"Mommy...What happened to my sissy?" the six year old asked curiously, watching her mom with bright brown eyes. The mayor stopped in her tracks but the child didn't seem to notice. "You don't have a sister Gwenifer, you know that." the older woman answered calmly, avoiding the stare of her child. "But... You were gonna have two babies... I saw that... and you had two babies but you got rid of my sissy, why'd you do that?" Gwen continued. "Is she dead, momma? Is sissy dead?"
It had been four years since that conversation, when Gwen had admitted to her mom that sometimes she saw things when she had contact with people. She'd thought it was normal but her mother, a very powerful politician only saw the scandal that would unfold. Mr. and Mrs. Harlow decided that the best thing they could do to remedy the situation was send young Gwen away for some doctors to deal with. The future president couldn't have a schizophrenic daughter. The world was lead to believe that the child had died in a tragic car crash. Gwen wished that was true every day from the moment she first was brought to the institution.
The ten year old sat in her little corner of the cafeteria, her brown hair sticking up in all directions and her doe eyes dull. She was wearing next to nothing... An attempt at forcing her to deal with touching things. She looked around weakly at the other patients and sighed. Just coming from a recent extended drugged period her head was still swimming and her eyes had trouble focusing. She was going to try and be a good girl... No more freak outs from touching people. It probably wouldn't last very long but she was going to try just so she could avoid the needles.

Shani stepped into the cafeteria, his head down and his sharp eyes slowly moving around. Here he was, twelve years old, and a bipolar. He scoffed and walked further inside, he was on sedatives and other medications to keep him completely in line. It didn't seem to quell the want to destroy or kill anything though.
His eyes scanned aorund again and he saw Gwen sitting be her lonesome, his head cocked to the side. Shani got his food and scowled when he was only given a rubber spoon to eat with. Apparently they didn't trust him with anything metal or plastic or pointy for that matter.
He huffed and strolled over to where Gwen was and took a seat, he stared at her, a smirk on his lips. "Hey." He spoke, his voice boyish, a little raspy already. Shani's hair was cut short and spiky at this time. His eyes pierced through her as he observed how delightfully fragile he was, he licked his lips.

Gwen looked up at him with wide eyes, clearly suprised that someone had chosen to sit anywhere remotely close to her. "Hello." she mumbled, dropping her gaze down at her half eaten meal. Clearly he creeped her out.

He leaned over the table, his gorgeous but chilling eyes staring at her darkly. "What are you in for?" Shani asked, altogether ignoring his food, he was girnning, his canine teeth were sharp and big, already adult.

"I see things." she mumbled, careful not to use the other 's' word. Gwen shifted in her seat awkwardly, moving away from him slightly. She didn't like his closeness or his piercing eyes. She was sure that after a few months they wouldn't be so bright. "You might want to eat... They don't like it when you refuse food."

He ignored her statement. "What sorts of things do you see? Do you see monsters and people and hallucinations?" Shani asked her excitedly, he was a very twisted, smart young man, too smart for his tender age.

"I see all sorts of different things... Things adults don't want me to see. They're real though... I'm the only sane person here.... Not that that matters, it just makes me seem more crazy." Gwen caught one of the nurses watching her and she winced, quickly finishing up her remaining food.

Shani looked over at the nurse and he sneered viciously, looking absolutley elated. "How old are you? What's your name?" He asked and looked back at the young girl, his breathing was picking up just a little bit.

"I'm...Gwen. I'm ten." she answered, glancing briefly down at her wrist where her patient ID number was tattooed. She'd used that number as her name more often then her real name. She didn't ask him his name or age...She didn't really care.

"Gwen, ten, Gwen, ten..." Shani repeated in amusement and laughed, smiling wickedly. No, he'd never lose the brightness in his eyes, he was far to insane to ever allow his absolute joy and thrill to get taken away from him. He suddenly reached across the table and grabbed her by her wrist, hard, his nails digging into her skin slightly.

Gwen bit her lower lip to muffle her scream, her teeth breaking into the soft flesh. She pulled her arm from his grasp andslid out her chair, backing away from him slowly.

Shani watched her, the look in his eyes completely that of a predators. He slowly relaxed and started eating his food, looking away from Gwen now, as if he'd never done or said anything in the first place.

Gwen just stared at him for a minute before walking away to return to her little room. He really was insane. She couldn't believe it was possible for someone so young to be so crazy. At least she knew now to stay as far away from him as possible even though that'd be hard at meal times.

He watched her leave form under his silever eyelashes. He had just found himself a toy of sorts, she seemed so interesting, so fragile, like she'd definitly be a screamer. Shani stood up from the cafeteria table once he was done and left, holding his head high even though his body was tired from the effects of the pills.

Gwen finally made it to her bedroom in time for her to be lead to group therapy. She went quietly even though she hated group therapy. It was almost worse than regular therapy. she sat in her chair with her arms folded across her chest and swung her legs while everyone else was brought in.
