Patching Wounds

It was dark, a yellow coated pony was hiding in an alleyway, peaking from the corner at what seemed to be a hunting mob.  He backs up into the darkness and hides behind a box as they start to head towards his way. “I  think he ran over here.” A white coated pony exclaimed as he looked down the alley.

“nope. nothing but boxes and rot. lets keep looking.” another from the mob noted as they traveled off to search for him. the yellow stallion then starts to slowly creep out from the darkness, making sure that the coast was clear, then starts to talk to himself.

“i… i can’t go back home…. i can’t stay here….” he sighs, looking around again before sitting quietly “i can’t believe this….. who would frame me…? who would want me gone…?” he slowly walks out, getting tackled by a grey-blue unicorn not too long before he makes a step outside.

“....” he looks at a piece of paper, then to him, confirming that this was the pony he was looking for.

“Dont kill me! please! i got too much to live for!” the yellow earth pony blabbered on, trying to convince him to spare his life. “I still need to finish college! i need my gaming degree! i don’t wan---” his muttering was soon silenced by the unicorn’s hoof.

“shh… dont worry. i’m actually here to help ya. just stay calm, okay?” the yellow pony nods, before blushing, feeling a small connection as he was silenced. “now…. i’m gonna move my hoof….. dont yell…. just tell me your name, okay?” the yellow stallion assures him, nodding again to keep his muzzle shut. the grey-blue pony finally slowly removes his grasp on the earth pony, getting a calm, warm, and shy reply back to him.

“Y-Yellow…. Yellow Sprite…..” Yellow speaks in a low voice, trusting his exspression.

“good… now… my name is Jean Splice. i’m gonna guard you till i can get you out of here, ok? all i need you to do is follow me, and stay close. got it?” Jean backs away, allowing Yellow to get up from the ground.

“alright… but i hope you don’t go and turn me in like an asshole.” Sprite scoffs, dusting himself off before looking to Jean. “now, o’ wise warrior, where to next…?”

“with that attitude, jail if you keep it up.”

“sorry… just scared… thats all.” Yellow says once more before nearly getting left my Jean. “h-hey! wait up!” he catches up with him just in time as the mob circles around for one more search. Jean pulls Yellow into the shadows again, hiding him with a small cover nearby.

“he’s still around here… i know it. everyone, split up! find him! that reward is ours!” The white pony yells out to all the others as they nod, spreading out in all directions to look for Yellow.

“i dont believe this…” yellow thought to himself. “a bounty for a frame? thats childish. anyone can jail someone. just shoot me. i dont have a life anyways.”

“alright. lets go.” Jean pulls the cover off of yellow just as he starts to walk out. “we dont have much time right now, so ill just take you in my house. they wont find you there. ill talk about myself more tomorrow. trust me.” he starts to climb some stairs to a black house that looked abandoned from the outside.

“you… you sure about this…?” Yellow holds Jean back, trying to get his attention from him. “i mean…. search parties… warfare…. and an easy bounty! thats an easy life! you dont want any money?”

“money isn’t important to me right now. what is important is keeping you alive so you can have another day to live.” Jean unlocks his door and quickly steps in. “you know something that we don’t. i need you alive rather than dead.”

Yellow lets out a long sigh before replying to his answer. “alright, JEAN. ill go with whatever you say… just dont kill me, alright? he steps into the house, looking around and trying to scope the place out, but all he found was darkness.

“granted. now come on… i’ll give you your bed for the night…” Jean walks down some stairs, leading to a larger, more luxury looking home than Yellow has ever seen. “its not much… but you can sleep on the couch. we can eat tomorrow. i dont have much bits on me right now…” Jean nods towards the couch as he takes a turn for his room.

“well…” Yellow spoke to himself as he wobbled to the couch* “being hunted in a city where money is crucial… how can this night get any better…? *he lays down on the couch which smelt… rather funny. “.....is….. is this…..” he sniffs the couch, then blushes heavily, laying on the floor instead. “thanks, Jean!”

“its the least i can do!” he calls back before turning off a lamp with a click.

“yep… the luxury life…..” Yellow says with a small yawn before curling up in a ball and drifting slowly to sleep.
