Previous Chapter

You yawn once more, before making your mind.

"Um, Twilight? I would really appreciate it, if I could maybe find a place to sleep?" You say, trying to run the sleep out your eyes.

"Oh, sure! You can sleep in my bed. It's right upstairs." Twilight says, beckoning at a set of stairs next to the bookshelf you previously examined.

"Thanks Twilight." You say as you walk upstairs. You reach the top of the stairs, you find yourself in front of two beds. One is very small, and circular. The other is a tad bit bigger and square, but still smaller than you.

-They're small.-

~Thank you... I couldn't figure that out on my own.~

You figure that an uncomfortable sleep would be better than no sleep at all. After all, you won't be able to think straight when all you're thinking about is sleep. You get on the bigger bed. It takes you a while to find a comfortable position on that small cube of wool, but eventually you find one and drift off to sleep.

[*From here on out, I will be presented in third person*]

You wake up in a bright white room. Somehow, you feel like you've been here before, but you can't put your finger on it. All of a sudden, a wooden door appears in front of you. You open the door, and inside there is a mysterious person on a bed. Next to him, a desk holding a small laptop. Walking up to the bed, you look around for anything. All you can see is white, and the guy on the bed. You're pretty sure you've never seen him before, but yet he is still here.

"Psst! Hey. Wake up. Who are you?" You nudge the sleeping fellow in an attempt to wake him up.

"Five more hours!" That voice. It's extremely familiar.

"Get up! I need to know who you are!" You are now pushing the person.

"Alright! Alright! I'm up! Oh hey Michael." Now you recognize the voice.

"You're my subconscious. Aren't you?" You ask raising a brow.

"You know it! Daniel's the name." Daniel takes the laptop from the desk. He starts typing something in it, and all of a sudden the bed starts fading away. Small numbers and letters form on the bed, and then the bed is completely gone. Daniel appears standing in an undershirt and black shorts.

"Ho- How did you do that?" You ask, dumbstruck at the disappearance of the bed.

"That's simple. This laptop allows me to do things in your head." Daniel shows you the screen. On it, it's just a small bar, like if you're putting the password to a windows computer. The background is red, while the bar is white. There was also a small logo at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It was a a circle, in a circle, in a circle, blah blah. Below the circles were the letters 'P.O.L.K.' in small transparent (but noticeable) letters.

"Watch closely." Daniel types in 'Casual attire' into the small bar. He presses 'enter,' and all of a sudden his clothing fade away into the numbers and letters. They get replaced by another clothing attire. Into a black button-up shirt under a black hoodless jacket, dark blue jeans, a black backwards hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a pair of Converse.

"How's that?" He asks, stick his arms outwards. The laptop was still in his hand.

"That's amazing! How does it work?" You ask, fascinated by the astonishing acts.

"I don't know exactly, but it's really cool." He says, admiring the laptop.

"Did you make it?" You ask.

"Well, no. I didn't necessarily make it." He replies.

"What's the small little logo at the bottom do?" You ask, pointing to the logo you previously noticed.

"I. Don't. Know. I haven't really cared for it." He replies tapping his finger on his chin.

"Click it!" You say, excited for its effects.

"Okay, here goes nothing." Daniel moves the mouse to the logo. Which makes the pointer turn into a hand with a finger. He clicks it, and all you can see is static.

Suddenly, you are in a black room. You see two big guys with earpieces and suits and ties under a jacket.

"Where am I?" You ask, looking up at the big guys. They are holding her stern faces, and have there hands behind their backs.

"Come with us." One of the two say.

"I'm sorry. I have to find a way to get back to Po-" You are interrupted when they both grab each of your arms. "Hey! Let me go!"

They drag you through a door, and toss you in front of another person. This person was wearing a lab coat, his hands were also behind his back. He was wearing reading glasses, and his hair was grey.

"Who are you?" You ask getting up.

"That isn't important. What is important is Daniel." He replies, keeping the serious look on his face.

"Daniel? Is he here?" You ask looking around for any signs of him.

"No..." The man in the lab coat started to walk in a certain direction. "But the man in your head is very, very dangerous." The man raises his hand to grab a small chain and pulls it.

A dim light reveals two pictures pinned on a board. The first picture showed Daniel in a glass box, tied sitting on a wooden chair, blindfolded. The next showed that he was gone. The ropes were ripped, the blindfold was on the ground, and the chair was tipped over. There was also a huge crack in the glass.

"You see. Daniel escaped our lab. He was a subject in our testing chambers. He is dangerous for one reason, and one reason only. He has the capability to hurt people, and feel nothing for them." He explains.

"Like a sociopath?" You ask, examining the pictures.

"Precisely." The man walks over to another area, flicks a switch, and another dim light reveals a small television on a metal desk. "He cannot be allowed to walk free."

He turns on the small television. The first thing you see is a caption labeled 'Subject: Daniel Rhodes Test: Memory Wipe' then transitions into the same picture that was on the wall. Daniel was blindfolded and strapped to a chair. Suddenly, a man in a suit similar to the one of the two guys that brought you here walked in. The man held a syringe full of a red liquid. The man proceeded to stand in front of him. Suddenly, Daniel ripped off the ropes, and charged at the man. The chair tipped over as he pushes the man against the glass, causing it to crack. The man fell out of sight. Daniel backed away to the chair, and took off the blindfold, dropping it to the side. He then runs off screen, while two others run in through the other side, chasing him. The video fades black, and a caption is read. The caption read 'Results: Escaped, Code Red.' The video ends.

"So you want to catch him?" You ask crossing your arms.

"No..." There is a slight pauses as he looks at his watch. "I want you to kill him."

"What!? No... No no." You disagree shaking your head.

"We don't have much time Michael. Your dream is about to end." He says looking up at his watch. "If you don't kill him, he'll kill the ponies."

"Wait... What!?" You back away.

"That is his next target. We traced him heading to Ponyville. He plans to kill them in order to sustain his bloodlust." He says seriously. "Times almost up Michael. Do it."

"How do you know my na-"

You wake up. You're still on the small bed. You think about the things that just happened in your dream.

-Oh finally! You're up!-

That voice in your head is Daniel. You know for sure now, but is he really who that guy said he was?

-Where did you go? I just click that logo, and you disappeared in front of my eyes! What happened? Where'd you go?-
