SpellBound

Chapter 2

=================

==========

           The colt sitting before her was not normal, Moonsheen knew as much already. When she had screamed, she had scared the creature in front of her as well, sending it running back into the bush she had found it in again. She had to take a minute to comprehend this.

Was it even a pony?

If not, what was it?

If so, what kind of colt had eyes like that?

             She had never seen anything like it, except for the time Bran used a spell-in-a-bottle on his eyes to make them change shape and colour. Could this colt be hexed? It certainly could, but not out here. Besides, by how dirty and hungry it looked, it had been here for a while and even stronger illusion spells like what Brandon Muffin had used don't last more than a few hours.

This couldn't be a spell.

Moon finally recovered and contemplated whether or not to look for that colt again. She decided that she should have a look, just in case.

"Ummm...... It's okay, little guy. I won't hurt you."

*RUSTLE*

*crack*

The strange colt peered peeked out from inside the bush at Moonsheen.

She definitely wasn't mistaken, those were still lizard-like eyes. She also had another question. Where was that ponie's parents, and why had they left their child at the mercy of the forest?

"I'm sorry if I scared you, little dude. Where are your parents?" She asked, pondering who they could be.

              The filly stared at her blankly, then darted out of the bush faster than she thought possible for a colt that age, trying to escape.

"Huh!?" She said, confused and unable to track the colt.

*SHOOM*

The air swished behind her, like an object had passed at great speed.

"How?....," Moonsheen muttered, confounded by how fast the colt was going.

Suddenly the filly stopped, and looked at Moonsheen, confused and with a dazed look in his eyes. Then he fell asleep, tipping over and falling flat on his side, obviously exhausted from trying to run so fast while using magic.

"Wow, that was..... Weird, to say in the least. Where could his parents be? I dunno, maybe..... Maybe I should take the little thing home, try to find his parents in the morning?"

She pondered, thinking of what to do with the colt sleeping before her.

She couldn't leave it in the forest, all alone..... "But it's parents might come looking for it.... Maybe I should leave it here. Better grab my bag and head off..," leaving a last look at the colt, peacefully sleeping.....

"I am SO going to regret this.....,"

Moonsheen whispered under her breath, grunting in the effort of carrying the colt and her bag. She just couldn't leave it there, not in the woods, alone. It was too dangerous, especially at night. She cared about the colt, but carrying it out of there went against her better judgement. If anypony found out about the colt she found, they might see it's eyes....... And with all those rumours and freaky ceremony talk out there it could get ugly. No, she could not risk it.

               She finally found her keys to her flat and dropped her bag inside, careful not to drop the colt unicorn on the ground. Grunting of the effort, she carried the colt into her room, setting it on her bed, carefully as not to wake him. She slowly closed the door to her room, and laid on her couch, thinking. So many questions and no answers to any of them. Exhausted and ready to turn in after a strange and busy day, she rolled over and fell asleep.
