Chapter 2

As you hit the ground Your eyes shoot open and you sit up. The room you were just standing in is no more and your eyes are overflowed with color as you frantically rub them trying to bring them back into focus. You dart your eyes around the room trying to place yourself, your heart beats fast as you realize where you are and you're mind races as you stare at the scene in front of you. You're in your bed back in the library, “But how did I...”  You whisper this as you stare around the room.

You feel a hoof push on your shoulder “You can’t jump up like that, you need to rest.”

You snap your body to her voice “Twilight! “

Twilight looks at you, her big purple eyes they have their normal glow and her hair is not the dull color you just saw and has its bright and dark streaks of purple, her coat also has its vibrant lavender color. You throw yourself around Twilights neck and head and began to laugh “You’re not old!”

Twilight lets out a little giggle and pushing on your shoulder trying to lie you down, “Are you ok? You seem a bit jumpy.”

You break your grip from her and try to explain what you just saw in your dream.

Twilight gives a sweet smile “You need to rest; Celestia said weird dreams may be a side effect of the magic.”

Magic? You look down at your body, your shirt is torn from where you were shot, you frantically pull the shirt up and rub the skin, there’s no blood and no wound but this time you feel a pain as you push your side, you let out a joy filled laugh as you continue to poke yourself in pain.

Twilight bats your hand with her hoof “Don’t do that! You could mess with the magic and cause yourself it to relapse.”

You look to Twilight and smile “how is this possible? How can I look as if nothing happened?”

Twilight giggles at you “Magic can be used for many things even stopping death, when the Princess brought you back you were in pretty bad condition but luckily she knew a spell that could heal you.”

You nod at her explanation; if a pony can stop death then i’m not going to question it.

It takes your mind a few seconds to fully understand what Twilight just said to you and when it finally sinks in you’re stuck on the word, death? Could I have really died? Am I dead now?! Your stomach feels queasy at the thought and your heart beat starts back out in a fast pace, you stare at Twilight for a few moments her soft big purple eyes start to calm your mind and your body. You start rubbing your head with your left hand trying to stop a headache from all the excitement.

Twilight notices your change in attitude and again pushes on your shoulder “You need to rest when your better I’ll explain more.”  

You give into her attempt at pushing you down and you close your eyes as you feel yourself start to fall back to sleep.

(Later)

After a few hours of sleep you’re awoken by the sound of your name being called in the faint distance, you open your eyes and sit up to look around the room.

Twilight is asleep next you, she is curled up under the blankets in a small cocoon, you smile at the sight of her still being asleep. But your smile fades from your face as you again hear your name being called; the voice is very low and sounds like it is coming from elsewhere in the house. You scrape the inside of your ear trying to move the hair that blocks it for better hearing.

You stay sat up in the bed for a few moments as you listen for another sound…       but you don’t hear anything. Twilight beings to stir next to you, she lets out a yawn and slowly opens her eyes as she looks at you, “Are you ok?”

You look towards her “Sorry I woke you I just thought I heard something.”

Twilight lets out another yawn and rolls over.

“Hey Twilight I’m going to walk around for a minute, I think sleeping all day is starting to get to me.”

She lets out a low sound and you take that as a yes, you slowly move your legs out from the covers and plant them on the wood floor. The floor is freezing for some reason, it takes you a moment to get use to the cool surface but you finally get to your feet. You stretch for a moment then head to the threshold of the door; you poke your head out of the room and look towards the stairs.

You look down the stairs to your right and then to your left down the hall towards Twilight’s room. You think to yourself, you know what Spike never said Hi to me today…I think I’ll go wake him up.

You walk towards Twilights room, as you peer inside you see that her bed is still neatly made; you look towards Spikes pet bed and see the outline of a body. You smile as you tiptoe over to the bed; you grab the covers and fling them off the bed “Surprise SPIKE!”

As the covers move you notice only pillows and a note, you stare at the bed a bit disappointed that a pissed off purple little dragon didn’t jump out of it. You bend down and grab the note, you think to yourself if this is a note saying that he ran off with Rarity then you know you have died but somehow ended up in Spikes heaven…or wherever dragons go.

You look over the little yellow piece of paper,

GET OUT!!!
There are only these two words on the paper, you stare at in and flip it over trying to see if anywhere else on it has more words, “That’s it?”

“What’s it?”

Twilight’s voice startles you and you drop the paper “Whoa Twilight you almost gave me a heart attack.”

Twilight laughs at your comment.

You give a little chuckle, but think to yourself no seriously don’t fucking sneak up behind someone who’s been shot.

“What are you looking at?”

You look back to the ground to pick the paper up but it seems to have floated off somewhere “Um nothing Twilight…hey where is Spike?”

Twilight levitates the tossed blankets and folds them on Spikes bed as she talks “He was summoned by Celestia for his annual dragon check up.”

You nod your head at her comment, seems legit.

Twilight stares at you for a moment “You sure you’re ok?”

You reply fast “Ya I’m fine just need to stretch my legs.”

Twilight looks you over for a moment then turns and walks out the door “Ok well be quite when you come back to bed.”

You watch as she leaves the room, when she is gone from sight you snap back to the ground for the paper you once had “Ok paper where are you.” 

You look under the beds and mess up Twilights neatly folded blankets looking for the paper, you decided to give up after a few minutes and just decide to shrug it off as a magical something you can’t explain.

Your return to your bed tired and ready to sleep, you move the covers slowly and carefully place yourself into the bed as not to disturb Twilight. As you close your eyes you hear her voice, “Your feet are cold.” You playfully move your feet onto her until she lets out a squeal of disapproval.

You rub her head and say good night.
