Chapters Me, the Ponies and my Grandma
A "friendly" hello (Side B)
~~~~~~~Princess of Friendship POV: 20 min. ago ~~~~~~~
"... and I told you that is impossible." I say to Rainbow as she was looking between me and the Everfree forest.
"I told you that's what I saw. It was real, we have to evacuate Ponyville before it's too late." Rainbow had trying to convince me that a strange creature has appeared in Everfree that is able to breathe fire at a timberwolf and had managed to defeat it with it.
"Twilight, that is true I saw it too." Clear Sky says standing behind Rainbow looking worriedly at the forest.
"And I told once aguain, girls. No creature that small can produce fire and defeat a timberwolf, one of the most dangerous creatures in the Everfree forest. Only the fire of a big dragon is able to burn a healthy Timberwolf as you describe me. And if it was a big dragon, I am pretty sure we will be able to see it from here. Besides, why is there a timberwolf so close to the edge of the forest? They are way too smart to attempt doing something like that" I say throwing an unamused look at the two pegasi. "When is the drizzle going to stop by the way?"
"Twilight I am totally serious here. That thing freaked me out. It was like anything I saw before. I couldn't see it that well but... it walks on two legs and... and have big claws and fangs and.... and I am sure if breath fire. I- no, we saw it with our own eyes. It was with this small explosion and all." Rainbow eyed Clear Sky as a cue to nod. Sky nodded.
"Ok, Rainbow, If it makes you happy. I will send a group of guards tomorrow morning."
"By that time it will be too late. You have to trust me on this one..." Rainbow and I continue discussing the unprovability of the existence of such creature but we stop when we saw Fluttershy running this way.
"Twilight! Twilight! We have a problem!!"
"What happen Fluttershy?" Rainbow was the first to approach the yellow pegasus.
"Oh, thanks, Celestia I found you girls. There is was monster attacking. One that I have never seen before. It wanted to break into my house. It even broke one of my windows and I think it is coming this way. What do we do?" Fluttershy said breathing heavily for all the running.
"Don't worry Fluttershy we will call the other girls to deal with this. Meanwhile, go and tell Mayor Mare this to help you inform everypony else and tell them to hide in my castle, they will be safer in there or at least that they get inside their homes and lock the doors." Fluttershy nodded and start running towards the town hall with Clear Sky not far behind. "Rainbow, you go ahead and call the others. We may need there help... What?" I ask as Rainbow as she was watching me with an angry expression. "You didn't believe me when I told you about the monster but you believe Fluttershy?"
"What? She is the animal expert. Is very weird if she gets afraid of an animal in the forest. We have seen her fight stronger creatures. I even saw her wrestling a grizzly bear once. If she gets scared by a creature then there is something to worry about"
"Hum... I'm starting to believe you don't trust me very much."
I just put a hoof on her shoulder, smiled and said: "Rainbow, Rainbow" well moving my head from left to right. Then I start running towards the Town Hall.
"Wait, why didn't you answered? what does that smile mean? ... and I still don't believe the bear wrestling thing you know"
~~~~~
The words of a monster going to attack Ponyville spread quickly thanks to my friends. Very few hides in their own houses but many others take refuge in my castle but I believe they took this as an opportunity to see it more thoroughly. Spike, Starlight, and Rarity help calming down everypony in their meanwhile Rainbow, AJ, Pinkie and I stay in the Town Hall looking for any sign of danger.
"There. I see something approaching." Rainbow said from up in the cloudy sky pointing the edge of the town by the direction of the forest as we predict. I fly up to her with binoculars. It was indeed a strange creature, One I have never seen or read about it before. He was walking in two like a minotaur but smaller and it didn't seem to have fur on his body unless he was hiding it under those strange clothes. The only sight of any kind of hair was its light brown hair on the top of his head.
"Aughhhhh Oh no." Pinkie inhales deeply with a look of terror.
"What Pinkie what is wrong?" I ask flying down to her.
"The Cakes!!!"
"Pinkie this is not time for desserts"
"No, a cake. Mrs. and Ms. Cake. look" Pinkie point at Sugar Cube Corner. The lights were still turn on and shadows of ponies moving were seeing inside.
"What are they doing? Pinkie you forget to tell them?" Pinkie just looks at me with a sheepish smile. "Ough Pinkie, AJ can you two go and tell them to go to my castle with the others.
"Sure thing" Applejack nodded and started galloping towards the house with Pinkie not far behind.
"Rainbow in what direction is the creat... Rainbow?" I look up to only find a Ranbowless sky. I fly trying to see where she went and find out she was now near the creature on the roof of a nearby house. I carefully fly towards her procuring for the creature to not heard me or see me. luckily it was still dark and it never thought about looking up.
"Rainbow, are you crazy? Don't go solo with this. We don't know what it is capable of."
"You worry too much Twilight. Now that I look at it more closely, it doesn't seem that big of a deal." We whispered to each other as we look at the monster approaching the market near the apple stand.
"Yes, and I don't see any claws or fangs on that thing," I say giving her an incredulous look. Rainbow just laugh nervously.
"Ok, maybe I exaggerate a bit, but the fire thing, I'm pretty sure I see it doing it." I look at her in disbelief. We both continue staring at the creature now being in front of the apple stand graving an apple.
"Don't worry I will pay" We heard the creature saying something before he bite the apple and swallow it. We were far to be able to understand completely what was said.
"What? did - did it just talk? Maybe we can reason with it after all."
"Yea, I heard it a couple of times before you arrived too but I wasn't sure if they were words but now..." Rainbow said slamming her front hooves together putting a war face. "I am sure. I clearly heard that thing saying that we were going to pay... or something."
"Wait. What? Are you sure? Did the apples offend it somehow?" I ask out loud, more to myself as I saw the creature munching apple after apple. "Rainbow, if it can talk we can reason with it. We don't need another 'Zecora' incident again. But it seems like I was talking whit a wall as she just laughs a little showing a determined and somehow diabolical expression.
Then we heard it. The slamming of a door closing shut that echoes through the now quiet Ponyville. Seeing where it had come from, I could see Pinkie smiling nervously next to the door of sugar cube corner. I look back at the creature and it seems it heard the slam too as he was running towards it, luckily there were some houses in between so he had to go around it to go there.
"Ough, Rainbow. don't do anything rash, ok? I will go and see what happened." I said not sure if Dash heard me or not and then I concentrated in my horn getting ready to teleport next to Pinkie.
*Poof *
"What happened? and the Cakes?" I ask nervously Pinkie looking at Mr. and Ms. Cake holding their babies just outside the door.
