Friendship is Powerful

Two hooded and cloaked tall standing figures are walking down a hall towards an old, and rusty double-door. Grunts and grumbling can be heard faintly through the hall. The two figures only focus on getting to the door that stands before them. Upon reaching it, one hesitantly grips the handle and pushes it, opening the large door.

The door opens with a loud creek, obviously from the time It's gone since It was managed. The two figures hesitantly enter the room within. Inside, a set of torches light up on the walls of the seemingly big hall they have just entered. It was the same hall from before, with the round table standing It's center. Standing over this table, Is another hooded figure. It turns to the meet the new arrivals.

Upon seeing them, a pair of red eyes glow under the hood of the lone figure, and a very clear growl comes from it. The two figures glance at each other quickly. "Things did not go as expected. We were unable to locate the human." One of them said. It's voice was a deep and clear one.

The dark figure standing by the table turned to It and slammed a fist down to It, shaking the entire hall. It yelled in frustration as another growl escaped it. "There is no way a human can just vanish into thin air! They do not posses magical abilities! Search again!" It yelled with It's raspy dark voice.

One of the two stepped forward. "If I may ask, can you not simply see It through the magical abilities of the table?" The figure turns to face It's questioner.

"Only when we know of It's exact location, we may be able to observe It. We knew It before because of the amount of energy radiating from him. Now that energy Is nowhere to be found, and until we have proof of his demise, we will NOT stop searching!" The creature yelled again, hitting the table with It's fist.

The creature looks back to It's comrade, and slowly turns back again. "We have our scouts searching, but they have nothing to go on, nor do they know where to search. There are no more places to search. You are the only one who saw the human before It vanished. We know just as much as you do about It's disappearance." The figure speaks.

The other figure now steps forward to be beside his comrade. "What If the human was assisted In It's disappearance? Are we sure that It's still even on Earth?" It asks. The figure at the table stands up, looking towards the other one.

"And where would you suggest we should look then? How has this suddenly come to your mind, Gimelus?" It asks. Gimelus takes another step forward.

"Does It not seem more reasonable than the Human and the energy the comes from It, vanishes into thin air? Or might we be to assume that a powerful being could have sensed this danger upon the human?" Gilemus suggests.

The dark being at the table thinks to himself, and turns to the table, putting both of his appendages on it to support it. "I'm afraid you have me off course, Gimelus. Who would this powerful being be?" It asks.

Gimelus looks back to his comrade, who nods It's approval. "One who was before connected to the elements. One that Is very familiar with the powers It holds. Can you not think of any?" Gimelus asks.

The being leaning on the table had his eyes closed, thinking. Suddenly after pondering this, a pair of red eyes snaps open. It slowly stands to It's full height and turns to the other two.

It stares right into Gimelus' eyes. "Celestia."

I walk towards the pleasant town that lies ahead of me, surrounded by the new friends that so openly accepted me. The town Is beautiful. It has a simple design that is easy on the eyes. It looks like a town from the middle ages. No technology, no cars, no filthy air.. Just a nice and pleasant town. The bright colors also assisted on making It interesting to look at, to say at least.

As we walk along the main road, I spot a few ponies carrying out various food products and places them neatly in baskets to present to passerbys. It seems we were crossing the local marketplace. As we came into view of the few ponies that were out (there couldn't have been more than five or six at the time, It's still fairly early) they stopped what they were doing, and looked towards our direction.

Sigh, as i expected.

They were staring, probably curious as to what the bipedal being walking among six mares was. Although I understand their curiosity, I can't help but feel a bit annoyed. Luckily, after staring for a little (probably around a minute or two) they slowly get back to their business, still keeping an eye on me.

The mares around me glare at the staring townsponies. They do not pay attention to the angry stares of my new friends however. All eyes were glued to me.

I try to not pay attention to all the eyes that are glued onto me as I walk through the marketplace. I think It's best If I get over to Twilight's place before the morning ends. I'd rather deal with this another time.

"We're here Evan. Make yourself at home." Twilight says, snapping me out of my thinking box. She Is motioning for me to enter the door of.. a tree? I failed to notice that. I take a few steps back to get a good look at the thing, which is huge! It's a gigantic tree with windows and a few balconies, and at the top is what seems to be a telescope. I take a second to observe all I can before looking down again at the confused mares.

