There is no way...that a place for me exists in this world, or anywhere else. My final actions to save it has proven that as I find myself leaving this world the same way I came in.

Descending.

Descending into the icy murky waters that was breaking my reducing to ashes body apart, watching my glowing engraved veins slowly fade as my heart rate began to slow and my vision began to blur.

I've reached my limit, I can't go any further as I was left in this miserable state to die. All I could do was helplessly sink deeper and deeper as I watched the black sun regain its original luminance that was currently melting the ice. All that nearly drove everything into its first ice age. I put this world's and its inhabitant’s health over my own desire.

Desire I almost lost myself in to find...somewhere I belong.

A paradise.

They say that in this world that every being eventually finds their own paradise, and live the rest of their days in happiness if their heart is pure and in the right place.

However, there was no such thing as a paradise for me. I desperately searched for it, but no matter how far I looked or walked, it was always the same. It just goes on and on continuing to elude me. My paradise that didn't exist...it didn't exist and I knew this...so why, why am I so driven to find it? Why do I have to keep lying to myself thinking that it’s actually waiting for me out there somewhere?

Maybe it's because of my final moment to live I was having these thoughts. It's sad really, but at the same time laughable.

As my heart neared its final beat, I can clearly see my life flashing before my eyes. To that fateful day that had started it all, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Three years ago on Earth.

Have you ever woken up in the morning remembering the things that have happened in your life, wondering where it is your existence is going from here? Lying in that spot thinking about both future and past. How today was going to go was no mystery to me, with my luck it would either go the same or worse, and I was mostly hoping for same than worse. Slowly getting out of bed to a gray morning, I got up stretching my limbs, putting on my old clothes on and brushing my teeth, preparing for breakfast, however as I descended from upstairs of my room I saw my dad at the kitchen table with one hand on his head and the other on a beer. Figures, even after drinking nearly six fosters last night he still managed to wake up early on the morning just to get his hands on a beer...what a perfect way to start the morning with.

I cautiously entered the kitchen as not to provoke his hangover, slowly opening the fridge door and grabbed a V.8. and head to school as quickly as possible to avoid dealing with sorry excuse for a father's crap. But before I made my way out I was stopped in my tracks, my dad's grip around my bicep is what kept me in place from advancing. I looked back to see what why he stopped me, and as I figured I saw an expression of anger.

"Leo...what time is it?" He spoke in an angry tone as he gritted his teeth, his grip tightening around my arm.

"I-It's six...why?" I asked while his eyes were locked with mine, slowly getting up from his seat, his expression getting angrier as he began to loom over me.

"I was supposed to be at work an hour ago, but I can't seem to find my keys. Where are they?" He spoke in a deadly tone.

"W-what?" My studder seemed to have provoked him as he back handed me as hard as he could nocking backwards.

He then furiously stomped towards me as I tried to crawl away, he turned me on my back and grabbed me by the shirt, picking me and slammed me up against the wall dropping my drink.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE MY KEYS!!!" He roared at me while spit was getting on my face smelling his vulgar beer breath.

"I-I d-don’t know where...” He then pulled me back from the wall and slammed me even harder against it feeling it crumple behind me as air escaped my lungs.

"You better start telling me what I want to hear or else I'm gonna kick your ass!!!" All I could do was cough from the slam as he shouted at me, he again pulled me from the wall but only this time he threw me on the coffee table in the living room. The legs breaking as I landed above it, I got a bad gash on my right cheek and started to bleed, I could feel it.

I could also feel something under my hand, I slowly opened my eyes and lift my hand and see my dad's keys. They were under the couch where he passed out after drinking his sixth beer where the cans where surrounding the couch. I could hear him make his way towards me, ready to unleash his unrelenting wrath. I quickly turned on my back and put my hand up holding the keys showing them that I found them, as my last chance to get my father to cease his beat down on me.

"Look! See, they were under the couch where you slept last night!" I said as I was still trembling at my father's drunken rage with his fist raised.

He swiped the keys from my hands. He stood there for a moment staring at his keys in his hand and then glancing back at me. He walked into the hall way to the bathroom door, after a few moments he returned with a towel in his hand and threw it at me.

"Clean yourself up." He said in a disgusted tone, with a look of pure contempt.

He exited the house as though nothing had happened heading for work, leaving me alone. I just sat there in the middle of the living room staring blankly into space rubbing the gash with my towel putting pressure on it. After stopping the bleeding I crawled towards the wall where I had been slammed grabbing my V.8. that I had dropped.

