Mystery

One

"I've been getting visions whole my life. I'm getting the same vision over and over again. Sometimes it keeps me awake at night. It's an awful vision, but I can live with that. When I get it, I don't scream nor put my hands against my head. I just stare at the walls.

I haven't introduced myself. My name is Jenna, Jenna Hale. I'm 16 years old and I live nowhere. Well, I call it nowhere. Here in Nowhere-land, I'm nobody. Everybody here is nobody. Only the stupid nurses are the 'somebody'. They are the 'somebody' who are the nobodies for me. Everybody here in this stupid center is a nobody for me.

You're wondering where I am right? Well I can tell you this, I'm not home. There is no home for me. Not anymore. I'm at a sort of disgusting center right now. I'm not the only kid here. There are plenty of others here and it's kind of annoying. I don't like to be with others. Alone. That's the magic word for me. Forever Alone sounds even much better.

I like being in my bedroom. If I can call it a bedroom. Technically it's just a room with gray colored walls. It's like you're in a cellar. I kind of like it. Sometimes, when my nails are too long, I like to scratch them on the wall. Even when I cut my nails, I use a knife. Yes, I'm keeping knives in my room so I can play with them. I really like to play with them. I also like to sharpen them. That is what I do with my free time. You can be sure that the "nurses" don't know that. They'll kill me if they find out. I don't mind that. I'm planning to escape from this horrible place. If I succeed, I'm not going back home. Or maybe I will... I'll see... My worry is just how to escape here... I-"

"Jenna?" "Oh God damn it, Sister Marina! You ruined my tape!" "Which tape?" "Euhm... Nothing.... I was just playing a game" "There is no time for your little games, Jenna. I'm coming in right now." Jenna didn't know what to do. She took her tape-recorder, rushed towards her bed and dumped it under her bed. The door opened with a click. Wile Sister Marina put her keys back in her pocked she said: "Why are you sitting on the ground? Come here and sit on your table. Eat." "No. I'm not hungry." "You won't get any food anymore if you don't eat." "I don't care. Why do you even lock my door? It's like I'm in a prison. Let me out of here or I'll stab your eye." " We lock you up because you're mad. So we're here to help you. And you won't dare, do you?" "Oh Sister Marina, I'm capable of a lot of things. You just don't know... yet" Jenna laughed. "Whatever you say.", said Sister Marina while she was heading towards the door.

Jenna didn't eat. She smashed the plate against the wall and took the knife. "Urgh. Not sharp enough." she rolled her eyes, put the knife back and took the tape-player again. "I'm going to kill Sister Marina for interrupting my tape. I mean it. She will pay for this and she will say sorry. If she doesn't, I'll stab her eyes out first, then I'll- No no no no not like that. First of all, I'm going to pull her nails out of her fingers and let her eat them. Then I'll cut her hair AND skin off, so she will look like an alien. After that, I'll stab her eyes out with my beautiful little knife. Yes. That sounds amazing! But I can!t do that. I'm not a killer."

Jenna stopped the tape and took it out of her tape-recorder. She took a little box where tapes normally belong in. She put it in there and took an old box she found in her room. "You'll be safe there", she whispered.
