//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Pinkamena Takes Over // by MrE380 //------------------------------// Pinkie stared at her speechless, soon she saw Pinkamena in the mirror which was behind Twilight. She kept her eye on Twilight but when Twilight eyes were off Pinkie she would take a look at Pinkamena, the time was near Pinkamena was trying to call out. "So, you know about my past?" Pinkie asked. "Yes, I know about your father and what he did to you, and I know what happen." Twilight replied. Twilight could feel tension in the room which made her feel uneasy. She hoped she didn't make things worse. Pinkie was looking at the floor thinking; she could hear Pinkamena but was ignoring her, for now. "So, why are you here? To tell me what I already know? What I wish I could forget?" Pinkie asked with an upset look. Twilight could see how upset Pinkie was; she never saw her upset like this before. "I came to comfort you; your past is too much for any pony to deal with alone." Twilight told her. Pinkie was staring at her confused, she didn't know what to say or think. "Pinkie, I'm sorry I helped you remember, but it'll be OK you don't need to worry about the past." Twilight told her trying to comfort her. Pinkie sighed, and then stared at her with a look that made Twilight nervous. "Comfort me? Twilight look, I can't just forget or ignore my past, not after what I di..." Pinkie stopped before she told Twilight about that pony she killed. "Pinkie that's not what I'm saying, I'm saying you don't need to worry about it. You have friends now that you can talk too. That's why I'm here...to help you." Twilight replied. Pinkie didn't know whether to believe her or not, she looked at Pinkamena who at still in the mirror. "She's lying...Pinkie...don't trust her...like you did the friends you had before..." Pinkamena told her. Only Pinkie could hear Pinkamena because Pinkiamena is only in her mind, no pony else can see her, feel her, or hear her besides Pinkie. Pinkie sighed once more; she looked at Twilight and said. "This is all your fault..." Pinkie told her. "I know..." Twilight replied looking down. "And I'm sorry I made you remember, if I knew about your past I would've..." "Would've what? Hurt me too?" Pinkie interrupted. "What? Hurt you? Why would I hurt you Pinkie? You're my friend." Twilight replied nervous and shocked. "Because the friends I had as a filly did! And I trusted them like I do you and the others, how can I tell you won't hurt me too!" Pinkie told her. Twilight was stepping backwards a little; she made things a lot worse than they were. "Pinkie I would never hurt you, promise." Twilight told her. Pinkie looked at Pinkamena then back at Twilight. "...Pinkamena said not to trust you." She told Twilight. Twilight was confused and looked around but saw no pony. "Who's Pinkamena? Isn't that your real name?" Twilight asked. "No...Pinkamena is the real me, the one daddy and the others formed when they hurt me..." Pinkie replied. Twilight was shocked and was about to go into her flight mode. "I don't follow." She replied confused. "I don't expect you to understand...I'm not Pinkamena anymore but...but she won't leave me alone..." Pinkie replied. Twilight was starting to think that Pinkie was going insane. "Pinkie, you sound like you're going insane. Your old self is...another mind or something?" Twilight asked. "I may be insane...I don't know I feel like I am sometimes..." Pinkie replied with a little bit of a sad look on her face. "Pinkie, if you want we can get you help." Twilight told her. "Thanks Twilight, but...it's too late for that." Pinkie told her. Twilight had a confused look; this wasn't what she wanted to happen. "Pinkie, I can ask the princess to get you help, if you need it." She told her. Pinkie looked up at her, she was sad but very unstable if you say the wrong word you can set her off but what was that one word that you can't say? "I had friends as a filly...I trusted them like I do you and the others, but they hurt me too. How can I be sure you won't?" Pinkie asked. "Because I'm your friend Pinkie, and I promise cross my heart hope to fly and stick a cupcake in my eye promise I won't." Twilight replied with a smile. "Don't listen to her...she's lying Pinkie...trust is hard to take and give...test her..." Pinkamena told Pinkie. Pinkie stared at Twilight thinking, if she tells her what she did last night and still won't do anything to hurt her, or tell others then maybe she can trust her. "I...I don't know...if you knew what I did then you'll hurt me anyways." Pinkietold her. "I promise I won't, now what is it?" Twilight asked. Pinkie sighed, then without looking at Twilight she told her. "...Last night, me and my other self Pinkamena were arguing, I was so upset by what I remembered and what she was telling me, that when a pony put their hoof on my shoulder...I snapped..." Twilight was worried, she was scared at what might've happen. "What happen Pinkie?" Twilight asked but scared of the answer. "...I KILLED HER!" Pinkie yelled out. Twilight jumped back out of fear, she was now in full flight mode. You have two modes in your body, fight or flight, in a situation these mods take over your body and sometimes giving you the strength of a supper athlete. "I-I didn't mean too Twilight...honest I didn't...everything went black and I didn't know I did it, until it was too late." Pinkie told her. Twilight didn't know what to think, she was too scared of