I slowly getting back on my feet with my hand against the wall, I just stood there staring down at the floor after what happened just now I couldn't help but contemplate everything in my life. I have been dealing with this as a small child ever since my mother had died; she was driving home from work late at night after having to work over time, some guy with a gun stopped her car and dragged my her out into the road and then shot her on the head. The weird thing was when the police arrived was that the car was still there and everything in it, and my mother's belongings were still on her. Knowing that made me shake in anger as the event forced me on my knees to despair and cry, why would someone kill a person just for the sake of killing? It didn't make any sense, it just made me disgusted at how we the 'human beings' did these things to each other.

It filled me with sadness but mostly with anger, not knowing what the man looked like. The thought of not tracking him down and sending him to justice was more than enough to make my mind spiral as all this was happening to me as a child. I was there at the funeral when they put my mother into the earth. I was the only one there, my old man didn't even bother to show up as he was at Las Vegas with his friends while all this was happening. He was informed but he just didn't care to make the trip back to Colorado after his 'winning streak' until he lost everything, idiot.

Pulling myself from that memory I looked down at my hand holding the V.8. staring at my own reflection. I just gazed as these thoughts were running through my head, 'why did I have to lose my mother as a child, and was I going to be dealing with this for the rest of my life?' The thought was enough to make me burst into tears against the wall and grit my teeth at this sufferment I had dealt with all my life. I'm eighteen and still nothing has changed, it was as if there was no future for me just the present, the same cruel unfair present. It made me doubt that this future thing didn't really exist for me. I stared at the crater on the wall where I was pinned absentmindedly as I let my contemplation of life control my emotions and subconsciously punch right through it releasing a fragment of my purged rage.

"Damn it..." I whispered to myself.

Grabbing my back pack and my throwing knife I headed out to school, it was one of those days where the morning is grey and quiet making it more depressing. I took my usual route where I didn't have to deal with people saying 'hi' or 'what happened to your face?!' It was irritating until I found my own course to take. It was in the woods where it was quiet and peaceful and away from human contact which I loathed. I wasn't a very sociable person when I first came into the U.S. from Mexico, especially since the passing of my beloved mother.

Here in the woods I felt at peace, my mind and soul were at calm state where my anger and depression and maybe a hint of madness were washed away with the beautiful scenery. But I always brought my knife in case an animal tried to attack me as a precaution. While I was walking and enjoying everything around me sipping my V.8. I noticed a strange figure far up ahead standing there, I couldn’t get a clear look at it as my vision started to blur abruptly but the figure was feminine. Probably someone taking the same path I was, maybe it was nothing to be worried about.

I kept my pace walking further down the path, but as I did my body felt hefty, like some kind a force was pushing down on me forcing me to stop in my tracks. What's happening? Why did it feel like I'm carrying two hundred pounds? I was starting to sweat like crazy getting on one knee trying to stay conscious as the whole world spun. The world's spiraling whirl halted sharply as the sounds of a feminine voice echoed through the woods.

"You're just too violent..."

I couldn't make out what it said but I could feel her nearing. Her voice was becoming much more clearer.

"You're just too violent..."

Did I hear that right, did it say I was violent? I started to hear footsteps coming closer to where I was kneeling, the sounds of twigs and dead leaves crunching beneath her feet. For the life of me I just stayed still, I couldn’t move. It was as if was paralyzed, I froze in fear as a soft hand touched my shoulder, it felt slender and soft, yet firm. I then heard a hum in front of me, all of a sudden her hand was put under my chin as she tilted my head up wards in a slow delicate manner and that is when I saw her.

A woman in a black cloak with pale white skin and golden eyes smiling at me with kindness and care, she was so beautiful. But I felt a disturbing vibe from her as my body was begging me to run from this woman. I don't know why but I could feel she was dangerous, she slowly caressed my chin, her soft touch traveled my cheek caressing it tenderly and lovingly. She kept her smile in silent for a moment until finally she said something that nearly stopped my heart.

"You're just too violent..."

She then stood up and walked away down the path I was heading until her form was no more, after she had gotten far enough from my sight my body was able to move again. Gasping loudly for breath, I quickly pulled out my throwing knife and stood up to turn to where the woman had went. She was gone just like that, it was as if she vanished into the woods.

