                      Having passed through the portal it still seemed like the sun was setting but the view was replaced by breath taking wilderness and snow capped mountains , The truck kept going until it came to a sudden halt.   Casper kept his position after hearing voices that soon faded away.  Waiting a couple of moments he finally decided to get up and examine the environment.

             Night was beginning to set in, standing up what met his vision was a large camp he was enveloped in the middle of.

         The camp wasn't huge but the distance to a particular village was barely visible by street  lights.

  upon further investigation he was on a elevated surface. Noticing in the distance a train running along the mountain side that led to an impressive palace Which gave him the thought as he viewed it .

               " That would have any certified architect question how those  tower's maintain structural integrity."

                                  "Integrity...."

                     That word caught him off guard.

            Ghost continued to stand on the truck giving in some thought about what he stood for. what were his integrity's .

         "AH" a sharp pain surged through his head like electricity. Having been pulled out of his contemplation he still noticed that he was still on top the truck and people were staring.

  "Better get off this truck"  walking off and dropping behind the left side of the truck hidden from others.

            Ghost recalled Hammond's voice instructing him on what to do "

   "Once you are there you need to go to this specific address 5812 fisher the key to the place is hidden under the door mat. Look for a small town called Pony vile? I don't know just look for a village, your gear is hidden beneath the floor boards along with other goodies that should keep you busy."

         "Real helpful Hammond" thought Ghost as he walked through half the camp to reach the out skirts of the camp itself.

ignoring most the soldiers drunk off their ass or playing sports, music blazing completely disregarding those who tried getting a good night sleep.

"Is all this man power necessary?"

  Having exiting the camp he was sure he walked towards the general direction of the town he spotted when he was on top of the truck. Now walking along the open field until he was met with a pitch black wall of forest.

                    "Now this is not creepy  what so ever"  saying to himself in a sarcastic tone having no choice but to keep walking.  The only thing motivating him to keep moving forward was momentum. He felt like he was being watched and felt helpless, yet fear never came to his mind.

             "Fear..."

            continuing to move forward regardless of not being able to see two feet in front of him. He thought of what fear is like.

         pausing to hear any foreign sounds just in case of anything that goes bump in the night around him, or maybe just stand around to wait for it to maul him....he couldn't distinguish any preference between the two.

            After a good amount of time had past Ghost finally decided that what ever was out there had no interest in him.so he continued on his way with fear in his mind.

"Fear is like a roofless tower, it's very foundation consist of not knowing. and every block is a fear that always has something to do with not knowing. that's why they are able to stay in place, it's reinforced by its foundation....like i don't know if i'll ever walk out this forest alive. being scared is good.....it means you have something to lose.....if i'm not scared....does that mean i have nothing to lose?."

                     Ghost noticed a sliver of light penetrate the darkness. finally leaving the forest, he saw a cottage that looked like an animal shelter, noticing the red painted wood fence. giving little thought to this place he walked around it, just in case any animals sleeping out side do'n't wake up  alert the resident of the shack of his presence.

          "Just my luck, a trail"

walking along it he went back to his thoughts attempting to ease his conscious of his previous thought.

   " Can't be true, people can be scared of ridiculous things like spiders or heights and  they have absolutely no reason to fear them regarding the sense of not knowing."

    "It's just a coincidence yeah....a coincidence fear isn't like a tower or any of that bull shit. I'm scared of something...like...like talking to other people."

         "I have absolutely no reason to be scared of doing that but i'm still scared doing  it."

  [i"]Do you really?"

            "The fu-?"

Do you really have no reason for being scared of that?

            Ghost stopped to check his surroundings. he did not just hear his own voice all he saw is a dirt road and green pastures illuminated by the moonlight...completely alone  convinced he continued walking.

"No ...i don't have a reason."

You can lie to others but you can't lie to yourself, you know damn well you have a reason.

"Ok what the fuck are you and why are you in my head?"

doesn't matter, you might as well be arguing with yourself

                       "what ever. bottom line i don't have a reason for that fear...its just how i am."

oh please quite feeding your self teaspoons of bull shit, it's not about  how you are. it's about why you are..

          we'll get back to that...  now back to your fear.

