Chapter Two Discoveries "Edited"

Chapter Two Discoveries

It was early morning, the birds were chirping, the sun was rising, and in the distance you could faintly hear the sound of two screaming girls running from a giant monkey.

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" ........... what tranquility.

Sunset

"Hurry its gaining on us!!" We were running through the forest after a very angry wake up call. I had heard Twilight screaming which had jolted me awake before shortly joining her with my own scream of panic. Apparently the tree we slept against already had an owner. Said owner was now charging toward us and it didn't seem satisfied with only getting us to leave.

I jumped over a large dead tree looking back; the monkey wasn't to far behind us and it was getting closer by the second. Looking at its eyes I saw nothing but hate, I forced my gaze forward, this had to be some form of karma for my past, I just really wish Twilight wasn't involved.

"I'm running as fast as I can!" she yelled back at me irritably. Twilight looked like she was struggling to keep up, I always told her that gym was important, beginning to imagine the worst case scenario I tried to think of anything that could save us but unfortunately nothing came to mind.

"Well run faster! We need to find a way to lose this thing!" I was frantically searching for a way out, just as we exited the trees there was a large cliff face. For a second I thought we we're going to be cornered before I noticed a small cave entrance. The entrance was covered in vines like the rest of this Celestia forsaken forest, but there was just enough of a gap to get between them.

Quickly I grabbed Twilight by the arm and threw us inside, just seconds after the beast smashed into the side of the mountain, it roared in outrage scratching at the entrance a few times before realizing it had lost its prey, turning it went back into the forest.

"That w-was waaaaaay to close" Twilight said from behind me trying to catch her breath for the second time in twenty four hours. I nodded in agreement, this place seemed to love trying to kill us.

"Meow"

That's weird I got back onto my feet, cupping my hand to my ear listening. The cave was small, I had to crouch down so I wouldn't hit my head on the ceiling. "Twilight do you hear that?" I whispered.

Twilight got up and walked towards me crouching as well. "Is that a cat?" she asked her face scrunching up, most likely to adjust to the dark cave.

"Well its either that or a giant lion that's going to try to eat us." Twilight almost seemed to freeze in place, I watched her tense up a clear look of worry across her face. "Don't worry I'm sure it'll be fine, and besides it has to be better than that monkey thing right?" I grabbed her hand pulling her deeper into the cave, hopefully towards something less crazy.

Twilight

This has to be the worst day ever! I was really looking forward to learning all about Equestria but now magic had to be less reliable then Rainbow at doing her homework! Just look! here I am in some cave walking towards a mystery cat. At least Sunset's here with me, she had grabbed my hand and started pulling me along breaking me out of my fear induced trance, She strode forward without a second thought.

I really wish I was that brave. Shaking my head I readied myself for whatever came next.

We walked in silence for a couple minutes slowly making our way towards the noise when we came across a smaller entrance in the cave, the sound of cats meowing was coming from it along with a dim light.

Sunset put a finger to her lips signaling me to stay quite, she walked forward and looked inside. pausing for a moment before looking at me making a hand motion to take a look.

Slowly making my way towards her, and preparing to run, I gazed inside. What I saw might have been one of the oddest things I had ever seen, and I've seen Pinkie eat fifty cupcakes in one sitting. The center of the room had a torch illuminating a small hollowed out room with different pieces of wood scraps all around. What looked like fireflies buzzed in the air, but what had to be the strangest part were the cats. All of them standing on two legs walking around, a few of them seemed to be holding staffs and some even had small pieces of clothing.

"What the....." Was all that I managed to say in my confused state.

One of the cats noticed us and waved then it seemed to motion us to come inside with a paw. Me and Sunset looked at each other, her shrugging in response, neither of us really knowing what else to do we made our way into the room.

"Um hi?...." Sunset said "We're uh lost could you help us?..."

"What are you doing? there cats! you can't honestly think the'll understand do you?" I said thinking she might have started to lose her mind.

"Hey where I'm from animals may not all be able to talk but most can at least understand the intent behind the words. Maybe these cats are like that?" I wasn't sure how I felt about that new piece of knowledge; something to think about later, but it was worth a shot I guess.

One of the cats looked to an older looking feline meowing a few times, the elder of the two nodded its head.

The cat ran over to the entrance meowing while using its paw to beckon us to follow.

Sunset

We had been walking for maybe an hour or two through the forest. Every once in awhile the cat would change direction leading us through more caves. I vaguely remember hearing a human story about a rabbit leading a girl down a hole in the ground but I couldn't recall if it had a happy ending hopefully ours would.

The cat had lead us onto what looked to be a dirt road of sorts, closer to just being a path worn into the grass. It stretched in either direction and upon looking closer I noticed cart tracks like the ones they used back in Equestria. That was just one more thing I had to adjust to in the human world, the technology was so much further advanced than ours. Cars were just one of the many amazing things the humans had.

Convincing my worlds Twilight why this technology in its current form was a bad thing to introduce to Equestia took some time.

We walked down the path for awhile until we excited the woods. The path was steep and went a mile or so. To my surprise it led to a small village hanging onto the edge of a port. The houses lined the water and some where even on stilts above it. People walked around going about their daily activities, trading goods. Bringing in fish off of boats, selling from stands. It all seemed so strange to me. This village looked so peaceful, did they know about the creatures out there? There was only one way to find out.

I looked at Twilight giving her an encouraging smile, partially to reassure her, partially to calm myself. Then I walked down the hill towards the town, ready for whatever happened next.
