Torment

Through the night Twilight continued to babble the words of madmen. She would say "It's not my fault!" or "I'm sorry!" but the doctors just couldn't pinpoint it.

Twilight saw things in that black cage. Things no one can describe.

Twilight fell into a pit. Around her each of her friends did their jobs normally, and she saw a blank, purple unicorn with no face, cutie mark, or ears,  cast a beam of magic into  a box. Suddenly each of her friends began to fail at what they did, each one slowly and gruesomely dying in the act. As rainbow dash flew straight into a tornado, trying to stop it she was killed by debris. Rarity's hoove was stuck in the sewing machine and repeatedly jabbed into as she screamed. Fluttershy was mauled by a bear she attempted to tame. Applejack bucked a tree with a bee hive in it, and was swarmed by angry, numerous, and determined to kill bees. Pinkie Pie simply fell to the ground and began shaking. All of them screamed "YOU DID THIS, YOU DID THIS, YOU DID THIS"

And all went black again.

Twilight was in what she called a "quiet period" where she sat and cried, waiting for the next horror she saw.

Meanwhile, the doctors scrambled to figure out her condition. Each attempt they tried to have someone talk to her she lashed out in anger and screamed even louder than before. She hadn't eaten in days and they were forced to hold her down and inject fluids to keep her hydrated. She often bashed her head into the walls, even ripping the padding off at part with her teeth. They ended up putting a muzzle on her and softer padding. Her heart rate and blood pressure were through the roof and heart failure was a possibility.

Twilight fell again, she new what would happen, she would see something gruesome and be forced to sit through it. She was growing hungrier but needles sometimes jabbed into her from all sides in the horrors, which strangly made her feel better after the pain subsided.

This horror was different. She saw herself, a exact copy, grow wings. Yes wings, real alicorn wings.

What kind of horror was this? This would have been something she would have never dreamed, as alicorns are often the top class in pony society. She might even become a princess if she actually had them. Was this perhaps the end of her torment? Would she finally not be jabbed with healing needles and watch her friends be killed, would she not watch cubes scream that she did something or forgot to write?

She saw something in the corner of her eye, several odd figures were marching toward her. They stood on two legs, and had odd appendages attached to the legs and torso. They were either a palish papery color with red dots on their face at places or a shade of brown. They had round faces and stylized manes. They seemed to have clothing, some of it even imprinted with...

with..

With pictures of her and her friends, other ponies too. She greeted them "Hello, who are you?".

She was met with a barrage of rocks, each figure grabbed huge stones and hurled them at her. She was bruised and fell to the ground. She felt immense pain as the rocks grew larger and larger and they yelled more and more insults. She saw a new darkness around her, a grayish cloud. It felt soothing. A low calm voice spoke to her.

"Rest, my child".

She was dead, she had died of exhaustion. She had seizured until her body just gave out.

"Dear Ms.Dash, Ms.Applejack, Ms.Pie, and Ms.Rarity, i am sorry to inform you that your friend Twilight Sparkle has died of exhaustion on January Second, 2014. We are sorry, and shall be sending the body to Princess Celestia. You should receive papers including funeral details soon.
