bioshocked. How can this be happening to me.
2What a TERRIBLE day
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI didn't know which was more painful, the motion sickness from being teleported, getting called names and given looks from people with wings, glowing hands, and normal looking people who must be really strong because one smashed a apple in his hand while we walked in Canterlot, or the fact that I was the cause for a major explosion in the middle of said town. Princess Celestial teleported only the two of us with 4 of her guards to block anyone from rushing up to her, while Princess Luna had to attend to important meetings with the mayor. Something tells me the mayor is going to have a massive grudge against me.
"This way Matthew, we don't have that much time I have to show you what happened" Princess Celestial motioned for me to walk with her around a building that looked as though it was for a newspaper company but now it looked like a half way burnt piece of charcoal.
Oh man I felt awful once I saw the crater, cause around the it there was a number of houses, people's homes, gone burnt to a crisp. I was so glad I didn't see a skeleton, then suddenly out of no where my head began to hurt massively, my vision began to blur, princess Celestia took notice of my strange behavior.
"Matthew, are you feeling all right"? She asked me.
To me she sounded likes she was talking through a fan, I took notice when I began to feel something warm dribble from my nose, I realized I was having a massive nosebleed. That's when the visions started, first I saw a flash of a man who looked liked me but had a scar running down his right eye, had blue hair, and was smiling friendly to someone with him, the vision blurred and it then showed his hands glowing and he had a panicked look on his face, next he was yelling for people to run. The vision then fast forward to him literally glowing a harsh red and exploding in red magic devastating houses and the building.
That was when I appeared, exactly right where the man was standing, burnt marks all over my body and people were staring. Somehow I knew the other me's name, it was George hitch. I was suddenly pulled from the murkiness to open my eyes with the princess standing over me with a glowing hand on my head looking down at me with concern, her guards were also staring at me with a questionable look on their faces.
"Are you alright, your nose began to bleed and you were behaving strangely before landing face first on the ground-"
I interrupted her with a angry look on my face.
"You lied to me about my memory Celestia"
She had a look of shock on her face as I slowly stood up. Before she could say anything I continued.
"That dream I had wasn't a life I wished I had, or what my soul wanted, or whatever"! I began to wipe the dust off of my still burnt clothes.
"Those were memories of the man, who looked liked me and who was also taken here to Equestria, a man named George Hitch, I have a lot of questions to ask you but can you only answer this". I pointed towards the middle of the crater.
"Why did he look EXACTLY like me"?!
The sun princess was obviously thinking of many answers due to her eyes darting around like crazy, so I added this last piece of pressure to make her tell the truth, and to be honest it shocked me also because I didn't sound like myself.
"And don't tell me another lie, pinkie promise".
This forced her eyes to focus on mine, she sighed.
"I will tell you the truth, but not here, as you can see we have caused a audience to surround us". She then motioned to the many magical people around us.
This took me by surprise because I didn't even notice, also by the fact that she didn't do the well known Pinkie promise that was invented by a certain hyperactive pink pony on a T.V show, I lowered my shoulders and nodded. I wasn't prepared for the sudden motion sickness effect so when we teleported to a room in the castle, I instantly ran to the nearest trash can and upchucked in it. When I was finished, I turned around and looked at the Princess dead in the eye. I knew she was older than I look and she lived for hundreds possibly thousands of years, so I knew I had no chance to imitate her.
She sat down, ignoring my stare, in a chair next to a table with two cups and a kettle settled on a tray. She motioned me to sit down. When I sat down I then took notice of the room, I would have described what was in it until she waved her hand over me and all my clothes were instantly repaired, I was about to stop glaring at her and say thanks but she started talking.
"Do you know of a women named Elizabeth"
This instantly confused me helping me stop the glare.
"Um, there are a lot of girls named Elizabeth that I know of, you should know that".
She simply shook her head and motioned to a picture on a dresser across from the room, where there, a small picture in a frame was standing for me to see. As I stood up and walked closer to it I couldn't help but widened my eyes in surprise. Because I realized which Elizabeth she was talking about, but it was hard to believe it, cause in the picture, it showed a certain girl with a blue dress, a necklace with a white bird on it, and she was missing her right pinkie.
I could only stand there, stare at the portrait with a confused look on my face and thinking so many things at once, because I only knew this character from a video game. I turned around to the sun princess with the picture in my hand.
"How-how is this even possible" I shook the picture in my hand motioning to it, " She's only from a VIDEO GAME"!
I guess the princess was expecting that because she simply smiled which her eyes closed. She looked back at me still with her eyes closed.
"And what, you can only assume that what you see on a screen can't actually be happening in another realm, or tear as she would call it" She opened her eyes and was giving me a look that actually began to frighten me just a bit.
"The memories you are currently having are not from what your soul wishes to remember nor from what your brain makes, that is true," She stood up and motioned me to follow her into another room, " The memories you are having are from the other Matthews, from different realities, and somehow you are receiving them for whenever they would..." She took a pause not opening the door and just looking down at me with a mournful look, making me realize what she was going to say.
