A real big problem.

"Is that the name of your planet?" She asked waiting for me to answer.

All I could do was nod, while lost in thought. My home...my frie-wait I didn’t like anyone at that school. My Da-...I sure as hell as hell I wasn't to miss that bastard. And life over there sucked! Here I could start over fresh! But I had to be good with the locals; I cut the crap and start to get serious.

"Look! Twilight is it?" I asked as she flinches.

"I’m sorry for aggravating you, I really am! I was just having a really bad day back in my world...Actually it's a bad day for me on earth every day."

"Get to your point" Twilight said in annoyance.

"Can we start fresh? Please untie me, and I swear to...whoever it is you see a deity, that I will not hurt anyone! I promise! And if you do I’ll answer whatever questions you have for me, no matter how long or ridiculous they are!" I pleaded hoping for her to consider my offer.

Twilight sat therefore a while, putting a hoof on her chin with the "Tempting, tempting"  look on her face.

"Can you excuse me, I have to consult your proposal to my friends. “She heads to her friends, and start to huddle. Leaving me on this tree soaked wet trembling.

"What do you think? Can we trust him?"

"Heck no! He's from another world! We don’t know what he's capable of!" Rainbow Dash nearly yells in her whisper.

"Ah agree, that thing over there had some sharp object in his weird sheath. For all we know it could have tried to assassinate me!" She says anxiously.

"But if that truly was his intention, wouldn’t it have had that sharp thing from its sheath and not in it?" Rarity asks.

"Good point, but still. Pinkie? “Twilight turns to Pinkie Pie

"He seems somewhat decent, I mean he looks scary, but maybe we shouldn’t be judgmental on his appearance" Pinkie who is trying to be optimistic of this unknown creature.

"Hmm..." She looks down for a sec before facing Flutter shy. "Flutter shy what do you-" She sees that her friend is not huddled with the rest her. "Flutter shy?!" The five turn and panic at what she is doing, Shock, and horror written all over their faces.

"Are you okay now? Mister Creature?" Flutter shy asks as she unties me form the tree, Before I could fall over I quickly get pinned against the tree by some unknown force around me. Grunting loudly at hitting the tree again, this was getting old quick.

"Ngh! What the!? What is this!?" I yelled as I struggled.

"It's my magic!” She yells as she approaches me. "You tricked her to untie you! I knew we couldn’t trust you!" Before she could continue, Flutter shy stops her at her misunderstanding.

"Twilight, Wait! He didn't trick me. I willingly untied him whit out him asking me!" She almost yelled, in my defense. Twilight had a huge shock at what she had just hear from Flutter shy.

"What?! Flutter shy, this isn't one of your animal friends! This thing he could be-"

"Stop calling him a thing! He's not some mindless Ursa Minor he's just scared, cold, wet." She flies right next to me, nuzzling my cheek. Her coat felt smooth and she smelled nice.

"See? Not even a growl from my approach to him, he's just a misunderstood...Human right?" I try to nod, but his magic around me won’t let me move an inch.

"Look, I know to you he seems nice, but we don't know for sure if he truly is a good Human. We’ll have to take him to Canterlot to study him and-"

"Study?!" I yelled before she could finish. A lot of things came to mind when she said "Study". She could take me to a lab and have me dissected! Or worse she could force me to do horrifying things that could have me killed! That's it! I wasn't going to take this. I struggled to free myself from her magic; I could feel moving more freely as I struggle to escape her hold on me.

"Hey stop!" Twilight yells at me trying to maintain her focus on keeping me pinned to the tree, while I struggle even harder" "Girls! I can't hold it! It's breaking free!" She yells in panic trying her hardest not to let me go.

"Grahhh!!!" I roared as I broke free from her hold on me, as I slowly get up, I can see the horror in their faces as I tower over them. I quickly ran the opposite direction, away from those horses. As I run, I hear the elderly mare yell.

"Big mac, Take him down!"

I could hear enormous hooves stomping the ground while running, I turn my head to see the bulking red horse charging me with anger in his eyes. He was closing in on me; I had to think of something quick. I see a tree at the direction I was running, an idea hatched in my head. I make my way to the tree stopping ten feet away. I turn and face the huge beast that was bent on running me down, I put myself in a ready to jump position, waiting for the horse to come and destroy me. He's only a few feet away, now is my chance! I run towards the horse hoping that this would work.  His head was low in a ramming position which made it much easier for me to put my hands on the back of his neck, and flip over him. I see utter shock in his face trying to process what had just happened, before he could, he then sees that he's heading for the tree, seeing that he's going full speed ahead it's far too late for him to stop. He clashes with the tree and nocks it right over lying on the trunk I could tell he's seeing stars after that. I knocked him out barley using physical force, I felt proud.

I approach to see if he's still breathing, I cautiously approach the side of the fallen tree where the big horse lied. I put my hand on his side to feel if he is actually  breathing, I waited...I don't feel anything but before I could, I hear a big groan coming from the horse. I jump back quickly almost crapping bricks!

