Chapter 1.

Split Personality

Hyper feather was a simple Pegasus that grew up in Cloudsdale. He never really had many friends but he was okay with that he didn't seem to care to much. His parents were always worried about him since he never really tried to become friends with anyone. But the main reason they worried was because Hyper always claimed to have a best friend called Spectre but he never really seemed to be around when Hyper's parents wanted to meet him. Years went and Hyper grew up and finally moved away from home. Hyper was not like other Pegasus he wasn't interested in flying and racing like most of his classmates were. Hyper was more interested in reading and playing role playing games with his few friends. So when Hyper moved away from home he decided to move to Ponyville hoping that he could mostly be left alone. After living in Ponyville for a few years he saw an ad in the paper about a science project that needed volunteers to test their new machine on. And being the science loving pony he was he of course volunteered for the experiment.
He woke up early on a Monday morning and decided to walk down to the location where they would be testing the science project. They were going to test it in a old factory building a good bit outside of town. Hyper arrived early and started to talk to the people in charge of the science project. He met with the project leader Dr. Free and his assistant Mr.Dapper. They all talked for about thirty minutes and then decided to begin the experiment. Hyper was placed in a so called ¨test chamber¨ where he got a few wires strapped to him. After everything was ready Dr. Free turned on his machine and started to do his work. The machine was designed to show the persons memories and thoughts. They went trough Hypers memories and everything went fine until they started seeing a dark blue colt playing with him almost all of the time and when they weren't playing the dark blue colt was following Hyper. Usually this wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary but when Dr. Free had made some research on his test subject his parents had told him that Hyper had very few friends and all of them were earth ponies. Dr. Free now very confused decided to try and turn of the machine but something in the machinery snapped and the machine started to over-heat eventually leading to it having a complete meltdown and later exploding after they had evacuated the old factory building.
What are we going to do now? - Hyper asked Dr. Free
Well there is nothing we can do now so i guess you can just return home and we will call you if we need any help from you in the future. - Dr. Free said before leaving to go talk to his assistant.
oh well i might as well head home then. Hyper thought to himself starting to walk slowly home. While walking he started to remember back to his childhood.
¨i don't really remember much of my childhood but did i really have no friends back then? i always thought it was odd that my parent said that because i remember a dark blue colt i used to play with. At least he listened to my problems and cared what i had to say. Too bad that i can't remember his name.¨ ¨SPECTRE!¨
¨Who was that?¨ - hype asked himself. Huh¨ i guess i am hearing things now.¨. Hyper continued to walk thinking about a vast majority of things and after about an hour of walking he reached his house. He unlocked his house and stepped inside ¨Ah it feels good to be home. Now i am not going to do anything for the rest of the night except read some books¨ Hyper walked upstairs having kind off a strange feeling all the way up. When he finally reached his bedroom he sat down on his bed and took out the book he had been reading for a few weeks from a desk drawer that was next to his bed. As he sat there reading he suddenly heard the same voice he had heard earlier today but this time it said something else.
¨you haven't forgotten me have you?¨ ¨Who's there!?¨ He shouted feeling very unsafe but he got no response. ¨Am i going insane here or what? oh well i guess loneliness makes you think you hear things sometimes¨ He sighed before continuing talking to himself. ¨But i guess i could always talk to a doctor tomorrow¨ and with that said he decided to go to bed. He did not sleep very good that night he awoke at three in the morning feeling almost sick. He decided to get some fresh air and went over to his window and opened it. It was raining outside. He looked down into his back yard and thought he saw someone down there. A split second after he saw it it was gone. ¨Did i just see a dark blue stallion in my yard...¨ he shook his head ¨Alright i am seeing things now that aren't real. The first thing i do tomorrow is visit the doctor.¨ He continued to close his window and went to sleep.
He woke up the next morning feeling as if he hadn't sleept in years. He had been having nightmares about his childhood and the thought that he couldn't remember his only friends name had almost driven him insane. He got up from bed and went downstairs and started to make some breakfast. After finishing his breakfast he started to walk torwards the trainstation in ponyville. He got on the train and headed to Canterlot. When he arrived there he went straight to the hospital. When he walked into the building it was empty seeing as it was very early in the morning. Behind the reception desk sat a young mare reading the newspaper. Hyper walked up to the desk and cleared his throat. ¨umm exscuse me?¨ - he said. The mare behind the desk now took her eyes of the newspaper and started to talk ask hyper questions.
¨Name? age? and reason for being here.¨ - she said in a casual voice.
¨Umm well my name is Hyper feather, i am 20 years old and i am here because i have started seeing things and i am having memory gaps¨
¨Alright then sit down over there and the doctor will talk to you soon¨.
He went over to a bench and sat down and started to wait for the doctor. After having waited for about 20 minutes the doctor finally arrived. The doctor looked at his paper work and then spoke.
¨I assume you are Hyper feather?¨
¨That is correct¨ Hyper answered.
¨Well follow me then¨
They walked trough a couple of doors and down a hall and finally went into a room where hyper was asked to sit down on a bed.

Chapter 3

Hyper was lying in his bed sound asleep. When the clock struck 03.00 in the morning Hyper woke as if and alarm clock had gone of. He sat up and yawned.

¨What time is it?¨ he looked at the clock on his wall.

¨It's 3 in the morning? Oh well might aswell go and get something to drink.¨

Hyper walked down the stairs into his kitchen and went to get a glass of water. By the time he had gotten his water he noticed that his door was open.

¨Am i really so stupid that i forgot to close my door?. It's a wonder that i haven't been robbed.¨ Hyper then walked over to his door to close it. But for some strange reason he couldn't bring himself to closing it. Instead he decided to go for a walk in the middle of the night. Not one of his best ideas but he couldn't help himself.

