And I thought we were normal. How wrong I was.
The Night My World Ended,I Felt A Scream In My Soul. 1
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"...and we're done." I say allowing a sigh.
"We better be I'm tired as hell. Remind me why we were idiots and waited on this again?" The voice of Uefi came again though my headset.
"We waited because neither of us ever do our work ahead of time and make the last 2 or 3 days hell for ourselves because we both have agreed our work is of a higher quality if we rush."
All of this is actually true both of us really fucking hate working ahead of time on a project or studying. Which in hindsight might have been a good thing to think about when we decided to be partners for this project. Which reminds me to mention this project was project we were assigned over summer. Were we supposed to have partners for this? No. Did either of us care? No. Regardless of that we both had the topics that were relatively similar so we worked together to save time. But now we were done and it was now 1 a.m. Saturday morning.
"Wait a fucking minute Uefi. We started working on this Thursday right?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Because I think we just wasted the last Friday of our break. We haven't slept since Thursday morning and its been two days."
"Shit."
While we may enjoy our profanity we both agreed that for soon to be sophomores we might resort to it slightly to much, but this didn't stop us from using it.
"Well we only fucked ourselves slightly I guess. We still have from today until Wednesday." I sigh again.
"I don't think we can really count Tuesday since we'll both probably be preparing."
"Still we have another four days to play Battlefield 3,watch anime and most of all get angry at the grenade spam of 64 player metro."
"I won't be joining you on the second and third if I can help it."
"Fair enough, so gonna go to bed or play for a bit?"
"Bed." And with that Uefi signed off.
"He never could give a proper good bye." I say taking my headset off.
Well it has been two days of non stop work, the only exception being a few meals though which we worked. I am finally able to lie down on the floor and sleep. Walking 5 steps to get to my actual bed would've been to much work.
***********************************************************************************************((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
"GET OFF YOUR ASS. I'M FUCKING CALLING YOU!" Fucking Uefi. How he manages to get onto my phone and change my call tone for him I have no idea.
"What do you want jackass?" I say picking up my phone. Checking the clock I notice it hasn't even been two hours. I repeat. Fucking Uefi.
"Dude my dream was awesome."
"I was up for almost 48 hours then I get less than 2 hours of sleep before you wake me up to tell me about a dream you had?"
"Pretty much,yea." Jackass.
"Fucking awesome" I say sarcasm drowning my pitiful words.
"Well anyway there was this voice and it kept saying Prepare for your life and the life of a friend will end today."
"And you believed it didn't you?"
"How could you expect me not to?"
"Sarcasm isn't very amusing Uefi."
"I don't care, but guess who I choose as my friend."
"If you fucking choose me that cosmic voice to gonna get fucked up then you are going to be on a inconceivable scale."
"I wouldn't be so quick to judge a cosmic voice."
"When the voice gives someone in your position the choice to end the life of anyone I'll judge it as fast as I please."
"Well regardless of what you have to say-
Then in a voice I can only describe as something that belongs in pokèmon and also should be stripped from existence I hear.
-QUENTIN I CHOOSE YOU!"
"Done now?"
Then the world faded to black and my soul was ripped from it.
***********************************************************************************************((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Shit. No other words can describe what just happened. Just shit. I have no idea how many times he's heard voices in his sleep and how many times he's been wrong yet he still called me every time and now the only time one of the voices was right it has to do with the end of my life, but now for the real question. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? Does it mean I die, am I going to be reborn, wake up in a new place where no one knows me or just wake up in a hospital bed with a officer in the corner because Uefi drugged the cupcakes we made that afternoon? I have no fucking clue but I plan on finding out as soon as I wake up.
"Oh shit" Is the only thing I can think of to say as I open my eyes. While I find I've said this a lot in the last 2 hours of my life I find this statement to be fitting for someone of my position.
From what I can see I'm in a basic recreational room with concrete floors and walls, a TV in the corner opposite of me, a couch on the wall aside it and another 12ft across from it at a angle to give a better view of the television from it. The walls bear nothing except for a set of light switches and a clock and a calendar. While I couldn't make out what the calendar said I noticed that its only been 10 minutes since I blacked out. There are 3 entrances to the room one on the wall I'm against,one across from it and one to my left with a ladder going up. So I'm underground. There is a kitchen to my right with a simple sink and oven along the wall with a set of cabinets running along the wall. So I'm in a home of some sort. I bring my hand up to my face to shade my eyes from the set of lights when I notice something. Now to respond in the way accustomed to me.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" My hand is fucking covered in a dark ash gray coat of fur.
"WHAT THE GODDAMN FUCK?" Taking a look at the rest of my body I find a similar affect. While I'm still wearing my gray cotton shirt and black pants I'm covered in ash gray fur and my feet seem to have been replaced with some sort of stub like appendage. Hooves? My feet are fucking hooves?
"I'm a fucking half horse thing?" I say resorting to talking to myself to make sure I'm still within some realm of sanity.
I reach up it wipe my face to try to refresh myself. It had the opposite affect. A fucking horn? I have a fucking horn? Shit.
"It's fine. I'm ok. I'm fine. I just to need to recap what's happened."
