Chapter 28

I woke up at the crack of dawn with the sun peeking over the horizon and glaring through the glass door leading to the balcony. I look over at my mare friend to see her soundly sleeping. I had a big day ahead of me and wanted to get it over with as soon as possible maybe before she woke up.

I crept out of the bed that seemed to suck me in with every movement as I struggle to move about. I get off and freeze solid as I saw her toss over to the cooler side of the pillow. I breath a deep sigh and stare at the mess we made last night. I probably had half of it on me and made made my way towards the shower room.

I quickly scrubbed myself off not missing a spot as I let the warm water pour over my tired and sweat drenched body. When I feel my skin start to get pruny I turn off the water and step out to dry. I glance briefly at my reflection in the mirror and move out into the bedroom.

I creep towards the door and push it open. Peeking my head out I didn't see anything suspicious and moved out into the hallway. I shut the door and turn my back. My chest nearly exploded when I saw Twilight only a foot away from me.

She literally came out of nowhere. How did she get there so fast and how did she hear me open the door. I grab my chest and gasp a sigh of relief I ask her. "How did you do that? That wasn't very nice of you." She cracks a smile and says with cockiness. "I can teleport to get around quicker. Im sorry that I scared you but I was curious ."

These Equestrians and their abilities never ceased to amaze and astound me. It was a good thing that I ran into her. I had no idea were my luggage was and she was the one to ask. I ask about my things and she sticks her hoof up and points at a wooden door at the end of the hallway.

I politely thank her and and made my way down the long corridor. I pull the door open and saw my things neatly stacked with care. I found the comm and turned to shut the door. Twilight was again right behind me and asked. "What are you doing? Can I be of any assistance?"

I tell her I would explain later but for now I needed a room with some privacy. She slumps her head and instructs me to follow her. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings but it was something I had to do alone. After a short walk we stop at a giant metal door with a padlock on the handle.

She closes her eyes and the appendage on the top of her head to glow and pop the lock. The door opens automatically and revealed a small library with books scattered everywhere. "This is my private study. I come her when I wasnt to be alone." I looked down at her and smiled as I said. " Thank you so much. I wont be long."

She nods and replies. "I'll be right outside just knock on the door and I'll let you out when your ready . I walk in and heard the door slam shut behind me. I walk through the disorganized mess and sat down at a wooden table.

I set the comm link on the table and flipped the screen. It lit up and the  loading screen propped up and black screened for several minutes. The tiny screen lights up and I see the all too familiar face of who I assumed was the captain of the vessel.

He had a big grin on his face and said in a polite tone. "good morning it's so nice to hear from you on such short notice. I had a feeling that you would want to leave as soon as possible." I gave him a stern look and shot back at him and cut to the chase . "That's why I called you. I wont be going with you. I want to stay here and I'm sorry to have wasted your time but you should just leave please ."

His bright smile turn into a sickening frown and his eyes focus dead on mine as he yelled back. "Im not sure whats going on with you down there but I will not allow to stay there. You possess the technology that could allow our species thrive on any alien world. We will stop at nothing to have it. It's been keeping you alive because it changes the poisonous atmosphere of this world into Oxygen that directly enters your bloodstream to keep you alive."

I stare and look down at the device and finally understood its importance to them. He clears his throat and continues on. " If you love this world you will come with us. You are a danger to every living thing on it. You could live here all your life but when you die and your heart stops the core of the device will go critical and if they don't get caught in the blast radius the whole planet will be irradiated. We are only thinking of your best interests and the inhabitants. Please make the right choice and come with us ."

I could feel the tears stinging the corners of my eyes and looked away from the screen away from him to hide my face. He clears his throat and finished off by saying. " I will send someone for you when the sun passes over the hemisphere we have a lock on your current location. I am sorry but it has to be this way I hope you understand."

The screen went black again and I was left alone to my thoughts. something wasn't right about this and I felt empty inside only sadness and rage ran over me and I slammed the comm link off the table and held my head off the edge. I thought to myself as I held my eyes shut. "What am I going to do? How can I tell them this especially Fluttershy? Would they understand?"
