Hiding in the Shadows
[ Chapter One ]
I felt strong, rough hands grab my arms. I hated the feeling of being restrained. The whole room seemed to be spinning. I felt something warm and red trickle down my arms. Everything around me was fading into nothingness.
I was being dragged into a white van with red and blue sirens blaring at the top. The throbbing in my head was becoming unbearable. I felt the van jerk foward, and suddenly we were whizzing down the street, well over the speed limit. I had to fight for my each and every breath.
"Hallie, can you hear me?" one of the men asked me.
I went to answer, but I couldn't seem to form any sounds. Helplessly, I sat there, unable to do anything but think and breathe.
Suddenly, I felt the van come to a stop. The two men hoisted me onto a stretcher. They pushed the stretcher out of the van and onto the hot pavement below. I looked up and noticed a hint of desperation in their eyes. For a moment, I wondered if I even cared whether I made it or not. No, I couldn't afford to think like that. This isn't what I wanted. I had made a mistake, a huge mistake, that may end up costing me my life.
The two nurses rolled me down hall after hall. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. I was starting to think it would never end. All I could see was white. White walls, white doors, white floors, white everything. This was all one huge nightmare. I couldn't hear the nurses voices anymore. My vision started getting blurry. Everything started turning black...
I don't remember anything after that. The next thing I knew, I was laying in a hospital bed with bandages covering my wrists. That wasn't the only thing on my wrists, though. There was also a hospital bracelet that read, "North Ridgeway's Mental Institution for Minors".

My eyes shot open as the blaring of my alarm clock filled the room. I sat up, breathing heavily. I checked my wrist. There was no hospital bracelet, only dozens of scars. I wasn't back in that horrible place. It was only a dream, the same dream I had every single night.

Authors Note: Well, what do you guys think? It might be a little confusing right now, but the next few chapters will help you understand Hallie's situation a lot better. Please, give me feedback!
