When the girl started sobbing tears of joy Bella couldn't help but become ... well, confused was an understatement. What kind of place did this girl come from to think that Landel's, of all places, was like some kind of vacation?
However, when the girl grabbed her hand, the teenager calmed down. She didn't know where this girl was, but by the sounds of what she had said before, it sounded as if she had been abandoned ... and something about a submarine, most likely. She couldn't forget about that part. "It's ... I ... You're welcome," Bella finally said, just going with it. "What's your name, by the way?"
At the girl's next question, she leaned back in her chair, turning to look at the nurses who were still escorting patients into the cafeteria. "It looks like a mental asylum - tells you they are. They tell you that the life you lived before entering is all just a dream made up by your mind to fabricate something else," unconsciously, Bella's hand moved to her ring, spinning it around on her finger, as if making sure that it was still there. "They say they're going to heal us, whatever that's supposed to mean."
"But," at this point, her voice dropped low, and she leaned towards Claire. "At night ... everything changes, like in a horror movie. We're allowed to walk around the hallways, but they've ... changed. Everything is dark and scary, and there are monsters wandering around some of the hallways just waiting to attack you."
She hated being the one to tell a newbie about what happened at night, sometimes. She didn't want to freak them out, like she had her roommate.
"Oh, and there are monsters in the mirror. Most definitely stay away from any mirrors."