"Sorry about that, heh.. This is where you live?" I ask Twilight. She nods her head and motions for me to enter. I take a step before realizing something. "Ladies first." I say, motioning for them all to enter. Rarity looks at me with a faint blush on her face.

"Oh, what a gentlecolt you are, darling." She says trotting inside the tree. Her friends follow her inside and I'm left out there still staring up at the tree.

As i enter the door, which I had to sort of bend my head to do, I take a good look around the inside of the tree. Now I'm even more intrigued. There are bookshelves with books filling it to the brim in every direction. Everything inside is wood, so my best bet is that this tree was shaped into a house. Made me think about how much It would suck if something made a hole in the side of it or something.

"Spike! I need you to go and prepare the bed In the guest room." Twilight yelled towards some stairs leading to the second floor. I heard some tiny thunds hit the steps of the stairs, which soon revealed something.. I had not expected to see. To be honest, I think me and 'Spike' were having the same thing going thorough our minds.

We just stood there, staring at each other. I had a feeling that he was going to pull out a gun from a holster and pull the trigger, but that only happens In movies. However, the more important part of my brain was putting together ideas for what this thing IS. He sort of reminded me of a baby dinosaur, like Barney. That almost made me giggle, but I held myself.

"Uhh, Twi..? What Is that?" Spike said, pointing a claw in my direction.  Boy he sounded young. Maybe about eight or ten.

Twilight furrowed a brow at Spike and lowered his claws with her hoof. "Spike! I told you It's rude to point! This is our new friend Evan. He's a human from another world, and the one that crashed In the woods earlier." Twilight explained.

At this, Spike turned his mouth into an 'o' shape, and quickly replaced It with a big grin. "Oh boy! Really?! That's so awesome!" He ran over to me with his little feet, and I just had to smile. Once in front of me, he held out his claw, now inviting me to shake it. "Name's Spike! I'm Twilight's number one assistant, and co-leader of the Golden Oaks Library! Nice to meet ya, Evan." He exclaimed. I happily took his claw, which tickled me slightly.

Twilight, on the other hand, roller her eyes at Spike's overdone self portrayal. "Well, I'm glad you to got along so fast. Spike, could you prepare the guest room for him? I'm sure he's probably very tired after what he's been through." Twilight told him, looking at me for approval.

She was right. I was dead tired, and ever since we started walking from the place we met up, I've just wanted to find a comfy mattress and slam myself down onto it. I nodded at her, and gave Spike a friendly smile. He returned It and ran off to a door across the room.

"He won't take long, he always does his duty as best as he can." Twilight explains. I'm glad to hear that. I just hope he won't end up the way I did.

"What Is he?" I asked, looking towards the door he walked in.

"He's a dragon. Do you not have those where you're from?" Twilight asks.

A dragon?! Holy crap! I grin widely at this, as one of my childhood dreams had now come true. I shook hands with a dragon. Check.

"Uh.. Evan?" Twilight asked, tilting her head. I looked back to her, smiling.

"Heh, well It's not like I haven't heard of dragons but.. They are myths in my word. Well, I guess they're not really myths, as much as fairy tales. I can't really tell you the difference, since I don't even know myself." I talk once more before she can answer. "I'm officially the first human in existence to ever meet a real life dragon!" I exclaim, maybe a bit more than I should have.

The group of mares giggle at my tiny outburst, and Twilight invites me to sit down at a very comfy looking couch just in front of one of the bookcases. I make my way over and plant myself down on the couch which was, to my expectation and complete pleasure, as comfy as It looked. I let out a sigh of relief and close my eyes for a second.

"So.. Evan. How are you? I'm sure you're still a little confused about all this. We all can understand, given the circumstances." Twilight explains, giving me a concerned smile. I look at her and wave a dismissive hand.

"Actually, I'm just trying to make the most of it. Part of me tells me this isn't real, and I'll wake up any minute now, and another part just tells me to move along with it, and take it for what it is." I say, obviously with a hint of exhaustion in my voice.

Twilight gives me an understanding look, so does the rest of the girls. I return their smiles and look to the ceiling. "Well, I don't think you're dreaming. You've had to have seen us before for us to be in your dream, right? And besides, we all have memories and lifes of our own." Rainbow explains. At that, she flies over to me and punches me in the shoulder.

I flinch. "Ouch! What was that for?!" I look at her, flabbergasted. Rainbow just gives me a grin and chuckles. "If you were dreaming, you wouldn't feel that."

