Back In The Past

Discord woke up with a loud scream. He was breathing really fast for he couldn't control himself at that moment. He took him a moment for him to realize that he was back in the room he fell asleep in and that what he saw was nothing more but a dream. One part of him was getting tired of having dreams of that house. He had nothing to do with and hardly knew anything about it. And at the same time he felt like the more he was there the more he felt like he was going crazy. Maybe he was. He was dreaming about murdered children and having visions of hurting them in any way possible. No normal creature has dreams like that and most definitely didn't have thoughts like the one Discord had at the house. Discord knew he wasn't normal; he never wanted to be. But this was more than crazy. Beyond crazy. It was insanely crazy what was happening to him. And the creatures who nearly killed him was the craziest thing of all. He didn't know what was real or not anymore. He wasn't for sure what was happening. What did everything he saw mean? What happened? He saw himself. What did that mean? How was that possible? Was that part of the dream or was that real? He didn't know anymore.

He turned his head and saw Spike on the floor sitting whispering something to himself but Discord could not hear what he was saying. He looked up at Discord shocked and a little scared. Discord was confused at first but then realized why. Spike saw everything. Spike saw his dreams. He didn't know how but he knew Spike saw everything. Discord felt guilty that Spike had to witness that. A part of him was regretting getting Spike into this. Maybe he should had kept to himself. Of course, he wouldn't have known what to do. Discord stared at Spike. He wanted to tell him that he was sorry. Before he could say anything, however, Spike got up and ran out of the room. Discord got up from the bed and followed Spike. Spike ran down the hall with Discord don't too far behind. Spike stopped at a door and opened it and went inside. Discord walked with him and saw that they were in the library. Spike started grabbing books from the shelves and looking through them. He was clearly looking for something within them.

"Spike, what was that? How did you do that?" Discord asked.

Spike said nothing to Discord. Discord now wanted nothing but answers. He waited to long for them. Now he was going to get something out of this.

"Spike?! Are you deaf or something? I asked you a question?!" Discord said again.

Spike still said nothing which started to anger Discord. Spike paid no attention to him. He kept looking through book after book after book until he finally stopped at one. He flipped through the pages. Discord looked behind him to see what Spike was trying to find. Spike stopped at one page and nodded. He found what he was looking for. He walked over to a table and pulled a chair out and sat down. He took a deep breath and looked up at Discord.

"Spike?! What's going on?! I want answers and I want them now!" Discord yelled.

"You might want to sit down. This may take a while," Spike said.

Discord looked at spike really confused but nodded. He walked to the table and sat down at a chair next to Spike. He braced himself for what he was about to hear but even then he wasn't prepared for what Spike was going to tell him and where this was going to lead.

Discord found himself at the one place he didn't want to be. He didn't know how on the heaven's grounds Spike even convinced him to come back the house. It took Spike an hour to do it but he did it. Discord was cussing and beating himself up for even agreeing to come back. Spike didn't know it but Discord only came back for Silver Blitzs. He wanted to help her stop the monster that was holding her here and wouldn't let her move on. In order to do that, though, he needed answers with what was happening with him. Even if that meant going back to the house and back in the basement where he found the phoenix. However, if anyone was more shocked about this than Discord was Spike, who was trying to keep himself together and not pass out. He already thrown up like 3 times since they enter the house.It was then that Spike knew that Discord was telling the truth.

"Honestly, I thought you were pranking me or something. Now I really wish that you were," Spike said scarily.

"I wish I was too," Discord said.

It surprised Discord how much Spike really believed in this kind of thing. He didn't just have a book about it. He had whole collections; all about ghost, demon and old legends. Discord never saw this side to Spike. It made him wondered what else did Spike do and was into. He also wondered if Twilight knew about it and if she did what she thought about Spike's...hobby. Discord looked at the many books Spike brought with them. He notice that most of the books were all written by the same author, Shredder. He had heard of that name before but he didn't know of it that well.

Spike went to where the secret hatch was from Discord's dream under the staircase. Spike opened the door and took a quick peek inside but he didn't want to go inside. He closed the door and took a few steps back and looked up at Discord who was not far behind.

"Where did you find the Phoenix?" Spike asked.

Discord walked over to the other side of the basement to the corner. "Here."

"There?" He walked over to Discord."Just right there?"

"Well there was a statue there but then it tried to kill me."

Spike eyes widened."Wait, what?! It came to life and tried to kill you?! "

Discord laughed. "Of course not. That just sounds crazy. He shape sifted to another creepier, bloodier, and less handsome looking version of me then torn off my wings and then tried to kill me?"

He thought to himself for a moment."When I say it like that it sounds crazy either way."

Spike looked down at the spot and held his claw out. Discord reached into Spike's bag and pulled out the Phoenix and handed it to Spike.

"That's interesting indeed."

Discord turned his head, confused. "What?"

"You said you saw a version of yourself?"

"Yes."

"Like the one in your dream?"

"Yeah. That's the one. I'm impress you figure that out so quickly," Discord said.

Spike looked down at the Phoenix. "So it's in the house but it's not in the house?"

Discord got a little weird out on how Spike said that. "I guess."

He wasn't sure on what to say to Spike but it didn't really matter because Spike wasn't saying much either. Spike kept his eyes on that one spot on the floor and at the Phoenix; deep in thought. Discord knew Spike was on to something. Spike a couples deep breaths and finally looked up at discord.

"This might not make sense to you but I think I have an idea of what is happening to you," Spike said.

Discord's body got really tense. "Well what is it? What is happening to me?"

"I don't know how or why but I think you travel to this house without actually going there in your sleep. Kinda like Princess Luna but a little different."

Discord stared at Spike. He wasn't sure if he heard correctly. Maybe his ears were broken because it was the most craziest thing he heard of. Discord pulled out one his ears and check to see if there was something wrong with. He looked inside his ear. Nothing seem wrong with it. He put his ear back and looked at Spike. He guess he did hear Spike right.

"Excuse me, what are you telling me?"

"Somehow or for some reason you are connected to this house when you sleep. I don't know why, though. I have an idea. But it can't be. Not you."

"What do you mean?"

"They're creatures like that but...no."

"Hello?! What are you saying? What do you mean that I'm traveling without traveling? That's like saying I'm eating without eating or running without running." Discord thought to himself at his comment. "Well, I guess you could if you were dreaming or were like me."

Spike nodded. "Yeah, if you were dreaming," he agreed. "For that to be possible though you had to be..."

"What?!" Discord yelled. "What?"

Spike looked up at Discord. "A soul dreamer."

"What?"

Spike gave Discord back the Phoenix.

"I think it's time to pay Princess Luna a little visit."
