My Pony: Amnesia
Why hello there my fans, it is I…. GOOSE! Daniel can't come to address you all right now due to the fact that he is currently running away from a pack of wolves. Anyways, My Little Pony does not belong to me, not matter how much I want it to be. Amnesia: The Dark Descent does not belong to me either…..
Chapter 10: Venting Air…
"Hey, uh, Aimi?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember anything from before? Like when you were locked in that cell?" Aimi thought for a few seconds. They had both been walking for a few minutes after Wendell attacked.
"Ummmm," She kept thinking. "No."
"Huh, I thought you recognized- Never mind then, let's keep moving." Daniel noticed her small smirk when Wendell teleported away but thought nothing of it then. He was about to ask another question until he heard voices coming from around the corner. "Hold on Aimi, take this." He handed her the bat and spun his own weapon out. Peeking around the corner, Daniel could see the girls.
"Alright, so Twilight says that they're coming this way." Cassandra leaned against the stone wall.
"So what; now we just wait here and do nothing until then?" Rayne was impatiently pacing back and forth in the hallway.
"Oooh, I can't wait! Imeandoyouknowhowlongit'sbeensinceI'veaten-" Pinkie was busy doing… Whatever she usually does: Bouncing and talking at the speed of sound.
"Can you just do me a favor Pinkie and shut the hell up?" Rayne shouted at her.
"Jeez, someone seems grumpy…"
"Grumpy?!" She stopped pacing and shoved Pinkie against a wall, "Have you forgotten what happened to Fluttershy? She's gone; nowhere to be seen!"
"Calm down, Rayne, I'm sure Twilight is working on it." Applejack nonchalantly murmured from her wall, not even trying to break the two away from each other.
"Heh, do you really think that Twilight, the one who did all of this, really cares at all about us?!"
"Well shit, do you think you could do anything better? Just admit it, we're stuck here."
"NO!" Rainbow screamed; a small, red tear was shed from her eye. Daniel didn't know that they could still feel sadness, "I can't, there has to be something we can do!"
"Like what?!"
"I don't know, just something!" Another tear fell from her face.
"It's okay, Rainbow," Applejack hugged her, "I'm sure she's fine. Why else would that guy take her alive?"
Rayne started to sob harshly and hugged Applejack back. While their Oscar Nominee performance was going on, Daniel and Aimi snuck past them. They never even noticed them until Pinkie heard their footsteps.
She snickered first, "Hi there guys. Girls?!" Aimi ran and grabbed a hold of Daniel, dragging him through the halls until they reached a door. She barricaded it as fast as she could, but the three girls quickly broke through the door. "Hey Rayne," she called to Rayne, "will this cheer you up?"
"Oh yeah, this should do…"
"Alright then, I'm tired of running away, come on you pieces of shit!" Daniel switched his grasp on the blade; Aimi twirled the bat.
"Oh, what's this? Did you guys just get guts?"
"Who cares," Pinkie stepped forward, "More for me to eat!" She lunged at Daniel but instead received a bat to the side.
"HA!" Aimi laughed.
"Ugh, she never really could defend herself anyway." Rayne was next and ran at Aimi. She dodged the incoming bat swing and managed to cut Aimi in the arm. Daniel stepped in and kicked Rayne away, and her head hit the stone wall hard. Applejack grabbed the random chainsaw off the shelf.
"Don't do this Applejack."
"YOU NEVER LOVED ME!" She screamed as she revved the motor and charged.
"That's because we never really were in love!" Daniel managed to grab the flat part of the blade and stopped the saw.
"YES WE WERE!" Casey yanked it away and took another swing. He easily dodged it.
"Then what happened between the time I met you and the beginning of this test?"
"We…. We…. UGH!" She swung again and almost hit Aimi. "You've been cheating on me with her haven't you!?" Cassandra swung one last time until Daniel knocked the weapon out of her hand.
"Get it into your head, CASEY, we were never together, Twilight just brainwashed you. Why do you think that the event's from then and now make no sense? I've never kissed you before in my life."
"NO! That can't be right!"
"Believe what you want to believe; we were never together." Daniel glared at her, "Come on Aimi, let's go." Aimi nodded and followed close behind. She placed her hand on Cassandra's shoulder before she left the room. Outside, Daniel could hear Applejack crying…
"Nice job there Daniel," Leinad walked up from behind Daniel.
"Well, I do my best to survive."
"Daniel?" Aimi stared at both of them; she was trying to figure out whose hand she should hold.
"Don't worry Aimi, he's okay." Daniel decided for her and grabbed her hand.
"So… Where are you off to next?"
"I seriously have no idea." A loud roar came from up ahead, "From all the bad guys around here, I'm guessing that I'm getting closer to the end of this maze." He spun his blade out.
"You're probably right. Tell me Daniel, what are you going to do once you find Sara?"
"I'm going to kill her."
"Why is that?"
"I'm tired of this damn test and the stuff in it. I think it's about time for her to go to sleep anyway." He nudged Aimi to take out her weapon. "Don't you think so Aimi?"
"Hmmm," Aimi just shrugged and smiled. She really had no idea what he was talking about.
"I believe that's a great plan, Daniel." Leinad stopped walking and watched the two go around the corner.
"You ready Aimi?"
