"You're English is funny." He said making Floretta giggle a little.
“I know it’s funny. I used to live in Munich with Dom-dom. But when Iris turned seventeen we had to move here.” She said without much of a care like any child, well those who were outgoing. She didn’t even look up from her colouring as she talked to him. No fear lingering in her body, just happiness to spend time with a new friend.
As time went on the two kept talking and colouring, even to the point where Floretta used the bunny holding the crayon to colour in some parts as well. When they finished the last one Floretta smiled brightly up at him her eyes closed as she held the bunny on her lap. “Next time we should colour more!” She said before giggling and then looking down at the last picture they had finished. It was a bunny, Floretta had even added the x over its eye to make Bunny ‘feel better’. When he asked what now, Floretta glanced up before umming softly to herself for a moment. “How about I ask the doctor if you can keep a picture in your room!” She said before getting up the crayon’s falling to the floor as she ran over to one of the doctors who had been watching them.
Floretta grabbed the woman’s hand and pulled dragging her over despite Floretta being just slightly taller than the woman she was dragging behind her. As she pulled the woman back she was explaining to the doctor how Davie needed to take the picture to his room so he wouldn’t forget. The doctor smiled at Floretta but you could tell she was a little worried about the idea of doing it. When she got back to the couch she took the book from Davie’s lap and held it out for the doctor to see showing her each picture. The doctor made sure to look over the images and praise the two of them for their great work. After a moment of thinking she smiled. “Alright I’ll let you both take one picture each. I’ll bring them to your room after we get everyone back to their rooms is that alright?” Floretta nodded happily.
“What one do you want?” She said well glancing back at Davie. Once he had picked the doctor noted and took the book after Floretta told her what one she wanted.
“Alright you two time to get back to your rooms. Floretta I’ll put this in the office and take you back alright?” She said the doctor not missing the fact that this was Floretta and not one of Iris’ other personalities. Floretta nodded and held her bunny before glancing back and seeing Davie leaving the room.
“Oh. . . bye.” She said a little sad that he had already left.

The next day, the picture was tapped up on the wall of Iris’ prison. She stared at it as she sat on her bed, her back pressed along the wall, her feet dangling off the end of the bed. Her bed was made, the bunny they let her keep sat on the end of the bed staring at the picture. She couldn’t remember much from yesterday. But that was nothing new. Before she blamed the coke she somehow got addicted to, but even after she got clean she couldn’t remember much. When they moved to America, they found where they were again and Dominick hide Iris in a mental hospital no longer able to keep running away from her mess with them. Cats shouldn’t be purple though, what kind of meds did they have her on and why was she colouring? Closing her eyes she hit her head softly on the wall before the rattle of keys could be heard outside her cell. Peeking open one of her icy blue eyes she waited for the clicks of the locks to follow and then the screaming of the door as it swung open into the hallway.
“I don’t want to go out today. Just give me my meals unless you’re going to let me call Dominick.” She said slightly annoyed, the doctor paused for a moment wondering which one he was talking to.
He sighed. “Iris?” He question knowing that when they tried to explain her problems to her, she shut down and Sin came out. No one liked dealing with Sin. “You know today is your chore day.”
“This is so stupid, you have enough people to clean the damn halls.” She said before pushing off to the end of her bed and walking towards the doctor. “What are you slave drivers wanting me to do today?” She said as the doctor took her to some rooms that were now empty, she was given a bucket of water, a mob and a scrub brushed. Iris sighed to herself when she was along, pocking her head out to see if anyone was in the hallway, some guy was who was currently talking to a doctor, she turned back into the room and stared at the walls. Blood spatters were her task to wash out. Most of the blood from the floor had been cleaned up. Iris had become used to it. She knew this hospital was up to something when they took in a homeless runway into their care.