"Sorry Twi. The door didn't want to fudge. You know, we need to fix that. is a fire hazard or... a monster attack hazard for that matter." Pinkie said scratching the back of her head.
"No time for that. The creature heard you and is coming this way. Where is Applejack?" I ask looking around. I stop when I saw her hidden behind a tree looking the other way and weaving her hoof in the air at us. She was telling us to get inside the house
"Pinkie, everypony let's go inside and try the back door, now!" I demanded. Pushing them inside and closing the door behind me, we carefully skipped trying to not make too much noise.
"Hello, is anyone there?!" We herd as the creature slams the door and speaking in perfect Ponish. I was about to tell everypony to stay calm and to be quiet but Pinkie bet me to it.
"Quick, hide. It is outside." The pink pony says pushing the Cake family and me into the kitchen followed by taking her party cannon out from who knows where ready to shoot it.
"Wait. Pinkie we don't know if it is a threat or not?" I whispered through the kitchen door but then all heard the lauds screams of the creature.
"Ok, that's it!! I am seeking tired of this!!. I had a really bad day to not only you try to play hide and sick with me but also to dare call me 'it' " We all heard the creature saying sounding very angry follow up by the sound of the door forcefully open by a strong hit.
"Ok, maybe it is a threat after all". I say as I took the Cakes out if the back door and walking them towards my castle. As we were running we heard the sound of Pinkie's cannon and the sounds of somepony struggling along with Rainbow's war cries.
~*~*~
When we finally arrived, I found Rarity by the entrance of my house. "Oh, Darling. are you guys ok?" She asks worriedly.
"Yea we are fine but I think Pinkie and the others are trying to subdue the creature."
"Oh, my. We need to help them then. But first. Mr. and Mrs. Cake, babies. why don't you come and join the party "
"Party?"
"Oh with pleasure." The Cakes nodded happily as Rarity open the doors. As soon as she does that, a loud electronic music escape from the inside. When we enter, Rarity quickly closes the door behind us to not allow the loud noises inside to came out. After that, she told me she will be right back in a minute, that she needs to do refresh herself. She quickly gallops and gets lost in between the see of dancing ponies.
Inside in the main hall, there was indeed a party going on. All the lights were turn off having smoke machines, blinking colors lights and lasers instead. At the top of the main stairs, there was DJ Pon3 with all her instruments and subwoofers playing her tunes with ponies in the middle of the main hall dancing and enjoying the music. I never really notice that crystal walls were really good in acoustic insulation.
"Cupcake, why don't we see how the bedrooms in here are. I always wanted to know how the castle really looks on the inside." Mr. Cake said eyeing the rooms on the sides giving Mrs. Cake a lust look. A look that Mrs. Cake gives back "Oh, *ahem* Princess Twilight, It wouldn't be any trouble, right? The babies need her nap in a quiet room."
"Ah, what ... yes, yes by my guess... Spike? Spike?!!" I say running as I saw Spike with a food tray with some sort of beverages on them. "Spike, what is all this?"
"Oh, Twilight. Hello. Do you like the party?"
"No, I don't like it. Who's idea was this? Pinkie? And what are you serving?"
"Well, you say that you want everypony to stay calm and Nothing better than a party to do that Or at least that is what Trixie said. This was her idea. She and Starlight are making food and drinks in the kitchen. Did you know Starlight can make a cake like in 15 seconds? That is awesome.Oh, And this well..." Spike says lowering the tray, not before Fruit Punch took the last five little cups Spike had on it and ran off." I think these are Jell-O but Trixie said that they weren't for me. She made them herself and her Special brownies everypony are enjoying too. Those aren't for me either. But who would want Jell-O in such little cups? It wouldn't be better to serve them in big cups?" Spike asks confused picking up an empty plastic shot cup from the floor.
"Ough... of course she was. I don't have time for this. Spike, tell Starlight to come outside in the main hall as soon as she can. We may need her crystal spell to capture the beast... and don't eat anything Trixie makes, ok?. Spike just salute.
I quickly go and look for Major Mare to make sure anypony else needed help. I find her dancing in the middle of the hall with the others, she told me that everypony who wanted to come to and I quote: Twilight's party has already come with the Cakes being the only exception.
"Great, Is official. I am hosting the biggest party since Rainbow Dash birthday party and I wasn't even aware of it " I thought. I quickly alert her that the whole town was already inside and to not let anypony out. She just nodded and continue to dance like nothing. "And she is the Mayor of Ponyville, unbelievable. " I quickly find Rarity getting out of the bathroom and we get outside to help our friends as quickly as possible.
We run as fast as we can arriving just in time to see the creature crashing at high speed into a wall. We stop our track as we heard the sound of 'Oooh '-ing everypony watching, including us, made at seeing its face slamming on the wall.
"That didn't sound good. Ahm ... Rarity, can you please go to Fluttershy's? I think she went around back to her cottage to make sure her animals were ok. She may know how to treat it." Rarity, with one last pitty look at the beast, take a turn towards Fluttershy's cottage.
*Poof*
"Ok, I am here. is everything o-k? Oooh . what did you girls do to that poor thing?" Starlight had teleported just next to the others. She flinched at seeing the strange bipedal creature laying down next to a wall with a trail of blood showing the way his face took before laying down on his back with blood all over him.
"Yea Applejack. what did you do?" Rainbow came flying from the sky. I, on the other hoof, couldn't handle to see it and I stay far from that sight. I am ok with what I can see from here, thank you.
"Ah didn't do anything. Ah swear. Ah - ah think it was trying to hit me with that circus trick it did back there but it moves away from me at the last second. That right there could be me." I could see Applejack pointing at the creature as it tries to stand up. "Ah think this creature is just afraid of us."
"Oh!!, that doesn't look good." Even Pinkie's face flinches at watching the bipedal creature trying to standing up. "I don't know much about this thing but I am sure his leg isn't supposed to bend like that."
All were looking in horror how the creature tries to take steps with blood oozing from its leg and nose only to stumble a little and grabbing the bloodied wall to just scream at us. "And-d dthersd mord whered dthat comfddomd!!!" It said what looks like words. I think it jaw was injured too as he crashes on the wall or at the very least, he had bitten his tongue.
"Starlight, use your crystal spell on it or it will injure itself more!!!" I scream from far where I was. I really didn't want to see blood up close. Starlight looks pitifully at it before closing her eyes and unleashes a beam of magic at the creature.
"Are you sure this is a good idea Twi, Isn't that spell would, you know, hurt it?"
