7 Days Of Hell
Chapter 4
Previous Chapter"Ahh fuck" I said, pulling the tooth out of my foot. It didn't hurt immensely bad, but it still fucking hurt. I've been sitting In the bathroom for about half an hour cleaning out my foot. I brought the tooth up to my face and looked at it.
"Mmh, about 4 centimeters. I thought to myself. "Maybe I can make a necklace out of it or something. It does have a pretty awesome backstory to it."
I brought the tooth down from my face and placed it on the side of the sink.
"Now I just need to clean my ar- My thoughts were interrupted when I came to a realization, "Why the fuck, didn't I just shower?" I looked over to the shower and sighed. "*sigh* It would've gone so much faster.
I got up on my feet and limped over to the shower. The pain had increased just a bit whilst removing all the dirt and debris out of my foot, and this is probably gonna hurt even more, but it's gonna go a whole lot faster. I stripped down naked and stepped into the shower.
"Well this is gonna be fun."
I turned the shower on, and immediately felt the water stinging my swollen arm and foot. The pain wasn't like anything I've felt before, It felt like little devils were crawling all over my arm and foot and jamming their pitchforks into the wounds at every angle possible.
"FFFFFFUUUUUUUUCK!" I said through clenched teeth.
I looked onto the back of my arm and saw that splinters, rocks and blood were going down my arm and legs and finally down the drain. I checked both my arm and foot for any debris and hopped out of the shower as fast I could.
"Fuck that hurt," I said through clenched teeth. I looked over at the clock and saw the time.
"7:40 pm, alrighty then.
I took out two rolls of gauge out of the cabinet and wrapped each one around my arm and foot. I proceeded to get a towel and wrap it around my waist, I head over to the door and were about to open it until I remembered,
"Oh right, Lyra’s still out there, wouldn't it be weird if I just walked out naked...Meh fuck it"
I opened the door and it didn't make any noise thankfully. I peeked my head out the doorway and looked to my left into the hallway "No one," I looked to my right into my livingroom and saw the strangest thing yet. I saw Lyra with her back to me attempting to stand on her two hind legs, she was wobbling around whilst doing it. "What the hell" I got out of the bathroom completely with the towel tightly around my waist. "Okay this is kinda weird. Might as well ask her?"
"Lyra?"
Lyra made a small "eek!" and fell onto her back. I, of course, found it comical but I suppressed my laughter and asked Lyra in the best concerned voice I could do.
"Whoa, are you alright?" I took a few steps towards her. Lyra rolled onto her stomach and got up onto four legs again. Lyra had her eyes closed and rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.
"Yeah, I'm fine it's just a-a-" Lyra opened her eyes and looked up on me practically naked, a giant blush that would have made a tomato jealous formed on her face. Then she asked the most unexpected question I've ever heard,
"Y-You have nips?" She said In a shocked and surprised voice.
A confused look plastered it's way across my face at that question.
"Hehe, yeah." I remembered Twilight ask the same thing when she examined my body when I first arrived here. Lyra was looking up and down my body, almost as if she was examining my every muscle, every curve, every edge, You name it. I was starting to get pretty weirded out so I decided to speak up
"Alrighty, I'm gonna go and put on some clothes," Lyra looked visibly disappointed but she tried to hide it "And I'll be right back." Lyra gave a nod and an "Okay" in her more neutral voice, she then turned around and walked over towards the couch only with a bit more sway in her hips.
"Oh god, what the fuck is going on?" I thought to myself as I turned and walked to my bedroom, I opened the door slowly as to not wake up Flurry, I turned on the lamp on my nightstand to give me some sense of direction and a good look at Flurry. I Looked down at Flurry and saw that she was Squirming and smiling, at first I thought she was awake but I quickly noted that her eyes were still closed,
"You seem to be having a dream?" A big smile formed it's way onto my face. "Maybe I was wrong about foals?" I knelt down next to the bed and started petting her cheek, almost like a dog she leaned into my hand. I gave out a small chuckle.
"Hm, adorable."
