The Equestrian Civil War

I couldn't breath, that's the first thing I noticed. Then I noticed just how much pain I was in and that's when I decided I really didn't like that griffin. Opening my eyes i was greeted with darkness. Groaning i tried to roll over only to gasp in pain and curl up, trying to remember.. well.. anything. I remembered the fist, oohh how i remembered the fist. After that, darkness. I thought i heard a crunch once but it must have been a dream, i hope. I struggled to my hooves, whimpering in pain, my chest feeling like it was on fire. I winced and bent over coughing, tasting blood. Probing my chest with a hoof i found the source of my pain, crying out. A broken rib... a very badly broken rib. I saw light under what i assumed was a door, followed by arguing. I forced my hooves to carry me over to the door. "H-help!" I weakly knocked on the door and the arguing stopped. then the room was flooded with light and i had just enough time to see the door swinging towards my face before it connected and, mercifully, i blacked out again.

I came too high as a kite laying in a hospital bed. Thank the princesses for morphine! Dazed and more then a little tired from the drugs i looked around my room. there was the bed, an iv for what I assumed was the morphine, and straps holding my legs in place. Great.... straps... my day wasn't bad enough without me being a prisoner as well. I weakly tugged on a forehoof strap, confirming that they were on to tight to slip out of, then looked around for anything that might help. the room was extremely empty. No picture, no window, no tables or chairs, nothing but the bed, the iv, and a partially open door letting light in. Sighing, i decided to get more sleep and deal with whatever predicament i was in now in the morning.

Arguing, yelling, dear Celestia i have a headache! Why cant they be quiet I'm trying to sleep! I groan and open my eyes to the same griffin standing next to my bed, yelling at a pink mare behind him. I glare up at him, wanting so bad to beat the living shit out of him. Instead, I tugged at my bonds and growled. "ahem." He jumped then, taking a step back. Man I might have been in pain, but the look on his face... priceless~ Glaring at him i waited for him to get over his surprise. He blushed a little, rubbing his neck " so.. uh.. I guess I have some explaining to do huh.... "

I nodded slowly. He smirked at me "Its not my fault, but I maaay have dropped you... twice. But tootally not my fault. Some dragons attacked after i put you on my back. Hehe.. sorry." I swear if i wasn't tied down and drugged i would have wiped that smirk off his face.

I watched the mare leave then looked back up at the griffin "so why am i tied down, and why did you punch me. Is that how you greet all your visitors?" He chuckled "I had to make sure you wernt a bandit or solder or spy. what we have here is a very good secret, and i plan to keep it that way."

I looked around " Just what secret is that?"

He grinned "Let me be the first to welcome you to the hidden village in the mountains. Welcome to Freeville."

I groaned at the absurdly stupid name. "great, wonderful, its so nice to be her. Now can you PLEASE untie me???!!!
