Chapter 2: Trying not to lose my mind.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSo, after clearing up my schedule and working out and making a deal with my boss, I've figured out that I can work on the chapters for this story on either Saturday nights, or Sundays, so expect a LOT more work on this one than the last story, for those of you who have rated to story, thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it, and if you ever find something confusing, or strange, just let me know, I'll try to fix it as quickly as I can, now that I've gotten that cleared up, let's get back to the story.
I was awake, it was bright outside, and it smelled... Nice... My eyes were closed, but I already knew I wasn't anywhere near the city... It was much too quiet and I didn't choke if I breathed in too much, or too quickly.
I opened my eyes to find myself in a brightly decorated room, wooden, and also there was what appeared to be a veggie sandwich, orange juice, and a muffin, I reached for the glass, and saw my arm, my eyes went wide as I stared at it, I was no longer sleepy, or tired, because all I saw was a stumpy looking thing, and a hard, brownish, black hoof at the end.
I remained silent for a time, staring at the appendage, then panic took over as I yelled at the top of my lungs,"AAAAAAAH!" I tried to pick myself off of the bed by sitting up, but found it an awkward thing to do with hips built for four-legged animals, I fell off of the bed, I landed on something, and I heard a 'pop', and insane amount of pain shot through something, at first I had thought it was my arm, but then looking back at the hoofed limb, I realized it was something else, I tried to get up, failing miserably the first few time, then finally righting myself, I looked at my back, and saw two grayish-silver appendages, one twisted at an awkward angle, thinking about it, I simply though, "Wings. I have wings." I was stopped mid thought by a wave of pure pain, I yelled again.
A quiet voice emanated from below, "Oh my, you're awake!" I panicked as soon as I heard loud "Thumps" coming from the stairs outside of the door, I ran behind the bed, one wing in pain, the other flapping wildly, knocking against the headrest repeatedly, my hurt wing flapped too, causing even more pain to shoot though it, I held it down as best I could, the other still flapping loudly. The door creaked as it opened, and I heard a kind voice ask, "Are you okay in here?" My wings shot straight up, I had to hold them down to keep them from giving away my hiding place, of course, this made my injured wing pulse pain, I involuntarily whimpered, then shove my hoof over my mouth, my wings shot up again, knocking against the wood loudly.
"There you are!" I heard the voice say a loud series of clops got louder as she got closer to me, I tensed up, expecting my kidnapper to be holding a knife or a gun, next to the bed,"Hi there." A Creamish-yellow head popped out from behind behind the headrest, pink hair covering one of her eyes, which were kind and seemed to ooze kindness. "Are you okay?" She asked, genuinely worried, I was breathing heavily, I launched myself away from her, smashing my head against the hard wood of the wall.She cringed as I curled up in a ball, holding the top of my head, clenching my teeth.
"DAMMIT!" I yelled loudly, she backed away a bit, I just stayed there and rubbed my head a bit, then tried to hide behind the small table next to the bed, cowering in fear.
"It's okay, I won't hurt you." She smiled, her face seemed very kind, her eyes pools of calming blue water. She held out a hoof. At first I hesitated, then looking again into her eyes, I hooked my hoof around hers and she helped me up onto my hooves. I winced as my wing seemed to become a pain factory again, She looked at it, and said, "Oh, your poor wing... You need help... well... If you want help that is..." She blushed lightly, looking down.
"Um... sure... thanks..." I said, She was taller than me, She also had wings from the look of it, I held my broken wing out to the side, pain shot through it again, I winced and tried to hold as still as possible so she could see. She looked at it, she shifted it around a bit, being very careful not to cause too much discomfort.
"Um... does it hurt when I do this?" She pushed a bit on the joint that was sort of like an elbow, I winced and she stopped. "I see, you must popped it out of place..." She walked out, then came back in with a first aid kit. "please try to stay still for this, it'll only take a minute..." She was right, it did in fact take only a minute... but it was a very painful minute...
"Thanks again Fluttershy, I owe you one... " I looked back at my wing, a splint holding it in place, bandages keeping it tightly against my body.
She smiled kindly, "It's no problem, um... I'm sorry, what IS your name?"
"It's-" I stopped, what WAS my name? "I... I don't know..." My head dropped, staring down at the colorful rug on the floor. I tried to look through my memories, trying to see if I could find myself, but they all stopped at this morning. I had absolutely no Idea who I was... "I don't know who I am..."
She looked at me, her eyes full of worry, "We should get you to Twilight, she'll know what to do..." She got up from her sitting position, and grabbed a small bag by the front door, she swung it across the back and opened the door, "I'll try to be back as soon as possible, but if you see anypony coming this way, ask their names before letting them in, okay?"
"Alright." She smiled again, "There's a list of people coming by today on the table, just check those names to see if someone who needs heir pet returned comes by."
"Alright." she walked out, leaving me alone. I walked out the back door, looking around, a chicken coop sat near the back left corner of the fenced off yard, a thick, dark forest loomed menacingly in the back ground, several animals were out and playing in he backyard, enjoying themselves. I laid down on a spot of tall grass, looking around again. Man... I must be going crazy... I closed my eyes, then heard a flapping over me.
"Hey!" A sassy female voice said, "Where's Tank?" I opened my eyes to find an annoyed looking cyan pegasus glaring at me. "Well?" Sh landed, her rose colored eyes had filled my vision before, and now I could see her Rainbow hair flowing down along her back and neck, a cloud with a multi-colored lightning bolt was on her flank.
"Let me guess, Rainbow Dash?" I stood up, Fluttershy had told me about Rainbow, She talked about her in an almost fangirl- like way, "You here for your tortoise?"
"Yeah! Why else would I come by?" She looked at me in an uninterested way, but her eyes kept getting wide and then she made them smaller again. "Who are you anyway?"
A few of the smaller animals had been fighting earlier, one of them stormed off, a raccoon, and climbed up into the tree near the cottage, one of the squirrels had gotten into t tree and gotten mad at the raccoon, which in turn lead to the raccoon being pushed off of the tree and onto Rainbow Dash, who fell on me, knocking me into the back of the cottage, breaking the wooden splint Fluttershy had painfully put on me, and also knocking me out, Not two days and I'm already getting major injuries... man... my life sucks... I slowly drifted into unconsciousness as Rainbow Dash trotted over to me, she was freaking out, shaking me by my shoulders.
"Come on! Twilight will kill me if I hurt you..." She said, her voice slowly getting distant. and then nothing... nothing, but Nightmares...