I stopped petting her and she leaned into the pillow "Dada." was the last thing she said before falling into an even deeper sleep. I stood up and opened the wardrobe that was facing the door and took out a pair of sweatpants, a simple white shirt and threw them on. I let the lamp stay on if Flurry woke up and walked out of the room and closed the door silently. I turned around to face the living room and noticed Lyra sitting on my couch, covering her eyes with her mane and having a giant blush on her face.
"What's up?" I asked trying to find out what Lyra was doing.
"It's raining," she said looking down onto the fabric of the couch.
I looked out the window and saw it raining heavily. Hm, that’s strange. You don’t recall Dashie ever telling you about a storm this week. Oh well. I already knew what she was gonna ask so I decided to make this not as awkward for her.
"If you want to stay here for the night? You're more then welcome to."
Lyra looked up from the couch at me with the blush still on her cheeks.
"R-Really? I can stay here? With you?"
I gave a smile to Lyra and answered.
"Yes, you can stay here. If you’d like that is?"
Lyra had a giant smile plastered on her face now. I made my way towards the couch and took my seat, I leaned into the couch and closed my eyes. I sat like that for a few minutes until Lyra spoke up.
"Umm, hey Felix?" Lyra asked beside me.
"Hmm?" I lazily hummed.
"What's that?" she said curiously.
I opened my eyes to see what Lyra was asking about, and she was pointing with her hoof to my Flatscreen TV.
"That's a TV," I said in a lazy voice again.
I didn't expect her to know what a TV is or meant, and of course she didn't.
"What's a TV?" She proceeded curiously.
"Hmm, well, imagine a projector screen except without a projector."
Lyra looked up at me with no clue of what I was talking about. I rubbed the bridge of my nose with my thumb and index finger and sighed.
"I'll just show you," I said as I reached for the controller.
I pressed the “on” button and the screen lit up from black to a little bit more illuminated black and with a blue box in the far right corner saying "No channels found." Thats one of the things that suck about Equestria, Unlimited electricity thanks to magic, but no History channel.
"Woaaaah" I heard Lyra say.
I didn't understand why Lyra was so amazed over a black screen and a blue box.
"What can it do?" Lyra quickly asked.
"Well it can play movies, and stuff."
"Oh! Oh! Can we watch?!! Can we watch?!!" Lyra asked excitedly.
"Whoa, whoa, relax horsey, sure we can watch." Luckily I had hundreds of movies and anime stored on my computer and DVD’s so I was pretty much set.
"Yaaaay!!!" Lyra exclaimed whilst jumping into the air.
"Seems to be a common theme among ponies." I thought to myself.
I got up onto my feet and walked towards my TV and opened the one of the cabinets underneath the TV, I digged around for a bit until I found a bunch of dvd, I started to go through the pile,
"Jurassic ark...No, Saw… definitely not, Back the future...Alright"
I rose to my feet and turned on my xbox, the xbox logo quickly appeared on the big screen and Lyra quickly perked up.
"Is this the movie!!!"
I turned to her and saw she had an expression of shock and amazement on her face. For the hundredth time of the day I gave her a smile along with a "No."
I removed the disc from its plastic container and inserted it into the slot of the gaming console. I looked at the screen until the *ready to play* text popped up. I grabbed the controller from the TV stand and turned towards the couch and an idea popped into my head as I looked at Lyra.
"Wanna drink?" I asked Lyra
Lyra looked away from the TV and up at me.
"S-Sure." she responded back.
"Great! I'll be out in a second." I responded with a smile on my face. I put the controller onto the table and made my way towards the kitchen, I pulled out some alcoholic drinks out of my refrigerator and started mixing.
"Sometimes being a bartender has it's perks." I thought to myself.
I mixed some apple cider, soda and a hint of vodka into two decent sized wine glasses. I stepped out of the kitchen and into the living room with drinks in hand. I looked onto Lyra and she was still sitting on the couch but now she was holding the Xbox controller in her magic in front of her face, almost as if she was examining it.
"Having fun?" I asked with a smile on my face.
Lyra gave away a small "eep!" and dropped the controller onto the carpeted floor and she immediately went into a frenzy.