I noticed something from where she once stood. I saw a weird yet beautiful flower; its petals where big and crimson and there where smaller petals behind the big ones. I don't know why but I knew it had something to do with her, so I neared it with caution still with my knife out just in case the woman in black came back to do her voodoo. Close enough to the flower I slowly reached out to touch the strange plant's crimson petals, at contact I felt something strange on my thumb and finger started to tingle and quickly spread all over my arm to my chest.

I quickly pulled my hand away as I staggered back landing on my backside, there was something wrong with flower, something ominous about it that made my heart want to break out of my chest and head for the hills. "God damn it, what the hell was that all about?" I whispered as I shook my head to regain my composure, I put my knife back in my sheath and glanced to where the flower still stood. I don't know why but the sensation that I had felt from the flower vanished, however I could still feel remnants of it in my chest, it felt odd and disturbing.

Lost in thought I quickly realized that I was supposed to be heading to school. I put my knife in my back pack before heading out, quickly I sprinted down the road to my destination that I was not looking forward to. With the teachers kissing the ass of their football jockeys letting them do whatever they want to the individuals that fit don't in (namely me) just because they were good at a foolish sport that involved smearing into other guys, if you ask me it sounded gay. I hope that at least I have a better day at school.

Sitting at lunch after a boring long class of world history eating into my cheeseburger and hash brown I notice everyone praising one of the football players at a different table. He was the second best in his team but he seemed okay with it. Before I could continue eating my lunch I suddenly had milk spilled all over my head, quickly getting up off my seat I noticed who the culprit was. It was John a.k.a the star quarter back of the football team.

"Oops, sorry Leo, I was just walking by and noticed you didn't have any milk so I decided to give you mine, how is it?" John said with a real smugness in his face while everyone in the cafeteria burst into laughter at John's 'prank', even the lunch lady was laughing.

I stood there with milk all over me traveling down my grey shirt (least it didn't get my jacket). Hearing all the laughter around me was causing me to feel shame and hatred. I started to have that same tingling feeling from the forest, I could feel it in my chest, then all of a sudden, my heart felt like it was on fire.My hands started to shake not in fear but in anger, I thought I was seeing red when this was happening. A violent feeling came over me when I looked up at John still keeping his smug face on proud of what he did.

"John..." I said in a low angry tone.

"Yes princess-URGH!!!" With that I popped John right in damn throat with everything I had causing him to stagger back.

I quickly took my chance and kicked him in the chest while he was trying stay balanced, he fell over nocking his head on the table. The entire students, even the lunch lady stood with shocked looks, some with horror. Never have they looked at me like that before, it scared me causing me to snap out of what I was in and realized what I had just done.

"W-what happen...?” I was cut off with a blow on the right side of my skull causing me to stagger backwards but still stay on my feet. I quickly tilted my head up to see who bopped me only to see a fist make contact with my eye, before I knew it I was on the ground crowded by the football team kicking me while I was down. I wasn't getting up, all I could do was lay there and take it.

I then heard a voice shout causing the jocks to stop their merciless beat down and focus on the source of the shout.

"What the hell is going on here and why are you all beating on this student!?" I recognized that voice; it was my art teacher Mr. Grey, the one who taught me better myself as an artist.

"This dip shit here punched John in the throat!!!" One of the jocks shouted back.

"Not before he splashed milk all over him for no reason!" Someone in the crowd shouted in my defense.

"Leonardo! Johnathan! And all of you in the principal’s office now!!!" Mr. Grey shouted while he pointed at the door.

After a long painful hour of telling our sides of the story the principal gave the football team a slap on the wrist and had them do some trash pickup in the hallways. As for me I got the axe as in I got expelled for how I handled the situation. With that I cleared out my locker and crammed everything in my back pack, I had to pull my knife out and put it under my sweater as I headed out of this school in order for everything to fit. But mostly I didn't want my Doritos to me crushed.

"Well this sucks, when I go back home my old man is going to give me the beating of a life time...or worse, he might actually kill me this time.” I muttered to myself as I headed back home through the path I had taken to come here.

While walking I couldn't help but be troubled at what had happened back there, I never felt such a thing take over and get the better of me. It was that same feeling as I felt from the flower, and I quickly realized that it had something to do with that insidious plant. I quickly started to sprint to find the plant. After arriving in the spot where I had made contact with the flower and that weird woman, the plant was suddenly gone from where it was, as though it was plucked from the earth.

