When a Human is Summoned!

"Cole come on, we gotta get to lesson." Jack said grabbing my arm and jerking. The sudden movement almost makes me trip.

"Fuck off! It's only Cel. And were watching a movie anyway." I said. We were meant to be watching an educational movies about the surfaces of different planets. I was always late to boring lessons like that. We didn't need them anyway, we had already finished out tests for the year.

"It's Miss Cel, Cole. Don't be so informal." Jack lectured. He was an A plus student in everything. Me myself I was a A student in most lessons, but I didn't aim anywhere for myself.

"Whatever Mr. Magical World!" I said in a mocking tone. We called him that because of his shows that he watches.

"I'd wish you'd stop calling me that." He said. I didn't really care what he wanted me to do. His fault for showing me in the first place.

We walked up to the door of what is our lesson. "Whatever were here now!" I said a bit too loudly, we just ruined out dramatic entrance.

Jack opened the door first and went straight to the teacher. "Sorry I'm late Miss Cel." I went and sat at the back of the classroom in my seat.

The classroom was already dark, guess they were about to put the movie on. "And you?" Miss Cel asked me.

I didn't really care about being late to this lesson. "Not really sorry!" I just sat there waiting for the movie to come on. She just scowled as Jack took his seat next to me.

The movie came on and I just stared out the window. Jack leaned over to me and said." You really need to respect people more." He said in a stern tone.

I didn't want to care, but he was pretty much the only person that would stick by me. This was the last lesson of the day and we were going hunting after school.

About 20 minutes later Jack was looking down to what I presume was his phone. It was emitting a light that was getting brighter slowly. No one else was looking at him because we was at the back. "Miss Cel, I feel sick. Can I go down to the nurses office?" She dismissed him absentmindedly. "Cole, come for me tonight I'm still going." I nodded to him.

I think the only reason no one saw him was because we were at the back alone. There was only one other person who sat there. A girl named Alysha. She went missing a few days ago. The last thing we ever saw of her was she was on her phone in lesson. The teacher called her out because of it and she said she felt sick. We never managed to see her again after that. Later that night her parents declared her missing.

It does sound like what's happening to Jack right now. I realised what was going to happen just then, I got up and left the classroom without anyone noticing. Crap, where did he go? He said the nurses office. I ran across the school where the nurses office was. He wasn't in the nurses office. My phone vibrated as I was walking out of the nurses office.

It was from Jack: Just went home, I'm still up for hunting though.

I took a deep breath and relaxed. My friends wouldn't go missing. He was too smart for that, he knew he couldn't survive without his mom constantly making him home cooked foods.

I looked at the clock, it was five minutes until the end of the day. I wouldn't be home in the next five minutes anyway so I decided to go home a tad bit early. I walked out of the front entrance unnoticed, it's not like I was sneaking around like Splinter Cell it's just that no one noticed me.

I walked off the school premises and went over to the bike rack. Me and Jack usually put out bikes next to each others, but since he was already gone I had no bike next to mine. I had a red bmx that rode fast, even with that I couldn't beat Jack on his mountain bike. He was pretty much better in every subject except surviving in the wilderness. So I wanted to teach him how to do that. It doesn't bother me that he is better than me at a lot of things, I'm actually proud of him. He is quite modest and doesn't boast.

I got on to my bmx and rid across a field nearby I wanna get home as fast as I can so I can pack my stuff for tonight. It took me about seven minutes to get home so I was pretty much after the school bell. I opened the door and greeted my mom and then went upstairs to pack. I ran into my room and changed immediately into my hunting clothes. My hunting clothes were pretty much these: I had a pair of camo bottoms which were waterproofed by moi, a normal black t shirt and a big camo jacket the was insulation on the inside with charcoal to keep it warm. And a pair of standard boots that had just been polished.

I grabbed my air rifle which was a .22 with a synthetic barrel and a badass skellington stock. I put that into its homemade case which fit onto the back of the jacket. I also grabbed my knife which was a beautiful bastard that had it's very own set of blacked out teeth with a spike that is able to be pulled out of the bottom of the handle. I was ready now, I ran down the stairs of my house and ran out of the door without saying bye to anyone.

