"I don't think I can do it, White." Rarity said, lowering the bow.

"Oh come on, you got this. Just like I showed you." I corrected her position. She raised the bow again, She pulled the bow string back. She took aim. "For the head. Aim for the head." She was shaking a little. "Hold still." She let to arrow fly. It landed in the deer's head. It fell to the ground. "See? You did it." I patted her back. She put the bow back on her back. She took her blade out.

"Okay..." She walked to it. Right through the eye. "I can't." She turned to walk away, but I stopped her.

"Rarity, you can do it. Just like how I showed you." She got on her knees. She shoved the blade into the deer and cut it open. Her face was green. She stopped half way and puked.

"It smells fowl!" She said. I sighed.

"You have to finish the job." I said. She finished the cut.

"R-Reach inside?" I nodded. "Gut it?" Nod. She looked away and reached her hand in. She let out a groan as her hand went in. "Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew." The whole time she said ew. She puked two more times before she got it's liver, then she puked again. She put it in her Rucksack and kept going. One at a time. On the bright side, she only puked two more times. Improvement. She went to skinning it. She got its hide and put that in the Rucksack. "Done."

"Told you you could do it." She nodded. She got up and we went deeper into the forest. We got to a tree and climbed it. She would have fallen if I didn't grab her in time. From the height we were at, she could have died. We looked over the forest. The sun rose not too long ago. about two, three hours. Every time I see it, it reminds me of the fun me and Celestia had fucking. I yawned and she climbed up to me.

"So, what now?" She asked.

"Start at the bottom and work to the top."

"Huh?"

"We start on the ground, and finish on the mountains." I climbed down and so did she. "For now," I patted her back and smirked. "Welcome to hell." The next month, every day we would come out here. Push-ups with heavy rocks on her back, Pull-ups with a bag of heavy rocks on her back, combat training, and my favorite: standing on one leg with your arms out, heavy rocks on both hands balancing them, one on your head, and one on your other lap, not the one you aren't standing on, that is.

It took a while for her to get used to it, struggling all the time, but she didn't give up. A surprise to me. She kept going. Soon, she was ready to wrestle gators. She refused at first, but I finally got her to. It was when she pulled that gator to the bank I felt something. She had it pinned down, I was proud of her. She was panting, she looked up at me. I smiled. She did back. She got off it and it went back into the water quickly. "Good job, Rare."

"Thanks." She had gotten stronger, a lot stronger. We went to the mountains and climbed them. Once we got neat the top, I pretended to slip a little and got a hand full of snow. We walked a little more. That's when I spun around and nailed her in the face with a snowball. I laughed and she fell over. She got a ball and threw it at me, hitting my face. I stumbled back a little and she threw another, laughing. We had this fight for a little before I ran at her and tackled her. We both hit the ground and laid there, laughing. I got a huge handful of snow and dumped it on her face then got up and ran to the top of the mountain. She laughed and got up, running after me. The sun was about to set. I skidded to the edge of the mountain, looking over it. The sun was setting behind us. She walked over next to me. I looked at her and her at me.

"We need to get back before The Dome closes." I said. We both got our wingsuits on and glided down. We ran in just. We ate dinner and went back to my place. "I'm amazed about how much you changed, the first day you got here you couldn't even look at a bloody nose without freaking out and now you are gutting animals like it's nothing." I smiled as I looked at her. She smiled back. "Also you are stronger. Look at you, you fit in around the Guardians. Also, your tatau is looking good." Her smiled grew.

"Thanks, White." She sighed.

"What's wrong? Did I not praise you enough?" She giggled.

"No, it's just, I wonder what everything will be like once I get back to my world. Will I have my horn, wi-" She was interrupted by Dash.

"Rarity! White! Get to The Rocks! Quick!" Dash yelled.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Just come on!" She ran back to them. I gave Rarity a confused look and followed. AJ, Dash, and Pinkie were at the boundary for The Dome.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"It's Twilight and Fluttershy! They went out to get something and they haven't came back!"

"How long ago was this?" Rarity asked, sounding worried.

"Three hours ago!" We only had a couple minutes before The Dome closed.

"Okay, Rare, come with me, we'll see if we cant find them." I ran into the forest, Rarity followed. We could hear faint yelling. We both ran to it. Twilight and Fluttershy were backed against a tree, surrounded by Pincouras. Pincouras are the worst. They are tall, scorpion like insects that are no taller then me. They have whip like tails with a deadly stinger and large pincer mouths that can crush bone. There were three of them. Me and Rarity could climb a tree and drop down on them and take the last one out. We'd have to hit a kink in their hard, armor like plating, though. I could hear Fluttershy crying as well. I climbed a tree and Rarity followed. "I'll take the one on the right, you take the one on the left." I said. She nodded and got ready. "Now."

