An Unexpected Journey

Chapter 3: Explanations

I woke up to the sound of wood breaking along with the sound of two metal objects clashing with each other. I groaned as I opened my eyes. The same wooden ceiling with a support beam. I turned my head to the right. The door was opened.

"Ugh. Who could be making all that noise. Welp. Time to find out," I said to myself as I threw the covers off of me and jumped out of the bed. I got to thank Fluttershy for letting me stay in her bed. Wait...Why am I not freaking out that I'm in Equestria? I thought as I made my way to the door.

There was a loud Bang downstairs. "You sure have been practicing." I heard a familiar voice say. Who was that talking again? And who is he talking too?

I scratched the back of my head as I left to room and went down the stairs. When I got to the base of the stairs, my eyes widened. "What the hell is going on here," I asked as I watched a bat-pony sword fighting a unicorn stallion. The stallion had a midnight blue coat and a red mane.

They both stopped and turned to look at me. I blinked and they blinked. Who was that bat-pony again? I opened my mouth to say something, but I never got the chance. "Run, Miss. Journal!" The bat-pony shouted at me before turning back to the unicorn and headbutted him. How did he do that without poking his eye out? I just kept watching the two brawl it out.

"That's the pony I'v been looking for? Ha! She's useless. How can she be the one we is able to change the faith of Equestria?" The unicorn asked, recovering from the headbutt.

"Um...Who are you again," I asked.

"Who me or him," The unicorn asked, turning towards me. The bat-pony took that moment of distraction to pick sword up off the ground and stab the unicorn in the side. "Agh."

"Thank you for that brief distraction, Miss. Journal." The bat-pony said to me, giving me a smile.

"They'll find you...and when they do...you won't be able to run," The unicorn said before going limp on the floor bleeding out.

"They? Who's they? Alright you." I turned towards Moon Chaser. "Tell me what's going on and why you keep calling me Journal."

He looked hostile towards me for a moment before softening his gaze. "You really don't remember anything do you, Miss. Journal."

"Remember what? Who are you?"

"She said this would happen, she said you would forget. No, I didn't believe her, but here you are not remembering anything," He mumbled to himself. "Okay, look. I don't know what Miss. Pie did to make you not remember who you are but you are Journal Seeker. You a very special mare. I don't know what makes you so special, but you are and I was told to guard you with my life. Also I'm Moon Chaser." He explained as much as he knew.

"I am not a pony."

"What now?"

"I'm not a pony," I repeated. "I am a human. I am a brony and this is all just a dream that I will wake up from any moment." I turned and trotted back up the stairs.

"Miss. Journal I think you should wait for Miss. Pie and the others to come back. You've been asleep much longer than any of us expected," He said, following me.

I stopped. Pinkie Pie...She'll know what happen. "Okay fine, but who is that and why did he say they?" I motioned towards the now dead unicorn.

"He was a friend, but now he's just a traitor to the throne. As for why he said they...He is part of the Resistance. A group of ponies, griffins, zebras, buffaloes and so on. They think that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are just no good, lying alicorns. Then when Princess Twilight Sparkle became an alicorn they started a civil war. Most of the griffin kingdom are siding with them." He grimaced a little.

We stood there on the stairs for a moment before I trotted back down. Stepping over the dead pony I made my way over to the couch with Moon Chaser following me. I sat down on the couch, Moon Chaser sitting a bit too close to me.

"What do I have to do with this," I finally asked, looking at him with a sad look.

"I don't know. I'm just your guard. I don't know anything. They never tell me anything."

Just then the front door slammed open. In the door way stood six clocked figures. "Moon Chaser we're back." One of the clocked figures said. The figure was clearly female.

"Princess Twilight Sparkle, welcome back. How was your trip out," He asked with a hopeful smile.

"Bad." She said making her way inside the house, followed by the other 5 figures. She looked at the dead pony then back at Moon Chaser. "Looks like we had a guest. The Resistance found us didn't they?" Moon Chaser nodded, grimly. Twilight sighed. "How was your sleep Journal," She asked addressing me.

I blinked. "Um...Good. Can someone explain to be how I'm a pony?" I said randomly.

"Oh,oh. Me! Pick me!" One of the cloaked figures said, raising a ping hoof. I raised an eyebrow but nodded towards who I presumed to be Pinkie Pie. "That Doctor pony and future me brought you back here where you can help save Equestria and help bring back harmony." She pulled the hood of her clock back reveling a wide grin.

"Back? Why did you say back? I'v never been in Equestria before," I said to Pinkie. I blinked and in the next moment she was right in my face, our muzzles mere inches from touching.

"Well you silly filly. You were never really a human. You were a pony, but me and that doctor pony took you to earth and made you think you were a human to protect you."

"I was never a human? That's a lie," I shouted at Pinkie. "I'm a human and The Doctor is not real!" I moved around Pinkie and galloped towards the stairs. I would have ran up to Fluttershy's room and locked myself in there is I hadn't slipped on the pool of blood the dead pony left. "Whoa!" My back and mane were soaked in the blood. "It got in my mouth! Ack!" I started to cry. "It's not true. I'm a human and this is just a dream." I closed my eyes and wept.

I heard someone sigh. "Pinkie...You were suppose to be subtle." I heard Twilight say.

"Come on Twi. You know just as well as us that there is no way to be subtle right now! The Resistance has found us. Let's go kick their sorry little flanks." I was pretty sure that was Rainbow Dash.

Some one trotted up to me. I didn't open my eyes to look. I was just sobbing. My whole life a lie. This is not true. I really wanted to wish this was not real. That I'm just a crazy girl who like ponies.

"Miss. Journal maybe you should clean yourself up. I'm sure Miss. Pie and the others will figure out a plan when your done." I heard the gentlecolt voice of Moon Chaser say.

"O-okay." I opened my eyes and saw he was smiling down at me. I smiled back. "Thank you Moon Chaser. I just wish everything can be explained to me. Who I am you know?" He nodded. I rolled over onto my hooves and stood up. "Your too kind Moon Chaser." I told him before walking up the stairs to where I thought was the shower.
