I was in the same dream all over again for I think the hundredth time. I lost count really. I was in the same dark room inside a crib like structure. I couldn’t make anything out at all. But I did hear the sound of what I thought was fighting going on. With the sounds of cling and clanging. I heard the sound of what I thought was screaming of pain and splattering sounds. In the dream I was so afraid I was crying loudly hoping for something to happen. Suddenly there was a loud crashing noise. In my dream I looked to my left vision half blurry due to my tears and saw that it was my father.
When that happened I woke up gasping for air from my nightmare, vision blurry from tears, and in a cold sweat. I looked to my right past the half closed curtains covering little of the big glassed window and saw that it was still dark outside. Lunas moon was still up. I let out a sigh as I wiped the tears out of my eyes and slowed my breathing back to normal.
“Why does that keep happening over and over? If this keeps up I won't get any sleep.” I said aloud to myself. I then looked to my left at the decorative door standing high and big against the wall. I let out another sigh as I threw the covers off of me and instead of walking to the door made my way to the window. I opened the glass window that led to a balcony outside and walked onto it. I looked out as I felt the cool wind gently blow against me which was a soothing feeling to me. The wind blew against my black mane and tail along with my brown coat. My wings folded against my sides and horn poking slightly through my mane. I closed my eyes and breathed in the cool air a small smile forming on my lips.
The small amount of fear that I had felt moments ago was now fading away as if I never felt it in the first place. That’s when somepony appeared to my right.
“Well up early again I see blackbell.” I didn’t jump this time since I was so used to this. I opened my eyes and looked to my right to see one of my few best friends Princess Twilight. I chuckled at what she said.
“Yeah...same dream again I guess.” I replied.
“You know this is starting to become a habit Blackbell. Waking up around 2:24 A.M. and standing out here on the balcony overlooking all of canterlot.”
“You keep track of the time?” I asked. She just chuckled.
“Yeah...I can’t replace what I used to be before I became a princess I guess.” She said. That’s when I remembered about learning that Twilight was turned into a princess for all she had done and grew as a leader. Sometimes it seems like she wants to turn back while other times it seems that she’s ok with the changes she went through.
“Well....did I ever told you what the dream was about?” I asked. She shook her head.
“No...you never bothered to try or even seemed like you wanted to tell anypony. You always just say it was the same dream. You want to talk about it because I could probably help you or get somepony to help you.” She said with a slightly concerned tone in her voice. I nodded.
“Yeah....I really have to get this out. Hay maybe you might be able to tell me what it all means.” I said with a chuckle.
“Yeah sure. We better do this inside so we don’t catch a cold.” She said. I nodded as I followed her back inside into my room. She walked over to my bed and climbed on as I did the same sitting beside her. When I did that she wrapped a comforting hoof around my shoulders.
“Tell me as much as you want about your dream ok?” She said in a comforting voice. I nodded as I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. With my eyes still closed I began to say my dream aloud as it was happening all over again. Only this time I was hoping that I would see everything.
“I’m in a some sort of weird crib.” I began. “ I am crying out of fear and screaming for any kind of comfortment. Then I stopped crying when I heard some sort of yell....like somepony yelling charge or something. Then there what seems to be an earthquake happening with the sound of a loud rumbling and the earth began to shake. I could hear a loud yell being heard from what seemed to be outside and then a few seconds later the sound of a loud clang. The two, four, eight, I don’t know how many. Seconds go by and I hear the kind of sound you would hear when a sword goes through.......a body. I don’t why I know that but I just do.” I could feel tears start to rise into my eyes as I continued to remember.
“ I continue to cry as the sound continued outside and I hear the sounds of screams, magic being used, then the plops of a pony falling dead. I want it to stop I yearn for it...then it just gets worst. Then I hear a voice I will never forget...... my fathers. He’s yelling commands of some sort. Then I can hear the fight getting closer and closer my crying getting worse. Then I hear my mother yelling but I can’t make it out. It sounds like a warning and as soon as I hear that theres a loud crash and I see my father through the bars of my crib.” I close my eyes tightly doing my best to keep my tears in as my voice shakes slightly. I’m starting to cry because of the state my own father was in.
“ I see him in all this armor with his sword covered in green. His armor splattered green and some red. I see him...panting as he looks up at me. I stop crying and reach out to him somehow knowing that he’s there to save me. He faintly smiled as he gets up and starts to stagger towards me. But when that happens I see...him. Discord charges forward and tackles my father to the ground right in front of me. I begin to cry again as I see Discord raise his hand that has the paw of a manticore. It turns into a claw as he thrusts it at my father. My dad was able to raise his sword in time to stab his paw making discord yell in pain and anger. That’s when my dad head butted him making Discord stagger up and get kicked away from him into a wall.” Tears overflow through my closed eyes as I continue the nightmare for I know what happens next.
“ But before my dad has time to react I hear discord speak....i’ll never forget what he said. He said ‘I see you love your precious daughter.....guess I won't need her now.’ I just see my dad get up quickly and his eyes grow wide with terror. I look up and see that discord has his blood dripping paw over me claws out. He then charges from where he was thrown at me. What happens next is just too quick. My dad jumps forward in front of discord. He wasn’t fast enough to raise his sword and was slashed. I see his helmet get thrown off of his head while his head is jerked up. Blood flies through the air...the blood belongs to my dad. He yells in pain as he drops his sword and raises his hands up to his face..then is thrown to the side like a piece of trash and into a wall.” Tears are pouring out now as I begin to sob but want to finish the dream to get it over with.
“Discord l-l-laughs as he makes his way over to my d-d-d-dad. I cry now seeing my dad get hurt and I stretch my h-h-hooves forward wanting it all to just stop and be held. Discord raises his paw up again it covered in blood my dad on the ground groaning in pain as he looks at me. His hand against his left eye his other held up towards Discord. Discord laughs as he thrusts his paw forward to hit my d-d-d-dad. But then something amazing happens.” Then just like that my tears begin to slow along with my sobbing as I continue to talk nearing the end.
“I hear my mom yell something in anger and charges. She lowers her head and as soon as she did that I saw something shoot out of her horn. Its a deep black with a mixture of green. As I saw that shoot from her horn and hit....Discord he just....screamed in pain. I think........I think I saw so much blood......then he fell. I saw my father stand up from the ground with the help of my mother. My father took his hand away from his face and I saw the wound he had. The wound looked like a lightning bolt had hit him.....it looked so painful for him...but my mother used some kind of magic and it seemed to have helped him as he let out a sigh. Then they both looked at me a small smile forming on their faces. I again raised my hoofs into the air at them and somehow....was laughing happily.”
My tears finally came to a stop and my sobbing was now completely gone as I ended what I now knew certainly was a memory. I rubbed my eyes with my left foreleg sniffling a little. I opened my eyes and looked to my right to where Twilight was sitting. She seemed to have tears in her eyes a faint smile on her face. Then out of nowhere she just pulled me into a tight hug. I didn't try to get away....in fact I welcomed it greatly. I wrapped my forelegs around her tightly as we just held one another. I knew then that there really was another pony who carred for me deeply.
