on the ground, grabbing her arms as it pushed itself up into a standing position. It hunched over Mixie, drool coming from it's disgusting mouth as it twisted it's head left and right speaking to her. There was no ears on the creature, just holes where ears should have gone. It will kill you. The creature snarled, skin bunching together around it's teeth. Mixie looked at the creature as the drool fell onto her gown. She wondered at times like this if she would ever be able to fully fake that she could not see these things, that they did not talk to her. Great! Maybe I'll finally be free of crap like you and can rest in peace... Mixie sighed again, rolling her eyes. She could hear the echoing of feet outside her door, chattering that was muffled by the door. No doubt the nurses were coming with the tube, she could hear the metal cart creaking. Medicine, food, probably another injection if she fought the tube like she had last time. She never understood why she bothered putting up a fight anymore. Her parents were afraid of her, her siblings and everyone at her school had thought she had ran away from home. No doubt after a year of Mixie being 'missing', they had come to the conclusion she was probably dead. She could imagine her parents going with that lie, producing a fake funeral for her extended family and siblings to make it seem like they were moving on. Her parents still paid for her stay here, and no doubt they most likely would for the rest of their lives and her own. What better way to keep your child away from you if you thought them insane? The creature laughed at Mixie's words, and her golden hues looked back up at the beast. The cart stopped moving, outside her door, and Mixie could feel that there was more than two of the nurses. Probably because of the other girl across the hall making a commotion. If Mixie was not drugged she probably pretend to care, and try to calm the girl across the hall before the girl got the same injection. However, Mixie did not really care. She had seen girls her age, younger than her, come and go, and some them had been taken to jail, others moved to the adult wing. The only two girls Mixie had known since she had been here was Sara and Cici. Cici had been here since the age of eight, and Sara had been and out of here three times since Mixie was here. Mixie? Did they take you in too? Mixie's eyes looked at the creature above her, but it was not the beast speaking this time. Mixie's eyes lazily looked around the room, finding the vent on the ground that barred shut. Nails keps the vent on, but a metal cage surrounded the vent, nailed down as well to ensure no one would be dumb enough to try to open it. Then again, Mixie had known a girl that had done that once, broken all her finger nails to get into the vent, but for what? So she could be admitted to the adult ward? Aye. Mixie said, staring at the vent. She could hear the vague commotion outside, no doubt nurses were going into the other room first to deal with the girl across the hall. What'd you do this time Ling? Mixie did not seem amused or surprised at all. Ling had only been here for a year, but the nurses always seemed to have every excuse in the book to throw Ling into one of these rooms. I was just biting my nails off..one of the doctors found me. Said it was a 'form of self mutilation'..so they locked me in here..It's just an anxiety thing. Ling's voice was clear at least, no doubt the vents were connected to the two rooms. Mixie couldn't help but bust out laughing. Often she would bite her own fingernails, when talking to the psychiatrist, or the nurses and she had never been locked in one of these rooms for that. They really fucking hate you.. Mixie laughed. That isn't funny Mixie! Why did they pull you in the room? Ling huffed, the beast hovering over Mixie had moved to her metal door peering out of the little window. It is kinda funny Ling..I think nurse Heather hates you..Didn't you sleep with her husband before coming in here?..Um..What do they normally put me in here for? Besides being crazy. Mixie flexed her fingers, she knew she could sit up, but she could hear the commotion outside. One of the nurses was getting closer to her door. Um, it was her boyfriend, and it isn't my fault he likes Asians. Ling replied laughing. Besides my parents and his parents said it was fine. Ling had a habit of sleeping with guys she barely knew, and Mixie knew she was lying about her parents consent. After all Ling was under age, and the nurses boyfriend had been older. You didn't eat again? Mixie sighed. Figured, you never eat unless they shove it down your throat. Ling laughed again. Stop reminding me why I want to strangle you every time I see your face Ling.. Mixie rolled her