I made it to Jack's house with a new world record for a marathon. Just kidding although that would've been cool that didn't happen. The plants in his garden were dead and the bricks looked like they were about to crumble. Man, if I didn't come here often I'd think this place were haunted. Although his plants being dead is a bit weird he loves them.

I knocked on the door and didn't get an answer, I looked through his window but I couldn't see anything because the lights were off. I was about to knock again when I got a text. I pulled my phone out of the tight waterproof pocket and read the message.

Jack: Just come up. Got something cool to show you! ;)

I texted him back saying :

Cole: I swear if you jump me, I'll throw you out of your window!

I opened his door and walked in. The wallpaper was tore off the wall. "Hi, is it painting day?" I shouted up, I would usually shout something witty up but there was nothing I could think of. I walked into his room and saw he wasn't there, he had left his lamp on though. I walked over to his bed and sat on it. I got my phone out and texted him.

Where are you? I'm in your room!

I looked around and saw a four black rocks and 2 scorch marks. There was a Dollar sign with the word greed imbedded into it. There was a Dagger with the word Deception. A Pair of wings with the word Treachery. And there was a sword and shield, which was odd among these. I looked on the wall near the desk and it had the words scorched into it.

'To balance out their world'

That was really creepy. I stepped back accidentally stood on something. It cause me to trip up and hit my head on the floor. My vision was going blurry, I was still able to see the words on the roof.

'Is it Honor or Chaos?'

I jumped to my feet and tried to walk. Instead of moving I stumbled into the desk and knocked the rocks off. I picked them up one by one and put them back onto the desk. When I grabbed the sword and shield I immediately threw it back down. I burnt my hand on it. I looked at my palm apart from it being red, it had the faint outline of a 'H' and on the other side of the palm an 'r'. This was fucking creepy now. I ran out of Jack's house and across the street before getting my phone out.

What did you do to your room? That was creepy as shit.

I kept my phone out to see if he would text back. It kept becoming harder to see as it was starting to go brighter. I kept my phone in my hand as I was walking through the entrails of the woods back home. I kept walking checking my phone every minute to ensure that he hadn't texted back , but each time I saw it was brighter. I stopped on a rock nearby a lake to make sure my phone wasn't broke. It wasn't until then I realised that it wasn't my phone glowing but my hands.

It must be Jack's room that did this. There is no way it wasn't, it could be radiated in that room and thats why I'm glowing. Thats obviously better that mutating, but if I don't stop glowing I'll make people blind.

I was in a state of denial blaming it on anything I could. No admitting I was becoming something off the Twilight saga.

I tried to stand up, but it was no use to me. The soil near the rock was weak so it just slip from underneath me taking me into the lake nearby.


My body was numb, I had a need to breath, like I was suffocating. I tried to open my eyes, but all I got was a stinging sensation. The feeling to my body was coming back and I realised I was wet.

I had fell into a lake and passed out. How I wasn't dead I didn't know, but I'll take life over death most days. I swam up quickly to the surface and took a deep breath of air to refill my lungs. I was treading the water to make sure I wouldn't sink again. I forced my eyes open until the stinging and the blur was gone. Once they had subsided I saw I wasn't near an edge, I was in the middle of the lake. I didn't recognise anywhere where I could have fell in and I sure as hell didn't remember the lake being this big. I swam to an edge to get out and see where I was and where I needed to go.

I looked around, but only found trees that looked charred. I didn't actually have a clue where I was. For what I know this isn't even the same town as the one my home was in. My ears started to empty the water out that was in them and I was able to hear again. I heard nothing, it was silent. I waited to hear a bird around, but there was none.

I sat down near the edge of the lake and checked my air rifle it was still working properly. It was like no water had got into it. The reason I didn't take my clothes off to dry then is because it was warm outside and they were already drying on their own. It didn't feel like Autumn like it was, but felt warm like the end of spring.

I looked at the sky and the sun was in a position where it was almost seven o'clock. It was almost about to go dark soon. I needed a fire going. I grabbed some dry rocks and stick from the forest before heading back to the lake. Before I got to the lake I heard a faint scream. I put it off to being just wind blowing through leaves, but then I heard it again much louder. It was getting closer.

