Outcasted Hero
Freak Out
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs I continued to watch the creature that was in front of me, I saw 'her' stop suddenly and begin to look around. I had no idea what it was looking for when 'she' laid 'her' abnormally large eyes on me and 'her' expression appeared to turn into one of horror. It was then I realized that 'she' must have heard me a few moments ago, thought that there was a predator nearby, and had located me, standing outside of a cave like some kind of stalker.
I was brought of my thoughts when I heard the rustling of some bushes behind the pegasus, which had also caught 'her' attention as well, which was made apparent by the way 'she' seemed to jump as soon as 'she' heard it. I didn't take my eyes off of either the bushes or the pegasus as I began to feel as though there was danger about. I didn't suspect that that feeling was not coming from the pegasus as I would've felt it the moment I laid eyes upon it, which meant that it must have been coming from whatever was in those bushes.
"Come on out whatever you are, 'cause if you don't then I'm going after you myself." I said as I started walking towards the bushes, wary of my surroundings and being prepared just in case this turns out to be a trap of some kind with the pegasus now watching me, with what I figured must have been worry, as I was standing directly in front of the bushes which had abruptly stopped. That did not strike me as a good sign, it never was a good sign in situations like this.
I stood there for a few more moments before I decided to check and see if there was anything still there only to be jumped by some strange creature. I fell onto my butt and tried to quickly get back up but to no avail as I felt the weight of whatever came out of the fauna on my back and pinning me to the ground. I turned my head the best I could to get a look of what had me eating dirt to see the face of what appeared to me to look like a wooden wolf head. Its glowing, green eyes watching me intensely, and its sharp, jagged timber teeth bared, ready to deliver the finishing blow.
"You really think you're of any match for me you son of a bitch!" I snarled out as I grabbed ahold of, what I believed to be its leg, and pulled it out from under the beast. I managed to get to fall onto my back and I was able to get up with the wooden wolf's weight not all channeled into one point on my body anymore. I flung the creature off my back as I stood back up, but it didn't on the ground like I would've like it. I figured I couldn't fight this thing, (mainly because I don't know what would even hurt it, besides fire that is but i seriously doubt I'll able to get this damn thing to stay away from me long enough to get one going), so I had the choice to run, but where is the question that is stopping me from doing so.
I looked around for anything I could use to at least be able to defend myself with and make sure I don't become this timber wolf, that's what I'm going to call for now until I figure out what it's really called, next meal. It was then that I saw that the pegasus from that had been there before was now gone. Not gone gone mind you as I could still see 'her' running away but 'she' wasn't here anymore and that gave me an idea.
"Maybe that pegasus has a herd or something nearby and if I follow it, it will lead me to them and they could fight this thing off for me; or at least divert its attention to them rather than me that would be good too." I made a break for my bike which I had decide to prop on the cave entrance, pointing in the direction that the pegasus was going, so that I could make my get away. As soon as I hopped on and started riding though, I soon discovered one big flaw in my plan; I was still exhausted and my legs felt ready to give out on me at any moment now, but I still pushed through the burning in them as I was getting closer to the pegasus, and judging by the way the trees and shrubbery parted, I would say the forest's exit.
I have to say though, for a creature so small, this pony sure could run as I seemed to never be able to catch up with it no matter how hard I pedaled. Soon enough we got closer and closer to the light and yet the timberwolf had already stopped chasing me and that had gotten me rather curious, why in the world would it stop just like that; if it had tried a little harder it could've gotten me. It's of no concern now as I passed through the trees that signified the exit/entrance of the forest and then I heard something I never heard anyone call me, besides myself that is whenever I have one of those self-discovery moments and I realize just how fucked in the head I am; I still don't do anything to change that though considering that I love the kind of person I am and no matter what anyone tries to do I won't change that.
Aaanyway, back the what was happening at the current moment, wait a minute, what was happening again. . . oh right the screaming pegasus. As we passed out of the forest I heard the pegasus scream, "SOMEPONY HELP ME, THERE'S A MONSTER CHASING ME!" Ah the good old days of when I truly acted as a monster came back to me after she said that, but unfortunately my trip down memory lane would have to wait for later as I spotted a purple beam of energy coming at me.
"Oooooh shi. . it!" I yelled as I barely managed to dodge the beam that was aimed at my head. "Can't I go one minute without something trying to kill for more than two god damn seconds, please." I asked to the expansive universe around me. I got my answer in the form of another beam of the same purple energy hit my bike and knock it out from under me. "Well this is going to fucking hurt," with that I am skidding and bouncing on the ground, each hit filling me with excruciating pain as I went along. By the time I stopped, the only thing I felt was pain. I couldn't feel the soft breeze that was blowing around, or the soft grass that I was currently laying in, no there was only the pain and the wounds that now adorned my form.
Despite all this though I still tried to get up even the pain now coursing through me, but it seemed that my body wasn't as willing to put itself through anymore punishment and had decided to not respawn to any of the commands my mind was sending it. So here I lay, just looking at the sky above me and watching as the few clouds there were float about without a care in the world.
My vision of the blue sky was replaced by the sight of a set of violet orbs that were looking down upon me. "What are you and why were after my friend Fluttershy?" She asked me like I had stolen her puppy.