I stroke the area of hurt with my hand, and think about what she said. She's right. How can it be that I'm not dreaming? This is all real then? I cross my arms, and return to my think mode.

Doing so, only leads to bad memories.

I unfold my arms and look back at the mares. I nod at them, assuring them I'm alright. I sit myself back into a more comfortable position in the couch, and take a moment to prepare what to say next. I now feel less sure about things, but that's mostly caused by a pair of judging eyes from a certain orange mare.

"I guess I'm not dreaming.. but this all still seems so.. surreal." I say, to no one in particular. Fluttershy steps up to me and puts her hoof on my knee.

"We know It must be hard, but we will all be here for you, won't we girls?" She says, looking at her friends. I look around to see all of them nodding and smiling. That makes me feel a LOT better, and once again I have Fluttershy to thank for it. This mare Is such a sweetheart.

"Thank you all, I really appreciate that." I tell them, a smile putting itself back on my mouth.

At that, we hear the door to the guest room open. Out comes a cheery dragon, looking towards us. He puts his thumb over his shoulder and points back to where he came from. "Bed's all ready."

I get to my feet and make my way past the mares in front of me. I turn before I get to the door. "I just want to thank you all again for this. I don't think I would have made It more than a few days if you all didn't show up when you did." I tell them with a smile.

Rarity steps up. "It's our pleasure, darling. You rest up now and take It easy. Oh, and one thing. Would you mind if I could get your clothes now, and take them with me to wash while you rest?" She asks.

I look at her, unsure how to answer. I don't have any other clothes with me, and I can't walk across town butt-nude. "Um.. I don't know. I don't want to walk around town without my clothes on." I say, trying to not sound rude or ungrateful.

Rarity shakes her head. "Oh no, I will be sure to return them to you right here once they are done. With any luck, you will still be asleep by that time, and I can put them right there outside the door." She smiles reassuringly, but tilts her head after a few seconds. "Do you mind me asking why, though?" She asks.

I only then really think about what she's asking. I really didn't think of It that way before, but there ponies are sort of.. naked. Well, the only one wearing anything related to Is Applejack, and a hat is more of a decoration rather than clothing.

"Well.. back where I'm from, we don't really enjoy walking around naked. It's a human thing." I explain, scratching the back of my head with an awkward smile.

Rarity smiles, blushing a little. "A species that lives everyday wearing clothes?! You must tell me all about the styles of fashion from your world, Evan!" She gleams, leaning on her front hooves.

I slowly back up towards the door. I give Rarity a smile, and then turn to the others. "Thank you again. I'll see you all later." I wave at them as I turn to open the door.

I hear some mares replying with 'sleep tight' and stuff like that. I enter the door and see some stair leading down to a basement area. I see a bed from where I stand, and It makes me feel like the bed is a magnet, while I am a big pile of metal.

"Darling, would you mind putting the clothes outside the door before you close it?" Rarity asks me. Oh, i almost completely forgot. I assure her as I hide behind the door and start pulling them off. When succeeding with removing them, I notice how dirty I currently am. I smell like a piece of used coal.

Once I finish my private strip-show, I pull the door up slightly and lean my upper body out and place the pile of clothes there for Rarity to pick up. I look at the mares, waving my hand. "Goodnight, I guess." Twilight giggles at this and points at the clock on the wall.

9:30 AM.

I chuckle. "Well, good morning then." I say. They all share a chuckle before turning to leave the library.

Just before closing the door, I turn to see the mares smiling at me, while waving their hooves. I catch a glimpse of Applejack, and meet eyes with her long enough to notice her stare once more. I feel like this will have to be dealt with soon.

I shake off the feeling it gives me and turn to walk down the stairs to the basement. I take a moment to observe the basement for all It's glory. There's a machine plucked into a corner of the basement with a little display on it. Looks like an activity reader or something.

I don't know machinery.

After my quick look around, my eyes feast upon the glorious piece of art in front of me. My body meets the mattress in mere seconds, and I'm out like a light.

Don't stop running. Don't look behind you.. Just run.

I feel my legs start to stick to the ground as I run for my life through the darkness and my steps slow down for each time. I panic, for the harder I try to run, the more I can't move. In front of me, smiling at me, are my parents and my brother. I try to reach out for them, but they're too far away. For each step I take, the more they move away. I yell at them, telling them to wait for me.

Something touches my shoulder.

My entire body shivers from the bottom and up, and I turn to see what terror lies behind me.

