You know... One thing I haven't done for a story yet..
Begin!
Walking along, not having a care in the world, just thinking about...
Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all.
I love walking along these rural, and sometimes, industrial roads... Just me and the stars... Sharing our thought between every step I take. Even if I was a bit poor... I made sure everything was just right.
"Oh how wonderful it is..."
It was nice... And fine... Just me... And...
...
Okay... Here we go...
There it is again. Almost every night, since I was... I don't know...
The name I was stuck with... Was Jossten. In fact, I... Was named that by my parents... But I don't know who my parents were... I just knew enough to know I had a mother, but that was all. I'm currently 17, and have no idea what my purpose is in life...
My mother... Well... I don't...
I don't have a mother. At least, not that I know of...
Who she was, I didn't know. But I still felt like I was underwatch. Maybe I'm just a labratory experiment like in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now I know how Picard felt. How he felt, I feel now. Like there's a door, but nothing on the other side of the door. Even if you were to escape, they would just put you right back.
Like under a microscope. I looked at the time, and it said 8:53.
"God... I am so sick and tired of... Ahhh..." I moaned pain as I winced and fell to the ground.
"No... Not again..." I said while feeling a memory flashback in my mind...
"So how did you do today?" She asked.
"Eh. Could of done better, but my biology is a bit difficult, so I didn't progress towards much of that." I said to her.
"Oh... Well, I know you tried your best anyway." She said to me. I couldn't get a clear look at her face... It was blurred... But I knew it to be a white figure... A short, white figure.
"Hhhh... I just love it when the weather is like this, don't you?" I said to her as I looked out across the land.
"Mhm..." She breathed while coming behind me and hugging my waist.
"I love you..." She said while planting a kiss on my head.
"I love you too... Mother..."
End...
"Grr... Hah... Hhhhh..." I panted as I lay on the ground with the most severe of headaches.
But who was she? I didn't know anyone who was like that. I just... Don't... I don't get it.
I still didn't know who she was. And... Why was she white?
I sat up and, I began limping along the road, when I opened my eyes to see the edge of the clif, and losing my balance. As I fell, and hit my head on a rock, and passed out...
Or even died...
"Wha...?" I said while looking around the green, warm, grassy hillside which accompanied me to my destination.
"But where am I?" I asked myself.
I saw nothing but a rural, dirt road which sliced down between the center of the gently sloped hills. I looked to see the grassy hills go into a town... An old town...
I walked to the town, and in front of it, before concluding it was full of multi-colored, cartoonish ponies. Both Unicorn, and Pegasi. And even ones who I knew as just ponies. Earth ponies, I guess.
...
But they seemed to know a language which I was familiar with.
English. Of course, I denied my mind of this thought, when they kept talking, on and on, until I finally accepted the thought.
They didn't seem to notice me, until I began, to slowly walk forward and they stopped with a most curious and slightly shocked look, which they began to murmur amongst themselves.
"What is that?"
"Is that a hairless monkey?"
One though, came right out of the crowd and walked up to me.
"A human?" It said to me. It was a aquamarine pony, with a mane and tail of the same color, with white stripes through it.
"Um... Hello." I waved to them and smiled a bit.
"You can talk?"
"Yes... I... don't want to alarm you... But I... Have much to do."
"Oh no, please don't leave. I've always wanted to meet a human. Do you have to go?"
I looked at her, and the other ponies, and looked back. A forest, and that was it. Maybe... It was my way back? Maybe that forest has something to do with my appearance here... Maybe...
"Spike, send a letter to Princess Celestia. Now." I heard one say. A lavender one.
Great. She alerted the high rulers. Well I'm screwed. Gotta go!
I wore a black button-up shirt, which was black. I have emerald green eyes as a color for them, and I wear dark navy blue jeans. and black dress shoes. With dark blond, short hair. Which I respectively grew to be 6' 6" tall. I hoped my dress shoes were okay.
Which were probably getting dusty. I looked down. No? I looked back up, and then towards the forest. I began to back up slowly, when the pony began to give me a 'please don't leave look'.
I wasn't even supposed to be here!
"Oh come on, please?"
"No... J-Just leave me alone."
"And I know that creature to be a human. Signed, Twilight Sparkle." I heard one say to the small purple dragon that seemed to be taking note of what she said.
Ok. I've got about five minutes to make it from here to the forest. I can do it...
I began walking back never taking my eyes off the them, until I saw a small carriage in the sky.
Well, that's them. I'm screwed. Again.