"Don't worry Applejack," I say finally convincing my guts to not let go of its content as the creature's injuries weren't that visible inside that creature. "The spell just is uncomfortable at most, believe me, I know" I stare at Starlight who gives a nervous chuckle. "The crystal around it will work as a cast all over its body. It will work until Fluttershy arrive. She will know what to do next."
But this seems to be useless. As we were talking to each other about what we think that thing was and what he has done, a white palpating light start envelops the beast from inside the crystal prison as little cracks started to appear.
"What? That isn't possible. Not even Twilight had managed to escape from this spell that quick." My pupil screams out loud. It was true, Starlight's cristal spell isn't one you could scape easy from. Not in all zoology books I have read of a creature capable to do that, I even doubt Princess Celestia or Luna could do it that fast. But there it was, in front of my eyes. A creature with the strength enough to break free from a hexagonal crystal formation.
"Hahahahahaha" We heard a loud crack making the crystal finally to give up and break in little pieces as a maniacal laughter of the beast was heard. A laugh so menacing, not even Queen Chrysalis could give it justice. Every pony there took steps back, all besides AJ and Dash.
We saw with wide eyes not only he had freed himself from the crystal but it looks like all his injuries were cured including its bad looking leg as he was jumping with it probably testing if it was ok.
"Quick!!! Seized it before it hurt anypony!" I scream waking the girls out of her trance. Soon all start closing up to him. The creature scared started to throw Rose's pots from her windows at us, She had several of the small ones still without any plants and with only the dirt which was used to blind us. The beast had mostly blainded almost all of us including myself.
I scratch my eyes traying to ease the burning sensation while I heard Applejack screaming "Ah retract everything ah said about you!!!!" When I finally was able to see again I saw Applejack being all tied up and threw at Rainbow in midair.
I take a look at Starlight who was close to me ready to tell her something but she started running towards it too. "Yes, Pinkie. Get it distracted I will I try to crystalize it again." She said shooting beams while Pinkie started to shoot cakes out from her cannon. The two had managed to corner him under a tree. If the two are able to contain him enough time I could probably teleport it in the friendship dungeon.
I let those two handle the situation as I saw Rarity coming with Fluttershy. "Girls, Over here" I signal them from behind some tree.
"Twilight, what happens? Is that creature ok? I heard it was hurt really bad. I bought my first aid kit just in case. Oh-uu I just hope this wasn't my fault." Fluttershy responded raising a bag with her wings showing it at me.
"Sorry, Fluttershy but a change of plans. It seems this creature is stronger than we believe."
"What?" Rarity asked out aloud. "Can that thing still move after that injury?"
"Well..." *Boom* Twilight was interrupted by an explosion. All three mares watch how Starlight, the mare that rivals Twilight if not exceeds her in magical talent, was sent flying into some bushes as the creature was standing with one of his appendages raised emanating smoke.
"I-I am afraid so. This thing is immune to magic for all we can tell. We can't capture him. I-I I don't know what to do."
"Why don't we start by helping Apple Jack, Darling?" Rarity point at applejack that was struggling with the ropes around her.
"Oh right, good call" We nodded and quickly started running towards Apple Jack. That was until I saw I shadow figure looking from within the shadows. I couldn't really tell what it was but by its size, it was no pony. I stop without Rarity or Fluttershy awareness to trying to figure out where it was watching. Then I realize what was it watching, by this time Rainbow have recovered and was now facing the creature pounding the ground both ready to ram into each other.
It seems that the creature has noticed this too. The creature takes a step forwards what allows me to figure out what it really was. "Rainbow, wait!!" I scream but she didn't listen.
Haaaaaaaaa!! Haaaaaaaaa!!
I heard the two screaming at each other as they run shearing a determined glare. I see how the figure in the shadow moves at an incredible speed towards the screaming fighters."Wait, stop!!!" I try one last time to warn the prismatic mare but it was too late.
*Whomp*
Author's Note
Uff, finally a new chapter. Just to let you guys know that I have not forgotten about this one. I just... hum... I procrastinate a lot
I promise more chapters regularly, next one at the very late will be at mid-February, and I hope this one was worth the waiting.
Thank you once again and as always have a nice day.
Me, the Ponies and my Grandma
The sight of houses, buildings, stores, and coffee shops on every corner was quickly replaced with trees, trees, and even more trees as we travel all the way from my comfortable couch to the deep of the forest. A "family trip" as my parents like to call it, I vote more for the name "prison" but I guess that's only my opinion. And since my opinion isn't worth that much in this family. I guess I am stuck here.
I Look at the forest in front of me as I think about all the other things I could have done this summer instead of going to.. to THIS . I could go to paintball field with my friends, go skateboarding. I could have seen the new Y-Men movie, I could even go and ask Martha for a date, maybe, I don't know? that's a possibility, right?
"Monty….MONTY!" I hear my mother finally screaming in frustration while I was pretending not hear her. I slowly turn around to see her with a boring expression in my face. "Monty, are you listening? Can you please clean your little sister mouth, she could be drawn with her own barf" She says from the passenger seat of the van while my dad drives.
I look at my 3-year-old sister bond to a custom made baby seat of the car like if she was in one of those mental institutes for crazy people. "Calm down Mom, she is ok. Is just a little spit of milk," I say as I clean her her cheek with my shirt and making funny faces earning a cute laugh from her.
"But not with your shirt sweetie, we have to look nice for your new sister-in-law. We need to have a good first impression. Or did you forget about them?"
"Sure, how can I forget about that?" I mentally roll my eyes. Not seriously I am asking, how can I forget about it? My mom and dad could not stop talking about my oldest brother, Jimmy getting marry with a woman of a prestigious family, owners of a chain of a 5-star hotel all over the world or something. Frankly, I start thinking that they forgot all about my other older brother and me.
"Oh, and we forget to tell you that Sammy is about to get his doctorate in medicine too so we have organized him a party for him. We even invited all of his friends. So don't ruin your clothes before the party would you, son?" My dad says adjusting the rear-view mirror to look at me.
So is just me who is forgotten, as usual. "What? Are we going to have a party? Why hasn't anyone told me before? And why does he have a part? No one throws me a party when I pass 8th grade" I complain while I got aware that we have already arrived at our destiny, I cabin in the middle of the forest where we went every summer and I loved going when I was a child. Only when I was a child.
"Ush, Ush, Samantha. there-there," My Mom runs to comfort my sister as the sudden slam of the car door I shut scare her. She releases all the harness from the costume made baby seat she order and hold her close as she looks at me with an angry expression. "You mean barely pass. You almost fail the semester, remember? Seriously Monty Jimmy and Sammy pass with straights A's in their high schools. Sure you can do better than that in.. yours." She says making emphasis in yours.
