I'm a Nightmare!
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe walked through the halls in silence. Twilight and Cadence occasionally glancing back at me, Luna walking ahead, and Celestia walking next to me having fallen back to comfort me.
“Now, what do your memories consist of?” asked Celestia as we walked into the dining hall.
“My life on Earth.” I answered, a little surprised at the sudden question, as most of the walk from my room to the dining hall was spent in silence. She gave me a reassuring smile, then asked,
“So you know nothing about this world?” Here came the awkward part.
“Well, not exactly. In my world we have a box that tells us stories. One of those stories is about this world, and follows the bearers of the Elements of Harmony beginning from the defeat of Nightmare Moon.” I explained, realizing how insane it sounded as I said it.
“So they let you keep up with the world.” came the voice of Twilight, with more then a little awe. I looked at her as I sat down, my eyebrow cocked in confusion.
“First, who is they? Second what do mean by 'keep up with the world?” I asked her, as we sat down at the table. Servants came out almost immediately, and, after they got over the shock of Nightmare Moon sitting at the table, gave us our food and left.
“You mean the Prin-er Celestia didn't tell you yet?” asked Twilight, staring up at me, then to her teacher.
“I didn't exactly have time to do that Twilight Sparkle. She fainted after seeing me.” said Celestia, with an amused smile.
“Could somepony answer my question please? I would really like to know why I'm in Equestria, and why I look like a foals worst nightmare. No pun intended.” I said, the last part coming when Cadence began to giggle. She and Twilight seemed to have gotten over their fear of me rather quickly, as after that statement it took all their concentration to stay in their seats. Luna stared at me as though I had just said I was going to make a bunny bonfire. Celestia wrapped a wing around me and graciously answered my question.
“The they we speak of is non other then the Elements themselves. They imprisoned you in a world of their making for two years, in an attempt to reform you. It seems that they have succeeded, by wiping out the memory of your past and giving you an outsiders view of our world.” she explained, and if I hadn't been covered in black fur I would have turned as white as a ghost.
“So, a few necklaces and a crown trapped me in a fake world, warped my sense of time, gave me a family, and then ripped it all away from me? Just to bring me back to a world where I am one of the most feared villains, and yet the only memory I have of my past sins is from a six year old's television show!” I jerked a way from Celestia, and glared at all of them. For the first time I noticed how much taller than all the other ponies I was. Only Celestia reached my height, and I was scared. I could feel tears begin to build up in my eyes, but I fought them down. Instead I walked across the hall to one of the guards. “Please take me to my room. I cannot remember the way there, and I am in desperate need of a shower.” If he was surprised by my request he didn't show it. He simply nodded and led me back to my room. As we left the dining hall I could feel four pairs of eyes just staring at me. When I got back to my room, I ungraciously slammed my door in the unfortunate guards face before he could ask if I needed anything else. Then I went into my restroom, started the shower, turned one all the loud noise making things, and collapsed under the stream of water balling my eyes out.
