Jay Sky
Chapter 1: The Dark Room
(This story is about my OC, Jay Sky. Jay Sky is how I would imagine myself as a pony. Childish most times but can be serious. Likes to wander and is curious. Also very shy and doesn't like to be in large groups of ponies he doesn't know. He is also creative and loves to make art and stuff. So please, enjoy :D)
There was a faint breathing sound. The room was full of darkness, it looked as if it was just one big dark void. Then suddenly, there was a loud crash and a blue leg fell through from above and a stream of light followed it. I made a slight whimpering sound as the leg shot out. All was still and quit, really quiet. A small shadow was cast down into the room as a muzzle appeared into the hole.
"Hellooo?" It spoke "Anypony in there?"
I backed up and the room shook. All of a sudden the floor beneath me just disappeared and I started to fall. I didn't know what was going on or where I was. All I knew was that I was in trouble. I tried screaming for help but air had rushed into my lungs before i could speak. Down below the trees were coming in quick.
Down and down I went, gradually picking up speed. I could feel the wind rip a my mane and wings, I had to close my eyes just to keep the wind out.
"Don't worry little filly!" A voice shouted "I'm coming!"
This new sound scared me and I instinctively began to kick at the air with all four of my legs. I was about to stop kicking, but then my hind legs thudded against something solid.
"Hey! Stop kicking!" The voice said again, this time it was right behind me "I'm trying to help you for crying out loud!"
I didn't know what that meant, everything was so confusing. The only thing I knew was that there was something behind me and I was scared. I kept kicking and and tried to scream but air filled my lungs again. Everything was so confusing and my head felt like it was spinning. I opened my eyes a little bit to see where I was going.
Straight below me was a large forest, it looked like it stretched forever on one side. On the other side it didn't stretch as far, it actually ended in a near straight line and a small group of buildings was near it. I followed the forest until it came to a line where it just dropped. The trees went out of sight and view that took its place was a fiery orange sky. There was a large orange colored thing that was peeking out over the line where the trees dropped. This sight was scary and wonderful at the same time. It kind of had a sleepy trance to it.
I shook my head and looked away. Now wasn't the time to sleep, I was falling and i wasn't stopping. I tried to scream out again, this time I got a small peep out.
"If you just stop moving I can save you!" The same voice said.
For some odd reason I trusted the voice, so I stopped kicking and my whole body went limp. I felt something wrap around me, it was so sudden that I freaked out a bit and curled up into a tight ball. Next thing I knew I was falling again.
"Almost had you!" The voice cried out with a bit of disappointment.
I opened my eyes to see that I was face down towards the ground. I could see slight movement in the trees below, looks like creatures were running away. It was odd, what were they afraid of? Everything about this world was so confusing, nothing made sense. So many questions were racing through my head as I fell faster.
"Help me out little filly, spread your wings!" The voice cried out again.
Without hesitation, I quickly unfurled and opened my wings as far as they would open. I unfolded my wings half way, it hurt so bad. And to make it worse the sudden rush of wind tore at my wings until they were fully extended. The pain was unbearable, I felt a warm liquid ran through my feathers and soaked them. I screamed as loud as my lungs would let me and tried to close my wings, but the wind kept them open.
Below me I saw a blue blur followed by a rainbow. It was the weirdest sight of all that had happened. I fought back the wind with quick beats of my torn wings. It hurt more than anything in the world and I had no success. The only good thing is that I actually did slow down, a lot.
That's when the scariest things happened. The blur flew right under me and then turned upward, shooting straight up at me. The sound rushed out of my ears and my pain subsided as fear took over. My eyes widened and i wasn't even bothered by the wind ripping at the corners of my eyelids anymore. The only thing that I was focused on was the blur as it quickly rose towards me. It was absolutely terrifying.
"Don't worry!" The voice said, it sounded as if it came from the blur "I'll catch you!"
Something about the voice felt reassuring and I closed my eyes again, letting my trust fall upon the blur. The next feeling I had was so weird, yet it was calming too. I let the wind run freely through my wings as they went limp. The air began to whistle in my ears again, and I gained speed. It felt like I was falling forever, as if time was just flying past me.
This feeling was instantly stopped by the sudden jolt of shock that ran through my chest. I would've screamed out in pain louder than the roar of the wind. But almost as quick as the pain had started, I lost consciousness and blacked out. My body went limp as the feeling of the rushing wind and the pain went away.
