I really did. Honest! But I couldn't; the bag was too tight. It was covering up my mouth and general face, like a mask with no eye-holes. "Mhmhph!" I managed to get out as I felt two ponies escourting me across a grassy, cool road. One of the ponies slapped me. "Hmme.." I whimpered as the pony hit me again; "Shut up you!" A gruff voice said coldly as I stumbled in shock. After what seemed like hours the two ponies stopped. I started to cry when one slammed his hoof against my neck; pummeling me towards the ground. "Come on Sid! She's just so.. Delicate. You'll ruin her!" A female voice snapped, I guessed she was the other pony who escourted me. I winced, the way she said delicate was in a cruel manner. I wondered why I was even captured in the first place, I was just minding my own buiness at my home when everything went black. I soon awoke with a pounding head-ache and a bag over my head. "Lift her head up." A male voice ordered, I heard that voice before! But I couldn't quite put my hoof on it at the time. One of the ponies twisted my head up. "Half open the bag." The pony did as told and opened it only revealing my neck and mouth. "Good." "Let me go! Please!" I screamed, only to be hit het again. "Oh my poor dear!" The voice said cruely. I heard a pony coming closer until I could feel his breath on my neck. "It'll all be over soon." He whispered in my ear menacingly. Then I felt it. His toungue. It wiped up and down my neck, then stopped. "You taste good." He said, "Real good." That was it for me, "Litsen you! Let me go!" I yelled. "Or what sweetie?" "Or I'll..." I fell silent. I was never a fighter. The colt slammed on my legs. "Aghh!" I howled. I took a deep breath one last scream; "AHHHHHHHH!" A volcano of sound errupted out of my mouth! The colt stamped on my face; "Listen, you. Are. Going. To. Die. So shut up already and don't ruin my fun!" The colt snapped. I whimpered this was the end. "Now. Let her see her killer." Finally the bag was removed completely. I looked at it. It was covered in blood. I glanced up. "Hello Fluttershy." Said Filthy Rich. I recoiled in shock; why would he want to hurt me?! Smiled like he could read my mind. "Do you believe in myths?" He asked, I nodded; "Well I just saw a Cerberus a bit ago.." I started, "DID I SAY I WANTED YOUR OPINION?!" He yelled, I shook my head. "Good." He said, "Because guess what little Flutter? I am a- ugh!" Suddenly a wooden spear struck right down his spine! He cried in agony before collapsing. A cloaked mare dropped down, landing safely in front of me. "Was I interrupting anything?" The mare asked with a hint of humour in her voice; almost like she found this whole situation funny. I just realised the two goons. They bolted towards the mare, in which the mare swiftly dodged them. She ran at the colt and pulled out another spear. With a swift blow his ear fell off, he screamed even more when she killed him by plunging the spear into him. The other goon gulped, then growled. She lept at the mare, slicing the mare's leg with her sharp hoof. "Huh? Is that all you got?" Said the mare, "Wow." She then stabbed the goon causing her to collapse. I curled up in a ball and whimpered. This was all too much. "Let's see who I saved today!" The mare grinned coming closer to me, I shut my eyes tight. I felt the mare's hoof it was warm and welcoming. "Uhh hello?" The mare tossed my head to her side. She jumped back. "Fluttershy?!" She exclaimed; she then started flying back and forth. "Nononono! This can't be happening! How am I..." She stopped then ran up to me, "Did he tell you what he was?!" I shook my head. "Was he close to?" I nodded slowly. The mare sighed, "Come on! I have some explaining to do." The mare helped me onto her back, soon we were flying. Then  I started to think. Her voice was REALLY familiar.... "Rainbow dash?" I thought out loud, then the mare stopped and hovered mid air for a moment. "What did you say?" "Uhh... Rainbow dash." The mare flicked back her hood to reveal a rainbow mane, "I guess when you are as awesome as me, you will be recognised." She sighed.