eyes. She really did not like Ling, the girl had a habit of picking on other girls. Mixie had often gotten into fights with her over nothing more than Ling giving her a dirty look. Hey! Did anyone say you two could communicate? Mixie looked at the white wall int he direction of Ling's room. Her door had opened, a nurse talking on the other side. Come here Ling, it's time for your medicine! Mixie listened, the beast cackling a laugh at the commotion and Mixie pushed herself to sit up as someone knocked on her door. Mixie? It's nurse Rose. Is it okay if I come inside now? Nurse Rose, Mixie was thankful she got her. Most of the other nurses were never too nice about handling her if she had not ate. Often Mixie would wind up with several bruises, people holding her down and treating her like an animal when she rarely fought with the staff. Yeah. Mixie said softly. Don't let her inside! She's going to feed you poison! POISON! The beast clawed at the door, and Mixie just looked at it as the bolts were unlocked. The door swung open, the beast disappating into dark smoke as it collided with it. In the open door stood the tall blond, blue eyed, Rose, tanned skin, manicured nails, way too much makeup for being fifty. Hey there sweet Mixie! Rose smiled, red lipstick, a small plastic cup in her hand, the other hand held a plate of food. Rose was from Texas, the southern draw was thick in her voice, but Mixie did not mind. She watched as she came inside, a few of the nurses behind in the hallway as she moved to Mixie's bed and sat down. Now Mixie, we going to try to do this the easy way, ok? I brought your plate of food, and your medicine. You eat some and take your meds, and we don't have a problem, ok? Won't it be fun if we get along? Mixie rolled her eyes. If it was anyone else Rose, I'd throw the pills at them and claw their face. Mixie rose a brow, sighing deeply as she grabbed the plastic cup. But, I'm already kinda drugged, so they'd probably win either way. Rose laughed a bit as Mixie put the cup to her lips, jerked her head back as she swallowed the pills. Rose pushed the plate into Mixie's lap, who ate some of the food on it. See Mixie, this isn't so hard, now is it? So why don't you just do this without us having to make you eat? Rose played the concerned tone, Mixie had been in here for along enough time to get close to some of the staff. Though how could she really explain that the smell of food lately made her feel sick? That there were still things screaming at her that the food was poison? Her golden eyes looked into the hallway, the nurses were done with the other rooms, now waiting on Rose to finish with Mixie. They weren't alone. Mixie could see the tall creature that reached up to the ceiling, hunched forward because it was taller than the ceilings. It's head leaned forward, the massive fists that dug into the ground as it walked around like a gorilla. Why could she only see them? Why didn't everyone else? I wasn't hungry.. Mixie said truthfully as she looked back at Rose, as the creature disappeared away from her view. Hunny..you are never hungry. You remember what I said last time? Mixie shook her head, she was always so drugged when she came to these rooms, but the drugs never made the creatures disappear. Even if you aren't hungry, you need to force yourself to eat something...or things are going to get ugly. Remember the last couple of times you wouldn't eat even when I broke you the food nicely? Mixie rolled her eyes and nodded. Yes Rose, my throat still feels like shit from a week ago. I remember fully well what happens when I forget to eat. Rose lifted a finger wagging it in front of Mixie's face. Sorry, I shouldn't curse. Rose was only one of the staff that hated cursing, and after Mixie ate some she gave Rose the plate back. Rose got up, bringing a plastic bottle of water in. The cap was off. Mixie took the bottle, drinking half of it, before giving it back to the nurse. Alright sweetie, you get some sleep now. I'll be sure to check on you in the morning, mkay? You should feel better with something in your belly. Rose said sweetly as she moved to close the door. And if I have to pee.. Rose closed the door all the way, starting to lock it. She looked through the window, pointing upwards to the cameras in the corner of the ceilings. Just say you need to! We can hear you on the cameras! Rose said pleasantly. Great! I'm a trained dog! Mixie waved, before falling back into her bed. One thing she hated about these rooms, the lights never went off even at night. How the hell was anyone suppose to sleep? At least Mixie could stare at the ceiling again in piece now that they were leaving, and the creature that had been bothering her all day had vanished at least..for now.
