Off The Trail

Sitting patiently on the bed, a day ago I was stuck on due to my injuries. The now befriended purple unicorn is examining the book the zebra had made. I try to think of what the constant dizzy spells and memories I see when I am out mean. Maybe I am just going crazy after all. But that pain felt really surreal too. Its all so confusing to me. Now looking to the zebra and unicorn chatting very closely and blushing intensely, I wonder what they are saying. The unicorn then turns to me and asks, "Are you a colt or filly?"

A colt and filly? Judging by the way the words sound i presume colt is masculine, and filly sounds very feminine.

"Errrr, uh, colt!" I say.

She then turns back around and continues to read the book.

I try to think what my name is, I feel like it starts with a b, but it could be a c for all I know. Chris sounds like a cool name, I hope that's my name. If I don't remember my name, what will it be anyways.

The all to curious unicorn then turns back to me and says, "I am going to try to get Princess Celestia to come down and identify you're species, and where you are from. You may ask her questions she may have answers for. Me, I don't know who, and what you are. But you seem danger less"

Wait, there's a princess. Is there like fairy's, goblins, and more talking animals!

Thats when there was a loud crash outside.

"What was that!" Twilight screamed.

"I do not know, but it doesn't sound like a crow" Zecora replied.

The wall behind me was then ripped apart and throw away. There stood a nightmare. A cloud of black smoke, leaking darkness and the feeling of despair from it. It stood on two gas like feet, it had no arms, no head, and the body was just the smoke.

"What the hell is that!" I screamed.

"RUN!" Twilight yelled.

I was already half way to doing that when I was picked up and thrown across the room. Slamming into the opposite wall, I staggered and managed to get to my feet. I then faced my attacker which had already done work to the other animals. The purple one was thrown outside of the hut, while the zebra lay unconscious but alive, evident from the breathing, on the ground in front of the bed.

It then picked me up the second time and hovered me in front of it. I looked at the form, and saw what will never leave my eyes. My moms face, among other tormented ones stared back. Foggy yet visible, she said to me, with tears in both our eyes.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you"

Beside the mass, materialized a sharp razor like appendage, which then stabbed, and went deep into my stomach. The darkness leaking from the foggy creature then leaked into my vision, and I was overthrown by darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twilight lay on the ground, bruised and hurt from the fall she had taken. The creature was then floating away, to only then dissipate into the bushes. Twilight through the now missing wall into the hut.

On the floor lay the creature. A pool of black blood forming around him.

"Oh my celestia" She gasped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Images flash, faces blurred, feelings numb. This is what I feel. Nothing, I feel nothing. Floating in a inky blackness. Memories being looked at, and examined.

The feeling of love and warmth overtakes me. The feeling is amazing. It makes me feel wanted, like I have a purpose. Why do I feel like this? What even happened. As i realize I now have control over my thoughts I start to ponder what happened. I remember a darkness, throwing me, injuring me, stab- I cant even think about it. The pain now evident, yet numbed down. Not as painful as you would think, but yet still there.

Now where am I? Am I dead, left bleeding out on the ground.

I'm now cold, freezing. the warmth now gone. i want it back, it felt good.

"It won't leave him without hurting it" A voice said. Loving, and kindness within it.

"Did he bring it here?" A voice I immediately recognize as the purple unicorn Twilight's.

"It was here before me"

"Are you sure?" Twilight asks.

"It would appear so, it cannot interact with entities using magic. That is why your attacks had no effects on it"

"What does it want with him?" Twilight asks.

"I do not know my dear student"

Student, is this a teacher. Am I in a school?

"Twilight, im going to try to bring him back, would you mind assisting me?"

"Yes princess" Twilight says.

Wait, woah woah woah. Princess, magic, student?

The feeling of warmth then overtakes me once again, stronger though. The feeling of pain now coming back as more of the warmth goes through my mind. Then nothing. No feeling, no pain, no warmth, no cold.

"He needs rest, we will check on it within the next hour" The "Princess" says.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Twilight did you notice anything distinct about him" Celestia says.

"No, why?" Twilight responds.

"I am surprised you did not notice, but I did not teach you anything about it too. For this creature does not have a substantial  amount of magic. In fact he has left to nothing in it" Celestia says.

"But, there is magic everywhere. There is no way he hasn't at least interacted with magic" Twilight responds.

"Twilight, that is what worries me. He isn't from here" She says.

"Well yeah, hes probably from some other country" Twilight says.

"No Twilight, hes not from this world" Celestia gravely says.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes open, to a white roof. Looking to my left I see a I.V kit. A needle in my arm with a liquid being pushed into it. Im in a hospital, flowers to my left. Balloons saying "Get Better Soon" I look to my right and see a table beside my bed. A picture of me, my mom, and brother and dad. But the faces of my brother and dad are blurred, unable to see.

I shoot back up, awake. It was a dream. The room I am in is marble white. The door in front of me is wooden, beautifully crafted.

Look down I see my lower torso is wrapped in bandages. Upon seeing the wrappings I feel an intimidate pain in my side.

"It will take time to heal, my magic can only do so much. You're body should do the rest" A voice said.

I look to my left and see the princess. Of course she is a horse. She stands taller than me, colored white with a........ floating rainbow mane? I don't even know what to expect anymore.

"Can you speak?" She asks.

"Y-ye-yea" I stutter.

"How do you feel?" She asks.

"It hurts, but its bearable" I say.

"I expect you have a lot of questions" She says.

Oh boy, I do.