I roll my eyes and sigh deeply "Yeah sure mom, sorry for being the shame of the family," I say grabbing my old and trustworthy blue backpack out from the back of the car. I have to do it by myself since there wasn't anybody to do it for me. Dad has given them all a vacation for the week.
"Augh, Monty don't be so melodramatic. And I am going to tell you this before you over react, Your Grandma call and she says that she is coming to the party too"
And as if someone had thrown a baseball ball into my weak point I let go of my backpack and turns to look at my mom in shock." Grand's coming?!"
The rest of the day pass as I expected. The party was as boring as any other party my parents organize. Full of fancy stuff with a fancy food and all. I stare at Sammy's friends with a little amusement while they slowly die of boredom. They surely didn't expect this to be this boring. I and all my other brothers are already used to this kind of parties but it is always fun seeing the will of some people being decayed on parties like this.
After a while, when the dinner was over and the sun was getting down, Sammy and his friends call a limousine to go to the "real party" as he calls it. Of course all behind my parent's knowledge. For them, Sam is an angel. If only they know the things he has told me.
"Well is getting late. Why don't we prepare everything for some smores and sing songs around a campfire like we use to." My dad says after he and mom say their last congrats to Sam and give him and his friends a farewell.
"Ho good idea Albert. Jimmy, why don't you come with me to grab some firewood in the forest " My grandma says with her trembling voice graving my shoulder with her hand. Since she arrives at the cabin, she has tried to make a conversation with me. I, being the stubbornness teen as I am, try my best to pretend not hear her and walks away from her.
I like my Grand, I really do. And maybe that's kind of the problem. But if there is something I hate about her is that awful habit of her of mistaking my name with my brother's.
"Grand he is not Jimmy, I'm Jimmy, did you take your pills?" My oldest brother says entering the room with my soon-to-be-sister. She was a tall Caucasian young lady with long red hair. I would salute her before if it weren't for the fact she seems to have a snotty attitude. My brother sure knows how to pick them. "And is better if I go instead, is getting late and soon it will get dark"
"No, is ok, he can come with me. I will protect him if something happens. And thanks for reminding me about my pills Sweety" Grand says grabbing Jimmy's cheek like a little kid, he is 28 by the way, then she grabs from her big purse a bottle with big, yellow and green pills and swallows one of them.
"I need no protection. I am already all grown up thank you very much. And who is saying I want to go? " I say while pulling my shoulder away from Grand's hands as well as giving her a quick glare. My grandma looks back at me with eyes that I really couldn't read. I never know what is in her mind sometimes so I don't know if she was mad, confuse or sad which really defeats the purpose of doing that sort of things. I can never get an overreaction from that lady.
"C'mon Monty, you know Grands. She always does whatever she wants. You must have gotten used to it by now." My brother says while putting a hand in my head petting it. "We all know how she is" he finished saying with a melancholic tone in his voice.
Grand use to travel a lot in her younger days for her work. Now that she is retired, she still travels a lot but we don't really know why or even where most of the times. We know she travels around the world only because of the few times she sends postcards of the different places she goes and the quick visits she gives from time to time. From Egypt to Australia and from South America to the North pole. She always goes traveling the world without even a goodbye, one day she is eating dinner with us, the other she is gone for a year.
"C'mon everyone, is getting dark! Why are you taking so long to come over here?! Monty, could you please go already for some wood its getting cold out here!" My mom screams from the backyard where we usually make the campfire.
"Ugh, I am on my way!" I scream at my mother while I go to get my backpack and coat. "I am going alone if you don't mind," I say to my grandma while taking my phone and earphones out of my backpack and put them on while I walk towards the door and went outside and into the woods.
The sun has just hidden into the western horizon. The animals in the forest start to get ready to sleep only for the nocturnal creatures to start hunting for their food. The first star of the night is already up in the dark sky. I heard that if you are the first one to see the first star of the night your most wanted wish you had in your mind in that moment will be granted at the start of the next day. I really hope it isn't true though. I can't wait until morning to get my most wanted wish granted.
"Where the fuck am I?!" I ask out loud to no one in particular hoping for someone to answer. I was collecting dry pieces of wood for the fire but I guess that in between the complaints about my life and my music I get distracted and swerve off the path because I didn't recognize where I was.
"Great, I have no signal in here, damn Verizon. GPS isn't working either" I say walking and looking at my phone trying to get it to work. Since I have memory, I always use this forest as my playground, I should have known it as the palm of my hand but….
"Hmm?... HAAAAAAA!" I scream well I was falling down a hill that was hidden between some bushes. The sudden falling makes me lose the firewood I was caring as well as my phone I was using as a lantern.
"Ugh, dammit," I say as I examined my right leg where I can see a small blood stain. I also have some bruise and cuts all over the rest of my body but nothing too serious. "Ouch!... *sigh * Luckily I have a first aid kit in my backpack, wait? where is my phone?"
While looking for my phone I examine where exactly I have fallen. Apparently, I didn't fall from a hill, it was a hole in the ground. Deep enough to hide a tree and It was full of vegetation and vines covering the sides. "That's why I didn't see it." I thought to myself blaming the vegetation more than me.
Expecting carefully my surroundings, I see the light of my phone stuck in between some branches and vines on the ground all the way on the other extreme of the hole. "How the heck did it goes all the way there?"
I walk towards it and stand on my knees trying to reach it from the ground but I move back when I feel pain going through one of my fingers."Ouch! what a sharp piece of wood" I say while liking the cut in my finger.
I suddenly stop all my movements when I notice the low sound of breathing from something near me." Ho please let that be a squirrel " I pray.
My blood gets cold as I notice the sharp branches that were holding my phone, or should I say claws dragging my phone into the darkness. A big silhouette caught my eyes as well as a pair of yellow glowing eyes with no pupils from behind some vines on the wall It seems that the vines were hiding some sort of cave or a tunnel from where this creature glares at me.
I took slow steps back trying to run from the beast but the only thing I accomplish was cornering myself into the limits of the hole. The walls were too slippy to have a good grasp on it and the vines break easily with my weight if I try to use them to climb. Now I was between the rock and a hard place.
"Oooooowhoo!"
I heard the howling of the beast taking steps towards me. It is then that I finally could see the creature. Its sharp fangs and big size tell me it is not a friendly creature of the forest. The big dog with no fur was getting close get out of the shadow and is seeing thanks to the pale light of the moon. The strange but intimidating wolf was reaching out to me but I didn't give it enough time to do whatever he was planning to do with me. No, before that I let out a loud scream, a scream that probably was in a very high-pitch for a human male to be able to make.