Big, red, evil eyes. Big sharp claws reach out of the darkness to grab me. I try to move, but fail. The claw grabs me tightly, making sure I can't move, and brings me up to those horrible red eyes.

It stares down at me, enjoying my pain and fear, and a huge creepy smirk appears under It's eyes. The teeth then open, and the claw moves me towards it.

I scream for my family to save me, but when I turn my head towards where I last saw them, I see a huge pool of blood and 3 bloody bodies swimming in it. I cringe at the sight, and turn my head to face my doom.

I scream again, as I feel the mouth close, and trap me forever.

I jump out of the bed, landing on the hard floor. I landed on my knee, and I landed hard. I instantly grab my knee, and grunt in pain as I stroke my hand on it.

Just a nightmare..

I look up at an old clock on the wall of the basement. At least I've been sleeping a little bit. 2:30 PM. Hmm.. maybe I've actually slept for 18 hours and It could be 2:30 AM?

I mentally slap myself. What does it even matter?

Oh, wait. I see sunlight from a tiny window near the roof. Didn't spot that one before.

I collect my thoughts and think about the things I've experienced so far here in Equestria. One thing is being here at all, another thing is.. why?

Why am I even here? And of all, why me? Why did my family just.. leave like that?

Another thing is the matter of Applejack. Why does she give me those judging looks? Can she read minds? Does she take me for a liar? (Well I sort of did lie to them a bit, but that's my own decision. I barely know them and i'm not sure if I can completely trust them.. but they have been VERY helpful to me, and kind, and friendly.. and when I was around them I felt safe. Not safe as in they could protect me or something in that matter, but safe as in being somewhere you belong.

But what is Applejack thinking? I don't know what to make of that right now, but I feel like she's going to bring it up at some point. I guess i'll just avoid ending up in a situation where me and her are alone for the most part. At least until things have settled down for me and i...

Wait.. Can I get back? I don't just want to give up and say that's it, i'm here for good. No. I need to know if I can get back to..

To what? All I ever had was lost before my very eyes.. and the more I think about it the worse it gets.. Well, nobody is down here at the moment so why not.

I cry softly against the side of the bed. I lean my head on the mattress to make it more comfortable for me, but I don't think my emotions really care much for comfort at this point. All I care about it how bad I feel, how terrible it was for me.. and so on.

After crying for another fifteen minutes or so, I slowly rise to my feet and collect myself before slowly walking towards the stairs.

Walking up, I keep hoping my clothes will be just outside the door, waiting for me. Upon reaching the door I take a deep breath before opening it gently, hopefully to avoid unwanted attention at the moment. I take a peek out the little crack in the door, and to my relief, I see a stack of gray and dark cloth.

I carefully grab a hold of my clothes, and quietly drag them inside the door. I close it quietly and turn to go back down the stairs. As I walk down, I notice how smooth my clothes were. And they also smelled amazing! Such a relaxing smell, almost like they were brand new.

That made me smile a bit. I'd have to thank Rarity for this one later.

Actually, maybe not. I think i'll just thank her and be off. I would most likely end up in a big chat of fashion that I really don't want to have. At least not now.

Great. I now have to avoid two of my new friends. Any more? Anything? Nah, the rest are good. I'm particularly interested in this Fluttershy pony most though. She's kinda my type i suppose, if she was human that is. The kind of quiet, calm, and peaceful soul, that only an angel can spawn.

Don't get me wrong though, I can handle a little noise though. For example, i'm able to attend a celebration with loud music, speaking of, Pinkie was planning to throw me a welcoming party. I'm still sort of in disbelief that she would just throw me a party just like that. It just goes to show.

Rainbow Dash, well let's just say that she sure does share my love for staying in shape. Seems like she's been pushing herself pretty hard for the past life and a half, which she also explained during her rant about the Wonderbolts. She's cool enough, but then again, they're all ponies.

I still don't know what to make of the fact that they're all talking ponies.

Then there's Twilight, whom's house I stay in right now. Out of all the six, she seems.. special. It's the best way I can rightly put it. She's well.. cute, in that dorky kind of way. She's definitely NOT what I consider a dork though. I don't really know much about her, but I definitely can tell that she does genuinely care for me.

I snap out of my thoughts as my final piece of clothing pop on. My left shoe to be exact. I gotta say, Rarity did a fine job. She even managed to get that nasty stain off my shoes.

