Opening ~ The Watch

I heard the soft tap-tap of hoof-steps as the two made their way back into the room.
"Hey again, guys." I said, turning to loo at them. I've only known them for a few hours, but I think I can trust them.
"Ah, Galaxy, hello again." The Doctor said, sitting down at the table again. He took a small sip of the coffee I had tried to make for him. I suppose I should be pleased with myself. He hadn't spit any of it out.
He looked up, and suddenly I felt an aura of seriousness fall over the room.
"Galaxy, do you own any watches, perhaps?"
I looked up. This was an odd question. Why would he care If I owned a watch?
"Well, yeah, actually. I keep one in my mane all the time. I don't see the point of a watch wrapped around your hoof..."
I pulled out an old fob watch, examining it. Why is it so hard to see? Like I'm looking through it...
"Can you open it?"
"Well, It's been broken for awhile now. I doubt it works anyways..."
"Could you try?"
I looked up at the stallion, seeing a glimmer of hope flash in his eyes. He looked...Old.
"...Alright....Fine.."
I looked down at the watch, igniting my horn with a darker green hue, trying to wrap my levitation magic
around the cool, metal surface of the watch. My magic finally touched the object, and it canceled out.
Blinking in confusion, I lighted my horn again. I failed to levitate the simple watch.
"Hmm..."
I picked the watch up in my hooves, seeing the strange writing on the back. I blinked, then clicked the button on the top, and,
to my surprise, the watch snapped open.
For a moment, nothing happened.
Then a flash of burning light struck me in the chest, and things flooded back to me....

"Don't touch it! It'll kill you!"
"EXTERMINATE!!!"
"Agh!"

"DELETE!! DELETE!!!"
"No! Get back! Get away from my sister, you bucking metal freaks!"

FWWWWWWWWWOOOOSHHHH!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh...my..Are you alright? Galaxy, can you hear me?"
"Doctor, I think she's waking up...."
"Galaxy? Hello? Galaxy?"
.....
I arose from the floor, smiling sarcastically.
"Ah, hello again, everypony! I'm," I said with an excessively happy tone. "The Unseen."
...It faded into black...
...Again...
