[color=00746b]~Amanda[/color] The asylum was silent, everyone in their rooms (cells as some call it) were asleep peacefully as they were certain that one day they may be able to leave. All except one, who was basically there for years ever since she was a child. All because she was trying to protect her family from harm. She lost all track of time except a window in her bed room, and that only helped her know when to go to bed. She was certain that she would never leave until.... [b]*Screeeeee*[/b] The door opened and a nurse peeked inside. "Is, Amanda Remington Present?" A woman who was looking out the window that was mentioned before turned to the nurse and replied,[color=00746b]"Yes'mam, what it's it that you need?"[/color] The nurse said,"I needed to inform you that your needed at the front next ASAP." Amanda nodded and said,[color=00746b]"Understood."[/color],then walked to the first floor. Flashbacks begain to appear in her head as she walked. When Amanda was 10 her life went to hell in a teapot, and she wasnt prepared for it too. The town that she used to live in was the sight of all of the crimes known to man, she was a witness to all of it. Her family had to move away until further notice. Although, there was 'one problem.... Amanda was tramatized by the events and begain to have nightmares and halucinations that made her parents take her took a mental doctor. It was confirmed that, yes, she was mental, Scizophrenia really. She was told to take a certain kind of pill to calm it down, but it got worse...much worse... One night, she heared a bump in the night while she was going to sleep. Curious, she went to investigate. She saw a shadow in the living room with a lighter and a gasoline tank. Her mind thinking the man or woman was gonna light the house on fire, Amanda grabed a knife from the kitchen and attacked the shadow. Her parents then ran downstairs to find the young child covered in blood, the same blood on the knife she held. Amanda turned around and her parents' faces went from worry to shock and fright. She had a look on her face and gleam in her eye that could be seen in killers and insane people. [color=00a99d]"Mommy...Daddy...? What's wrong? Why are you so scared? Im still your child, you shouldn't be afraid of me! Hahaha!"[/color] Amanda said. In their eye, she was clearly driven to madness. They called the cops and they took her into the asylum, where she is now... The flashbacks ended when she made it to the front desk. The secretary was orginizing papers when she looked up at Amanda and said,"Ah! Ms. Remington, nice to see you up tonight." Amanda replied,[color=00746b]"Sure but, why am I here again..?"[/color] The secretary answered,"Oh, yes. The staff had been talking about you and we beleve that you should be free to go after all these years, its been a LONG while since you've had any fresh air anyways.." she chuckled at the last part. Amanda was shocked at the news,[color=00746b]"R-really?! Oh, thank you thank you thank you!"[/color] she said and ran to pack up. One of the patients of the asylum was watching her pack when they asked,"Hey Alice...?" Amanda rolled her eyes at that nickname, she had it ever since she talked about the imaginary world she had when she was 14. She never really knew why thay gave her that nickname. "What are you doing putting your stuff in that case..?" Amanda replied,[color=00746b]"Well, if you must know. Im finally leaving!"[/color] she clapped her hands in excitment, closed the suitcase, and ran to the entrance. (trying not to trip on her dress along the way) She slowed down and had her hand on the door. Lots of thoughts ran through her mind, but she shrugged it off and opened the door. Amanda's face was hit with a cool breeze as she walked outside to the gate. [color=00746b]"I had forgoten how nice it was outside...."[/color] Amanda said as she took in her suroundings. She then saw a grey rabbit near her. Thinking that she could keel it as a pet, she followed it and waited for a chance to grab it. She went deep into the forest, possibly getting more lost as she continued following the rabbit. It then dissapeared into the woods. Amanda looked around and spoted a well and what she thought was a grey blur (it was a rock). She walked to the well and searched around it, then looking in the well itself. She looked deeper, and deeper. Until she fell in. [color=00746b]"Woah!! AAAAAAAAH!"[/color] Amanda then closed her eyes before she was close to impact, suddenly, instead of a muddy surface Amanda felt a patch of grass that broke her fall...only for her head. The rest of her body was inpain from the fall. [color=00746b]"Ow....I think I broke my leg...and everything else..."[/color] Amanda sat up in pain, wondering who planted the soft grass. She then looked up and took notice of her suroundings. [color=00746b]"Woah...where am I...?"[/color] Amanda stood up (trying not to hurt herself in the process) and limped around to find her suitcase, or anything really. Then she saw a corpse of what she thought was a dinosaur. No, that was to normal. She then thought it was a dragon. Amanda searched the skeleton and found a knife. She picked it up and inspected it. [color=00746b]"It looks like a knife, but it's as big as a cleaver...perfect for a self-defense weapon."[/color] Amanda nodded and walked away (she got used to the pain),knife in hand,to find some sort of sign of life.
