Author's Note

Sorry this was so late. I have been studying for AP Exams, take one of them on the 13th, and no time - except for today - has been available for me to write. My chapters will be more frequent after this, but I am alternating between this and Diamond In The Rough, so expect a new chapter after one comes out for Diamond In The Rough.

CH 4: Something's Not Right...

Vinyl's POV

Woah...My head hurts... I thought to myself as I regained consciousness, though as I opened my eyes I saw nothing but black. Why can't I see? God, this headache is gonna kill m- What?! I noticed my hands were above me and secured to something. My legs also were secured below me. At this I started hyperventilating and panicking. Then, on queue, a familiar face appeared from the darkness as the light above me turned on. His gray eyes pierced mine and my fear spiked. No...It's him. The man who took my parents' lives and my voice. I thought he had a life sentence! How did he get here, or find me?! I started to squirm in my restraints and he chuckled.

"Surprised to see me?" His eyes had malicious intent on them and even without the dim light above I could've seen them. He spoke again. "Missed me?" I didn't reply, but by the look on my face, he got an answer. "I have to say, you've been quite silent for someone who has been kidnapped." He stopped looking malicious for a second, but reverted back to his menacing face. "It doesn't matter. I'd like to introduce you to some of my toys." He pulled on a table that was stationed somewhere in the darkness. On the table were sharp objects and...medical supplies?

I'm gonna die, aren't I? I thought as he picked up a knife, a surgical knife. He closed in on my thigh and cut my pants downward, exposing most of my leg.

"Now, this isn't going to hurt that much! It's just going to make you scream in agony!" He shouted at me with eyes that meant death and slowly started cutting my leg. I screamed out in my guttural sounding scream. My screams were accompanied by his laughter. "This is payback for all the years of my life you took from me! My WIFE wouldn't even come to visit me, let alone see my children!" I smirked and gave him a look that said "maybe because you're a freak who liked to abduct children?" He got mad at this, obviously and slapped me hard across the face. Pain radiated through my face from the contact point. "That's it! I was thinking about ending your life here and now, but now I know I have to keep you alive for as long as possible to maximize your torment!" He grabbed some stitches from the table and did a purposefully painful job fixing and cleaning my wounds. "Can't have you dying, now can we?" My leg was seething from the pain and my tears flowed from my eyes due to the pain that was left when he was done.

He turned and disappeared into the darkness. Is it finally over? I thought as I looked at my disfigured right leg. Sadly, it wasn't. The man then returned with gloves on his hands.

"I thought than your pain was more valuable to me then your death. Also..." He pointed to a camera "You're going to be a star of your own show! Scream for the camera!" He pushed a button on the camera and put on the gloves. He turned to me and smiled.

Nononono- He stopped my thoughts short as he kept unleashing punches to my abdomen and face. I screamed with each hit and he continued to hit me until he was tired.

Octavia's POV

"Where is that DJ?" It was soop like her to go to that dreaded club after her session with Dr. Discord. Might as well call Discord and ask if she told him where she was going. I picked up my phone and dialed Discord's cell. "Hello Discord."

"Well, if it isn't Vinyl's sister, how are you? Do you happen to be around her right now?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Well, she skipped our session and I'd like to know if she is okay."

"That's weird. She left to go to your session today, I know because she wasn't here when I awoke, and she isn't here now. I'll call the girls and see if they saw her."

"Tell me what you find." He said and then hung up before I could reply.

He's rude. I thought and dialed up the girls and one by one they said back:

"Nope, I haven't seen her." Fluttershy

"Nah, I ain't seen 'er" Applejack

"I haven't seen her, darling." Rarity

"Nah. She was supposed to meet me and Sunset for a jam session, but didn't show." Rainbow Dash

"No, Vinyl didn't show to our scheduled "jam session" as Dash calls them." Sunset

"Nope. I would've remembered if I saw her, silly." Pinkie Pie

One by one I heard their responses and freaked out more and more. I texted everyone to meet at my parent's house. Hopefully, we could find Vinyl before something bad happens, but a part of me tells me it's too late for that. I called my mom to my room. She bursted in afterwards. "Is everything okay?" Mom said.

"No! Haven't you noticed Vinyl isn't here?!" I yelled.

"Relax. She's probably out with one of her band mates." She looked calm.

"I thought that too, but no one knows where she is, or even seen her today!" I panicked.

My mom processed this and she started to panic too. "I - I'll call your father, you call the police." I ran to the home phone and dialed 911. I told them of our emergency and hung up. Soon, my friends came, along with Detective Shining Armor, Dr. Discord, and my dad. We would spend the next hour being drilled with questions by Detective Armor about Vinyl, or Ms. Scratch as they said. I wasn't ready for the memories this would bring up.
