//------------------------------// // Nightmare Begins // Story: A Human's Guide To Equestria // by Hidden_Blade_Attack //------------------------------// I slowly lift my head from the pillow. A slight accumulation of saliva has formed. I must have dozed off. I slowly get up, I feel very tired as I stretch my muscles, I was probably out for an hour or two. Riley was sitting at the door. Either he had to out or something was up... Or both. I slowly made my way over to the door. I took a deep breath. I had to make this right. I opened the door and froze, even Riley didn't bark. There were hundreds of soldiers with full golden armor. They all were armed spears and swords that I had no idea how they could use it. But they were all there with some serious and some scared faces. I saw the main six standing near. I now fully understood my mistake now. I slowly rub my eyes hoping to erase the scene but it stayed there. So I clapped my hands together and took a deep breath. "Well, hi, everybody, er pony. I um-*" I was interrupted by Twilight. "Come forward with your, uh, appendages up! And surrender!" She ordered. "No! Listen to me!" They readjusted their spears at me fully. "I am peaceful, I wish no harm onto any!" I yell for them to hear. "How can you be trusted?" Rainbow asked flying closer to me. "You flung me to the ground pretty easily." "We have to contain it, it's too dangerous with it's invulnerability to magic." I could tell Twilight was speaking to the guards but I had a say! "You can't just cage me like an animal!" I said astonished. My voice cracked a little near the end, I was getting kind of worked up. "Just accept your fate!" Dash yelled down at me. Those words echoed in my head. My fate? Was this truly my fate? Was I to be caged and locked away due to my differences like some alien? "I took you ponies for something else!" I yelled at them they back away still spears pointed. "But your no different from my kind, judging things on how they look. For shame!" I continue on. I walked closer to them and they backed away a bit more. "You think I'll just sit back and let this happen!?" I came right up to a terrified soldier who awkwardly pointed the spear at me. I took his spear and broke it on my knee. And then I walked back to my door way. "Come at me bro!" I yelled before slamming the door. It was hours, nothing had happened, I'm pretty sure they left guards surrounding my house. I wasn't going anywhere. I jumped into my bed and stared at my ceiling. I was getting hungry as it was past lunch time but there was no food for me to eat. I don't know what to do now. My greatest dream has turned into my worse nightmare. The rest of the day was mostly me sitting in my room, playing on DS with whatever power it had as there was no power in my house anymore. I don't know exactly how it works, there was power earlier, I don't care. I just want to go home. I had enough of this. Then Riley started getting uneasy and trotting back and forth. "What is it boy?" He responded by sniffing my hand. I then smelt something, something burning. I went down stairs only to see fire raging through out the living room and kitchen. Crap they're trying to burn me to death! I ran back upstairs and grabbed a back pack. I packed my laptop, some clothing, some books, and practically everything from my shelves. I started coughing from the fumes and Riley was whimpering. I wasn't dying so fast. I ripped open my windows and ordered Riley onto the roof, I jumped out onto the roof only to be bombarded by spears. They drove into the roof all around me with a 'twong'. It was night and I couldn't pinpoint there origin so I ran across the roof, how was I going to get down. I looked down to the ground, not that far- then I felt a shock of pain through my body. A spear was cutting through my leg. I quickly clenched my teeth and pulled it out, I screamed in pain and Riley began growling. "Stop! I'm good!" I yelled as blood began gushing from my leg. I sat down and fought back the tears from the pain as Riley sniffed my leg. "Surrender now!" I heard a voice call out. I heard a crack and the roof beneath me broke from the fire weakening it. I fell backwards into the hole and fell into the heat and scratches... All of a sudden I'm staring down on myself, except I'm 13 and I'm in a school yard. Two other people are pushing me around. This is when I revealed to people that I'm a brony. They punched me and laughed at me. But I never shook, I kept my passion. 'You idiot, no one likes you' one said. 'Yeah, you twit!' The other yelled 'At least I'm not two stupid morons with low self esteem!' I retorted. That made them real angry and begin beating me harder. How dare they do that to me because I'm different. That's a reason why I liked MLP, they are accepting and nice, well I thought so. It turns out there no different from those bullies, well like then I'm standing up for myself, but unlike then, I'll come out on top!
