A tale of a lost soul

It was a dark night, it was raining, and a full moon stood brigthly on the sky, i found myself running trough the streets of a city, a city that was unknown to me, the streets were empty, there was no one on sight, lamp posts were the only thing that illuminated my way, but the rain was making it hard for me to even look the path ahead.

I was   scared, running, i couldn't figure out where i was or where i was going, i ran for a while trying to get away from the footsteps that were behind me, for what i could hear, there were more than three individuals after me, i could hear them getting closer and closer.

"If im going to get away from them i need a plan" i tought to myself, i had a few choices, i could try to outrun them, hide somewhere or try to do both, the last option seemed like the best.

I ran as fast as i could trying to leave them behind, i saw a building, it had a statue in front of it, it was a well made statue of a horse, standing at the top of a square shaped structure, it seemed like a good place to hide, the footsteps were barely hearable so i ran to it, while getting to the side that was in front of the building i stumbled across something, i lost my balance and fell, hitting my head with the ground.

"Are you sure that you can do it, im afraid that something could happen to you, maybe i should gather a group to aid you on your trip."

"Your highness, please, don't worry about this task, i've been trough worse, i will return in a couple of days, maybe a week if things turn for the worse, but rest assured that i will return."

"Just, please be careful."

I woke up yawning in an unknown place, i could hear the sound of an alarm, a loud ring that probably was what woke me up, my head was hurting, i tapped on the right side of my forehead and felt a cloth or something alike along with a slight pain, i looked at my surroundings to see if i could figure out where i was.

I was laying on a bed, there was a window and i could see the sunlight, there were some shelves with some small containers, medicine maybe?, there was a mirror on the wall, there was a desk with some papers, a stethoscope, paper towels and a bandage on it.

I tried to remember what happened last night "For what i can remember i was running, i cant remember why, it was raining and-"

The sound the door opening scared me a little, entering the room was a woman, she had white skin, pink hair wrapped up in a bun, blue eyes and was wearing a white coat with an emblem of a red cross and a hat that had the same emblem, she was surprised to see that i was awake.

"Hello young man, im glad that you're up, my name is Redheart, you really surprised us when we found you outside this morning, are you feeling well?" she said with a concerned look on her face.

I was about to give her a reply when i realized i couldn't speak, i tried but the words refused to come out of my mouth, i started to get worried.

"Why cant i talk? was i mute or something? maybe it had something to do with what happened last night, or maybe it was the bump in my head?"

After taking a deep breath i tried to comunicate with signs trying to let her know that i needed something to write, she walked to the desk, opened a drawer, picking up a pen and a paper and handing them to me, i started to write.

"Nice to meet you miss Redheart, yes im feeling well, but im afraid that i cannot speak."

"Why?, is your troath sore or something?"

I wrote "no, i just can't speak."

"What is your name young man?"

I stared at the piece of paper in my hand for a while thinking, trying to remember, then i wrote.

"I can't remember my name."

She was surprised, after a few seconds she asked "and where do you live? do you have any relatives or someone that we comunicate with?"

Again i could not think of the answer to that question, staring at the paper my hands i was starting to get worried, "why can't i remember a thing about me,?" i simply wrote.

"I don't know."

"And what about yesterday, do you remember anything about it? were you fighthing with someone,? she said while looking at my forehead.

Finally something i could remember i started writing.

"Yes, i remember that i was running, there were some strangers following me, after a while i managed to outrun them and was about to hide when i fell bumping my head in the process and i guess i passed out after that, then i woke up in here, where am i exactly?"

After reading she said "you are in Canterlot High School" she took a small break ans added "do you remember what was inside the bag you were carrying with you?"

Bag? what bag? i thought to myself and wrote in the paper "i dont think i had a bag with me last night, are you certain that is mine?"

"Well we found it next to you and we found inside it a book, it has a lock and has a black cover, also there is a necklace, two keys and a knife, we are concerned as for what you had it for."

I oppened my eyes widely in surprise, i quickly wrote.

