This Title Sucks

Unwanted Memories

"What do you mean by acting nice!? She was already nice from the start!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Yes. Nice. No she was nice I mean what princess would order her guards to capture a creature that wanted to leave. Yeah, that's right. A NICE one." John said sarcastically. "And don't get me started on the times I was tortured." Again there was shocked silence. 'Seriously what is up with the silences, if it was normal T.C. she would have been ranting about how I would have never escaped, and, possibly, rape me in front of the guards.' John thought.

Celestia got a horrified look on her normally calm face and was blushing profoundly. "I WOULD NEVER DO THAT YOU VILE CREATURE! HOW DARE THOSE THOUGHTS ENTER YOUR HEAD!?"

"WELL it seems the rumors that you could read minds is true." John said while trying to rub his ears but failing, "Well it's a wonder I managed to get this far with my half baked escape plan." The latter he said under his breath.

"Hey what did you mean by torture exactly?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah the Princess wouldn't harm a fly!" Rainbow Dash called out, adding her own two bits.

"Never ask a slave what tortures he's been through." John said with a tone of cold stone, "Lest your minds not take the stress."

"But.. But we really want to know." Twilight said with a heart-wrenching look in her eyes.

Luckily John was immune from the tricks "No and leave it at that."

Meanwhile Celestia was deep in thought when she spoke up "How about I will release you on the condition that you tell us about what you have suffered through."

"Okay, so, Freedom for a few horrible memories that would make even the toughest men/stallions run away in fear?" John said, thinking aloud, "Well it is freedom so sure. Why not? But I'm not going to tell you I'm going to show you. Celestia isn't there a spell that will let other people/ponies see into memories?"

"Yes, there is but I would have to find it in the archives." Celestia answered.

"Well go get it. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." John replied back.

Uneventful moments later

Celestia came back to a middle of a fight. It was Rainbow Dash against John. "Why did you punch me you hairless ape!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Because you hit me in the balls!" John yelled back. All the other ponies were looking back and forth between the two. Celestia, slightly amused, held them both back by her magical aura. "Well I got the book that has the spell in it." she called out.

"Well finally. I was just about to punch this creature square where his jaw is." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh yeah. Well then care to explain how you MISSED the first time." John shot back.

"ALRIGHT ENOUGH!" Twilight shouted. Both of them settled down a bit, but were still glaring at each other. "Lets just get this over with. Okay." She said glaring slightly at the other two.

"Anyways how many will be coming into my mind. I want them to wipe their feet before they come in." John said.

"Well it's not as if your mind can get any dirtier." Celestia said dryly.

"Lets get this over with. I want my freedom." John replied back.

"Alright here it goes." Celestia said starting the spell.

In the mindscape

John looked around and saw a vast emptiness. "Alright if anyone says I have an empty mind I will kill you." He turned around and saw Rainbow's mouth open before she closed it. "Humph thought so."

He thought up of each torture he's been through during his entire life. Immediately there was a doorway big enough to fit Discord standing up straight. "Well lets go." John walked forward and opened the doors to his horrors.

The first torture he had been through was the lashes of the whip for back talking when he was 2. You could see the whip cut into his flesh and pull out in gruesome detail and hear the screams of the child in agony. "Oh my." Celestia said shocked "Who is that boy?"

"What? Can't tell when it's me crying out in pain or have you gone deaf from how many times it has happened." John answered coldly and continued walking.

The next torture was when he was 5. This was for insulting Warden Shining Armor. "Ah so you think your tough don't you. Your just a little whiny BITCH who wants his mother. Well I got news for you. It was your parents who sold you out for their own freedom." Shining in the memory said. Everypony in the area looked at the Shining Armor not from the memory with horrified expressions that matched his own.

"This was one of my other tortures. They would put me in water," As if to demonstrate the boy was forced into the small tub of water, "and use the pegasi magic to create lightning to electrocute me." again, as if by some unseen force, two pegasi came out with a thundercloud and hit it when it was right above the tub sending over 1,000 volts into the water and the boy. "Now moving on to another one." John said not even bothering to look back at the others.

The next area had a giant medieval stretcher. This time John who was now 8 was being attached to it. The ponies and John himself heard his screams of excruciating pain from being stretched. John went into the next room not bothering to check to see if the others were following.

The next room was where John, who was barely 10, was stone faced as he went back to the lashes and again to the stretcher when he was 11.

"Now here are some of the more recent ones," John said, "Oh and just so you know this has mature content so squeamish viewers cover your eyes. I don't want some throw up all over my mind."

In the next room they could see John, who was now 13, tied down to a chair with scars all over his face and naked body. Near the chair was a table with a bloody knife on it and the floor was covered with blood. They hear the John in the memory say "Wow they must be really desperate to find the one who was thinking about starting a rebellion if they brought you in, Element." The ending was spat out with disgust.

Then they all heard a familiar voice, "Oh yes Tyrant Celestia will be pleased when she hears how I broke you." The voice belonged to Pinkie Pie.

John remained defiant even though he knew he was about to die before he gave away his friend. "You won't learn anything from me. Just give it up." The last thing they saw was Pinkie Pie, with her mane straight down, plunge the knife into his gut while laughing gleefully.

Now they were back at the beginning of his mindscape. All of them looking at John with sad and shocked expressions. Their thoughts were scattered after what they saw. Then John spoke up "Judging from the way you reacted through my entire thoughts, it seems that I am NOT on the same planet, or plane of existence, in that matter. Just so you know at the age of 11 I caught the eye of a certain leader. She was know as Tyrant Celestia. I became her...... 'Personal' slave. I will not go into details. I will only let Celestia here into my thoughts, but she must respect that if I say no she will not be allowed to view my other thoughts. From there though I don't know where I'll go."

After a few moments of silence Pinkie Pie asked a question, "Where will you be staying then?"

"I don't know. I might stay at the castle if Celestia and Luna allows it." He said looking at the duo.

"Yes you can stay at the castle as long as you don't try anything against us. I saw some of those thoughts you had about us and I must say you are very naughty." Celestia said after discussing it with Luna for a bit.

At the last part John blushed a little bit and said, "Stay away from those thoughts they get kind of freaky deeper down."

Celestia laughed a little bit and stopped the flow of magic to the spell and, the next thing anybody knew they were back at the front gates.

A/N Wow longest chapter so far. Anyways what do you think about John now that you delved a little deeper into what he has been through. Must say my hand HURTS!!!!!
