Chapter 2 : The Nightmare

The night sky was clear and Wind Walker just stood there sleeping as the leaves started falling suddenly. The calm gloomy wind turned swiftly into a more agitated wind that hit every thing viciously. The night seemed disturbed as every bit of light soon got covered by black clouds. A dark shape seemed to materialize out of thin air creating a creature of darkness
It’s walk was slowly , each step seemed to kill the earth beneath it’s hoof. Soon as it walked closer to Wind Walker , the night only grew darker and every thing turned black with only the creatures green eyes lighting a path towards Wind Walker.
Wind Walker could feel every thing , but his fear was so overwhelmingly strong that it mad his eyes not open. The creature stood there watching Wind Walker shake in fear , rather amused the creature didn’t make a sound it just stood there.
There was no one to help him. No one there for him. Wind Walker knew that nobody will come and in this isolated forest his screams of fear and pain would mean nothing , he could either hope that the creature before him will leave or he could get up and fight it back.

With nothing to lose Wind Walker stood up with his wings spread ready to try any mean to survive this creature. He would not let anypony , stand in his way and he is not willing to let a creature created out of darkness to do it.
He locked eyes with the only thing that was making light in the forest. And suddenly a part of the darkness started to twist and turn , the green eyes where in the middle of a darkness storm , they where giving hope as they illuminated. But the darkness didn’t stop from twisting and soon the green eyes just closed down.

Wind Walker was in such fear that he couldn’t control him self. His heart was beating at such a speed he never felt before , his mind started racing thoughts after thoughts like a machine. Now completely in the darkness Wind Walker could feel nothing but fear and his cold sweat running down his back.

The clouds started to go away making the moon shine upon the forest and now Wind Walker could see what was in front of him. A cloud of darkness and in the middle of it there seemed to be a black creature with the same green eyes as before.
Soon darkness closed in the creature and like a cloud of smoke the darkness , around the creature , started to rise. And the creature could be clearly seen now.

It was black darker than any night , it had strong green eyes with a strong light like the moon it’s self. His body had holes and it seemed that the creature had transparent oval wings.

Seeing the sight Wind Walker frozen again in fear as the creature rushed towards him only to stop when it got face to face to Wind Walker. The creature seemed to grin and suddenly a dark green glow surrounded it.

Wind Walker was frozen when the creature in front of him transformed into him self. Out of fear Wind Walker started running like crazy in the middle of the forest. With the fake Wind Walker following behind him.

He could not feel his hoofs , but he didn’t care as he could feel the creature closing up to him. He desperately started flapping his wings like a mad pony. But he couldn’t fly in this moment , his wing’s were too fatigued after so long since he didn’t use them

The fake Wind Walker was next to him , and as he turned his head to look at it , he saw that the creature could fly at such high speeds that it got in front of him , having Wind Walker turn to the right only to get away.

But soon it seemed that the creature stopped giving chase. Tired off the chase Wind Walker takes a long break. Now so many weird thoughts start racing his mind. But one thought above all else was dominating his mind. “What was that?”
But after all the chase now Wind Walker realized some thing that was more frightening than the darkness that was chasing him. “Where am I?”

-

For the rest of the night Wind Walker wandered crazy around Everfree Forest , getting scared by every falling leaf and little blow of wind.

Night time was close to an end and the Everfree Forest was calm and quite like never before. With no animal or creature around trying to eat or simply hunt down Wind Walker.

Not able to find his way back Wind Walker walked in circles for hours upon hours and now found him self nowhere.
Was this his end? To die in a forest forgotten by everypony? Is this what destiny had in store for him? But soon all those thoughts left place to some thing stronger , some thing above all those thoughts. They all left space to hope as the morning sun started rising.

“Such beauty” Wind Walker gazed upon the beautiful sun rising.

He soon figured that it was morning and that he wasted a night wandering around the forest.

The lack of sleep only made him wonder “Was that creature even real?”

But the answer to that question would have to wait. Wind Walker was tired and sleepless , he needed to figure a way to get out of the forest.

Knowing that going back would mean nothing as the road he took there was without a doubt worthless as he couldn’t remember the path to take.

With a sigh he remembered he was a Pegasus , a hoof tired , wing tired , scared-to-death Pegasus.
He knew that his wings could not hold him for that long. He didn’t used them since trying to catch the train. But he knew that if he flaps his wings strong enough and with some luck air might be able to lift him. But flaps and air wouldn’t be enough to get him from the ground. He needed some thing else. He needed speed.

He turned his back and walked away what seemed like a mile and stopped. Knowing this will be his only chance before dying out of starvation and lack of sleep he starts running as fast as his hoofs could let him after that hard night.
His hoofs started hurting like crazy just after a few steps but he didn’t want to give up. So he started running more viciously while using his wings to lift him self up.

It was only pure luck that he manage to lift him self up in the air , with his hoofs still dangling through the air he didn’t notice he was flying until he saw the sky and nothing more.

Since he lost a lot of energy his flight was not the fastest and not the most gracious for that matter. But he could manage to get away from the forest so for now that was good.

Yet he had no place to go. He knew no one besides those two weird ponies. And most importantly he has no food.

Looking in the distance he could see rivers, mountains, hills, and most importantly he could also see a town and farm far off in the distance.

With his hope high that the town before him was Ponyville , he directed his flight towards the town. Maybe there he can find his destiny.

Author's Note

Wow this chapter was lost and found and lost and found again until I finished it

This one was harder to write as well because I'm a big fan of dialog and doing things more action related is not my speciality

Anyway hope you enjoyed it
