Madison Vyper (D5)

It was pure innocence, as raw as it came. Everything on the little five-year-old was tiny and fragile looking. A porcelain doll was the perfect example because Madison looked identical to the baby dolls some people enjoyed collecting. Standing at a short three feet exactly Madison was the shortest in her kindergarten class, along with everything else that remained mini on her. Small hands and feet, with scrawny arms and legs attaching everything together, she looked to be a healthy, and just tiny little girl. Round cheeks contrasted perfectly with her sharp chin, both together shaping an adorable baby face spotted with a button nose and framed with dirty golden hair.

Gracing down Madison’s back is the longest thing about her, dark blonde locks. The innocent, bright green eyes are what always bring people in; they tell the truth though only few could see it. If Madison was telling a lie it was clear to tell through the sparkle in her big, light eyes. Though faced with a lot of problems, Madison absolutely loves her clothes and hair just like any other little girl. Putting on a beautiful dress and a matching pin in her hair was usually taking up most of Madison’s morning, the perfect distraction from all her problems any tiny kid shouldn’t have to face.

It was difficult for people to know Madison because not many people toke the time to get past her problems. Just like any little girl Madison was usually cheerful and bright with a smile spreading across her innocent face, loving to play with dolls and dress-up. Also like kids her age, Madi had her share of imaginary friends. That was where Madison was very different, and why most people didn’t give her the time of day, because her imaginary friends were real to her. Of course not a lot of people could understand schizophrenia, finding the little girl crazy and weird. That also included the kids in her grade, leaving Madison to be a loner.

It didn’t matter though because Madison had her friends that no one else could have, simply because no one else could see them. Alison and animals were primarily Madison’s hallucination, though she was sometimes given new visits on a daily basis. When Madison was around four Alison began convincing her to do bad things such as runaway, steal, and even get violent. That’s when the nickname Mad Madi began going around, along with rumors that the little girl was lying about her imaginary friends. But Madison had such a sweet heart despite what everyone believed. The few that knew Madison could see it in her eyes, that there really was something there to the little girl.

If only Madison had better communication skills, because Alison always gave such a convincing reason to why Madison had to do something bad. Whether it was to protect the people she loved, be heroic, or something that sounded like fun. It wasn’t all horrible though, often finding enjoyment out of her friends. The fun times did over weigh the bad, playing games and adventures with her friends that never went away. To the little girl it was like having a play date and sleep over 24/7. It certainly wasn’t the healthy though, leaving Madison often isolated from the real world.

Everything was so perfect at first; a young married couple conceived their first baby and was completely ready to begin a family. A beautiful baby girl was brought into this world to be given the name Madison, who they would soon find out fit the little girl’s description perfectly. Mad Madi as her nickname became in the future. At infancy Madison was often staring at nothing, giggling at a blank wall, or screaming and swatting at nothing on the floor. It was clear that something was certainly off with her. When Madison could finally communicate it was clear what was wrong, she began talking about her imaginary friends that were really there to her.

Taking their daughter to a doctor, Madison was finally diagnosed with schizophrenia. This freaked out the new parents who only wanted a healthy, happy baby. But that wasn’t what was brought to them, and they toke it upon themselves to try to cope with their special daughter. With the help of many specialist and therapist Madison’s parents desperately attempted to keep their adorable daughter. Things became even more difficult as the months went by. They never wanted to bring Madison to public because of the stares they received when Madison would talk to the empty air, or hold the hand of her friend that no one else could see. It was too real for the little girl, and nothing the inexperienced parents could handle, if any parent at all even could.

The main problem was Alison; it was Madison’s main hallucination that is a little girl the same age as Madi. Alison often guides Madison off far away for adults to begin to worry, or tell her to take something that didn’t belong to her. The time that Madison’s parents could no longer control her was when Alison began convincing her to get violent. Knowing of a home filled with the insane and a caring women that nurtured them, Madison’s parents dropped her off in front of Victoria Faerxel’s home in hope that Madison would have a better life there then a mental home that would lock her away. There could still be hope for the little girl.
