Break in the Portal
Chapter 2: "This is not real"
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"It's okay director. I know this is purgatory. I know what it's about and that it can't be real. I know you just want to feed on my fear, that wouldn't be possible."
So Principal Celestia tried to keep Sunset silent. "This is a place for souls to rest, having the life they always wanted to have when they were alive. What could be wrong? Why are you so suspicious?"
"I'm not dead, how do I know? This is a portal tear and I know it, none of this is real!" Suddenly a student knocks on the door and comes in apologizing.
"Principal Celestia, a girl brought a dog to school, along with a rabbit, a mouse, a kitten and three birds." Said the student, bragging about having said such a mistake to the principal.
"Okay, let her. She needs to make the best of her 50s."
"Grr... okay." - He left.
"I'm sorry, but that happens sometimes."
Celestia said, sitting at her desk and typing something on the computer.
"Anything else, Sunset Shimmer?"
"No. How did you find out my name?"
"There are many things I know as an administrator in this sector."
"Ah, okay then. I'll go to class anyway."
"Wait, I forgot to tell you something. Take this jar of nettles with you. They hate nettles."
"They..." – Sunset took the bottle and moved on.
Pony World;
"Did you get anything?" – Rainbow Dash asked the princesses impatiently.
"I don't know." – Said Luna. – "It turns out that Sunset only entered the parallel world because her intention was evil. At least that would be my theory."
"When you combine the black aura with your feelings, you get the source for black magic."
"That's confusing..." – Pinkie said with dizzy eyes.
Sunset's Pov;
"Sunset, Sunset!" – Said Rainbow Dash approaching Sunset
"Hm?" – She looked back.
"Did you bring the jar of nettles?"
"Yes, it's here."
"The class is in a group today, do you want to stay with us?" – Rainbow extended her hand.
"Yes yes." – Sunset said somewhat discouraged as she didn’t want to stay in that place anymore. She had to get out of that hole.
"Awesome, let's go!" – Rainbow held Sunset's hand and went to the table and the girls continued doing their work as a team.
"Then just glue it on and... that's it!" – Said Twiligth, who was a girl with dark hair and pink highlights, with purple eyes and black, gray skin. She had no visible scars. All the girls finished their work happy, no one said anything about the buzzing that Sunset heard so much.
"Do you guys hear this?" – Sunset said, shivering.
"That what?" – Rainbow Dash looks at her ink-colored hands and wipes them on the paper as a way to clean her hands.
"This buzzing. It's already making me furious..." – Sunset covered her ears.
"Talk to Principal Celestia about it." – Said Rarity, a pale white girl with black hair and blue eyes.
"But you all have to talk to her, right?" – Sunset complained. – "I swear, if 30 weeks pass and I don't get out of here I'll go crazy."
"I didn't understand." – Said Twilight. – "You didn't like us?"
"Well, it's hard to like a bunch of pale, gray people who are physically cold."
"Ah. Alright then." – Twiligth said. – "You'd just be a visitor then, right?"
"Look, not necessarily." – Sunset replied. - "I came here by accident, okay?"
"Then be careful. There are people here who don't like the living very much." – Said Fluttershy. – "They like to be mysterious to feed on fear. But don't worry, if you're not afraid they can't do anything."
"What happened to me yesterday was weaker than the most generic horror movie in the world."
"What happened?" – Pinkie asked. She was the more interested in this, for sure.
"There's nothing that interests you."
"Ow..." – Pinkie lowered her eyes and shoulders.
"Ah know you came here by accident but that's no justification for treating people like that ." – AJ said, angrily.
"Ah, you're not the one who's going to stay here for three years away from home, are you?" – Sunset knocked on the table. – "Uhg, the only thing I wanted was to gain powers and get revenge from Celestia of my world!"
"The fact is that we have nothing to do with your anger, it's not good to show it like that!" – Said Aj
"Yeah, they might come visit you again tonight!" – Said Pinkie Pie.
"No, this time she has nettles." – Aj replied.
"You know, sometimes I'm afraid of what might happen to Sunset." – Said the shy Fluttershy, twirling her red hair.
Sunset didn't care at first. It was all so monotonous. How did they manage to stay in that place for years and years and more years?
"That will not remain like this! This isn't real, I'm going to get out of here when I can! Whatever the ponies think, I just want to go home now. "
These were the angry girl's thoughts. Her thoughts were stopped when she heard the girls talk about an orb with a source of magic.
