1. A new beginning

After a heavy rainfall, the sun has shown it's face as daylight begins to break. The streets are filled with puddles and the streets are already full. Mrs Hanson is in the kitchen preparing breakfast for her husband and their beloved son Timothee. "Tim come down to have your breakfast and call your father as well". said Tim's mom. "Yes mother", replied Tim as he hurried downstairs. His father joined after a few minutes and was very happy cause it was going to be Tim's first day at work. " Well my boy! U are all grown up now". said his father. " We are so proud of you, do well in your work ". His mother added." Thanks both of you ". Tim said and proceded to have his breakfast. After an hour he left for work saying his goodbyes to his parents.

Tim was very excited to go to work. After all those years of studying he finally got a job as a nurse in a psych ward. It was a well renowned hospital in that town. It was also near to his house so he was fine with working there. After about half an hour he reached the hospital.

There was a big signboard that said LILIAN MENTAL HOSPITAL. The hospital was big and had a lot of space. There was even a graveyard at the back for the ones who couldn't make it. There were lots of plants and trees and space. He could see some patients roaming around and sitting in the bench talking to each other and playing games. He went inside and it was beautiful. The inside was made of white marble and was super clean. There was a reception with two ladies working, a counter and a medicine counter for patients. There were stairs to go to the second floor. Tim went to the reception and showed them the form that said he got the job. One of the ladies examined it and told Tim to meet the director whose office was on the second floor in the right turn. He thanked them and went upstairs.

" I wonder if i will do good". " Will I have to give an interview again"? Tim thought to himself while walking through the hall. There were alot of patients and rooms. He took the right turn and saw a room with a label that said DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. He knocked on the door and a voice that came from inside told him to come in. Tim was a bit nervous. The room was very beautiful. There was a window near the desk, some pictures hanged on the wall and a huge bookshelf with files and books. Tim was amazed and kept staring at the room until a voice spoke up.

"How may I help you?" said the director. Tim came back to his senses and gave his form to the director. The director examined it,rested his head on his hand and said," I see u came to work here. Tell me boy, do u know that we have criminals in the hospital?". Tim was shook. "Before you jump into conclusion, I'll tell you this, we accept people who are criminals who have mental problems as a way of helping the cops and government and the you will be a personal nurse of any one or two of them".Tim found the reason reasonable but was still shocked. " I will ask you some questions which will determine which paient you will get. Are you ready for it?"

"Yes I am". Tim said with confidence. So for your first question. "Which disorder do you know the most about?" asked the director. "Personality disorder." Tim replied. "Can u handle death threats and how much patience do u have?" the director asked again. " I'm quite patient and yes I can handle death threats." replied Tim. The director asked him if he was ok having a girl as his patient and Tim replied yes. After asking a few more questions the director gave Tim a file and said, " She will be the one u will take care of." Tim eagerly looked at file. It was of a girl named Thabetha Williams. She was 20 years old and had multiple personality disorder and anxiety . She had killed four people and when she was bought to court she said she didn't wanted to kill any of the victims.

The director asked Tim to follow him. Tim followed the director while looking at the file. The got out and went behind the building towards the graveyard and behind the graveyard there was another building which looked like a old castle. It was big and spacious. They went inside and Tim was amazed by the inside structure. There were big big windows. "This is where we keep the criminals who have problem and patients who scare others. We keep them separately so they don't scare anyone else. We have few nurses here cause most of them are scared." the director said to which Tim only nodded. They went to the nurse dorm where he and the other nurses should be staying. The director asked a nurse named Sabrina to help Tim and show him the place properly. Sabrina agreed and the director went back to his office.

There were about 10 to 12 nurses as Tim looked around. "Hi I'm Sabrina Orlando. It's nice to meet you." Sabrina said with a bright smile. " Hello, my name is Timothee Hanson. It's nice to meet you all and I hope we can get along." Tim said with a bright look in his face. " Now can u show me the file so I know who your patient is." Sabrina asked politely and Tim gave her the file. " Oh! I see. You are in charge of taking care of ms Williams. Please come this way so I can take you to her room which is no.666." They were walking around the hall talking. Sabrina was the head nurse. She had started working there at the age of 18 and had been working there for 5 years now. They soon reached the room 666 and Sabrina told Tim to go inside. After that she left. Tim was nervous and as he was going to open the door, he heard a faint sob.

He leaned his head over to check if he was hearing correct. He heard it again so now he was sure that Thabetha was crying. He didn't wanted to barg in while she was crying so he knocked on the door 3 times and the sobbing stopped and a sweet voice asked, " Who is it?" Tim told her that he was her new nurse and asked her if he could come inside. It took a bit time but she said ok. He opened the door and saw her sitting on her bed. she had beautiful brown hair and a bit tanned skin with cut marks all over her hands. Her eyes looked swollen from crying. She had beautiful green eyes. Tim gave her a sweet smile as if he was saying that she can trust him. He sat himself down in the chair next to her desk and introduced himself. He told her that they could get to know each other and she could take her time while opening up. She looked at him, said ok and looked away. He was happy and told her that he would give her a nickname and asked her what she liked. Thabetha looked at him and said aqua tofana.

Tim was surprised to why she would like poison so he asked her why she liked it. Thabetha replied by saying, " So I can kill myself." Tim didn't like the sound of it and told her that she couldn't say the k-word from now on. Thabetha asked why she couldn't say that and Tim replied that it would make her feel less lively and she wouldn't be able to recover fast. Thabetha looked a bit annoyed but agreed anyways.Tim thought for a moment and " Poisionberry" he said. " What's a poisionberry?" Thabetha asked." Your new nickname." Tim said with a grin. Thabetha looked at him as if he was the one with problem. She didn't really like the idea but said ok anyways.

They talked about their likes and dislikes and Thabetha told Tim that she didn't wanted to k-word anyone and how much she hated being like this and how she wanted to change. Tim listened quietly with full interest. Now an then Thabetha would glance at Tim only to find him looking at her and giving her smile. She told him that she wanted to take a nap so he went out of her room and headed to the dorm.

The day went by normal for Tim. He got Thabetha's medication schedules and schedules for her doctor's appointment and his own schedule. Since there weren't many nurses he had to take care of other patients too. He didn't mind it. In fact he was happy to help. At the night time, he couldn't sleep so around 11 pm or so he decided to take a stroll around the ward and check if everything and everyone is ok. He was walking with a touch in his hand but the moonlight coming from the windows was much more brighter.

He had been walking for like half an hour now and as he reached the main hall he saw a young girl standing in front of the window looking outside at the graveyard. He went a bit closer but not close enough for her to notice. He was curious to what she was looking at so he looked outside the window. He couldn't see anything odd so he turned back only to find her standing next to him. He was shocked cause he didn't even here her move nor did he feel her.

She looked at him holding a teddy bear and said, "Hello."...
