Hey everyone, sorry for the delay on chapters, been a bit busy with school, but without further a due... lets get started!
Chapter 28: A nightmare is coming
As I walked home I felt the feeling of being watched slowly increase. I tried my best to ignore it but a ringing in my ears began getting louder and louder. Soon I could start hearing faint screams getting louder that seemed to echo through my thoughts. I just kept walking. The sound began to reach a point where it became unbearable.... until a figure stepped forward from nowhere...
"CJ? A-Are you OK?" Said a timid voice.
I looked to my left and standing there on the path with me was Fluttershy. I looked forward and the figure was gone. I was standing in front of my house door. I turned back to Fluttershy and put on a semi-convincing smile.
"Y-Ya... I'm OK Shy..."
"W-Well... I saw y-you just standing here, I-I thought you would open it. But y-you j-just stood there for a f-few m-minutes s-staring..." She looked pretty scared.
I bent down and pulled her in a hug.
"Sorry Shy, I didn't mean to scare you... I... I just had a few things on my mind..." Somewhere in my thoughts I hear a VERY faint chuckle.
Fluttershy looked back to me and gave a slow nod. We slowly broke the hug and I made my way to the door.
"Hey Shy, do you want to pick up Scoots from the school today... or should I?"
Fluttershy thought for a moment and looked back at me with a smile.
"I could pick her up CJ, maybe we can also do something around Ponyville, maybe with her friends if they want to as well."
I nodded and said my goodbye's. I walked to the door and went inside.
'Hm.... what to do.... maybe I should get ready for work....'
I made my way to my room to get ready when I saw a note. I picked it up and read it.
Dear CJ
I have sent this letter to inform you that today has been very slow. We have gotten very little business today so you can have the day off. Have fun!
P.S. I heard you have adopted Scootaloo, I hope she can have a nice childhood now, you have no idea how much you must mean to her. Tell her I said Hi!
Your Friend;
Ditzy
I gave a small smiled and then a frown.
'Yay no work today... Boo I'm bored now...'
I decided to head to the library, maybe I could get a nice book. I finally arrived at the library and knocked. It was magically opened and I saw Twilight sitting down under.... piles of books...
"This is a public library you know... these books don't all belong to me..." She said to the visitor.
"Sorry but it sure seems like they do..." I said looking at all the books she has around her and is reading at the same time.
She looks up to me and gives a small blush. She levitates all of them up except for a few and puts them on the shelf. She turns back to me and blushes even more.
"I was just coming here to see if I could find a good book... any suggestions?"
She thought for a moment and they levitated me a book while.... blushing deeper....
'Why does she keep do- OH! Right... the kiss...'
I took the book and looked it over.
'Equestrian holidays and celebrations... why this one?'
I looked up about to ask before she began to speak.
"I think you may need that... after all you came from a different world... they may have had different holidays as well. Plus nightmare night is coming up in about a week."
'Nightmare night?' I thought as I opened the book and stopped at the right holiday.
I scanned it over and found it is almost identical to Halloween. Only thing is they are scared of Nightmare moon, not of undead spirits and whatnot.
"A week huh? Hm... that gives me an idea... but on a side note, do you have anything else you think I may be interested in? Like as 'Fun' reading material?"
She thought for another moment and handed me a different book. I looked this one over before laughing a bit to my self, luckily she didn't notice. It was one of the Daring Doo books. Called 'Daring Doo V.S. the Shadow Archers' I flipped the book upside down and read a bit of the back cover.
Join Daring Doo as she fights some of Equestria's most talented and dangerous enemies. Join her ans she fights shadow enemies that seem near invincible... all is well until she takes an arrow to the...
'.................. DIS GUN BE GUD'
I smiled like an idiot and turned back to Twilight.
"Thanks Twi, I'll see you later!" Twilight just nodded and waved.
I made it outside with the two books and began walking back home. On my way there I pull out my I-Pod and hit shuffle. After listening to music for about 10 minutes I made it to my house. I opened the door and sat down in the living room couch. I placed the holiday stoofs book on a end table. I relaxed myself and opened the Daring Doo book. Before I could get five words in I felt something cold strike the back of my neck sending the hairs straight up. I turned and saw nothing. I relaxed a bit more and tried to start more reading. This time I felt it again but it was a bit colder. I looked again... nothing. I turned back around and infront of the couch... standing straight up was.... me? It stared back at me with an evil grin before I saw it flicker once into shadow then back to normal. It was him again...
"How nice to meet you again... this time however... I am a lot stronger... and I brought a friend along..."
Another figure forms next to the first and takes the shape of a half man half horse being holding a blade staff...
"Happy to be here Zane" Said the figure.
"I'm glad you kept my spot for me... I am here to take it back... we can do this the hard way... or the painfully hard way. Either way is enjoyable by me... Don't you think Hecarim?" Said Zane.
"Heheh... indeed..."
Then everything went black.
So? What did you all think? Let me know in the comments! ___---IMPORTANT---___ From now on... until said otherwise... CJ's thoughts are still shown as Italics with ' on the ends, Zanes speaking is represented as italics with " at the ends, and Hecarim is represented with Italic bold text with " on the ends. Example below!
CJ: 'CJs thoughts'
Zane: "Zane speaking"
Hecarim: "Hecarim speaking"
Lol, what a cliffhanger! bastard anyways, I can't wait to we what happens to our protagonist next!
O great, now they only need a drummer and they can start a band. Their first song? : "Help me, help me, this demons are trying to kill me"
lol and that is way nopony underestimates ponyville
Hecarim the shadow of war? If this plays out how I think it will this will be very amusing.
1601926 :D
please continue your story, since the begging you keep showing us this wear shadows things, and now CJ has Celestia power? Things are getting very interesting for you to just walk away now. specially with the constant SPOILER that the demons keep taking about.
Beside, I still want to see the conclusion of what is happening, why Shy is mad, how did he and Twi will resolve the whole kiss, if there is going to be more mares chasing him…there is a lot of question that I still want to now the answer.
Also I want to see, what you have plan for Nightmare Night, so, please, please don't abandon your story, is always sad to see something good, just stop and banish.
P.S: Just a suggestion but now that i mention that he has Celestial power and I bet has a little more, because the whole swap brains, why don't make a little joke with that? For example side effects:
Before the sun rise, CJ is looking over his window, while Shy approach him "CJ? Are you ok? Why, are looking at the sky?" "I don't now honey, but for some reason, I have this urgent need to raise the sun He lift his hand that start glowing and the sun appear. Meanwhile in the castle Celestia is still sleeping when the sun show in her face Owww, 5 more minutes She turns and try to sleep some more, before getting up in complete shock.
1605760 hm... you are quite right... maybe I will give it more chance... maybe it will get a bit more popular! but on another note, I made it so Cj had a little troll brought back with him with celestia... and yes... maybe... other things....
