Me and my OC

Chapter 2 Who are you

At sunrise I awoke from a really bad dream, only to find out it wasn't a dream at all. Finished with rubbing my eyes and stretching my numb limbs, I started to realize I was still on the mountain top where I collapsed that night. The only different seems to be that I was dragged of track and layed underneath a tree to be, at least a little bit, protected from the elements, especally the freezing wind

• Wait! How am i still able to move after a night on a mountain top, specially on this altitude, without something to keep me warm?-

More confused than ever, but still with that strange happynes filling my heart, I quickly stood up to examin my surrounding.

There it was - The pitch black burned spot I noticed that night was about 200 meter left of me, directly in front of the slowly rising sun.

Finished with even more stretching I started walking across the plane towarts the spot I fainted, trying to figure out why, for gods sake, he appeared on this particular day, to this particular time, at this particular spot.

I expected a lot of things. Aliens, animals, weird mutated hybrid like a bugbear (created by using the DNA from a radioactive bee and bear) or even a crazy old man who lost his sanity many years ago but never have I ever considered seeing something such impossible like him with my own two eyes.

Shortly after i started looking for any clues, the odd creature detected my absence and hecticly startend to look around, in hope to find me befor i was gone forever. Spotting me pretty quickly, he sigh in relief and started to walk towards me and the burnt patch of land i was still circling around.

Trying to whistle happily (but failed terribly) he steped beside me. At firs i didn't noticed him standing there because i closed my eyes to organise my thougts better. After clearing his throat he politly started talking.

"Good morning Sir. What a lovely day to expirience from start to finish. I'm happy to see you recovered from the little shock this night. May i ask why you fainted, of course only if you know why."

By hearing his voice i started to open my eyes again. Without saying a singel word i sat up, eyed him and poked right between the eyes.

• He is real. He ... Is ... REAL!!! I can't believe this. But he looks a bit odd. I expected him to look more like a real one than to look exactly like the drawing Lupi made for me.-

After an awkward moment I launched myself at him, sending his hat flying across the plane. Completly baffled from my hugging-attack, but oddly happy about it, he tried to shove me aside. But to his despair i didn't budge.

Some seconds later i released him from my "allmighty hug of doomTM". Avoiding as much eyecontact as possible, we sat there what felt like an eternity, before i finally broke the silence.

"I'm soo sorry. I just wanted to confirm that i'm not insane and hallucinate. But you are real. I still can't believe this happened to me."

BEST DAY EVER!

I hugged him again but this time more gentle and a lot shorter. After releasing him the second time I stood up and started talking again.

"To anwer your first question, I fainted because my brain stoppen working after seeing you. Next one, yes, i know you. I know you better than anypony else. In fact I know you as good as i know myself. Question 3 and 4: Where are you and who am I. The first one is easy. You are on Earth. Date: July 9th 2015 AD. You are currently residing in my humble hometown. And about the last question. It's pretty hard to answer. I can tell you this: I'm 19, my birthday is the 14th of May and i live alone in a two - room apartment and yes, if you want you can stay there till you find a way home. Any other questions i shoul answer?"

Afer that "little" speech I left him completly speechless. He wasn't expecting to get so much information in such a short amount of time.  A few minutes later he managed to sort his thougts good enough to reply.

"Ok, wait a minute. First of all how can you know me if this isn't Equestria? Second, why do you exactly know what i wanted to ask you in the exact same way i would have? Thirdly, why aren't you more disturbed in seeing me? And at last, for now, whats your name and why didn't you tell me before in your barrage of answers."

During his speech he stood up and walked between two imaginary points on the ground up and down. I wasn't mad at him for beeing a bit rude because in his situation, i would have done the same thing.

Still not stopping in his "line of thougts" i got up and went to his precious hat. After picking it up i got back to him, taped his shoulder, placed it onto his head and said

said

"Hey, Black Flare. If you really want to know everything, i'll tell you as good as i can. But only under one condition."

After hearing his own name, he finally stopped and turned around to see me.

"Under what condition?"

"Nothing bad, really. I just want my hat back. I probably lost it when i fainted last night. If you help me, i'll help you. Deal?"

I kneeled before him to get onto his level and offered my hand to seal the deal.

"Why should i believe you? I don't know you, but you certanly know me. Give me one reason why i should. And it should be a good one."

"You know why. If i was hostil, you would have sensed it long before i regained my conscious back. The next points is, I'm your only hope. If someone beside me would have noticed your appearence, you would have either beeing killed or taken to a Research-Facillity. I promise i won't hurt you. If i do, you have my permission to use your light spell to vaporize me. Is that good enough for a reason?"

"Good enough" he replied dryly, still trying to find anything logic out of the situation. Raising his hoof slowly to shake my hand, he quickly stopped befor reaching it.

"You know that i know that you are forcing me to do this and i don't like it. I'll agree tho this, but that don't mean i'll trust you."

Gently grabbing his outstretched hoof, i shook it. Afterwards i stood up and trying to surpress as good as possible a big grin on my face. Befor starting to search i replied to his last comment.

"We will see. Maybe you'll change your mind after you asked everything you wanted to know. After that you'll probably try to kill me, but that's just a speculation."

Completly ignoring what he ranted afterwards, i started to search for my hat. 25 minutes later, with no result, i returned to the still pissed of stallion.

"Hey Black Flare. Have you seen my hat? It looks a lot like your hat but it has a blue, white dragon badge on his left side. Ma.."

" ... ybe i know where it is? Yes, i do. I placed it aside you during your "little nap". How do you like your own medicine!"

I stood there some seconds, completly caught of guard with that rather harsh reply.

"Damn, i learn fast." i mumbled silently to myself.

What did you just say? the stallon asked, more curious than actually angry. Assuring him that i said something to myself i retuned to the spot i "slept", i searched everywhere but couldn't find it.

"He Black, where did you hide it. I know you hid it with a camouflage spell so i can't find it without you. So, please undo the spell so we can get to my home." i said louder than usuall. Slowly, but steadily, i got pissed at him but i tried to calm myself as good as possible down. I know how hard and stressful it can be to be suddenly in a completly unknown place.

"I did that as a safety measure. I had that feeling you wouldn't leave without it. You'll wear it everywhere at any given time, even in the middle of the night. Just ... like ... me?

Why do i get the feeling we aren't so different at all?

... ... ...

Forget that. Back to the topic. I'll break the spell for you. Wait a minute."

After that his horn started to flash with a blackish aura and released a beam into my direction. I jumped out of the way, just in time not to get hit. The beam hit the ground beneath the tree and with a big flash my hat appeared at its place. Immediatly after that i got back onto my feet.

Still a bit amazed by what happend, i picked my hat up and inspected it for any damage made by the flash.

"Wow, I expected a lot to happen today, but this is probably in my top 3. Nonetheless the awesome firework, we'll have to go now or you might get seen by other villager. Hurry up or i'll go home without you."

Standing there like a rock, he replied with a grim face.

"Now you got your hat back. I kept my end of the deal, so now you have to answer me one thing befor we go.

Who are you?"