About 10 seconds later a bush rattled and a screaming mint green pony jumped through. Thats right it was screaming. It ran over to me and I got into a fighting stance. "Help...me!" She said completely out of breath.

It fucking spoke. It fucking spoke. Since when do ponies fucking speak. Another bush rustling caused me to jump. At the same time as I jumped a lion jumped out of the bush. This lion had a scorpion tail and wings. Since about when Manticores existed

Right now I couldn't be shocked anymore I was just worrying about the manticore in front of me. I couldn't run because it was faster, I couldn't climb a tree because of its tail and wings. The only way we could walk away alive was to take it down. "Get in the water!" I commanded the mint green unicorn that was whimpering behind me. She did as I said straight away.

I pulled out my knife and I was ready to take the manticore. I couldn't shoot my air rifle from here because we was too close and it wouldn't kill it. I had my knife in hand when the manticore charged. I sidestepped out of the way and slashed it's wing. It wouldn't be able to fly now. It tried to stab me with it's tail but I dodged it. The tail was a big problem assuming it had poison in it. The manticore was charging at me from the other side and I tried to sidestep again. Unfortunately that failed when it flared it's wings and hit me with them. I did the only thing I could do in that situation that wouldn't get me killed. I grabbed on. I managed to climb onto it's back, but now it was running around madly. The only time I could get the kill was now. I mashed my blade into where I presumed it's spine was, but it didn't get paralyzed. Instead it flapped its one working wing and knocked me into a tree. I sat against the tree and waited, there was one more chance to get the kill if I did it right. I had pulled the spike out of the handle of the knife and since the knife was stuck in its back I couldn't use that. The manticore slowly approached me as I lay limp with my spike in hand. I waited for it to get close enough, but it was taking it's time. When it eventually got close enough it thought I was dead. It opened its jaw and roared victory over another predator. The manticore celebrated a bit too early because when it roared I stuck my spike through the top of its mouth and straight into it's brain killing it instantly.

I pulled the spike out of its mouth and the knife out of its back and wiped them clean on its fur coat. I walked over to the lake where the unicorn was quivering in shallow water. "You can come out now!" I said a bit too loudly because the unicorn jumped.

Her shaking slowly subsided but she didn't turn around. "Is it dead?" She asked in a quiet voice.

I changed my tone for her to a quiet one. "Yes. You're safe now." I whispered. "Can I ask you a question?"

The mint green pony turned around and answered. "Yes."

I asked the question that I needed to ask as she walked out the lake. "Since you're a unicorn can you do magic?" I asked for two reasons. One of them being if I ever got back to Earth I would tell Jack about how theres a world with magic.

"Yes why?" She asked curiously.

The second reason was this. "Well if I died out her I wouldn't want to be eaten by a load of vultures." I said. The air went solemn as I asked my next question. "So do you have any fire magic?" I asked.

It seemed she got the point because she went over to the dead manticore and started to cremate it. We watched as the predator burned away into the atmosphere and into ash. After that was done I walked over to one of the trees and started to carve something into it.

I stopped carving half way through and looked at the pony. She must have got what I was doing when she looked at the tree. "Goliath." Yeah that was good.

Once I had finished carving it said: Rest In Peace. Goliath.

I sat down near the lake and stayed silent for a while. The mint pony came over to me and sat down next to me. "Thanks for saving me...."

When she paused in the middle of her sentence I was a bit confused before I realised I had not told her my name. "Cole."

"Cole, I'm Lyra!" She said enthusiastically. Probably because she had been given a second chance at living. But at another creatures expense.

"I don't mean to offend you, but what exactly are you?" She asked the understandable question that every alien movie has.

"To you I would be an alien." She gave a little laugh at this, it made me smile too. Not once had I thought I would be saying that line seriously.

"So did you just get here?" She asked looking at my would be attempt no.1 fire.

"Yes"

"So you have no where to go?" She asked I wasn't quite taking the hint.

"No." She was just making me feel depressed now.

"Ugh. Do you want to stay at my house?" She finally asked. Maybe because I wasn't getting the hints.

"Oh, Yeah. Okay. That would be nice." I said. I now had a home to go to.

The journey home was uneventful and we just talked about stuff about Equestria. Thats where we are.
