Mind Twist: The First of The Insane

by TwistedSkittles


A Monster's Reflection

A few months had passed, and today a new patient had come. She was a grey pegasus with blonde hair. At first Mind Twist had seen nothing wrong with the pegasus. Maybe she had got caught, like a few other patients had, for knowing too much of the Wing. But then Mind got a good look of her face, and saw her yellow derped eyes.
"But you can't take me away. The Doctor needs me!!" The grey pegasus cried.
"There are other doctors here Ditsy." Misses said to her.
"It's Derpy," she frowned crossly. "And seriously doubt that they're the Doctor I'm looking for."
Misses lead the grey pegasus to a room. She glanced at the hallway, then saw Mind Twist's watching them from her opened door.
"Don't even think about it Mind Twist!" She called.
"You're lucky I haven't tried getting Luna out yet!" Mind Twist snapped. Then she turned to Derpy. "Nopony should be here. Get out while you still can. Don't turn into the others!"
Mind shut her eyes tight. Most of the patients were dead. Beaten to death or suicide. About a month ago the Bloody Stallion had just cut himself so much that he had bled to death, laughing at the sight of the red ooze. His room was still stained a bright red, for they could not get all of the blood off the walls. Everypony watched in horror as they dragged his bloody body out the door, and soon word of the suicide spread quickly through out the Wing.
Misses pushed Derpy inside and used her magic to shut both her and Mind's door, nearly squishing her head in the process.
First Screwball, then Screw Loose, and Princess Luna and then that pegasus.
Her name is Derpy.
Right. Got it.
So who's next?
Nopony I hope. There's been so many already....
And they all turned a little insane.
Insane. That's what they call us. I wonder why....
Mind Twist shook her head violently.
Focus!! We need to get them out of here. We need to warn them.
How?
Easy, just follow my lead.
Mind Twist kicked the door open. Then she flew to Derpy's door. She peeked inside the tiny window and saw Misses chaining up the sad grey pegasus to a chair.
How could they!? Most are just stuffed in a straight jacket in a padded room. It's us violent ones who are chained up or put in a metal room!! Mind Twist screamed in her head.
Her anger suddenly rose and she opened the door violently.
"Get out! I told you to get out!" Mind yelled as she flew around the room. "Get out while you still can! Nopony can escape the screams and the memories! NOPONY!" She seemed to be crying out in fear.
She saw that the two ponies were cowering in fear at her.
What's wrong with them? I'm trying to warn her!
It's you. They see you as the monster.
Am I really that violent? Am I the one that ponies fear?
Yes.
But I'm no monster!! I'm not!
She looked at Derpy, who was ready to scream. Mind Twist angrily looked at mirror that leaned against the padded wall. A barely recognized pony met her eyes. She saw that her eyes were glowing red more than usual. Her mane was tattered and the fact she had not slept for days was no secret. Her flank still had no cutie mark, yet she was a full grown pony. She looked ready to kill somepony, and might have if she hadn't paused.
It was her. Mind Twist.
I really am the monster. She thought quietly to herself.
Mind Twist's eyes filled with tears, making them glow even more red, and quickly buzzed out of the room. She flew straight back to her room and slammed the heavy steel door shut.
As she wiped her eyes, Mind paused to look at her hooves. They were covered in scars and bruised. The newer scratches and scars were a bright red compared to her jet black coat.
Mind growled angrily at the sight of them. She pounded them to the metal floor, then zipped to the door. As she looked through the small window she saw Nurse Redheart.
"LET ME OUT! I WANT TO SEE MY PARENTS!" Mind heard herself screech. She started pounding on the door violently. "I'M NOT THE MONSTER! YOU ARE! YOU ARE THE MONSTERS!!"
