The Run

Previous Chapter

There was a few moments of silence only with he and I staring at the huge stampede until we saw large, green, magical beams of light shooting out of the horns of a few of the raging ponies. The beams struck the base of the tower with a large explosion, all of the wood supports snapped and left everything above it plummeting to the ground, including me. I fell, seemingly to my demise, but in the night sky I see a streak of silver racing towards my falling body. It was Turbulent saving my life, he caught me, but with the addend weight flying wasn’t the easiest thing.

We hit the ground roughly, but it was better than falling from a three story building. We were scraped up and a little dazed, but we had to run, run from those monsters, run from home.

“We have to tell the others!” Turbulent commanded, “Go to every house, bust down the doors, and get them out!” he screamed over the destruction of our town. He paused and looked straight into my blue eyes,“Goodbye.” he said quietly, time seemed to slow down, “Goodbye.” I said, remembering all the things we have done together, all of the years we have been through, leaving my best friend, “I will find you, no matter what.” he spoke, then he took off to guide the ponies out of town.

Just as he said, I galloped to inform the citizens of Fonda, I kicked the doors down, rushed the families out until there was no more.

The army was advancing, green lasers destroying all in their way. I could only hope that Turbulent was alive, away, safe.

When no pony was in their homes, I gathered them all up in a herd and guided the entire population east, to the Ruins. It was the only direction not swarmed by the beasts, but that quickly changed when the abominations flew above the crowd and started making a perimeter around the herd.

“Run!” I screamed, galloping as fast as I could to an opening that wasn’t covered in black. The magical beams they shot at the crowd missed me by a hair and seared my skin, the others, not so lucky. I heard blood curdling screams and fizzling of flesh. I could not look at what I heard, and with all of my might and effort, teleported to a nearby valley, still running, leaving all that I loved, my life-long friend, my town, and my life. I was running to a place that no pony has ever witnessed before, Equestria.