"Yeah!" She let go of Daniel's hand and twirled the bat. Ahead of them was a large group of "zombies" appeared. He hoped this wouldn't take long; Daniel was pretty bored…
Back in the white room with Zero and Jessie, (or Fluttershy; whatever you want to call her,) Zero was trying to explain something very difficult; Miss Reflection, his earlier partner from an organization, had just tried to kill Jessie. Why, might you ask, was unknown to the both of them. Zero explained that the both of them had found an ancient artifact that grants the user their full power. Miss Reflection, who was given that nickname for her ability of imitation, tried to use that same artifact. The only down side, however, is that if the user is not strong enough to control their new powers, they would eventually go insane. Miss Reflection managed to survive a whole week before going insane with power. The first stage was her moral compass; she started becoming selfish and less caring. The next and final stage was her identity; Miss Reflection became so embedded with her disguises that she forgot who she really was. She soon turned her back on Zero. He didn't explain the part about her almost killing him.
"I'm sorry Fluttershy, I should've told you-"
"Oh no, Zero, I'm okay aren't I?"
"I know, but you could've-" She hugged him in order to shut him up. Zero did, in fact, and hugged her back; they stayed like that for a while. Zero and Jessie later locked eye contact. "I should, uh, you know, run tests or whatever…"
"Yeah I, um, also have some things to, uh…." They both awkwardly stood up. Zero went into his room and Jessie to hers. Whatever they tried, however, they couldn't get that one thought out of their head…
Meanwhile, Aimi and Daniel were finishing up some remaining Shadow Puppets; the nickname for those shape-shifting monsters. Black blood was splattered everywhere, including on them.
"Are you okay Aimi?" Daniel noticed the way she started to sway back and forth.
"Ugh…" The cut on her arm was turning black around the edges. Her cuts caused immense pain in her side and she almost fell. Luckily Daniel caught her. A small flash back occurred again.
"Whoa, it's okay, I got you Aimi." He draped one of her arms over his neck and hauled Aimi over to a room that wasn't locked. Laying her on a table, Daniel went to go search the glowing objects for Laudanum. When he finally found some, Aimi started to moan in agony. "You're okay Aimi, you're okay," He carefully placed the bottle over her mouth and dripped it down. As he did this, the cut started to, uh, "unblacken" and shrink away. Aimi was still moaning from something else though. "Uh, Aimi, are you okay?"
"NO!" Her arms shot up like she was trying to defend herself from something. "Please, I'm sorry!"
"You- You said something?"
Aimi screamed again, "LET ME OUT!"
"Come on Aimi, wake up!" Daniel tried to shake her awake to no avail.
"I can't remember how to say some words," She started to say, "It's really weird; I feel like I know the word, but it doesn't come out." Daniel just sat down on the table and waited for her to finally wake up. He listened to her murmur a few times to someone in her flashback. Aimi was reliving the past couple of solitary days. "I- I- I- I'm… S- S- S- So- Sorry…" was the last thing she said before her eyes opened. Aimi's gaze floated around the room and settled on Daniel.
"Are you okay Aimi?"
She nodded, "Uh-huh."
"Good, because for a second there-" Before he could finish the sentence, she hugged him tightly and started to cry. Daniel did nothing to stop her; he knew what she most likely saw and hugged her back. This was the second time she cried into his shoulder, but this time Aimi finally remembered all of her past. It scared her.
"A- A- Alone…"
"Not anymore Aimi, I'm right here." Aimi finally stopped crying and instead sniffled in fits, "There we go, all better?" she nodded, "Alright then, let's get going shall we?"
"Yup," Aimi put her bat away and got off the table. The two of them walked away from the room and went back outside. The torches that used to be lit were now pieces of smoking sticks. Daniel switched to his night-vision and scouted ahead. Aimi grabbed the flashlight from his back-pack and turned it on. After, she grabbed his hand.
"Stay close behind-" In the distance, Daniel could see a bright ball of light. When he shut off his special vision, he found the ball of light to be made of fire. Shoving Aimi aside and dodging it as well, Daniel spun his knife out afterwards.
"Hello Daniel."
"Hello Aimi." Two voices spoke in unison. Another fire ball was shot towards them, but this time it lit every torch in the hall.
"Ugh, it's the Twins isn't it?"
"Why yes,"
"it is us." They walked closer to Daniel, showing their faces.
"Do you guys really finish each other's sentences?"
"If you have a problem with that,"
"Feel free to address it with this spell." Both of their bodies lit up with electricity, and a bolt of lightning flew towards Daniel. It nicked him in his shoulder, sending a jolt of pain through his body.
"The things I put up with… Aimi, are you okay?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, here," He tossed her the back-pack, "Look through the back-pack for a book. It should say For Dummies: Incantations okay Aimi?" A ball of green acid hit the wall next to his head, "And quick!"
"That stupid book,"
"will not help you."
"Our spells,"
"are far too strong."
Daniel disappeared into the darkness, "Listen, if you two are going to kill me, could you at least shut up?!"
"You will,"
"pay for that!" The Twins started murmuring and the whole hallway was lit up, revealing Daniel. They started to summon a giant oozing, black ball of darkness and hurled it towards him. It managed to hit him and sent Daniel flying into a wall.
"Are you almost done Aimi?!" Daniel painfully croaked.
"No!"
"Damn…" He rushed towards the two twins but froze in mid-air.
"Your strength,"
"can be admired,"
"but will not work against us." One of their arms flicked upwards and sent him flying towards the same wall he came from. He spit out blood.
"This isn't going to end well is it…" Daniel wiped his mouth and stood up straight.
DO YOU KNOW HOW FREAKING HARD IT WAS FOR ME TO ESCAPE THOSE STUPID WOLVES AND THEN WRITE THIS STORY?!
No, but I have a feeling-
VERY HARD, OKAY?! (Seriously though, I had to scrap so many beginnings of this one chapter, it ain't even funny.) Another thing, I know it's a bit weird for the "romance" thing between Zero and Jessie, but hey, I had fun thinking of what I was going to do next with them…. HAHA!