"Where the hell is it?" I said to myself before a giggle that echoed throughout the forest caught my attention off the path.

I walked off the path and followed the giggling, I pulled out my knife ready if that woman suddenly came out again. Walking further and further into the woods I suddenly come across a hidden path at that point the giggling stopped and everything was dead silent. The woods quiet with the grey skies were enough to send shivers down my spine. I followed the path ignoring the fear building up inside of me, after minutes of walking the path led me to a large lake. It had a dock with a small row boat and a small shack on the other side. That's not what caught my attention tough, what did was the lady in black but to my shock she was standing on water.

"Hey you!" I shouted at the woman, she didn't even flinch, she just kept staring down at her own reflection.

Irritated I made my way to the dock to get closer, I sat my bag down and readied my throwing knife in case she tried her weird voodoo. Before I could call out to her, someone shouted my name drawing my attention, turning around I see that I've been followed by John and his butt buddies.

"You know Leo..." He said with a raspy voice, I guess I really let him have it. "...out of all the places to be today, you chose a really bad spot to be spotted by us."

Like a pack of wolves they were headed for my direction surrounding me without a way out from the dock. It struck me odd that they didn't notice the lady standing on water behind me. I turned back to the lake only to see she was no longer there. That lady was really starting getting to me.

"You shouldn’t have done that Leo, you should have just sat there and taken it like the bitch you are." John stepped forward from his pack of jocks with a really pissed off death glare.

I couldn't help but push my luck."Have you ever thought that maybe I would get tired of your shit and oh, I don’t know...pop you in the throat?" With that his lackeys started to follow him to the docks ready to give me a real beating.

I stepped back nearly to the edge until I felt my back pack behind my heel and dropped it in the lake.

"No! My I-pod and cigarettes where in there!!!" I tried to reach trying to reclaim my bag with my school books. But I didn’t really care for that much, I just wanted my I-pod and cigarettes.

Before I could turn around my arm was caught by one of Johns lackeys, quickly he twisted it and made me drop my knife in to the lake. My other arm was also caught, restrained by the other strong lackey. They quickly turned me around to face their leader. He had a real smile that was that of the devil seeing a defenseless soul like this as he approached.

"Well Leo, you’re shit outta luck." He took his jacket off, handing it to one of his friends. "You know I've been neglecting my work out..." he put his fist into his palm. "...but I think you can help get back in shape." He popped his knuckles as he spat on the ground.

My eyes shot open in fear as what was to come. "Oh shi-!" John landed a blow on my gut nocking the air out of my lungs, I wanted to kneel, but the two who had me restrained held me up for John to continue his 'work out'.

"How dare you make a fool out of me!"Another blow with more force. "You humiliated me out there! In front of the whole school, in my own hometown!!!" Each punch became harder, and harder until he stopped focusing on my abdomen and started work on my ribs then face. I could hear his buddies laugh as he mercilessly tenderized me with everything he had that I could have sworn he broke four of my ribs and my face. He continued with my jaw, my nose and eyes. John was unleashing every ounce of strength he had to punish me for my defiance. My face ached as I started to bleed from my cheeks, my nose, and I might have coughed up a little blood from the previous punches. He was so strong. "You don't try and disrespect the strong you little wet-back!" He punched me across the face sending blood flying across the grass. "You submit and roll over like the good little beaner you and your people are so you could avoid-!" One punch to the chest. "THIS-!" Another in the ribs. "TYPE-!" Finally... "OF OUTCOME!!!" He roared assaulted me with a barrage of punches. Every punch made me see a white flash while having the scent of pennies fill my nose, my head hung back as my eyes were rolled up from almost passing out, I couldn't help but whimper from the all blows. Finally out of breath, John was panting as he put his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. I was relived when he finally stopped, thinking that this beating was finally over.

My hopes were shattered though when I heard his voice.

"Oh, don't think it's over yet Leo." He said as he panted snapping his fingers and quickly one of his friend’s brought him a fist size rock. "This is for you." He said while wiggling the rock in his hand.

"John wait, hold it, don’t you think he's had enough?" One of my restrainers said.

"Yea man, you proved your point for him not to fuck with you. Don't you think this is a bit extreme?" John glared at both of his lackeys, cowering at their alpha male they both released their grip on me and just walked right past him with their tails between their legs.

