CHAPTER 48
Fear not, faithful readers! Even though the keyboard on my laptop is broken, I still have a USB keyboard! I can still write! This is going to make gaming a bit of a problem, though... I need a new laptop. Soon.
(Third Person)
Kyle had been unconscious for almost a day at this point. Dashie had come home and noticed him asleep on the couch, and passed it off as nothing. But then he started screaming out in fear. She was scared witless, so she did the first thing that came to mind: She took him to Twilight.
"How long has he been like this Rainbow?"
Dashie shrugged. "I think he's been asleep for a few hours. He was like this when I got home, but he started screaming like he was being tortured. I tried to wake him up, but it's like he's stuck sleeping or something."
Twilight started flipping through books, and began to get more and more frustrated until she finally found the spell. Or at least something similar. "I think someone may have locked him in his own mind. He's reacting as if he were still awake, and he can't wake up. I've never seen this spell, but I've heard of it before. I could probably go in there and pull him out. I know the spell, I've practiced on Spike."
Dashie nodded vigorously. "Yes, please! I'm really worried about him..."
Twilight's horn began to glow, and she took a deep breath, slowly lowering it to Kyle's forehead.
"Wait. Can't you take me in too?" Twilight stopped, and stared at Dashie.
"Are you sure?"
Dashie nodded again, and Twilight started up the spell, the glow enveloping Dashie too. They both felt a tingling sensation, and then felt like they were being pulled apart. It wasn't painful, it was just a very weird pulling feeling. They both blacked out, and were pulled into the depth's of Kyle's mind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dashie was the first to wake up. She felt like she couldn't breath, but she didn't feel like she was choking. It was a really weird feeling. She saw Kyle walking down a stone corridor, but when she walked towards him, an unseen force wouldn't allow her to get close. All she could do was sit back and watch.
"Oh... Are we in?" Twilight stood up, and rubbed her head. "That really took it out of me- Hang on a second."
Dashie cocked her eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
Twilight closed her eyes, and her horn began to glow. Her eyes shot open in shock. "There's magic blocking us from actually getting to Kyle. He doesn't even know we're here. All we can do is sit here and watch... The magic is like a lock. We can get in, but we can't get close to Kyle, and now we can't get out until Kyle gets out."
Dashie nodded, and looked back to Kyle. He was reading something on a slip of paper he'd picked up, and then stuffed it into his jacket, saying something about Rarity and a sacrifice. "I can't hear him. I think he's trying to be quiet... He looks pretty spooked. What could be getting to him?"
Twilight's horn was glowing again. "Rainbow... You know that place in your mind where you push anything that makes you sad or scares you so you can forget about them?"
Dashie nodded again, and then her eyes widened. "You mean that's where we are? That part of Kyle's mind?"
"Mhm." Twilight stared at Kyle, who was now opening a door as slowly as he could. "I'm really worried. Who knows what's locked away here?"
"I don't know. He never really talks to me about his life before he came here. If I ever try to bring it up, he pretty much dodges the subject."
Twilight furrowed her brow, and slowly slipped into deep thought. "Well... There may or may not be remnants of his past here. The things we see will be things that he hated, was terrified of, or was deeply saddened by, or a combination of the three. I guess we're gonna find out."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(First Person)
I slowly opened the door, which led to a small room, consisting of four bookshelves, a desk, and a cupboard.