"What did you say?" – Sunset asked more eagerly than ever.
"About how you could get out of here, it would be a bit dangerous but it's the easiest way to get out." – Twiligth said, writing something down in her notepad. – "We noticed you're upset, it's normal. Those who have a good life always want to go home."
"Pff, good life?! Girl, you don't even know why I'm here." – She crossed her arms – "Do you think that if I had a good life I would come to a TOTALLY DIFFERENT world just to get revenge for nothing?!"
"Forgive me, then." – Twiligth Sparkle replied, still with a smile on her face. Wow, that smile was so beautiful, so light... – "Well, my life wasn't like those things... But revenge will only bring you a feeling of momentary pleasure."
"B-but... I wanted to feel this pleasure at least once." – She sighed. – "I want to prove that I am capable of being brilliant, the best pony ever."
"Whatever fate has in store for you will be done. One day you will be as happy as a child at Christmas." – She smiled and looked into Sunset's eyes. At first the red-haired girl blushed, but soon recovered.
"It looks like you still have a lot to learn. Come on, it'll be cool! Go to school with us." – Rainbow said breaking the mood , clapping her arms on the girls' shoulders, while laughing. – "We can have fun and learn, what do you think?"
"Heh?" – Sunset giggled – "You know, in my world you are sooo different..."
"Am I an athlete in your world? Say yes!" – Rainbow Dash said, holding on to her excitement until Applejack grabbed her shoulder and she held back.
"I think so, but in my world you don't like me that much. Let's say I'm like a villain to them. Or at least that's always how I saw myself..." – Sunset was thoughtful for a moment before they responded to your statement.
"Aww... Don't be sad, I'll make you lots of goodies!" – Pinkie said, passing VERY FAST in front of Sunset. Pinkie Pie never sat still, she always seemed hyprrative.
"I'm not a big fan of candy."
"Ohh?!" – Pinkie sighed in surprise – "Don't ponies eat sweets? By the way, how do ponies walk? Do they jump? Oh! Do they walk upright or crouched? Do they have a lot of hair? Are they smaller than a dog?" – Pinkie Pie took another breath to catch her breath. Her friends looked at her in amazement, but nothing new. – "Do they like kittens? How many years do they live? What are they like when they are born? How do they drink water? How do they mate-"
"Alright, no more questions!" Sunset felt like she was on a news report; an interview, I don't know, maybe. She just stopped for a moment and laughed again.
"You know I could answer all these questions, don't you?" - Fluttershy said in the corner of the table, almost shrinking.
"No, silly! Sunset's world is full of magical ponies! Not normal ponies." – She He continued laughing and asking more questions.
"I would like to go there, I love all kinds of animals and insects... I want to discover them all!"
"You always have to say that to the newbies, huh?" – Applejack joked.
Then the girls went home again. Sunset wasn't as suspicious the night before, but she watched, followed the rules, and entered her room.
Sunset threw the nettles she got from Celestia under the door, as she had ordered earlier. Today she could sleep with the windows open, but she was a little suspicious about it. Suddenly, Sunset fell asleep. Your dreams were like a VHS tape. They showed some deaths of people in purgatory. She woke up in the middle of the night, horrified and rubbing her eyes. What had just happened? As she lay down again, she saw a large hairy creature with a bone mask. It was the skull of a goat. The creature was on top of his bed, he seemed to be tearing off pieces of his skin while showing him his exposed brain, as if they were a place of stored memory. Sunset couldn't react, it was too much. The pain of having his skin ripped off was great, it was burning. The location was her human belly button...it was an easy spot to get a little. The creature stopped ripping out and showing its brain, and stuck its tongue out at the girl. His tongue looked like a pinkish-red cave. With rotten, sharp, yellow teeth. There were also pieces of Sunset's skin, she didn't seem to mind that. What intrigued him was the strangely rough tongue running across his face. With each lick there was a different shiver. The tongue grazed her skin as she just wanted it all to end. She called out to Celestia, softly. (in fact, as if that would help anything). His flesh felt like it was burning... it's as if that tongue had some kind of acid on it. Soon, his vision gave a glitch similar to those in the games and only then did the creature disappear and his skin was back in place.
"God..." – She breathed heavily, looking at the door and what was left of the nettles. they were soaked in a liquid, it looked like a sponge... it seems that the nettle had sucked all the negative energy into itself. Poor plant, which sacrificed itself for living and lost souls.
"I really want to go home..."
