A/N: Hey all! I had originally planned out a series of events for this story, but now I'm considering just wrapping it up in a few chapters. I'm not one to pull out reviews from my readers, because frankly, it's your guys' choice whether to review or not and it's not right to try to force you to review. It's just that I put up stories for two reasons. One: to bring entertainment and joy to readers, two: to grow as a writer. If I don't get a single review for a story, I feel like I don't know what direction to head since I don't know whether people like what I'm coming up with or hate it. I already promised to finish this story, so I will, but without a single "good" or "bad" I don't think I should spend so much time and effort on this when I have ideas for many new stories. I just felt the need to let everyone know why I'm just cutting this story short in case there are any silent readers out there. Thanks to all of you who have added this story to their favorites and alerts. You guys are the only reason I decided to keep going with this story this far.

I don't own Dr. Horrible. Enjoy the chapter! Hope you like it.

Listen close to everybody's heart

And hear that breaking sound

Hopes and dreams are shattering apart

And crashing to the ground

I can hear a pair of synchronized voices echoing in my thoughts. It's black in front of my eyes. I furrow my eyebrows trying to figure out what's going on.

I cannot believe my eyes

How the world's filled with filth and lies

But it's plain to see

Evil inside of me is on the rise

I try to open my eyes, but my eyelids feel heavy. My heart is pounding in my chest. I feel like I'm spinning. Like I'm falling.

There's good in everybody's heart

Keep it safe and sound

With hope, you can do your part

To turn a life around

I try to block out the voice. I don't want to hear it. I stir slightly and realize that I can't move. I bound in place. Trapped.

I cannot believe my eyes

How the world's finally growing wise

And it's plain to see

Rapture inside of me is on the rise

I finally manage to slowly open my eyes. I'm in an empty, dark room. I grip my hands and feel the burn of a tight rope around my wrists. I move my eyes and scan my surroundings. My eyes land on a figure in the corner.

"Took you long enough to wake up."

"P…Penny?" My voice is barely above a whisper, but she still manages to hear me.

"Pfft. You still haven't figured it out, have you? Alright, let me spell it out for you. I'm. Not. Penny." She speaks mockingly to me. I slightly raise my head and see that she's standing right in front of me now. Not Penny. But she looks just like her. I turn my head away and shut my eyes again.

"Look at me when I talk to you!" She grabs my jaw, driving her nails into my cheeks, and roughly pulls my face to look at her again. I reopen my droopy eyes.

"What…what do you want…from me?"

"Wow, you are so dumb! Evil genius? Yeah, right." I stare at her confused. She sighs in frustration. She is definitely nothing like Penny.

"A few weeks ago, you were going on and on about a machine you've built. That machine…is what we want."

"…we?"

"Yes, we." I hear a masculine voice behind me. A disgusting, ugly, masculine voice. I let out a groan.

"Oh? That upset to see me? Well, don't worry, we won't be here long as long as you're willing to cooperate with us."

"I don't know what you're talking about." I can feel a throbbing headache starting at my temples.

"Oh, don't play with us. We've watched your blog. And we'll do anything necessary to get that machine!"

"Hammer…you can do whatever you want…I'm not giving you…anything."

"Oh, then how about me? How can you say no to a pretty face like this?" The Penny look-alike is in my face again.

"Why do you even want it?"

"To get revenge."

"For what?"

"Don't you remember? You killed my sister." Suddenly, the world froze around me. Everything went silent. My mind went blank. My heart stopped beating. Sister. That's why she looks just like her. She's her sister. Penny's. Penny's twin sister. I look up at her. Shocked.

"Hah! Look at his face." Hammer chimes in, bringing me back to reality.

"If…if you want revenge from me, why don't you just get it now? What's the need for my machine?" My voice is shaking.

"Oh, you idiot! I don't want revenge from you. I want revenge from her!" I look up, clearly confused.

"Then, why…"

"That little…she left me to die in that cold prison…I'll never forgive her for that. I had vowed that I would get my revenge from her. But you killed her before I could. I can't let her die that easily after what I've been through. That's why I need to go back…and kill her myself, slowly and painfully."

I don't understand what was going on. It is too much to take in at once. Her twin sister. Prison. Revenge. My time machine. What is all this? What am I supposed to do?

Ok, I'm going to stop here for now. Hope all of you liked this. Thanks for reading.
