//------------------------------// // To See You Again 2/2 // Story: Mind Twist: The First of The Insane // by TwistedSkittles //------------------------------// Please Mommy and Daddy. Save me. Save me from the monster. He keeps hunting me. I can hear His panting as He runs in the darkness. I can hear the screams as He feeds. It is taking my sanity away. He feeds on our desire to escape. It's what keeps Him alive. He's going to win. Excuse me, I'm trying to ignore that. I have sudden thoughts of Him. I have nothing else to do so I guess I will write another journal entry. Nurse Redheart slipped me this journal and pen as she teleported my food. I literally owe her my life. She gave me a first aid kit, full of bandaids and cloths and wipes. But a first aid kit can only do so much. I will always have most of my injuries. Most have healed and transformed into scars. My bones are still sore from being broken, I never got any casts. I lost a lot of blood the day that filly killer visited me, but I am doing much better. The only thing on my mind is to get better. As soon as I am healed I am certain I will go insane from staying inside forever. I slowly am already. ...... Mind Twist dropped the pen from her mouth. She reread her newest entry, then her second to last. She used her nose to close the journal and scanned the room. Darkness. Mind's ears pricked up as she heard something shuffle quietly. It came from inside the room. The pegasus shivered of the thought of not being alone in the darkness. It was Him, she was sure of it. She shivered again. Mind Twist quietly placed a hoof on the cold metal door. It was so dark that she could not see the hoof in front of her, but she always knew where the door had been. Just three doors till freedom. She thought to herself. It was not the nasty voice she had heard long ago. It was her soft quiet voice, and Mind Twist realized she had said the phrase out loud instead of in her head. It was the first words she had spoken since the incident. Since had killed Misses's son and was locked in her cell forever. There was no point in talking to anypony. There was nopony to talk to. Mind Twist sighed again. She lowered her hoof to the cold floor. She turned her body away, so that her back was facing the door. "I am I ever going to see anypony again? Or is it just me?” Before she came to the Wing, she was never left alone. her parents always would be there, making sure something dangerous wouldn’t happen. “We can’t have you wandering off. Who knows what would happen, you could get killed, or somepony could take you away and you would never be seen again.” Her mother’s soft voice echoed. Flying through the Everfree as a filly had been the first time she was unattended. Mind Twist nearly laughed at the irony. Her parents might have been overprotective, but that hadn’t kept her from wanting to wander off, to spend a little time alone to explore. They always warned her from the terrible ponies, the maniacs and the killers. And now she was locked up with them. Mind Twist felt her eyes watering. She blinked them away and turned her head to look at her flank. It was still blank. She had never found her special talent. The rest of the Insane had theirs. Whether it was a bloody knife or screw and a baseball. A mare, who had committed suicide long ago, once had a bloody church bell as her cutie mark. She had once been the bell ringer for the church, but had gone completely deaf. She started to go in shock as ponies avoided her, not wanting to deal with a deaf qpony. She tried to kill her mother, and her family brought her here. Mind turned her head towards the wall. She could no longer keep the tears from coming. She cried silently to herself. Something shifted in the darkness. Mind Twist ignored it, until she saw a bright light pour in. She raised her head. Her body went tense, thinking it a guard. She slowly turned her head towards the source. The door was opened, with a large group of ponies standing in the doorway. Mind Twist wipe her tears away as she saw the others of the Insane, six ponies she did not recognize, and a rainbow pegasus who she recognized from her fillyhood. When nopony moved, Princess Luna stepped forward. She walked in so that she was half way from the door and pegasus, and a sad smile on her lips. "It's okay. You're finally free."
