Chapter IV
Samanta, or Sam as everyone kindly calls her, is a beautiful girl, short, thin, blue eyes and long and golden hair, many would confuse her with an angel as they see her in her typical white coat and loose hair. She likes to make friends and talk about everything. she gets along well with all the workers in Saint Isabel, she is very dear to most of the tenants.
Although she likes to talk about everything that comes to her mind, she prefers to know about the outside world, she spends hours in front of the TV in the central room watching movies, since there is no access to the internet or cable. She likes to walk thru the aisles barefoot, she rarely goes out to the patio and when she does she plays with every animal she finds, she talks to the plants, you could say that she is a normal 19 year old girl.
Dr. Carles found her wandering through a dark alley at 2 AM, alone and cold, a girl of only four years old who was abandoned by her family, the doctor knew from the beginning that she was special, took her to Saint Isabel, he ordered for her to be cleaned, fed and taken photos of her to take to the local channels, her photos were taken around the world, there was no response, no one knew the girl, no trace of relatives, the girl became famous, everywhere they knew the sad story of an abandoned girl. The days, weeks, months, and years passed, but no one went to Saint Isabel for her.
In some strange way the doctor had told the nurses that he knew no one would come for her, because she was special. Although at that moment nobody understood what the doctor meant, little by little they realized how special that little angel was.
Dr. Carles became an adoptive dad at the age of 17. He enjoyed watching her run down the aisles, Sam found warmth and love on the part of her protector who not only provided home, food and love, but gave her a name and surname, and even better, a place to call home .
Many said that Saint Isabel was not the same place since Sam arrived, strange things began to happen, the few tenants they had at that time changed their ways, no matter how small the change was, it was still noticed.
It is said that even plants and flowers grew larger than before, brighter colors, animals came more often, and patients improved their people skills in her presence. Only the Doctor was not surprised, he simply smiled and repeated the same thing every time "Sam is special, someday you will see it".
Chapter III
Saint Isabel is a white building with gray touches. It consists of 4 wings (east, west, north and south) with 50 rooms (or cells as some call them) a large back yard surrounded by white walls that doesn't allow a view of the outside world.
The building was initially built to imprison insurgents in wartime, then expanded and used as a monastery, which was abandoned after paranormal incidents. It was also attempted to make it a boarding school for wealthy children. Afterwards it was made a substances rehabilitation center named "Isabella Morry Peace Center" where Dr. Carles began working at the age of 16 under the command of Dr. Raymond Schaffer who made him his right hand until his death 10 years later. After that, Dr. Carles renamed it Saint Isabel Clinic.
The halls of Saint Isabel are cold and repetitive. The cells are very small rooms where there is only room for a small and uncomfortable bed, a small table, two chairs glued to the floor and a small closet for personal items, although not all the tenants have one of them since they are not allowed to have any kind of artefacts, for their own safety.
The 30 tenants of Saint Isabel are special characters, each of them has their own story. Brought from all over the country and the world. 29 of them have already been in jail, considered psychopaths and lunatics, phenomena or simply people that no one wants to have close.
Dr. Carles has always had an interest in paranormal things, the soul afflictions of people who, according to his philosophy, start in the soul and heart and then migrate to the mind and culminate in unusual behaviors, such as kill someone for no apparent reasons and without remorse.
Many people could swear that the Doctor's eyes can see the soul of each person and that's why he only interns and works with the people he has personally seen and talked to. Other people have classified the Doctor like a madman who lost his reason from a very young age, from the incident in his hometown, incident that left him orphaned at the young age of 9 years old.
The doctor is a tall man, about 1.82 mts, white as milk, jet black hair, long eyelashes and eyebrows as black as his hair that frame the light brown eyes he got from his mother, Lucy, turning his eyes so deep and full of mystery. His physical appearance attracts more than one woman right after seeing him, many have been deceived thinking that he is as young as 22 to 29 years old, the face of an innocent angel who knows nothing about the world.
As a boy, Frank Carles was always very quiet and solitary, imaginative and dreamy. He was able to walk and pronounce his first words and concrete sentences at his first year of life. Recognized as a prodigy child in his country. At age 32 the Doctor had already completed his studies in Medicine and Applied Psychology at the best university in the country, had traveled the world and worked in many centers of psychological help, a bachelor's degree in theology and post-graduate in Modern Dark Arts. He has spent more than half his life in understanding the paranormal side of things and unifying it with psychology and existentialist philosophy. He has been cataloged as crazy and dreamy by many.
Time passes and many wonder how a child who was punished by life at an early age has been so strong as to move on alone, studied and passed every test without any support.
Saint Isabel is a place full of curious personalities and serious unexplained cases. It is very difficult to find new staff willing to work there. Especially because as investors, sponsors and business partners are gradually withdrawing, the salary has also dropped very badly.
