Author's Note: Okay, I decided to make a little change in the plot. I
decided to make a little unicorn-zebra kid called Firefly get somehow
warped into the dragon worlds and manage not to disappear as well. Sorry
for not continuing for so long. First, I thought no one liked this, second,
I got writer's block and the third reason is a reason so terrible
PERIODICAL TESTS. Thanks for reviewing, please review some more!
Something Supernatural Chapter 2: The Bend in the Passageway
Firefly
An icy breeze swirled from above, instantly vanquishing my sleepiness. I poked my head from my nest of cherry blossoms and peeked out the window. The sky looked midnight blue and purple.
My home may strike you as strange. I live in a section of the Great Wall of China that humans never visit. A great earthquake cut it off from the rest of the wall and because it was built in a cavern deep in the mountainside, it was never discovered. I sleep in one of its lookout towers (although I sometimes wonder what's to look out for here) located near the cave mouth so I get the most fantastic view of dusk, midday and dawn flashing through the mountains.
I'm Firefly, a four year old unicorn who's part pegasus and part zebra. I've got a black and white striped horn, a pig-tailed mane, two little wings that can fly pretty well and legs that look just like a zebra's except that the stripe pattern is black-white-brown-white-black instead of the regular black-white-black-white.
Oh well, enough about descriptions. I knew it was twilight. I NEVER had been up and awake on twilight before. This was my chance to explore. I shook my blanket off myself and tiptoed into the dark. The spooky fact that had kept me from attempting this feat remained at the back of my head: during this hour, this section of the Wall was said to be haunted.
It certainly looked haunted. The yellow-gray bricks of the Great wall were painted with shadows of stalactites and stalagmites. The fact that they reminded me of gravestones didn't make me chicken out. The sound of rushing wind didn't make me regret this; neither did the footsteps I heard behind me. I had nearly managed to make it to the next lookout tower, up a couple of uneven steps without meeting any ghosts. But before the ghost fact started to look like a simple rumor, I caught a glimpse of a shadow, a moving shadow, a moving, bluish shadow, a shadow that seemed to glow.
At that moment, I realized that I was in big trouble.
I didn't stop to ask if it indeed was a spirit, just run through the foggy cavern. Nothing could be heard but the sound of the wind rushing by and of my hooves clit-clotting on the bricks. And the most terrible sound was that of the ghost. It sounded like unearthly wind chimes. Unearthly wind chimes that were after me (Fragment Alert!).
As the sound grew closer, I knew that mom was right about the first part of her story, there really were ghosts in here. I wondered if the second part of it were true too. Did these ghosts take whoever disturbed them at this hour away with them? I hoped not.
But as the blue smoke caught up and completely engulfed me, one look at its eerie red eyes told me that it was terribly real. Uh oh, Mom's story was no fairy tale.
The next thing I knew was that I was not home anymore. I was nowhere near it. I was in a narrow passageway lit by a glowing stream of blue water. Feeling chilly inside and out, I put my tail under my legs; someone was coming.
" COOL! This secret passage isn't completely dark at all. What's that light over there?" I took my tail out from my legs; He didn't sound like a ghost.
" I don't know. It could be a spirit or something like that." My trembling stopped a bit. SHE was also probably worried about spooky things.
The voices came from behind a bend in the passageway. I ran up to meet them.
Still Chapter Two. Sheila
Spyro soon was all over the spooky secret passage. He investigated almost everything. He inspected the moss that looked purple when light was shined on it, he observed the strange stalagmites that seemed to have been covered with glitter, and when I found a cave painting, he came up with a weird hypothesis about what it was all about. However, he wasn't the only one who was fascinated by this discovery. Sparx buzzed almost everywhere as well. I admit that I was quite interested, but when I saw the blue tinge of light by a bend in the passageway, something told me that it was quite supernatural.
Suddenly the silence was shattered by the sound of someone running. It was white, it was small, it was furry and fast, it was gaining speed when just as suddenly as it came running, it tripped. It was a weird, cute, shaky little girl.
She had four strange striped legs and a pair of wings. The horn on her forehead told me that she was mostly unicorn.
The girl lifted a hoof "I'm Firefly and," She pointed at a luminous, blue stream, the source of the blue light, "I think there's a ghost over there."
Spyro looked even more excited. But before any of us could check it out, a huge rumble echoed throughout the passageway.
"Oh no!" gasped Firefly, "This can't possibly get worse!"
Unfortunately it did. The rumbling was soon followed by huge jolts of the ground.
The strongest thump sent me flying farther that I could ever hop. I landed with an Ooof(!) on the other side of the spooky stream.
"Hey! Wait up!" Spyro and Sparx glided after me. So did Firefly. However, the quake didn't permit perfect landings. They all landed by my side with a bump.
At that moment other sounds filled the passageway: the sound of bubbles surging up the stream and the sound of the spookiest wind chimes I had ever heard.
Something gigantic, luminous, blue, misty and shadowy emerged from the waters. Firefly hid behind me, trembling terribly with her tail under her legs. She whispered, "It's a ghost. Only it's bigger than the one who took me."
