A bright light shined from the ceiling.
Mind Twist groaned and held up her hoof to block the light. She sat up and found herself in a small room with a metal ceiling, walls, and door. 
"Mommy? Daddy? Is this my new room?" She asked out loud as she looked around for her parents. The room was empty.
Of course it is!  She told herself. They wouldn't just leave you here.
But what if they did? What if this is my punishment for not being a good girl?
No! You were good! You did what Misses told you to do. You took that stupid shot and then you woke up here. 
Just then the heavy metal door opened, and a guard came in.
“C’mon runt, it’s lunch time!!” He barked at her.
As the filly hurried out of the door, the guard stuck his hoof out and tripped her, making Mind Twist fall flat on her face. Her anger rose quickly, and her thoughts became violent.
The guard laughed as Mind Twist slowly got up. She growled at him like an animal and slugged him in the face, sending him crashing into the wall, which had been about ten feet away.
“YOU BIG MEANIE!!!” Mind Twist screamed. 
She felt the anger go as soon as it had come, and quietly walked into the cafeteria.
Since she was too short, a nurse came over and helped her with her food. Mind Twist learned that her name was Nurse Redheart. Redheart was a bit nicer than the other staff, and she sat with Mind during lunch.
Mind Twist looked around and found that no other ponies were eating besides her and Redheart.
“Where are my parents?” She asked the nurse.
“I am afraid they are gone right now.” Redheart said firmly as she ate her sandwich. 
“Oh, okay. Maybe they’ll stop by later. Then I can go home right?” Mind said softly, hope filled her voice.
Redheart frowned at the little pony and put her sandwich on the table. 
“Excuse me a moment.” She told Mind as she walked away.