I then hear a huge high pitched scream; I quickly look and see the six mares. But what caught my attention was that the orange mare with a cowboy hat was heading right for me, she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Big mac!!!!" She had rage and tears in her eyes.

I felt an alarm go off in my head saying danger, danger, it was time to continue my running, up ahead I see a dark forest. I felt hesitant but I feel more fear here than that place. Spooky forest it is then. I thought to myself as I quickly dash for safety from these mares, but there was worse danger in the forest.

__________________________________________________________________________________

I'm starting to regret the decision I've made, this was a bad idea. I’m running through a freaking dark and scary forest! I have no idea where I’m going, and the sun is setting fast. I have to find the exit on the other side of this labyrinth of death, while running I stop for a sec to catch my breath. Breathing heavily I could feel eyes all over me, I hear twig snap and I quickly jump to a bush and hide from whatever is coming. I can hear voices getting closer, and closer, I take one quick peak to see who or what was coming.

It was the freaking mares, but only two of them, the yellow kind one who was so nice to me, and the orange cowgirl who was out for blood. How did I know? She had killer in her eyes, like a hound dog she's searching stone, trunk, and trees to find me.

"When I find that no good dirty creature, I’ ma give him the bucking of a life time!" She yelled, wait, bucking? What the hello kitty did that mean? I thought to myself.

"Applejack I really don't think the human was capable of doing that back there." Flutter shy said in a low voice.

"Oh yes he is Flutter shy! The thing is probably capable of a lot of things! Luckily we only have one here in Equestria." She said in in relief, but still with anger. Not focusing where she is walking, she then stumbles in a tiny hole and sprains her leg. She yelps and falls over.

“Ah! Flutter shy, I’m stuck!" She screams as she tries to pull her leg out the hole. It's in there pretty deep.

"Shh! Applejack, you don't want to wake up the whole neighborhood, and from what I can tell this is a real bad neighborhood!" She says in anxiety.

It was quite amusing at first seeing the orange mare stuck and a little hurt, I was sure to get away just fine. Before I could leave I smelled an awful stench that almost made me hurl, I then hear a growl. I froze in place, and once again almost crapping bricks.

I see a big wolf like figure emerge from the bushes fifteen feet away from the two mares, what caught my eye was that this thing wasn't normal, it was made of wood, green eyes, and-Urg! Really bad breath! So that's where it came from?

Two mares froze in place as they saw the big wolf slowly but menacingly approach its prey, my heart started to race like crazy. I was scared, not for my life but for the mares, I wanted to help them, but if I did, they would take me and do whatever horrors they have planned for me. I was conflicted; should I help, or let them die at the claws of this beast. I don’t know, I don’t know!

The wolf then starts to speed up to pounce on the two mares, my body reacts.  I jump out of the bushes and jump in for a huge kick that nocked the wolf to its side knocking him pretty far. I turn to see the two mares in shock at what just happened, the monster just saved their lives, I look back and see the wolf getting up and fixes his eyes right on me. He had a vibe coming from him, saying "I’m going to get you for that!". I notice two big rocks right in front of my feet that I could grip, seeing as this thing is made of wood, I’ll have to use something rock solid too equal to this thing. I pick them up and get ready.

I turn my head to face to two mares that are still in shock, and really scared out of their minds.

I hear the wolf growl and focus my attention back to him, he then starts charging right at me, and I start charging at full speed, I try to think of something quick as I close in on the beast, then it hits me. I jump, and while lifting one of my arms in the air I swing down with momentum from the jump, bashing the head of the beast dazing it for a few moments. I quickly swing with all the strength I could summon from this body, bashing it left and right, giving blows that would hopefully nock it out. Turns out I just made it angry; before I could land another blow it bites my left forearm. Screaming in pain while the wooden teeth of this fowl beast sinks into my flesh and muscles, blood starts to pour from me, I then start to get angry, I grab the back of its neck to try and pry it off, I was only making it worse as it clamps down harder, I could hear my bones crunching making me scream even louder that the whole world could hear it.

As I try to pry it off I hear rustling, and a growl from my behind me, before I could turn, I feel something pounce right on my back and bite down on the left side of my chest above my shoulder. It was another one I could feel the agonizing pain running through my mind, and I could hear more bones crunching causing me to scream once again, I fall over, as I fell the two wolves start tearing me apart, one pulling my fore arm, while the other pulls the opposite direction. I start to tear as the two beast play tuggle war, with my body being the rope.

My vision darkness, I could feel myself slipping away from life itself and moving closer to death. As I fade I hear a voice in my head, I must be imagining it from the blood loss.

"Leo...you are going to die, unless you unleash your demise will be certain..."

"What?" I reply to the voice.

"You must rage to unleash, you have been bottling up the rage inside you for a very long time, you will never truly reach your potential unless you unleash, unleash!"

"No, I can’t! I don't want to be like my father!"

"This is nothing like your father Leo, he only did it when he wanted without reason, but you have reason Leo. You must unleash in order to survive, do it, and do it now!!!" The voice started to get louder.

"I...I...."

"NOW!!!"

