Life Of A Human
Chapter 1 - Fours A Crowd
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSlowly shifting from in and out of consciousness the next few things are hazy. You spot something that oddly looks like a wolf but made out of wood, slipping back out of consciousness you feel pain, not just any pain, but you thought braking a bone was bad. This make that pain feel like it was no worse than falling out of bed. You slowly start to hear faint distorted voices coming from somewhere, you can't tell what they are saying. But you thing to yourself have you been saved? or what ever that was taking you to them. It's not for another few hours do you regain some of your consciousness, you can't really see anything, its like when you try looking out foggy class. All you can tell is that you are in a dark room, and what ever you are lying on isn't the most comfortable but it could be worse, its not till another minute or so till you go back to the void of unconsciousness. You are suddenly awakened from something wet and very cold, gasping loudly you frantically look around to see what just happened. Looking around you don't see anybody there, apart from two buckets lying on the floor next to you. You get closer to them, it turns out one is an empty bucket, which probably had the water what was thrown over you. Examine the bucket it is a sliver bucket with a wooden handle. You then look at the other bucket next to you. It is fill with food. Apples, carrots and the like, you are starving, you haven't had anything since this morning. Picking up an apple taking a bite, you almost drop the apple in shock. It's the best apple you have ever tasted in your like. The texture is completely new, not like the boring taste of apples back home, and boy was it juicy. It doesn't take long for you to devour the apple. That has taken care of most of your hunger strangely.
Deciding to leave the rest for later, you start standing up, when you accidentally hit the bucket with you leg. Screaming out in pain and collapsing to the floor clutching your leg, you feel an incredible amount of pain, almost enough to pass out. Slowly lifting your trouser leg, you examine your leg. Its covered in blood stained bandages, well at least what ever save you from the oak wolves tried to help you some. Slowly pulling your trouser leg back down, trying to not cause a surge of pain again, once its cover back up, a shiver goes up your spine. This time taking your time, carefully, not hitting anything, you stand up. The pain is all but gone, its back down to barely noticeable. Testing out the leg with the finest pressure on it, you wait for the surge of pain..... but it never comes. You happily sigh in relief. Deciding to put more pressure on it from the confidence you got for the first try, again no pain. Putting more and more pressure on the leg, until you are standing on it alone. Satisfied from the result, you give a nod. Picking up the buckets and putting the one with the food in the empty bucket, so it saves space and free's up a hand. You spot a long stink placed right next to a tree, not wanting to risk your leg giving in and having no support, you go and collect the stick. Testing it, if it can take you weight. The wood sighs but doesn't break, not even a crack or fracture. Happy with the stick, surveying your surroundings, behind you is a dark forrest and in front is a town in the distance. Thinking to yourself, a town means civilisation, civilisation mean people, people means help, help means home. Picking up the pace at that thought, wanting to just get home and getting this leg treated. RUSTLE
That stops you in your tracks to a complete stop. In front of you about 22 yards away, out a bush walks three little horse? they look like horse's but their features are different, so you think is pony a better term for them. One of them has a purple mane and a orange coat with wings to match, another is a pure white and light purple with a horn, and the last one yellow and red mane with a bow tied into it. The three of them seem to be talking to them selfs, then they in unison drop their heads. It doesn't take a genius to see they re sad about something. Then it hits you like a train, not only can these horses / ponies can talk, and they show real emotions AND one is a unicorn and the other a frisking Pegasus. Panicking and screaming like a mixture of a girl and grown man, the trio jump out of their skin and spin round to locate where the sound came from. Their pupils go to the size of a pin, their face turn blue and mouths wide open. After a few seconds of looking at you in complete shock, they start screaming and bolt off, to the town leaving dust shaped clouds in their place. You can still hear their screams as they near the town, saying "ARRHH MONSTER!! HELP!!". That gets you out of your panic attack, you try to gather your thoughts. A couple of minutes later, 2 older ponies are running towards you with the small three that run off.
