I haven't given up hope...yet... sorry that this chapter is most likely bad, but I haven't been feeling well lately and my parents won't shut up. But some people have hope in me...for now...Thanks to SuperPinkBrony12 for the idea of the nightmare...I thank Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Silent Hill, and The Exorcist for the face...
____________________________________________________________
Today was my first real day in my own room. Daddy told me I was happy as ever about it. It was late though now...10:00 p.m. actually. It was time for sleep. I would never tell anyone this, but I was actually a little nervous about sleeping on my own. I've never slept in a room without Daddy. I looked at the bed in front of me. I was tired. Daddy had tucked me in 30 minutes ago, but I was a little to energetic to go to bed. But now i was already tired...I crawled my way under the covers over the bed and got comfortable. Tomorrow would be a good day and tonight will be a good night.
I was in that same position trying to go to sleep for the next 30 minutes. I guess I was a little more restless than I thought. I looked at the wall right next to the bed. I don't know what made me remember it...but in my head I saw the face I had seen...a year ago was it? The green skin...the stretched jaw...the distorted head...the scratched and blood. I cringed just thinking about it. Why am I thinking about this? I hated that face. It caused me a day and night of misery. I just closed my eyes again and thought of whatever came to mind...other than that darn face of course...
I fell asleep around 30 minutes later. In my dreams I was happy. For now...I was flying through the sky on my wings. That was something I dreamed about a lot of times. Halfway through...the dream changed. I was underwater...I started out just below the surface of it. The was happy to be in the ocean. It did look really cool. I looked at the shoreline and saw Daddy watching me. I smiled to myself. I was enjoying this.
That all changed when something happened. The area changed. I looked all around and I saw nothing but ocean. The sky had also changed. It was night. No stars. Just the moon and its light. I looked below me. The water was a dark blue color. Beneath me was a large crack in the ocean floor. It was miles long and wide. To me it was almost...endlessly deep. I was sinking. I just realized it. I was now a good 10 feet underwater. I couldn't hold my breath that long. I just kept going deeper and deeper into the ocean. My lungs were burning...my eyes were teary. I wanted to shout one I went passed the large rip in the ocean floor. I looked up. The crack was a large hundred feet away. There was blackness all around me. I heard a noise to my side. That face was next to me...It seemed to glow with whatever color it was. The bandages around its head were gray. The green skin glowed brightly. The bloody hung jaw glowed red.
I felt my breath run out. I screamed. Or tried to. I woke up right then in my bed. It was pitch black in my room. My lights were off and the moonlight wasn't shining through my window. I couldn't fall asleep again now. I was facing the wall. I was scared to turn around. It was stupid but...I didn't want to see whatever it was that was in my dream. I wanted my light to be on...but that meant getting up. Could I even reach the switch? Only one way to find out. I walked down onto the floor. The underside of my bed was really similar to the abyss. I walked over to the wall and looked at the switch. It was easily out of my reach. I didn't want to make it back to the bed. Maybe Daddy was awake. I walked into the hallway. It was really dark in here. The moonlight didn't make it any better. It just shone off of the dust in the air in rays that lead to the floor. I walked in front of the room Daddy said he would be sleeping in. He left the door open slightly. I nudged it open and looked at Daddy's bed. He was asleep.
Would he mind if I fell asleep with him tonight? I doubt it. It would just be for tonight anyway. I jumped my way onto the bed. Being careful not to wake him up. I set myself down next to his arm and took a deep breath. Falling asleep was easier with Daddy nearby. It felt like nothing could get me for once. I closed my eyes and fell asleep within the hour.

Probably a bad chapter...oh well. I'm sick, my parents are fighting, and I'm insulted at school. Honestly, this is one fo the few things I have to live for...kind of saddening...Thanks for reading so far.
Oh, the dreaded return of the face...
Did Dad ever ask Dashie about her friends in the original? She might've had some tiny, hidden fragment of memories {Doctor Who style fragments anyway [see the episode of the wedding (not the Doctor's) in the 11th Doctor's series to see what I mean.]}
1007046 Not that I remember. She had no recollection about her memories in the slightest. She learned about ti once she saw a re run of the episode Sonic Rainboom.
Hurray! An update! I still love this story, and it definatly wasn't a bad chapter it was definatly cute though! This made my day keep up the great work
1007067 But wasn't she given some sort of memory spell ? Doesn't that mean that MLD's Rainbow's memories were either fabricated or they were locked away in some part of her mind?
1007100 Now even I'm lost... Okay, When the main character found Dashie there was no memory spell. She was turned into a filly. To her it was as if her life before that moment never happened. It's not that they were sealed away...to her they never existed. When Celestia came she erased all existence of her including the memories. It is not explained what happened to them after that. Although I wish there was one.
1007168 Damn... I must've confused the memory spell with another fic I was reading two hours ago. Now, if that were the case, (I was thinking of an idea for a new chapter) he could've asked her something and she would've responded with a name (of course, she wouldn't know where it came from but she just said it for no apparent reason.) I remember now, wasn't a fic but a game, IB to be exact (was on youtube so I downloaded it and yes, it's free so I didn't steal it.) Also, she would've had to gain her memories back somehow after returning to Equestria, just a thought.
1007205 Are you implying for me to make my own sequel to MLD? I like the idea though. I'll read over the original MLD and see if if I can. I'm curious about that game now. Personally I have no negative emotions towards stealing a game, so no need to say if you did or not. The idea is good though! You might want to try writing the story yourself.
1007294 Yes she is! To me at least...
1007298 I'm utter crap at writing stories. Plus, it's too mainstream *coughs*. JK but i'm doing a re-write of Phantom of the Opera with pure OC's and just little teases of the mane 6 (and a certain azure unicorn.) But I might scrap the idea since it replaces very few words and I added a bit of Dialogue and descriptions added of scenes.
1007371 Hey, the idea's a good one. Plus, sometimes bad stories are the ones that get popular. I spend 1 hour writing a story while I'm half asleep and I get 42 thumbs up within a day...I spend days trying to get each chapter to an okay level on this story and not many people read it anymore. I wrote a story that made 2 friends cry and the others enjoyed it a lot. I post it on here and people hate it since there are big words and it is to emotional...sometimes I hate moments like those.
Wait a minute. An update that actually continues the fic's plot?!?!
Nice chapter dude! And i like the amnesia reference. I hope you didn't suffer heart-attacks while playing that game like i did lol, i tell u, that is one game that will smash your sanity to fibers win u all of a sudden hear a loud bang or the chase signal and u start running trying to get away looking for a place to hide... *shudders* it's so scary, yet so addicting!
1007392 "big words" Do you have Amnesia? If you do, try The Small Horse mod.
1008134 I was on the livestream that EqD had mentioned for Steam games and the person who had won Amnesia decided to give back the game because he already had it. One of the Stream's mods said "He already has 'the stain.'"
1008423 I already played and beat it. The only game I'm focused on is minecraft
Glad to see you're back in this!
Poor Dashie.
Awesome chapter, as always. I do wonder where she had seen that face before.
Anyways, I don't really like screamers and the like, so I won't probably play Amnesia anytime soon. I do like how you had the nightmare keep changing, as many people forget that and just have dreams staying to one setting in their fic's.
1011524 It was mainly faced off of my fear of deep ocean water. I would be terrified if I was stuck over an abyss in the middle of the ocean...no one around and the water is pitch black. Drowning in it would be worse.
if your being insulted at school show them your hand can be formed into a fist and you can use that fist and your foot and leg TO BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUTTA THEM!!! while playing the song on your knee's by jeff william's
