Well, it's been a few days since that hellish day. I'm honestly not even worried about choosing my date to this dance, but this whole hallucination ordeal... is messing with me...

I don't know if I'm hallucinating, or if this is really happening in front of me. I haven't had to deal with it since then, but I just feel like if it ever comes back, it'll be worse than it could ever be.

I worry about it as each day pass. At first, I looked forward to my new life here, but after seeing everything that I've seen... you begin to ease back into that circle of depression...

I didn't know what to think. The fall dance was coming extremely fast, and I still have yet to choose someone.

I sat in the music room after school, strumming away at one of the guitars that was in the storage closet. As I strummed away, I felt my troubles slowly go away. Music is my safe haven from everything.

If I feel cornered, I'll start singing or make a beat of some sort. Music calms my mind, so I try to either listen or make music to calm myself.

In the middle of strumming, my fingers stopped as I looked out the window for a second, "How long have I been strumming? The sun is already about to set. I guess I should get going either way..."

Take note that we still have stargazing this coming weekend. At first I was looking forward to it, but knowing what happened a few days back frightens me...

What if that same ordeal happens again. With that in mind, passing out from my narcolepsy is the least of my problems.

Once I placed the guitar back in the storage closet, my phone went off. I checked the caller ID, and saw that it was Rainbow Dash. I answered and she sounded a little relieved, "What's up Rainbow?"

"Orion, are you still at the school?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Can you get something for me? I left my binder for English in my locker. Can you get it for me?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Alright, you remember my code, right."

"Yeah, don't worry. Where should I meet you."

"At my house, just knock on the door. One of my parent's should answer the door. Just hand it to them. Don't try and stay too long though. My parents are... ugh..."

"Don't worry, I understand. Most parents are."

"Thanks again dude."

"No problemo," Once I hung up the phone, I grabbed my bag, and I made my way to her locker, only to be stopped by Principal Celestia.

"Are you still here Orion?"

"Yeah, I was just about to leave. Just gotta get a friend's binder."

"Okay, but I actually needed to talk to you."

"Oh... okay?"

"To my office, let's go," Confused, I followed Principal Celestia to her office. I haven't been called to her office yet, but I believe this may be about my narcolepsy.

Once we arrived at her office, she opened the door, and ushered me inside, "Do you know why you're here?"

"Is it my narcolepsy?"

"Yes, Orion, we need to know this information ahead of time. You may not have passed out yet at school, but if it does happen, we need to prepare for it. Luckily, your friends spoke up for you, and told me."

"Yeah, I kept it from them too. The thing was, I only found last week I had narcolepsy. I didn't want to worry anyone, and I even forgot myself."

"I understand that, but a situation like that could cause someone's anxiety to act up."

Thought that's true, it'll cause my own to rise, but I'd rather just keep that between my friends. I mean, my anxiety is better than how it usually is, but my depression... is kind of... questionable to me.

"That's all I really wanted to see you for. You're dismissed."

I stood up and nodded before heading out her office, but she stopped me one last time, "Orion, if you need anything from me, don't hesitate to ask."

I paused for a moment, and as she said this because I heard... an upbeat piano playing in the background. It wasn't distorted like it usually is, but it was faint. To quickly get to the bottom of this piano, I nodded before quickly leaving.

I jogged to the music room to hear the music get softer and softer. Once I heard this, I slowed myself down. It was then the music sounded as if it caught up to me because when I stopped, it got louder, and was at its loudest when I stopped.

"This music... is following me..."

Baffled by this realization, I ran towards Rainbow's locker, entered the lock's code, and grabbed her binder before making a dash for my motorcycle.

Once I revved up, I could still hear the music as I was driving. It was getting faster as I drove at blistering speeds down the highway.

I was so worried about getting away that I didn't see that I was about to pass a redlight, and collide with a truck.

I skid across as the truck honked at me as I hit the brakes.

I signed heavily as I heard the piano slowly die out. Relieved, I checked my phone to see the time, "4:30... okay..."

I revved up again before waiting for the redlight to turn green, "What kind of hell am I living right now? Where I have to ruin away from music? The one thing that calms me?" Once the redlight turned green, I continued on to Rainbow's house.

I arrived in front of Rainbow's house, and just stared at it. Soon afterwards, the house, along with the surroundings changed color. No, actually, it lost its color.

"What the...?"

I soon heard a faint knocking sound, bringing the house back to color. I looked up at one of the windows to see Rainbow pointing at her phone, and holding it up to her ear.

I looked at my phone in response to see her calling me. I picked up, "Hey dude, I think I should go to your house to grab my binder. You seem out of it. We should probably talk."