her friend now. She knew what she says now had to be true or it'll make things worse. "Pinkie, you killed some pony?" Twilight asked. "I didn't mean to hurt her..." Pinkie replied. "Pinkie, we need to tell the princess about this." That was one of the few words that Twilight shouldn't have said but it comes as a natural reaction for her. "NO TWILIGHT! If ponies finds out I'll have to take therapy or be hospitalized again! And I won't go through those things again I just won't!" Pinkie snapped. Twilight was backing up out of fear, she shouldn't have said that. "W-Where are you going Twilight? Please don't leave me..." Pinkie begged. It's hard to tell but Pinkie was changing her voice a little bit, and her mind was beginning to split more and more. "Pinkie, you need help, I don't know how but you need help." Twilight relied. Pinkie sighed once more, she knew Pinkamena was right. "I knew she was right...you are gonna hurt me..." Pinkie told her. "No Pinkie, I wanna help you before you hurt yourself or any other pony." Twilight replied. "Then don't tell any pony! Just keep this as a secret...a secret between friends..." Pinkie begged her. "How can I? I can't just take that one of my closest friends killed some pony and do nothing!" Twilight told her. "I told you...Pinkie...she isn't a true friend...hehehehahaha...you know what to do..." Pinkamena told Pinkie. Pinkie looked at Twilight then at the floor. "...Sorry Twilight..." Pinkie told her. "It's OK Pinkie, now I'm going to tell the princess that it was an accident, and maybe, everything will be OK. Wait right here." Twilight told her. Twilight turned around to walk out the door and went to the stairs, but right as she got to the stairs she was pushed. As she hit the floor she was about to black out, the last thing she saw was Pinkie walking down the stairs with her mane and tail flatten. Later that night Twilight was starting to regain consciousness and her head was in pain a little. She tried to open her eyes but her vision was blurry. After a few minutes she tried to move but couldn't. She soon felt that her arms hanging above her head and her legs were apart. Soon lights came on blinding her, after a few minutes she could make out a pink blur getting closer, it took a little while but as the blob came closer, she did not know who it was until it was right in front of her. Pinkie or what she calls Pinkamena. "Oh goody you're awake, good..." Pinkie told her. Twilight was scared, she looked around the room to see where she was, but she had no clued what so ever. The room looked like a basement but she couldn't tell where she was. The lights were still hurting her eyes a little since the room was so dark before. She then looked at Pinkie who looked different. Her mane and tail was flattened, and her colors were a darker shade. "P-Pinkie..? Where am I?" Twilight asked in fear. "That's for me to know, for you...to find out." Pinkie replied. Twilight had an thousand thoughts going through her mind, she was scared. "Pinkie, why are you doing this? This isn't like you." Twilight asked. "Because Pinkamena says I got too." Pinkie replied. Twilight just had a thought, maybe this Pinkamena Pinkie pie is talking about, and maybe she thinks she's a double mind or something. Of course Twilight had doubts about that, but maybe Pinkie thinks she does have another mind. Either way Twilight needed to get Pinkie to let her go, but most likely she won't. Maybe she needed to ask her about Pinkamena. "Pinkie, who is Pinkamena and why are you listening to her?" Twilight asked. She knew the more she knew about this Pinkamena, the better chance she had to get Pinkie to stop listening to her. If she was even real. "Pinkamena, is the real me as she calls herself. I thought I left her behind with my past, but after I started to remember she came back." Pinkie told her. "And she's the only one I can really trust." Pinkie continued. "O-OK..." Twilight replied. Twilight didn't believe that Pinkie indeed had another mind, or that Pinkamena was even real, but to Pinkie she is, and she needed to get her to not to listen to Pinkamena anymore. "And why did Pinkamena tell you, to do this?" Twilight asked. "Because, she says this is your entire fault that you needed to pay...She's evil..." Pinkie told her. "Then don't listen to her, Pinkie listen. You don't need to listen to Pinkamena she's not you." Twilight replied. Pinkie didn't want to believe her, she was scared. Scared of being hurt again and of herself, she just wanted this to end and according to Pinkamena, killing Twilight was the only way. "Pinkie please...don't do this, the only one hurting you is Pinkamena." Twilight told her. "Don't say that!" Pinkie snapped. "She's me, and even tho I hate her I can't get rid of her since she's me." Pinkie told her. "No she's not! Think about it Pinkie! I can't tell you if she isn't real or not, but what I can tell you is that you don't have to listen to her!" Twilight told her with a slight urgency in her throat of desperation trying to get into her friend head. "You should listen to you and only you, she's saying I'll hurt you but I won't! Pinkie Pie I promised you, remember losing a friend's trust is the fastest way to lose a friend?" Twilight explained. Pinkie just then became speechless and more confused than ever. She forgot all about that. But she still didn't know what to do. She heard Pinkamena trying to tell her to kill Twilight before she tells her more lies, but