A Star that burned out to quickly

Chapter 3 (Part 1)

You wake up lying down in a dull meadow.  You have been here before. It is dull, devoid of life, and you can’t move.  The strange figure is a few inches to your right wearing a sinister black robe and wielding a long, sharp scythe; you have to focus hard to notice him.

You can’t move, no matter how much you tugged and pushed. The Figure slowly glides over to you, the closer it got, the stronger its presence becomes.  A strong sense of grief, disappointment and fear washes over you in an instant.

You can see the thing much clearer now, it had glowing, blood red and slightly glowing eyes like that of a demon, its skin was pale, pale enough to be paper. But even worse still, you can see that its smiling. Not a pleasant smile, it was huge and reached across its face from one side to the other and it revealed its sharp, dull grey teeth, you could see a dark red slither through the cracks and slide down to its rust-like lips..

The figure raises its boney right arm once again, then lunged it down, directly towards your left eye.

You shot up, screaming a blood curdling scream.  You feel a pain in your left eye as you shoot your face across the room, looking for the being.  Once again, he was nowhere to be seen.  The pain in your left eye fades and you place your hand onto your mouth and withdraw it after a few seconds.  Once again you can see the red liquid that was on your lips.

“Oh great, I get transported to a strange new place which I am guessing isn’t even in the same universe and he still follows me!” You say with a sickened tone.

You hear a noise at the door, you quickly look over. The door slowly opens and another pony pokes its head through. This one was wearing armor.

“Are you alright? I heard screaming.” The pony said.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” You say, waving your hand dismissively.

“Alright.” The pony bows then exits.

You let out a heavy sigh and lay your head back down. You place your hands on your chest and look at the ceiling. Your eyes trace the shapes on the ceiling; swirls and stars. You roll onto your side and close your eyes. You sigh once more before falling asleep.

You slowly open your eyes, you can hear the voice of a female, it is a pony you have heard before, your eyes are met with Princess Luna's big blue eyes that reminded you of sapphires. The event shocks you and causes you to fall out of your warm, cozy bed, onto the cold, hard marble flooring.

Luna looks at you, trying not to laugh.

“Thanks for that.” You say. Blinking a couple times, trying to focus.

“Sorry, if I scared you” she says snickering.

Your cheeks heat up a little, you can tell you are blushing.  You place one hand on your knee and slowly push yourself up. After brushing yourself off you look at Luna.

“I have a question” you say, she looks at you.

“Is there a bathroom I can clean myself in?” you ask her.

The pony nods and starts to walk out of the room. You follow. She leads you through some hallways and takes you to a room labeled ‘Stallions room’ the door is wooden, light blue and looks quite light.

“Here you are, after you are report to my sister and she will give you something to do” Luna says, you smile at the pony.

“Thank you” you say with a slight chirp in your voice. You have not had a shower since you got to this world

The pony trots off and leaves you in front of the room.
