The cobble clicked under my hooves and I stumbled awkwardly down the street. It had been a least an hour of solid running through dense forest but I finally saw the outskirts of a small town as I emerged from the trees. I ran for the closest building I could find an old hollowed out tree turned library. I could hear sirens from the ambulance, no doubt searching for me. I peeked in through the window and scanned inside, I didn’t see anypony and all the lights were out. I turned my flank to the window and gave it a sharp buck. The glass exploded inward and I scrambled in after it, the long sleeves of the straitjacket making it hard to climb in. Finally I wiggled through and toppled to the ground with a thud. My brain spiked with adrenalin it shot up, closed the shutters, and waited. It seems nopony had heard me. I sighed in relief. No sooner than the sigh escaped my lips, a key jingled in the door “Fuck me.” I mumbled. I dove for the closest doorway which turned out to be a small kitchen. The door swung open and I heard voices in the main room “Applejack! How could you say that!?” somepony said in a playfully scolding tone. I trotted back and forth silently looking for a hiding place, which I found none. “Fuck!” I said and plopped down in a chair next to a dining table. I was trapped in here with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, if I tried escape they might get the wrong impression when ran at them in a straitjacket. So, I waited. The conversation died and I assumed they had found the smashed window “Twi I'm gonna check it out, you wait here. Holler if ya see anything.” a mare said in a strong cowpony accent. There was silence for a while. “Looks clear, musta been the wind” the cowpony said. “Tisk, tisk, you should really be more thorough.” Star said. “Well I'm going to put these in the kitchen” a mare said and I heard movement coming towards me. “Well shit.” I mumbled. A unicorn with a purple coat and a dark purple mane with a few lines of color in it walked in hovering a bag of groceries and flicked on the light switch.  She just stared for a second. The groceries fell to the floor and she focused a blast of magic at me “Who are you and, what are you doing here?!” she shouted. “Names Nighters” I said extending a hoof, the too long sleeve of my straitjacket hanging down. A look of recognition dawned on her face and she would have loosed a magic shot of at me, had I not kicked a chair from under the table sending it flying into her forelegs. She toppled to the tile face first. I glided off my chair and made my way to the door. An earth pony with an orange coat and blonde mane wearing a cowpony hat ran into the kitchen and immediately tried to buck me in the face. I slid to the side and kicked out her forelegs mid-buck dropping her to the ground. I turned to face the unicorn and instead, met a blast of magic to the face. I took a few staggering steps before collapsing into darkness. “That could have went better.” Star said. My mind was fogged and I couldn’t even think of a reply “Huh. That mind missile must have fucked you up eh?” I heard a chuckle “Then you won’t mind if I take over for a bit?” “Good. I’d like to have a chat with the nice mares” Star blinked open his eyes “Twilight how long should that hold em?” the cowpony said “He will be out for another few hours for sure, don’t worry applejack.” Twilight said. Star found himself lying on a couch in the main room of the library “Sweet Celestia! Did you beat him after he was down or what?” Star moaned rising from the couch. The two ponies swung around and faced star “How did you get out of my spell?” Twilight asked “Quite simple really, you never hit me with a spell. This is the first time we’ve spoken, the names Star. And I don’t much like you beating up Nighters like that. Do you know how annoying it is to move in this body?” Twilight looked at Star with face full of confusion “What?” she said dumbly. Star sighed “Me and Nighters share the same noggin, why you think we’re in a straitjacket to begin with?” It seemed to click for the unicorn and she bowed her head a bit “I'm sorry about that I just was sort of surprised is all.” A small part of him thought it was adorable, another part of him laughed. It was the soulless cackle of a madpony, which send a chill down Stars spine and made him very, very, scared.
