Chapter 2: The Escape

Previous Chapter

Violet sighed as she opened the door to her home, shoved Blitz in, and locked it, making sure nopony was following them. She turned to Blitz to find him scraping his chin against the floor, until getting up with a frown on his face.
"This floor doesn't seem right. Not enough mind sacks." Blitz said. Pushing aside the sacks comment, Violet proceeded to take a chair and set Blitz on it. Having looked already for a rope and not finding one, Violet used Blitz's current state to her advantage.
"You know you'll never be able to get past those ropes tying you down, right?" Violet said, gesturing towards Blitz. He then started to struggle but didn't move out of the chair.
"Oh! You sneaky coconut! You're working for them, aren't you?!" He yelled, obviously believing the existence of the invisible rope.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. Keep talking. It isn't helping." Violet said, getting annoyed.
"You won't get away with this! Let me go! Or face the wrath of the Devil's Refrigerator!" Blitz yelled, thrashing about. Violet sighed, feeling really exhausted. She looked down at her stomach rumbling, and she clutched it, feeling quite hungry. Blitz seemed to hear this.
"Mother? Is that you? Where is the frying pan?" He asked, constantly looking around the room. Violet sighed yet again, and turned down the hall into the kitchen. Meanwhile, Blitz looked around the room, for any means of escape. Suddenly, a snake appears!
"Come here boy! Come hereee!" He called out to nothing in particular. He then started screaming and looked at his chest, where invisible blood seeped out. But he sucked it up and leapt out of the window, a large crash heard behind him. Violet noticed this and ran inside to find a chair and a broken window with glass all over the floor.
"Oh, this is bad..." She muttered.

Meanwhile, at Storm Glider's house...

This is the life!
I relaxed back in my jacuzzi, feeling all pains slip away with ease. My butler, Henry, started to approach me.
"Is there anything I can get you, sir?" Henry asked.
"Nah, go take a break dude. You've worked hard enough today." I replied, waving my hoof.
"As you wish." He walked off.
I sighed and enjoyed the warn bubbles on my skin.
*BANG BANG BANG!*
What the bu-
I opened my eyes, irritated, and slowly got out of the jacuzzi, grabbing the towel next to me.
*BANG BANG BANG!*
"I'm coming! Sheesh." I said, getting more annoyed by the loud and constant banging. After wrapping the towel around my body, I trotted over to the door and opened it to reveal a very panicked (and sexy) Violet, who was panting.
"Oh, what brings you by?" I asked, trying to score her for at least the hundredth time.
"Blitz... Hospital... Insane... Missing... Help!" She panted.
"Baby, you're going to have to speak in a full sentence for me to even know what you're trying to say." I said.
"Come on, loverboy, we need to find Blitz." She said, clutching onto my neck. She pulled me away from the front door and ripped my towel off.
"Baby, slow down, there's more than enough time for me." I cooed. She rolled her eyes.
"I'll explain on the way, just follow me!" She barked.

They're EVERYWHERE. Blitz though as he ran down the street.
He took the time to stop and growl at every pony around him. They all responded with questioning glares. A few even came up to see what was wrong, and he responded with a shrill cry and a sprint in the opposite direction. without looking, Blitz mistakenly ran directly into a tree, and didn't take note of the small stream of blood leaking from his scrunched up nose.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Blitz said, hugging the tree as if it were a newborn baby. "I found you at last! We need to get away from these hideous, vile, and tragic creatures of nature..." He said, pointing out to every pony around him as they all frowned in slight anger at the insults he was cracking. "...known as musk melon!"
"...What?" Somepony finally asked, breaking the silence.
"IT SPEAKS! We must defend ourselves!" Blitz yelled as he ran forward and tackled the pony to the ground. Eventually, surrounding ponies pulled him off the unlucky stallion, and Blitz looked to the tree in agony.
"Save yourself! I won't stand a chance..." He said, looking down and closing his eyes in defeat. The ponies holding him scowled and dropped him to the ground. Everypony in the surrounding area left and Blitz opened his eyes once more.
"I... I'm free! Oh, thank Celestia, I'm free! I'm not dead!" He then looked back down again.
"I must stop them from further harm." He then ran off, smacking into a building and apologizing to it, and left to find some materials.

"Baby, where are we going?" Storm asked behind me, as I half dragged him across the street.
"We're finding Blitz." I responded for the third time.
"Blitz? What are we doing finding Blitz?" He asked, dropping the flirting personality for just a second.
"Okay. I want you to listen veeery carefully." I said, stopping and looking at him. He slowly nodded.
"Blitz was in an accident." I said, very slowly. Storm Glider nodded.
"He was in the hospital." I continued. He nodded.
"He lost his sanity." Nod.
"He escaped from my house." Nod.
"And we need to find him." Nod.
"So can you help me?" Storm hesitated, but smiled coyly.
"Anything for you, Sweetheart."
I facehoofed and continued dragging him along the street.
