I was scared, and confused. The room was dark and cold. Luna stood there, watching me.

"W-what am I supposed to do in here?" I asked her, my voice shaky. I was nervous. Her gaze pierced into my soul, as if she were looking into it. My question was met by silence, then her gaze broke.

"If you behave..." She started. "IF you behave, we will not keep you restrained. You will be given things to do, and will be fed 3 times a day. But should you disobey us, or do something we do not approve, you will not only get shocked, but we shall then restrain you to the bed." she said with an authoritative voice.

"I... I just want to go home..." came my weak reply. A tear fell from my eye. She moved closer and gave me a small nuzzle to my arm, as if to comfort me.

"Do not cry, human. Although you may never leave, if you promise to be good, we will treat you well. That is all you need to worry about." She repeated herself, to make sure I understood. But in the back of my mind, an escape plan had already been hatched.

"May I ask a question about this collar?" I asked her, as I wiped my face.

"You may." came her reply.

"Will I only get shocked if I disobey you?" I asked, trying not to sound too obvious. Part of the plan for escape.

"That is correct. But if you disobey any of my guards, they have been given permission to restrain you." Her eyes bore into me once more, as if she had a hunch.

I fought to hold back a smile. It was perfect. My hopes went up a little at her reply. I gave her a weak smile, and sat back down on the chair. Her horn suddenly lit up. I flinched.

"Calm yourself. We are simply going to heal the gash on your head." she reassured me. Sure enough, I felt a tingling sensation on my forehead. I brought a hand up to feel it. The gash was gone, but it was still a tad tender.

"Thank you.." I smiled.

She gave me a small smile and turned to walk out the door. She paused suddenly, and turned to look at me.

"We will now leave and lock your door. Any attempt to escape will be met with harsh punishment." she growled. I froze up. Was she aware of my plan? I'd hope not.

I nodded my head, and she left me alone in the room. As the door closed, I hear the familiar sound of a key clunking in the door. I looked around. There was nothing much, although my iPod sat on the bed. I moved over to it, and picked it up. It was fully charged, and surprisingly, there wasn't a single scratch, despite the 'fight' that I had apparently put up.

Placing the ear buds into each year, I laid out on the crude bed. It was surprisingly comfortable, and smelled like lavender. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep to the sound of some soothing music. After everything that had just happened, I needed to settle my mind, and rest.

A couple of hours had passed. I was suddenly woken up by the door closing, and the key locking it. I shot up quickly, and looked around. A tray with food sat on the floor by the door. It was still nice and warm.

I went to pick up the tray, and brought it back to the bed where I sat down to eat. There were no utensils, probably because they didn't trust me yet. They tray had a plate with a half loaf of fresh bread that was still warm, some warm carrots with butter, and a cup of water.

I finished up the tray and placed it back at the door. The familiar sound of the key unlocking the door could be heard. I took a few steps back, and 2 white stallions in gold armor trotted in.

"On the bed, now." came a gruff demand from the stallion on the left. He had a scar below his eye, and looked pretty scary. He had his hoof pointed to the bed.

"W-why? I didn't do anything wrong!" I shot back. The stallion on the right moved forward and growled.

"You will do as you are told, or we will restrain you!" he shot back, moving closer and closer to me. I looked to the open door, then to the 2 stallions. They didn't have wings like Luna, nor did they have a horn. I saw my chance.

They both began to advance towards me, to try and push me towards the bed. I moved back, waiting for the gap between them to get a bit bigger so I could run past without being caught. After a few seconds, my patience paid off.

Flashing them both a smile, I bolted between them, towards the door, and started to run as fast as I could, hearing them screaming and running behind me. The sound of their hooves echoed through the halls.

I turned a quick corner, and suddenly, I felt a jolt. I hit the ground hard, and groaned. Rolling onto my back, I looked up, and for a brief moment, I saw her. Luna. Her horn was lit, and her face showed her displeasure.

"Couldn't resist trying to escape, could you? We shall uphold our promise." she grinned. Her horn glowed brighter, and another jolt hit me. I let out a scream and blacked out.

I was toast.