  " There is nothing to go back to "

Oh yes there is. think about it. you're scared of talking to new people because.....?

"............................Because .........I........I.......I"

Don't know....

              "Because i don't  know .....how ......."

How to talk to new people because you never try to. your scared because you don't know what to expect

  " I'm scared because I...don't know how to talk to new people because i never try to. I'm scared because i don't know what to expect."

There you go.

                     what the fuck? Ghost whispered....What the fuck? he repeated in his normal toned voice. WHAT THE FUCK?

              He shouted.

       "what is this feeling ? , well i feel like my head is light and something is raising in my chest.....what the fuck was that? "

   Ghost couldn't understand how or what just happened. solving a fear ...just like that........but he liked it.

         After some time he finally made it to ponyville. the small town was decently lit. The buildings all looked like something from a dutch town. considering the buildings. after walking around for some time wandering he streets he paid attention to the street signs noticing how they all were horse oriented like "suger cube corner" or "hoofington avnue"

     Ghost began to sigh in frustration, he couldn't find the house on his own. he needed directions or something. To his luck he noticed a local in a weird shade of green hoodie with matching skinny jeans that fit her just right. and she was across the street just walking down the street away from him.

       He was in a innate battle with himself. a small portion of himself urged him to talk to her....well it had to be a her .

         He just paused...blank minded watching her walk away. He sighed in disappointment....not at  missing his only opportunity of help but at himself, incapable of doing something as simple as asking for directions.

  Ghost wondered the town till the sun began to raise and he was still searching. street by street block by block.

until finally he found the street. the morning sun was well in the sky warming everything with its illumination.

"5810......5811.......5812."

with tired eyed he examined his new home....its was an ok 2 story apartment next to some flower shop and other stores.

       not giving a single shit to pay attention to anymore further details he walked to the front on the dark green colored door reaching under the door mat to.......not find the key.

   "fuck my life"

        wanting nothing more to do than just  sleep he was upset to the point he was banging his head against the door.

      "fuck my life , fuck my life, fuck life ,fuck my life" saying this to him as he banged his head to the door over and over again until a cautious toned female voice got his attention.

                    "Um, Sir"

  Ghost didn't push himself off the door when he heard the voice. his head just stuck to the door for a good 3 seconds until he finally pushed his cranium off the door turning around to see a adorably sexy grey colored mare who's blond hair looked extra shiny in the morning sun.

             Staring directly into her eyes, he found her eyes really interesting to look at not only at their  gorgeous color but also they were slightly unaligned. to then examining her body. she wore a brown uniform that would've looked liked she worked for  UPS if it weren't for her brown short shorts that clung to her body to appreciate her curves.

  "Umm err" the mare couldn't help but blush and look away breaking their gaze .as the young man continued to  stare her down,

    "The fucks the matter with you haven't you seen a upset house resident before?"

    "Oh you live here?" the mare  asked in a nervous tone, a bit uncomfortable for being yelled at,

   "NO I JUST FUCKING HAPPEN TO BE BANGING MY FUCKING HEAD ON A DOOR TO A HOUSE I DON"T LIVE IN"

sleep deprivation was starting to take its toll on the soldier.

      "Oh I-uh I'm s-s-sorr-ry" the mare began stuttering trying to  hold back tears , she didn't mean to make him angry why was he venting it on her?

      "W-W-WELL S-Sor-r-r-y doesn't change the fact that I'm locked out"   mocking her by mimicking her, ghost was starting to become a real dick.

          The mare began to sob in front of his apartment.

       "WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU CRYING FOR?!?! HUH??

      Early commuters began to stare as Ghost noticed this he looked away from the mare and he continued. to yell.

       "THE FUCK YOU LOOKING AT!!"

      every witnessed went back to their business, shop keepers continued to stock shelves. walkers kept walking

Ghost heard a soft fwump and when he looked where for where the sound came from the mare was gone and in her place was a key tied to a necklace.

  piecing two and two together he picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole...it fit and the door unlocked.

opening the door he stepped in slamming the door not even bothering to lock the door as he preyed for something to sleep on. stepping to the left from the entrance and making a right he guessed he was in the living room.

     but he found his prize a modern looking  white couch. Ghost feel asleep before he even hit the soft object when he jumped for it.