I hesitated but... I continued that sentence, " D-die?"
She nodded and then opened the door to the other room, what I saw will haunt my dreams forever. What I saw was a long never ending hallway that held many doors on the side. Each door was suddenly slammed wide open and so much noise poured out from the hallway, I saw what was inside in most of them. One door showed me, yelling at my parents in a video chat with them while holding a gun to myself another showed me not doing that but smiling and happy. The other ten or twenty doors showed me in many different situations, I was murderer, I was a hero, I was a normal kid, I was girl, I was a loner, I was a tall cool kid guy, etc.
I had to look away and focus on my self because I actually began to feel myself, my mind and body and soul, being separated, or torn apart. The princess must have noticed how I was feeling because she closed her eyes and made her hands glow much more brighter than I'd ever seen and then, all was silent. I was breathing heavily, eyes tightly shut, head ringing, and holding my chest so tightly I tore my sweater slightly. I opened my eyes as I felt her hand touch my head, she eased the pain for me and took me outside of the hallway through the same way we came in.
She slowly sat me down in a chair to calm myself. When I finally calmed down I looked up at her.
"I felt them, all of them, there memories, there feelings, all of it" I wiped my nose,to see that it was bleeding again.
"I felt like I was slipping away, I was losing MY memories and began to absorb all the others, like I wasn't being the me me but becoming someone else, I don't know what that place was, but thank you for stopping it" I said while my eyes were watering.
Princess Celestia then pulled up another chair and sat right next to me, it was a while before she said anything.
"Elizabeth allowed me to have a certain area for tears to appear, it is because if other equestrians felt the energy from a tear, they wouldn't know what to do and would most likely get stuck to the other world that these things lead to", She turned her head and looked down at me,
"Somehow, like I said earlier, you are receiving the memories of the other yous from different realities, but as you see these memories you would slowly start to lose your own self, I would ask Elizabeth to come here to help fix this problem but she hasn't been anywhere in my reach lately".
A flash of light with a pop and suddenly, princess Luna was in the room with us. She looked obviously tired and a bit happy for some reason. When she saw me she looked concern.
"Sister, you told him the truth didn't you".
Princess Celestia nodded her head.
"Even the hall of tears"
Again she nodded.
Princess Luna groaned and face palmed herself, while I managed to stop shaking a few minutes ago and was just looking up at the ceiling, lost in a daydream of memories. I was snapped out of it as the night princess was snapping her fingers under my nose. I always hated it whenever someone does that to me but since she was one of my favorite characters, I let it slide.
The night princess then walked up to the small table that me and Princess Celesia were sitting next to, and then summoned a luggage bag on it. She began to unzip it and then showed me the contents that were in it. First was a small map of Equestria.
She was waving it in my face extremely fast while talking about it, " This is a map for your uses, I know that this may seem strange why we are doing this to you but you will understand, " She then opened the map "It is suited for only you, so if anyone steals it, it won't work"
Next was a pair of goggles which I actually found cool, "These are extremely useful in many cases, they will help you see in the dark, they help let you stare at the sun without going blind, help you see things that are really small or far away, and my last favorite," She strapped the goggles onto my eyes and tapped the right lens and everything in the room seemed to slow down except for the two princesses, who began to radiate themselves to move fast," Slow motion feature, it can only do this for 30 seconds per day so use it wisely"
Their was a pair of clothes that was made in a short amount of time for me that looked exactly like the clothes I was wearing now, " These may look like you're normal clothes but they are water proof, tear proof, and they can stay clean for up to 12 days " I simply looked at the gray vest replica, I suddenly began to try to tear it apart but it was to no avail, Celestia only giggled a bit.
lastly, was a train ticket, Both princesses looked at me and the sun princess spoke first.
"I know that in another realm we are only a form of entertainment while in a form of a pony, so I believe that you know where this ticket leads to"
Princess Luna then spoke up ," The reason why we are sending you there is that my sister's student, Twilight Sparkle, might be able to attend to your problems with her science, just don't do anything rash that may lead her to go, how do I say, crazy"
I couldn't help but smile like an idiot, I was going to be sent to a town were the famous mane six lived. Princess Luna put everything except the goggles that I had over my head back into the luggage bag and tossed me it. I caught it and swung the strap over my right shoulder and stood up, I felt a bit light headed but the sun princess helped me stand. I wasn't ready for the sudden teleportation because I ended up dry heaving at what I believed was the train station. I quickly put my goggles on and through my hood over my head and walked towards the train, I made sure to give the train conductor a friendly smile that might have weirded him out.
I soon found a seat in the back of the train and made myself comfy, I pulled out my mini-map and looked at the tiny spot called Pony Ville. I wondered why it was called that in a human version of Equestria but I didn't want to think hard about it, the map said that it would be about 50 miles from here and I looked at the clock on the wall and it showed the time. 10:42 P.M, I suddenly felt exhausted from today and closed my eyes, as I felt my body welcome sleep I could only give myself one question that ended up making me softly cry in my sleep.
Does anyone even know I'm gone from home?
