Chapter 10: Hurt...Again...And Again... And Yet...Again...I'm Still Alone...In The End.

"HE'S THE DEVIL! I MUST KILL HIM! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" A crazy mare yelled trying to break free from the hold of six sercurity guards as they were dragging her back through a hall full of patients and doctors that looked at her both annoyed and confused. Down ahead from the mare's view, was a small colt looking at her frowning. Soon, she couldn't see him anymore when the doors closed in front of her. She was now in a small room. The guards lifted her up onto a bed and quickly strapped her with tight leather belts. "Let me go!" She yelled. The guards backed away looking at her cautiously as she started thrashing around, but remained restrained. She glared at the guards angrily but then her vicious glare targeted one pony amongst the group.

"Now, Viola, you have to calm down. We aren't trying to hurt you, we are trying to help you. But if you continue trying to harm your son, we will be left with no choice but to perform more electrical therapy on you." Levamentum said walking in-between the guards looking at the mare calmly.

"I will not calm down. I will kill that boy. Don't you see, he is the devil. The spawn of hell. I have to kill him. I brought him to this world, I can very well take him out as well!" She yelled starting to thrash around again. Levamentum looked at the guard to his right and nodded his head. The guard trotted to a tray with a needle on top of it. Viola noticed the needle on the tray being carried to the doctor. "Y-you think that will stop me. I will still kill him. Nothing can stop me from playing the role as a mother. It is up to a mother to protect her foal at all cost and the devil will not have control over a foal that is mines. Not when he is dead!"

"Viola, understand that we are only doing this for your own good." Levamentum said picking the needle's handle and trotted to the right side of Viola. Three guards held her body down allowing the doctor to grab her right foreleg.

"No! Don't you put that in me!" She yelled but it was to late as the cold steel needle pierced through her leg, releasing the clear liquid into her body. "NO!" She yelled beginning to cry as her mind started becoming light and drifty. Her eyes started to close slowly as she continued moaning sobbingly. "I...must...kill...him." Her voice faded as she passed out. The guards held for a few more minutes before backing away as Levamentum took out the needle. He backed away and sighed.

"I forgot to numb her leg. Silly me." He said smirking. "Guards, bring in Nihilix." He said looking at the drugged Viola who was knocked out.

"Yes, Doctor Levamentum." One of the guards said before leaving the room. Levamentum motioned the others to leave with him. As he was alone in the room with Viola, he looked at the ceiling and sighed.

"Why, why are you even like this?" He asked looking at her.

The door soon opened causing the doctor to looked at the one who entered into the room. It was Nihilix with a grim look upon his muzzle. "How is she?" He asked.

"Still the same." He said.

"There has to be something absolutely wrong with her every time she sees, "Did she ever told you about her family?" Levamentum asked interrupting Nihilix. The husband shook his head no. "Well, get yourself a chair. You are going to listen to a shocking family background secret."

A Few Hours Later

"S-she never told me that her family was like that." Nihilix said horrified.

"Well...there had to be a reason why she acted so violent to your son's presence. Perhaps it was inherited from her family. The murderous intent in harming their own kin. Maybe she wants to stop this plagued cycle by killing her own son who might bare her family's traits." Levamentum said.

"That is not accurate doctor. You can't simply go mad because you were born this way. Plus, how could my son have what her family members choosed to be. I doubt they were born that way. I doubt that theory even exists." Nihilix said.

"Nihilix, I know that you are an retired psychologists, but you must understand that there is nature and nurture. I strongly believe that your son inherited what Viola inherited from her father." Levamentum said.

"I don't believe either of them inherited those schizophrenics dark taboos. My wife is just sick, that is all. My son is perfectly normal and healthy." He said in a defensive tone.

"Let me ask you a question, Nihilix. Do you pay attention to your son and have you seen him do anything odd recently or alot?" Doctor Levamentum asked. Nihilix thought for a moment.

