Previous Chapter

So the purple princess decided to pop by unannounced. It's a rarity - not a pun, mind you - that they ever break free from this schedule. But, she did a bad. A bad bad. A 'bro, you just broke into my house' bad. So um, how do I put this.

Since purple princess pony is a princess. It also means that she can almost do as she pleased, granted that it was... "justified." Apparently, she justified it as a mental issue and that I'd simply needed to be around other ponies. No. That was a bad idea from the beginning.

Eventually, after about fifteen whole minutes of being floated around, she finally made it to a cottage. Just like any normal cottage. Naturally, I was confused, so I'd asked her.

"Twilight... why'd you bring me here?" my dreary voice said.

"This is your new home..!" she replied. It was not what I wanted to hear. At all.

"B-but Twilight! I already have a home! Why are you fo-" I was cut off by a swift response from Twilight.

"Jacob, you've been pushing everypony away ever since you've gotten here. We've all been trying to help you, and nothing has even come close to helping. So I'm putting my hoof down and putting you in a place where I can make sure you're safe and getting better," her voice had authority laced with it, and my heart sunk like a stone.

"B-but... you can't.. do that..." I said, in hopes that I could free myself from this soon-to-be hell that I've found myself in.

"Actually. I can," she tapped her crown. I frowned slightly and curled up more.

"...i-it's not fair..." I said quietly. She merely shook her head and brought me inside the cottage. Inside... well, it looked like it was god damn baby-proof. Then it dawned on me. It looked more like a padded cell than anything.

"T-Twilight... this..." I had a rising fear build up inside me. She sat me down in front of her. Yes, it showed concern, and a whole lot of 'I care about you,' but... "this is taking it too far..." my gaze fell to the floor, my voice a near whisper.

"It's for your own good."
