The black van rolled down the road, the pleasant hum of the engine combined with the sound of its wheels against the pavement creating white noise that seemed to lull the young woman sitting in leather seats at its rear.  Then again, the cocktail of drugs the orderlies had cajoled her into taking before gently extracting her from her chambers might have had something to do with that.  The interior was of the van was clean, its leather interior and the small fridge full of water tempted one into indulging in the fantasy this was a luxury ride. A day outing even. But the restraints tucked into seat's crevices and the grated panel that separated its passenger from the two men in the front ruined any notion of that for her.<br/><br/><i>At least the two of them don't look like The Others. </i>She thought numbly to herself. Though humans could be monsters in their own way. She had seen no strange eyes or body parts on them. No scent that hinted at anything other too much aftershave and that awful Ax body spray<i>Where are momma and papa....why did they send me away?</i><br/><br/>The question came unbidden and she shoved it away from herself. She had displeased them terribly somehow. She must have for they didn't even come to see her off. Just two strange men after an endless stream of people had come to poke and prod at her and around her rooms. These two had not rifled through her things or touched her person. Only loading up the bags the housekeeper had packed for her and assisting her into the van as she had become so dizzy.<br/><br/>Aislinn had been so lost in thought she didn't notice they had arrived until the van door slid open. The young woman stepped out and allowed herself to be led toward the two-story building. It was simple, smooth stone walls washed white by the sun. A large, dark metal door fashioned to look like a real wood one loomed ahead.  When they reached the door, she balked at the entrance, nervous fingers twining through her loose curls. "Come now Ms. Murphy, nothing will harm you in here. You have my word." The kindly older orderly said to her in soothing tones, softly pressing his hand into her back until she took an unwilling step forward. One after another until she was fully standing in the office. The door behind them swung shut and hissed as computerized locks slid into place.  Wide jade eyes stared at it, something inside of her whispering she was doomed if she didn't get back beyond it.
