In my sleep, I know I am sleeping, but I cant control what is happening.
I stood in an unfamiliar room, I took a look around me trying to find any exits. Nothing. The room is just an empty bland stone box. The walls are a solid grey stone, not a single crack is visible throughout the entire room. Blank and empty. I tried to break free, I tried to imagine something else. To be free, out in the woods, anything! I felt the walls slowly close in on me. The rooms was shrinking, I jammed my foot against a wall and pushed as hard as I could. The wall just kept pushing on.
I gave up and sat in the center of the room and waited. I closed my eyes and waited for the walls to close in on me. The sound of the stone walls scraping against the stone floor grew louder. Louder.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, the sound of the walls closing were silenced. I opened my eyes and looked at the hand on my shoulder. The mint green colored hand. I looked up for the owner, none other than Lyra. She looked at me, her gentle smile told me she meant no harm. The tears that welled up in her eyes showed me she cared. Yet, I felt indifference for her. She didn't matter to me. She. Meant. Nothing.
I pulled her hand away from me, her smile turned into a frown. Lyra turned away from me, her image quickly faded out and the walls resumed closing in on me. The walls were once again stopped, but instead of me or my imagination halting them, it was a voice.
"STOP!" The voice bellowed out, feminine yet incredibly loud. The walls were immediately replaced by black and empty space.
"Wh-what?" I stuttered out.
"We have watched you for some time now." The same voice but, instead of loud and forceful it was now soft and motherly. I looked around for the source of the voice. Nothing.
A small light flooded the dark and lonely space that surrounded me. I looked towards it, the light slowly expanded and a woman came out, her ha-mane..err..whatever it was, it flowed and resembled the stars, it flowed and moved as if wind was blowing. She, unlike other anthros, had a tail as well. A tiny tiara glinted from her head. Royalty. Her coat a dark hue of blue.
"Who the fu-" I felt my voice become nothing, my lips were moving no sound came out.
The woman spoke to me. "If thou wish for thou to suffer continue on the way thou has taken." Medieval talk much? "If not then thy shall help thou." What was she talking about?
I moved my lips to speak but, once again no sound came out. I looked at her. Was she controlling my dream.
"Thy shall help, only because thou dreams saddens us." The star maned woman said. Us? What did she mean by that? "We shall leave, follow or not." The woman turned away and began to walk back into the light in which she came. I broke off into a sprint as I saw her meld into the light.
I stopped at the edge of the light. I tried to look into the bright light, but it was just like staring into the sun. I saw the light flicker and fade out. 'Your opportunity is leaving you behind.' A voice said in my head. I nodded, taking a breath and closed my eyes as I walked forward into the light.
"Good choice." Said the star maned woman from earlier.
. . .
My vision was filled with nothing but a bright light. Sunspots filled my sight and blinded me. I stood, blinking my eyes, waiting for my vision to return. After about three minutes my vision returned, what I saw made my eyes tear up. Images of my recent past. Spitfire and me smiling and laughing together, Bon-Bon in the background smiling with us, the tickle fight between Bonny and Spitball, it felt me with an odd feeling. More images, of me and Lyra this time, our short time we spent together. How Lyra offered me her hand to pick me up of the ground, how she cared for me when I was stricken by the Manticore, she sat at my side for a solid five hours, she didnt budge or ever fall out of rhythm. How she came from fearing me to..something more. I saw my own memories being played all around me. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. Lyra trusted me, why would she have betrayed me then?
I wiped away the tears that wanted to fall freely. Maybe it was an accident. A mistake. 'Or a plan.' I was pulled away from my thoughts as the star haired woman approached me.
"Thou has great potential." The woman told me. I looked up at her. I moved my lips to speak but again no words came out. "Shh, let us speak." I nodded my head. For once in my life, I needed to listen. "You have a destiny here, a greater purpose." She took a breath. "My sister is corrupt." Sister? Was this the woman of the night I heard so much about. I have heard many stories of Princess Celestia having a sister, many campfire stories were told, I of course over heard them when I hung out in the woods near towns. Luna, the sister of the day, Luna herself the sister of night.
"You're Luna?" The woman nodded.
"I am Luna, Princess of the night." She was using modern language now.
The images the surrounded me faded out and were replaced with pictures of the bitch that ruled. Celestia. "My sister has been losing her public image for quite some time now." Pictures of Celestia were hung around me, but they weren't like my memories, they were actual pictures, art, newspapers and fliers.
The magazines headlines were such as 'Celestia: Princess or Dictator?". Fliers had pictures of Celestia and under them was the caption. 'All hail our God!' I laughed out loud a bit. Artworks showed Celestia standing tall, a pile of bodies under her. Words were painted under the art. 'She lives forever while others are left behind.' I felt a pang of sympathy for Celestia, it lasted only a brief moment though.
'I wonder how many people left her behind?' I shook my head and looked at the images. Anthros were talking behind the princesse's back. "The citizens spread rumors of her latest mistake." Luna said.
An image of me running through Canterlot was shown. "You were her latest mistake." She told me. More artwork came. One was of me being shackled down, starved and bloody. The caption below it read. 'He was first, we are next.'
"Their terrified of her." I said. Luna nodded in agreement.
"They have every right to be, she had gotten out of control, she has pretty much turned the Royal Palace into a slave plantation."
"Why?" I asked Luna.
"She was really desperate to find you."
"Was?" I said questionably.
"Well right now she is trying to stop the uprising." I laughed when Luna finished her sentence.
"Celestia was her own downfall!" Luna shook her head.
"This has happened before, plenty of times, my sister will find a way to calm the citizens of Equestria and she will remain their leader." Luna sounded rather disappointed.
"Than what can we do to stop her?" I asked. If this has happened already, what could we do then?
"You are already doing your part." She said. And like that her image broke and vanished. I could feel a tugging at my side. "Our time is up for now, just remember to-" her voice was cut off.
. . .
I woke up to find Spitfire huddled against my side, she looked comfy it was almost cute. I turned to see Bon-Bon in the bed with us, but she wasn't as close to me like Spitfire was. Bon-Bon laid on the very edge completely uncovered by blankets, she shivered slightly and looked like she didn't belong in the room. Like she didn't fit in. I closed my eyes remembering how Bon-Bon was always in the background. Did she feel like that? Nothing but a background character? An unimportant piece in a greater picture.
I pulled Spitfire's arms off of me gently, trying my best not to disturb her sleep. As I managed to get the top half of my body I notice Spitfire's legs were over mine. Oh well all I needed was my top half to finish my plan.
I stretched out as far as I could with only my top half and reached over for Bonny, I wrapped my arms around her waist, I felt her take a quick sharp breath while my skin made contact with her fur. I pulled her in towards me and laid on my back.
"Wha-huh?" Bon-Bon said confused.
"Shh get under the blankets." I told her. She opened her mouth but I cut her off with a whisper. "You looked cold, come on just do it and shut up." I said. Bonny nodded and did her best to get under the blankets with me and Spitfire, granted it was awkward but she got in nome the less.
Bonny whispered something to me but I couldn't understand her. I shrugged and held her in one arm. So there I laid, one girl in ome arm, and another girl in the other. If I was attracted to anthros...things would have gone different but, no all we did was lay together and fall back asleep.
Oh and before I forget, I need to remind myself. Cuddling with anthros may be adorable furry and soft...but damn was it hot. It was like having two thick fur coats on me.