"Tee hee hee..." I looked around to locate the source of the voice, but before I knew it, a bookshelf was making its way towards me. I threw myself out of the way, and saw a pink blur race out of the room. I knew who it was, and I was terrified beyond imagining.
"Twilight got Pinkie too..."
I picked myself up, and opened the drawers on the desk, but before I could see what was in them, my lantern ran out of oil.
"Aw, dammit..." I'd lost some of my oil when Fluttershy knocked me out, and I used almost all of it to fill the lantern back up. I only had three vials of the stuff left. I decided that instead of using my lantern again, I'd just light the candles with a few tinderboxes. I had three left after that, and the room was well-lit. It made me feel a bit more comfortable, but I knew it wasn't safe anymore.
"The dark drives me nuts, but the light isn't safe... Man I hate it here."
I checked the drawers, and I got a single vial of that blue stuff. Sanity Potion. My head was hurting, so I decided to chug it down. My vision washed white, and my headache went away, my mind clearing. I could think straight, and I felt more alert. I searched around the room a bit more, and realized that there was a painting on the wall.
"Idea..."
I yanked it off of the wall, and sure enough, there was a small space behind it, with a lever... And a golden statue of a man, kneeling, his sword drawn, blade to the ground.
"Stephano!" I grabbed the little statue, feeling safer for some reason. "Well, I feel a bit better... Stephano, you're coming with me." I stuffed him into the chest pocket of my jacket, but he stuck out a bit. I didn't care. I pulled the lever, and the desk, and the floor beneath it, and the ceiling above it, and the wall behind it all began to shift, revealing a stone staircase leading upwards.
"Onwards and upwards... Allons-y." I took a deep breath, and started climbing up it. It was lit up by torches, and I kept looking behind me, expecting something to start chasing after me. I was scared, alone, and paranoid. I felt as if I were being watched.
"Damn this place is creepy... If only Stephano could actually talk. That'd supply more comfort."
I reached the top of the stairs, and there was a large metal door in front of me. There was a sign on it that said "Laboratory." I knew that I would probably run into Twilight soon. I swallowed hard, and opened the door.
(Stop the music)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Third Person)
Twilight had a scared look on her face. "Was that pink blur Pinkie?"
Dashie nodded. "Yeah. That little laugh of hers... I recognized the voice. But why'd she drop a bookcase on Kyle? Is she trying to kill him or something? And if these are supposed to be things that make Kyle feel bad, why's Pinkie even here? I mean, she's the party pony! She makes everypony happy."
"I don't know, Rainbow. But I don't like what's going on. Not one bit. I think there's more to this than what we're seeing. I mean, this is the mind of a sentient being. There's bound to be loads of things here. We're only at the tip of the iceberg."
"Yeah, I get that, Twilight. It's just..." Dashie sat down on her haunches. "I feel like we're invading his privacy, you know? I mean, this is his mind, what right do we have to be in here? I know he's locked in here, but still. It just doesn't feel right, like we shouldn't be here. I feel like we're going to learn things we should never have learned..."
Twilight was surprised. Dashie was usually very eager to figure out things like this, that much was evident from the Mare Do Well incident a few years back. "Well, Rainbow, think of it this way: Even if we shouldn't learn them, at least we can learn more about Kyle, and his past."
Dashie's ears perked up. "Huh. You're right. I guess it's fine, but I'm still a little bugged by all of this. I just hope he doesn't get hurt."
Interesting, they are in his nightmare thingy, I like what you're doing with this.
I see what reference you made there!
i wish it was longer ;(
I just hope he doesn't get hurt, proberly not gona like what shes gona see later on
Wait, let me get this straight:
Kyle is dreaming and both Twi and Dashie is in his dream, dreaming.