You panic and look for somewhere to hide, the only place you can hide is in the trees, so you run up to the nearest one and climb it as fast as you possible could, dropping the buckets in the process. You watch the group through the tree branches. The group get to where you were standing, the group frantically look around for this monster. Not seeing it the two older ponies look at the younger ones. "But it was right here!" exclaimed the white pony. The other two shout "YEAH!" i unison. The two older ponies look at each other, giving each other a nod and looking back at the there smaller ones. The pony with cyan coat and rainbow mane ask them "you sure you saw a monster? Because I can't see one.", you decide to call her rainbow for her mane. The trio nod their heads up and down. It is then you notice the other pony, not only has wings but a freaking horn, its coat and mane a purple, with a highlight of darker purple in its mane. "Are you sure girls" the purple one asks. Observing the scene the purple on notices the buckets laying on the floor with food scatter across the floor as well. Cursing yourself for not only dropping your only food and two perfectly to use buckets. The buckets are then surrounded in a purple aura, and somehow float to the group, you are about to panic again but cover your mouth with your hands. The purple one looks at the others
"Now i'm not sure you saw a monster girls, maybe you just saw a griffin or something, you not seen before." she says examine the buckets
"BUT TWILIGHT! THIS THING WAS NOT A GRIFFIN! IT WALKED ON ITS HIND LEGS, HAD NO FUR AND IT WAS PROBABLY TALLER THAN EVEN CELESTIA HERSELF" the trio shouted together.
"Well, like I said before, but I have to admit even i've never heard of something like that. But I doubt a monster would be using a bucket to carry its food of vegetables. But i don't know what its capable of and if it's friendly or not."
"I can take it no sweat!" the cyan boasts in a tomb boy voice.
"You don't know that rainbow, if its taller than even princess Celestia then.... Its more than likely very strong, where talking like iron will or stronger. And it appears to be civilised, so its nearly smart as or same as or even possibly smarter than ponies. I don't like this, not knowing a thing." She says in anger at the last bit and sighs. Looking at the smaller ones she tells them "where going back to Ponyville, we can send a search party for it." They all agree and go back to the town. You watch them go out of sight before you start climbing back down. Punching the tree trunk in anger and disappointment in yourself, a few apples drop from the tree. You groan in pain, it appears you may have broken a bone or two in your hand. Suddenly you hear a crack then the next thing you know is the branch, you where sat on, is now falling. It hits you on top of your head and its lights out.
Waking up, you notice you can barely move any of your limbs, it feels ilk they are tied up. Its clear you have been captured, but by who or by what is the better question. You can't see anything, nothing but the void of darkness. You sit there for what seems for ever, until you hear a door creak open. Your about to get answers you think, better to play knocked out to get information you want when they know your awake.
"Its still out?" a voice asks
"What you think we should do with it?" another voice asks
"Ah i recon we should try find to find twilight again, she would know what to do" country sounding voice says
"And not be monster captures! And besides what you think will happen when they find out "(What where you thinking and blah blah blah)" says the first voice you heard in a mocking tone
"But ah don't want to become its dinner, do you? Ah think we....." she stops taking, you think she has notice you are awake.
These are voices are just kids you think to yourself. You don’t want to scare them but enough is enough, using all your might to break free. The three fillies gasp and take a few steps back. What ever they tied you up with isn’t very strong, only after 12 seconds the rope gives way and snaps. With your arms free, you take off the blindfold. You look around for the three fillies; you see that you are in short off a shed or maybe a tree house or something. Because it’s hard to tell from the inside, but on the walls are drawings of various stuff ranging from ponies to maps. There is also furniture scattered across the room. When you finally see them, each of you lock onto each others eyes. After a few seconds the white one faints, and the other two scream as loud as they possibly could. Turning and exiting the room, as quickly as possible not wanting to become deaf at the level of high pitched screaming.
