Mind over machine
My new self
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI wasn't fully aware of what was currently going on after that...I woke up in my bed.I assumed it was just a horrible nightmare and just ignored it.I couldn't shake the weird feeling I was having however.I went into my bathroom and splashed some water on my face, in an attempt to try to forget about it.I looked in the mirror at my self and jumped back in fright of what I saw.I had scars all over my face,some of my mane was even torn off....
"Maybe it wasn't a..dre-"
"Um.Hello?"I heard a scared voice squeal from downstairs.
I put on a hooded cloak to cover my face and peeked downstairs....
"hello?"I whispered back to the voice
"Lilly! oh thank Celestia your alive.Why aren't you in the hospital you poor dear.Um are you ok?"
"Who are you?"I whispered again.My voice even quieter then last time.I was still unable to see the source of the voice
"Oh.I'm sorry.Lightning Dasher just gave me the key so I could take care of your cat fluffy.Don't you recognize my voice?"The figure slowly crept up the stairs.I turned my head so it wouldn't be visible.It was Fluttershy.
"I'm so sorry I frightened you.You scared me a bit too.Don't you think you should be in bed?"
"Why w-w-what h-h-happened to m-m-me?"
"sweetie don't you remember?You were hit by an apple cart.You were really hurt.I saw Celestia take you away.I thought she took you to the hospital.I guess I was wrong."
I felt a shiver crawl up my spine as and slowly stopped my movement.I wasn't dreaming! But if I wasn't dreaming how did I get back here?There were so many questions rushing through my mind at once I wasn't sure what to believe anymore.
"Um.why are you wearing that cloak?Here.I'll help you to bed."Fluttershy said in a caring and friendly manner
"NO!"I pushed Fluttershy back with all the force I could summon.My voice sounded odd.It was almost metallic. I looked over to Fluttershy. I had pushed her into a wall.There was an indent in the plaster where she hit the wall.She flopped to the floor and began to cry.
"Fluttershy! Oh Celestia what have I done.Are you ok?did I hurt you?I'm really sorry"I didn't know what to do.I tried to help her up but when I touched her she flinched
"M-m-m-m-my wing.It really hurts!ow oh...um...ow"She cried
"P-please let me help you.I'm really sorry.I don't know what came over me."I looked at her wing.It was flattened.The bones were crushed indefinitely.I tried again to help her but she just kept flinching in fear
"Please.No.I think I need to go to the hospital too now."She whimpered.I panicked and ran outside to get someone.The first pony I saw...Carrot top!
"carrot top! come here quick.There's been an accident!"
"i'd say just look at you"she replied jokingly
"I'm serious."I said as I pulled her into my house.I showed her Fluttershy.
"she won't let me near her.can you please take her to the hospital."
"wow.What happened to you? you look like you were hit by a train."carrot top asked.
"oh.um nothing.It was just a little accident"Fluttershy said shaking as she tried to stand up.
The two left and headed to the hospital.What did I do?I just attacked the most harmless and most kind pony in Ponyville just because she tried to help me.What was wrong with me.I sat down and tried to think about it for a minute.I took off the cloak and wet upstairs to my bedroom.I looked in my mirror and saw my body.My legs were back on my body but they were.....shiny?I touched one of them with one of my hooves and It made a metal clanking sound.I also noticed the massive scars across my torso and all the stitches.I took a second look and realized I had wings!Metal wings painted the same color as my fur.I appeared more metal than pony.What in the hay was going on?I tried to touch my eyes and noticed one of them was glass! This didn't feel right.I backed away from the mirror shaking my head in disbelief.
I couldn't remember a thing so what happened?I needed to find answers.I went downstairs,put on the cloak again and stepped outside.It was bright.Too bright for me.I walked down the road to Lightning dasher's house.Maybe he knew what was going on.
All I could be certain of right now was that I wasn't who I thought I was.
