When Abigale exprianced death after saving her younger sister; she was expecting to be put into a sleep and resuected by god when the time was right and what not.
Instead she found herself sitting in a room with a unicorn. Who happened to be sitting on a cushioned chair sipping tea from a floating tea cup. She looked around at the room's red walls with wood trim. A few ornimented plates sat on display on the walls. And behind the unicorn there was a chimney with a fire stoked within it. On the top of it were faded pictures she could not see since she didn't have glasses.
The unicorn itself was very strange. It was black fured with red eyes and she knew it shouldn't have been able to hold the newspaper with its hooves. She couldn't help but stare at this strange unicorn before her.
They sat there for a while as the poney sipped tea out of the floating tea cup. As she sat there she became more nervous and confused to the point she couldn't stand it. She was just about to ask the unicorn what was going on when it put the paper down on the table, closed its eyes, and sighed.
" Well this is interesting." It's voice was semi deep and masculine. It definately left no question to the unicorns gender anymore. He opened his red eyes and looked at her.
" Have you done this before?" She knew she should have been surprized that the unicorn could talk. In fact she should have been very expressive with her lack of experiance with all that he had done so far. Instead she found herself calm with his actions; but still very confused with the whole situation.
" What do you mean?" She asked hoping to find some answers. It was not exactly in her nature to be direct about questions. In fact she could remember many times where she had carefully thought out questions for her own favor.
" Have you crossed worlds before?" Thankfully he was blunt. But She didn't really understand the nature of the question. ' Crossed worlds'? she had never heard of the consept being used anywhere other than fanfiction. The question was a confusing one to her; but she found an answer that she at least could cry 'innosent' if he had another meaning behind it.
" Not that I've known of." He placed a hoof to his cheek and sighed. This was going to be harder than he thought.
" Well lets start off with how you got here. How did you die?" Abigale found herself feeling like she had been hit by a slege hammer in the head. How did she die? It was almost a lost cause for her to answer him since the event happened so fast.
" Well I remember I was saving my sister from a thug of some kind."
" Mhm." He picked up the news paper and held it in front of her.
" Can you read the headline on this news paper?" She leaned over and started reading the bold lettering.
" Both mother and daughter died catastrophically within train accident." Abigale felt kind of sad for the little girl if only because she didn't have very long time at life. He pulled the news paper away.
" Little do they know the girl is actually still alive."
" Really? But the paper says she died. How could she still be alive?"
" Her soul has passed on so there is still only moments before her body truly dies." He looks up at her with narrowed eyes.
" You are going to take her place." Abigale narrowed her own eyes and asked.
" Didn't I already die though? Isn't there some sort of rule against that or something?" The unicorn closed his red eyes and sighed.
" Boy do you need a refresher."He places the paper down on the coffee table in front of them and stood up on his hooves. He turned to leave the little area and Abigale could see he not only had wings; he also had a mark on his flank that instantly reminded her of a tv she watched in her last life. The mark was that of a black sythe that was held over and hour glass.
" Some time ago you died in your world, normally the laws of that world would keep you there; but apparently your some sort of incarnet that actually withstood that law and transfered over here."
" Lucky for you the little poney in that train accident can't die yet. So," Suddenly a phone rang and he pulled out a black cell phone from some place she couldn't see.
" Yea boss?" He listened in on the phone and he nodded after awhile. And then he frowned.
" I see, so that poney's not going to work." He was silent for awhile listening to the person on the other side of the phone.
" Ok. I'll do that. Bye." He closes the phone with a sigh.
" Unfortunately you can't take over the little girl anymore since she fully died moments ago." Abigale couldn't help but feel a little relief since she did not feel it was right for her to take over that little girls life. Infact she was a little happier knowing that their life ended as it was supposed to.
" Looks like you have to start over from scratch." He looked at her and sighed.
" Kids these days. Any particular request?"
" I have no idea of what your talking about."
" Where would you like to be born?" the first thought she blurted out quickly.
" I can choose where I'm born?"
" Lets just say that the higher up let you have this one time gift." Abigale had to swallow the words ' Lady Celestia' and gave her answer.
" Look I don't think its very fair that I can choose where I'm born. Nobody usually gets a chance to choose where or to whom their born."
" But this is a one time oportunity. Look if you don't choose than someone from the higher ups will."
" I'm ok with that. They might have a need for me somewhere else in this world i'm being reborn into." She frowned.
" I suppose its from the same world your from right?" Both a huge sigh and a irritated look came from him.
" Yes, it is."
" Am I going to be human?"
" Girl, you decided to not choose for yourself. So I can't tell you where, when, or anything about the next life. All I can say is that whatever you learned from your world might be usefull to you in the next."
" But, because you decided not to take the offer. you might actually have favor of the higher ups." He waved his hoof dismissively
" I cannot guarantee that though."
" Well is there anything you can tell me?"
" No. I cannot give you any help or any information. Thats the part of being reborn."
" Do I have to forget my last life by any chance?" He narrows his eyes in a way that looked like he was scolding her.
" Look, I can't tell you anymore. Just leave out that door behind you and your new life begins." She looks behind her and she sees a wooden door.
" Just push it open and walk through." She gives her own soft sigh. She found this whole ordeal to be strange. And she was certain that this whole ordeal could have been a dream from the get go. What were the chances that something like this would really happen to her?
With that in mind she stood up and walked to the door and stopped. Living another life didn't sound like a bad idea. But not knowing anything about the world she was going to be in was a big gamble.
" What if I don't go?" She asked.
" You don't get to be reborn. Life will sease and you'll be no more." She found herself frowning. She didn't really have a choice she thought. She pushed open the door and stepped through into the darkness. Knowing nothing of what would happen to her next. Living on blind faith that perhaps she'd be given a good home, a good life, or perhaps even a fair bargin on what this new life had in store for her.