“I swear those three would give those dragon things off lord of the rings it’s run for the money.” You say out loud. THUMP! Jumping in surprise, frantically looking around to see where the sound came from, all you see is apple trees. THUMP! That made you jump slightly, but this time you have a rough idea which way it came from. Moving closer to where it came from, you spot a orange pony with a Stetson. Observing this new pony from behind a tree, carefully not trying to be seen, the orange pony walks up to a tree turns and…. Kicks it with its back legs. Apple start falling into the two baskets laid on the floor next to the tree. “how on earth do she do that, and it would appear so effortlessly” talking to yourself. Suddenly the pony stops and her ears are going crazy, like they are trying to……. You quickly go back to your cover, and trying your best not to make the slightest of sounds. After all you don’t know exactly how good these ponies hearing is. Their hearing could be as good as the ponies from where you from but they are nothing like them or at least what you have seen so far, so why couldn’t things like hearing be different as well. The orange pony shouts something, and a big red pony comes sprinting up, well it would be gallops up to the orange pony. The pair gallops to where you are… SHIT THERE COMING AFER ME is all you can say in your head. They get closer and closer, as your heart beats faster and faster. Waiting for what is bound to happen, you close your eyes as tight as they could go, and clutching yourself into a ball whilst saying “
Please don’t find me” over and over and over and over again. Starting to sweat profusely, breathing heavier, you will collapse soon if this keeps up.
But the events that played through your mind at a thousand miles a hour, never came, looking up from your position, you see the pair running towards where you came from. Now that you can see where you where taken hostage, it’s a small tree house. Realizing what happened, the orange pony heard the scream; call out for that big red one and the pair galloped to the fillies.
“I better get out of here, before they catch me” saying to yourself, to try and get your feet moving. Be lining from away the tree house, not looking where you are going. You run straight into a tree, falling backwards onto your rump. Groaning, you try standing back up with some difficulty. Feeling your head for any cuts or anything that will need your attention, luckily nothing bad but a red mark and a little lump. It just isn’t your day you moan. You most of run for 10 minutes, before running into the tree. Dusting yourself off, you hear a brand new voice singing, this one is elegant and sweet. Walking closer to the new voice, being pulled in like a siren does to sailors, the voice gets clearer and louder, until you can understand every single word. Reaching to where the singing is coming from, you spot a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and butterflies tattoo. The yellow Pegasus seems to be singing to some birds, however soon as one of the birds see you, it what can universally be described as a retreat / get the hell out of here sound, all the birds fly away as fast as their little wings could take them. The yellow Pegasus is confused and a little scared for a few seconds, shrugging her shoulders, she turns to where you are with her head down, almost touching the floor. Slowly trotting over to you, she bumps into your legs, making her cower under her mane and squeaking in surprise. You can see she is shaking like she just saw a ghost, wanting to calm down the Pegasus, you slowly but surely reach down and pat her o the head. This only makes it worse, and she digs into herself more. Retracting your hand, you decided to leave, seeing as this is going no where, and probably never will. Taking a few steps back, trying to not step on any twigs or anything like that.
"FLUTTERSHY WHERE ARE YOU?!" a voice yells, which sounds awfully familiar.
You don't have to wait long for an answer, a blue flash of something races up to where the yellow pegasus is. "FLUTTERSHY THERE YOU ARE! are you ok flutters?" Crack And there it was the inevitable snapping of a twig. The cyan pony jolts upright, "Who's there?" is all she could ask. Luckily for you there was a tree to hide behind, before the pony saw you. Shrugging she turns her attention back to the pegasus. Trying again to get away without any snapping of twigs, you slowly walk backwards. This time succeeding, turning and running to get away from that rainbow pony.
*4 HOURS LATER*
its starting to become night, the sun is slowly defending beyond the orison. Giving off a mixture off yellow's and orange's, and with the night colours added, it only enhances the sunset. You have always liked nights and sunsets, it just always seemed calm. A yawn then escapes your mouth. With bags under your eyes and tiring limbs, you decide to make a make-shift tent. Grapping leaves from bushes and vines hanging of trees, you make the worst make-shift tent you have ever seen. But it will do for a night. Taking of your coat to uses as substitute pillow, slowly drifting off the land of sleep.