But regardless of that, it seems that the scream took the wolf by surprise because it moves back banishing between the darkness of the tunnel. But not before I notice a small grim on the creatures face and the sound of a subtle laugh echoing in the tunnel.
"Di-did that wolf just laughs at me? " I thought. Shaking my head I try to push the strange thought of a smiling dog out of my mind. "I have to get out of here and quick," I say as I took my backpack from the ground ready to try to climb up once more. But before leaving, an unsettling feeling pass through my head. You need a quick pick from the tunnel, You need to see what is in there.
"No, I can't. What if the wolf comes back" I say out loud trying to convince myself. But the more I think about it, the more I want it to take a look. Something in my guts is screaming at me to do it.
With my curiosity winning over my sense of self-preservation I move the vines blocking the tunnel and took a pick into the dark cave.
"Here dear, you can use this"
"No thanks, I have a flashlight I think," I say as a hand retires a lighted torch in front of me.
"Let's go then. Let's see where this tunnel leads to. You wouldn't let an old woman go alone through this tunnel, would you?" My grandma says as she took a step forward into the tunnel with a torch made up of wood and a rope of some sort around the piece of wood taking a step inside.
"GRAND! Where? What? How did you…?" I say in surprise to my grandma who was already relative far into the tunnel." W-wait, Wait for me!"
As I enter the tunnel I grab my phone that was a drag before by that thing only to find out it was broken. The screen has a small scratch and when I watch the screen I see that it was glitching showing random times and dates while making a hissing sound so I decided to turn it off for the moment. "Ho no this is my third phone this year, mom is going to kill me."
Puting the phone into my backpack I see my grandma with the torch not so far from me."How do you find me?" I say finally reaching up to her, for an old lady she walks fast.
"I hear a woman screaming so a went to check it out and found you, how about you? How you end it up in here?" Grand says while she keeps walking with her walking stick.
"Huu?... Ho! Yea right I-I hear the woman too hehe" I lied scratching the back of my head while trying to avoid eye contact and the blushing of my face. "I hear the scream and went to check it out too. But what are you doing in the middle of the forest? in the middle of the night for that matter?"
"Well, isn't that obvious Jimmy? I was looking for you. We get worried when you didn't come back. After a few hours, I come looking for you."
"Ho! And where did you get the torch?"
"But from my purse of, course" Grands say tapping with her fingers the big old lady purse in her hands. "I never get out with some torch fuel and a lighter in hand Sweaty. What I have always told you?"
"That you should always be prepared for anything," I say rolling my eyes in annoyance. Telling the truth, she is the reason I have my backpack with a med kit with me at the first place, but to be prepared with the materials needed for a torch. Grandma is hardcore.
"Exactly Jimmy, I had thought you well"
"Grands, for the last time I am not Jim-"
"Shuu, Jimmy do you hear that?" Grands ask interrupting me. I stay quiet while listening, that's how I was able to hear the sound of drops of water falling. And not only that, I smell humidity in the air, the smell of dirt recently getting wet.
"Is it... raining? But I didn't see any clouds in the sky when we enter" I say while finally noticing something strange with the tunnel. I couldn't see the moonlight in the entrance from where we enter the tunnel. Even though the entrance was cover in veins, I was still able to see the pale light of the night through it but now I just see pitch black.
"I think it comes from the other side of the tunnel, c'mon Jimmy," Grandma says increasing the velocity of her walking.
"Wait, Grand. I think we should go back. There is something strange in here and I don't like it." I say in vain as my grandmother walks out of the end of the tunnel.
The other side of the tunnel was cover in vines like the other side. But where the other side was inside a hole, this end was on top of a mountain. And, as we thought, it was raining. We were still in the forest, I can still see the trees but something was odd about it. It didn't feel the same.
"Grand, I don't like it in here we better go back, I satisfy my curiosity already. Let's just go home should we?" I say ready to get back into the tunnel.
"Jimmy! Where is your sense of adventure, let's explore a little bit more. We could find something interesting." The old lady says walking into the forest with me behind her.
"Something interesting? What can we even find in a forest that will be even remotely in-ter-est-ing?" I say with my words cutting off as I see what it was in front of me. We have walked reaching the edge of the mountain where we were able to see a big castle in ruins. The old castle was a few kilometers from where we were standing which was strange since I don't recall ever hearing about a castle being around this place. Did we really move that far from the cabin?
"Wait, Why is that a cast~ Wait? why are we on the top of a mountain?! How in heavens do we get here? We were at ground level when we enter the tunnel and we walk in a straight line. Why the fuck is there a castle here and why I never see it before" I say freaking out watching desperately at my surroundings trying to find an explanation to all of this.
"Jimmy, watch your language, also I think there are bigger problems to be concerned with."
"What could be more important than this," I say moving both hands and pointing at the castle in emphasis. There is when I notice, the feeling of something watching us from the shadow of the forest and the sound of branches breaking.
The howling combined with the sound of thunder in the sky makes my legs to sake as I slump down into the ground. The approaching of shadowing figures coming out of the forest make my blood ice cold once again as I recognize those shadowy figures."Of course, there are more. Wolfs always hunts in packs"
"Ho, but these aren't ordinary wolfs, deer," Grand says with her unchanged trembling voice looking everywhere at her surroundings;
I didn't think twice of what my grandma means by that. As soon as the wolfs come out of the shadows I realize that what I have in front of me wasn't natural.
"Are they..... made up of w-wood?" But I didn't have time for an answer as one of those wolfs jumps right at us.
" Ho CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAPPPPPPP!"
Me, the Ponies and my Grandma
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I scream at the full force of my lungs as the sensation of free falling fills me up.
What I wanted for this vacations was to not be bothered about school or my family, to relax on my couch with my video games and friends. Maybe revealing my feelings to Martha. Who knows? Maybe she will accept them and be my girlfriend. I start to remember things about my past. My first skateboard, my first real friend, the times I cry at home and on my old school. Grandma lessons and how hard were them. So, no remembering the past isn't a good sign. Is it?
"HAAAA! phoo!...Ough" The sudden stop from my fall as well as the feel of the air escaping my lungs interrupt me from my thoughts. The desperate attempt to gasp for air makes me cough uncontrollably.
"Ho my god" *Cough* *Cough* "Am-am I still alive?" *Cough* I attempt to say scratching my eyes and looking at my surroundings. That is when I realize the real reason of my coughing, the air was full of some sort of yellowish dust all around me. When I look what has stopped my falling I comprehend what that yellow dust was. I was on top of a big yellow mushroom with black dots. It was big enough to be compared to a queen-sized bed.
