Chapter 3: A dream and reality

Vinyl's Dream:

As I layed down and went to sleep I woke with a start. Then I looked to my right and saw Octavia, sleeping soundly on her matress. She stirred in her sleep and slowly her eyes began to open. She looked striaght at me and gave me a half asleep half awake smile. I smiled back and said "Good morning Octavia how are you feeling?"

"I'm doing just fine Vinyl thank you." She said smiling.

"Do you mind if I take the first shower?" I asked

"No not at all Vinyl be my guest." She smiled, but her smile seemed different like if she planned on me going first. It made me feel kind of uneasy.

"Thanks."

After I turned the water on and got into the shower about five minutes later I heard a small creak in the doorway. Then all was silent again so I ignored it. Octavia was a very how should I say 'proper' pony, she wouldn't just barge in on me would she? Then I heard small hoofsteps very gentle and quite but still present. I called out "Hello, Octavia is that you if so this isn't funny." No response. The hoofsteps got louder and louder until again they stopprd. "OK Octavia stop it you really freaking me out." Now I was quivering with fear, and I thought this pony couldn't be Octavia. Oh my what has this pony done to Octavia has he hurt her?...Killed her? Then the curtain were pulled back and I screamed and fell. I looked up and saw Octavia smiling wickedly. I yelled "Octavia stop it your really scaring me." I then examined her face more closley. Her eyes were blood red and her mouth was cut and had a chelsea grin on it. She then started speaking.

"I know what you are you rotten sack of shit." Her voice had a demonic undertone to it. "Your worthless and an abomination."

"Whats going on what happened to you?" I asked fearing for my life "And what do you meen about you knowing what I am?"

"You know what I'm talking about Vinyl."

"No I never told you that." How did she find out I never told her about that.

"I'll make sure you never have the chance to breathe again." She smiled her mouth was fitted with serated teeth were her normal teeth should have been. She then bit my throat and as soon as her teeth made contact I already knew if I didn't die from her choking me then surley all the blood Im losing will kill me. As soon as I felt my body go numb I just let go and let myself die. Then everything started to fade to black.

Reality Vinyl's POV:

I woke with a start, cold sweat dripping all over me soaking the sheets on my bed. I looked around and saw it was only just a dream. I looked over to were Octavia was still sleeping soundly. I kept reapeting to myself that it was just a nightmare and it would never happen. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps and soon enough the nightmare was noting more then well... a dream. She began to stir and she finally woke up after five minutes of trying to get herself to go back to sleep. She looked over towards me and I knew she could tell I wasn't feelin well.

"What's wrong Vinyl?'' she asked, "You seem worried."

"It's nothing Octavia I'm fine." I lied and I could tell she wasn't buying it.

"No there's something wrong what is it?"

"It was just a nightmare nothing to worry about."

"Are sure? Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Ya I'm fine."

"Ok then Vinyl."

I eventually got into the shower and within five minutes I was out. I put on my glasses and headed out of the bathroom. I saw Octavia sitting over buy a our desk reading. I came up to her and told her I was done. So she put the book down and went to go take a shower. I decide that I would listen to some music until she got out. I put my head phones on and turned up the volume and let the music carry me away. Around 7:45 Octavia was out of the bathroom and walked over to me and tapped me on the shoulder. I jumped, unware she was done getting ready. "Geez don't do that to me." I laughed, "You nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry," she giggled "I didn't know you would get scarred."

"Me scared... no, you just suprsised me." I smiled

"Ya, sure Vinyl whatever you say."

"Ya, anyway it's almost 8:00 you still wanna go get some coffee and breakfast?"

"Of course I do Vinyl, Octavia Philharmonica always keeps her promise."

"Alright lets go."

At the Coffee Shop:

Octavia's POV:

When we arrived at the small Cafe we were greated by a waitor asking for our orders. " I'll take some coffee, black, and a daisy sanwitch and a muffin thank you." I said smiling.

"And for the other lady?'' He asked in a rich Canterlot accent.

"Yes, I'll take a moca, daisy sanwitch, hay fries, and a muffin."

"Alright I'll bring your food out when it's ready." said the waitor

"Thank you very much." I said smiling, he smiled back.

"Hitting on waitors are we know Tavi?" Vinyl smirked.

"I don't know what you meen. And my name is Octavia not Tavi."

"Calm down Tavi it's just a nickname. And I saw you eyeballing him."

"I most certantley was not. I was only being polite." I stated.

"Ya sure anyways. I guess we have a while I say we should get know each other better."

"All right were do I start... I was borned and raised in Canterlot, I'm 17, I play the cello, and my parents are very strict but my father is more caring on certain subjects."

"Wait your 17 right?"

"Yes, why?"

"Your not even old enough to drink. This sucks."

"And why do you say that. Are you old enough to drink?"

"Yes im 18." She said,"Anyways were do I begin...hmmm... I was born and raised in the poor side of Canterlot, even though my mom is very wealthy. I have one sibling, I'm 18 and I DJ at clubs and parties."

"Wait you have a sibling, who is he?" I asked

"I really don't like to talk about my family, but I will say though he's 16 and is currently a senior in high school and plays for a band."

"Really? I guess that's cool. I don't have any siblings, so I wouldn't know."

"Oh he could be a real pain in the ass though."

"Vinyl! Watch your language your in a public area."

"Sorry. Sheesh now you sound like my mother."

"Your drinks and food ladies." The waitor said handing us our food.

"Thank you very much." I said

"My pleausre." He smiled.

"There you go again with the waitor."

"Just eat, you dirty minded filly."

After we ate and left we decided to go some stores and look around by the time we got back to our dorm it was 6:00 and for the rest of the evening I decided to study. I needed to study for classes which began tomorrow. Vinyl mearley just went on her machine put on her headphones and listened to or created music. After studying for 2 hours it was now 8:00 and I was getting tired and I could tell so was Vinyl. So we called lights out and said our goodnights. I couldn't help but think though that if maybe Vinyl seemed to be hiding something. She was quite hesitant about talking about her family, what could make Vinyl not want to talk about them? Oh well, if she feels like telling me she'll tell me. And with that final thought I drifted into sleep.

What's Vinyl hiding? Why was she so hesitant to talk about her family? By the way

I put a MetallicA reference in here, can you find it? Also another feference to a band in the start. Can you find that too?
