Hope your enjoying the longer chapters. From the one and only. - ME

Oh yeah... tell me if it is too soon. You'll know what I'm talking about.

No Escape

I opened my eyes to see ponys cowering, not what I wanted to see. I let my arm down, allowing them to move freely.

"You should kill me" This filled each and every one of them with shock.

"Is... that..."

"Yes, it is."

Silense.

"I'm going to go "sleep" by that tree. If I don't wake up I'll understand. If I wake up in a dungeon I'll understand. If you see him, kill him without hesitation"

I now realize they don't really know my plan, well might as well tell them.

"I'm going to go in a self-induced coma. When I wake up he should be gone, or be under control. If I'm not in control. He won. Kill me wthout hesitation. Without question" I didn't wait for them to respond, I went over to the tree I pointed out, the owner of the fucking root. Right before I got started I used electricity to burn a big "FUCK TREES"into the bark. With satisfaction I got started. They were too awestruck by what was happening to do anything. I smiled widely before being encased in darkness.

I appeared in a long, dark hallway. It was difficult to remember my reason being here.

"How clique...couldn't it be something a little more awesome, like a maze?" just like that the hallway began reshaping itself.

"Aww fuck" why did I have to open my big mouth? As I tried to imagine the hallway I got a roaring headache. "WELL FUCK YOU TOO BRAIN"  damn, now I have to stumble my way around.

"left, right, right, left, no it was uh right, left, left, right... aw damn it". I had tried to backtrack to the start as it went to a dead end. Well I'm lost, might as well pick a random direction and say "fuck you maze". I did that and guess what? It worked out. My mind simply amazes me at times. I came across a door, entitled "Fears" it had to be this door huh? The one door I come across happens to be my fears. Fuck you universe. Haven't screwed me over enough already huh?

Well, I am tired of this shit. I'm going in their and I'm going to conquer my fears. If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger right? Right. This can only end well.

"Alistar please don't do it"

"I'm sorry... I can't stop"

"No please, please Pl-"There was a resounding crack as I broke Twilights neck, I looked down at the bodes of my friends. I closed my eyes, hoping it wasn't true. I heard their screams of pain as I tortured some of them, their pained gasps as I sucked the life out of them, their begging... But I couldn't stop, I wasn't in control. This had played over, and over again. Each time worse than the last. Their begging hurting me more and more as time went on. The worst part is... I felt nothing, no satisfaction, pain, or misery. For lack of a better word... I felt cold. I had lost feeling a long time ago. I could hear laughing in the distance. I sighed as the act played out again.

Twilight 3rd person

"Is... he ok?"

"No, ever since he was brought 2 weeks ago, he has been getting worse and worse. We don't know how he is still alive as long as he has gone without nutrients or water. He has been screaming, you might want to consider... putting him out of his misery"

Twilight was the one assigned to help watch over Alistar today. Celestia put him deep in a dungeon/hospital. Alistar was bound, strapped to a chair. He couldn't have gotten out as metal was holding him to it. His hands were bloody from his thrashing about. All his friends felt his pain, as he was fighting a battle on their behalf. One they could not interfere in. They had all taken turns watching him. Fluttershy really had it bad, as she had continued crying several days after her turn. So Celestia and Luna filled in her spot when the others were not around.

They had all tried everything they could to make his stay more bearable. Pinkie had even tried to make him a party. But it wasn't allowed. It was deemed "a threat to security" by the warden. He was times at heard crying, or laughing. It was hard to decide if they should free him from his pain. But they couldn't do it. They still had hope.

"Can.. I go in?"

"Sure, but if he breaks out and strangles you don't blame me" said the warden, a Unicorn almost pure white, mane and all. This was a low blow, it was well known what had happened involving them all. Without dignifying that with a response Twilight walked through the iron door. A quite expensive metal, as they had yet to industrialize the metal industry. Alistar was in the center of the room, unmoving. He couldn't move much anyway as both of his hands and feet are clad in iron. They had some difficulty with his claw hand, but were able to sufficiently bind it. He was bleeding all over the floor, they had to constantly heal him with magic and antibiotics as many times as his wrists were rubbed raw. There are leather straps across his chest, further preventing him from moving. It was a safety precaution, for him as well as the ponys around him. Once he panics, the straps are the one thing keeping him from breaking his own neck.

