Load Full StoryNext ChapterDay four: today is the day, the day I'll finally be allowed outside this room I've been trapped in for the past four days. I say trapped but I have been allowed to leave, for meals and meetings only unfortunately. My request for a journal has finally been answered after two days of waiting but I still lack pens and have to make do with quills for the time being. While I am being let outside I am required to have two guards watch me at all times. I am not the only one being released to day, the others are as well with the same agreement regarding our entourage. Before we are given access to the city we have a meeting with the princess of the nation regarding the city and the citizens. I still wonder why she calls herself the princess when she runs the nation and not a queen, it may be due to the lack of a husband. I know she rules with her sister but I still haven't met her and it's obviousness that her sister has only a fraction of the influence she has considering the younger of the two just returned from exile due to her trying to throw the nation into a "dark age". All things considered, we have been treated rather well considering the events that transpired during our initial meeting with the princess.
It started four weeks ago. My friends, Keri, Rai, and myself were meeting at Keri's house during our break from school when after a strange flash of light we found ourselves in the woods with nothing but the clothes on our backs and anything within five feet of us at the time. For thee weeks we lived in the forest with nothing but several school books on various subjects, two rather large backpacks, three computers, an iPad, two iPods, three iPhones, half a mattress, and a bag of skittles. Surviving wasn't the hard part considering my camping experience and Rai's love for hunting and weapons along with Keri being a freaking ninja, no, the hard part was adjusting to the time change. When I say time change I don't mean we were used to it being five AM while it was seven PM, I mean the day was an extra ten hours longer. We had adjusted by day fourteen and were doing fine until day twenty but day twenty one is when everything just fell apart.
A group of the guards I mentioned earlier had heard of animals disappearing in the area, a cow or two among the ones lost, and were sent to capture whatever was eating the animals in the area. Upon their arrival they found not one but three beings living in the area. We were of course the creatures in question and had been living in a cave for the duration of our little "camping trip". Now our initial meeting with the guards was not very pleasant, it ended with all three of us being knocked out and one of the guards loosing a wing. I now realize that I've left out a rather important piece of information, there are no humans in this world. The worlds dominant species seems to be ponies, bright, technicolor ponies. It fuckin sucks. To make it worse some of them aren't normal ponies, but are unicorns and Pegasuses, or Pegasus. Pegasi. Winged fucking horses.
Now, while we were knocked out we had been brought to the capital city of this pony land. We were caged and brought in for study but were able to escape. I realize again I forgot to mention another important piece of info, the three of us upon arrival to this world changed. We seemed to take on an aspect from each of the pony species. Keri had gained wings of the peggathings. They are white with the tips of some of the feathers ending in black. Apparently wings here mean moving clouds and being able to control thee weather. Rai, he has a horn, just like a unicorn. The unicorns horn gives them magic, and that would explain why he has telekinesis and can make electricity. Non lethal just enough to knock someone out. Me, all I got was increased strength, not even super. I feel like captain America, slightly stronger than normal people but still kind of useless. I do heal faster so that's a plus.
So upon our escape we were instantly transported back home. When I say home I mean earth, not our home town but Washington DC. For five hours we were back on earth but as to why DC I have to clue. I have a theory that it might have been because we were in the pony capital and that runs parallel with our capital or something but that's stupid and PROBABLY isn't true. Maybe. Either way, when we arrived we immediately went to the nearest police station trying to see if their was a missing person report but with none being filed, and the cop being quite the ass hole, he assumed we were just trying to hitch a free ride. Before we knew it we had ended up on the street getting strange looks from people because of our raggedy clothes. In the end we ended up with eleven stolen wallets and a lot of spending money. We bought new clothes and spent some time in the city before trying to plan out a bus rout back home.
Before we could step onto the bus a number of police officers apprehended us for the pick pocketing earlier that day. They were really probably after us because of the beating Keri gave some pervert on the street. They had no idea what they were dealing with. We knocked out the four officers and took a car hoping to get out of the city but we had no idea where we were going. We ended up being pursued I the direction of the White House. Right before we could hit the wall around the building we were teleported to the horse city again but were still in the car. Now we didn't end up in the street in a car going eighty miles an hour, we ended up in the air around the palace in the city In a car going eighty miles an hour. We crashed through one of the windows and skid straight into a wall causing the airbags to deploy. I was the first to step out. I looked at those present in the room, all shock at the sudden appearance of our vehicle. Rai was next out. When he saw where we were he pulled out two guns he had under the grey sweat shirt he had bought. Keri was the last out, only because she was sitting in the back having gotten in after Rai. I opened the door for her while Rai pulled another two guns from his sweat shirt. O.k. This is taking too long. To make a long story short, ish, one guard was shot, the princess from earlier was their, we talked, we became prisoner guests and here we are.
I put down my pen and looked over what I had written. It was kind of shitty but I'm no writer, so it was good enough. With all the events that had happened so far written down I just sat in my chair looking around my cell. For a prisoner I had a very nice room. A desk, a full bed, and a connected bathroom. The bed was obviously mad for a shorter species but it was alright. My thoughts were then interrupted by the sound of knocking.
"Yeah," I called out.
"The princess is awaiting your arrival in the garden," said my appointed guide from the other side of the door.
"Alright, just hold on a sec."
"No," she said. "We will not keep the princess waiting"
"Fine," I said as a wrenched open the door. "Pants are over rated anyway."
She stood there staring before turning away, blushing, and saying, "please put some clothes on."
"That's what i though," I said as I slammed the door in her face.
