7 Days Of Hell

I was running on the dirt path heading towards the Everfree forest in hopes to find Flurry heart, Lyra had told me that she has a possibility to be in the Everfree forest and it went something like this,

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S IN THE EVERFREE!!!" I screamed at Lyra. Lyra started to back away from me and tears started to form in her eyes, I felt bad so I toned it down.

"Lyra, please tell me." I said in a more calm but still agitated voice

Lyra wiped the tears that had formed in the corner of her eyes and spoke,

"Well I-I'm not sure, but I think I saw her flying in to the everfree."

"A-Are you sure?" I started to get extremely worried for her safety.

"At first I thought it was a Parasprite, but it's wings and body was way to big." she glanced over towards the Everfree

My fear and worry was at it's peak now.

“Lyra, go into Ponyville and get the guards to come and help and I’ll go in and search for her.” I told her calmly as I started to run. Lyra gave a salute, a smile, and turned around and started sprinting towards Ponyville.

Now I'm at the edge of The Everfree forest, my fear had gone into overdrive and I was sweating like Niagara Falls. Every second I was in the Everfree, my fears for my own safety were quickly transferred for Flurry and I quickened my pace every so often into a full on run.

"Flurry!!! Flurry!!! Please come out, I’m not going to hurt you!!!" I yelled over and over again.

I continued to follow the dirt path for a while and yelling "Flurry!!!" every once a while. Sometimes I would think I see something pink but when I turn to look at it, it's just my imagination.

"Fucking imagination, keep getting my hopes up, and where are the guards? Did Lyra decide to just leave me on my own?" I thought to myself.

I looked around a bit more and I actually saw something pink protruding out from a bush on the left of the path. At first I expected it to just be my imagination again but this time, it was real. I walked over to the pink object and pulled it out from the bush.

"A pink feather?"

My fear turned into adrenaline when I started running in the direction that the feather was lying. It might not have been the most smart move to do, but my primal instincts got the better of me. I came at a sudden stop when a root caught my foot and made me fall straight on my stomach. I could feel the twigs and rocks digging into my stomach and face as I lay there defeated, tears started forming in my eyes.

"I'M SORRY!!!" I screamed and tears started flowing from my eyes at this point. "I'M SO, SO SORRY!!!"

I was sitting in the fetal position until I heard the sound of a wolf, or more specifically, a Timberwolf howl, I got up on my feet.

"I should make my way ho-" I started but I stopped as I heard something. I listened closely and I heard it again.

Dada!!!

I don't even know what came over me, my body just decided to haul ass towards the direction of the sound.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything hurt you." I screamed in my head.

I kept running not caring if twigs and thorns were slicing every part of my body. By the time I had made it to my destination, my shirt and pants were completely torn but still wearable. I had stopped hastily after finding a clearing. In the middle of it was of course, Flurry. She was sitting in the grass crying.

"Dada!! Dada!!" She kept repeating in her normal baby voice.

I was about to step out of the bushes and get Flurry but something stopped me dead in my tracks. Two green dots, they were glowing just beyond the clearing opposite of me. I could see that Flurry had noticed them too and she had turned to face the dots, still crying. I could see that some of her feathers on her wings had come off and that probably made it difficult for her to fly. The two dots had started to move out from the darkness of the wood and my fears were confirmed.

"A timberwolf." I thought to myself.

The timberwolf had caught sight of Flurry and was slowly advancing towards her, snarling and growling.

"Whatdoidowhatdoido?" I repeated in my head until I came to the realization of, "Fuck it"

I jumped out of the bushes and ran towards Flurry. The timberwolf had caught sight of me, growled and took a defensive stance and ran to Flurry. It became a race and I made my way to Flurry in a maximum of 5 seconds and and picked her up. I made sure to keep her face pressed tight to my chest, as to not make her see what was surely about to happen. Flurry was crying into my grey shirt uncontrollably and continued to yell "Dada!! Dada!!"

