Chapter 7: A Nightmare
Read, comment, enjoy.
Wanderlust's eyes snapped open but he found himself seeing nothing. Quickly he rose and looked around but still nothing showed. He didn't know if he was blind or if he was somewhere with no light but he knew that this wasn't where he should have been. He hesitantly took a step forward and when his hoof met solid ground he was relieved. He crept forward in a random direction since he had no way of knowing where anything was. He moved forward carefully until something caught his attention. In the landscape of darkness he saw a single green spot.
"Well I'm not blind so I guess that's a good thing." He muttered to himself before trotting towards the light. After several minutes of his careful trotting he noticed something: The light wasn't getting any closer. He turned his trot into a light gallop as he felt a strange paranoia set in. He hadn't felt any fear when he had woken in this place but now it felt as if something was watching him. He knew that it was most likely nothing but still his heart beat faster and his mind raced.
Minutes later, the light was just as small. Wanderlust felt his breath catch in his throat as he heard a soft clicking coming from behind him. In an instant he was in a dead gallop towards the light but the light only seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.
Again the clicking came but it was more rapid than it was before. Quickly the clicking was joined by another and another. In a moment the only thing that Wanderlust could hear was the horrible clicking noise that seemed to be coming from everywhere at once.
Wanderlust screamed in terror as he felt something brush against his side and he put everything he had into one last burst of speed. He closed his eyes tightly as he felt his heart and lungs struggle to keep up with his body. His terror pushed him to keep moving and when he opened his eyes, he found the green light now just feet from where he was. He felt tears of joy stream down his cheeks as he neared it.
He lunged towards the light and he could feel a strange warmth enter his body as his hooves came just within inches of the soft glow. But he never got the chance to touch it. Something collided with Wanderlust and knocked him several feet from the light. He winced as he crashed into the ground. He lay on the ground in a crumpled heap as the light floated just mere feet from where he now lay.
He tried to crawl towards the light but as soon as he moved something landed hard on his back. He cried out in pain as the weight was lifted off his back and swiftly smashed back down. Pain shot through his body but he forced himself to look up at his attacker. What he saw made him wish for death.
Standing above Wanderlust was another pony who was half illuminated by the soft green light. He made out a long pink mane and an equally long and pink tail. Looking into the pony's face he saw a pair of soft blue eyes. Wanderlust felt his heart constrict as he recognized the pony. "Fluttershy..." He grunted as she kicked him in the side again.
She smiled and he saw that her mouth was full of razor sharp teeth. Another figure soon emerged from the shadows behind her, quickly followed by another and another. Before long there stood five ponies behind Fluttershy.
Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Rainbowdash all smiled the same horrible grin as Fluttershy. Just like Fluttershy all their mouths were filled with the same razor teeth. All seemed to resemble broken glass.
He imagined those teeth ripping into his flesh and he shuttered. He watched helplessly as the ponies came to him and grabbed his back hooves. He didn't even have the strength to struggle as he was pulled away from the light.
In just moments the light vanished and all hope of escape vanished. He lay there helplessly before several sets of teeth ripped into his body. He didn't even scream as he was torn apart. The last thing he heard before he died was a soft voice. "Good night Wanderlust. Sweet dreams." Came Fluttershy's soft voice before his life completely left his body.
Wanderlust sat up in the bed that he was in and let out a horrible scream. He screamed until he thought his lungs would burst and then he screamed some more. He screamed for an entire minute before stopping. He just lay in the bed as cold sweat poured down his body and he shivered.
He looked out a nearby window and saw that it was still light out. A bird flew past the window and he breathed a sigh of relief. "It was just...a bad dream..." He murmured.
Really short chapter :( Sorry. Expect a real chapter in a few days. Until then goodbye :]
