"She danced! And she's dancing! She danced again! And again, she will dance!" Shouted a shrill voice as a thin, pale-skinned, red-headed woman was led through the foyer of the dining hall. A stout man, ranging about the height of 5'7", held tightly onto the woman's arm, dragging her along as she pranced about, hopping through the hallways of the institution. It had been a while since she was sedated, and she was exhilarated to finally feel free once more from the drowsy feeling she got from the sedatives.

The man, who usually went by the name of Shenz, pulled her along more, and led her to a seat at the long table, where he assisted her with getting positioned properly in a chair. For a precautionary measure, he ensured that the woman was secured, wrapping a leather harness around her and strapping it to the back of the chair so that she was unable to leave the dining area until the entire group was dismissed.

"Ohhh, this is my favorite!" A common saying floated into the air as she stared down at whatever was sitting on her plate this time around. It was meal time, and it was the best time of the day - at least, that's what Tetri Plume thought. She couldn't be happier to get out of the padded room she had been recently relocated to, and she was even more ecstatic to see the faces of other patients.

Quick to dig in to the plainly oriented meal, she picked up an eating utensil and began to hastily consume all the pieces on her plate.

-------

After a while of sitting at the table and observing her surroundings, watching all of the other patients consume their own meals, it was time to get back to their rooms. They were dismissed according to ID number, and she was one of the last to be dismissed.

Tetri let out a small huff as she was release from the chair, she was led back down the hall to another room that wasn't quite what she remembered from her short time here. It certainly wasn't her new padded room, it wasn't anything even remotely familiar to the first cell she'd been brought to, and it sure as hell couldn't have been the therapist's office. Where was she, anyways?

Confusion engulfed her mind, and she instantly panicked. Her eyes shot open, widening at the atmosphere of the room and all of the foreign utensils sitting around a lone chair on metal shelves. The room was entirely white and mostly bare. The only thing aesthetically pleasing about the room was a large one-way mirror that was accented by a dull blue frame. A rush of fear bolted through her, and she backed away from the door, but was quickly caught by her escort.

"No! I won't let ya do this! Roger, I'm sorry! I never meant'ta hurt it! Sorry, sorry!" She screamed, her shrill voice echoing down the hallways of the institution.

A guard came around the corner to assist with pushing her into the room, but she Tetri fought against them the best she could. She kicked them both repeatedly, and swung her arms, hitting them all around their faces and shoulders.

"Stop it, girl," Shenz demanded, his gruff voice echoing into her eardrum.

"You think you're so smart," Tetri retorted, continuing to fight against them. The other guard finally grabbed a hold of her arms and crossed them behind her back. Still, the frail woman kicked at the two, sending a frenzy of force at Shenz's shin. She turned around and grinned when she felt him release her, but was struck with a sudden curse of dizziness as she she felt a slight pinch on the side of her neck.

With a small grunt, she fell forward into the second guard's arms, her vision slightly blurring at this point as the sedative began to take place. She could feel her body becoming limp, all of her weight succumbing to the drug and she was now motionless. Her foggy vision searched around the room as she was dragged over to the single chair and was hoisted onto it and then strapped into place.

Shenz recovered quickly from the kick and limped his way on over to the chair where he injected Tetri with another strong dose of the sedative, causing her to fall into an obscure abyss of oblivion. As she lay there, unconscious, she was equipped with a specific headgear that allowed her brain frequencies to be monitored, as well as dream patterns. She was also injected with another serum that initiated dream sequences to take place in her mind so that the research done on her could report a superlative wisp of information that would ultimately unleash her powers of mind control.

Her powers had only been witnessed twice, but never once by her own self. Tetri's powers were unknown to her, and when she was coaxed into this institution by a series of predatory doctors, she was told she would be able to channel this energy into something formidable, yet practical. What she didn't know, was that these people were using her for their experiments and that she would become a tool to them.

And although she was powerful, she was insane and ignorant. But it didn't stop her from dreaming. No one could stop her from dreaming...
