The Girl Who Followed a Ghost

by GhostlyDarkness


Fighting With Yourself

A strange noise echoed through the darkness to jolt Ghost awake from his seep. It was pitch black he couldn't see anything past his own nose. The sound echoed again sounding closer than before.

"What's that sound?" he said softly rubbing his eyes. He looked around and noticed he couldn't find Onyx anywhere.
"Onyx?" he called out hoping to hear her soft voice answer.

"She's not here," a voice answered him from behind.

He turned around to see a mirror image of himself approaching him. Yet there were some differences this doppelganger had. It's coat was pure black with silver slit pupils that pierced right through him. It's hair was a white silver color and was significantly longer and shaggier.

"Who or what are you?" Ghost growled at him.

The other him smirked and showed the sharp fangs he had. "Why I'm you of course," he said coming closer to Ghost. "Although you can call me Nightmare, I absolutely despise the name Ghost," he said with a disgusted look.

Ghost backed up as Nightmare kept coming closer, "there's no way you're me," he said looking ready to fight. He was ready to draw his sword, but noticed it wasn't at his side. He looked back up to see Princess Celestia walking slowly around him looking at him with an devilish grin.

"Luna's never coming back just face it, if I didn't want her gone why would I have banished her?" she said wickedly.

Ghost shook his head and closed his eyes trying to ignore her remark. The room went quiet until a familiar voice broke the silence. He opened his eyes to see a horrific sight, Onyx laying in pool of blood with slash marks across her stomach.

"Ghost, why did you do this to me? Why would you hurt me?" she said softly with a whimpering voice.

"No, no, no! Onyx please! Im sorry!" he said huddling around her bleeding body. He began crying and shaking his head vigorously.

"Why did you do this to me? Why?" another voice said in a moan.

Ghost looked up to see Luna, but her eyes were gashed out with blood dripping from them. Her wings were badly mangled where some of the bones would poke through the skin.

"Why would you do this to me?" she repeated.

Ghost looked terrified looking at them with tears dripping down his face. He then heard Nightmare again.
"We are the same, I am a part of you, I will always be there, I am you," he said in evilly.

Ghost lunged up awake breathing heavily,he looked over at his side to see Onyx sleeping peacefully.

"It was a dream?" he asked himself. He calmed down, "I hope this was just a passing nightmare," he said softly. He looked back at Onyx before nudging her closer to him.

"You're safe at least," he said with smile before looking up at the dark sky. "I hope you're alright too..."
