It was late in the day around 8:30 and the three ponies where soaking wet from the non-stop rain.
The three survivors had no idea where there were but all they knew was they had to keep walking. The pony ahead of all the others was a tall dark brown unicorn with a chocolate mane and tail that was rocking the black fedora with white trim; he was significantly taller than the other two. The pony to his immediate right was a cyan blue Pegasus with a cloudy gray mane and tail. The pony on the left of the unicorn was a jet black earth pony with a white mane and tail. The earth pony was covered in burns, cuts and had a ghastly slash over his left eye. The rain seemed endless and the ponies were cold and bitterly pruned.
"Well someone in Cloudsdale is really pissed off if the rain is falling like this." said the brown unicorn trying to lighten the mood of the depressed ponies.
"Shut up stretch!" the Pegasus shouted in anger.
"Las Pegasus is gone and yelling at me isn’t going to change that, sorry for trying to cheer you guys up. But being a dick isn’t going to change the fact that there is nothing left for us so stop pissing off everypony Razor!!!" Yelled Stretch.
"Shut up the both of you!" shouted the black pony.
"Whoa it speaks!" mocked Razor.
"Leave Grim alone he doesn’t need to put up with your shit right know." said Stretch.
The two ponies argued between each other long into the night while Grim just sort of zoned out and let them do their own thing. The two of them went at it for a few more hours. From what the ponies could tell they were in the EverFree Forest and the rain had yet to stop, there was a chill in the ponies’ bones. "Hey look a cave." said Razor with delight.
"Thank Celestia." said Stretch.
The three ponies took shelter in the cave for the night sleeping restlessly. But it was sleep none the less. When Razor had awoke he noticed that Grim was not within the safety of the cave. A sudden gust of un-easiness swept over him, he knew what Grim was capable of when he was pissed and after yesterday he was frankly a little worried, not for himself, not for stretch, but for whoever was stupid enough to piss him off.
Razor nudged Stretch "hey...hey...Stretch...Stretch... wake up." There was a sense of urgency in his voice.
"What..." Answered the exhausted unicorn.
"Grim is gone!" said the Pegasus who was almost white in the face. Stretch jolted up and ran out of the cave with the Razor following close behind. Razor took to the skies looking towards the ground and Stretch ran frantically.
"I see him!" shouted Razor.
The Unicorn dive bombed into the trees and landed next to Grim and Stretch shot out of the bushes to see Grim just getting a drink. "Grim, WHAT THE FUCK?!?" yelled Razor.
"What I was just getting a drink." said Grim with maltone.
"Dude you didn’t bother telling any of us! We were scared shitless!" shouted Razor.
"I can take care of myself." answered Grim starting to sound a little irritated.
"I think what he is trying to say is we don’t know if we were followed or not and after what happened we thought you might of done something drastic." said Stretch with a hint of pride in the fact that he is better than Razor at trying to get a point across.
"What do you mean drastic?" he said feeling the anger growing.
"Well Grim we all know that when you get angry you sort of-" stretch was interrupted by Razor.
"Your bucking crazy when your pissed bro!"
Grim's right eye twitched. He turned around and proceeded to walk. "I’m going to pretend I didn't hear that." Grim said in a deep voice.
After about three hours of walking the three ponies came across a small town, upon entering the town they were greeted by a bouncing young mare that proceeded to bombard them with questions. "Who are you, what are your names, where are you from?" shouted the mare with glee.
Now Pinkie we don’t want to scare off our new friends now do us?" Said a purple mare with a smile on her face. Stretch saw her and was stunned by her beauty. "Hi, I’m Twilight Sparkle and what are your names???" asked twilight with a hint of a flirty tone in her voice. Stretch snapped back to the now and answered
"I’m Stretch, that’s Razor, and that’s Grim." Stretch said with butterflies in his stomach.
"What happened to Grim?" asked Twilight with concern in her voice Grim looked at the ground "Here Grim come with me I will take you to a friend of mine who should be able to fix you up." Stretch nudged him along and Grim trotted after Twilight. Stretch looked at twilight inattentively as she trotted away.
"Put your eyes back into your head" Razor said mockingly.
