//------------------------------// // Red and Silver // Story: Mind Twist: The First of The Insane // by TwistedSkittles //------------------------------// Why the buck is Princess Luna here? Because she’s insane like us. No she’s not! But still...I have heard that she is Nightmare Moon. But what’s bad about the dark? Nothing! That’s what I don’t understand. I bet Celestia sent her here. Maybe. Nopony else should be sent here, especially Luna. Why not save her? Because you idiot, she’s locked up in that weird room with chains and everything. It’s like a dungeon in there. Maybe so but- Ugh!! Shut up already!!! Why don’t you? SHUT UP!!! Just then Mind Twist heard a bloodcurdling scream. Mind immediately busted her door down and flew to the direction of the scream. It came through the Bloody Stallion’s door. She looked inside and saw a nurse being stabbed by the stallion inside. She gasped and broke through the door easily. Inside, she flew to the ceiling, trying to avoid the Bloody Stallion, who was jumping due to being an earth pony and trying stab her. The nurse, who Mind did not recognize, was screaming as her blood flowed through her many deep stab wounds. “BLOOD!! I TOLD YOU I SMELLED BLOOD!!” the Bloody Stallion screamed at her. "GIVE IT TO ME!! I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!" He threw the knife at her. Mind dodged it and the dagger went into the wall, sticking to it from the red splattered ooze. It was blood. It seemed that the entire room was splattered in it, and it made Mind Twist sick to her stomach. She had never been in this room before, not because nopony was allowed, but needles and blood made her want to throw up. As the severley injured nurse was still screaming, the door burst open revealing Misses and about ten guards. The guards immediately tackled the Bloody Stallion, and Mind Twist gently took the nurse, who had finally stopped screaming, out to the hallway. She was put on a cot and was rushed off by two other nurses. Mind Twist flew over to Misses, who watched the injured nurse leave. "Is she going to be alright?" Mind asked her in a quiet voice. "No, she is going to the graveyard as we speak to be buried." Misses answered, not a hint of symphony in her voice. "So you're just going to kill her and then bury the body like nothing happened?" "Who said anything about killing?" "What? What kind of hospital is this? She was still alive and everything!" Mind Twist argued. When Misses gave her a cold blank stare, Mind Twist gasped. "You're going to bury her alive?" "It's part of our job. Death is not a decision." Misses answered. "Now I suggest you get back to your cell before I send the guards on you." She threatened as she walked away. Death is not a decision. What the hay does that mean? It mean we have to do something about it. To defend yourself. A streak of silver caught Mind's eye. It was the dagger that the Bloody Stallion had used. Nopony had noticed it. Mind Twist flew silently past the guards, who were still dealing with the Bloody Stallion. She looked around to make sure nopony was watching, and peeled it off the bloody walls. Mind winced at the liquid, then zipped quickly to her room. I guess this room can be useful Mind thought as she opened a secret compartment on the floor. Her room had once been some sort of panic room, incase the staff needed a place safe from the Insane. Now they had taken everything out, leaving a cell with a steel door and a secret compartment. Mind Twist took out a nurse's shirt, a brand new one that she had stolen, and used the sleeve to clean the dagger. Once it was clean, she wrapped the knife in side the shirt and placed it back into the compartment. She closed the door gently. Then went to a corner and curled up to fall asleep.