I stand up to my full height and stretch in my 'new' clothes. I feel like a brand new man in these duds. With a little sleep, (and nightmares) and feeling refreshened, i'm all ready to..

Shit. My body smells like.. well, shit.

I would have to ask rarity to spray me over with some of her.. whatever she used on my clothes, after I manage to clean myself. I decide to at

least carry my clothes on me until I get to a potential cleaning station.

Uh, I wonder if they have showers here.

I step up the stairs and prep myself for whatever lies beyond. I open it gently and step into the first floor of the library, which is empty. I guess i'll go look for a shower or something. I hope Twilight doesn't mind me entering her second floor. I make my way towards the set of stairs across the room, and just before I get there, I'm blinded with a bright shining light. It felt like a camera shot me straight in my face.

"Aaah! Oh my gosh, Evan! I'm so sorry!" I hear Twilight's voice say as I try to regain my sight.

I rub my eyes and try to find my surroundings. "Uhh.. Twilight? What happened?" I ask, feeling a bit disoriented. I rub my eyes furiously as the voice of Twilight appears again.

"I had no idea you would stand here, Evan. I was just teleporting back from Pinkie's. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to land on you!" She says. I had finally gotten the brightness away from my eyes, and the first thing I saw was a worried purple unicorn, lying on top of me.

"Uh.. Twilight? You can get off now.." I say awkwardly as I look her in her very concerned eyes. She snaps out of it and realizes that she has me pinned on the ground, and throws herself off me in a hurry. She lends me a hoof, and help me get back on my feet.

I rub my head as I realize something. "Wait.. did you say teleport?" I ask her. She nods.

"Yes. It's what unicorns do when they want to, let's say, 'fast travel'." She explains. I roll my eyes.

"I know what teleportation is." I tell her. Her eyes perk up.

"Really? I thought you mentioned that your world doesn't have any magic!" She steps closer to me as I try to get the last bit of haze out of my sight.

"We don't. But teleportation is a phenomenon that is only used in movies or games or.. whatever. I think scientists are trying to make it work, but that's probably gonna take a hundred lifetimes or will never actually work." I explain her. She nods in understanding.

This is wicked! She can teleport! She did tell me a little bit about them preforming magic while walking towards Ponyville, and demonstrated it on a few rocks lying in the road, but this! She never mentioned teleportation!

Twilight looks weirdly at me as I smile, looking towards nothing in particular.

"You okay, Evan? I'm sorry again I landed on you.." She looked shamefully towards the ground and shifted her hooves a bit. I smiled at her.

"Don't you worry. Do you happen to have a shower?" I ask, changing the subject. Twilight nods, and points a hoof up the stairs I originally intended to go. I nod in thanks as I turn to make my way towards it. I hear Twilight speak up behind me.

"Oh! I need you to come by the bakery in town later tonight. Be there at around Eight O'clock. The bakery looks like a giant gingerbread house, so you won't have a problem finding it. I'm going to see Fluttershy right now, so i'll see you there later. Bye!" She says, not letting me reply as she teleports out of the library. I now stood there with my mouth open, both in awe and halfway in to say something. I turn and make my way up the stairs.

The second floor looks no different than the first, except here was more of a personal area. There was a little kitchen, an eating table, some desks (probably for studying or writing) and a lot of equipment like quills and ink pots. I spot a door just a little to the side from where i had entered the second floor, and push it open slightly.

Inside I find what mostly looks like a toilet from the 60-70's. It's got a simple sink, a toilet that looks a bit like a urinal and sink, but by the looks of it, it had the same mechanism as any toilet from home.

By that, I mean there was the little puddle of water in it to prevent the sewage smell. There was also a little button next to it. I assumed that was to flush.

I spot my target just behind the door i had opened. A simple shower, with all the designs that we have in my own world. I breathe out in relief, and enter the bathroom.

Time is ticking, and I've spent the past few hours just exploring the library. Finally i'm all cleaned up though. Let me just tell you, that shower.. Oh man, that shower. Best one I've had in years! I just had to stand there while all my worried were washed off my face. I also hit up a few books. Given the fact that i'm in a strange, new place, I might just learn what I can from it. Why wouldn't I go outside? Because i'm being cautious, and I don't want to be stared at again.

One book really caught my interest though.