We jumped down, I landed on the right one and jabbed my blade through it's neck. It made a screech and fell to the ground, I took its head off to be safe, Rarity did the same. I ducked and rolled to the left to avoid the last ones tail. The poison they have is highly acidic and can melt though most anything. Even if they don't sting you, all they have to do is brush against your arm and your in a world of pain. It stopped. It just froze. It screeched and ran off. I've never seen one run from a fight...The Dome. "We have to get going...NOW!" I ran, Rarity picked Fluttershy up and ran as well, Twilight following. She tripped and I heard a snap and she yelled out in pain not good. I ran back to her and picked her up, running. We got to the rocks, most the Guardians were there, yelling at us, The Dome was no lower then my head, lowering still. I ran as hard as I could. My chest now, I wasn't gonna make it. Then, Dash did the most stupid thing I've ever seen, she ran out. It was at my thighs now, I was almost there. She tried to help with Fluttershy. "FUCK IT!" The Dome was at my knees, I laid Twilight down and her friends pulled her in, same with Fluttershy. There was a big THUD as The Dome sealed shut. They were pounding on The Dome, yelling.

"Get The Gem!" Twilight yelled.

"NO!" I yelled. "If you take The Gem, The Dome wont close till tomorrow...we are stuck out here for the night..." I could see what happened to Twilight, her arm was broke, that much was clear. She refuse to leave The Domes side till the three of us were back in. I looked at Dash. "Good job...you just killed yourself..." The Doctors had to work on Twilight there. We needed to move, find someplace where the things of the night can't get to us. I walked into the forest, Dash and Rarity followed. Once the sun completely set, we heard it. A loud, inpony scream. I stopped dead.

"W...what was t-that...?" Dash asked, shaking a little, completely scared.

"The reason why the Pincoura fled..." I climbed a tree, Rarity followed, we were both silent climbers. Then...scrape scrrraaaapppe scrapppe We all knew who was climbing with up. "Shhhh! Do you want to be killed?" I looked at Dash. We continued to climb. We got to the top of the tree, something was moving below us. I looked to try to get a look, and I immediately regretted it. What I saw should not have been seen by pony eyes. It was black, tall and slender, the thing was taller then me, and it was hunched over. Its hands had fingers about a foot long, a whole foot! Its muzzle was almost two times as long as mine. It scraped the ground and looked around. It slowly looked up, Dash was hyperventilating, she must have saw it, and it heard her. I put a hand over her mouth to quiet her. It was looking right at us its eyes were a color that is indescribable. Its teeth on its upper jaw went down to its chest, the teeth on its bottom jaw just below its eyes. Each tooth was pointed and sharp, it could easily bite a limb off. I closed my eyes and didn't move, I held my breath, hoping that would work. I heard a loud, eardrum bursting scream. It sounded like a mare and a cat in a bag getting kicked and thrown down ten flights of stairs while on fire. I heard loud scraping on the tree. I looked to see it climbing up. "SHIT! RUN!" Run...yeah. I ran across the tree branch and jumped to the next on, bad idea. I grabbed onto the branch and it snapped, I fell and hit the ground, Two of those things were running at me. I stood and ran as hard and as fast as I could. I didn't look back but I could hear them screaming and running after me. I kept running to the lake, if I had any chance, that was it. They were close behind, the lake now in view. I jumped and dove in. I swam to the bottom and looked up, the things were looking in, I heard one scream as they turned and ran off. I stayed under for a little before surfacing, gasping for air. I looked around, I didn't see them anywhere. I stayed here, resurfacing every time I needed air. I would get tired soon, I'd have to worry about that when that problem came up.

[Rarity's point of view]

I watched as White was chased by two of those things. They ran with their hands dragging across the ground. I could hear the one climbing the tree.

"Dash," I said. "We need to go, now." She nodded. I looked around for something, the tree across from us had a sturdy looking branch, we could use that. I jumped and grabbed onto it. Dash did the same thing, the branch threatened to snap. I dropped down and so did Dash. We both ran, the thing chasing us. I didn't know how far they would run, but I was willing to run to the end of the forest to get away from them. The problem was I didn't know if Dash could keep up.The thing let out another scream, it was so loud I had to cover my ears. I kept running, pulling Dash along, the thing was getting closer. I could see the edge of the forest, I bolted, or at least tried. A sharp pain was jolted up my leg, I yelled out and fell to the ground. The thing grabbed Dash by the leg and pulled her towards it. I took my machete out and slammed the blade on its arm, it let go of Dash, screeching. "DASH! RUN!" She looked at the forest end then at me. "RUN!" She picked a rock up and threw it at the thing. It ran after her, she bolted to the left, I was alone now. I looked at my leg, the thing must have used something to stab me. My leg was bleeding profusely, I could see the in the dark night. I groaned and put pressure on it, trying to stop the bleeding. I could hear running, White ran from behind a tree and over to me. "It stabbed me with something...I don't know w-" He put a hand over my mouth.

"Shhhh! Quiet." He looked around then took his shirt off and tried to help me with the bleeding, he used his shirt to wrap my leg up.  Once he was done, he helped me up. He put his arm around me and helped me get to the edge of the forest, we could hear one of the things behind us. He looked back. "Oh shit!" He picked me up and ran. He dove out of the forest and rolled to a stop. I looked up at the thing. It just stopped, not going past the trees. It screamed louder then ever and ran deeper into the forest. "Where's Dash?" He asked.

"She ran off, I dunno wher-" I was interrupted by screaming, Dash's screaming.

He looked at the forest, she was dragging herself on the forest floor, one of those things over her. White ran back into the forest and drew his blade. He gave some sort of battle cry as he jumped and slashed down on the things face. It shrieked and held its face. White picked Dash up and ran back to me. "COME ON WHITE! RUN!" I yelled. He was going as fast as he could, the thing getting closer to him. "WHITE!!!!"