"Ewww, I am full of mushroom semen. haha, shroom semen." I say remembering biology class and how my friends and I laugh at that a particular lesson." I remember the day like it was yesterday. We were at summer school and it was pretty hot outside. The air conditioner of all the classroom was turn off to save energy. One of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Jackez was teaching us about how mushrooms reprod- "*Slap* I hit myself in the cheeks with both hands. " What the heck am I thinking. Focus man, focus . Ho no, Grandma?" I ask at loud finally realizing in the situation I was.
"Grand? Grand where are you?!" My grandma shushes me from behind a tree cleaning out leafs from her grayish hair and letting me know that she was ok.
"Thank god...wait?...What the fuck was that!" I say remembering how Grand push me back with her walking stick seconds before one of those wooden wolves takes a chunk of my trout. " Don't you think you could have warned me abou- Ouch!!!!" I scream as a sudden hit in my head stop me.
"I have to talk to your mom about this lenguage of yours. But first, let get out of here and fast. They are still around" She says looking around.
"Ok Grand. First: Ouch!. Second: the wolves are up there. I really doubt they can do anything right now." I say pointing up with a finger where we can see the wolves staring at us from above while walking in circles around the edge. "And third:...... Please don't tell my mother"
Grand was about to say something only to be interrupted by the loud howling of one of the wolves, so loud that we needed to cover our ears. Seconds later we see how some of those creatures jump out the cliff only to crash on the ground turning them into pieces of timber. "Hey Timberwolf that's how we should call them, it has a good ring to it " I thought.
"Jimmy, stay close to me, quick," she says picking up some dry wood from the ground. That's when I finally know why grandma was so nervous, pieces of timber were slowly moving by its own and regroup to form its previous canine form. One by one starts standing up and growling at us with a thirst for blood.
*shis**shis* I hear behind me the sound of a lighter trying to light followed by the bright light of a torch in Grand hands. As soon as the fire was up the beast takes steps back fearing for their lives. One didn't need to be a genius to figure out why fire + living wood creature = bad... for them.
But the small torch wasn't enough, the wolves stop at the sight of the torch in its head but without taking a step back. It's a larger number overwhelm us. When we put the fire close to one, three more take its place and little by little they were surrounding us with no way of running out.
"Grand, can't you do something else?" I ask with my grandmother behind me and extending my hands in defense position.
"Sorry, I only have the fuel to make one torch more and I don't think it will help a lot deer." She says while shielding us from the wolves by moving the torch from left to right at the creatures face forcing us to take steps back.
"That is not exactly what I mean but that it is good to know too, I guess." The Timberwolves were slowly surrounding us with its thirst for blood more noticeable than ever as they get closer and closer.
"You need to help me. Jimmy take care of them one by one. I will keep you safe from the majority of them you just worry of only for one of them. I have your back." She says winking at me with a confident smile.
"What!!!" I exclaim looking at the unchanged face of grand trying to find out if that was just a cruel joke before our inevitable demise or if she was serious about it "God dammit I never know what is in her mind "
"Ready Jimmy here comes one," Grand says while I see one of those wolfs trying to take a bite at my face.
"Wait no, no no no. what I am supposed to~" Everything moves in slow motion as I look at the wooden wolf open its fangs near my throat, there is when my instinct kick in. Making a step forwards I place myself at the side of that thing avoiding the bite from her sharp wood fangs and before he has time to react at my sudden movement I fix my pose and raise my fist followed by a close punch to the solid piece of timber that made up its torso breaking it in half.
The torso seems to be the creature's weak point because as soon as I break it, the wolf implodes sending the remindings of its body parts all over the forest.
"Good job Jimmy. I see you keep with the lessons I ask you to do"
"OUCH OUCH OUCH!" I say moving my hand trying to ease the pain with tears in my eyes."How do I even do that? " My grandma seems happy to have thought me self-defense, at least at first, Later on, when she leaves as she usually does, she sends an old lady that grow up in China who says that was an old friend of hers to keep teaching me a mix of different martial arts as well as a rigorous workout program. I wonder if she will get mad finding out I leave her lessons early. At least I didn't leave before I learn how to break pieces of wood boards with my beard hand, it is a cool party trick.
The sudden implosion of one of his comrades didn't seem to affect the wolves as they keep chasing us. We were like this for a few minutes. I, breaking the wolves torso one by one and my Grand in my back scaring the rest with the torch. But we, at least I, couldn't do this for much longer. My right hand was beginning to go numb and to get swollen.
"Oh God, we are going to die! We are going to die!" I say finally crying as I saw more green eyes coming out from the dark of the forest." Grand, I can't do this anymore, more and more of those things keep coming. Do something"
"Yes, It seems that that last howl was a call for more of its pack." She says holding me closer with his free arm struggling with the Timberwolves with the other.
A loud thunder was heard in the night's sky reminding us that it was still raining. The loud noise was followed by larger drops of water falling down the sky. Now with this and the fact that the torch was lit for almost an hour makes me fear that the fire, the only thing that stops those creatures to rip our heads off with a bite, will die soon.
"Jimmy I saw what it seems a town near that path just follow it and you should be safe." Grand then hands me the rest a fuel for a fire, it was a can with a special gel that easy burns. She uses some of the gel to start the torch but she still needs some rope or something. she also gives me a lighter, a silver metal lighter with stars design in it and the initials J. H. inscribed.
"Here, take this and don't move" I didn't have time to process what she meant as Grand takes out a whistle and blow it without making any sound. But that it didn't seem the same for the Timberwolves as the whistle make them paralyzed for a few seconds. The green glow of his eyes no longer there. Their entire body shakes, each part of their wooden bodies moves independently of each other making a sound of wood against wood.
At the same time as that happens. Grand put herself on the left side of me and extend her left arm putting it so it touches my throat. Then she uses her right foot to push forward one of my own foot. The simple motion makes me fall in my back hurting my head as well as covering myself with mud."I think she finds out I skip my training " She then grabs a bush nearby and with one hand she takes it off from the ground with roots and all. (Don't ask me how she did it because I don't know either.) and put it on top of me as an attempt of camouflage.
While I was in the mud trying to recover from the buzzing in my ears caused by the hit in my head, Grand was already behind the wolves. She runs back into the forest bringing the attention of all the wolves who were there and go chase up to her living me alone.
After a while, when finally my heart stops its crazy beating and I gather enough energy to stand up and look at the direction from where my Grand went. "Well, that's a pity but it will not be missed," I say while taking a quick look at myself. My cuts and bruises were all covered in mud and vegetation and when I try to take my first step, I feel pain from my leg from where I previously fall into the hole. "Seriously! after all this, that is where I get more hurt. " Of course, at that moment my right hand was completely numb so no pain at all was coming from it.
