The blue pony took another step. Then another. W-what's that thing doing?! Luke screamed in his head, taking a few steps back. Seeing that Luke was indeed intimidated, the yellow pony's facial expression suddenly changed from fear to one of curiosity. The blue one then took a stance with its wings fully extended, looking as though it was about to attack.

"W-wait Rainbow Dash! It looks like it's scared..." said the yellow pony.

Did...that thing just fucking...

"Huh?" The other pony said, turning around.

Luke didn't hear much after that because as soon as it turned around, he bolted into the woods. Shit shit shit shit! he thought as he sprinted around trees and bushes, trying to get as far away from what he just saw. What the fuck was that?!

He ran for another minute or two until his lungs and legs starting burning. He put his back against a tree and remained still for about ten minutes until he was sure he had lost...whatever that was. Heart still pounding, he let out a sigh and looked up at the sky.

"Where the fuck am I?!" he screamed at no one in particular. Pacing back and forth, he began to hyperventilate. How is this happening?!

After his mini panic attack began settling, he sat down against a tree to gather his thoughts. D-did I die? Is this some kind of fucked up version of hell? Or am I truly just insane? With his adrenaline beginning to wear off, he began to feel the various cuts he got from running through both thorns and branches. He also couldn't help but notice how the lower leg of his jeans had been ripped off, and a bit of blood running down his leg. His sneakers were also soaked in mud, so much to the point where it was better having them off.

"Well, I'm sure not dreaming. That definitely hurts." He took off his sweatshirt so he could mop up the blood and apply some pressure to the gash. When the wound stopped bleeding, Luke began to think about what kind of situation he was in. I'm still leaning on drugs... it has to be drugs. What was it that happened again... I was in my car and... Luke paused for a moment. I crashed. That's right, so I must be dead. He took a look around. "Well, this sure isn't hell. It's too nice out to be hell. And it sure ain't heaven, I don't think ponies would be in heaven for some reason... especially not blue ones with... rainbow manes."

Not sure what else to do, he checked his pockets to see what he had on him. He took out to see he had a granola bar, a pack of gum, his wallet, and his phone. Deciding now was a good a time as any, he began unwrapping the snack and took a bite. Luke turned on his phone to see if he could call anyone to find him, only to have no service. Then something struck him, his phone said it was almost midnight, but it appeared to be mid afternoon where ever he was.

"Yeah, this is messed up, I gotta get home. I gotta do something! Maybe I shoul-" a howl could be heard off in the distance, interrupting him. M-maybe I should just stay put actually... Spooked by the howl, he decided he would begin to build some kind of shelter. While gathering stray branches, he continued to ponder if there were any other possibilities to explain what was happening to him.

...

...

"Huh?" Rainbow Dash said as she turned around.

"I said it looked scared..." Fluttershy said, embarrassed with her sudden outburst.

Rainbow Dash turned back to find that... thing was nowhere to be seen. "Hey! Where'd that thing go?" She said, darting her head left and right. "Can it fly?" She said looking around in the sky.

"I saw it run back into the woods...the poor thing must be so frightened..."

"Poor thing? That thing was a beast! Who knows what that thing could have done to us! Good thing I was here to scare it off." Rainbow Dash said triumphantly. "C'mon, that thing couldn't have gone far." She said as she flew over to the other side of the stream and into the woods.

"Wait! Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy yelled, flying after her. When she caught up, Rainbow Dash had stopped to inspect some footprints she found in some mud.

"Hm... these are really weird footprints. It's like it has some weird design on it's feet."

"Maybe we shouldn't go after it Rainbow... it didn't seem to have any intent on harming us." Fluttershy said hesitantly. "And look at this." Fluttershy said walking up to a branch with some kind of fabric on it. "I don't think this thing was any wild animal... it looks like it has some type of clothing. Oh no...this looks like blood....\" She stated as she observed the red stain on it. "It might need help!"

"Well, we couldn't follow it even if we wanted to...the footprints stop around here" Rainbow Dash stated, pointing to a patch of grass.

"We can't just leave it out there... what if it's badly injured?" She said with a great amount of worry in her voice.

" It seemed to run fast enough, it can't be that wounded. Hey Fluttershy, mind if I see that thing you holding?" Rainbow asked, to which Fluttershy nodded her head and gave her the fabric. "Maybe we can have Winona track him..." She said looking up at Fluttershy. "Worth a shot right?"

Fluttershy hesitated for a moment. "Well...ok. But were going to help it, right?

"Fine, but if that thing tries any funny business... I'm not holdin' back. It could still be dangerous y'know." Dash said as they began their flight back to Ponyville.

When they arrived at Ponyville, they decided to go to Twilight to see if she had any information on the creature they saw.

"Hey, anypony home?" Said Rainbow Dash, barging through the front door with Fluttershy not far behind.

"Be right down!" Twilight Yelled from her room. Eventually she made her way down the stairs, 3 books levitating around her. "Oh hi girls! How are you?"

"Fine, hey Twilight? You have a book about an animal that walks on two legs and doesn't have fur EXCEPT on it's head?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It also wore clothes... and it left a little behind." Fluttershy said, giving her the fabric the fabric.

"Hmmm....very strange. I'll see what I can find." Twilight said, levitating books around the library. Book after book, page after page, Twilight could not find an animal that matched the description Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had given her.

"Fascinating! This could very well be a new discovery!" Twilight said with glee. "Do you know where this 'creature' is now?"

"Well, not yet. We were going to ask Applejack if Winona could track it down. We also think that the red stain on that fabric thing is blood, so it might need help." Rainbow stated.

"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's get the girls and find this thing!"

Author's Note

Hey guys. I would just like to apologize for the brief chapters, school is kinda kicking my ass right now. I plan on putting out longer chapters when I don't have 3 different exams to study for, but until then they are probably gonna be pretty short.