Ok. So far Uefi has sent me and him to our "deaths" which apparently means I've woken up in some kind of home as a half human half horse thing with a horn. So I'm half unicorn? Like with magic and shit? Awesome I guess. While I find the situation to be frightening the thought of using magic and shit is still quite pleasing. Now for another important question. Where the hell is Uefi. He should have been sent though around the same time as me so where is he and is he like me or is he some different kind of thing? Luckily for me my question seems to have a answer all to happy it present itself.
"I see you have awoken."
"Shit." Is the only thing I manage to say as I notice who said it.
From the ladder opening a woman from what I can see seems to have entered. She seems to have a dark blue fur color and ever flowing hair (or would it be mane since we both seem to be half horse things?) of a similar color. She is either some sort of high class woman or royalty since she is wearing a tiara and long ebony black dress. Wait. She has a horn like me AND WINGS? And to think I thought I was special when she has a horn and wings. So since this woman see to have both wings and horns I guess I can assume there are also some who have just wings, but are there people who have neither? Well I guess it's time for me to ask my questions.
"So who are you?" Damn. She beat me to it.
"I think I can ask the same of you since you seem to have been waiting for me to wake up."
"I am Princess Luna of the nation of Equestria and you?"
"Quentin and I have feeling you know where I'm from."
"And why is that?"
"Well since you seem to have been waiting for me to wake up and you're the princess of a nation and also have a horn and wings ,which I assume means you have more power than the average person, I'm going to have to guess you're the cosmic voice that spoke to John in his sleep and told him about the end of his and a friend's life. And if I am right and you are that voice, then you already know where I'm from and my position there. Am I right?"
"Yes very much so." She didn't even comment on how calm and clear thinking of a person I was for someone of my position, in truth I'm a little hurt. But this is no time for me to get depressed over someone not acknowledging my observations. **THIS IS THE TIME FOR SCIENCE.* Wait no. This is the time for me to figure out what the hell happened to me, and then it will be time to make cupcakes. I fucking love cupcakes.*
"So when do you plan on telling me why and how I'm here and where exactly here is?"
"As soon as Uefi wakes up and asking kindly would be appreciated." Then we both were silent for a minute or two. Probably less but for me time seems to be in stasis. This has become slightly awkward.
"So...are there any cupcakes around here or will I wait for those as well?" Time for phase two of my extremely well thought out plan.
"Sorry but I don't have any cupcakes right now sadly." She says as she sits down on the sofa along the wall. WHY? WHY NO CUPCAKES? It's ok i just need to calm down until Uefi wakes up. Then Cupcakes.
"Do you have any idea when Uefi will be up?"
"He should awake soon, in truth I'm surprised I expected him to wake up first since out of the two of you he's the only one who listened."
Wait. Out of the two of us?
"What do you mean out of the two of us?
"Could you not hear me call to you as well?"
Wait. What she mean call to me? The only thing I can remember from my latest dreams of the last week were lucid ones about skyrim with some weird painfully loud sound. So does she mean she was that sound? I guess I should ask when she began to call to me.
"When did you start calling to me?"
"About one week ago." So she was that annoying ass sound?
"So you were that sound that was painfully loud and annoying?"
"What do you mean painfully loud?"
"It gave me headaches and was omnipresent in my dreams and if it was your voice it was too loud for me to make words from it."
"SO THAT IS WHY YOU AWOKE FIRST!" Well that was a change from the indifferent jackass attitude she had before. Now she had a smile like a child when they get a new toy.
"What do you mean that's why I awoke first?"
"Your mind was in such a close synchronization with mine that my messages were to amplified to be made out, but also because of this your mind and new body adjusted near perfectly with each other allowing you to awake faster than your friend who was only able to make it out that day because of how far he was from synchronizing with me." She says while jumping out of glee. "I was worried you'ed die on the adjustment process."
"So...once again I beat Uefi at something?"
"If inter-dimensional and inter-body transport and adjustment is a contest to you then yes, you won by quite a large margin." Badass.
"So if I woke up in ten minutes because of my near perfect sync then how long,approximately, does Uefi have until he wakes up?"
"About 2 or 3 hours."
"And I still have to wait for him to wake up to know why I'm here?"
"While I find that the words wake up may not be the proper terms since you know that it's more or less until his new body and mind accept each other yes you do still have to wait."
"Damn."
"Could you please refrain from the cursing? I find it a little offensive." Damnit.
"I won't promise anything but I'll try."
"Thank you."
"So what do we do until he syncs?"
"I guess you could try walking around and moving since you might need some practice to adjust to your hooves." So they were hooves.
"I might as well since I have nothing better to do and you don't seem like you'll be answering anymore of my questions until Qefi wakes up."
After three embarrassing attempts at walking I finally succeeded in actual walking and sat down on the couch opposite of Luna. She mentioned something about "not expecting me to adjust so quickly" but then decided to sum it up to my easier sync of my mind and new body accepting messages from each other. Then after 3 hours of me walking around the room to help become more accustomed to hooves I hear something I've been waiting for since I woke up.
The sound of Uefi screaming "HOLY SHIT I'M FUCKING BLUE!"
"Well now let's calm him down and I'll tell you both about why you're here." Luna said rising from the couch and walking though one of the openings.
"Sure. Why not?" Wait he was in the other room all along? Well either way now to confront a whole new problem. Uefi.