Fearing for an infection I seat near a tree which leaves gives some decent protection from the rain. I took my first aid kit from my backpack and opened. It was full of bandages of all sizes and shapes, scissors, gloves eyes washes and more. I take out the disinfectant cream and use it on my leg that was the one in the worst state.
"Aaaaa, shit!! If I knew this will hurt that much I wouldn't have done that, this burns a lot" I say putting the cream back thinking that the other cuts can wait for the moment.
The lighting follows by the loud thunder could be still heard but with less frequency now. At some point, the lightning emitted enough light so I was able to see houses at the distance."The town Grands told me. How far am I from my cabin?"
Traying to walk towards the town, a strange feeling passes over my head once again. A feeling to tell me that I need to stay low and jump forward. Obeying my instincts, I oblige to this sensation rolling on the ground making me crash with a nearby tree. With my legs up in the air I saw that claw was where my head use to be. I even feel how those claws cut some of my hair."How the hell does a piece of wood can get so sharp? ".
I stand up and start running towards the town without looking back but I still could hear the sound of its footsteps on the muddy ground of the forest and the sound of breathing in my neck. Running as fast as I can, I didn't notice one of the roots from one of the trees in front of me was poking out of the ground, not until I face the floor once again.
I knew that I will not be able to stand up and start running again before it catches me and I can't hit it like I did with the others, no with the conditions my right hand was and it was impossible to do it with my left one, I don't have enough force or training to pull something like that with my opposite hand.
"Ho crap, think, think what my grandma will do? Grand!" I exclaim putting my good hand into the pocket of my coat. With the creature at mere inches of me and me on the ground, I kick its wooden chin stunting it for a few seconds. Enough time to throw the can with the fire fuel at it. The creature catches the can and crushes it with its fangs making its content to leak all over its face."Perfect" I say with the lighter already lit in my hand throwing it.
Even with the rain, the fire catches very easy burning the monster face with green flames. The wood wolf just moves its head up and down and jumps like a bull with a cowboy on its back trying to put the fire out. The last thing I saw was it disappearing into the deeps of the forest.
While I was still on the ground trying to calm my heart once again from the fast heartbeat a stare at the clouds. While I saw the night sky, I see what could be the biggest bird I ever see in my life. If I have to judge it by how far I think they were from me, I will say that they were at the size of a big dog, of those dogs that a kid could ride or maybe of a small horse.
I keep staring at the group of big birds that start flying towards the direction of the town." Ho!, that cloud looks like an elephant, hahaha funny" I laugh at myself. "Jesus! I think I have a concution " I thought finally coming back into the real world. "I need to find help," I say finally walking towards the town.
Me, the Ponies and my Grandma
I follow a path that leads me to the end of the forest with no sign of any danger. My body has cooled down allowing me to feel all the injuries I've collected so far. I find the need to walk with the aid of a stick I find laying around. Following the path, I stop at the view of a house near the edge of the forest away from the rest of the town.
The house has its roof full of grass and bushes. Near the house, there is a small lake with animals living in there and all around hanging was nothing but birdhouses. At the back, I can see and smell a chicken coop. Around the house there where all sorts of animals, ducks, birds, butterflies, bunnies, chickens and more. All sort of animals lives in this ecosystem of a house."I bet who lives there is an old lady who never gets married "
I walk slowly through a small bridge that passes through the body of water. As I walk, all the creatures in my surroundings run away from me. All but a small white bunny who stand between me and the door.
"Hello little guy, is your caretaker here? I really need to use his, or her phone," I say to the little animal pretending he was going to answer me. We stand in front of each other for a while, and the more I look at it, the more I feel like if he was mad at me or something. I think I even see a mocking smile on its face.
"O....k? I am going to knock at the door now if you don't mind," I say getting closer to the door to knock it when all of the sudden I feel a pinch of pain in my shin that makes my jump away."OUCH! Dammit! I am going to kill that little bastard" I scream. With nothing else I could find, I throw the stick I was using to help me walk but the little rat jumps away and dodges it making the stick to bounce off from a rock directly into a window breaking it. "Oh... today is not my day " As everything happens I heard a small 'yep' and the sound of running on wood floor from inside the house.
"Sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I promise I will pay for the window but I really need to use your phone. I had the craziest night and I need to call my parents and maybe the pol.....ice" I say while I see the silhouette of something running away towards the small town from the back of the house. "Perfect, I scare... whoever that was."
Since I was so tired mentally and physically, I didn't want to go after him or her. I guess that I will apology later but now I need a phone. Guessing that the owner of the house lives alone I open the door slowly. For some reason, the door of the house was split in two, the downside and the upside which is the side I open first allowing me to see the inside of the house. It was dark but still, I could see some of the furniture and a stone oven in the living room.
"What is this? an Amish town or something? All the furniture seems old fashion." The one thing that stuck out the most was a big furniture in form of a ball of fur in the middle of the leaving room. As I keep staring at the ball of fur I detected small breathing movements from it. What a shock was when the "ball" turns and let it see his sharp claws and fangs when yawning as its snoring becomes more evident.
"Nope. I had enough with the wood-wolves thankyou Maybe the owner of the house didn't run because of me after all " I say silently as I slowly closed the door and turn around walking towards the town not before I stare at the bunny who bite me before, "And you, little ball of fur, you will pay for this later". For some reason, I feel the stare of the white rat gives me back with a smirk on his face that says something along the lines of 'whenever you want bitch'.
The way to the town wasn't too far from the grizzly infested house. I just need it to walk a small stone bridge and I was practically there. I wasn't able to see the owner of the house but I guess she runs because of the bear in the living room and went to get some help, but a small warning should be good but maybe the owner simply didn't see me there. I will be shocked too if a bear enters my house.
"Welcome to Ponyville ha, Ponyville? Really? What a weird name." I say while reading the big wood arch at the entrance of the little town. "But what an old fashion town it is." All the houses were from a different era of time, I never see houses like these before but in movies and books.
"Hello!!!!!!! Is anybody there!!!!" I scream out loud at the empty streets of the town. Walking through a few streets I could see some shopping bags on the floor along with some other stuff. "Hellooooo!!!" I scream louder as I get closer to one house to see through a window to check if there was anybody there... nothing. Not even a hint of movement.
