Awakening as... Myself?

*Pant* *Pant*.

I run as fast as could, not having a clear direction of where I was heading to. All I know is that I just want to get away from that Monster. I do not know how the heck did I end up here in this dark and deranged place, wait... Where am I again? I Don't Want To Know, Just Run Dillon, Run!

*Pant* *Pant*.

I do not want to look back, ever! That thing, that horrifying thing, I have never seen anything so horrible in my life that scared the living crap out of me! Sure, I have experienced some intense scares from playing Slenderman, reading Creepypastas and accidently clicked a link that pops up one of those annoying Screamers, but, never I have been so freaked out in my life!

*Pant* *Pant*.

Wait a second, what did that thing look again? Why am I running? Where is this place, why is it so blurry?

*Thumb*.

I fell, doesn't look like I have tripped over something, as there is only a dark path right ahead of my eyes. I tried to move my body but I couldn't, as if some unknown force have immobilized me. Knowing that I can at least know the looks of the thing that was chasing after me, I try to turn my head. However...

I saw nothing. Nothing but a path that leads to darkness and black-colored trees beside the road. Noticing the chaser is not nearby, I quickly take a look of my surroundings and try to get myself up again.

"Urgh...!" I cried. This is not good, I cannot move my body. As if the spell wasn't going to ware off anytime soon.

"Darn it!"

I cursed. Struggling to flee, I tried crawling and rolling to make my way out. But just as predicted, none of those worked.

"Darn It!"

I cursed again. I begin to think that this is the end of me. How terrible it is for a victim to get tortured and not able to know the culprit. As if this whole thing was designed just to make fun of me. Just as I was rationalizing this environment, I heard footsteps coming towards me.

In the mist of darkness, I saw a shadowy figure heading towards me. It is about 9 feet tall with a long serpentine body and short legs. I panicked, wondering what can the creature do to me. The figure soon came close to me. However, I can only see his silhouette despite that he is only about 5 inches away from me.

The creature begin to speak in a mischievous tone. "How pity for a guy like you to be scared of the dark. Although, you aren't the first person I've met to have this kind of fear, you know? It's a shame for boys like you to be scared of darkness. Aren't all boys suppose to be brave? Haha, it was fun to torture you by using your fears. You have given me a wonderful time to have fun in your world. Now, as for my gratitude, I'm going to give you a gift. A gift which you will never forget. Ahhahahahaha, AHHAHAHAHAHA!" The speech was getting blurrish as it progressed, until I cannot make up what it was saying for the last 2 sentences. My vision begins to blur and fade from dark to pure blackness as the creature let out his evil and maniac-ish laugh.

Saturday, 6.58 A.M.

______________________________

*Chirp* *Chirp*, *Chirp *Chirp*.

"Was it morning already?" I thought, then turned around, trying to get back to sleep.

Darn... What a dream I had back then. Nightmares, yeah. I do get them, and I am scared of the dark too. No worries cause they do not affect me much in my decision making. Oh well, let me just brush off that and get on with my laptop.

"Yaawwwnnnnnn," As I begin my morning by streching out my body and letting out a loud yawn.

My name is Dillon. A male, yeah, you can guess it. Teenager. Likes video games. Listens to loads of Electronica, and recently got into FiMFiction. Yeah that is me.

I reach out my hand towards my watch. I had a habit of picking up my watch and look at it every time after waking up from a sleep...

"Huh?"

Strange, I cannot feel my fingers. "Whaa da hh..." I opened my mouth.

Huh? What happened to my voice? The male voice that is usually heard from my mouth is gone. It is now replaced with a feminine voice, similar to Twilight Sparkle's but a bit deeper and monotone, identical to my usual style.

I quickly get up of my warmy and comfortable bed. Arose from my sleeping pose, I quickly notice something is very wrong with my body. I quickly draw out my hand, hoping that everything is fine. Well, the arm is fine. I can still move it up and down. But The Others Are Not!

"Where the heck have my fingers gone!?"

I screamed softly so nobody around would be alerted. Sadly, the voice of an average teenage girl can still be heard.

And my skin, originally light brown colour had turn into bright white. Of course it's abnormal! Maybe I have gotten some kind of weird or undiscovered disease or something? But if that's only the colour, that couldn't explain what had happened to my fingers! And another symptom, my abdomen seems to be longer than usual.

"What happened to me...?" Out of shock and curiosity, I had an urge went to the bathroom mirror to find out what had happened to me. I try to calm myself down and remember if I had done anything erroneous yesterday. Did I drink something strange last night? I suppose not. How 'bout eating? No, I would not eat some mysterious glowing pizza with mold growing out of it without asking my parents, or so? Well how about... Oof! I fell to the ground. How can standing suddenly become so darn hard? As if my sense of balance was disoriented or something. Never mind that, hard or not, I can still push myself up walking towards to the bathroom.

Ouch! I fell down again. This is the 7th time my stomach had it's pain train. Nevertheless, I finally arrive at the bathroom despite of having many unfamiliar problems standing up. Now again, I try standing like a human, suppose I will fell like the rest of the times. But this time, I quickly place my hand at the edge of the sink, keeping me standing up with little effort required. Now it was the time to find out the truth.

