Mind Twist: The First of The Insane

by TwistedSkittles


Filly Killer

The staff had had enough of Mind Twist.
A guard would come in every day and beat and whip her for hours upon end. She would be left alone, curled up in a little ball. She would shake and cry as she saw the blood flow from her. This continued day by day. Mind Twist was not to be outside of her cell for another two months, along with an increase in torture.
All Mind Twist could do is constantly live in fear of somepony opening the door. Her food would magically appear in front of her on a tray by one of the unicorns of the staff. The only time door was ever opened would always reveal a guard and a whip.
It wasn't always the same guard. It would be a different one each day. Some beatings were shorter and less fierce, most felt that they lasted forever, and Mind Twist felt she was ready to die.
Everyday Mind Twist would drag herself to her secret compartment. She would try her best to stop her injuries. She saved her water from her meals to washing the blood away, and to use it in her bandages. She was very low on napkins. A nurses shirt was very rare now that she was locked inside. She would rip some cloth from the guards' shirts as they beat her.
Now, it was new day, and Mind had yet to receive her daily tortue. She was laying in a corner, breathing hard. Yesterday had been gruesome. She held a napkin to her right front hoof, applying pressure to the deep gash. The blood was not flowing as bad as it had been yesterday, but the napkin was turning a bright red.
Mind Twist winced.
No! She screamed in her head.
She heard a pony outside her door. She dragged herself to her secret compartment.
No more! I can't take it any longer!
She pulled out the dagger hurriedly as the door clicked. She scrambled to the corner, forcing her to sit up as hid the knife behind her back.
It was so quiet, she could hear the blood flowing through her ears.
The door swung open.
Mind Twist could not see who the guard was, the lights made him only a silhouette.
The pegasus breathed harder and gripped tightly on the dagger behind her back.
The door shut, and Mind Twist gasped. It was the leader of the group who had snuck into her room as a filly. They had nearly killed her, and by the look on the stallion's face, it looked like he still wanted to.
"Hello little Mind Twist." He sneered. "Having fun being one of the freaks in here?"
"No. No more." Mind Twist's said weakly. "Please...just this one day, no more...no more." She wheezed.
"No more? Well that's great to hear since this is your last day." He laughed evily. "To be alive." He laughed again. "I see that dagger, no need to hide it from me."
Mind Twist moved it from her back and pointed it at him. "I might as well use it then." She said.
"Oh silly Mind Twist, have you forgotten how to share?" He suddenly grabbed the dagger from her and stabbed her arm.
Mind Twist gasped and clutched her arm, trying to stop the blood.
"What? Did you think I forgot about our little night visit a few years ago?" He laughed and clutched her throat. He leaned and whispered to her. "I wanted to kill you right then and there. But the guys wouldn't let me. So when I heard there was a little opening to spend time with my favorite little freak, I happily volunteered." His warm breath filled her ear. "I've been waiting all this time."
He slowly started poke the dagger in her stomach, but Mind Twist kicked him in the face. The stallion went backward, dagger still in hoof. Mind dragged herself to the right corner near the door.
"Help. Help!" She called. She coughed up blood violently.
"Oh they can't hear you silly pony." The stallion's nose was bleeding but it didn't keep him from having a creepy smile on his lips. He came up to her a raised the dagger in the air, ready to strike. "Nopony will hear the screams."
He struck, but Mind Twist grabbed his arm. She struggled, but bent his arm towards himself, so that the very tip of the bloody dagger pierced his chest. A single drop of blood flowed from the stallion.
"They'll hear yours." Mind Twist said softly with a sad smile. Then she pushed the dagger into his heart.
The stallion's eyes widened and he clutched the dagger. He pulled it out, and saw that it was covered in blood. He gasped at the sight, then weakly lowered himself onto the ground, not removing his hoof from his heart. He stiffened, and his arm dropped to the floor.
He was dead.
Mind Twist couldn't move. She stayed frozen in place as she realize what she had done. Then her entire body started shaking. She had killed him.
Now you're really going to get it. The voice told her.
She didn't respond. She only continued to stare at the body, not even noticing that the blood on the dagger she was holding was covering her hooves. Everything seemed covered in red. The walls, the dagger, even a few splotches on the window.
As Mind Twist sat in shock, the door slowly opened, revealing Misses and Redheart. They gasped at what they saw. They too were shocked at the sight, and said nothing for a good thirty seconds.
"Oh my Celstia." Misses broke the silence. She looked back at the hallway behind her. "Nurse! Nurse! We need paramedics!!" Misses called. A bit of fear could be heard from her voice but it changed when the paramedics came.
The rest of the Insane, who were supposed to be going to their next meal, had stopped to see what had happened.
As the staff took the body away, Misses gasped when she saw the dagger in Mind Twist's hoof.
"Mind Twist what have you done? That was my son!!" She said fearfully. The pegasus remained in the same position, but finally spoke.
"Filly killer." Her voice cracked.
"What?"
"Filly killer!" She cried. She continued shaking in fright.
Misses looked at Nurse Redheart, then turned back to the mentally unstable pegasus. Misses cleared her throat, and struggled as she tried to remain calm.
"Mind Twist, from this day forward you are never allowed beyond these walls ever again." She told the pegasus. She turned to the others. "And for the rest of you, DON'T. LET. HER. OUT. She's a monster." She said sharply.
Redheart looked at Mind Twist, and saw how bad her injuries were. She pulled out a first aid kit from her saddle bag and slipped it behind the door. Mind Twist shifted, her tail touched the kit, and stopped trembling.
Misses walked out of the room, oblivious to Redheart's act. The nurse followed the unicorn and they turned towards Mind Twist.
"Goodbye Mind Twist." Misses said, avoiding eye contact. She reached for the door handle.
Mind Twist looked up at the sound of her name. She looked at each of the ponies, the ones that she had a connection with.
Redheart frowned sadly at her.
Screw Loose whimpered.
Screwball met her eyes, then looked away.
Luna held her gaze, with a sad frown and tears in eyes.
Derpy winced.
Then Mind Twist looked at Pinkie. The pony's hair was straight and tears were flowing from her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Mind heard her whisper.
Mind Twist said nothing, just a sad frown as she looked at the floor.
When she looked up again, the last thing she saw was Pinkie's bright blue eyes, then complete darkness.