I looked up at the timberwolf and it was growling and hissing at me while running, green drool was coming out of it's mouth as it let out a blood curdling growl that chilled my bones.

"BACK OFF!!!" I shouted at the wooden creature. "BACK OFF!!!"

It stopped running and it took a stance as if it was readying itself to pounce on me. As I expected, it jumped into to the air but did not block out the sun's weak rays, which resulted  me to go momentarily blind. The wolf took advantage of that and attempted to get a bite of Flurry, but out of instinct I turned away with my body to block the wolf’s sharp wooden teeth, but the wolf got a bite on my triceps instead. Because of my arms being busy holding Flurry, the only thing I could do was kick the wolf. I kicked in it's stomach and the wolf to fell to the ground. I took advantage of the situation and kicked the wolf in the face. The snout was pressed into it's face and it started to shake it's head around and green ooze was coming out of it's snout. I took this as an opportunity to start running, but before I went into a full sprint I made one last comment.

"FUCK YOU!!!"

I ran the direction I came from and I took a quick look on my tricep and saw red and green liquid oozing out of the wound.

"Well, that's not good." Was the first thought that popped into my head "Doesn't matter now, all I need to is get Flurry to safet-" My chain of thoughts were interrupted when I felt something bite down onto the back of my foot, this caused me to fall forward, but out of instinct I turned my body to fall on my back instead.

"Ahh, fuck," I said through clenched teeth.

It felt like my back had been torn to shreds because of the rocks and twigs. I looked down onto my chest and saw both Flurry who was still sobbing into my chest, and the timberwolf that was standing just a couple of meters away from me. It was growling ferociously, obviously not happy that I kicked it's snout in. It jumped into the air again to pounce on me and Flurry and out of reflects I put both my feet up and kicked it right in it's face again. This not only caused the snout to go in more, but it's entire face caved inwards. The wolf fell onto its side, hopefully dead, but probably not  and it wouldn’t be down for long. I took this opportunity again to get up to continue running but when I stood up I felt my heel give away unimaginable pain.

"GAAHH!!!" I screamed out and fell onto one knee. I looked down on my heel and saw that the entire backside of my shoe had been torn off and my heel was all bloody. Luckily my shoe had taken most of the bite, and I could also see that one of the wolf's wooden teeth had gotten stuck on my left foot and was now protruding out from the right side of my heel.

"I don't have time for this shit. I need to get home," I thought to myself. I looked back at the timberwolf and saw that it was starting to regenerate again. "Oh, fuck this."

I started running through the forest, bushes and trees were continuously blocking my path, making me have to run around it. This continued for a couple of minutes until I saw the edge of the forest and the beautiful lights of the setting sun.

"Finally, freedom."

I broke out of the forest and felt the rays of what's left of the sun batter me in all it's glory. I looked down onto Flurry and saw her fast asleep.

"I guess you must've fallen asleep from all that crying," I smiled "At least we're not dead yet." I said out loud.

I took a look around and saw that I exited the forest a long distance from where I originally entered, I knew where I was and started limping my way towards my house. The pain in my ankle and bicep had subsided for the most part and I probably didn't need any medical care from the hospital. I heard a light snoring coming from my chest and I remembered.

Shit! Flurry! I realized, I stopped in my tracks and held her with my hands in front of me, she was still sleeping. "Let's see, aside from a few feathers gone you seem perfectly fine. Can't say the same for me though." I gave a small snicker at my last comment. I continued walking and As I did so I was contemplating my choice to have accepted this.

"If this is the first day, what will the rest of the week be like?" My arm and leg was starting to increase in pain, but I didn't care "If I would have known this would happen before hand, I would have told them to fuck off. I should send a letter to Twilight telling her how it’s gone so far, and it would go something like this,"

Dear Twilight,

Let me be the first to humbly tell you to go fuck yourself and that everything is going fine. Let me tell you what I learned today. I've learned to never let foals out of my sight and to not fuck with timberwolves,

The one and only human, Felix.

