Random Life (Book Thing 1)

Chapter 3:

Learning

I woke up in the middle of the night, probably around two in the morning, due to a nightmare about my family. More specifically my mother and father. As weird as it was it made me want to sing. And thus I began to sing Dead Bodies Everywhere:

I ended the song, as tears started to form, though I wiped them away quickly. That song always brings up bad memories, but I loved it none the less, it’s probably best to not think about it. “Well if you knew it was going to bring up some unpleasant memories, then why the fuck did ya sing it? Dumbass.” Jon said, though I just ignored him. “I wonder if Luna’s still awake, I wouldn’t mind talking to her right know.” I said to myself.

“I am right here, I heard the whole thing. Are you ok?” Luna asked from my door, scaring the shit out of me.

“Ahh!” I yelped. “you scared the sh…shiza out of me, and to answer you question, yes, I am ok. I was just singing an old song from home, it tends to stir up some unpleasant memories from my childhood.” I stated honestly, ”Ya right, ok my non existent ass.” Jon spoke. Ok for the most part I was ok.

After a small silence Luna spoke up, “Would you like to talk about it? It might help you relieve the pain.” I couldn’t help but feel that this was not going to end well, for ether of us. “And here we go again, wake me up when its over.” Jon stated before going silent. He really irritates me some times.

“Sure, but be ready for a sob story. *sigh* ok lest start with what went wrong in my life cause the number of bad things easily triple the good. Anyway it all started when I was two, my dad was sent to prison for twelve years for the accidental murder of my two year old sister. After that my mom had my brother, Noah, and had to keep switching schools and homes until we could find a suitable place to live that we could afford. After twelve years had passed my dad was released, and I was happy to finally see him. As wired as that sounds, I still loved him. My mom on the other hand was spiteful and often took her anger out on me. But all things that are good must come to an end, and my father was drunk and tried to rob a store. He was sentenced to two more years in prison, and in those two years my aunt died, my great grandfather died, as well as my dog. When my dad finally got out of prison again he stayed with us for a while until I had to put him in jail myself. I had to grow up fast, I didn’t get that much of a childhood, and I paid the price of my innocence. The only feelings that I had left were hate and despair. The only things that I cared for were my friends, up until now. And even then I felt as though I was useless, a worthless waste of space that couldn’t protect those I loved. That I would always fail, I always fail.” I finished, a solemn look haunting my face as I remembered everything in my old life. “Why couldn’t mom just accept me?” I thought to myself.

Luna hadn’t fared any better, she was silently crying and looking at me with sorrow filled eyes. “I am sorry that you had to live through that, I wish I could do something, I cared for you, so much that you wouldn’t understand, Corbin.” She said, now sobbing into my chest. I put an arm around her and pulled her into a hug. I took a moment to admire how soft her fur was, “This bitch is like a pillow, damn!” I ignored him and leaned down.

“Thank you.” I whispered. She looked up to me and I was instantly mesmerized by her eyes. All I could think about were her lips and, No! bad brain, stop it! Sometimes I hate my mind, and it’s not even Jon! Now I’m talking to myself, Great. But before I knew it her lips pressed to mine, the kiss made me actually feel loved and cared for.

When we parted Luna just looked at me with a blush as red as fire. “let that be my apology for making you bring up old wounds, and….maybe for something more in the future.” And with that she got up and walked towards my door, but just before she left she turned,

“Thank you, and we will see you in the morning.” And with that she left. Leaving me with just my thoughts, “Told you she wanted it.”Jon said.

“Shut up.” Is all I thought before falling asleep to peaceful dreams.

I woke up in my bed feeling great, when I went to get out of bed I tripped over the air. “Fail”, “shut up Jon” I muttered while picking myself up from the ground. I walked around my suite until I found the kitchen, and to my surprise they had eggs. While I’m cooking I started to sing Peaches by The Presidents of The United States of America.

Though I stopped singing cause I felt a little heavier and weird, I looked down and I was shocked to see I was wearing full knight armor and had a mace and sword strapped to my waist. But the colors confused me, the armor was pink with a black trim, the weapons were the opposite having a main black body with pink trimmings. “Da fuck is with the pink?” is all Jon had to say to that.

“Ahem” I hear behind me, and turn around to find non-other than Luna standing in the entrance way of the kitchen. “Ahh” I yelped, and the armor and weapons disappeared right off my body.  “Why didn’t you tell me you have magic?” Luna asked. I was still in scared and confused mode, though I managed to speak.

“

I have no idea what just happened, one second I’m cooking and the next I find myself in full armor with weapons! Why dose weird sh..crap always happen to me?” I asked myself, still very confused.

“I don’t know why you have magic, but it seemed to be activated when you started to sing. Though I don’t know why, but your magic felt as strong as my sisters.”

“I…..uh..da…wh…What!? So you’re telling me that I have magic that’s as strong as your sisters?” I asked, I was still wondering why I have magic in the first place. But the only response that I got was a small nod from Luna as she walked over to me, though now I was sitting on the bench next to the kitchen table. She sat down, gave me a small hug, and leaned against me. “Still soft as ever” I thought to myself as I wrapped my arm around her. That is until a bright flash of light blinded me, when my vision returned I see non-other than Celestia standing in front of me. She was eyeing me, like looking into my soul eyeing. Then I noticed that Luna was still leaning against me with my arm still wrapped around her. “Bitch you better get your ass moving if you don’t wanna be fried!” Jon warned me. Me and Luna both scrambled to our feet, or hooves, and stood there awkwardly. But for me, I stood with pure fear of what Celestia would do to me since I was so close to Luna. That got Jon to talk for a moment “She doesn’t know about last night dose she? SHIT! If she finds out you gonna get fried like chicken!” Jon states in a worried ton. As I’m internally panicking I manage to speak. “Hello..heh…what brings you by?” I asked timidly.

Celestia just stood there eyeing me for a moments and spoke, never taking her eyes off me,” Well I came in a hurry when I felt an extremely large energy surge coming from here, do you know what it was?” she asked, and edge to her voice. Though albeit timidly I confessed, not wanting to piss of the Princess, given that she could probably put me in prison just for touching her sister.

“It was me, I don’t know how or why, but it was me.” I say, extremely scared now.

“Sister is he telling the truth?” Celestia asked in a commanding tone.”Y-yes sister, he is telling the truth. But he didn’t know he had magic, I walked in on him singing and he was wearing full pink armor with a black mace and sword, but when he stopped singing they vanished” Luna answered quickly.

“Well then, I would like you to travel down to Ponyville and talk with my prized student, Twilight, to find out how you have magic. Seeing that you never had it before.” Celestia then, with another flash of cornea burning white light, vanished.

“Well, that could have gone better” I say as I stand up, only to be tackled back down into a hug by Luna.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for not saying anything to my sister!” she said while still hugging me. “You do know what could happen if she found out right?” she asked, I shook my head saying no, “If she found out you could have been spaded for touching royalty, anything farther than that would have you executed” she tells me in a very concerned voice, while I just gave a slight shutter. Great. Not only have I basically made enemies with Celestia, I could be spaded or executed for loving Luna.*sigh*, How the fuck do I find myself in these situations? I thought to myself. “Because life said Fuck You, that’s why.”
