Behind Closed Doors

The Doctor tapped against the oak wood door, when my eyes drifted away from the door, the window next to it caught my eye. Something shifted in the darkness. Before I could ask The Doctor about what had happened, the door creak open a crack and we were pulled into a murky hallway. The lights were off, leaving our eyes to adjust. With my eye 'problem', it takes a little longer to adjust, so I was stuck in darkness.

All I could see was the dark outline of thin tables, door handles and a female pony infant of us. She opened her eyes, and a brilliant gold burst out, causing light to flicker about the room. She wore a flattering dark blue dress, that covered her whole body, and her hair was done up in a bun. Her hair was the colour of silver with a couple of gold streaks here and there. her face adorned many wrinkles, mostly those that made her look as if she had laughed her entire life. Even now, her face was graced with a soft smile. She kept her eyes on me and she was muttering something to herself, then her eyes drifted to the Doctor, and she jumped backwards, causing herself to bang into a thin table. "Ow" she whispered.

"It's you..." She muttered towards the Doctor, pure wonder crossed on her face.

Mother and Father were back. They gave me food, that tasted like metal and love, and sent me to bed. So I lay here in there dark. Listening to the wind beat and batter against my window, my door was open just a crack, allowing trickles of flickering, gold light streak down my wall. I listened to the soft cackles of the night ring in my ears. Then my parents went to bed; closing my door, and leaving me in black.

Then the shadows shifted, and each time they did, they would laugh. That horrible laugh that would cause Discord to crumble in fear. Good thing I'm not Discord.

"Oh, sorry for startling you... Do I know you?" The doctor said glancing around the room. I rolled my eyes and helped the old mare up

"Don't mind him ma'am, he's an idiot." I said to the mare with laughing eyes. She laughed at my statement.

"Oi!" The Doctor squeaked, causing me to roll my eyes and laugh.

"Hmm... It seems you haven't met me yet..." She said curiously.

"Oh! Not this again!" The Doctor said face hoofing. I glanced at the two ponies, and for a spilt second, I thought I saw a string connecting them.

I got out of my bed, and I immediately regretted it, as the monsters sat still. They disappeared in other words. This gave me no relief, it only gave me more worry.

"I-I'm n-n-not afraid of you!" I stammered to the creatures lurking in the corners of my eyes. I heard a menacing laugh reply and it make me freeze on the spot.

"I doubt that dear filly!" It screeched almost in a completely different language.

"You don't know what I'm capable of!" I shouted, I knew my parent wouldn't be able to hear. Right now, I was in another dimension. I could feel it.

"Oh, we know full well my dear..." It said seriously. I felt something brush against my foreleg and then I saw violet eyes in front of me. Then I fell asleep, or something like that with its last words ringing in my ears.

"If you paint the world with darkness my dear,

And there was only black,

What would the colour of your nightmares be?"