Dammit Pinkie, why you try to kill Kyle?
416866 pretty much its seems

"Stefano!" I grabbed the little statue, feeling safer for some reason.
i laughed so hard at that, and how did i know you would make a reference to pewdiepie
Yay!
And next thing you know, Teleporting Naked Guys and Barrels!
(hinthint, the barrels help you fight Twilight) XD
Ummm, I saw two question marks so is that my ipad or something else?
oooOOOoooo now this is getting interesting with twilight and dash watching themselves eventually.
creepy......
I didn't know you watch pewdiepie.. nice reference though, it made my day
416866
That's pretty awesome.
How come you aren't in the story anymore. We haven't had an update about you for a while!
417136
Yes, someone forgot about me....
I asked him a few times via skype but no...
I hope you read this Kyle! I'm angry at you from now!
417164
Yeah Kyle!
I mean... if that's.. okay.. with... you?
417125 it made mine too
Once Twilight sees evil Twilight there's no going back

How? I have no money, and I can't get a job because all the places I can work are a few miles from my house, and I'm too young to drive. And my parents don't do allowances. They want me to actually earn money with real work, not household chores.
418794 i know how you feel bro, my parents do the same to me as well. one last thing, isn't your USB keyboard working fine for writing and playing games?
418825
For writing, yes. But for games... I don't have a USB mouse, so I have to use the trackpad on the laptop... It's a real pain, because I can't hold the USB keyboard and laptop at the same time. I just change the controls on the games so they don't use the broken keys. So I'm fine.
419075 I give you 5 out of 5 moustaches, good sir.
Is Pewdiepie that commentator no one talks about? Because nobody mentions him unless someone makes a reference or something. and it seems that everyone knows him
419075 you might want to respond to Zephyr now...
what/who is pewdiepie?
...the irony is suffocating me to the point of thinking this is just reallly weird couincidences, this is just.....why...just...why. some that don't know, its about the reference to PewDiePie. I watch him a month ago or a week, i don't know, but every time I turn around someone's making a reference to a famous person.....it happens to often. Lord help this super irony!
Why did this chapter seem much shorter than the rest? Oh well, it was great nonetheless. Can't wait for Twilight and Dashie to realize what... Well, herself and her friends are doing to Kyle >:)
at the start of the week is one i started watching pewdiepie
me and my freinds kept referencing him after that
now you just referenced him
*le gasp* YOU MUST BE A LONG LOST FRINED THAT I NEVER HAD
419824 PewDiePie is a funny commentator that play's Amnesia, Happy wheels and many more scary games! Even though Happy Wheels seems more like a bloody line rider. Anyway, he gave these names to certain inanimate objects or he just blurts out certain things when he plays Amnesia. For example:
When he gets up close to barrels: BARRELS! (He litteraly yells out barrels then chucks any barrels near him away from him)
When he gets up close to a suit of armor: I don't trust you! (After saying that, he yanks the suits helmet off)
When he finds a chair and is hiding from a monster: Chair mode activated. BOOP! (He usually grabs a chair then puts it in front of him afterwards)
When he finds a pig carcass: Piggeh! (He then sometimes wiggles the carcass around saying "gettin' pumped up! Get pumped up!" afterwards)
When he finds a gold statue kneeling with a sword: Stephano! (Stephano is his most talkative partner. second most talkative is Chair then it's Piggeh)
TOO. SHORT. CHAPTER!
God, I hate to think of what the girls are going to find... Ugh.
PewDiePie~!!!

And then PewDiePie comes out of nowhere and says "HEY! WHO ARE YOU!? WHY DO YOU HAVE STEPHANO!? WHY ARE THERE PONY MONSTERS EVERYWHERE!? ARE YOU WITH THE BARRELS!?" I would LOL hysterically if that was actually put into the next chapter (Fluttershy: Hahahaha! (Me: FLUTTERSHY! Tone it down plea..... wait.... what are you laughing at. (Fluttershy: Um nothing. (Me: I'm coming into the computer room (Fluttershy: Nonono wait (Fluttershy's Laptop: Chairmode activate BOOP. (Me: No way. ARE YOU WATCHING PEWDIEPIE!? (Fluttershy: Maybe..... (Me: AWESOME!
P.S.--- CAN SOMEONE MAKE A MAP OF THIS.

Torrie's voice is in his head (Obviously) but Kyle speaks out loud.
428502 Sooo... What hasn't there been an incident yet where people were wondering why he was talking to himself like that?
428572
He's always alone when it happens. Torrie plans to talk to Kyle only when he is alone, because he knows that Kyle won't ask for help, and will end up falling right into a trap.
When will he realize that it's HIS mind and that he is God in there? Or is that not the case?
428701
Not the case. You see, he was locked away in that little section of your mind where you send things that scare you, make you sad, etc. and that part of your mind is constantly running rampant. You really can't control it, ergo, Kyle has no control over the situation.
431047
Because it's still the fact that he'd sent a pony to death. Even if he was a bastard, Kyle still played a part in his death.
