After staring at a blank wall for a few minutes, the sound of a clock ticking brought her back to reality with a gasp. She started to look around, hearing every thump of her heart. Thump thump. Thump thump. Every beat echoing in her head, getting faster and louder, seemingly synchronizing with the dripping of the water that had woken her from her slumber.
With Berry's eyes adjusting to the darkness, she got a better look at the surroundings. It was a square room with four pillars arranged in a square. The projector was between two of the pillars with nothing between the pillars to her right. Turning right again, she saw the desk that had the film between the pillars with the lamp on the left side and a sink and mirror connected to the right pillar. Finally she turned to her right one more time to see...
"A door!" she gasped. She ran to the door and pressed her hoof down on the doorknob. Click. It stopped about half way turned. Berry looked at it in terror. Click. Click. She tried to open it many more times, only to get the same result.
"Locked!?" she whispered as a tear ran down her face. "How can you be locked? You're the only door in the room!" She cried.
As her tears fell to the floor, it only added to the sound of dripping water. In frustration, Berry hit the door as hard as she could, only to flinch at the pain, the door having caused a decent size laceration on her hoof.
Drip drip. Her blood hit the floor, increasing the sound of falling liquid. She'd had it with dripping liquids. She toughened up and stopped crying as she went over to the sink to shut it off. After doing so, she noticed a piece of cloth in the sink. Ding. A small metal object fell out of the cloth as she picked it up. Looking closely, she saw...
"THE KEY" she yelled quickly dropping the cloth to pick up the standard old fashion key. She was about to run to the door to leave before she had a thought.
"There will probably be traps on the other side of the door" She thought recalling all the rumors she had heard. "I should probably clean this cut up" She continued seeing that the cut on her hoof was deeper than she thought.
Wrapping her good hoof in the cloth, she punched the mirror as hard as she could, knocking a good sized chunk of glass out. She cut a part of the cloth into strips and bandaged her hoof.
Standing at the door, key in her mouth, she finally was ready, or, as ready as she'll ever be. After turning the key, she gave herself some motivation by thinking, "I can do anything The Hare throws at me." finally turning the key, the door opened, slowly inward. "Now that's a big door" she said out loud noting it at least a foot thick.
"HELP! CAN'T ANYPONY HEAR ME!?"
Berry was pulled back into reality after hearing a friend’s voice calling for help. She ran down the cold dark corridor behind the door, ready for the first test...