"Oh looking here, another talking pony. . . hmm correction, a talking unicorn pony, that is just fan-fucking-tastic, what's next, is a dragon going to appear next to me too?" As you can probably tell I am really pissy right now and don't need this shi-
"Hey Twilight, did you guys catch that thing that was chasing Fluttershy?" And I am officially done with whatever fucking situation that I've been dropped into.
"Spike can't you see that we're trying to talk to whatever this thing is?" The lavender unicorn sounded a might irritated. "Now I ask you again, why were you chasing Fluttershy and what are you!?" I kept quiet, but only because I find to fact that she is getting angry about all of this hilarious.
I drew my attention back towards the sky and completely ignoring the unicorn and dragon, as well as failed to notice that there were more ponies gathering around me but again I didn't care in the slightest right now. "To think I am in this damn mess all because I wanted to do some good for once, *sigh* , I guess it can't be helped whenever it comes down to my freakshow of a life. I guess that is what makes it fun though and why I don't a thing, especially not helping out that woman, I just wonder what happened to those fuckers that were chasing me."
I was officially zoned-out and oblivious to the world around as I had shut my eyes and left my mind to wonder; I wasn't going to be sleeping any time soon though, during that wipeout I had hit my head pretty hard the ground a few times and I most likely got a concussion from it. I already had a seizure a few years ago and was not risking possibly causing further harm to my head, and even more importantly my mind seeing it's already fucked up enough. Though it would seem that not everyone agreed with that sentiment as I started to feel a pounding on my head that was quickly bringing me away from the plain of thoughts and back to the whatever the hell was going on around me once more.
"AH, DAMN IT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!?" I shouted as my hands darted up to my head to stop the cyan pegasus who was hitting my with their hoof.
"We want answers out of you and I'm going to do whatever it takes to get them out." Well it looks like we got an arrogant bitch in our mitts this should provide with some entertainment.
"Well if you really want those answers then I got something you can do." I put on an evil smile on my face as I said this and watched as that smug look on her face faded away.
"W- What would you want me to do?" Oh that nervousness I can implant into others so easily. No matter how big and bad you think you are I can always find a way.
"First I want you to give a full body massage because unless you couldn't tell I'm hurting bad right now, and after you're done with that I want you to suck my dick." And there's the face of complete and utter embarrassment, oh how I wish I could pull out my phone and take a picture of the once arrogant pegasus. The way her blush went from her cheeks to her entire face made it look like a fresh, plump tomato was utterly fantastic.
"I- I- I- who do you think I am!? I'm not some whorse who you can just ask to 'suck your dick'." The still blushing pegasus stuttered out.
"Maybe not, but you did say you would do anything to get some info out of me and I'm telling the means on which to get it." I said with an evil smirk. I know this may blow up in my face in a few moments but right now I think I'm going to enjoy myself. Though the very next moment proved that theory as I felt her buck me into the wall of some nearby building, and I somehow managed to with my back against it and sitting up.
"You deserve worse than that you perverted freak." She scowled at me. "One way or another we will get some answers out you, and personally I would prefer if the princess came here to 'question' you herself, seeing as how she is over a thousand years old and probably has experience from the past with this sort of thing. What do you think Twilight?" She asked as the lavender unicorn, who I would presume to be this ,Twilight, she is referring to, walked up beside her.
"That may be what we will have to do seeing as we don't know what he's capable of, but I doubt that she's going to resort to torturing him Rainbow Dash." Twilight informed Rainbow Dash.
"So do you want me to send her a letter then Twilight?" the little dragon asked the unicorn.
"Yes Spike, thank you; but be sure to inform her that we are keeping an eye on 'IT', and that 'IT' is injured." And now I'm an 'it', isn't that very hospitable of these ponies who had just caused me great harm and think that I'm the monster in the situation.
"Hey, you do know I have a name right? Maybe if you had bothered to ask me I might have told you what it was." I said, but I doubt that any of the ponies in front of me actually heard me.
There were now six of them in front of me and all of them doing their own thing. Twilight was still telling the dragon, Spike I believe his name was, what she wanted written down in her letter.
The pink-maned pegasus from earlier was here and trying to hide from behind Rainbow Dash, who was keeping her magenta eyes on me the whole time, but was also peeking at me with her blue eyes; that had appeared to have a mortal terror within them and it would seem three more ponies have come over to get a look at what was going on.
One was a white unicorn with violet mane and tail and also had blue eyes that were a shade darker that the pegasus, another was just a regular pony that had a pink coat with slightly darker pink, poofy mane and tail as well as bright, baby blue eyes, and the last one also looked to be a normal pony with an orange coat, blonde mane and tail, that were both done up in pony tails, with emerald green eyes. They appeared to be studying me and watching my every movement more so out of curiosity than fear or caution.
