A Seperate part of this: www.deviantart.com/dappersaur/…
Monster sat in her cell, laying in the same corner as she always did, facing the door as she rested her head on her arms. She watched a fly buzzing back and forth from wall to wall, only her eyes moved with it. While she was stationary, her head was hardly so.
There are NightWingsss here... Ssso many eyesss. Ssstaring at what I wasss... All trying to get into my head, sssee what is not there, sssee WHO isss not there.
Every evening it was the same talk....
"Who are you?
Who do you remember?
What happened?
Who are you?
Do you know who I am?
Do you know where you are?
What do you remember last?
Who are you?"
All the dragons from the other side off the door would bring her to another room and talk to her or give her treatments that never worked. Everytime the dragons came, the same one was there behind them.
The Dragon with the pearlsss, ssshe isss alwaysss there. Green and blue colorsss from her. Ssseemsss...ssseemsss...Who isss ssshe...?
Before the door handle rattled, Monster stood, feeling the steps in the ground. It creaked open with Nautilus standing behind it, Monster blinked to the sudden rush of different colors she saw from them. Most were red and orange, harsh shades of red that stung her eyes to see. In contrast to them was the blue and green from the Headwarden, which was what Monster wanted to see.
Muffled sounds came from the other dragons as Monster pushed herself into a corner from their muffled words. "Monster? Are you ok?" Sounded a voice, fading into clarity in Monster's head. She spoke in a hushed tone, taking a step forwards into Mosnter's room.
Monster, flailing her read around as if trying to shake water from her ear, snapped her jaws a bit with a grumbled roar. "Ssstop! Back from me!" She spat with flickers and sparks from her failing fire from her mouth. "Back from me!" They are enemiesss. Invading again. Ssstop them.
The blue and green colors stepped closer until Monster saw Nautilus clearly, "What do you see, Monster?" She asked, speaking quietly and clearly.
Monster's movements stopped, her focus was on the HeadWarden's eyes, "Bright...Mean. Mean hurting eyes. I don't like getting hurting!"
"Shh, shh. No one is going to hurt you, see? Do you remember today right? Today we are....?"
"We...we are..." Monster seemed lost and confused, Kill, it isss a trap. Trap for usss to fall in and perish, all like before... She shook her head, "Today is...is makings day? Makings with other NightWing and...other dragons!"
"Yes! And today you're going to go with them, I have to look after Lemming, the dragon who lives down the hall from you." Nautilus's face lit up to see Monster remembering. She stepped away from Monster's face as she squinted at the other colored dragons in the door way, their colors swirled from harsh red to a somber one. "Now, we're going to move you up stairs, we need to put on you jacket until we're up there, ok?" The Warden asked, seeing her eyes ease.
Monster was brought up to the top of the ward, sporting her steel muzzle and her jacket as they went up, she had to be supported by two dragons on her sides since the jacket kept her forearms bound to her body. It was temporary, Nautilus said, the jacket would be removed once they were settled.
...
"Hello...Monster?" Spoke a small, yellow NightWing. MindReader removed her muzzle and put it under his wing for safe keeping. "W-what...what is in her...what is...?" She didn't know what to say.
"Steel stitches, we know." MindReader sighed, "They were there when she was brought in, we can't get remove them. They've been there for to long, her flesh is bound with the metal. We'd do surgery, but..."
"Hurtings me, I hurtings you." Monster rasped, her voice... sounded drowned.
"R-right. Um, well my name is StarStruck, I am your partner for this cooking exercise and one of your future doctors." StarStruck said with a nervous smile. Monster didn't say anything, she just stared at this tiny dragon. "Um..heh, w-why don't we go sit down? Me and MindReader put all that we need for muffins, have you had muffins?"
"Muffin...a bird?" Monster's glare didn't tear from StarStruck.
"No, Monster, that's a puffin." MindReader said, ushering her to the table kindly. "A muffin is...a...little bread. Served at...anything really. Muffins usually have fruit in them."
"Muffin not bird. Muffin does not bleeding. I don't eat." She said, sitting in the spot MindReader guided her to.
Time passed a bit, Monster sat at the table with the other NightWings as they chattered to themselves as they mixed things together, combining their colors. Monster was board, this was boring. She looked across the room to Nautilus, who was smiling and spending time with other dragons, it made Monster feel bad.
Wanting to finding blue...blue like dragon with pearls. Monster looked around the table when her eyes were caught on the bright blue from the bowl. It was left alone for so long...the others didn't need it by now. She took it into her talons without the other NightWings stopping her or caring that she had them, they smelled...blue. And so they must be like the Headwarden.
She pressed her wooden beak too the blue in the bowl, she smelled something and licked her beck, it was sweet! She burried her face into the bowl, content with the taste from the blue she ate. "Wh- Monster! We needed that! How are we supposed to make blueberry muffins without blueberries?" Mindreader practically yelled as Star stood there dumbfounded.
He yellinged at me... Did I do a wrong something? The blue was tasteing sweet! Not my fault... Monster's face twitched, her snout prickled in a flash. SsstarSsstruck...Sssmall dragon, isss ssshe animusss? Her head jerked strongly, matching the snarl that curled her lip, They are all red! RED LIKE BLOOD. SHAPES THAT SCREAM FOR AN END. ALL OF THEM...KILL ALL OF THEM. FREE FROM THE MUFFLED COLORS.
Monster's talon went for StarStruck's face, but the tail of MindReader knocked her down as he was able to clamp her muzzle back on, despite her thrashing body. The dragon with the pearls promised me no one hurtings me! I am hurtings! I am sorry, stop hurtings me!
"Nautilus! Help would be nice!" The NightWing on top of her screamed. That was it, the last thing she heard before all the colors and muffled voices stopped.
I'm so sorry....

You catch a glimps of what is in Monster's head! Isn't it crazy? Crazy? I was Crazy one. They locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats and the rats drove me crazy. Crazy?
(Also for those confused, Monster has undiagnosed Synesthesia, which means she sees colors from looking at people and certain feelings and words.)