I stood trying not to kneel or fall from the severe punches John gave, my legs shaking as I tried to stay on my two feet. I didn't want to keep my head down anymore. I was tired of being weak, I wont give this bastard the satisfaction ever again to insult me or my people! I looked up at John, smirking at him as he just stood there. The look on his face told me that he knew I was mocking him. He grit his teeth while his hand was clenching hard on the rock, shaking with anger.

"This is more than just proving a point! This is about me fixing my reputation back from this wet-back who humiliated me in public, I WONT LET THAT GO WITH JUST A BEATING!!!" With that said he grabbed my throat, his fingers digging into my throat as he pushed me back with my feet halfway over the edge.

Grabbing his fore arm I tried to pry him off, little did that do as he slowly raised his hand wielding rock. He gave me a smirk before he could land the final blow.

"See you soon Leo..." With one final look of his face he swung the rock right into my fore head with his tremendous strength causing me to come into a daze, bleed and fall into the lake.

Everything went so slow, it wasn't even funny. Seeing the look in John's face when busted me with a rock was the last thing I saw before I fell into the lake.

After one big splash, I quickly started to sink like a rock, trying to resist from being pulled in by the dark depths of this cold lake, but it was futile. I was too badly beaten and that rock to my head really caused my major head trauma that my vision blurred.

"No...Not like this, I can't die like this. My life has been so miserable...it can't just end like this."

With what strength I had left I reached my arms out trying to grasp the surface, it was hopeless, this is where I will meet my demise. I gave in, and surrendered what little dreams I had left to be crushed by this cruel reality.

Slowly I shut my eyes and let the cold wet comfort of the bottom of the lake to take me into its bitter dark embrace, releasing my last air bubble for it to reach the surface to let one remnant of my existence known by the world of the living I had given in. I turned my body facing down descending into the darkness.

Suddenly, an illuminating glow from the lake caught my attention, causing me to open my eyes. I saw it glow brighter as I sink deeper. Was it the light to the afterlife? At that thought I had started heading for the light with what little strength I had left. If I was going to die I wanted to get it over with, I want to cross over to the next life from this one for a better existence.

As I near the light, I find myself completely surrounded by it feeling the warm glow, and by surprise I was yanked in like some force was pulling me up at top speed almost as if gravity shut off and I was now being pulled into the skies. Bracing myself I was completely out of air, seeing as there is no way to go but up I let myself be carried away to reach the surface of heaven.

Only to stick my head out coughing violently and desperately gasping for air.

Kicking my legs to keep my head above the water I made my way to shore clinging onto the grass for my dear life as not to let myself be swallowed by the lake again. Resting while breathing heavily trying to regain my composure, I soon realize that I am back to the surface and it was bright out.

"What the...I could have sworn I was just sinking. How the hell did I end up back here, and why is it so sunny?" I glance to my left and find my back bag and knife. "And how the hell did those get out of the lake?"

Slowly getting up I reached for my knife and put it back in my sheath for just in case John and his friends where still around. I then notice that I am completely surrounded by apple trees where the pine trees once stood.

"What the hell..." I said as I observed my environment. I walk to my bag pack wet from the lake I open it hoping to myself that my smokes were at least still intact. Pulling them out I see the box is still dry along with my I-pod and books.

"Oh, thank goodness..." I said before kissing my pack, placing a cig in my mouth trying to get a light but my lighter refused to give me fire. A cigarette will take my mind of this aching pain. But there was no flame "No..." I tried desperately getting a small speck a fire" No, no, no, no!!!" I cursed and tossed my lighter into the lake.

"Can't even have a single smoke even after all that..." I grabbed my bag and headed down the dirt path nearby that might lead home. "...might as well be in hell."

Walking for the past hour was both exhausting and irritating, I really needed to smoke bad. I then notice a clearing up ahead, quickly I ran as fast as I could knowing that I would get out of this damn apple tree forest.

When I exited I noticed a big red barn up ahead with some colored horses, colored horses? I notice a big red one hauling a wagon of apples and a lime green one that looked wrinkle sitting in rocking chair like a human and a yellow little filly with a red mane and bow talking to two other fillies. I was left with my jaw dropped at what I was beholding dropping my unlit cigarette from my mouth.

"What...the fu-" I was cut off my southern accent voice right behind me.

"What in tarnation!?"

I turn my head to see it was an orange mare with a cowboy hat blonde mane, she looked at me in fear with her apple green eyes as I returned the expression pointing at her stuttering.

