Chapter 1
My first thoughts were that I was dead, but no that couldn’t be right. My head hurt to much, it hurt a lot actually. “Ohhhh.” I moaned as I woke from the anesthetics. I tried to sit up but I hit my head. “What the-?” I slowly opened my eyes to bright fluorescent lights, squinting I reached up to grab the side of the bed but my hand was stopped by something cold, something hard. Now waking up, I looked around and saw that I was laying in a bed that matched my spine perfectly. Looking past my bed there was a little table in the corner of the room, with a coffee mug and a tablet and something I couldn’t read on it. In the middle of the room was a small note. Rolling out of the bed, still groggy, I fell on my face. Too weak to stand I dragged myself to the note.
I reached out to grab it but I couldn’t pick it up. Quizzically I brought my hands-no my hooves? “Wait I have hooves?” I asked my self, looking behind me I noticed that my back was extended and flat. From what I could see, my back look that of a horse, and was light grey in color, and there were marks on both sides of my flanks. A big black circle enclosing a smaller red dot,
It took some effort but I managed to knock open the note.
“Well if you managed to get this far I think you can make it to the door.”
“What door?” I asked to myself looking around. I was standing in the middle of a glass box with a solid grey wall on one corner. Above the wall was a timer that was counting down, fast. Then with a solid “THWUMP” The wall slowly fell backwards, shattering the glass as it fell. “Ok then.” I muttered to myself as I stepped onto the fallen wall. It felt, weird to say the least. Like it was buzzing with energy. Taking another tentative step forward, then another when suddenly I fell through the wall. “What the- OOF!” I wheezed, looking up I expected to see the hole above me, but instead I saw the glass box. But this time I was outside of it. Getting up I turned around and my jaw hit the floor.
In front of me was an ring, a red spinning ring. Ducking my head down and backing up I failed to notice that I was stepping back onto the fallen wall. The ground dropped out from under me as i was sucked into the hole. But also back to where I landed before. Getting up quicker this time, I moved back to the fallen wall, and noticed that there was a blue ring on this wall. “Ok ok I get it.” I said moving my jaw to one side. Slowly I reached out to the spinning ring. “If I put my hoof in here then.” With a slight warble my hand went through. Looking behind me I confirmed my suspicions. “It should appear over there.” Walking around the glass box I saw a circular door at the end of the room. Moving towards the door I noticed a small oval camera above the door. Pointing down I had to assume that it was disconnected.
Standing in front of the door I raised one of my hooves to the door, trying to keep my balance. When with a sudden “Whoosh” the door split open. Inside the room was a big round button with a dull line running across the floor and ending next to another door. In one corner was a pile of white metal boxes that led up to a tube connected to the ceiling, and out of sight. To my left at the top of the wall, was a big glass window. And inside of the window I could just barely make out the outline of a chair toppled over on its side. “Hello?” I said to the big glass screen “Any one there?” no reply, shaking my head I trotted over to the pile of boxes, and, looking at the button muttered under my breath “This shouldn’t be to hard.”
Climbing to the top of the pile of boxes, I gripped the one at the top between my front pair of hooves and with a hefty tug, the box and I went tumbling backwards. Groaning as I climbed to my feet, I looked at the box. It was a fairly normal box, although made of metal and had glowing blue lines on it, with a circle of lines on the middle. Grunting with effort I managed to push the box onto the button. Trotting past the open doors and down the stairs I saw an elevator waiting for me with open doors. There were no buttons to go up or down just a small circular room with a slightly padded floor. Sighing as I sunk to my knees I looked up at the ceiling and slowly fell asleep, listing to the humming of the elevator.
