Chapter 1: Where am I?

Dust. Pain. Dust filled my lunges. I felt the pain on my knees. Thank goodness that Woods is bad in shooting. He only hit my leg. Woods, David, Hudson, ... this guy Raul Menendez, he has them all. He killed Hudson and he will kill David and Woods too. I opened my eyes. I breath was fast and heavy. Trees, trees everywhere. I looked around and I wasn't in the cottage anymore. I tried to stand up but my knees wont let me stand up. The pain was to much for me. Oh god David, where are you.

"DAVID!!!" I shouted. Nothing. Only some birds flew away.

"DAAAAAAAAVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!" I shouted again and again of course nothing.

Oh god no no no, please god please ... I hope Menendez wont kill him. If I will catch this FUCKING ASSHOLE I WILL KILL THIS GUY. And he can be together with his sister again. This guy was an psychopath. Dragovich, Graf Chenko, Steiner, these guys were already psychopaths but this guy was ... I have never seen a person who is so much full of hate.
I tried to stand up again. I tried to hold me on one of my knees. Suddenly I saw them again. The red numbers. The numbers. They already made me crazy one time. I can still see them. I thought after beating Dragovich, Graf Chenko and Steiner it was over but it wasn't. The numbers ... they showed me something ... something I don't know. But what was it. Where am I? How the fuck did I get here? I started to walk a few steps on this dark, lost and scary place. The wind was cold and ... I am a soldier, I usually don't feel something like fear but this time, it was different. I still saw the numbers and suddenly my son David again.

"DAVID!" I shouted and tried to reach the place where he sat. He was still sitting in the same position. As I reached the place and trying to touch him, he disappeared.

"DAVID! NOOOO!!" I said and moved on. I heard a female voice. Laughing.

"Hello? Who is there?" and looked around but nothing.

"No no no Alex, that's the numbers, nothing of this is true. Its only the numbers."

"Graf Chenko, Dragovich, Steiner ... THEY ALL MUST DIE!" said a familiar voice. It was Reznov.

"REZNOV! You are dead. You cant talk to me anymore."

"THE NUMBERS MASON! WHAT DO THEY MEAN?" said a second familiar voice. Hudson.

"No Hudson, you are dead too you cant ... GOD MY HEAD! STOP THIS SHIT PLEASE!"

"The communists are a big danger for the nationally security. Mason, stop them!" said another familiar voice. This time it was the voice of JFK.

"Your life will be consumed by absolute loss!" This time it was the voice of Raul Menendez.

"‎9 19 18 4 6 21 17 14 9 19 8 24 17 24 5 13 11 20 15 21 24 11 9 12 8 20 21 10..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH STOOOOP!" I shouted and I felt to the ground.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Dad? DAD? DAD? Where are you?" said David.

"I am here my son, come with me, we have to leave this place." I said. We were on the cottage where Menendez killed Hudson and maybe Woods too.

"No I wont!" said David?

"What ... WHY?" I asked. David opened his mouth and suddenly a big bright light appeared and ...

"WOOOW! Oh ... I was only dreaming." I said. I felt something soft and comfortable under my back. I was laying on a soft bed. I never felt something like that after leaving David to save Woods. I noticed that my beard was gone, my hair cut and my body was clean and also someone bandaged my wound on my knees. I looked around and I guess it was a guess room. I looked outside the window and I could see a small village. The building looked weird. The rooms were small, the bed was small. It seems that this person wasn't bigger than maybe 1.40 meters. I could hear some voices but I couldn't describe this language. It was something what I had never heard before. Suddenly the door opened. I was searching for my gun but I couldn't find it. Not even my knife. The door was open and... there stood something. Something I had never seen before. I wasn't sure if it was the result of Steiners work with the numbers or the wars but in front of me stood a small horse. A pony. A pony with a white purple mane and with a horn. Or Black Night put something on my beer before we left and went to the war.

"Hello, sir." said the pony.

"What ... the ... fuck?" I thought.

"Is everything all right?" asked the pony and came closer.

"NO! NO Stay away from me. You are not real. That's the numbers again. Right? The numbers!"

"Sir what is going on with you?"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shouted and I didn't note that I was bounded on that bed.

"LET ME GO!" I said.

"Night Light please you have to help me this creature ..." and a second pony this time in blue entered the room.

"Sir, hey, calm down soldier. You are save. Nopony is going to hurt you."

Wait what did he say? Nopony? Never heard a word like this? And how can he know that I am a soldier?

"OK WHO ARE YOU? WHERE AM I? WHATS GOING ON HERE?"

"SSSH Sir please calm down first."

"Ok. I ask you again where am I? And how did I get here?"

"We found you on the Everyfree Forest. The most dangerous place here in Equestria."

"WHERE?"

"You are on the planet Equestrian, on the magical place Equestria."

"OK that's the craziest shit I´ve ever heard. I mean you are talking ponies which speak the same language like me."

"It´s because ... we know what you are. You are a human, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am but how did I get here, you still didn't answered my question."

"I hope to hearing that from you, Mr Alex Mason."

"Yes, that's my name and no I don't know how I did get here and how can you know that I am a soldier?"

"Because ... your whole person, ... you are similar to me. I am a soldier to Mr Alex Mason." said the blue unicorn called Night Light.

"The last thing I remember ... is that this fucking asshole Raul Menendez killed Hudson and he has my son. Then I saw a bright light and ... I don't know what happened."

The blue pony came closer. His horn started to glow. "This should help you to remember everything." he said. Suddenly the blue pony becomes to Steiner. The guy who wants to control me for Dragovichs and Graf Chenkos plan.

"MY NAME IS REZNOV AND I WILL KILL YOU!" I SHOUTED.

"Huh? What is going on with him?" asked Twilight Velvet.

"It seems like he got brainwashed. He believes he is a second person too."

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know but ... he needs help. Mason, listen only to the sound of my voice." The blue pony hold my head and his horn was still glowing.

"Tell me what you can see."

"I see an helicopter, soldiers, birds, I always see these crows, I can see a house on the mountains, the mountains looks so ... foreign. It seems like they are not from here. I can see a girl sitting on the window, I guess its Menendez ... sister but I am not sure, I can see a town in the clouds... and the numbers, what the fuck is going on with me?"

"OK Alex, that's enough, I guess you still need some sleep. If you need something, talk to us."

"Hey, wait!" I said.

"Yes?"

"Thanks for everything."

"It´s ok Alex, we know that's to much for you. We will do this step for step. Here is some apple cider, the best of all Equestria."

"Yea thank you you two. Good night."

"Good night Alex." said Night Light. It seems that these two young ponies were a couple. It´s better if I sleep a bit and this time I hope without any nightmares.

"What did you see?" asked Velvet.

"I saw ... his past. He fought a lot of wars. The Earth is ... a really dangerous place."

"That means it´s true what the books says?"

"Yes Darling. And I guess he got brainwashed. I saw ... these numbers. I don't know ... everything was a ... mess. There wasn't a order. It was really weird. But there was one thing what I seen every time."

"And what?"

"A tree. A tree with a symbol I have never seen before. Maybe a cutie mark. I don't know ... and I have seen a boy."

"He told me that he has a son called David."

"Yes, I have to talk with the princess tomorrow, I don't think it was an accident. It has a reason why he is here."

"Never mind, Night Light. I am so tiered and I want to cuddle with you."

"Oooh Velvet ... yes ok come on lets go to bed."