I feel like something has awakened inside my body, something trapped for far too long. I regain my vision; I then see the two beasts are still trying to tear me to pieces. With my free arm I grab the snout of the wolf on my forearm and crush it. It quickly backs of trying to recover from the grip I had on it. I pry the other one's mouth open, I then get back on my feet while keeping my grip on the wolf as it tries to break free. I grab the jaw, and pry the mouth open once again, only to tear it's jaw right out from it. It lets out a large yelp, I swing the jaw with it's fangs teeth facing down,right into its wooden skull piercing right through it, It stops struggling and falls limp, the green from its eyes fade in to black as I drop the body of this beast.

I turn to see that the other wolf has recovered; it sees its fallen friend motionless on the ground. It lets out an angry loud growl that starts to shake the trees a little, I try to think of something before this wolf charges me. My body has taken to much damage I can't fight it head on.I look back to see of the mares are okay, they're alright, but all I could see from their expressions was horror, I guess it was because I was covered in blood, and torn up, I also notice a huge boulder right behind me which gives me big idea. I turn back to the wolf noticing that it wasn’t charging at me yet, perhaps I needed to taunt him to make him come to me.

I pick up the rocks that laying on the ground, then I bash them together two times, it seems to have worked, now it's coming right at me. I drop the rocks and ready myself, as it comes closer, it takes a huge leap towards me reaching out it's paws at me, I grab the paws and lie on my back going with the force the was directed at me, with my feet on its stomach, I rock my body to where the wolf had charged and push my legs as hard as I can sending him flying towards the boulder using his momentum against him. At the moment he makes contact with the boulder he shatters like glass with the pieces scattered everywhere, I won the battle.

I look the see the two mares trying to absorb what had just happened right in front of their eyes. They looked at me for a long time, I then realize I was trying to get away from them, but instead saved them. I turn my back and start walking the other way; I then heard one of them called out to me.

"Wait!" Fluttershy yelled.

I turn a little to glance at the yellow mare.

"Don't go! You're too hurt to go off on your own! If you do you’ll pass out from blood loss, just wait till my friends arrive, I’m sure they heard all the commotion!" She pleaded for me to stay and wait for her friends.

I looked at her in silence for a while; I then gave her my answer.

"I,ll risk the monster infested forest than getting tied to a tree..." I start to limp away, getting far as possible. What am I thinking. I barley survived back there, who knows what else could be in here.

While Fluttershy tries to help get Applejack free her leg from the whole, she notices her friends coming, Fluttershy runs up to Twilight in tears.

"Twilight pleases help, Applejack is stuck and I can't get her out!" She turns to face her defenseless friend.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, I'll just use my magic to widen the hole so she can free herself.

" Her horn glows and the hole then widens like a mouth yawning, Applejack pulls out her leg but stays of it trying not to strain it as it's sprained. Twilight then notices the mess in front of her, she sees a timber wolf broken into many pieces too small to be put back together, and the other one was lying motionless on the ground with its jaw stuck on its head, which made Twilight extremely nervous at the site before her, she gulps before she speaks.

"What...What happened here?" She spoke with a lot of anxiety in her voice.

"It was...It was the creature! While Applejack was stuck, a Timber wolf came out and almost pounced us! But  before it could the creature jumped out and struck to timber wolf, he then said that he would protect us, he started fighting it using those two rocks!" She points at the two stones. "Then the timber wolf bit his front leg I think, before he could strike the wolf with another blow he was jumped by another Timber wolf! It jumped on his back and clamped down on him! He fell over and then the two wolves started tearing him apart, it was awful!" She nearly breaks into tears.

"But he grabbed one of them on the snout a crushed it to make one of them back off, allowing him to grab the snout of the other! Then he pulled out his jaw and slammed it in it's skull, After that he threw the other one to that boulder as hard as he could!" She nearly runs out of breath after she explained what she has witnessed.

Her friends had their jaws nearly dropped at what they just heard, they stood there for a while quiet, and then Twilight broke the silence.

"Where is he now?" She asked.

"He limped away after I offered him that we would help, he said no and left just like that..." She hangs her head in sadness.

"Where did he wander to?"

Fluttershy points at the direction at where the human went, as Twilight makes her way her horn glows to see where she is going. She then sees a lot of blood, she then notices that she's standing on a puddle of it which causes her to scream and jump.

She calls out to the others to follow her as they try to avoid the blood on the ground, they follow the trail of blood for a while, it then leads behind a tree. They slowly they approach cautiously and see that the human is leaning on a tree in pain completely passed out, letting out huge gasps.

Twilight is the first to approach, she pokes me with her hoof to see if I’m awake, she sees that I’m breathing but also that I'm out cold. They look in utter shock seeing that I was in worse shape than they thought.

"Is...Is he alive?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"He's breathing but he's passed out."

"We need to take him to the hospital!" Rarity yells out.

"But how are we going to get him there?" Pinkie asks

Twilight thinks for a moment, and she figures something out.

"We'll have to drag them out of here..."

Kind of simple don't you think?