"It’s for science yeah science, yeah science." sputtered Stretch.
The two ponies walked along a path that led to a small cottage. Twilight knocked on the door and a cream colored pony answered the door. "Oh hi Twilight," Said the cream colored Pegasus.
"Hey Fluttershy, this is Grim. He and his friends just came into town. Grim is a bit busted up and I thought you could help clean him up a bit." Twilight said with glee.
Fluttershy got a look at Grim and blushed. "Well h...h...hi. I....I'm Flutters...sh...sh...shy. It’s nice to m...m...meet you." Said the little pony. From what Grim could tell she was intimidated by the fact that he was busted up and that he was still slightly bleeding from the cut over his left eye. Grim thought to himself. "I don't know Twilight that is a serious cut and those burns are pretty bad, But I will see what I can do." Fluttershy announced with a tone of unsurity in her voice.
"Thanks Fluttershy I will be by later to check up on things." Twilight said with a smile on her face. "See ya later Grim." And with that said Twilight trotted off heading back towards the other two ponies.
Grim trotted into the small cottage right behind Fluttershy who showed him where to sit. The cottage was small yet cozy, it reminded Grim of his grandmother’s house, and The thought of this brought a tear to Grim’s eye. He wiped it away before looking to Fluttershy. "Um so Grim what happened to you if you don’t mind me um asking?" Fluttershy asked with a slight red pigment in her cheeks. Fluttershy's mind was racing with the possibility of what might have happened to him.
"It's nothing against you Fluttershy but I don’t really want to talk about it, the mental scar is still fresh in my mind." Grim said trying not to think about it.
"Oh... That’s okay I understand." Fluttershy said still a little red in the face. Fluttershy grabbed a white bottle and some rags and walked back over to Grim who was looking towords the ground. Fluttershy dabbed a little bit of the liquide on one of the rags, Grim was sure that it was paraxcide but he wasn't about to complain. "This might hurt a little bit." She said. she dabbed the rag on Grim's left leg where there were a few burns and cuts but it wasn't any thing serious.
"So how long have you lived in ponyville?" Grim asked Fluttershy was surprised that she was not the one who was ganna start the conversation to avoid the awkward sclience.
"Oh for some while now but i was born in cloudsdale like most pagusi." she said.
"oh." Grim said not sure waht to say next. After a few minuets of random questions and dabbing at the burns and cuts Fluttershy went to dab at his eye.
"Just hold still i need to clean your eye, it looks pretty bad." She said. Grim lowerd his head so she could see his eye better. "wow you got cut pretty bad what did this???" Fluttershy asked. "Whatever must of done this it was looking to kill!" she said with shock in her voice. Little did Grim know what did this has been to Ponyville before.
"Its nothing to serious." Grim said. Grim jerked his head in pain from the antibiotic.
"Oh I'm sorry I didnt mean to hurt you, im really sorry." Fluttershy said
"Its allright I can handel it, it realy isnt that big of a deal." Grim replied.
"I never did ask you where you were from Grim... Where were you born?" Fluttershy asked.
"Im from Las Pegasus." Grim told her with sorrow in his voice.
"I've heard that Las Pegasus is a lovely place, it must be nice but what brings you here?" Fluttershy asked intentivly.
"It was the griffins, thet destroyed Las Pegasus! And me and my friends have reason to believe that Ponyville is the next target." Grim Replied. with a hint of fear in his voice. "I tried to stop them but they where relentless in their efforts to enialate the ponies inhapiting the pouplar city. I personaly watched my family burn! The Griffins have no remorse, I attempted to save my family... How ever my fruitfull efforts failed and i was lucky to get out alive. I was lucky Guilda almost took my life rather than just the sight of my left eye! I swear I will avenge the lose of my family if its the last thing I do!!!" Grim said almost in a ragefull state.
Fluttershy staired in astoonishment. She was conflicted she could not believe that the grffins destroyed the city and why they had heard nothing till just now. Tears sweeled inside Grim's eye ducts. Fluttershy felt sorry for the colt he didnt look to old mabye around her age and he watched his family die. she finished banaging up his eye and the two of them went back to where they enterd town.