"Y-y-yo-you're a t-talking-" She quickly turned around to position herself and kicked me with everything she had. Her kick was so strong that I was off my feet fleeing back impacting on a tree hitting my head nocking me out cold.

I think it was an hour or two that has passed since I have lost my consciousness, after that I managed to wake from my forced nap. Opening my eyes letting the strong sun rays in I see that I am bound to a tree unable to move, looking around observing my environment I see that I was closer to the red barn. Suddenly I feel a prod on my leg causing me to flinch. I quickly swing my head to where the prod came from and see it was none other than that mare who bucked me.

"You!" I yelled she then jumped back and let out a large yelp. "What's your problem, why did you do that?!" I struggled from the ropes that held me to the tree let out huge grunts.

"What in Equestria are you?" She stomped her hoof demanding I answer her.

"What?" I tilted my head in confusion at her question.

"What are ya?" She repeated only a little irritated.

"You...don't know what I am?" She shook her head. “I’m a human. You know; tall bipedal creatures that rule Earth"

"What in Sam’s hill is Earth?" That question caused me to freeze for a moment, quickly remembering what happened back at the lake I realize that I must be in the next life. With talking horses?

"Um, Earth...A planet ruled completely by humans." She then gave a surprised look.

"A whole planet ruled by just humans?" She put her hoof on her chin pulling on her imaginary beard. "That can't be right, are ya saying ya'll from another world?"

"I don't know, I guess, I just emerged from a lake east from here" The mare looked at me for a while eyeing my entire being, studying me until her eyes stopped at my knife in my sheath.

"What's that?" She inched forward.

"What's what?" I looked down at my knife. "Oh, that's just my blade." She then looked up at me with panicked eyes.

"W-what are you doing on my land with a weapon?!" She pointed at as though I had just been accused of drugs. "You must have come here to assassinate me!!!" This caused me to cock my head back, only to head the tree again.

"Ouch...what, why would I try to assassinate you!? I don't even know who you are!!!" She then stepped forward and tilted her hat backwards.

"My name is Applejack and I am one of the elements of harmony and one of Princess Celestia's little ponies!" She stood proudly as she introduced herself, I couldn't help but just rolled my eyes at this.

"What the hell are you talking about? Elements of harmony? Princess Celestia? I don't even know what any of that is!"

"The elements of harmony are six ponies including myself who bring peace throughout the entire country of Equestria! As for Princess Celestia she is the ruler of the proud and peaceful land!"

"Oh wow, that so interesting!"

"Really?" She gave smile.

"No." I gave her a deadpan look.

She then just stomped right over with a look that said 'I'm going to kill you'.

"A-a-ah-I was just kidding that is all very interesting, I just wanted see if you knew I was kidding!" I gave a big forceful smile, at that she just yelped and jumped back. "What, do I have something on my teeth?" I licked my teeth to see if there was a piece of meat left from lunch's burger.

"Y-y-you’re an omnivore!?" She shouted, causing me cock my head.

"What kind of dumb question is that? Of course I'm an omnivore, see?!" I flashed my fangs this earned me a bigger yelp as Applejack moved back further.

"Stop that!" She shouted. "It's creepy!"

"Look, I've had about enough of this foolishness! You untie me right now, return my belongings and I'll leave this apple paradise nightmare and never come back!"

Applejack then charged me, she stood on her hind legs placing her fore hooves on my chest and stared me down with all the anger and rage in her eyes snorting loudly.

"How dare you!!!" She popped me in the nose with her right hoof on my face. "This is a wonderful place that my family has built with their bare hooves, and you dare insult it!?" She popped me with her other hoof across my cheek.

"Ow! Stop that you’re hurting me even more before I came here!!!" I struggled hopelessly through my bounds; I could feel my arms being even more bruised. How does a pony tie a knot with no fingers?

"Ugh, where's Apple bloom with the others?" Applejack said in thought, impatiently kicking her hoof on the ground.

"Applejack!" Yelled a small filly as she approached from a dirt road and following her were six other ponies, except two where unicorns, two were Pegasus and just one of them was a normal pony.

"What in tarnation took you so long?!" Applejack scolded the small filly.

"I'm sorry Applejack; it took longer than usual to round up every pony!"

One of the five emerged from the group, it was a lavender unicorn with a dark purple mane and a pin streak with a star on her flank. It looked like she was the one in charged with a straight face her eyes locked on mine.

