Chapter 2: Welcome to the Everfree

Several hours after last event

"Auugh..." I mumbled in a pained and irritated tone. "What the hell happened?"

"Okay...let's recap. First I got hit by a helicopter. Then I got infected. Next I got attacked and saw my newest friend dead. And last I got sucked into a vortex.......Fann-fuckingtastic!" If you guessed by now....im pounting.

I suppose next is an inventory check. Okay, I got my Iphone...which has no battery. Next on my list, a watch....busted. Ipod.....fuck yeah it still works! With, 80% battery. Last in my pockets is, my Stilleto, a knife.

"The happieness in my body is overflowing." You see, I love my knives, no matter what.

"Okay let's see where we are."

I started looking around hoping to find some civilization, only to find I was in a dark forrest. "Huh... that's odd"

I wonder where I am, so I decided to go walking around to see what I could find.

...

After about half an hour of walking I started hearing noises. Dark, eary, and evil noises to my left. I couldn't help myself, so on instinct I went to check it out.

I've been following the sounds for 30 ft. just to know what it was, as I got closer, aparently so did it.

While following the sounds I began to feal weaker and lowly said, "Oh hell.... I don't feel to hot. What did that portal thing do to me."

To see if I was all right, I tried to transform my arm... but, for some reason, I couldn't. "What the fuck!" It was odd, scary odd. I tried to see if I still had my strength and speed. Luckily I still have those, good.

I tried to see if I could still disguise myself, "Hah, hell yeahs, I can still shift!"

This was good, I may not be able to make weapons, but I can still do everything else.

Just in time too, whatever the hell that noise was, it's here!

Out of the darkest of the night, a giant lion/scorpion thing is right infront of me.
It was atleast twice my size. Its teeth were menacing and had claws as long as 3ft. in length. Then I noticed something different, it had wings, bat wings to be exact.

This creature was actually menecing. If I didn't have my strength or speed, I wouldn't stand a chance.

"Okay you big piece of trash..... let's get this over with." As I said that, the creature seemed to understand what I was saying. And apparently it got pissed off, and made a strike towards me.

Barely dodging it, I wanaged to rush toward it with the intent to kill.

...

It was early in the morning. I was feeding the animals I took care of on a normal basis.I was about to head inside when I saw a flash of light in the sky.

"Hmm.... I wonder if Twilight is practicing a new spell." I was thinking over my options to either go inside, or see my friend. "I might as well go, i'm not doing anything else for a while anyway. I just hope I don't interrupt anything, that would be just awful."

I decided to go see my friend, but first I had to tell my bunny, Angel.
He didn't seem to mind when I told him.

"Okay now angel, i'm going to go see my friend, okay." Angel only nodded as a response.

"Okay Angel, take care of the house while i'm gone." He just sighed at that. And with a smirk I left.

...

As I was reaching Twilight's house I heard a commotion coming from inside, "Oh no Spike this is bad!" It was Twilight, she sounded worried.

Then I heard a voice that I knew was Spike's, "Don't worry Twi', It was probably a dud."

"No Spike! It worked, I know it did!"

"Okay. Okay. Geez"

Hmm... I wonder what that was about.

I went to knock on the door, but it flew open before I could. "Ohh.."

"Oh i'm sorry Fluttershy, i'm just in a hurry."

"For what Twilight?"

"Well I cast a spell that was suppose to teleport items."

"Oh, that's interesting."

"Yes it is. Well I must hurry, I think the spell backfired."

"Wait. Was it a bright light sort of thing?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

"Because I saw it earlier."

"You did? Where?!?"

"Umm, just over there." I said while pointing over to the Everfree Forest. "I could take you if you like."

"Oh yes please, and thanks Fluttershy!"

"Okay then Twilight."

"Alright let's get going."

...

It took us about an hour to get to where I saw the light.

"It was over here Twil-" And then I heard a roar and a scream coming from our left.

"What was that?" Asked Twilight in a very worried type voice.

"I don't know. I think somepony's being attacked!"

"Then quick we need to help them!"

We started running toward the commotion. I knew it was a battle alright. So, I started flapping my wings, hoping that I could go faster.

When we got to the commotion we were shocked. There was this monkey-like creature, it didn't have hair, it was bi-pedal, and it wore clothes.

