Dreams.. That are possibly nightmares..

Previous Chapter

Rainbow Dash bolted her eyes awake, seeing she was in a dark room. The room was an asylum cell, and it was blanketed with white pads and nothing more. Miraculously, she wasn't in a strate jacket so she could move freely. She stood up and walked around, hearing cameras moving her every movement. She was being watched, which she didn't like. Rainbow turned her head to where the camera was, but it wasn't a camera, it was more of a head of Pinkie Pie that had a camera stuffed in her mouth watching Rainbow. She shuttered, as a few tears slipped out.

Soon the door of the cell moaned open, and a chilly mist blew inside the cell revealing someone the height of Rainbow. Her face was covered up and she wore a docter's outfit, with her pony tails sticking out. She held a clipboard and a pen, writing stuff down. She muttered something that Rainbow couldn't hear or understand, so she walked up to the nurse/docter so she could hear her better. The nurse didn't even acknowledge that Rainbow was even there. Somethings that she could hear were, "She'a growing more insane, soon we won't be able to help her.." W-was she talking about Rainbow?

Rainbow Dash panicked and breathed heavily. The nurse turned around and walked out of the cell, leaving Rainbow to herself, at least, that's what she kept telling herself.

Rainbow heard some chuckles behind her, and she told herself to stay calm at all costs. She turned her head to only see nothing but darkness. Aw, Rainbow Dash! Is that how you think of me? Nothing? Something taunted Rainbow. She jumped, confused and scared of what lurked near her. The thing chuckled again, but it was echoy instead of a regular chuckle. Rainbow gulped and backed up to the padded wall nearest the door. She trembled in fear, not knowing what to do. This wasn't the Rainbow Dash she knew, no, the Rainbow right here is nothing compared to the old her. She wasn't scared of a stupid voice, she didn't tremble in fear, she wasn't her.

That's right Rainbow Dash! Why not stop trying to go back into the past, and look into the future! The voice replied to her thoughts. Maybe it was right, maybe she should look into the future of herself. But what would that be? Who would she be? She didn't know, but one small piece of herself is crying out to not do it, don't give in, but, she was curious now, she couldn't back off. "I could answer your question Rainbow Dash! Just let me take over your body so you can kindly see! Rainbow Dash backed off, as the deal concerned her. Aren't you curious Rainbow? If you let me take control, you can see your future! Just say yes, and our deal is on! Rainbow didn't know how to answer the deal: should she, or should she not?

Rainbow Dash finally made up her mind and nodded her head, and the voice chuckled uncontrollably. A figure appeared infront of Rainbow Dash, seeming her same exact height. The figure formed to be herself, but a crazed version. She wore a a black dress with a white collar with three white buttons under it; she also had knee high, sneaker boots. Her hair was tinted a blacker version of her's, and she had blood splatter everywhere on herself. The opposite smiled, or more like smirked, and grabbed Rainbow Dash's shoulder. Thank YOU for setting me free from my prison, Rainbow Dash.. Now YOU'LL rote inside this cell like I did! Rainbow breathed in rapidly and felt chains appear on her, and the chains dragged her into the everlasting darkness, just like the counterpart had to.

The counterpart Rainbow Dash opened one eye to see she was on the couch of Her house. She got up and saw she was in her other's clothing and smiled. Her feet hoisted her body up towards the kitchen to see she had the bright rainbow hair instead of darker tinted rainbow. Suddenly, she heard a squeal behind her as peach arms rapped around her. The counter Rainbow turned her head and recognized this girl to be Fluttershy.

"I'm so happy to see you awake Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy said louder than her regular voice. The counterpart Rainbow Dash smiled and hugged her back, trying not to be suspicious of her behavior. Soon the door bursted open as Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer were standing in the doorway. Twilight glared at the counterpart and grabbed her arm as she dragged her away.

"W-what are you doing!?" Fluttershy sqeaked. Twilight looked over and sighed as she replied; "You see Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash has Madness, and that Madness has a form of themself who has a darker tint of their hair and each of them has their own style of dressing up. They seem sweet and innocent at first but can become real monsters if triggered. I need to see if Rainbow Dash's Madness is anywhere in her body to make sure." Rainbow Dash panicked a bit, but eased as she remembered she could block out any signs of her Madness. Twilight continued dragging the counterpart Rainbow Dash outside and let go so she could walk freely. Twilight continued to keep close watch on 'Rainbow Dash' to see if she presented any sign of Madness.

The counterpart felt relief to be free, and alive. She needed to have fun, her fun. She turned her head as she smirked, as a devilish idea bubbled in her head as she thought of a plan for it to work.

In her mind, she continued to hear the yelps of Rainbow Dash and her cries. Music to the counter's ears!

Let me go! *sobs* I-I beg of you-! ACK!! The counter loved screams of agony and terror, it fueled herself to harm more..

And more..

AND MORE!! She couldn't describe how it felt so GOOD and it was like a nice jog in the morning, but instead with screams of pain and agony. She couldn't believe she tricked Rainbow Dash so easily, or she could because she was a master of manipulation and persuasion.

"We're here finally!" Twilight exclaimed with a tint of delight. The counterpart rolled her eyes and stepped into the small house. She blocked her mind of any trace of Madness, instead she filled it with what Rainbow Dash would have inside her head. The counterpart looks around, amazed. Twilight smiled and grabbed the counter's wrist and began dragging her to a chair with a little metal 'hat', and took deep examination in the counter's mind.
