Dear Diary
Have you ever woken up one morning to see your entire life crumble before you? Have you woken up to figure out that all you know doesn't matter? Have you ever lost everything that you cared about? This is exactly what happened when the sun rose on the 25th of february, 2012. But, little did I know that this was not the end of my life. It was the beginning.

The sun shined through my eylids, glowing. It annoyed me. Sometimes I just want to pick up the sun, move it down, and go back to sleep. Like THAT was possible...

I moaned, shifting through the assoetment of pillows and blankets. Right when I moved, I realized that my entire body ached. Never had I felt so sore before.

My stomach growled at me. I was starving. Now, all of my senses were coming back to life. I could feel the soft pillow under my head. I smelled the swwet sissle of bacon. I knew my mom was making bacon, egg, and cheese biscuts. It's pretty much the only thing she ever makes with bacon.

My stomach hissed. Again.

I sqirmed through my bed some more, trying to at least sit up. The soreness of my body tore at me. I somehow managed to push my body up with (what I thought was) my arms. I sat there, still with my eyes closed. The sunlight was blinding me, even through my eyelid.

My stomach growled, for a third time. My hunger was eating at me... No pun intended.

I had to go Get food. I felt like I had been stranded, with no food for a week. I must have bacon!

I moved my legs out from the bed, and tried to stand up. for some reason, my legs never hit the ground. I anticipated to touch land soon, but I never did. I fell from the edge of the bed, smacking something hard.

The soreness and pain exploded in my body (twice). The sudden impact made me dizzy. But something didn't seem right. I have never had any objects this hard in my room. What did I fall on?

I opened my eyes. The morning glow blocked my vision for a second, but soon my eyes adjusted. But even then, still something couldn't have been right. I was staring face to face with... Myself? Not only that, but it seemed to be made out of stone!

The sight of something so unpredictable jerked me into full conciosness. I sat upright.

Billions of questions went through my mind. What happened to me? How did this happen? What am I suppost to do now? And most importantly, if that was me then who am I?

That last question hung in my mind. I was afraid to look at myself, but I knew i would have to soon.

I slowly lifted my hand into my vision, somewhat turning my head away as if I would suddenly attack myself. Who knows what could happen?

But what I saw took me completly by surprise. A purple... Hoof? Not only that, but it seemed like a chunk was taken out of reality, and replaced with a cartoon! I turned my hand... hoof around just to make sure it was real. Still, even after that, I thoght I was dreaming.

At this point, I was freaking out. I was breathing very quikly, almost hyperventilating. I slammed my head on the wooden bedframe nearby. Nope, not a dream...

"Kaylie, are you alright?" a muffled voice came from outside my room. It was my mother. She must of heard me. I wanted to scream at her, but I knew that I should keep this a secret. For as long as I could, anyway.

"um... I'm fine." I squeeked. Something was wrong with my voice, too! It didn't sound like me at all!

I had to see what happened to me. I crawled to a mirror that was hanging on the side of my desk. After seeing the desk, I noticed something was wrong with it too! Someone knocked over all of my stuff! That didn't matter now. I still headed tward the mirror.

In an instant, my eyes widened. What I saw was a completly different person. Actually, a completly different animal! Purple furr? 4 legs? A horn?!? And what the heck was that picture on my butt? A star? Note to whoever's body this is - nice placement of that tattoo.

I looked back to the stone figure that lay on the floor. This time, I saw something that I didn't notice before. It was holding a crumpled paper in it's hand. A note? Maybe this note could at least explain half of this.

I ran... erm... quikly trotted back to the statue, and reached out for the paper in her hand. I tried to speedily snatch the paper, but the I remembered. My fingers disapeared. After that, I tried wrapping my arm around the paper to pull it out of the stone figure's hand, but when I tried to pull, my arm slipped out. Then, I tried grabbing the note inbetween my two hoofs. Finally, I had the note out of her hand, and open to read freely.

I read the paper franticly. But, to my surprise, it had almost no info on what happened. All that really stood out was, "You have a long journey ahead of you."

At this time, I knew nothing. I had no idea what that tattoo was. I had no idea what kind of journey I would be on. Most importantly, I had no idea what kind of powers I had. It was a terrible start. But, as the quote goes, "Greatness from small beginnings." I never knew how correct this quote was.
