Coming Back to Normal

Chapter 1

Piper had handcuffs that were digging into her wrist, she and a few other inmates were currently sitting in a bus that were transferring them to god knows where.

"Where do you think they're transferring us?", a middle-aged woman named Lolly asked. Piper looked at the women sitting next to her with a blank face.

Piper shrugged her shoulders, "Does it matter? It's the same shitty cycle either way", her voice was emotionless.

Lolly looked at her with a hurt look on her face, for some reason she had taken personal offence to Piper's emotionless tone, "Jesus, you are just a bundle of sunshine" Lolly muttered sarcastically, "You see, I never understood that phrase. How can you have a bundle of sunshine? Like that can't physically happen"

Piper rolled her eyes in annoyance, she shifted in her seat uncomfortably and resisted against the handcuffs, causing it to dig into her skin painfully. She let out a sigh as she listened to Lolly ramble about how sunshine isn't tangible hence, you can't physically have a bundle of it.

The bus suddenly came to a stop, Piper made a silent pray as Lolly's rant came to a sudden halt.

"Inmates" A guard shouted as she walked onto the bus with a baton in her hand. Piper has been on the receiving end of that fucked up stick, and she can definitely say that it wasn't a pleasant experience. "When your name is called out, form a single and orderly line as you exit the bus. If there is any funny business then you will automatically be sent back to MAX"

Piper heard a few inmates chuckle from behind, "Are we in fucking kindergarten now?", Piper shook her head, she knew exactly where this was going.

"Inmate! What did you just say?" The female guard shouted as she started to walk to the back of the bus.

The inmate's smile only grew, "My name is Brandy, B-R-A-N-D-Y", Brandy's head was shaved and she had a tattoo on her neck. "Sorry, that I had to spell my name out for you. I just wanted to let you know that I knew how to spell my name and that I'm not fucking 6 years old"

The guards grip on her baton only tightened, Piper knew this could go 2 ways; the guard could either lose all her shit and beat the crap out of the inmate or, the guard will give the inmate a warning and forever hold a grudge against her.

The guard pointed her baton at Brandy, but before she could do anything, another guard came in with a list in hand, he gestured to the guard with the baton to come over to where he was.

"Let's make this process as fast as possible. When I call out your name, stand up and leave the bus, you will form a line and then be escorted to a van. You will enter the bus and be escorted to another prison", He spoke in a mono tone, it sounded as though he had done this roll call thing, one too many time.

"Brandy Epps, Stephanie Hapakuka, Brook Soso, Lolly Whitehill, Stella Carlin and Piper Chapman"

Piper looked up when her name was called, she let out another annoyed sighed and stood up. She completely forgot about the chains on her feet and almost tripped over. She walked down the bus steps carefully, making sure not to trip.

A familiar, looking guard checked her over before taking the hand cuffs and the chains on her feet off. "Holy shit Chapman, didn't think I would see you again" the guard spoke, her dirty blond hair was tired up into a bun.

Piper looked up from her feet to the guard, she looked familiar but couldn't understand why. The guard smirked like she knew her or something, "Do I know you?" Piper asked, she didn't mean to sound disrespectful well.... she honestly didn't care that she sounded disrespectful.

"Already forgotten. That's harsh" The guard replied, "Wanda Bell", Piper still looked confused.

"Wander what?" Piper asked with confusion. Bell chuckled at this, Piper instantly knew that she wasn't getting transferred to another max prison. The guards aren't usually this nice.
