Past

" Remember what you have done?..." " You caused all of the tragedy, loss, sadness...." Well there I was in a shadow like canyon with dark purple jagged walls on each side and behind me. The same nightmare each night. " It's your fault..." " You can't change...." Those voices attacking my mind felt like hard stabs into my soul as I knew some of these were true. My vision was blurry and crossed eyed. It was dark and foggy, Then I saw shadowy figures... of my friends. " Why...." "Why did you do this..." They echoed. " We trusted you..." Their voices pained me but I stood strong. They disappeared and I kept walking. I stopped at a shadowy of my parents. " My son..." "Why have you done this to us...." My dad murmured. " These innocent people... all gone...." Hearing their voices almost made me fall but I had to keep going. They faded away. I knew this nightmare was trying to guilt me and keep me away from my destination. Then the hardest of all appeared. Fillies

I saw a blue filly with pink hair with big eyes staring at me. When those giant eyes looked at me it sent a knife through my heart. I fell to the ground. "Why did you do it mister?" That sentence finally knocked me down on my stomach. I was thriving in pain. Then another filly appeared. An yellow coat with yellow hair. It stared into to me like the last one with so much passion it blasted me at a wall. My back bleeding and broke. I had to get up and face it. I walked toward and closed my eyes. " Mister why are you doing this?" That voice did it, forcing my eyes open I saw a Gray mane with black hair. This particular filly had been my friends child and I used to play with him all the time. The area around me faded and then I saw the house we used to play in. It was calm and clean, but something flashed and it was the picture of the same room except covered in blood and darkness everything was messed up and nothing was happy. Then it flashed back to the clean room. After seeing that room the clean had a more eerie look to it as it was so perfect. Then The two rooms flashed second after second. I could only yell one word." STOP!" I yelled. Then I was back in the canyon.

I had never been this far. The fake pain or the scariness of the area usually woke me up but this time I wanted to conquer it. I kept walking and then I saw the burning town where I had just left. My home, everyone's homes, everything was burning and being destroyed. The sight pained me and the flames rose the temperature over 90 degrees. I felt like passing out right there but I couldn't. Next I saw the people being brutally mutilated.  I saw limbs coming off, decapitation, and people being chopped in half. This made me want to puke and just stop and turn around, but I knew this would never end with me wanting it to. I saw everything being ruined and horrid images everywhere. I made it of that place, just to make it to a sword inside of a stone pillar. The sword mas shining like silver, and it had been the thing I needed to defeat this nightmare, but as I was going toward to it. The two stallions I left at the town hall appeared. Except they were bigger and had glowing red eyes. I had to fight or lose trying. They ran toward me and I ran toward the sword. The one on my right swung at at me and pushed into a wall. I fell to the ground and he was about to step on me. Then I rolled to my left to avoid that. I kicked the one the right onto the ground he disappeared and the other one tried to smash me with his hoof. I ran right, and bucked him in the back. He fell right down on the ground. I started toward the sword and pulled on it. It didn't budge. I pulled on it again. Nothing. No...no this can't be the end! I have to finish this nightmare! As I said that I pulled one last time. The sword came right out, and the doors in front of me opened. I saw my self holding a dark sword with shadows coming off of it. I had to fight... fight myself.

I knew this would be the end of these nightmares. Right now. I lunged at him with the sword and he struck at me when I got close making a large cut in my body. He laughed at me and sliced me again. The white hot pain inside my side felt even worse when the large piece of metal ripping through my flesh. I got up and held the sword in front of me and stared him in the eye. He lunged at me but I blocked the piece of metal with my own. Him readying an attack. He swung low going for my legs I quickly backed up and dodged it. He was still recovering from that attack and was vulnerable. So I swung at his back cutting him and him showing his spine him backing up. He hung his head down. I knew he was giving himself up. I swung at his head going to kill him. Then he quickly backed his head up. Stabbing me in the stomach. I was awake now knowing I had failed. So close.
