Room of Angel

Chapter 1

Special thanks to my editor: Rainbowsoldier94

A bright and warm sunlight was entering through the curtain-less bedroom window, illuminating every corner of the room.

Twilight’s eyes shot open, her heart hammering her chest. The intense sunlight hurt her eyes, she closed them again. But that was not bad at all; at least she discovered that all that she has faced was only a nightmare. She slowly opened her eyes again and looked through the window, a beautiful sunny day. She never felt so relieved to see the sun.

She got up from her bed and stretched her fore and hind legs for a while. Although she has slept for a good amount of hours last night, that horrible nightmare made no good to her head. A shiver crossed down her spine as she remembered the creature that now started to haunt her mind. Twilight shook her head to get over the thoughts.

“All I need is a good breakfast and some fresh air.” She said to herself.

The unicorn went down the stairs and gone directly to the bathroom. On the sink’s mirror she gave a look at herself. ‘Wow, I’m a mess.’ She thought while looking at her messy mane. With her magic, Twilight turned the faucet and washed her face, turned it off and dried it out with a nearby towel. Levitating a brush, she used it several times on her mane and tail until they was in their normal fashion.

Satisfied with her look, she went to the kitchen and made herself a daisy sandwich and took out a cup of orange juice. Twilight ate slowly, appreciating her meal. Only now she noticed how really hungry she was. Finishing her breakfast, she placed the dishes in the kitchen’s sink and headed to the living room.

“All this studying must had tired me out. Well, I can give this research a break. Yeah, that’s it. Just a walk is not going to…” she stopped her monologue, shocked by what she saw. The front door was totally chained up with something around five to six chains crossing the door side to side with huge padlocks locking them together.

“H-how in the name of Celestia has all this has appeared here?” She slightly stammered.

Suddenly some letters emerged from the center of the door, Twilight got closer to read the tiny and childish writing.

Don’t go out, Walter

“But how…” she started thinking about how all that would happen. “Someone must be pranking me” she walked to and fro in front of the door wondering how and when all that chains had been placed there. She then stopped as she realized.

“Someone is inside my house!” She started investigating for clues but had found nothing; everything was in their usual places. “Maybe someone entered through the window.” With that, she moved again to her bedroom and scanned the window, it was tightly closed.

She flipped the window’s lock and pulled it, but it didn’t open. She tried again but with no success “Oh no… Just calm down Twilight. Nothing wrong is happening, maybe it’s just rusted.” She tried to comfort herself but it was of no use. Nervousness started to build up in her core.

She was going to descend the stairs again but a loud noise came from downstairs, something must have hit a wall or something. It made the floor shake for a moment as if something was piercing through the wall.

The mare quickly ran down and tried to find the source of the noise. She quickly discovered a large hole in her bathroom wall, between the sink and the toilet.

The bathroom’s wall was pierced by something huge; the diameter of the hole would fit two ponies easily. Wood splinters were scattered all over the floor and a water pipe was hanging loose in the middle of the hole. Luckily, no water was flowing from it, what would probably give Twilight some good hours of floor drying.

She walked in to get closer to the hole and strangely, it was seemed endless.

“How is this even possible?” she almost stumbled on a large wood splinter as she came closer towards the hole. A faint breeze sound was heard echoing throughout the hole.

“I must get out of here; I sense no good in any this.” She exited the bathroom and headed to the front door. Twilight glanced at the padlocks and thought on how hard it would be to unlock them. She remembered a lock pick spell and tried it on the padlock. She didn’t feel any progress in her spell and stopped trying.

“Maybe I could break the window.” She thought of what would be the best way to do that and decided to pick up a broom in the kitchen. At least it was long-ranged and would prevent her from being hit by glass shards. She moved herself to the living room window and levitated the broom. She swung it back to give the tool more momentum and drove it back toward the window, but it was simply rebounded by the window.

“No way!” she roared in disbelief. “Am I trapped in here?”

Twilight sat on the floor and placed on of her hooves on her head, the only idea she had left was teleportation.

“How have I not tried that first? Hmpf, unbelievable…”

The mare stood up again and concentrated her magic until her horn glowed its usual light-purple aura as a series of tiny sparkles emanated from it. She heard the usual flash of her teleportation spell and after the sudden light she noticed that she was in the same place.

“I can’t believe this! Why is this happening? The door, the window, my magic, it’s all USELESS!” she roared.

The only way out would be the hole, but it was too dangerous to enter a seemingly endless hole that appears in your house, but it was the only way. She entered again in the bathroom and took another look at the orifice. The building up of tension was making her stomach do back flips.

Taking the pipe with her magic, Twilight attempted to remove it; with no much strength it had gone out of the wooden wall and rested now on the floor.

Her nightmare memories started to flood her mind again. What if she faces some kind of unknown creature like that? She was skeptical about, but after all it was just a dream. But there was too many strange things happening today, so it was better if she carried some sort of weapon with her, in any case she needed it.

Twilight grabbed the pipe again but this time with her mouth and entered head-first into the hole.

Her body drifted quite easily through it due to its size. She continued going on until she saw a light at the end of it. As she came deeper, it was getting closer and brighter. Twilight tried, but couldn’t discern what was in the other side but she continued crawling all the way until she found the end of it.

As the light went out, she fell hard on something that looked like a stair, but it was automatically moving downwards.

She sat up; her vision was slightly blurred by the impact with the metal surface. When the pain subsided, she glanced at her surroundings; it was a cave. The stairs rode her to an end, where she stopped to take another look around. The place where she ended up was a mine. Broken pickaxes and other mining materials were scattered on the ground revealing that the place has been abandoned for a long time.

Twilight placed the iron pipe down for a moment and started wondering about what a strange thing it was automatic stairs or whatever. She didn’t know how it worked and where it came from. Oddly, it was just a one way stair; it would be hard to go up using it. She wondered why someone would make that without planning how a pony would use it to go up.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw, on the other end of the corridor stood a very familiar face.

“Rarity?”