Pinkie didn't know who to listen too. Twilight could see how Pinkie was feeling by the pain in her eyes, this was all her fault. If she didn't used her memory spell this never would had happen. She needed to make it right. "I'm sorry Pinkie." Twilight told her. Pinkie was caught off guard by that, if Twilight would had said those words sooner then maybe they wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. "Why are you sorry?" Pinkie asked. "Because this is all my fault, I made you remembered by using my memory spell, and I'm sorry for everything, but you don't need to hurt me or others. That's not you Pinkie. The Pinkie pie I know and loved as a friend is kind, friendly, and ever so random." Twilight told her. Just then Pinkie started to think about her life ever since she moved here. She forgot all about her new memories ever since she started to remember her past, she wasn't like this and she wasn't Pinkamena anymore. Just then she knew she needed to stop living in the past. "Oh my gosh your right! I've been thinking about the past too much and forgot all about my new memories!" Pinkie said starting to feel happy again and her mane and tail went back to normal. "That's good Pinkie, see you don't need to worry about the past now that you have a new life, Pinkamena is just trying to get you to stay hurt so she can control you." Twilight told her. Pinkie was starting to think Twilight was right, even though Pinkie was hurt by remembering her past; she wasn't like she is now until Pinkamena showed up. Pinkamena was trying to get her to think every pony wanted to her hurt, but it wasn't until she killed that pony that she started to listen. She had let her fear go way too far, and she needed to get rid of Pinkamena before ponies are hurt. "I'm sorry Twilight, guess I let my feelings get the best of me." Pinkie told her. "It's OK Pinkie that happens to every pony. Now if you can let me go?" Twilight asked starting to feel safe. "Oh, sure thing Twilight, and after that we can tell the princ..." Pinkie was interrupted by a sharp pain in her head. She grabbed her head as it got worse. "AH MY HEAD!" Pinkie yelled out. "Pinkie? What's wrong?" Twilight asked scared again. "It's...my...head...it hurts..." Pinkie cried as she fell to her knees. Soon she started to act like she was fighting something, Twilight was trying to talk to her to get her to calm down, but Pinkie was yelling at herself to much too even hear Twilight. "No...no! NO! STOP IT! I won't...hurt...her..." Pinkie told herself. Soon Pinkie screamed very loud making Twilight's ears hurt. As she stopped screaming she held her head down facing the floor, then her mane and tail flatted again. "P-Pinkie..?" Twilight asked scared again. Pinkie didn't reply, she just stared at Twilight which put Twilight at unease. Soon she smiled which only made Twilight more uncomfortable, she smiled like an insane pony. "Pinkie...isn't here..." Pinkie replied in a different tune of her voice. "What do you mean? You're right there?" Twilight asked confused. Pinkie just started to giggled like she was insane. "Hehehehahahaha...I'm Piknamena..." Pinkie said calling herself Pinkamena. Twilight's eyes widen and got smaller as she was in more fear than ever. "W-What do you m-mean..?" Twilight asked scared. "Pinkie was weak...So I took over..." Pinkamena told her. Twilight was now in full flight mode. "Oh what's wrong..? You're turning so white...hehehehehahaha..." Pinkamena giggled. "I-I don't believe your real...you're just..." "I'm very real Twilight...I made Pinkie kill that pony, and baked her into cupcakes, which the ponies liked them..." Pinkamena told her. Twilight wanted to scream, she baked a pony into cupcakes? She wanted to throw up at that thought. Pinkamena saw that Twilight wanted to throw up at what she just told her, she giggled as she enjoyed other's pain, but Twilight wasn't in pain, yet. Pinkamena reached under a table and took out a knife, which was so shiny it sparkles. Twilight's eyes widen as she saw the knife, she panicked. "Hehehehahaha...oh what's wrong my dear..? You don't like knifes?" Pinkamena mock as she moved the knife side to side slowly like she was trying to hypnotize her. "W-Why are you doing this?" Twilight asked, unable to take her eyes off the knife. Pinkamena giggled, she thought Twilight of all ponies would know by now, shethought maybe she was too scared to think clearly. "Well it's quite simple really...You see I enjoy other's pain, all ponies...no, every living creature deserves it...after what they did to us..." Pinkamena explained. "But...that's not true, you can't hurt others just because..." "But I can, the only ones that didn't hurt us were our sisters. Every...pony else, did...you can't trust no pony or you risk them hurting you." Pinkamena interrupted. "But you can't hurt others just because of that! It's not right! Not every pony will hurt you and even if they do, you shouldn't hurt them!" Twilight told her. Pinkamena just giggled, she was enjoying Twilight's attempt at trying to get to her. "Well this is going on for far too long...as much as I enjoy our talk, I'm afraid it's time..." Pinkamena giggled. Twilight gulped at that, she was starting to have small flash backs as she was very scared. "Hehehe...Oh yes my dear, you're going to die..." Pinkamena laughed. Twilight almost screamed but didn't, she just gulped again in fear. She started to have more flash backs of Pinkie, before this all happen.