"No, i was not aware that i had that bag with me last night, as for what's inside, i guess if it was with me when you found me then. I assume that it should be mine."

"Do you think that you can stand up?" she asked.

I stood up, standing next to the bed, she started to check me, to see if everything was in order, after a few minutes she finished and asked me to follow her, before exiting the room, i picked the pen and paper and had a chance to look myself in the mirror.

I looked at my reflection, i had a bandage wrapped around my forehead, with a small blood stain on the right side, my hair was long, almost reaching my shoulders, it was pale silver and looked kinda messy, light grey skin, dark-blue eyes, i looked at myself and i was wearing a white shirt, black pants along with a pair of black boots.

"So that's me."

After staring at the mirror for a while the nurse came back, asking if i was ok, to which i nodded and wrote "where are we going?"

She replied "we're going to the principal's office."

After exiting the nurse's office i was upon an empty hallway, there were lockers on the walls, as i was walking i noticed some stairs to the second floor, a door that was labeled "English" and another one labeled "History," i managed to see some people inside, after a while we finally got to the principal's office, nurse Redheart went inside and i after her.

It was a big room, i saw some shelves, windows and a desk, the desk had a few papers on it, some pens, a speaker and what caught my eye was a bag, probably the bag the nurse was talking about, with two chairs, a small chair in front of the desk and a big one behind it, a woman sitting on said chair.

She had light pink skin, purple eyes, she had a long hair with several colors, two tones of blue, one light and the other dark, also green and pink as well, she was wearing a yellow jacket with a brooch that looked like a sun, wearing a purple and white shirt inside her jacket.

"This is him principal" the nurse said.

She took a look at me while saying "hello young man please take a seat, my name is Celestia, i'm the principal of Canterlot High."

I did as i was told and sat on the chair in front, the nurse told her.

"Aside from the wound on his forehead, the fact that he seems to have trouble remembering who he is, and also he can't speak, he is physically fine, i'll be in the infirmary if you need me" nurse Redheart said before leaving.

And so she left, now i was alone with the principal, after a few seconds she asked.

"Good morning young man, it was quite a surprise to find you unconcious outside this morning, are you feeling well,? what can you tell me about yourself?"

I started to write in the piece of paper, marking above each of the answers that i gave to the nurse with the questions that she asked me, then i turned the paper, one side was already filled with words, after i was done i handed her the paper and she started to read.

"It's a pleasure to meet you principal Celestia, yes feel fine, as the nurse told you, i cant remember my name and also. I can't speak, i have wrote the questions that nurse Redheart asked me in case you wanted to read them, she also told me that you found a bag with me this morning and i assume is the one on your desk, may i take a look at it?"

After reading this she handed me the bag, but not before removing the knife that was inside, she then turned the paper and started to read.

Inside the bag were the items the nurse mentioned, the book, the keys and the necklace, it was a black, circle shaped medallion with a gray gem encrusted on the middle, staring at the necklace i felt weird, almost like i recognized it, but how? how could recognize something that i'm sure i never saw before and could have sworn that wasn't mine, i suddenly felt peace, calm, as if the world around me dissapeared, i closed my eyes for a while, trying my best to remember but to no avail, i put the items back on the bag and put it next to my chair, the principal was still reading, after she finished she said.

"Well it seems like you are experiencing some sort of amnesia, for security reasons, i will be keeping this knife" she said as she put the knife inside a drawer in her desk, locking it up with a lock, putting the paper sheet on her desk.

"I will go for my sister to see what can we do about this situation, please stay here for a while, ok?" she said with a friendly smile while walking to the door, i smiled a little and nodded, a few seconds after she left i looked at the bag, if this is indeed mine then there must be some sort of clue or anything that could help me.

Walking trough the hallways. Celestia made her way to her sisters office, after opening the door she said "Luna, come with me."

The vice principal Luna replied "what is it sister? is there something wrong?"

Celestia replied "its about the young man that we found outside this morning."

"Oh, lets go then," she replied as she started to follow her sister to her office.

