more important things to worry about now. He had to put a stop to this rebellion before it could begin.

    Her resident entourage of guards was leading Giselle to a new ward. Her risk status had been lowered from black to red.  She had been responding to the treatment the way that Dr. Clinton had hoped she would, but she still needed to be monitored.  Dr. Clinton wanted to see how well her experiment did in the general population of the Facility, especially since she now believed that she was Shannon Wright.  Andrea Clinton was obsessed with reconditioning her patients into believing they were other people with archaic electric shock therapy and a plethora of medication.  All of the patients in the White Ward were her success stories, and most of them believed that they were high ranking D.A.E officials.  This made them the perfect citizen in the eyes of the State once again.  Being able to tame the resilient Giselle Harmon would be her crowning glory!  The final test was to see if Giselle would reject her own father in the Red Ward, and if she were able to do that, then Dr. Andrea Clinton would be a celebrated success. 
     
    Giselle was led to a common room where fellow patients gathered in their worn jump suits.  Each displayed various scales of discoloration from years of wear and tear.  Her new jumpsuit stood out with the blood red hue that seemed to glow around her.  Her mess of blonde locks were hanging loosely around her face, while vacant eyes scanned the room with disinterest.  The guards signed her in while she picked at her shackles aimlessly. They hadn’t been needed in months, but it was protocol to keep any patients in irons during a transfer.  Other patients watched her with cautious curiosity. She looked more like that of a White Ward patient, with her far away eyes and permanent sway.  Shannon was the first to realize that something was not right with their new neighbor.
     
    “Hey,” she whispered to Peter, “what do you think the deal is with that one?”
     
    Peter was staring out of the only open window in the common room. He was reluctant to, but turned to see who Shannon was talking about.  When his eyes met the fragile, young face of another Could that he had exiled, his blood ran cold.  “I don’t bloody believe it!” he exclaimed, “I’m being haunted by D.A.E reports of the past.” 
     
    Shannon studied his face for a moment. He was clearly rattled by the girl, and Shannon suspected that he was responsible for her being here.  Turning her attention back to the burly guards who were manhandling her to be seated, she could see that there was still some light in her.  Her pale skin still had some mocha underneath it, a sign of a colorful family no doubt, Shannon thought.  Intrigued by her unusual features, Shannon noticed dull, blue eyes skimming over the other patients once she was seated. 
     
    “How beautifully unusual,” she said to Peter, who was still watching Giselle with remorse.
     
    “It’s my fault that she is here,” he said with a long sigh, “I called the D.A.E on her because she questioned me in my class.”
     
    Shannon raised a quizzical eyebrow at Peter. She wasn’t surprised that he had done this after their tumultuous relationship that ended in a run in with the Bulldogs.  “Oh Peter, really? Who haven’t you reported?”  Shannon said before standing up.  Peter shot his hand out in front of her to stop her from taking a step forward.  He could see her tail of security still close by, and he didn’t want to risk another Treatment session because of her defiance. 
     
    “Please don’t Shannon.  Do you really have to push all of the boundaries?”  he exasperated under his breath.
     
    “Yes!” She replied incensed, “I do, because that is why I’m in this God forsaken place to begin with, Peter!”  she finished before Peter wrapped his fingers painfully tightly around her slender arm.
