Chapter the only

"What the hell...."

I shouted, or did I just think that?

I try to speak up but there is no echo, so I'm not sure if i really speak or just think I'm speaking.

Then I tried to open my mouth, but I can't, so I propably wasn't saying a word after all.

I feel terrible, like I have worked a day and a night without any food, I'm dizzy and tired, I feel awfully weak.

Every single of my joints akes, my bunes weel like they are broken and I'm heavily breathing because my loungs ake.

I slowly come to my senses and I open my eyes, everything is blurry and I barely can see what I have before me,

but I realize that I was standing there the whole time since I regained consciousness.

It is a very dimlitted area where I am, a little bit darker than the rest of the area, I think it's a city or a small town,

I never have been here before, but It looks like it's in the center of a town since there are many old buildings.

The sun is setting appearently cuz everything is in red, orange and yellow light, I hate it, it is too pretty for me right now!

I try to wipe my hair out of my face with my left hand since I need the right one to hold myself stable

leaning against the cold wall behind me, but there seems to be something in my hand, it looks like a pipe

or just some sort of hexagonal shaped steel, propably a crowbar, I can only see my hand and

this hexagonal shaped steel rod sitting there like it belongs there.

I try to drop it but when I tried my fingers won't budge, they seem to be glued to the steel or are just not responding

according to the pain in my muscles I could have cramped them due using excessive force with them.

But what's scaring me is not the fact that I can't drop that piece of metal,

it is the fact that it is covered in blood and appearently both of my arms are covered in blood too.

It is still wet and dripping down from my left hand, I can't look on my right hand cuz as I already said,

I need it to keep myself from tumbeling down to the wet stonefloor like a sack of potatoes,

but according to how strangely wharm it feels at some spots it seems to be bloodcovered as well.

after processing all that Information I decide to step away from the wall, slowly and carefully,

my legs still feel numb, surprisingly I didn't fall down and could walk, slowly and stagger.

I'm cold, I feel like I'm frozen to the bones but, since I have no clue where I am right now

and I don't see anyone else around i just keep walking through the streets without any destination,

just seeking for food, water and a wharm place to sleep.

I managed to walk for a few steps when I suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness.

I layed there on the floor for propably a whole night and half a day since it was noon when I regained consciousness.

But I felt a lot better now, it seems like I really just needet some rest.

I stood up from my resting place, still not having eaten or drank anything within the last two days, this took

heavy effect on my body, the light of the sun which shone brightly and very hot down from the sky stung in my eyes,

my head akes as soon as I opened them so I just tried to open them very slowly and carefully.

I looked at my hand and fortunately this steelthingy was gone and I also couldn't see any blood on my hands,

could be cuz it was raining during the night according to my wet clothes.

After a quick check on my left hand I noticed that I could move it again, my muscles are sore and every move hurts,

but it's better than not being able to move my fingers at all.

But what made me happier was that I was able to open my mouth again,

but it was dry since I havn't drank anything in days now.

I heared the noise of a Highway nearby but there where no people to be found in this area,

I called out for help but there wouldnt come any help for me.

It's almost like they evacuated these buildings in a hurry since there was still everything

as it was when they where at work or at lunch in the restaurants, the dishes where still on the tables,

some of them where found by crows which sat at them and ate what was ment to be a human's dish.

But instead of one there are five now who have plenty enough to eat for the next 3 days at the least.

Since there was noone around and I needet to eat and drink I decided to get me some stuff from

a grocery store but since there was noone at work I thought I could give it a shot to

replace the clerk and do the billing myself.

Was kinda fun to do that thou, I always wanted to do that once.

I bought some sandwhiches and cola for lunch, not exactly healthy,

but I had something to chew on and some quick energy to power up my braincells.

After I was done with eating i got tired again but this time

I decidet to rest on a bench instead of just sleeping on the uncomfortable cold, wet street.

A bed was found soon and I used a tablecloth as a blanket, fortunately that

fancy restaurant I was at had very comfy benches and cushions so I slept very well, but short.

I woke up after one or two hours, it was in the early afternoon,

I decidet to continue my search for an other human being.

I was walking for a while now and was calling out for someone but I never recieved a response.

I entered some sort of parking garage, it was cool here, now I noticed that it turned awfully hot today,

It could have been summer then, the street has dried up by now

and the sun was mercyless in doing her best to make you sweat.

After I reached the other side of the parking garage there was a small ledge with a small wall.

I leaned on the wall with my hands enjoying the wharm breeze which still carried the smell of rain with it,

but also different kinds of flowers, that was pretty much the best thing in my, wait just a moment, where did my memory go?

It was then when I finally noticed that I must be suffering some sort of amnesia but except for food,

drinks and sleep I had nothing to really worry about, well, except for finding someone else.

While I was looking down the road beneath the parking garage I finally spotted someone!

Yes, an other human being, I was so happy at the very second I saw him!

He was a tall white stallion with a blue mane, I called out to him but as he heared me he looked back, shot that terrified look at me, turned around and started to run.

I leapt over the wall and sprained my ankle slightly at my landing, but It was not bad enough to stop me.

To make sure he did really hear me and not imagine something else I decidet to yell:

"Don't run away, please, I need help" which soundet very desperately but it made him run even faster,

like I thretened him in some way.

I ran after him but he just happens to be faster than me, I gave up after I lost sight of him after a few turns.

What might have been the reason that a stallion like that who could be a bodyguard

is so scared that he ran away from me like that?

What surprised me most was especially this terriefied look in his eyes after I called out for him!

Did I do something bad enough to scare someone like that?

Did I do something which made the officialy evacuate appearently the whole town?

Did I kill someone?

Did I...

Before I could complete my thought I collapsed propably because my body was still to weak to run like that.

When I regained consciousness I found myself tied up to a Wear with the sherriff silver star and some policeponies

above me just nodding at me, then i was put in a ambulance and they brought me to a hospital.

I passed out on the way inside so I didn't really have any idea what happened after that.

When I woke up I found myself in a hospitalroom, there was an other bed next to me but it was empty.

Shortly after I woke up entered Silver Star my room who told me that I was in an accident

and freed myself from a wreck with the crowbar, the area has been evacuated because

there was a transport of toxic chemicals involved in it.

I was lucky that I survived at all.

After I got better they providet me a house and a job as a construction worker since they where unable to identify me.

Everything was perfect so far except for just only one thing,

I had no past....
