Supposed Insanity
Exposition
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Uhh..." I had no idea at all of how to respond to him. "I...uhh... What do you mean?" I was horrified. They had figured me out!
"Oh, I think you know exactly what I mean." He was staring at me. Monitoring me like a security camera.
"Wh-what? What are you talking about?" I was only prolonging the inevitable. They were going to do something. Whatever it may be, they were going to do it.
"I just told you... I know what you've been doing..." I only stared at him with an expression of pure fear plastered onto my face. I ask him again.
"Wh-What have I been doing?"
"Well, as you know, we took a sample from your blood." He paused to gather his thoughts. Probably to make it seem as scary as possible.
"And from your blood sample, we found no trace of our drug in your system. Which is a problem." Terrance paused again. This time he spoke with a more angry tone.
"From that evidence.... We concluded that you are still able to get to Equestria. Because of the fact that your brain activity is functioning at optimal speed. This drug is supposed to slow it down." I was frozen where I sat. HOW IN THE WIDE WORLD OF WONDERS DID HE KNOW ABOUT EQUESTRIA!?! I resorted to playing dumb. I was desperate.
"What is Eekesta?" He chuckled at me. Apparently I was a pretty bad actor.
"You know very well what Equestria is. You have to, because you still 'Travel' there." This is a worst case scenario. This would go against every part of the plan. I gave up the act and instead tried to figure him out.
"Okay... How do you know about Equestria?" I barely got the whole sentence out before he answered.
"About, three hundred years ago, ancestors of mine were dedicated to keeping the multiverse in tact. Your constant jumping from universe to universe has begun to take a toll on the fabric of reality." I raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, don't worry. Nothing noticeable has occurred yet. But we are going to stop you before something does." He seemed much more sinister at this point. The room grew darker with every word.
"What do you mean, 'Stop me'?" He chuckled again.
"Well we are going to render your so called 'gift' completely useless." Now I knew the meaning of horror. In a sad act of desperation, I made a break for it. It was left open when Terrance came in so I thought it was my only option at this point.
The very second I was past the door frame, I was confronted with two bulky guards blocking my path. I hadn't noticed them, the entire time I was sitting at my bed. Instead of simply shoving me back into the room, they tased me. Excruciating by the way. The world around me faded to black... I hope they don't kill me....
I awoke in the same room that they had taken my blood. I was on the table again, strapped down this time. About three other nurses were in the room. Along with Terrance. The nurses prepped some syringes with some murky liquid inside, while Terrance rubbed the sides of my head with a gelatinous substance.
"Ahh! You're awake." Terrance was fully smiling now.
"Ugh... What's going on?" I was confused as to where I was. But I knew exactly what was going on.
"Didn't I tell you? We are going to take away your ability to leave this universe." He gave me an excited smile as he rummaged through some supplies just out of my field of vision.
"Why are you even concerned about my ability?!" He was almost angered by my words.
"We've known of your skills for as long as you've been here! You are tearing at the fabric of reality and you must be stopped. Like I said, my ancestors tried to put a stop to another 'Traveler' and failed! I will not do the same! You see, years ago when my great, great, great, great, gr- well you get the idea. My grandfather built this place. When he did, his intentions where not at all about helping the mentally ill or doing good work... It was for stopping your kind! Your kind needs to be disposed of, so that the rest of us can live in harmony!" He was angry and only getting angrier.
"You don't need to do anything rash! I won't leave this universe anymore, I swear!" I figured, if I'm going to be living in Equestria permanently, then I won't need to 'Travel' anymore. He only laughed at me.
"Like I can take your word for it?!" He stressed the sarcasm. Terrance pulled up two small pads at the ends of a couple of wires. Then pressed them together and an electric current was visible.
Electroshock Therapy.... I knew it! So I am in a completely hopeless situation.
"You are never going to see your friends again! You are never going to leave this place again! And you will never... BRING DISHONOR TO MY FAMILY'S NAME AGAIN!" He laughed in my face. I struggled to get out of my binds, but they only grew tighter. I didn't care about how badly I was being burned by the straps grinding against my skin... I needed out! Desperation filled me as I frantically shook myself as if I were having a seizure. My struggles were abruptly put to rest by the pain of a needle sticking me in the arm. I cocked my head to the side, only to be greeted by a large male nurse with a needle gun clenched in his right hand. I figured that the liquid would knock me unconscious again...Not the case.
I wasn't able to move any of my limbs. I was now absolutely terrified. Terrance put the two metal pads together again, to show me the electricity passing between them. My breathing became erratic. My eyes darted back and forth between the pads and the crazed look in Terrance's eyes. He touched them to the sides of my head.
"GAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" My body convulsed and spasmed as much as it could underneath the restraints. Terrance then let off for a moment for some reason. In my dizziness, I saw that he was only pumping up the juice on the machine.
Again... "GAAAAAAAAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHH!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"
"Trust me, Ryan! This will help you forget!" He does it again.