"My son...he's mostly around mirrors alot. He stares at them alot and doesn't talk much. The ponies in school don't play with him. He is always by himself. The teacher tries having him interact with others but he denies and sits in the corner even on recess. But that is my son, he is mostly busy with studying even on times when he could take a break." He answered.

"Does he talk to himself?" He asked.

"...Yes...he does." Nihilix said rubbing his right foreleg nervously.

"Has he ever responded to his own questions?" He asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"Has he ever stared into the air, looking like he was in some catatonic state?" Levamentum asked sitting down.

"Yes." Nihlix answered.

"Has he ever hurt somepony?"

"Now what kind of question is that?" Nihilix asked glaring at him.

"Has he?"

Nihilix looked down and sighed. He figure these questions would help him in the future. "Yes...a small filly. He did it by accident. The filly kept picking on him near a lake. He got angry and pushed her back hard...her head hitted a rock and she instantly passed out faced down in the water."

"So...he killed her?" Levamentum asked.

"No!" He snapped. "He called me and told me what he did. I came and took her out of the water applying CPR. The blow from the rock knocked bits of her memories out of her head, causing her to forget what previously happened."

"Did you tell her parents?" He asked narrowing his eyes.

"No...I told them she tripped after playing with my son and than accidently tripped falling onto the rock." He said looking down shamefully.

"So...you lied. You lied to her parents that your son almost killed their daughter. Nihilix has he ever acted liked this again?" Levamentum asked. Nihilix shook his head yes.

"This time...it involved a colt. The colt had a medal ribbon. My son wanted it so he tried to get it. But the colt did not gave it to him. My son...he picked up a stick and hit the colt causing him to roll down a hill. The colt was knocked out and bleeding alot from his head after he hit a tree hard. My son told me what he did and had the ribbon in his hooves smiling. My wife saw this and almost stabbed him. She burned the medal ribbon and I managed to put her in our room. I had to take him and find the colt who was surprisingly alive. I took him to the hospital and as he woke up all patched up and well, I asked him if he was alright and remember anything that caused that to happen. Even though I knew what really happened, I had to see if this colt had forgotten anything about that violent event. He did and said he rolled down a hill and hit a tree. I burned the stick my son used on him after that day and told the colt's parents I would try finding the medal their son won. I then told them that I couldn't find it after a month." He said looking at the doctor sadly.

"Nihilix, I know you won't believe me for you are either stubborn or just in denial. But I believe there is absolutely nothing spirtual going on with your son. I believe he gained these murderous antics from his genes, not from his own mother's behavior towards him. Again, it is her genes that are in him, "I don't believe that Doctor Levamentum. My son...he is no sick pony, he...he just needs help. He is young and I must teach him the ways to live in this world as, "Your God is not behind this, Nihilix, it is his genes, I am telling you, "That is enough! I am leaving, do not tell me how to treat my son. Last time I checked, your parenthood with your son didn't end so well." Nihilix yelled leaving the room.

Levamentum sighed rubbing his head frustrated. "Fool...your ignorance is going to be your downfall." He then glances at Viola. "Both of your downfalls."

Levamentum blinked twice finding himself back in the present time. He watched as the Patient was busy conversating to the princesses who were prepared to stop him. But he wondered what it was. He was not told completely to what it was. He was not hinted to finding what he was going to do. He was only a mere pawn used for worthless purposes. He looked at the mare tied up and frowned.

Levamentum opened the door and quickly trotted towards Nihilix who was storming down the hall. "Nihilix!" He called.

The father looked back and huffed. "What?"

"What were their names?" He asked stopping in front of him.

"Who?" He asked confused.

"The filly and the colt?" He asked.

"Peach Glow and Leamas." He said.

"Thank you." Levamentum said. He opened his eyes again finding himself back in the same place. The conversation continued. 'He took her just so he could finish his job. Maybe that is why she is tied up. Maybe that is why he has her. Finishing the job.' He thought looking at Peach Glow shocked. Looking back at The Patient he frowned. 'You are a sad foal. Born this way from a family of ignorance.'
