I Wake Somewhere Strange

Stupid Plan

Previous Chapter

I'm honestly Surprised I haven't been seen through all of this. Its not like I'm invisible or I can blend in to the crowds. I don't even blend into the dark since my clothes are ruined and I'm almost as white as snow. Something in the back of my mind (could that be nightmare just muted somehow?) is making me think it could be a trap. Surely there should be something or someone charging at me planning my pending demise.

But as I look to the surroundings yea there are ponies all around but none of them seem to notice me. I think I would notice if they had as not gonna lie they seem kinda flighty. Nevertheless I stay near the shadows and corners following as closely as I can to these two oblivious guards. I mean they have to be oblivious right they have been being followed for well over a few miles.

We eventually make it to a kinda town square area and if I thought the town was populated before I was wrong there were ponies everywhere all gathering around the princess that attacked me.

"My little Ponies I assure you there is nothing to fear of the beast that was here merely hours ago I have contingents of guards posted all around town and they will be keeping a vigilant watch until we find it." She seems so sure and confidant and looks particularly flawless considering we fought I guess hours ago. I guess that says I am very unskilled at combat. Not very surprising.

"What about the sky!?" one of the ponies asks in a panic thus setting off many other ponies in the crowd (or would it be a herd?) with their own questions too fast for me to keep track of but Celestia seems to be hearing each one and I don't know how that would be even possible.

"There is nothing to be afraid of whatever is causing the sky to do this will be fixed soon." heh damage control much?

Suddenly I was tackled from behind with the force of something akin to a cannon sliding me along the ground whatever hit me riding me along.

"I KNEW IT!" A raspy voice yelled in my ear. In what probably took too long for my to do I put my hands out in front of me and see the same shadowy aura appear around my hands and then around me like a shell forcing whatever was on me off as I stand up my front evidently covered in a few scrapes.

I turn and look at what hit me and see a lean pony with wings her fur was cyan in color and had a rainbow mane. Were all of these ponies so brightly colored?

"Come out of that ball and fight me freak!" She yelled at me flying a few feet above the air hitting the shield I made. (I really need to learn how to do this stuff on command)

"And get rode into the ground again? Not really endearing if I'm telling the truth." Her eyes narrow more into a glare as I hear some clanking and hoofsteps behind me and turn to look seeing a small contingent of the guards and the princess walking over to me.

"So you came back certainly makes the search for you easier." Celestia said to me seeming a lot calmer I think shes hiding it though she has a look in her eyes and probably doesn't want to scare her little ponies with anger. Still don't know what I even did with the first place and doubt I'd get an answer if I asked nicely.

"How can you be sure I even left?" What am I doing I can just come clean but something about doing that just doesn't feel right and whoever that blue pony is shes still hitting the bubble I made and its getting really annoying.

"Can you stop already!?" I turn and yell at her she just glares and yells back.

"What too scared to fight me?"

"No I just don't want to." The princess then chimes in from behind me.

"Leave us I want to talk with her alone."

"But princess!" One of the guards interjects.

"Go Sureshot I will be ok if she wanted to do anything she would of by now."

They all leave except for me and the princess we are both staring each other down eyes locked with one another. I really wish I had Nightmare's advice right now I have no idea what I'm going to do now.
