I sat bolt up right on the grass like after waking up from a bad nightmare, "What?, where am I?" I said in a grunt while getting up, I noticed I was covered in dirt so I instinctively brushed it off, while getting up though I noticed a sharp pain in my leg which caused me to wince, I noticed that I was on the edge of a forest in the middle of nowhere so i decided to limp towards someone or even something to help me find out where the hell I am, the last thing I remember was... well... falling to... my death? no that can't be right, i'm standing right here reasonably healthy... no, it can't...  how the fuck am i here, i'm dead for god's sake, I jumped off of my fucking roof! I can't be alive, there's no possible way! And why am i here! why am i not in New York anymore? I need answers. I was limping down a dirt path which seemed to lead to a small cottage a little ways away from what looked like a small town, I limped up to the door and gave it three short knocks, "Hello, anyone in there, I need some directions", "Coming!" called a soft voice from the other side, I could clearly tell it was feminine, I wasn't prepared for what was on the other side though, as the door opened slightly I could see what looked like a large eye peek out of the doorway before i could hear an audible "eep!" then the door slammed shut. the poor girl was scared of something so I knocked again this time saying "Hey what's wrong? i'm not gonna hurt you if that's what you're thinking, I just need some help ok?", the door opened again slightly to reveal her eye and half of her face, I took notice that she looked nothing like a human, she had a muzzle protruding from her face and long pink hair that covered half her eye, her skin was a butter colored yellow and her eyes were pretty big, bigger than a normal woman's eyes were, she was quite visibly shaking too, "Don't worry, I wont hurt you, please i just need some help" she seemed to calm slightly after stating this and opened her door a little more so I could see more of her and a little inside her home, she had quite a few animals walking, climbing, flying, "you a vet or something?" as I pointed behind her, she turned around getting the message that I was looking behind her "kinda, I just look after the poor woodland creatures that are hurt or need care of any kind, you like animals too?" she asked after giving her answer "yes actually, before my most recent job I worked with animals often, helping them when they were hurt" I replied back She seemed to brighten up at this and opened the door wider as she let me in, she let me sit on the couch for a while, "sorry, I didn't catch your name miss...?" " Fluttershy " "sorry I didn't catch that" i responded " Fluttershy " she responded again in a slightly louder tone, Fluttershy? I wondered, odd name for a girl but none the less, she told me her name so i'll tell her mine "Lucas, Lucas Kane" I told her, "oh? if you don't mind me asking, what are you?", "Human" I responded, "I could ask the same about you" "I'm a pony ", Ponies? talking sentient equines? I must be dead, there's no way "Hello?" you mean i'm talking to a miniature horse right now "Lucas you there?" I go through a mental Hell and suddenly wake up in a place full of talking tiny horses... seriously!? "oh my celestia!" fluttershy shrieked which in turn made me shoot out of my little trance I had going "huh, whats wrong!?" I asked her, "your back leg, its bleeding!" oh right forgot about that, its not as bad as it was earlier but it still hurt, fluttershy returned with a band-aid and disinfectant and got to work on my leg right away, I could feel my eyes droop a little each ten or so seconds and after about a minute I was out cold. //-------------------------------------------------------// 2: Under Control //-------------------------------------------------------// 2: Under Control "*groan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyu8oBTZakU&index=18&list=PLFD68E461448BDDBB&fmt=18)* my head" i woke up in a small bed in the same small cottage i stumbled into yesterday it was rather nice here, nice bed, good atmosphere and i get a overall get a nice feeling from just being here, a small clash was heard downstairs so i got up and limped downstairs since i still had my leg injury, i was halfway towards the stairs until i heard voices coming from down there, i was hesitant at first but i finally after about three minutes decided to be a man about it and go down there. I was walking down and noticed that it was not only fluttershy that was down there but a group of about 5 other ponies with her... one was a bright pink pony with a fluffy puffed out mane that looked like it hadn't been brushed for months and a small mark on her rump that had what looked to be three ballons going in three directions. another was a cyan pony with rainbow colored hair, "that cant be real, she must have dyed it that way" I thought to myself, she too had a mark but this one was a light thunder cloud with rainbow colored