Ophelia had taken to writing a journal so she could keep track of her thoughts. Sometimes, what she wrote made little to no sense. Other times, often written in different handwriting to her own, the words were chilling and cruel. On the rare occasion that she was lucid, her words were overwhelmingly sad. The writing helped her identify a pattern to her madness. At times when she was particularly tired, stressed or over emotional, Sickness emerged. If she slept properly, kept herself sated for blood, and maintained a calm demeanour, she was better able to keep control of her mind.
Music was her constant companion. Sometimes, she played just to keep herself from thinking about what had happened, and other times, the mellow tone of her cello kept her loneliness at bay. Visitors were rare. Even visits from her father were seldom. Visiting times at the hospital were usually restricted to daylight hours, and well... vampires weren't known for their sunny demeanour, or their sunbathing. Of course, he could always bribe his way in, or simply intimidate whoever was foolish enough to refuse him entry, but he was too well mannered to even attempt such a thing.
She hoped she'd have a visitor soon. Somebody... anybody. She was getting desperate for company.

Winter was always the time of year when vampires were at their strongest. The longer nights and icy chill in the wind meant more time for hunting, and less likelihood that their cold skin would be remarked on as unusual.
Ophelia, while her mind was still a trembling wreck of a thing, was at her peak physically. Regular meals of blood meant her body had recovered quickly. Everything but the eyes showed a healthy young woman ... but the eyes were terrifying to look into.
She had managed to persuade her healer to let her take a walk in the hospital garden, a tiny courtyard with more weeds than grass, and as soon as she set foot onto the garden's soil, she tilted her head upwards to the moonlight and sighed.
"Crazy, they call me ... sure, I'm crazy..." she murmured.
She turned on the spot, anti apparition charms on the building and grounds meaning nothing to a vampire, and became a cloud of bats. There were loud shouts of alarm, and a wailing siren going off as the bats scaled the high walls and soared into the night. She was free, free! All she knew was that she was heading for anywhere other than the hospital, anxious to feel moonlight and starlight on her skin once more.
