"Yay! Come on Cortlan, Rosie! Let's go, the world is so pretty today, fresh rain droplet on the plants makes everything sparkle in the light!" Grabbing the two other girls hands she began to skip down the corridor towards a patio, where a few other patients sat around staring into space. Grabbing a seat that gave the group a clear view of the lawn, Cleo smiled as she began to hallucinate.

"Nature sure has a way of being an escape, the way the trees move in the wind to creat the sweetest music and how flowers can add colour to an otherwise dull world. I can almost see it, the place hidden just beyond our reach, hidden away behind the trees. There are many beautiful creatures that live there, mermaids swimming through the water and centaurs playing their magical flutes for the king and queen. Oh yes the king and queen, so brilliant and kind they are, they look at everything and only see the good. They walk among the subject and bestow gifts to those who have done them great service, no one there is unhappy, they live in a world of peace and love. These are my friends Cortlan. This is why I don't take my medicine, because the world I can see threw my eyes is so perfect and is my sanctuary. You can come visit it with me someday, those mean friends of your want ever be able to hurt you, so please don't become a doll and live happily with me, let us be friends."

Cleo flashed Cortlan a happy smile again, and reached out her hand, hoping the girl would take it.