On their way back to her office, Celestia gave Luna all the information that she had about the young man.

After she left to look for someone. I took this chance to look at the bag, taking the book and one of the keys from it, i tried to unlock it but it was the wrong key, after doing the same with the other key, it was unlocked.

It was a well kept book, almost as if it was new, completely black, wihout a title or an author's name, i was eager to know its contents, maybe it had some information about me, going trough all the pages, twice, i was surprised, nothing, not even a single word, i sighed, locked it and put it back in the bag with the key.

"Why would soneone lock a book without any words on it?"

I started to get curious about the knife, would i react to it the same way it hapenned with the necklace,? maybe make me remember something?

I guess im going to have to wait a while to know, after a few minutes the sound of the door made me turn my head, entering the room was Principal Celestia and behind her there was another woman.

She was shorter than Celestia, she had blue skin, light blue eyes, her hair was blue with two different tones, one dark and the other lighter, she was wearing a purple shirt with a white collar, the collar had a crescent moon shaped brooch on it, dark blue pants and white high heel shoes.

Celestia sat on her chair and she was standing next to her, arms crossed.

"Hello young man, my name is Luna, im Celestia's younger sister and i'm the vice principal of Canterlot High."

I picked the piece of paper that was on Celestia's desk and wrote.

"It's nice to meet you, miss Luna."

After a moment, Celestia picked up the speaker that was on her desk, pressed the button and said through the device "Sunset Shimmer, please come to the principal's office."

Meanwhile i was still on the chair, still worried about my actual situation, resting my face on my hands and letting out a big sigh, Vice Principal Luna walked and was standing in front of me, she put a hand on my shoulder, her hand was conforting, looking up to her eyes she told me with a smile.

"Hey dont worry, we will do our best to find out who you really are, just give us a little time, i promise you everything is going to be fine."

I smiled and nodded at her, after that she went to the window and stared at the outside.

A few minutes later there was someone knocking at the door, the person knocked three times before saying.

"Principal Celestia it's me, Sunset."

Celestia told the person outside to come in.

She was a girl, she had light amber skin, cyan eyes, her hair was long, crimson red with yellow stripes, she was wearina black jacket above a purple shirt, an orange skirt with a yellow and a purple stripe.

"Good morning principals" She said while walking in, then looking at me and asking "who is him?"

Celestia answered "well, it's a complicated situation, you see, we found him this morning when we arrived to school, he was bleeding and had a wound on his forehead so i called the nurse to come as quickly as possible, he seems to have amnessia, so while my sister and i try to look for information about him."

She stops and looks at me "it's going to take a while, would you like to spend the day here at school?"

I wrote "yes"

She smiled "then its settled, Sunset, could you please take care of him for the day while we look for information about him?"

Sunset nodded and replied "sure thing, it'll be a pleasure, but, what should i call him? and what if someone asks about where is he from?"

Celestia answered "how about Silver? would you like to be called like that?"

I wrote "yes."

Sunset said "ok, Silver, come with me" she said while walking outside the office.

"Wait, i almost forgot" Celestia said while taking out a coat and a camera from one of the drawers of her desk "you were wearing this then we found you, here take it."

I picked the coat and put it on it was a long dark-red coat, almost reaching to my knees, it had some pockets that i instantly checked but were empty, i picked up the bag with my few belongings and was about to exit the office when i took the pen and paper, the paper was almost filled with words, i found a space in blank and wrote to the principal.

"Please keep the knife safe, i feel like its important to me but i dont know why, and thank you for what you're doing for me."

She replied "you're welcome and don't worry, i will keep it safe, let me take a picture to see if it helps in finding who you are" and so she took the picture.

While looking at the paper she opened another drawer and picked up a notebook adding while handing it to me "here, use this in case you need to comunicate with the other students."

I opened the notebook and wrote "thank you, see you later then" i smiled at them and waved while i was closing the door, i felt a little happier, somehow i knew they really meant what they said and would really try their best to help me, but what if.
