Death to Life

My head hurts like hell as I slowly wake up from a deep trance-like state. All I remember is Sarah getting bitten and getting trapped and... "AMBER!?" I yell as I jerk up looking for her. I reach for my gun only to realize it's no longer at my side.

I hear a clearly feminine voice scream when I shout. I realize at that moment that I cannot see anything and I can't move my legs. What the hell is going on?

"I g-guess you're awake." The voice says calming down from her mini heart attack. I realize now that I must be blindfolded and my legs are bound to what I assume is a table.

"Fuck you, where's Amber!?" I demand once I realize I'm basically being held captive by whoever the hell this woman is. As odd as it sounds, It smells like wood and old paper in here. That's odd considering all the walkers in th-

"What? Who's Amber? Is she your friend?" I'm cut off mid-thought by the stranger.

"How about you take this blindfold off of me and let me go so I can find her? How did you get us out of the Walmart?" I demand struggling against the bindings.

"Wal... Walmart? What the hay is a Walmart?" The woman says in a confused tone. Seriously? Where did you grow up, a deserted island?

I blink furiously as the blindfold is yanked off of my face. I look around confused to see nobody is near me, so how did they blindfold come off? Even weirder is that I appear to be in some library. There are hundreds maybe thousands of books lining the shelves in the confined area.

It was at that moment that I nearly passed out from a heart attack. There was some weird little horse thingy standing next to my backpack and gun while it was staring at my bike. To make things even weirder the horse... thingy was purple and had a horn or some shit on its head. It was really small compared to any horse I'd ever seen. What the fuck is this thing?

"Um, hey lady where did you go? What is this little horse creature and why is it purple?" I ask in a curious tone.

I nearly lose my shit when the pony thing turns around starts fucking talking!

"Um, who are you talking to? I'm the only one here." She asks with a confused look on her face. Now that I can see the front of her I can see even more oddities about her. Her eyes are very large compared to mine, and her hair or whatever its called is styled like a normal person's would be.

"..." I just stare, mouth agape. This can't be real, no way in hell. Walkers I can believe, but small talking purple unicorns? Fuck that!

"Can I ask... what are you?" She says giving me a worried look when I stare at her with an angry expression.

As my senses come back to me I realize I'm still tied down and Amber is still missing. I begin struggling against the restrains around my ankles but to no avail. I lean back and sigh. I look over at the pony and decide if I want answers I have to answer her questions first.

"Fuck... alright I'm a human. How do you not know what I am? I can tell you're obviously a horse... or something." I say while calming down from this surreal experience.

"Actually I'm a pony but, close enough I suppose!" She says with a smile when she sees I'm cooperating. Good, come over here and let me out of these so I can get the fuck out of here and find Amber. She inches closer until she finally unlocks the bindings from under the table.

I don't waste a second to jump off the table and tackle her, wrapping my arm around her neck to hold her down.

"I'll ask you again! Where on earth is Amber?" I say in a disturbingly calm tone. I can tell I caught this thing off guard, she's shaking nervously and Is struggling to get free. Luckily surviving the apocalypse makes you strong both mentally as well as physically.

"Wh-what's earth!?" She cries out sounding confused as hell. "What do you mean what's earth you fucked up science experiment?! You're on earth!" I' m starting to worry, why doesn't she know what her own planet is called?

"Th-this is Equestria!" She screams as she kicks me with her back legs. I tumble across the room from the surprisingly strong kick. I don't stand however, I just sit there taking in what I just heard. I'm... not on... no that isn't possible! I was just there and there's no kind of science to just teleport me to some fucked up alternate universe.

"Oh no... I'm so sorry! I didn't hurt you did I?" She asks worryingly as she rushes over to me while still keeping her distance. Why would she care if she hurt me? I just tackled her to the ground, she had every right to beat my ass.

"Tell me what you know..." I say while standing up. I want some answers and I want them now.

"So... This is some weird place called Equestria... You don't know who or where Amber is, and I'm stuck here?!" I yell after being told how exactly I got here. Apparently this thing is named Twilight Sparkle, as dumb as that sounds, and she can use magic with her little horn thingy on her head. As bullshit as it sounds she actually proved it by picking up a chair with levitation and throwing is across the room. As for the reason that I'm here... Apparently she was testing some new spell that would could teleport other people, or in this case ponies, and something went wrong with the spell and it seeped through to my universe and teleported me here along with anything I was touching at the time of teleportation. The worse thing is... The spell can only teleport one living organism at a time meaning... Amber was left alone in the store... and she was left for dead... The thought makes me break down in tears. I cry for what feels like hours while Twilight sits next to me trying to comfort me.

"It should have been her... It should have brought her here, not me!" I yell through the tears. I have no idea where "here" is but from what Twilight as told me, there aren't any walkers in the universe. Amber could have lived peacefully here, but no! She had to be left behind to suffer alone...

After crying for a while I just stand up and walk towards the staircase, no longer caring where I'm going. After losing both Sarah and Amber in a matter of minutes. I can barely even keep my mind from slipping into insanity.

"Where are you going?" Twilight says when she realizes I'm going upstairs. I ignore her and continue walking until I see what I guess is a bedroom. The two beds are fairly small for me so I just walk up to the one on the right and fall on it. The memories of the day rushing through my mind. I cry into the pillow until I finally pass out and drift into the world of sleep.