I didn't really acknowledge any of them I opted to preoccupy myself with one of my favorite things to do anytime; listening to my music really, really loud so as to block the world around me. I had just enough strength in my arms to stick them into my front pant pockets and pull out my phone, take god is didn't get busted after the fall, and proceeded to one of my playlists. All the while the five ponies that were around were watching intensely at what I was doing, though none of them looked like they were going to do anything to stop me, so I just popped in both earbuds, hit the play button on the first in the playlist, and soon enough I was just sitting there listening to "In The End" By Linkin Park and let the troubled thoughts and pain fade away as I did, though I never let myself slip into unconsciousness.
As I sat there, eyes closed, music playing, and my fingers tapping my leg as if I was playing an instrument, I felt the ground near me thumping as if something was coming towards me and it got stronger to closer whoever was approaching me got, but then it stopped. Only a second later I felt a tap on my right shoulder, Only a tap. . . hmm I was suspecting more. I took out my earbuds, but didn't turn off my music, and cast my gaze to my right. "What is it now, can't you see I'm trying to relax?" I complained to Twilight whose violet eyes were staring at me.
"I just wanted to see if you'd be willing to give some information before the princess got here." She stated nonchalantly.
I pondered it over for a second before responding, "Alright fine, what is it you want to know?"
"Well first off I would like to know what you are and what your name is?" She asked the two obvious questions I was expecting.
"I am a human being and my name is David Herrera, though most people who aren't family just refer to me as Demon." I answered her question and it would seem that telling my nickname that I was given a while has peeked her interest a little further.
"Why do others call you a demon?" She is probably expecting me to tell her that I did something absolutely horrendous.
"No, no, people don't call a demon, they call me Demon, and although there's good reason for that it isn't for anything as bad as I'm pretty sure you're expecting. In all honesty there are only a few that know the true reason why I was given that nickname, while everyone else just calls me by it because that's the name I'd introduce myself by most of time." It would look as though I've confused her a little.
"But why would you want others to refer to you as 'Demon'? Surely it must hurt you when others call you that as if you're some kind of monster." Twilight said sympathetically.
"You're really going to say that after what you just did to me." As to further emphasize my statement I started to coughing violently and hacking up some blood.
"Oh no, are you alright?" I heard the frightened pegasus from before ask. I turned my attention towards her and meet her gaze, but not really wanting to say anything I just stare at her for a moment before leaning my head back up against the wall. I just lie there for a few moments, looking up at the sky, before I notice a bright light shining just out out of my peripherals though I didn't really care all that much about it.
As I was still staring up at the sky two more ponies made their presence known to me as they blocked my view of the vast ocean of blue above me. When I first saw them I thought that they were unicorns considering that they had horns, but when I went to get a look at their forms I saw that they also had wing.
So now we got alicorns here huh? I guess it's a good thing that my constant searching for proof that dragons really did exist on Earth at one point have lead me to understand what all of these creatures, though they were thought to be only myths, are and I don't have to strain my body any further by freaking out. I thought as I took in the appearances of the two newcomers.
They both were taller than any of the ponies I've seen so far, though the one pure white one with the multi-colored mane and tail that seemed to be blowing in some nonexistent wind, violet eyes, and gold regalia, was the tallest one here. . . maybe I would have to be standing to compare our heights. The other alicorn was a midnight with both mane and tail looking like a starry night sky, blue eyes, and wearing a black breastplate with light blue horseshoes. They both were observing me with distrustful eyes.
After a while of having every pony here just stare at me in absolute silence I decided to speak up, "So are any of you going to do anything or are you going to stand staring like a bunch of motherfucking creepers, because it's starting to get on my nerves and this pain isn't making matters any better though I guess that is of no concern to any of you considering you the ones who did this to me. All because I was trying to make sure I wasn't ripped to shreds by those damn timberwolves." Yet again I've allowed my anger to flare up, which is very bad thing if I let it happen too much. It's part of the reason why I'm called Demon by just about everyone I've ever met.
I need to get these flare ups under control or else it could end up being disastrous for everyone, including me, but I don't have the ability to utilize any of my anger control techniques to help me out as long as I'm in pain. I thought as I awaited their response.
It took a few moments, but they finally thought I was worthy enough to speak to, "Well you certainly are a strange creature, but I see that you may not be as dangerous as my student made you out to be, wouldn't you agree Luna?" The white alicorn said.
"I would agree sister," Oh great they're sisters, that's going to make things so much easier, "Though it would appear to be tough, judging by the injuries that were described in the letter any other would've surely lost consciousness awhile ago." Luna responded to her sister.
"Oh believe me I'm more than just dangerous, but as long as you stay on my good side you won't ever become a victim of that side of me." I know that probably won't help me befriend these ponies but I don't like being underestimated by those who have no idea what I'm truly like. "And just for information, you're right, with the kind of pain I'm in any normal person, or pony in your case, would have passed out right on the spot but I'm far stronger than my appearances may suggest though that doesn't mean that I'm not in a crap ton of pain right now." If they can't get the message this time I swear someone is getting a slap up side the head until they learn to stop being so god damn stupid.
"Yes is he right, we need to get him to a hospital as soon as possible; Luna could you please cast your sleep spell on him so that we can transport him?" As soon as she finished saying that I saw a blue aura surround Luna's horn as well as a great sense of sudden drowsiness washed over me as I drifted to sleep with the last thing I remember seeing is the other six ponies coming towards me.
