10:22pm

at exactly ten at night were her hydrotherapy sessions in which she would be pushed into a pool of freezing waters, completely undressed, and left there for fifteen minutes. they were a sort of experiment the doctors at worthington manor conducted on jane doe, one of their newest patients who was severely traumatized from an unknown past experience to the point where she had gone mute. no one knew anything from her past, not even her name. she had only uttered her name to one person while in that hospital, it was the only thing he had ever heard her say.

she wouldn't speak to the doctors, and their experiments were designed to get her to utter a sound. anything. but she always remained quiet, no matter how much physical pain she was in. only silent tears flowed from her eyes.

when then fifteen would strike on the clock, she was helped out of the pool, had her patient robe thrown at her and was led back to her room on one of the inferior floors. no towels, no blankets to keep her warm, only her patient robe made out of the thinnest material and her shivering bones trying to generate an ounce of heat for her body. 

it had been that way since she arrived at the hospital. her nurse shoved her into the white padded emptiness of her room and shut the door behind her after turning off the lights. with the door already shut, the nurse bolted it with lock and left her alone until the very next morning where they would all be woken up and herded into the dining hall for breakfast. 

on this night things were different. 

she went to her bed and climbed onto it desperately, bringing her knees to her chest, and hugging her arms around herself. her teeth chattered loudly in the silence of her room and her shivers continued to no end. her long brown hair was wet, dripping, and knotted, but she didn't care. she was but a prisoner in the mental hospital. 

she jumped back, startled, when the door to her room opened slowly. jane used her legs to push herself back against her bed until her back hit the wall, her bright eyes peeled in terror. this was something that was out of the ordinary at worthington manor hospital. once she was left in her room, no one would come see her until the next morning. jane covered her face with her hands in fear that the nurses had returned to hurt her and cried silently, no real sound escaping her lips.

the only thing she could see in the darkness was the shadow of a person that took a few steps to reach her bed. and sitting at the edge of her bed, a hand reached forward to push the wet hair from her face with gentle movements. his other hand did the same to pull away her trembling hands which were concealing her face. 

"mary," he whispered in the darkness. she instantly calmed when she recognized the voice. "don't be afraid, its only me."

him.