He walked trough all of ponyville without realising it and suddenly he was at the border to the everfree forest. Hyper had never really been scared of the everfree but had instead always found it quiet interesting. So for some reason without hesitation he walked into the forest.

Without even knowing it he keept walking further and further into the forest. After about 30 minutes of walking he didn't know where he was and he finally realised that he was lost in the everfree forest. So he decided to keep walking until he could find a place to rest until the morning.

After walking for about 10 more minutes he found a clearing in the forest. In the clearing he saw the usuall stuff. Some rocks a little pool of water and a tree log to sit on. But that was where he saw something out of the ordinary. On the tree log sat a small blue colt who looked to be crying. Hesitating a bit Hyper started to slowly walk torwards the log.

¨Um hel..hello? Are you lost?¨ hyper asked

¨Yes i was walking with my mother but then i lost her and i don't know where to go¨ the colt sobbed.

Hyper should have reacted to how familliar the colt looked but he was to tiered to think about it. When he was finally at the log it hit him like a bunch of bricks. The voice, the look, So familliar yet so strange. And connected to it was a name he couldn't quiet remember.

The colt had now stopped crying and it sounded a bit like he was laughing.

¨ You really don't remember me?¨ the colt asked him.

¨ No...should i?. Have i seen you somewhere before?¨ hyper asked with a tone that was somewhere between scared and confused.

¨ Oh well. That really makes me sad my old friend. But then let me refresh your mind. My name is Specter¨. The colt said and then smiled.

Hyper suddenly rememberd everything. His childhood. The Doctors appointments, The Psychologi sessions. And then the last piece of the pussle hit him.

Specter who had been his one and only friend when he was very young. The same specter that had died of a disease in the same hospital that hyper had visited just yesterday. And the last thing he rememberd was how he had talked with psychologists to cure him of the trauma of losing his best friend. But in all honesty he had never really lost his friend. He had been there with him trough all the years of his childhood as a manifestation of the trauma.

¨ But you are dead...how can you be here?¨ Hyper asked now scared out of his mind.

¨ The machiene they tested on you brought out your most inner wish. The wish that i was still alive and that we would be friends forever¨ The colt now looked hyper right in the eyes and smiled.

Hyper didn't know why but he couldn't controll himself and he found himself reaching for specter with his left hoof. The touched for a brief moment and then everything went dark.

The next thing hyper knew he woke up in a bed. But he quickly realised it wasn't his bed. The door to his room opened and a mare in a white uniform came in to the room.

¨ Exscuse me but where am i?¨ hyper asked really confused.

¨Well silly you are at the canterlot instution for mental health¨ she answered him.

And then it all clicked for him. He was in a mental asylum. But how long had he been here? Days? weeks? Months? Years?.

The last thing hyper asked before the nurse left was.

¨ Exscuse me nurse but what happened to my friend specter?¨

The nurse looked confused and shook her head. ¨ I don't know who you are talking about. I don't know of anyone called Specter¨

She then proceeded to leave the room.

¨ Maybe i just imagined it all? that must be the case¨ hyper told himself

¨ No im still here old friend¨ A voice that seemed to come from nowhere answered him.

Was it real? was it just in his head? Who knows. Not even Hyper knows.

Chapter 2.

Sitting on the bed in the doctors office Hypers thoughts started to wander a bit while the doctor was looking trough some of Hypers medical folders.

¨now that i think about it i might have just been a bit paranoid. But oh well now that i am already here i might aswel let the doctor do his job¨

The doctor put down the paper work he had been looking at and walked over to the bed where hyper was sitting.

¨Alright let's get started then.¨ - the doctor said.

Hyper nodded and with that the doctor started asking Hyper a lot of questions.

¨Do you take any medication?¨

¨None at all¨

¨When did you start seeing and hearing things?¨

¨last evening¨

¨Have you ever talked to a psychologist¨

¨No i have always been considered healthy in everyway¨

The doctor nodded at Hypers answers while writing down some things on a piece of paper. After writing everything down the doctor walked over to his desk and sat down.

¨Alright i am going to be honest with you. From the information i have gathered at the time i do believe that you are just Paranoid.¨

Hypers eyes sank to the floor and he let out a heavy sigh.

¨I see. Is there anything you can do about it doctor?¨

¨Alright you have two options. You can either go see a psychologist and talk about it. Or we could give you a certain medication that is used to bring Paranoid thoughts.¨

Hyper thought about it for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes of thinking he looked at the doctor and said.

¨I would rather go with the medication¨

The doctor seemed really suprised at this and now looked at hyper again and asked him.

¨Why would you prefer the medication?¨

¨Because i am not really the most social of ponies and i am not good at opening up to other ponies¨

The doctor just nodded and wrote out a recepie for the medication and handed it to hyper.

¨Now i hope this will help you and remember if you have any problems with the medication or anything feel free to come and talk to me again¨

Hyper took the recepie and left the hospital and headed straight to the pharmacy and got his medication and later headed home.

When he arrived at his home he decided to take one of the pills and go to bed early. He took the pill and swallowed it with a glass of water and after that started to walk up to his bedroom.

The same moment he entered his bedroom he threw himself onto his bed and almost immidiently fell asleep. As he lay on his bed drifting of to sleep his thought wandered back to what had happened during the day.

¨I guess the doctor is right i am just a bit paranoid¨ he said to himself yawing and then fell into a deep sleep.

Outside of his window it was now dark and atop his roof sat a Dark Blue pegasus lookin at the sky.

¨I wouldn't say you were paranoid but i guess it's better for me if other ponies think you are¨

The dark blue pegasus then spread his wings and flew away torwards the Everfree forest.
