My Demons

   'That lightening bolt must of put me in some sort of fucked up coma, there is no way this is real.' Lucas thought as he walked out of the cottage. He'd rather been arrested than to be stuck in a land imagined up by a little girl.

   "Hey, where are you going?" Twilight called out from the doorway.

   "Tell me something," said Lucas, "is this all real? Am I in a coma?"

   "I don't know how to say this, but yes... look, I know it must be difficult to soak it all in but-' Twilight cut herself off as Lucas mad a mad dash into the forest, "Please come back!"

    Fluttershy came exited her cottage, "Why'd he run off?"

   "Finding yourself in a new place is difficult by itself, he's lost not just in a new but in a new reality. He just needs to come to realization on that's how it is." Twilight explained, still looking at the direction where the human left. "I know he needs time to accept this but we can't just let him go into the Everfree by himself, we need to gather the girls and form a search party."

   Fluttershy nodded in agreement then the two took off to Ponyville.

   "FUCK! THIS! SHIT!" Lucas screamed as he was a punching a tree to release the ongoing pool of anger flowing through his being. His knuckles started to bleed from ragged edges of bark that scraped against his hand. Lucas pulled his backpack off and searched for his blade. Once he got a hold of the knife he unsheathed it and dragged it across his forearm trying to wake himself up from the believed coma he was in. He cringed at the pain, blood starting to drip down his arm and trickle down his fingers onto the forest floor. All sorts of thoughts ran through his mind, he began to pant heavily, he curled his hand into a fist. Something snapped inside him, If those goddamned ponies had anything to do with this, *I'LL FUCKING KILL THEM ALL!!!***'. Never before has he had a blood lust this intense, even the sight of his own life force sliding down his arm is enough to get him riled up. Lucas cleaned the blood off the knife in a near by stream and put it back in his bag. He walked back from where he came, heading back to the cottage, not even bothering to tend to his self-inflicted wound.

   "Alright girls, we are on a search for our large bipedal friend. Any questions?" Twilight sparkle announced to the rest of the mane six.

   Pinkie Pie, in a detective's outfit, raised a hoof, "What does he look like?" she said looking at Twilight through a magnifying glass.

   "Well he walks on two legs like a minotaur, he's a light brown color, his mane is small and thin, has a beard, wears clothes, and has some sort of saddlebag." Twilight explained.

   "Ooh, maybe I can try some new projects with him if likes clothing, I can tell we'll get along swimmingly already!" Rarity exclaimed.

   "Alright, you girls ready?" Twilight asked and got a collective "Yeah!" in return,"Then let's do this!" Twilight and the others were about to charge into the forest, until-

   "Found him!" Pinkie announced, bouncing around Lucas.

   The ponies surrounded Lucas and stared at him in awe except Twilight and Fluttershy, having seen him already. Apple Jack noticed his arm, "My goodness partner, are ya'll alright?"

   "Oh man, what happened?" said Rainbow Dash.

   "It's nothing, I just fell." he lied emotionless.

    "Oh my, you should um let me fix you up, if its okay with you." Fluttershy offered.

   "Sure." Lucas replied as he continued back to the cottage, stepping over the still fainted Spike, his face was void of emotion but something about his eyes put everypony on edge.

   "He seems... a little different. I can't imagine how upset he his." Twilight commented. "I hope he cheers up soon."

   Pinkie gasped, "Maybe I can throw him a 'Welcome to Ponyville Party'! That'll turn his frown upside down for sure!"

   "Yeah! Your parties are the best, there's no way he'll not get excited once he's been to a Pinkie Party!" Rainbow agreed.

   "Maybe later but for now we need to heal him." Twilight added and everypony nodded in agreement.

   "What're ya'll waitin for then?" Lucas called from inside the cottage.

*Later*

   "Now this is gonna sting just a bit," Fluttershy was dripping some hydrogen peroxide on Lucas' open wound.

   "I can handle it," he told the mare. The liquid started to sizzle on the gash, cleaning it so it won't get infected.

   "Ya'll must be pretty tough partner? Don't ya feel any pain whatsoever?" Apple Jack commented.

   "I'm a masochist..." Lucas said. Twilight and Rarity, blushing, widened their eyes.

   Rainbow noticed the magic users'  reaction, "What's wrong? What does that mean?"

   Twilight and Rarity looked at each other then back at Rainbow, "We'll, uh, tell you later." said Twilight.

   "Oh my, this could be a problem," Fluttershy spoke up, "I Don't have any bandage wraps." Lucas immediately took his black shirt off, revealing a white tank top underneath, and once his shirt was off he reached in his bag and pulled his knife out. He was beginning to cut the shirt into one large strip of fabric, Rarity gasped watching the destruction against clothing. Lucas grabbed the bottle of hydrogen peroxide and started to pour some across the makeshift bandage wrap. After he felt enough was on he began to tightly wrap the fabric around his arm to slow down the bleeding.

   "This is not my first time in a situation like this before," Lucas explained, "now how about some tea?" he said, tone changing from empty to chipper.

   "Yes we could make some tea but are you sure you're alright darling? You don't need any medical attention?" Rarity questioned.

   "Bah, this is just a small scrape." he waved it off,  'Jesus table flipping Christ, its like they've never seen an injury before!', "So, how bout that tea?"

   "Are you sure Ponyville will be ready for you? The townsponies aren't too open with anything new or strange, not that you're strange or anything." Twilight asked Lucas sipping her honey bush tea.

   "Well I have to make myself known eventually."  Lucas said.

   "I'm sure they're gonna love ya! If I thnk you're awesome, then the town is bound to thinks so too!" Rainbow Dash added.

   "Darn tootin' they will! Yer a pretty interestin' feller for sure." the cowpony agrred.

   Lucas chugged the rest of his tea and stood up, "Welp, there's our answer. So when are we doin' this meet 'n' greet, I want to get this over with already." Lucas never really like crowds, he wasn't much of a people person, he'd often think of himself as a hermit sometimes.

   "Well if you feel that you're ready for this, but first I'll need to notify Princess Celestia." said Twilight. Spike was finally beginning to wake from his black out, "Oh, Spike! Just in time! I need to send a letter." Spike, in turn, groaned. "Now Lucas there's going to be a possibly big chance that you're going to meet Princess Celestia, so please be on your best behavior."

   "No promises," he replied. 'Like hell I will!' he said in his mind, "just pray she doesn't upset me in any way, shape, or form. I don't want to do something everyone else is going to regret."

   "Oh I wouldn't worry about it," said Fluttershy, "she is the nicest pony in Equestria."

   "Yeah, she's super duper kind!" Pinkie agreed.

   "Ok, then lets do this thing." said the determined teen. 'May God help you all...' he thought sadistically.