lighting?, she also had wings which got me thinking. one other was a light orange colored pony with a blonde mane and a stetson hat that adorned her head, she had no wings but had a mark depicting three apples "must be some sort of farmer" I thought. another one was a white colored pony with a striking purple mane with a distinctive curl at the end, she had a horn and the mark of three crystals? diamonds? oh heck if i know I'll just ask her later. the last was a purple pony with a dark purple straight mane with dark pink and light purple streaks running through it, what kinda shocked me though was she had both a horn AND wings, the wings were noticeably bigger than both the cyan pony's and fluttershy's, her mark was one of a six pointed star with smaller six pointed stars surrounding the big one. after a small while I continued downstairs into their view, a few seemed to cower at me but fluttershy, the cyan and orange ponies didn't seem to be scared but seemed more defensive if you know what i mean, "oh hi Lucas, how are you?" fluttershy asked, "oh hey Fluttershy, I'm fine thanks; who are they?" I replied in a slightly worried tone, "these are my friends, c'mon girls introduce yourselves, he wont hurt you" she replied, the purple one slowly walked up to me then started circling me in an investigative motion eyeing me up and down seeming to tell if I meant any harm, suddenly her horn lit up getting me even more worried and forcing me to ask "um, what are you doing?", "im going through your memories, i want to see if you mean any har...", I cut her off by pushing her away from me with a little too much force causing her to fall over and whatever her horn was doing to stop, this seemed to anger the group apart from fluttershy who just hid behind her mane a little, "im sorry i didn't mean t...", before I could finish the cyan one had threw me to the ground and pinned me down and was now shouting in my face, "who do you think you are disrespecting a princess like that!?, I'm going to buck you back to where you came from you hairless ape (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SsxOR1wdU8&index=26&list=PLFD68E461448BDDBB&fmt=18)!", at that she jumped off of me and prepared to "buck" me, when she attempted to strike I rolled out of the way causing her to fall to the ground in a pretty humiliating fashion, "you are gonna pay for that!" she shouted back at me she recovered quicker than I was expecting and darted at me very fast, but i was faster, I instantly side-stepped her attack and grabbed her wing while she was mid-flight, swung her over my shoulder and face first into the ground, I could still see that my supernatural powers had came along with me too, not that I approved of this but I was still thankful that I wasn't dead yet, at that the orange one charged and suddenly leaped at me with anger written all over her face, I dodged out of the way and grabbed her by the neck, she was flailing around at my grip and with that i threw her at the wall, to my surprise she went straight through the wall and landed on the grass outside, I could see out of the corner of my eye that the white horse was charging some sort of spell from her horn anger written all over her face too, the spell fired at me but i barrel rolled out of the way and recovered almost instantly, I was close enough to attack so I threw a punch towards her hitting her square in the eye, now im not much for hitting girls or women but if my life is on the line then i must do what I have to to stay alive, the white unicorn fell over clutching hey eye and wailing, then I noticed that the purple mare had recovered and was also charging a shot pointed directly at me, "in the name of celestia i banish you from this realm and back into what tarturus you came from evil creature!" the purple one exclaimed she fired the shot and i dodged it by back-flipping off of the wall and back onto the ground, she didn't seem to be intimidated at this but rather was filled with determination and fired another shot at me, I also dodged this and when close enough to her I landed an uppercut straight to her chin causing her to rear up on her hind legs allowing me to get a punch straight to her chest and stomach, I did so and she fell to the ground winded from the force of the punches, I turned around to see to other ponies, fluttershy and the pink one both cowering in fear, the pink ponies hair had deflated into a straight dark pink mane and was crying, fluttershy was in the corner crying her eyes out ready to accept her fate, i walked up to the two cowering ponies and got onto one knee next to them "I wont hurt you, please understand that I was only trying to defend myself, im sorry if I scared you but please understand that you have no idea what happened to me in the past that causes me to act like this, please... help me get these girls upstairs", they nodded hesitantly as they got up and helped put the unconscious mares into a spare bed each. I hope i can make a better impression tomorrow.
