Equestria Missing 2: Insanity's Nightmare

*Psst* If you haven't already. I highly recommend reading the last one first. It'll make things make more sense: Equestria Missing

When we got back, we had lunch. It was simple; Apples, Hay, Daisy Sandwich. I ate it all, and with a sudden sense of tiredness, I went up to our bedroom. and went to sleep.

I Had a very vivid dream. you know when sometimes you have those dreams and they feel so real, you're afraid you won't wake up. that's what this felt like, I couldn't make sense of any of it, it was... Strange and at the same time realistic, the strange thing was... I Couldn't wake up.

"He-Hello?" I Called out, into the abyss. "Anyone?" from my perspective, it appeared I was on a cliff edge. Looking over the edge, I saw that I was on a floating platform, looking down I saw something like a void, with some more floating platforms.

I turned around to see a reflection of myself, nothing seemed wrong. I touched the mirror that was showing my reflection, it wasn't solid but it definitely felt like I could kill myself by going into it, but I had nowhere else to go. "Here goes nothing" Slowly, I Pushed myself through the thick Liquid-like substance.

I woke up in Fluttershy's cottage. "Well, this seems fine" I got up and stretched my arms out, I put my feet on the floor, I placed my hands on my face and rubbed my eyes. Wait...

I stood up abruptly and ran for the stairs, running on two legs felt weird, but familiar at the same time, Fluttershy was having her breakfast... As a human. I ran up to her and quickly spoke.

"QUICK! Slap me in the face!" she looked at me strangely, as if I just saw a ghost. "Now why do you want me to do that?" she replied in a confused voice. I turned around and put my hands in my face "It must be Thursday. I always hated Thursday's" I said to myself in a worried voice.

I turned back around and Fluttershy put her hand on my forehead. "What are you doing?" I asked, she responded shortly after. "Well you don't have a fever that's for sure" Confused, I stepped back a few steps

and ran for the mirror.

Fluttershy followed and kept questioning me "Are you okay? What's wrong?" I starred at myself in the mirror I was Tall and thin. My Mane... Hair, was the same colour as my pony self. Red, Blue and Dark Grey. I still had wings, so did Fluttershy, she had to be maybe an inch smaller than me. I started freaking out, I wasn't used to this.

"Um. are you okay sweetie?" She asked cautiously. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" When I asked the question, she jumped back in surprise, Quickly, I realized what I had done and started apologizing "I'm sorry, why did I do that? I'm sorry" Suddenly my vision started fading, I Stumbled a little and I fell into the mirror, Which comforted me as well as making me disturbed at the same time.

I fell back out of the mirror in which I entered the human universe, I was back in the void. I stood up and was back on all-fours again, when I touched the mirror, I Heard a voice saying; "Ready to go again?" And was all of a sudden sucked back into the mirror.

I Woke up in the bed again, but this time I woke up violently, Causing me to fall onto the floor, I got up on my feet and ran to the mirror again. My eyes, they were Black again. Not bleeding, Just plain black.

"Fl-Fluttershy?" I Turned around and ran down the stairs. She was eating her breakfast again. I ran up and hugged her, I was scared.

"Woah! Wh-Whats wrong?" She asked quickly, I Responded, almost crying "Whats happening? Tell me!" After a while she responded, only it didn't sound like her, She said; "This isn't reality" I Stood up, and saw that instead of Fluttershy there was a Mannequin in the clothes Fluttershy was wearing. I turned around and saw another mannequin. The voice kept repeating the phrase: "This isn't reality", It was driving me to paranoia.

I felt a trickle down my right eye, and wiped it and looked at my hand... "Blood... Typical" I walked to the mirror, and tried to go into it. It was solid.

"Are you kidding me?" I grumbled to myself. Getting pissed, I threw the nearest object I could find at the thing that would've lead me back to my world. The voice was getting louder, I Decided to go to Twilight's house and see if I could find an answer to all of this.

I found myself running toward her library, quickly without knocking I entered her house and called out.

"TWILIGHT!" I heard her foot-steps coming down the stairs, Spike then slowly followed.

"Flare. What the hell? you just woke me up from my nap"

"Spike! Language!" Twilight Said Almost Interrupting him "What is it Flare? Are you okay?" Twilight asked frantically, for some reason she didn't acknowledge my bleeding eyes.

"I went to bed last night as a pony but then I woke up in a void of some sort then I fell into a mirror and now I am a human. Please help" I stopped to catch my breath after that quick speech.

she starred at me for a couple of seconds, and then dragged me inside. "H-hey! Not so hard" She Plopped me on the couch and started questioning me. "Do you Have any symptoms? What colour is your hair? What's your wife's name?" I asked her to slow down, as I couldn't answer that quickly.

"Okay, I'll go slower... Do you have any symptoms?" She asked slowly, I responded with almost a yell. "I don't know. Maybe the bleeding black voids in my FACE!" She looked at me with a confused face. "What bleeding black voids?" I sat in shock.

She just saw me as a normal human being? I stood up quickly and said "Slap me in the face." She looked at me with a sheepish look "Now why do you want me to do that?" she asked, I repeated again in a stern voice.

"Just slap me in the face ple-" I was cut off when Twilight quickly slapped me in the face. "Ow... Thanks" There was an awkward silence, we just stood there, and then Spike broke the silence. "Hey Flare. I'm gonna make a sandwich. Want one?" I shook my head and started heading for the door.

"F-Flare, I'm Sorry!" Twilight Apologised, But I kept my cool "It's fine... I guess I'll just have to figure this out myself" I was about to leave when Twilight stopped me.