I began feeling my heart, no... My soul, saying something to me, like... I shouldn't run away.
I started my mile-long sprint towards the forest, as some of the ponies began to follow. But just walking. About... I don't know. I guess they wanted to know who and what I was for themselves.
But the carriage had stopped at the town, and then a pony, larger than most others, one with both a large horn, and accompanied by wings.
Interesting... I had almost made it, when I stopped myself to look.
Now, I expected her just to use the carriage. But she must have insisted of running for her self...
But why?
I just stood there. Like I was waiting for... Her. I faintly heard a voice, probably hers, that snapped me out of my dazed trance, and I bolted into the forest. I made it in there, and proceeded to run, when I tripped on a rock, and hit my head on yet another rock, but was only dazed.
Consider it like the effect of a flashbang.
My vision, was now blurry, and wobbly, as I got back up, panting ever so fast. I looked at my hands, now covered in blood. I heard something behind me, before hearing the voice again, and rustling of the bushes. I felt a huge pain in my side, and shoulder, when I looked back.
Wolves. But not ordinary wolves. Wolves consisting of timber.
"GRAAAAH!" I screamed as I pulled them off, taking flesh with them. I felt blood pool on the ground out of my left side, where I put a hand over to cup the wound from any blood spilling out at all
I saw the figure, or pony. But then a name came to mind. Alicorn. I don't know where I heard that, but I insisted on running still.
"No please! Wait!" It said. It must have recognized me.
No... I... Cannot be caught... Whatever the cost...
I ran, even over some wolves, and looked back once again, as the wolves scattered when they saw the being.
I was about to make it to the dense part of the forest, when I tripped on a branch, and fell to the ground. Now the being was angry. Well... Either that or... She was crying.
"Don't fear me... Please... You know who I am, remember?" She said to me while approaching at a slow, but steady pace.
Do I... Do I remember? A white figure...
Hoping she would leave me alone, I dove even further into the forest, but tripped again on shubbery.
"Please... Don't try to run... It will only hurt you more." She said. Why did she care for me at any rate? Why? Did I represent some... Importance to her? To them? I did not know...
"Yes... You do remember, don't you?" She said while she got a shocked look on her face. I didn't reply, but only by getting up to a tree and backing up to it.
"Here, let me get you medical help." She said while I backed up even farther to the tree, my back hitting it.
I pulled out my chrome .357 Magnum, with a black handle, and shakily pointing it at the figure.
"Please... Jossten... I know you remember... Please..." She said.
But how did she know my name? Did sh... SHE WAS THE ONE WATCHING ME... I KNOW IT TO BE HER...
It... Has to... But... I have only guesses...
She walke forward some more, before I pulled the hammer back and placed my finger on the trigger. My vision was blurry, and wobbly. I didn't even know if I was pointing my personal defense weapon towards her. I lowered the gun, and wiped the blood from my face, when...
My breathing began to sound more and more louder, as I began to pass out from exhaustion.
No... Just... A while... Lon... ger...
"Hhhhh..." I exhaled as I blacked out...
Some time later...
"Hhhh... What happened?" I said while I gripped the blankets around me. Must've been some dream... But... This setting doesn't feel the same...
I opened my eyes to see a floor of fancy engraving, and a ceiling worthy above 100 feet high.
No... NO!
"Oh no... Please tell me this isn't real!" I whispered while panicking. Though... I felt clean. I looked at myself, and felt around. I realized that I had nothing but my underclothes. I found my clothes in a neat pile near the nightstand next to me.
I even found my Fedora hat.
Oh... Well that's good. I spent good money on that.
I put on my shirt, blue jeans, and my shoes, along with my fedora hat.
I looked in the mirror, and found my stomach to house a huge bandage, along with my shoulder. I looked around to find my holster, and my revolver, and I put them on.
I walked over to the bed, and I inspected it. It seemed... Too feminine. I looked up at the ceiling to see the sun, and a flash of colors that were blue, pink, green, and purple. A nice combination of colors.
I looked towards the window, and walked towards it. I opened it, and looked down, to see citizens bustling about down a few hundred feet. I sighed, and closed it. I walked towards the other room, and found myself at a balcony. Said balcony had a wonderful view of it's enviroment.
Interesting... This design compliments that of a castle...
I heard a few clicking sound near the door, and found myself caught. By her.
"Your awake..." She said, while alarming me of her presence.
"I thought you would never wake up!" She said while rushing over to me, but I dodged her and stepped to the side, staring at her.
She paused and breathed for a moment, before looking back with a confused look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
I didn't answer.