The poor thing was fighting a manticore, and.... winning? Just as I was about to question Twilight, the bi-pedal creature jumped on to the manticore's back and... and...

I couldn't take in what I saw, It was horrible, because the odd creature....

...

As I was fighting this giant, I started hearing footsteps. I would've wondered what it could've been, but I had my hands buisy at the moment.

I was starting to think, Why can't I kill this thing? What is it anyways? I know i'm hurting it, but why won't it die?

This creature was really pissing me off, so I decided to do something deperate. I ran straight at it as it swipped its paw. I managed to dodge it, and get onto its back. From there I dug my fist into its back, and snapped its spine with a bone crunching *CRACK*.

As the beast started falling over, I glanced over to see two small horses with... wait.... that one has a horn?!? And that one has wings?!?

They were starring at me. Their eyes were filled with horror and confusion. I was about to say something when the yellow one said, "h-h-how c-c-could y-you?"

It can talk?!? "How could I what?"

"You killed it!"

"Wait that thing" I said gesturing over to that monster's lifeless figure.

"Yes, how could you?!"

"Simple... It was attacking me, so I attacked back." She's starting to piss me off.

"But you didn't have to kill it!"

"Of course I did!" I yelled back, "If I didn't, I would be a bloody pile of mush right now!"

The yellow one grew silent, while the purple one glared. Then something happened, the unicorn's horn started glowing purple.

"What are you doi-" I was interupted when the unicorn shot a ball of pure energy at me.

The ball hit my arm, right under my elbow, completely burning it off.

"OW! Why did you do that!" I was clearly in pain by this, and then it seemed the yellow one ,clearly a pegasis, started feeling bad for me. I don't know why, she was mad at me just a few seconds ago.... it's wierd.

The yellow one turned to her, I assume it's a her, friend, and said in a worrying tone, "Twilight why did you do that?!?"

"I thought he was about to attack us Fluttershy!"

Okay, so now I know their names, that's good. Im also starting to think these 'horses' are the dominant species here. That's good to know, if I need to disguise myself.

The one whos name I learned is Fluttershy started slowly walking over to me, "Are you okay?"

"Okay? Okay! Do I look okay? I lost my arm!" She winced at what I said. Maybe I was to loud?

"Oh I'm...I'm sorry." She then started reaching towards me, probably wanting to help.

I just backed away as she got closer, "I'll be fine. And, I'm sorry for yelling. I'm just really pissed off."

"It's alright, it was my fault."

Fuck, now i'm getting attacked by guilt. "No-no-no, as I said, I shouldn't have yelled at you." It's like she's tearing through my soul.

She stepped closer agian, but I just backed away further. "Why won't you let me help you?" She said alittle sadder now.

*Sigh* "Because of this." I gestured my arm forward, to which they just stared. After about 20 seconds of consentrating, dark red tendrils started going out of what used to be, my right elbow. The tendrils started combining into the shape of another arm.

When my arm was completly back, the two girls just stood there in shock.

"How did you do that" Said the one whos name I learned was Twilight.

"It's an infection."

They were becoming more scared of me now. I knew I needed to leave. As I started to walk away, Fluttershy asked one last question, "What are you?"

"Heh, Im'ma human."

As she was about to ask one more question, but I ran off into the woods. I Didn't want them here any longer. It was dangerous after all.

...

After an hour of running, I found the end of the forrest. Just over the horizon, I could make out a town full of ponies.

I started looking for a place to sleep, when I spied a mountain. And on that mountain, was a castle.

"Well son-of-a-bitch..... that's a castle."

I stood there in awe for a good hour. It was getting dark, I had to find a place to sleep at and fast. So, I started roaming around, hoping to find a place to sleep.

Took thirty minutes to find a good place to sleep. It was a tree, and in that tree was......APPLES!

I was so hungry, especially since I couldn't consume that lion thing. To consume, is basically like eating. Except after I consume something I heal and also gain all of the memories.

Before I went to sleep in that nice tree....I was ganna eat my heart out.

After eating 5 apples, alot, right, I started thinking "I'll need to diguise myself before entering town." So I started brainstorming on what I'll look like and such, and what I did for a living.

So as I was thinking I slowly drifted off to sleep.

...