"Hold on, did you say you went to sleep as a pony last night?" I nodded and asked why she wanted to know that. Out of nowhere I saw her reaching for a book in her library.

"Got it! Here you go" She handed me a book with the title 'Dreams and Nightmares' On the Front cover. "Uh... Thanks" I grabbed the booked and started flicking through it.

"Hopefully it helps. I swear I've had the same thing once before" Said Twilight with a smirk on her face, I think she was being sarcastic. After a bit of flicking through, I couldn't find anything on a pony turning into a human, I felt tired and weak. One last time I heard the voice say really loudly;

"THIS ISN'T REALITY!" And I fell to the ground.

When I came to, I was myself again... A pony. "Urgh. Thank god" I stood up and saw that instead of  the Void I was in last time, I was in a room, it wasn't so dark that I couldn't see, But it was pretty dark.

I felt around for a wall and eventually found one, I followed along the wall until I found a door, without thinking I quickly opened it and went through, I suddenly found myself falling, I tried my wings but when I looked at them, they were broken off, kind of like when you try to saw through a thin piece of wood and then end up snapping it halfway through. So I couldn't fly to protect myself from the fall.

After falling for about thirty seconds I saw something black, which I suspected was the ground. I Braced myself for impact but then I landed with a fluff on a cloud, the cloud was the black thing I saw.

Still shaking, I looked around for an exit or an opening of some kind. After scanning the room for a bit I found a door, it looked similar to Twilight's front door, I went through it hoping for the best, and saw that I was standing in my old house in Cloudsdale.

I say its my old house because I mostly live with Fluttershy now, I still owned it but I have been thinking on selling it, I walked around the bedroom I was standing in, after some scanning I found the cradle from when I was a little foal.

I was in my foster parents home, they handed it down to me when I was old enough to take care of myself. All this stuff from my childhood made me want to cry, I missed them too much.

Both my real parents and my foster parents, they were really nice, I went to my foster parents room, I looked at the bed and they were there. "Flare? Are you okay?" My mother asked, as if I was about a year old again. With a little pause, I started crying and ran to hug her, "Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong?" She asked as she rubbed my back to console me.

I replied shortly after. "I-I don't want this to happen anymore" My voice sounded different... Younger.

"Come on Flare, it's okay, lets get you back to bed" Suddenly I felt myself being lifted up. I barely took notice at first, I was too depressed. Eventually I found myself being laid down.

"There you go" She handed me the doll I had owned when I was a year old, it was a brown bear with a missing eye. I named it Ted, I know it's stereotypical but I was a year old so don't blame me. My mum started to softly sing 'Hush now Quiet now' and my eyes started to close slowly until I fell asleep.

I woke up on the floor of my house, right where my mother put me to bed the night before. I sat up and looked around, I was in my bedroom from when I was six, then my mum came in.

"Why are you on the floor Flare?" She giggled as I slowly stood up. "Anyway, come on it's time for school" she said in a happy voice. "Mum. I..." I stopped after hearing my voice. Again, it was younger than my normal voice.

"Yes?" She replied in a questioning voice. "I... Um.." I was trying to come up with an excuse as to why I shouldn't go to school. "I'm sick" I Imitated a few coughs, and she came over to me and put her hoof on my forehead. "You don't feel that sick to me" she said with that 'are you kidding?' voice. "Come on you have to go to school" Before I knew it I was headed out the door.

When I arrived at school, I had a sudden burst of nostalgia, I remembered the playground I broke my front-left hoof on, the lunch area where I gave Fluttershy a card for hearts and hooves day... Everyone mocked me for it, they said that I would never get a mare like Fluttershy, I'd like to rub it in their faces at my wedding.

I snickered and headed toward the playground, until I was stopped by Fluttershy, we bumped into each other. "Oh. My goodness, Are you okay?" she asked in an apologetic voice, I stood in awe I remembered this too, we both had lunch together. I had Tomato Soup with cheese, and Fluttershy had a Garden salad. I remember the date too, it was the tenth of July 1997.

"Flare? A-Are you all right?" She asked, I had spaced out for the past couple of seconds reminding myself of the past. "Oh? Yeah I'm good" I smiled and continued walking. "B-But Flare! Class is this way" I didn't hear her, she was quieter when she was young.

I kept walking confused as to where I was at, That's when one of the bullies at my school stopped me. "Where you going kid?" He asked with that look that bullies give you.

"What's it to you?" I replied in a slightly worried voice, his name was Thunder Bolt, he was the 'main bully' at school, "What's it to me? What about the fact that you're a useless piece of shit that doesn't know where he is going." He said back to me acting all tough. Quickly, Without thinking I replied.

"YOU'RE A USELESS PIECE OF SHIT!" After finishing my sentence I quickly realised what I did, and took a few steps back.

"What did you say?" He asked in an angry voice, he stepped toward me and I stepped back in fear. "Nobody Calls me useless" When he finished talking, he hit me in the face. I yelled in pain just as he kicked me to the ground, seemingly out of nowhere he pulled a knife from his bag and put a long deep cut on my leg, I screamed as he was slowly pulling the knife through my muscle toward himself.

Suddenly I heard someone in the distance, It was a teacher "THUNDER! Stop that!" He quickly realised what was happening and hid the knife in his bag. The teacher was heading over toward us, I quickly got up and fled. "W-Wait! Flare!" The teacher called out to me. I ignored her and kept limping I just wanted to get away from the kid.

Losing blood quickly, I eventually felt light-headed, I got to the classroom door, I tried to knock but I was too weak. "H-Help m-me" I peeped out slowly, and then I blacked out.
