RUBY'S POV

I didn't know where I was or what was going to happen to me but I knew I had to get myself and Rainbow Dash out of here. I had a pretty good idea who had done this but I didn't want to think about that. I looked around. It was dark and the air was thick, which made it hard to breathe. I assumed I was in some sort of basement based on this and the small windows. I couldn't hear anything besides my own heartbeat and breathing. I looked around for a light switch, a way out, anything. There was none. I sat on my flank and thought for a moment. It didn't seem like Dash was here with me so there must have been more rooms. I got up and walked to a wall. I knocked on it softly.

No reply.

I knocked again, this time with more gusto.

No reply.

I banged on all the the walls with all my might. I went to every wall I ran into and shouted, "Dash! Can you hear me!? Answer!" There were no bangs or shouts to aid my confidence. I slumped onto the cold, hard floor in a heap. I felt like crying now. This was something because I NEVER felt like crying. I soon fell asleep. My dream was horrible.

"Ruby."

"Huh?"

"Ruby."

"Who is that?"

"Ruby."

"Dash?"

"Ruby."

"Is that you? Dash?"

"Ruby!"

"Dash, is that you!?"

"Ruby!"

"If its you, its starting to creep me out."

"Ruby!"

"Why are you yelling?"

"Ruby!"

"Where are you? I need to find you!"

"RUBY!!!"

"RAINBOW DASH, where ARE you!!!??"

"RUBY!!!"

"Why wont you answer me!!!??"

"RUBY!!!"

"WHAT!!! What do you want? Your obviously NOT Rainbow Dash."

"Ruby . . . "

A dark figure came into view. There was a liquid dripping from it but I couldn't see what it looked like. I was frozen into place. What if it was Dash? What if she was hurt? I would have to help her. But . . . what if it WASN'T her? I would be in danger. I don't know what this person or pony was capable of or what his/her angle was. I could possibly put Dash in danger too. The figure moved towards me slowly. I backed away.

"Stay back!"

" . . . "

"Who are you? Where is Rainbow Dash?"

"I know . . ."

"What . . ?"

"I know of . . . you."

"How? Who are you?"

"He will return. Don't wake up."

"What!? No!"

"Do you hear me!?" the figure lifted its head and stepped closer to me so I could see its face. I gasped. It was Dash! Her face was burnt and charred. It looked looked she was a living corpse. Her eyes were sunken deep in her skull and skin and flesh fell off like a snake sheds its skin. Her wings fluttered and I heard sickening cracks.

"What happened to you!?"

"Don't wake up!"

"Who did this to you!?"

"Don't wake up, do you hear me? He will come to you and take your purity with him when he leaves."

"I don't understand. I can't stay here. I might as well be dead if I sleep forever."

"Don't wake up."

"Who is 'he' exactly?"

"Oh no."

"What?"

"Your body is being disturbed. Don't wake up!"

"I- I'm trying! I can't stay asleep! Help me Dash!"

"I wont. I see it all now. Your fate is decided."

"Your not making sense, Dash!"

"I am NOT Rainbow Dash. I am you and not you."

"What!!!???"

"Good- bye."

                                                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I felt myself awakening. I tried to fight it, just like Dash- er- me but not me . . ?- asked. I couldn't do it. I was still waking up. I opened my eyes and gasped. This was the worst possible thing that could ever happen to me besides my strange dream. I saw a pony, but not any pony. There was red eyes, black mane plus black and red tail, a crooked smile upon a perfectly squared jaw and a toned, muscled and red body. It was Jason.

"Hello, Ruby. Long time no see." Shit!

The ass hole was fixing his fucking tie and standing over me in a perverted way . . . this CANT be good. Fuck. . . . . . . Next Chapter: Escape . . . but with a price Estimated time remaining: 26 Minutes