Inside was knowledge about Equestria. Apparently it's ruled by a goddess of day, and a goddess of night. I was of course interested by the fact that these goddesses we're ruling it this very day! In a living body. I just don't understand how they can raise the sun and moon, when the planet turns on it's own.

Oh wait, not my own planet. It might work differently here.

I read on. Elements of Harmony?

For some reason, that word made my eyes lit up. I felt like i had some sort of Deja Vu or something. I shake it off as some random feeling, and I spot yet another interesting thing. Things, actually. All the names of my new friends.

"The bearers of the Elements of Harmony were able to defeat Nightmare Moon and were also able to save the long lost Princess of the Night, Princess Luna. She was banished 1000 years ago to the moon by her own sister. The release would not have been possible, were it not for these heroes of Equestria:

Rainbow Dash: Element of Loyalty

Fluttershy: Element of Kindness

Rarity: Element of Generousity

Pinkie Pie: Element of Laughter

Applejack: Element of Honesty

Twilight Sparkle: Element of Magic

These are the Elements of Harmony.

With all the elements together, they were also able to defeat Discord: The God of Chaos. He was able to escape from his stone imprisonment, but was soon sealed again, thanks to the everlasting friendship from the element's wielders."

My mouth is wide open, and my mind doesn't believe anything it's reading.

They defeated a god?! A freaking god?! This is heavier than I thought. It's a good thing that they seem to fight against the evil, which defines this 'God of Chaos'. Still, I would rather not piss them off. Just to be safe..

Thinking about it, that might give me some issues with Applejack later. Element of Honesty? I'm not sure what to make of that.

Fluttershy's element fit really well, so I have nothing to say about hers. Thinking about it, Pinkie suits hers perfectly, so does Rarity. I guess they all fit their element, since it was given to them after all. Now another question pops up in my head.

What is an Element of Harmony?

I feel my chest sting as I think that, and I grasp it. It honestly hurt like hell, like someone was trying to dig their way out of it or something. What is that all about?

The pain recedes, and i lean back into the couch. I look outside a window and see the sky starting to glow the yellow-ish kind of color, that indicates evening.

I close the book, and make my way towards the bookshelf i had taken it from. I know at least a little more about the place, including that I now know that my host is a guardian of this world.

Well, I guess if they wanted me dead, they would have done it already. God, I need to stop thinking about them being deadly killers, and just be polite towards them. They deserve that much. I rub my temples in confusion of this whole thing, as I take a quick look at the clock on the wall.

7:53 PM.

"SHIT!" I bolt out of the door, and scan my eyes around for anything that looks like a gingerbread house. Where is it? Where is it? I don't know why Twilight wanted me to come, but she seemed to be pretty giddy about it, so why not please the one hosting you and giving you a place to sleep.

Don't take that the wrong way.

Houses of pink, houses of hay, houses of... what is that? Clouds? Never mind.. Wait, is that a cupcake?

I see a giant cupcake poking out over a few rooftops. I see no gingerbread houses, so i'll go to the closest food related building that I can spot from here. I run straight for the big cupcake, and as I turn the corner around the building blocking my view, I see a huge gingerbread house, completely standing out from all else in the town.

Oh, by the way, there were no townspeop-.. ponies around.

It was also creepily silent too. Too quiet for it to just be a normal silent night in this peaceful town, but the kind of silent air that just makes you know something's up. I look around, feeling a bit paranoid right now, and I take a breath and start to walk slowly towards the gingerbread house.

I reach the house after passing through the silent city. Just add some mist, and this coulda been Silent Hill. Not even kidding, it was that quiet. It's almost like the town died.

I reach a blue door. I feel very unsure, but still places my hand on the door knob. I inhale as i pull the door, and reveal a very dark room. Upon opening it the whole way, I can still see nothing but darkness inside. I'm honestly scared at this point.

Am I having another nightmare? Did i fall asleep again? If so, please wake me up. I'm pinching my leg but it's not working. Pinch again. Again. Again.

I slowly but surely take my first step into the dark room. "Twilight? You here?" I whisper a bit loudly. No reply. I take a few more steps inside, and feel something cold run up my spine..

Fuck this.

I turn to leave, but the door slams itself shut, startling me and sending me to the floor. Luckily I didn't land on my knee, again. I am now surrounded in darkness, and another cold shiver runs up my spine as I clumsily and scared make my way back to my feet.

Once up, I look around, expecting to see something grab me out of the dark. What happened next though... let's just say it came rather unexpected.

Unexpected and Pink.