"OH MY CELESTIA!!! I'M SO SORRY!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DROP YOUR DEVICE IT JUST SEEMED SO FASCINATING AND I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW IT WORKED AND, AND, AND..." She blurted out in one breath and quickly staggered on her own words as she held both of her hooves over her eyes.
"Woah, woah, relax you haven't done anything wrong!"
I sat down onto the couch and leaned over towards Lyra to pick up the controller, whilst doing so Lyra muttered,
"I'm sorry."
I just simply groaned and responded with.
"Don't sweat it, it doesn't break that easily."
I took my seat onto my side if the couch again and took one of the glasses and handed it over to Lyra. Lyra generously accepted the drink and took a sip, as did I. Because of Equestria’s low alcohol policy it tasted like a regular fruit soda to me, but to ponies it would taste like a normal alcohol drink. Back on earth it would taste to me and have the same alcohol effect just as fast.
"Lucky bastards," I thought to myself.
I put my drink along with Lyra onto the table and I looked over to her,
"Wanna start?"
"Sure!" She perked up.
I reached over towards the controller and hit "A" to start the movie. I leaned into my sofa and put my feet up onto the table and got comfortable. I looked towards Lyra and she gave me a look that said "What the buck are you doing?"
" She probably thinks I'm weird sitting like this, Eh, Whatever." I thought whilst turning towards the TV.
30 Minutes later
"Wha-What are they doing?" Lyra asked.
There was only 30 minutes into the movie along with two drinks and Lyra had already gotten drunk.
"Geez, hold your liquor much?" I thought before answering her.
"Well he is trying to get away from the bad guys."
Lyra gave away an audible "oooohhh."
We went back to watching the movie and there were only a few minutes until Lyra perked up again.
"Waoh, what happen?”
"He just went back in time."
Lyra swiftly turned her head towards me with a face of curiosity that needed to be soothed.
"Can you humans do that?"
I simply answered "No."
"I should check on Flurry,"
I got up and Lyra quickly asked.
"W-Where are you g-going?" she asked drunkenly.
"I'm just gonna check on Flurry real quick."
"Oookay, don't be too long baby." she giggled when she finished speaking.
"Oh, no."
"Y-yeah" I stuttered back.
I turned and made my way towards the bedroom and prayed that she was still asleep. I opened the door slowly and peeked between the door crack. I saw Flurry standing in the middle of the bed inspecting her new surroundings.
"I guess she must've just woken up," I sighed and made my way into the room.
I pushed the door open completely and it made a loud creaking sound upon opening. I flinched from being noticed as Flurry turned and looked at me immediately as she held a bundle of bed cover over her for protection. I felt bad for her, not only was she afraid of me, but she didn't have anything that made her feel safe.
"Are you alright?" I asked in a baby relaxing tone. I leaned over just a enough to see her wings, they looked like she had never lost any feathers.
"Your wings seem to be all healed, can I have a look?"
Flurry just stood still and watched me as I stood up straight and sat down on the bed. I slowly reached my hand out to touch her and luckily she didn't move away or cry. She just stood there and watched. My hand reached her cheek and I petted her with the back of my index finger and she seemed to enjoy it, but she was still watching me with caution.
"What will make you not afraid of me?" I thought as scenes of possible ways played out in my head.
I leaned back and got a full view of her wings, and just as I presumed, the feathers had completely grown back.
"You seem to be completely fine. You want something to eat?"
Flurry just looked at me and tilted her head to the side.
"I'll take that as a maybe."
I got up onto my feet and walked out towards the hallway and unpacked the apples I had previously taken from the apple family orchard.
"This'll do." I said to myself.
I made my towards the kitchen but before I entered, I took a quick look into the living room. Lyra was sitting on the couch struggling to keep her eyes open whilst watching the movie.
"I guess I won't have to deal with her for a while."
I entered my kitchen and opened a cabinet that revealed a large assortment of knives. I picked up the smallest knife which was just 15 centimeters and started cutting up the apple I grabbed. I cut each new slice in half about three times and removed the seeds as well. I put some of the slices on a plate and put the knife in the dishwasher.