"Alright, c'ya then," I took a deep breath, and went off again towards my house. I didn't look back. I had no intention to. I... was scared..., and backed into a corner one again.

I arrived back home without my mom's car bring there, "She needs to stop working a double shift, and let me get a job...," I stepped inside, and set my bag by the door, "I have an hour, let me see if the goddess will...," My body went limp as woke up in the clouds.

I looked around and heard, "Orion?"

"Goddess?"

"Oh thank goodness you're okay. I couldn't get a hold of you for a week. What has happened?"

"Goddess, something might be out to get me or something. Ever since my first day out with my friends... weird... things have been happening."

"This is bad. I was afraid this was going to happen. Listen, I need you to-," Her voice soon got distorted, and it disappeared.

"Enough of that..."

"What the? Not again..."

"Oh my dear Orion. I can't wait for everything to come crashing down for you soon. Then, you'll be all mine. Only then, will you realize that there is only..."

Ding-Dong!

I jolted up from the couch to hear the doorbell. I jumped from the couch, and opened the door to see Rainbow looking worried, "Hey Rainbow, you look nice."

"Uh, thanks? Ugh, cut the crap dude. What's been going on with you. You've been acting like you're... paranoid or something."

"Paranoid? What would I be paranoid about?" I tried to hide my nervous tone, but it obviously didn't work.

"Come on dude, there's something up."

"I said there's nothing. Aren't you here to just get your binder."

"I said to get my binder and talk to you. What's wrong Orion? You've been acting strange ever since you passed out in front of everyone. Are you not 100% yet?"

"I am, it's just a lot of things are going through my mind right now."

"Listen Orion, your mom told us about your depression and anxiety...," I stood silent, and ushered her inside. I sat on the couch, and stared at the ground for a good minute. She then spoke again, "We've all gone through it. Even Pinkie, and she's practically the opposite of depression. You can fight it, all it really takes... are your friends."

"I know, and it's helped. But for some reason, my eyes always want to picture something different. I can't even properly explain it either..."

"Hm, I don't really know what to say there. But listen dude, nothing will get better if you just leave it be. Talk to us about it, besides, this weekend is the stargazing day. I hope you're ready for it."

"Yeah, I've actually been looking forward to it," I began to form a small smile, causing Rainbow to get excited.

"That's what I like to see. Come on, bigger!" She then began poking me like Rarity did my first day. I started laughing, and I soon fell on my back, making her follow me to continue the poking.

She stopped a little bit to see that she was actually mounted on me. We stared at each other as she looked away shyly, "Uh..."

"Quite the predicament we're in...," We stared at each other, and then... I heard it again. The piano...

This made the world around me freeze as I stared around for the source. However, again, there was no source.

There was just a faint piano playing in the background. When I turned back to face Rainbow, "Hey Rainbow, do you hear...? Ah!" Her face... her eyes... they... were inhuman.

Her eyes her pitch black, as if it was just a dark void of nothingness. To add to it, her eyes were also bleeding. The blood flowed down the side of her cheeks, and her face seemed to have been lifeless.

Of course it would be though, nothing that look liked that would still be full of life...

"That's quite enough of that. She's trying too hard to take you away from me. I'm not going to let that happen. You're mine, and only mine."

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

"You'll see. One day, you'll see... my beloved..."

As the world started turning once again, and the piano stopped, Rainbow's body gained back her eyes, and the blood dissipated, she collapsed onto my chest.

"Rainbow?" I started shaking her to see if she was awake, "Come on, wake up!"

Her eyes fluttered open to see her in my arms, "Huh? What happened?"

I didn't want to worry her, so I had to lie, "I don't know. One moment you were full of energy, and next, you're collapsing unconscious."

"Dude, that's freaky..."

"Maybe you're tired or something. Do you think you can stay here the night?"

"I-I don't have to. I can just head on home."

I had to keep lying, but part of me was still trying to prevent her from leaving my house. It was as if... I didn't want her to. Not out of fear..., but possibly for my own selfish need.

I didn't know what was coming over me, I just didn't want her to leave, "Please, I can't risk you fainting again with no one around to help you, or for some pedophile to rape you."

"When did it come to that? I'll be fine..."

"No... I don't want you to go..."

What? I can't... control myself... what's going on? Why can't I move? No, I can't move or even control my own body! What the hell is happening?!

I soon felt my hand grab Rainbow's arm, and I could tell it was fiercely because she yelped in pain. It was then the same piano played again backwards, and distorted. Along with it, a bone-chilling ambiance filled the air as I dragged her through the house.

I then said this, "You don't need to see or hear this..."

My true vision became black only to hear this in the end, "Hm, that didn't go as planned. Let us start again...," A bright flash of light filled my eyes as my vision came back to...
