Ch 1. The doctor is in
'Equestria is a lot like any other town. Small shops that line the streets, cheery little homes with well managed lawns. Yes, everything in Equestria was picturesque, that is except for maybe one thing... The Equestria Insane Asylum. A prestigious building dedicated to helping those with mental illnesses and instabilities. But we believe that the asylum is not a sad place, but simply a place for people to become better, and to rid them of their illnesses, and make them able to associate properly with normal society.'
... That's what sister said, but this place...it's terrible.
When I first came here I was excited, I'd always wanted to help people, help them to get better, so they could leave normal, successful lives. But when I got here, all my hopes where dashed. Equestria Insane Asylum, was just a fancy name for prison. The patients are kept in tiny cells, holding only a bed, and only get an hour a day to socialize. My first patient was a man called Discord, his real name not being known, and he sent my entire perspective of my life, and my humble town, into absolute chaos.
I sat down in the metal chair, sifting slightly trying to get comfortable. Just as I found a satisfactory position, they wheeled him in, straight jacket, muzzle, the whole nine yard.
"Would you like us to stay in the room ?" A guard ask me. I shook my head and the two men left me alone with the diagnosed psychopath.
"Hello ." He held an arrogance about him, but I already knew that was to be expected from his file.
"Hello Discord, how are you feeling today?"
"Absolutely splendid!" Even through the muzzle I could see his grin peeking out through the tiny slits. "Didn't the files tell you that I've been making excellent progress?"
Sarcasm. Annoying, but nothing out of the norm. Best to change the subject.
"How about we start off with some simple questions?" I click my pen ready to write his response.
"Sounds like fun."
"First question, who are you?"
A dark chuckle that causes goosebumps to form on my body. "I am Discord, the lack of harmony between everything and everyone."
Scribble, scribble, scribble. "Why are you here?"
"Because you think I'm insane."
I stop for a second. That's not his normal response as stated in his files. This was just a standard questionnaire, one which Discord has taken many times before and never wavered from his answer.
"What seems to be the problem ?"
"Nothing, next question." Might as well roll with it. "Why do I think your insane?"
"I can't necessarily answer that, because I'm not you, but if I had to guess, I'd say that you think I'm insane because that's what your sister Celestia told you."
He knew about my sister? Well I suppose that's not to much of a surprise, she is the Mayor of Equestria, and he had worked for her once as well. Still it caught me off guard and I looked on in silent shock for some seconds.
"You seem surprised , have I caught you off guard? Why don't I ask you a question, you tell me why you think I'm here." I shouldn't answer, but something about him intrigued me and I wanted to pick his brain. So I made the stupid decision to answer.
"You're here because you killed all those people." Files showed that Discord was once one of my sisters guards, helping to keep her safe. While at a press conference he killed six people, saying it was in defense of my sister.
"I was protecting the Mayor." Simple enough answer to murder. "Wouldn't you have done the same."
"Of course I would have protected my sister, but I would never have killed anyone, especially when there was no actual threat."
"Define threat." He asked, but his voice sounded commanding.
"A threat is a danger to ones safety."
"Ones safety is many things, their image, their status, their reputation- it doesn't just have to be their well being." His eyes fall to half lids as he begin to remember something, most likely gruesome. "Do you know what the people I killed where?"
"They where campaigners to get my sister impeached and have her replaced by Candace."
"Do you know what your sister told me?"
I was growing tired of this little give and take and decided to cut right to the case. "Discord if you continue to ask the questions instead of giving answers I'll be forced to-"
"She said that she would be perfectly happy if all those little Candace campaigners dropped dead. You know what else she told me? To use all force if the campaigners got out if hand."
Shock. Utter and complete shock. He wasn't done yet though.
"When I was standing there, wearing that damn uncomfortable suit, and buzzing little ear piece, I saw a man with a bottle, broken, jagged, sharp prices sticking out, and I saw he was preparing to throw it at your sister, out dearest mayor as she was giving her well rehearsed speech. If courses I stopped him, but when he started struggling against me I did what I had to do." A cold grin spreads across his face. "I grabbed the broken bottle from his hand and slit his throat with it. Oh you can imagine the chaos that ensued, people came charging at me, and I did the perfectly justified thing and defended myself. You can't tell me that if you where in the same position you wouldn't have taken another's life if it meant preserving your own. The while thing is a bit if a haze, I remember snapping a couple necks and stabbing one person in the stomach... Then the police came and subdued me, locked me up, and after a few months of having no one but myself and the psychiatrist they deemed me insane, and now here I am."
It felt as though a ton of bricks had fallen on to my chest and I couldn't breathe. But something nagged at me in the back if my head. "W-wait, the file said you killed six people, but from your story it seems you only killed five."
The smile he gave me... Wa straight out if the depths of hell.
"That's because the woman I stabbed, was pregnant with a seven month old baby girl."
I couldn't take it. I ran out of that room, his laughter echoing off the walls, guards asking me questions but I ignored them all as I barged through the woman's restroom and emptied the contents of my stomach. I continued to vomit until it became nothing more then a dry heave. Then I got up, washed my face, went home, and cried. I had terrible nightmares that night, ones if a baby's crying echoing in my head, and then swiftly silenced with the slice of a blade against flesh.
... I never wanted to go back to that place ever again...but I had to, I had to k ow more about Discord, and I had to help the people inside the asylum. The two things I learned on my first day at the asylum. First, people, even those you've known your entire life, can hold terrible secrets. Second, Equestria Insane Asylum, is a terrible place.
