Load Full StoryNext Chapter

The fire took multiple times to light. It was a two pony job yet it was hard to hold the flint. Finally a spark and the once dead wood was now a small fire. They all gathered around one was a filly who had yellow fur with both a red mane and a tail.The other was also yellow but she was a pegasus with a pink mane and tail. The last one was yet another pegasus with a rainbow mane and tale and she had a bright colored blue fur, but the pony swore he saw yet another pony in one of the tents but was unsure. The pony was thinking to himself, thinking what approach he should take. Should he wait after dark and not risk a fight but risk death of bleed out, or should he go in sword in his mouth.

"Hey"said a pony from the campfire and thus the mysterious pony was given an answer.

"Come out slowly" and the pony listened

He was a unicorn who had jet black fur with a red mane and tail but had some of his mane hair had white strips and his tail had small black streaks. He had a kelvar vest underneath a black shirt and the rest of what he was wearing was a multitude of leaves banded together by some what of some fishing line. He actually looked like a walking tree. He had a backpack hidden the leaves and a sword around his waist. The one who called him was the one with the wild rainbow hair while her friends dashed for the nearest tent. The rainbow haired pony had a gun aiming down him which caught the pony off guard. While it was an old model guns were rare since they stopped manufacturing them since the race wars.

'Who are you?" Said the rainbow haired pony.

"I'm just some pony looking for some medical supplies" he nodded at the patch of bandages where blood had ran through it. After saying that the pink mane pony had poked her head out.

"I-Is it a ......" then everyone went silent.

"Its a gunshot wound" said the red mane pony. The pink pony had then walked up with a pony that the black pony hasn't seen. She was a white fur made with blue mane and tail which was curled by some in proper tools. The yellow fur pony had whispered into the blue fur pony then she put her weapon away

"I'm sorry in these days and age" said the blue fur pony

"Its okay I understand why, trust me" said the black fur pony.

"Please sit down and i'll tend to your wound" said the pink maned pony

Like a child the red mane pony sat on a stump while the pink mane pony unrapped his bandages revealing as told a gunshot wound.

"Hey I'm still sorry my names rainbow dash" said the rainbow mane pony.

"Names Vex" said the black fur pony, and as soon as he said that the filly poked her head out.

"This is Fluttershy" Rainbow pointed to the yellow  fur pony treating his wound who had now gotten a pistol bullet out of his wound.

"I'm Rarity and this is Applebloom" said the white fur made then she pointed to the filly saying that she's Applebloom.

"Howdy" said Applebloom

Vex waved his hoof at her motioning hello

"So" started vex "May I ask why you mares are all out here by yourself."

"About ready to ask you the same thing" said Rainbow. After she said that Fluttershy had just dressed his wound.

"I was running from a horde of those"

"Oh, sorry to hear that."

"And you."

"Me?" Said Rainbow " Its a bit of a long story but let's just say that we're looking for some friends in Ponyville."

"There, the last time I was there I nearly escaped by myself."

"I know just its an important friend who lives at one of the farms."

"Never heard or saw any one up there when I was there"

"Well this some private info. If you want you can stay the night."

"I'm good , what I'm looking for is a decent home."

"We can take you to ours."

"What!?" Said Rarity

"But" said Rainbow " We need to get to Sweet Apple Acres"

"Really?" Said Vex "alright then I guess"

"Great"

"Come this way" said Fluttershy motioning Vex to follow which they went to a tent were Fluttershy entered then came back out with another tent. She then set it up were Vex had squeezed in through the small door.

"You sure this is a good idea" said Rarity

"Of course" said Rainbow "He needs a home and we need a good flighter what can go wrong."
