Too young to die
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterI got dressed up in a nice, button down alabaster shirt. Under it was a simple gray T-shirt. I fixed my glasses on my nose, and put on my sneakers. Tonight we were going out on dinner birthday for mom, because it was her birthday today. I looked at my appearance one more time before deciding I looked good enough, my light brown hair sitting flat atop my head. I checked my teeth, to see they needed a good brushing. I walked into the bathroom adjacent to my bedroom, I got my toothbrush from a cleverly hidden drawer. After brushing, I got my MP3 because it was gonna be a awhile to get Red Lobster, and then the wait for the food, it was just worth taking with me.
I stashed it in my pocket, got my wallet which had a green army camo to it. I looked over myself making sure I didn't forget anything and walked downstairs, only to be greeted by my puppy Jackie. She was a Border Terrier, and had a knack for chewing on anything. Her muzzle gaped open as she tried to nip at my heels, I kneeled letting Jackie take a long hard bite on my finger, her undeveloped teeth didn't cause enough pain but enough to cause irritation. I pulled my finger away and walked out to the van, it was a golden brown Journey. I hopped in the back, my older brother Austin was already there along with my younger Kyle.
I put the ear-buds into my ears and blasted the song Blame it on the Equine unbeknownst to any of my family member I was a brony, I doubted they were but I was. Sooner than I wanted the song ended and the next one played, it was also then Mom, Dad and my sister Jessica got in the van and we were on our way to the restaurant. The next song played as I stared out the side window. The ground blurred as the car entered the highway, dad sped up to around 65 MPH, considering how fast the ground was moving.
I muttered to myself, "Thanks for the memories..." That didn't go unnoticed though, my brother, my older brother mind you, asked "What?" I just responded with a simple, "Nothing." I continued to stare out the window, a dodge challenger was parallel to us, it was yellow with black stripes down the center, not unlike Bumblebee from Transformers. I yawned as we came onto one of those single laned bridges that usually curve, or have a turn, I watched as we rose and began to come back down. My dad pulled off the highway onto an exit from there it branched off into different roads, my dad chose to go right, which soon led us to the restaurant. The song that was currently playing was shut off by a simple click from the on/off switch.
I popped the ear-buds out as we walked into Red Lobster. The reception area was bland, a simple red rug, a lobster tank in one corner, a desk where the receptionist sat, a few benches and a hallway which branched off into the dining hall and the bathroom. I followed my mom as we walked to our designated table, we all sat down and got our respective menus, Kyle wouldn't shut up about a four course meal, I simply wanted a bowl of pasta which had chicken, tomatoe, and other goodies like scallops! Austin wanted fish nachos, and a pizza, Jessica was sharing with mom, they also got the four course meal, Dad got a alcoholic strawberry smoothie, along with a steak and crab legs. I got Sprite as my drink while the other just wanted Coka Cola.
When we got out meals I dug in quite happily, it was delicious! The mixture of scallops and tomatoes gave my tongue a tingly feeling, while the pasta made it hit a home-run! This food was definitely worth the wait and the price. The waitress came over, to check if we needed anything, the answer was no. I looked up from my noodles to see a small basket holding cheese rolls, I took one because when they get cold, they don't taste nearly as appetizing when warm. I took a large bite, gulping audibly. I then returned to my pasta, making sure to add scallops to each scoop full of noodles.
When we finished eating, I took out my Mastercard, and handed it to my mom who took care of the transaction. She handed it back and I returned it to my wallet, which resided in my back right pocket. We walked out, the sky was now a pollock blue, while it's earlier color was a cashew color. We walked across the lot, to find our car how we left it, I hopped right on in, two brothers and one sister in toll. I was about to pop my earbuds in when mom asked, "So, how did you guys like the meal?" We all answered truthfully, or what I thought was truthfully.
"Good, amazing really."
"Delicious!"
"Meh, good enough."
It was finally my turn to say, "It was good, I liked how the scallops left my tongue tingling afterwards, almost like a pear." My dad started the ignition, and began the journey home, heh, Journey. The song that played was called Two steps from hell - Starfall. It broke into its drums, and the flutes, or whatever those were. I stared out my window, I always loved to see the sights, I saw a school, a oil deposit, some commercial buildings, along with a bingo center. We soon entered onto the highway, I saw a flash in the corner of my eyes, I turned to see a flash in the clouds that had now accumulated. Jessica looked at me her jaw wide, "Did, you see that?" I nodded, equally confused as to what could of caused that flash.
Maybe it was lightning? But I didn't hear thunder, and it hadn't started raining yet. I heard my dad mutter curses under his breath at the wreck-less driving of all the people around us in there own respective auto mobiles. I saw the flash of light again, just this time it was on my side, and disappeared quickly, I kept on staring at where the flash was. This was really weird, almost like that flash-storm, I swear I saw a face in the clouds! I swear I did! But no one believed me, I looked back up at the clouds, this really was weird. My eyes slowly looked forward at the road ahead.
Nothing that interested me there, I turned my eyes back to the window, when I heard a car alarm blare. I quickly shot forward looking out the driver's window to see and hear my dad scream, "SSSSHHHHHIIIIIITTTT!!!" Fortunately he swerved to the right just in time, time slowed, I stared at the truck that nearly hit us, but I looked head to see we were heading straight off a hill, barreling into the forest on either side of the highway.
I could hear the wheels squelching in the mud, I heard a cackle of thunder as the world flashed once more... this time I was surrounded in a cloak of blackness...

Twilight felt a seismic shift in the magical energies surrounding Equestria, like a vveeerrryy long teleport, with a foreign object, she shook her head. Probably Princess Celestia or Luna...
