Here is now my part to the YHaY-verse. Remember, this plays in the Griffon Kingdom where Humans are not more as food. There will also more gore, blood and death as by the "peacful" ponys.
Reading only when you are 18 or older.
I found an Editor how is willing to work with me (and my EVIL grammatic mistakes). I wish to thank LordTwinklesprinkle for his work.

Your Human and You: Hunter and Prey
Chapter 1
"I´ll go out for a while." I say to my mother as I get out the door.
"Don't come back too late for dinner!", she shouted behind me.
I was taking a stroll through the forest near my home. I come here often to train with my throwing knives where I couldn't hurt someone if I missed my target. I wasn't the most athletic guy... not even half good in shape. But I think I could give an opponent a run for his money. When it comes to fighting, REAL fighting, I have stamina. But otherwise it´s not much with me to do.
I play video games, eat fast food and "train" with my different close combat weapons. I don't know if I was good at this (I think, I´m not), because I never had an opponent. And I don't know if I really want one. I didn't know if I was willing to hurt or even kill an opponent... It looks all so easy in the games. "There is a bad guy, go and kill him with a few mouse clicks."
I had just finished my thoughts and collected my knives as the wind changed and got stronger. The leaves around me started to circle me and I was blinded by a white light.
I felt my consciousness leave me and I fell to the ground.
As I regained my consciousness I found myself in a part of the forest that I didn´t know and it was getting dark.
I tried to see the way or some signs. But there was nothing. Then, in the distant, I heard some voices.
"Maybe some walkers", I thought
I ran towards the voices until I could make out what they were saying. But what I heard... scared me...
"It was a good hunt, brother. We have plenty of humans for our dinner!", said a masculine voice.
I stopped dead in my tracks and didn't move. I listened to them and hoped I had misheard them.
"You are right, brother. Let us take them home. We can clean them there, so that they stay fresh longer.", said another male voice.
I looked around and decided to hide before I slowly started to advance towards the voices. I hid behind a tree and made myself as small as possible. I looked around the tree and the picture I saw burned itself into my head. On a little clearing in the forest hanging from a branch with their feet in a sling, were three naked Humans! Two males and a female. But what REALLY let my blood freeze was... their throats... they were cut open. They were hung up so they could bleed out as if they were just animals.
My eyes went to a bush where a Creature came from behind with another Human in a sling. This Human was alive. He had an arrow stuck in his leg. But my eyes were fixed on the creature which pulled the struggling Human. The creature, was a GRIFFON!!!
What the fuck was going on? Was I hallucinating? Griffons don´t exist!
I had no other choice as to hide behind the tree in fear these Griffons could hear me and decide to hunt a bit more. I heard as they brought the Living Human to the other three, lifting him up in the air...and then slicing his throat, too.
I heard the sound of Flesh being cut by a knife.
As he was bleeding out, the Griffons talked to jump the time.
"We will bring them back home for the Barbecue with the Family. They will be happy to eat fresh Human meat." Said one of the Griffons.
"My little son can´t get enough of Human ribs. Especially with our secret-hot-sauce." I heard another one saying.
I tried hard to get my stomach under control... and managed it.
I heard as they talked a bit more about different recipes for different parts of the Human body.
I lost the feeling of time as I was forced to hear them discuss if the brain should be slow cooked in its own liquid or eaten raw. Or used for pastries as dessert.
I think it was after an hour or two that they decided to take their prey and fly home. I sat there for nearly two more hours before I decided to get out of my hiding place. The Griffons where gone and the only hint of the Humans was where the blood formed a pool under the tree.
"FUCK! What am I going to do now?" I said... or better, that was what i was trying to say. I opened my mouth like I was talking but no sound came out. Now I was REALLY freaking out. I tried to scream and that seemed to work. After I got down from my little panic attack, I tried different sounds. I could grumble, giggle and even laugh. But no proper word came out.
"What the... I think I have bigger problems than my voice!" I thought as I looked back to the still present puddle of blood.
I looked around and decided to go deeper into forest. These Griffins are flyers and when the trees stand closer together it would be more difficult for them to find me.
First off: I needed to calm down and then think what was necessary to survive. I was clearly no longer on earth.
Ok, I thought, first I need to make a checklist of the things I have.
I looked in my backpack and found a few things which could help.
I made a mental list of the things I found:
1) A 500 meter roll of fishing line.
2) A whetstone for my knives.
3) A flashlight.
4) My sketchbook and a few pens.
5) Eight throwing knives with rings on the end.
6) A lighter.
Alright, that's what I have. What will I need?
1) Food and water.
2) Shelter.
3) WORLD DOMINATION!
...
4) A VERY good psychologist...
Didn´t look so good. By the way how fast it got darker, I figured that I should first find shelter and in the morning I would search for something edible and fresh water.
I made my way through the forest and searched for a good place to stay spend the night. I had my camouflage weather jacket on which protectet me from the wind.
I was lucky that it didn´t... no. No, I will NOT say it! I know how this works!
I walked for maybe an hour before I found what looked like a good place to sleep in. A tree how surrounded by large thorn bushes. I looked around to find a way through the bushes. I found a small, open space between the bushes and the tree. I got out again and found a few sticks and leaves to hide the entrance. I got myself comfortable in the small space and held my knives nearby ... maybe this was all just a bad dream and I will wake up in my bed.
