Am I Still Asleep?

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

I woke up realizing I had to use the bathroom badly. I usually don’t wake up this early, the day doesn’t matter as well, it being Friday n’ all. I take a peek at my phone.. 3 am. Damn. I fully get off the bed and walk to my bedroom door, opening quietly and heading to the bathroom which was thankfully right outside my room. Just when I was about to close the door of the bathroom, I hear a giggle.

I freeze. “The fuck?” I mutter to myself. I stand there for a couple seconds, then I shrug and continue to close the door. A minute passes and I clean up before returning to my bed. I rub my eyes, thinking if I’ll go to bed fast enough unlike the other nights. I freeze again before climbing into bed.

There it is again. Laughter? Sounds like children. I then see under the door of the laundry room, which of course right in front of my door, pink or magenta light emitting from underneath it. Everyone is asleep, of course. I have a feeling that my brother bought something and left it in the room. He hasn’t left the house since he works at home so.. and I don’t remember him leaving to go somewhere else.. but he’d never tell me. My fingers swooped my bedroom door as I left it behind, slowly walking up to the door.

I stop right in front of the laundry room, and placed my hand gently on the knob. I take a breath and open the door.

My eyes widened as I look on the ground where a magenta pentagram lay on the ground. My hair swished around so I reached up and pulled back my bangs, some hair coming free and flying around again. The wind smelled like I was outside, fresh, clean, free. It felt, tempting to walk towards it. Thankfully the dog was still downstairs with the gate on the bottom stair.

It seem to be getting bigger each time I went towards it. I tried to get a good look at the symbols but couldn’t make out any. None of them looked familiar. I felt half of my foot go into the pentagram, feeling this taking a step back, but it got bigger and started dragging my foot in. I frantically looked for something to hold on to, only to find myself on the ground, half my body in the damn thing.

”Fuck fuck fuck!! AHHH-“
It drags me in, the portal closing, becoming silent in the room.

I feel myself falling, shooting my eyes open. Am I outside?! Thinking this, I look down, instantly seeing apple trees. I’ve never fell this far before, even though I’ve always wanted to skydive. I start screaming, seeing the trees come close.
And then it went dark.

What felt like an eternity, I open my eyes. Everything is dark. Did I become blind? I can’t hear or feel anything though. Wait. Did I die? I remember falling from the sky..- I look down and see my body. Feels like I’m floating in space.

All off a sudden a bright light appeared in front of me. I couldn’t make out what the creature was or is. I shield my eyes from the light, but then the light eventually subsided and turned into some sort of a creature.

”Who-who’s there? Who are you?”

The creatures outlines turned into a horse shape. What looks like long hair and a tail swished out from its body and stretched out like it’s wings were doing. The wings were huge, and the horn it looked to have the same width as it’s own body.

”Calm down, my child. You are not in any danger.”

”This would suck if this was what heaven was.” I muttered to myself.

”You are not in heaven. Nor Hell. I am an entity of light that travels into your mind. Think of me as your personal Angel. You are unconscious of right now, and will wake up shortly.”

I felt my mind overthinking. Starting to hear static sounds surrounding me. I feel dead. I might never see my friends and family again. I know I fell through that pentagram and it felt so real. I won’t be able to live life anymore, and my dreams are gone. I’m gone. I don’t exist anymore anywhere. How could my life end here- The entity bowed its head and started to glow brighter, flapping its wings once. When that happened, my thoughts disappeared, and I felt, calm.

”Silence your thoughts, young one. You will be fine. Your world that you were in before has stopped for now, mostly because this world that your currently reside in is way different from yours. I may not know much about your world, but I was that sliver of hope that you carried all the way from birth, and was buried with all your regressions and depression. What those foul beings did to you when you were little was not right, and crushed all your hope with everything else, only leaving sorrow and misery.”

Hearing all that hurt. It was true. ”I just want to be happy that’s all. Help people I guess?” I wipe a tear from my eye.

I felt the creature smile. ”Those are defiantly needed in this world. Speaking of, you will wake up soon. So it is my time to go. I’ll still be with you of course. Just in your mind.” The enitity started to fly upwards.

”Wait! Will I ever see or talk to you again?!” I called out. ”You will, in the time of need. You’ll be fine.”

I saw them fly upwards again.. no.. I’m falling? I feel myself fall faster. I don’t like this feeling of falling in the middle of nowhere. Basically being in the void. I start to cry out, afraid of what was going to happen. The creature above me was just a dot, then nothing. I kept screaming and closed my eyes, feeling myself get dizzy. Then passed out.


Author's Note

Please be kind with your words if you ever comment. I know this is in public, I understand.

This story is just me becoming a pony. That is all. Nothing to complicated.

Even though it is me, I have changed a lot of backstories and other things so it’s not entirely me, because most things the main character will do in here I’d never do. Mostly it’s just a different version of me, and of course with weaknesses I do have. But I’m just guessing on how I’d react to certain situations, and no hate towards any characters in here as well.

Also, please be aware of your words. I haven’t written a story in ages so of course I’m at a low level in writing stories.

Thanks.