"Okay, so let see what h-..." I was tripped out before I could finished my sentence.

"Wha.. Whada..." I was lost for words to see what is inside the mirror is not me, but a bright white coated pony.

"WHAT THE HELL HAD HAPPENED TO ME!?"

I screamed in my head, hoping that this is not real. I try to pinch my skin to wake myself up, but I remembered, I Had No Darn Fingers! So I punched myself in the face.

"Ow...!"

So this is not dream. I have become my OC pony! The pony with long wildish style black ha- *cough* I mean mane, white ski- *cough* Uh, coat, big round ey- Oh wait, yeah, eyes and a clumsy personality that does not know how to wal- *cough* Gait and ru- Okay, seriously I should stop corresponding human anatomies to horse anatomies.

I was freaked out. With a sudden burst of emotions and thoughts, my mind went completely blank.

* * * * * 10 seconds later after I regain my reasoning ability * * * * *

"Okay," I told myself. "Just relax and..." I paused my thoughts for a second.

"And what?"

My conflict mind pursues. Nothing good can happen to me as far as I can tell.

"And what?"

It repeated, doubting about my optimism. I got a new body to get used to, no fingers, need to walk using 4 legs, cannot write and gender bended. The situation that a higher being had put me into was way too outrageous for my mind to gasp through. And because of that, my emotions are getting the better of me, a lot of questions begin pooping out of my head.

What is going to happen to me? What will my parents think about this? How will the other people see me? What about Monday, I still have school! I'm not a human anymore! How can I...? Wait... I'm a female now right? Is that good? Okay, not that good. Will my friends still want to be friends with me? No, I don't want to lose my buddies. I don't want to blend with other girls, I don't like girl's stuff. And with this body, how am I going to...?

Right... I think I'll stop here.

Worrying is no use as far as my experience tells me. So I begin to list down a to-do list in my mind map.

I should learn how to gait first, then trot, and then gallop. That should keep me efficient enough in my locomotion. Then how about my parents? They are currently sleeping. After they found out I have turned into a pony, and a female, guess there is not going to be any happy moments. That is a problem to be dealt with later. And there is my school, 2 more days until it begins, left that for later as well... So there is only room left for 3 things, my social circle, my laptop and the place I should go.

Social circle? I have no problem telling my friends that I, a male gamer, music listener and a student had been ponified and turned into a female. I don't have many friends, and those who are really my friends will understand me. I guess it's okay to leave it until they asked me about it. For the girls? "Bleh," I brush off. If I don't want to do those silly girly stuff with them, then I don't.

Now for my laptop. I know that I cannot live without it. But I guess these hooves of mine can handle typing a keyboard and clicking a mouse. I also hope they would be suitable for gaming. Because I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ENTERTAINMENT! (Literally I can.) I also had a bag which is suitable to carry it.

"My dearest item," My mind begin altering into a trance state. Ah, how would I even live without a gadget that enables me to roam through the data world of gaming, music and information?

And now, for the place that I should go.

Well, this is a tough one. Not much people here in Malaysia know about the show My Little Pony. I doubt that the citizens here will even know there are people who have turned into ponies. Even if they know, I guess they won't even take concern of this issue. And where can I get all the money for living? I can't, no, more like I don't want to work for a living right now. I am a teenager who needs to be taken care of by his parents. Studying is more important than working is to me right now. Even if I do want to work, how can this body of mine be good enough to make good results? As far as I concern, I should be staying at home for the moment. Plus, leaving home without any experience would not do me any good.

"Okay, that clears things up, now let's get down to business," I said with full confidence. "First, let's start with the locomotion."

I quickly stand up using my newly formed limbs, bend my body until all the limbs have touch the ground, then turn my neck. Yes, that should do it. Now just need to move my hoo... "Wa, Wao...!"

*BANG!*

My body crashed on the floor. Luckily the bathroom isn't wet, I still have my pajamas on. Having wet clothes on the body would make anyone feel uncomfortable. Plus, I doubt I can take my clothes off in my current body. Suppose I should stop remembering the golden times about walking with 2 legs.

"Think Dillon, think how to walk like a dog, cat or pony, horse, whatever."

I was determined after clearing my mind with those worlds. I stand up, again using my limbs. And now, thinking about how a cat, dog, or pony, or horse will walk... Or gait. They uses 2 legs at the same time right? Upper right one and lower right one, or the opposite, upper right and lower left? Well, I am about to find out myself.

*BOOM!*

"Yeah, that's wrong too... Haiz," With an exhausting sigh letting out, I keep on practicing with my 16 failures ongoing, and some bruises on my ankles and some on my abdomen. Practice makes perfect as they say, so if I keep practicing, I will get this right...

*BANG!*

...Sometime.

"Urgh!" I cried. "How could this be so damn hard!?" I thought, complaining myself about my standards comparing to other quadruped animals. I have enough patience of dealing with my new way of walking.

*SQUEAK!*

Just when I was about to punch the wall, I heard the sound of a door cracking open just a few feet away from my room.

"Oh, (Bed) Sheet!" I thought, alarmed!

My parents have awaked, but I haven't prepared to face them in this form! Damn, I need to think of something fast. Come'on Dillon, do something quick!