"I sure hope you like this,"
I filled up a glass of water and carried the plate and glass out to the living room and into the bedroom. Flurry was nowhere to be seen. My heart started beating rapidly. I put the glass and plate on my nightstand and looked under the bed, nope. I got up and proceeded to make my way out of the room until I heard.
"Well aren't you just the cutest little thing ever, I just wanna squeeze your cheeks,"
I quickly ran out of bedroom and looked into the living room. I saw Lyra cradling Flurry like a stuffed toy. I let out a sigh of relief and went to fetch the plate of apples. I made my way towards the living room and sat down in the same spot as before and looked over to Lyra and Flurry. They were both laughing and enjoying each other's company, almost like mother and daughter.
"Looks like you two are having fun." I said announcing my presence.
Flurry didn't acknowledge me but Lyra did.
"I-I-Isn't s-she sooooooo cuuuute?" Lyra responded with exaggerated head movements.
"Oh right, I forgot you were drunk. maybe not the best role model."
"Yeah, she sure is." I smiled. "I got something for her to eat." I held up the plate and Lyra nodded. Lyra picked up Flurry in her hooves and said.
"We got some fooood for yooou." Lyra drunkenly said to Flurry.
"Oh no, this is probably not a good idea"
Flurry just smiled and laughed. Lyra turned Flurry around and placed Flurry in her lap and was now facing me, I was already prepared with an apple slice in my hands ready to feed her, but when she laid her eyes on me, she turned around and hugged Lyra's stomach and started babbling baby language. Lyra looked up at me with anger in her eyes.
"Why did you do that!?" she angrily spat out.
"Do what?" I confusingly asked.
"You scared her!!" she retorted back.
Even whilst drunk, Lyra had a motherly nature.
"Bullssssschnitzel! I didn't mean to."
"Here, let me do it"
Before I could respond Lyra ripped the plate out of my grasp and proceeded to try and feed Flurry. I'm surprised about how much Lyra changed when it came to Flurry. Earlier she could string together a normal sentence, now she's a temporary mother or she just sobered up really quickly.
"Flurry," Lyra said calmly. Flurry looked up from her stomach and up to her face.
"I got something for you."
Lyra levitated an apple slice towards Flurry's face and she stopped babbling and eagerly grabbed the slice of apple in her hooves and started eating in small bites.
"I give up." I said to no one. I leaned back into the couch and waited for Flurry to finish her food.
"Whyyy would you wants to give up? It's only the firsts day." Lyra spoke up.
"I guess drunk Lyra came out again?"
"It's just so hard, I mean look at you."
I pointed down to Flurry who was still sitting in Lyra's lap eating her third apple slice.
"You can take care of Flurry even whilst drunk."
Lyra's simple response was.
"I'm not druuunk" Lyra said followed my giggles from her.
"Of course you aren't" I whispered to myself.
I looked down onto Flurry again and saw that she had finished her apple slices started to yawn, I gave out a yawn as well upon realizing how tired I really was.
"I'm probably gonna head to bed now." I said tiredly.
"Oh, yeah me too, I-I can sleep out here on the couch." Lyra responded in a disappointed tone.
I looked at Lyra then down on the floor.
"Wow, I would look like the biggest dick if I let her sleep out here,"
"No no no. You can sleep in my bed. I can sleep on the couch."
Lyra looked at me straight in the eyes and said.
"R-Really? In your bed?"
I mentally sighed and thought "*Sigh* This again?"
"Yes you can sleep in my bed, if you want?"
"Well, thank you so much."
Lyra got of the couch and down onto the wooden floor,
"Come here." Lyra said motioning to Flurry. Flurry complied and jumped down from the couch and onto her back and Lyra proceeded to my bedroom.
"Are you gonna be okay with Flurry?" I asked Lyra.
Lyra turned her head and gave me a simple nod.
"Great," I simply replied "Good night."
I turned off the TV and the console. I grabbed the a blanket hanging of the armrest on the couch, I unrolled it and laid down on my back. I heard a door closing, presumably my bedroom door. Before I let sleep envelope me I had one final thing to say.
"..."
"..."
"*sigh* This blows."
