The disappeared girl’s name was Adria. Ever since she was 5 she said she could see monsters, things that no one else could. They believed she was suffering from some kind of mental disorder. Her parents died when she was 9 and has been living in Misty Falls Asylum since then. For once an asylum that’s been having some strange shit going on doesn't have an dark history or the abuse of patients and so on…...


“Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? My name is Twilight and I’ve awoken in someplace I don’t recognize, this place seems to be an abandoned hospital, and the door in the room I'm in appears to be locked as the door won’t open.”

Those were the words emiting from the handheld radio that awoke Inspector Sarah Hawkins from her slumber as she shot up from the ground she was lying on.

She was wearing a long red winter coat, a purple turtleneck sweater, a pair of black gloves, a pair of blue pants and some black boots. She had blond hair with a bun hairstyle, and she had blues eye. She got up from the floor and grabbed the radio, and began to speak into it.

“Hello this is Inspector Sarah Hawkin and I’ve seemed to have find myself in the same situation as you Miss “Twilight,” but I need to know what is your actual name.”

“That is my name, Twilight Sparkle. Well Princess Twilight Sparkle to be exact.”

“That’s ridiculous. First off Princess, seriously? And no human being ever would have the name Twilight Sparkle.”

“I could say the same about your name, and there's no such thing as a human. And don’t you me-”

“How about this, I find where you are and I’ll see if you’re not absolutely crazy.”

“Fine, don’t have to be so rude about it.”

After putting the handheld radio in her pocket she began to exit the room she was in, but the door wouldn't budge. She began to look around for a key; searching on the counter, on the floor and in the cupboards. While looking on the shelf she managed to find the key, the thing was that the key was in the a jar with a human brain for all things in it, not to mention that the key was lodged into the top of the brain. "Well ain't that a sight for sore eyes” Sarah commented sarcastically. Taking the lid off the jar, she reached her hand in and pulled the key straight out of the brain. “Thats one hell of a way to hide a key.” She said.

Opening the door to the hallway she starts to look around at her environment. A long dark hallway with the odd broken light, all the doors being boarded up, dingy floors and walls with the odd “Get the mop out,” blood stain on the wall. And there was the occasional old rusty bed, wheelchair and the occasional piece of medical equipment left around. The hallway was mostly quite aside from the noises of Sarah's foot steps, her breathing and the flickering of lights. But out of the blue one the door started to rumble, like something was trying break down the door. Dust flew off the door as whatever was on the other side apparently threw itself against door in the an attempt to get out of the room it was locked in.

Eventually something did break down the door, as it flew off it’s hinges and hit the ground with an audible ‘Thump!’

The thing that was trying to break down the door was a worn out mannequin. The plaster on it was cracked, showing it’s age. It’s head slowly turned to Sarah's direction, staring at her with it’s blank and emotionless expression. It’s movement was stiff and unnatural. Which was expected from a still object which purpose is to be placed in a perfectly still position and to have clothes placed on it, that’s been brought to life.

Sarah looked around for something to use against it, but when she looked back at it. It was completely still, it was moving when it was underneath a light that had been broken, but apparently the moment it came underneath the light it was frozen. Like whatever brought it back to life lost influence when in came under the light, going back to being a normal, creepy everyday mannequin.

She could hear Twilight’s voice coming from the radio, as Sarah took it out of her pocket

“What was that?” She asked

“A living mannequin.” Sarah bluntly responded.

“Seriously?” Twilight said

“Yep, and stopped in it’s tracks the moment it came into the light.

“That’s odd, maybe there some sort of magical force that’s bringing it to life. And that this force is weak to sunlight, to the point where it can even function.” Twilight responded.

“You know, considering the situation. That sounds highly reasonable.”  Sarah said.

Putting away the radio she continues to move onwards counting down the numbers of the rooms, ignoring the weird noises coming from some of the other rooms.

“Bingo room 33!” Sarah shouted

“Why can’t I hear you?” Twilight asked

“Wait are you sure you’re in room 33?” Sarah said

“Oh damn, it’s actually room 23 that I’m in” Twilight sheepishly explained

“Seriously!....... SERIOUSLY!” Sarah shouted

She had to walk even further now. And as she moved onward, the noise’s became more common and louder, and she swore she could hear a faint whisper from behind her. But when she turned around, nothing was there and the whispering and the noises suddenly stopped. But when she looked ahead they slowly started again. It was making her more nervous than she wanted to be, and it was irritating her to no end.

In laymans terms, she was getting sick of this shit and just wanted to get it over with and get the hell out. So she started to pick up her pace, and as she did the noises became louder. The moment she reached room 23, she stopped to wipe her forehead and take a breather. After that, she knocked on the door and announced her arrival to Twilight. “I have arrived!” She shouted

She grabs the door knob, twists it and opens the door. “There you are” Twilight said before she too was donning the same confused what-the-hell-is-going-on stare.

“You're an actual god to honest little lavender colored horse with wings and a horn…. What….. Just what in he…. I don’t even.. I….. Ah….” Sarah stuttered. “And you’re a…. A…… What are you exactly?” Twilight asked, just as confused as Sarah.

“A human being….. And you’re a?” Sarah asked.

“An Alicorn.” Twilight simply explained “I don’t want to know, and I don’t think I care. You’re a horse, i’m a human being. Were stuck in an abandoned hospital in god knows where….. And once again, you’re a horse. I’m not going to get over that.” Sarah said.

“I could say the same, and I do believe we must work together….. Obviously.” Twilight responded.

The two of them began to talk as they headed onward “So do you have any idea on how we’re going to out.” Twilight asked.

“We should look for an elevator to help us get to the ground floor.” Sarah explained.

“Oh and try to keep your eyes open in case if you see something move in the distance” Sarah added.

“I’ll do my best.” Twilight said “And what's an elevator?” Twilight asked to which Sarah gave her an expression that can best be described as a are-you-serious face.  “Just kidding, I know what an elevator is. You can find one in almost every building in Manehatten.” Twilight explained.

“Manehattan, you have to be kidding me. That’s just Manhattan with an e added in for the sake of something.... Maybe for puns sake…... “ Sarah responded.

“Very funny” Twilight said sarcastically

After walking through the dilapidated hallway, they finally managed to come across an elevator that’s somehow is in a somewhat good state. “Thank you lady luck! Now let’s get on the elevator” Sarah shouted out.

The both of them head into the elevator as Sarah goes to press the button for the ground floor. As the door begins to close a loud distorted laugh echoed through the hallway, everything not nailed to the ground went flying into the walls and in the distance a shadowy figure walked towards them.

“AH!  A Demon!” She shouted as she began to mash the ‘Close Door’ button on the elevator until the door did finally close.

“WHAT WAS THAT THING!” Twilight shouted

“I don’t know and I don’t want to know” Sarah responded

After that It was just silence beside the noise of elevator, during the ride down Sarah had a simple thought in her mind.

This is going to be one hell of a ride.


A young girl, about the age of 11 was laid on a bench in park of sorts. She had brown somewhat long hair and green eyes. She was wearing a blue T-shirt, a blue and grey hoodie, a dark blue baseball cap and a light brown backpack. She began to awake and sat up, confused and a bit afraid as she observed her surroundings. She then noticed a note next to her on the bench, it read “Rise and Shine Adria”