"Baby please. Talk to me." She said while I back away from her. I saw the exit, and I bolted for it. I didn't run but a few feet before my side began to hurt. I fell down, and my shoulder now began to hurt as well.
"Huhhh... Hihhh... Huhhh... Hohhh..." I panted as I tried to get up from my fall and falling down again.
"Please... Don't try to move, you'll increase the pain." She said while tending to my needs.
She felt like my mother. Except, not. My mother wasn't an abducting pony with outrageous ideas of being my friend or relative.
"Hnnng..." I grunted while trying to set myself free of her grasp.
"Sh sh sh sh shhhh... It's alright now... I'm here..." She said while hugging my body.
I ended up finding myself back on the soft, plushy bed, but this time, with company.
"There we go... All better?"
I felt a wave of security wash over me at that instant, as I rolled over and embraced the soft, pillow-like body in front of me. I burrowed my head in her chest, as I literally snuggled her for warmth.
Why I was doing this, I have no idea. But... I felt at home. I felt secure. I felt...
Like when I felt when my mother was around.
I just did this because I thought it was for the better of my future... And maybe it was. But how was I to know she was my mother?
Should I even understand the existence of my mother? Is this why my mother was hidden from me? Is this why... I've been so lonely?
"Would you like anything?"
I just looked up.
"Hm?"
I shook my head at her. I didn 't need anything, but I wanted freedom. I broke free of her tried to grasp why I snuggled her, why I felt so comfortable around her.
"Jossten? Where are you going?"
I didn't answer her.
"Jossten, you shouldn't walk, not in your condition."
"Like I care. I can survive." I wrote on the notepad on the nightstand. But I couldn't. Not without her help... And she knew it.
"Like you care? I care. I care about you." She said angrily.
"Don't you see? Fate brought you back to me. I know you can feel it... Can't you?" She said again, but a voice that is kind and gentle.
Many different things and thought and feelings buzzed around my mind. But one this was definate. I could feel my soul... It felt... A peace around her. When she wasn't, I felt alone.
You could even say isolated.
"Yes... You do feel it..." She smiled while looking into my eyes. I looked into hers, and could almost see a spark from my eyes in the reflection. I groaned for a moment, and shook my and held it for a moment.
"Can you deny it? The feelings? The pain of being alone? The comfort of my presence here? It is not merely coincidence... You belong here. With you in my arms..." She said to me as a smile was adorn on her muzzle through what she said to me.
She approached me, from which I countered by moving back a few steps.
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? My name is... My name is... M-My name isn't important."
"Yes it is. Tell me now, or I abandon this place. For good. I don't know who you are, what, you are, how you consider me, what this place is, and most importantly, you aren't telling me anything. The least I can say, is leave me alone."
"But don't you understand? I can't leave you alone!" She pleaded.
"Or maybe I should help you leave me alone." I wrote while pulling out my .357 Magnum and pointing it at her head.
"Jossten... I know you can't pull the trigger."
How does she know what a trigger is?
"You can't pull it. I won't allow you." She crooned with her soft, gentle voice, lulling me towards the state of rest.
Of course, who wants to die? Gotta death wish?
"I won't let you pull it." She said while putting it down into my holster. Every movement, helping me along this difficult path of trusting her.
"Please say something darling... For me... Let me hear your beautiful voice again..."
"Tia?" I asked slowly.
"Yes! You do remember!" She whispered while tears flowed down her face.
"Are you... Tia? The one from my thoughts and dreams?" I asked.
"Yes... I am... Your voice has not changed one bit since I last saw you..." She said while carressing my face with her right hoof.
"How can it be... You?"
"Because... I am... I... I cannot say." She looked down.
"Why?"
"Because... I don't want you to take what I say wrongly. I don't want it to hurt you." She said.
What could that bad?
"Tell me. I am ready." I said to her.
She looked back up, and said "Jossten... I am your mother." She whispered while holding my face with her right hoof.
"Nrg." I grunted as I stumbled back and fell to the ground. I felt so wrong now. Like I everything I have ever believed about this being wasn't right.
I suddenly felt much pain in my breastbone area, and began to lose control of my eyesight. I then passed out of grotesquely amounts pain and nausea...
From Tia's way of looking at it...
"Jossten! What's wrong! Baby please! What's wrong!" I kneeled by him. I felt for a pulse, and couldn't get a reading. I felt for his heart, and heard it going, when it suddenly... Just...
It ceased. This confirmed my utterworst nightmares...
He...
Had passed on...