PS, Please stop asking me if you can perform experiments on me, thanks.

"Yeah, that'll work

Time seemed to fly by as I made it past Applejacks orchard, I decided to take a couple of apples with me while I was there.

"I'm sure they won't mind."

I made my way over my fifth hill and my legs were about to Implode when I made it to the top and laid eyes on my house.

"Home sweet home, and fuck hills."

I noticed a mint green silhouette sitting on my porch.

"Lyra?" I said out loud, I couldn't really tell because I was still quite a distance away from my house.

I made my way down the hill and slowly but gradually got closer to my house. Just what I suspected, it was Lyra. I made my way closer and started to hear light sobbing emanating from the lyra playing pony.

"Lyra?"

She heard me and turned around quickly. Her eyes were bloodshot and streaks of tears were flowing down her eyes.

"Lyra, what's wrong?" I was worried for her now.

Lyra just looked down to the ground and fell on her haunches.

"Lyra, tell me what's wrong" At this time I had made my way up the porch and kneeling down in front of Lyra, "Lyra?"

Lyra just continued crying. I felt guilty, not in a way that I did something wrong or bad, but in a case that I hurt someone's feelings, I don't know why I felt like this since I've done nothing wrong.

"Lyra, Please te-"

"I failed you" Lyra said in a sad, low voice.

"W-What?” I asked.

Lyra started crying even harder and was now on the verge of breaking down.

"I-I FAILED YOU!!!" She practically yelled out. I was of course confused of what she meant. I put my hand on her shoulder and rubbed it, she tensed up when I placed my hand on her.

"What do you mean?" I asked and I was starting to get worried about her.

"I-I couldn't get you the help yo-you needed!" She cried out.

"What?" I asked, I knew what she was referring to but I didn't why she was so upset.

"I-I had made my way into Ponyville and asked every guard and everypony if they could help," She paused for a second and continued. "But all they did was laugh and call me crazy for listening to you, they called you a crazy alien."

My chest started hurting from what I was hearing. I moved a bit closer and wrapped my good arm around Lyra whilst holding Flurry with my bad arm. She leaned her face into my chest, carefully as to not stab me with her horn.

"I'm sorry." she whimpered.

"It's okay," I said in a calm voice "You did your best."

We sat there for a few minutes until Lyra perked up.

"You're hurt."

A smile formed it's way onto my face.

"Don't worry about me, I'm completely fine,  We should make our way in it's starting to get late.."

Lyra looked up from my embrace and asked.

"C-can I stay with you?" I was about to answer but she quickly added "Well you're probably busy with Flurry so I Shouldn't be bothe-" I placed my finger on her lips,

"Shh, Yes, you can stay, If you want."

I gave her a smile before I stood up and walked into my house, I looked back and saw Lyra still standing on the porch looking down on the ground.

"Well, what are doing? Come in," She looked up and I gave her a big smile. She had never been in my house before and was probably nervous, but she stepped into my house eventually.

"Make yourself feel comfortable" I said to Lyra.

I made my way into my bedroom and placed Flurry in my bed, I pulled the covers over her and gave her a quick rub on the forehead before exiting my room and closing the door. In my hallway was Lyra standing with a big blush on her face, I didn't know what she was blushing at until I looked down and saw my exposed muscles through the torn clothes.

"Great." I thought to myself.

"Hey Lyra, The living room is right there," I pointed In the direction of the living room "I'll be right there, I'm just gonna patch myself up." Lyra gave a noticeable nod and I made my way to the bathroom. I put down both the toilet seats and started working on my foot. I started cleaning out the wound and and it hurt like hell.

"Why the fuck didn't I buy that alcohol?" I asked myself.

I decided to leave the wolf tooth to last, I took a look at my clock. 7pm.

"How has this day been so far?" I asked myself subconsciously.

"It sucked."