"Hello"

Twilight was dumbstruck. Alistar's eyes were still closed, his lips unmoving. It seemed to appear in her own mind.

"Indeed it is"

Twilight panicked, she ran for the door, but as hard as she pulled it wouldn't budge. The ponys on the other side of the glass seemed to know that something was wrong, The door would not move from either way. As if it was held by magic.

"What do you w-want" Twilight stammered. This seemed to cause the voice great amusement.

"Haha" it chuckled " All I want is for you to come closer"

Twilight was moving towards the chair against her own will. She tried to fight it but couldn't.

"Yes just a little closer" Twilight was terrified to say the least. What was it going to do  her? "Oh I'm not going to do anything" it boomed in her head "That is Alistars job" Alistar's body opened its eyes. Twilight gasped, his one blue eye was nearly red. He had near full control. She felt herself feel light headed. She collapsed right there on the ground, as darkness surrounded her.

Warden 3rd person

"Someone get that door open!"

"We're trying sir, but it wont budge"

The warden growled, he wasn't going to let that little Filly die at the hands of that thing.

"You, go get the Princesses" He shouted at the nearest guard "Tell them there is a problem with the prisoner, it involves one of the elements of harmony"

"Yes sir" the earth pony replied dutifully. The warden quickly forgot the other guards presence, he expected the job to get done, and get done right.

The warden concentrated his horn on the door, pushing with all his strength. Not even an inch. He was going to have his work cut out for him.

Alistar 1st person

"Why can't I just die? I have had enough of this" I had watched this far too many times. I had even taken the initiative to kill my friends out of choice, it was far better than allowing them to be tortured. I had killed them all but one. Twilight. It had to be her huh? I had quickly killed the others, painless, one simple snap of the neck. They didn't even know what happened. None of them even had time to fear. Execpt Twilight. She had run, I felt guilt for letting her feel fear. But if I didn't kill her I will lose control and torture her. It seemed all too realistic.

I heard crying ahead, I felt guilt, but she will thank me for what I'm about to do. "Don't do it Alistar" she begged "You are not a monster"

"I am, I am only doing this the least painful way for you as possible"

"But I'm REAL, you don't have to do this"

"Your'e not real, this is a nightmare, it can't end untill Shelden is satisfied. I'm sorry, but it is either this or he takes control and tortures you."

"What do I have to do to convince you this is real?

" "Nothing, because this isn't real"

"You have yet to kill me, so you must believe there is a chance I'm real"

"Don't make this harder than it is. This hurts me as well"

"I AM REAL, come and tell me I'm not, I have memories from before I met you, your mind can't fabricate what it does not know"

"How do I know your not lying?"

"You... don't"

I put my left hand around her throat. She squirmed, with those all to big eyes. It felt so real... her fur so soft. Can I really kill my friends? Well, I already have, they just haven't realized it yet.

To my surprise, Twilight leaned forward, and gave me a quick peck on the lips. I dropped her, this was something I had never thought of... she was definitely real.

"Twilight"

"Yes..."

"It is you... Isn't it"

She nodded.

I bent over and cried, I had almost REALLY killed one of my friends. I could never forgive myself if it really happened. In fact, I CAN'T forgive myself for almost doing it. Twilight hummed a "It's ok". I gave a half hug with my left arm. I couldn't risk hurting her with my claw. I couldn't help but sing... damn do I always go to that when I'm depressed?  

I can't escape this hell

So many times I've tried

But I'm still caged inside

Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me

No one will ever change this animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal!

This animal, this animal

I can't escape myself

So many times I've lied

But there's still rage inside

Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me

No one will ever change this animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal I have become

Twilight started humming quitetly along, I smiled in thanks.

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

Somebody wake me from this nightmare

I can't escape this hell

This animal, this animal

This animal, this animal

This animal, this animal

This animal

So what if you can see the darkest side of me

No one will ever change this animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal I have become

Help me believe it's not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal!

This animal I have become

I knew she would be there for me. That is all that matters. Perhaps there was hope after all?

***

I awoke groggy, I heard a door bang open, metal of some kind. Oh no... I was restrained. Well what did I expect? If I wasn't restrained there would probably be people dead. Even if it had nothing to do with me losing my fight with Sheldon. I could hardly notice the hoof pressing into my throat, I was panicking far too much. I heard some type of yelling then... nothing... darkness.