"Who and what are you?" She said in a firm tone.

I groaned loudly as she asked, this was getting rather irritating. I had to think of something to get them to untie me so I could leave.

"My name is Leo, and I am a human." I said with a forced smile.

"Why are you here on my friend’s land?"

"I don't know, I just emerged from a lake that I thought I had died in my world and found myself here!"

She just stood there staring at me examining me humming to herself. She then turned her head over to my back pack on the ground and back at me.

"What's in there?"

"My stuff; I-pod, cigarettes, books" At that she quickly turned her head to my bag again and back at me.

"Books, You mean you brought books from your world?!" She levitated my bag unzipping it, pulling out my world history and science books along with my note books.

"Yes, I did and you can have them if you untie me, and I swear to whatever deity watches over us I will not harm anyone or anypony as you say.” She just ignored me and trotted off with my books as tough she had forgotten why she was here in the first place. “Hey come back, don’t ignore me!!!” I shouted as I struggled through my bounds.

“Oh no please don’t struggle, you’ll bruise yourself even more!” The yellow Pegasus said as she hovered to me trying to calm me. She then starts inspecting my face, her soft expression turns to one of horror. "What happened to you!?" she gently put her hoof upon my damaged face.

"Jeez Applejack, I know you're known for being tough, but this is kind of going over board." The rainbow Pegasus spoke.

"What, I didn't do this!" she pointed at me.

"Actually you kind of did, you popped me on the nose and across my cheek." I said giving her a deadpan expression.

"You were already roughen up before ya'll even got here!!!" She shouted.

"Yea but thanks to you now I'm even worse!"

"Well you shouldn't have insulted my home!" She shot back.

"Well you shouldn't have bucked me into a tree!!!"

We just stared at each other for what felt like hours, shooting lighting at each other in silent until Applejack spoke up.

"Touché"..." She turned her back and head towards the lavender mare who's eyes where bored into my books.

"I'll go and get my medical kit to see to your bruises" The yellow Pegasus quickly flew off at an incredible speed.

That just left three who had their eyes on me, the unicorn in white with a purple mane eyeing me nervously, a pink pony who just stared at me, and finally the rainbow Pegasus. All I could do was be bound to the tree I was in and just hope this all goes well. And I really need to remember to get Applejack back for bucking me and punching me in the face.

"So what brings you here to our world mister Leo?" The white unicorn said.

"I for the last time don't know, I thought I was drowning in a lake and next thing I know I find myself here!" Frustrated with the same questions I gritted my teeth hung my head wondering when this nonsense was going to end.

"Holy moly, you're an omnivore!?" Shouted the rainbow Pegasus. I just rolled my eyes at the same question that Applejack had asked.

"No, I just have canines because it looks good on me." I said in the most sarcastic tone ever.

"Hey!" She shouted as she zipped over to me hovering in front of me mere inches from my face. "Are you getting fresh with me monkey?!" She yelled.

My eye twitched at what I had just heard come out of this mare's mouth, did she just call me a monkey? I couldn't help but grin angrily as I chuckled darkly trying really hard not to burst in anger. The white unicorn reeled back in fear as she watched her friend pushing her luck.

"R-Rainbow dash...maybe you should cease-"

"Monkey? MONKEY?!" I yelled. "Why don't you untie me from this tree, and say that again you little half pint rainbow horse! I dare you! I double dare you! I double dog dare you! I triple double dog dare you!!!" I shouted as I struggled to break free.

Her eyes went wide as her irises shrunk, she just hovered there in mid-air comprehending if what I had just said was true. Her friend was even worse as she was on her flank, her mouth moving trying to form words "D-did you just call me a...whorse?" She asked trying to find her voice.

I tilted my head in confusion, did I just hit a nerve by calling her a horse? Well...in that case..."Is a matter of fact I did, are you going to cry about it rainbow HORSE?" I smirked as I raised my eyebrow.

She was trembling in anger as she gritted her teeth as she looked at me with blood shot eyes. "You...You...YOU!!!" She made an attempt to charge me, but was suddenly enveloped by a blue aura and stopped in her tracks.

"Rainbow Dash, stop!" She yelled

"Let me go Rarity!!! I'm goin to teach this monkey some manners!!!" She stretched out her hooves in an attempt to reach me. Boy, these ponies just might be as violent as humans, or maybe it's just a bad first impression.