"Ok, this is starting to scare me out. HELLO!!!! CAN SOMEONE COME OUT PLEASE? I AM LOST AND I AM REALLY... HUNGRY." I don't know why I say the hungry part but at seeing a near apple stand I couldn't help it. Getting closing, I look at one apple and grab it to munch on it. "Don't worry I will pay!!" I say out loud with my mouth full of apple, more for myself, I was trying to convince myself that what I was doing wasn't stilling.
It was then that I hear the slamming of a door close to me. I quickly eat the apple and run towards the sound. I didn't even notice the pain and fatigue in my body, I just wanted some answers and someone to help me. Is there that I see a strange building with the looks of a gingerbread house.
*Knock-knock knock*" Hello? Is anybody there?
"Quick Hide. It is outside" I hear whispers saying inside the house.
"Ok, that's it!! I am seeking tired of this!!. I had a really bad day to not only you try to play hide and sick with me but also you dare to call me 'it'" I say angrily as I try with all my strength to knock the door down. An overwhelming feeling of energy clouded my mind as I try to kick the door with my injured knee. I didn't care.
When finally the door got loose. What I could see was something new for me, I was staying still speechless when I see a strange pink creature standing in four hooves with a pink poofy hair smiling and staring at me with her blue eyes.
"Here I have a surprise for you" I get surprised even more when the strange creature spoke my language. I was so surprised by it that I didn't even notice the big canon next to her nor I notice when it graves with her hoof a small rope attach to the canon.
"And please, GET OUT OF MR. AND MRS. CAKE HOUSE!!!!" The creature screams out loud pulling the rope followed by an explosion of streamers and confetti shooted at my by the canon.
"What the hell ....blaa *cough* ... was that," I say stumbling back trying to hold the puke back as the pieces of paper were deep inside my throat.
"Hey what tha... *bonk* I try to say but something else attacks me from my left as the sound of something whooshing through the air was heard follow by a "Take that!" of a female raspy voice.
The hit pushes me a few meters as the sensation of my adventure so far were painfully back. "Haa why in the hell is everything trying to kill me today," I say angrily looking at the culprit.
"Yea Rainbow, take that monster down!!!" I hear the voice of the puffy equine on the house sheering her. I stare angrily at the blue horse with wings and multicolor mane.
"So, would you give up peacefully or I have to make you?" The pegasus says to me.
"Ho, You wanna dance, I am going to dance Skittles," I say trying to intimidate her to leave me alone. My injuries were bad and I shouldn't do this but my pride and anger overcome my judgment. "No one hit me without at least an apology " I start running towards that creature until something hold my arms and keep them close to my sides.
"Oh-oo, No you won't." I hear a heavy country accent from a girl before a lasso graves me. Looking where the sound was coming from, I saw another of those strange creatures but this time an orange one without wings like the pink one. It was using her tail as an arm to hold the rope and her mouth to pull me to her. "No pony. And Ah mean no pony steal my apples and get away with it"
The little horse was stronger than she looks, for much I was struggling I couldn't help it but slowly coming to her as she was pulling me. I could see that next to her were a group of other of its kind saying things between each other but I could make up what.
"Ok, you want me to come. I will come" I say as I try with all my strength to pull one last time. Somehow, I was able to pull the horse to my side of the rope for a second making her stumble a little but she quickly pulls back harder with her mouth but that was all part of the plan. When she pulls, instead of pulling back I run towards her. It helps me gain momentum making me able to do a big jump and take out my good knee ready to strike the creature in the face.
But as I was getting closer, I look in her eyes. For a quick moment, I manage to see her more clearly, her blond hair, her green eyes, her freckles and her look of scared when she saw me rapidly closing in. I couldn't do it. I simply couldn't. At the last moment, I retracted my knee and use my other leg to change my direction a little making me fall and rolling at her right side at mare centimeters to hit her. Doing that was very bad for me, I was moving faster than I could control. I was only able to stop when my face meets a wall of a nearby house.
"What in tarnation?" It was the last thing I heard from that mare. My ears were buzzing, my nose was bleeding, I was seeing stars and I was pretty sure my leg wasn't supposed to bend like that. The group of horses gets together around the orange. My leg was killing me and I was seeing blurry. I feel like I was about to lose conscience. But even if all of that was happening to me, I try to stand up because my pride was stronger than my sense of self-preservation, I didn't t want to admit my defeat.
Supporting my self with my no-so-good-but-better-than-the-other leg and with a hand on the wall I scream at them. "And there is more where it comes from" I really wasn't well. My fuzzy eyesight wasn't able to detect figures, only colors at this point and I swear I saw another purple figure that wasn't there before closing into me. But before I try to scream "back off" A bright light followed by the sensation of something hard and cold surrounded my body.
"Am-am I dead ?" I thought since I wasn't even able to move my jaw. The cold material surrounding me was stuck to my body and I wasn't able to move one inch. Figuring out that the fuzziness I was seeing wasn't only from my concussion in my head but from the thing around me. I closing my eyes waiting for a miracle.
Time pass for what I believe where hours but it could just as well be seconds as a strange tingling sensation pass through my broken leg. "Hahahaha" I start laughing, the tickle was now spreading through all parts of my body without noticing that I was able to move.
When the realization that I could move hit me, I use my arms and legs to break what was confining me. With a loud Crack I free myself still laughing for the strange tickling sensation. "I - I feel amazing hahaha!!!" I scream jumping in my used-to-be broken leg. All my injuries, even the swollen hand, was cured and I feel a great amount of adrenaline passing through my veins.
"Quick!!! Seized it before it hurt anypony" One of the horses who have a horn and a wing scream follow up by the orange one, the pink one, and the prismatic hair one getting ready taking a pose like wanting to tackle me along with the purple one that just screams and where just staring and a new equine with pinkish purple color and a horn that was light up.
Sensing the immediate danger, I look around seeing some flower pots and start throwing them at the pastel color horses. Many of the creatures were dodging them. Some others I managing to strike them in the head causing them to clean the soil from there eyes. Taking the opportunity, I grab the rope, that was still around my wrist somehow, and run towards the orange one, she owes me one.
I take advantage that she wasn't able to see to tie her legs together enable her to move. It was hard but I was able to manage it.
"Ha-what? You?.... You Ah retract everything ah said about you!!!!" She said all angry at me trying to free herself.
"Hey!!! Leave her alone!!!" The one with wings says approaching at high speed at me from the sky.
"Hey" I scream back. "Catch!" I say raising the immobile creature above my head. She quickly understood what I was about to do. Waiting for her to take a pose better to catch, I throw her into the pegasus. She catches her but the weight seems too much for her and she slowly hit the ground with her back.
"Ok, who is ne - eee...?" I try to say as I duck an incoming projectile I feel approaching from my back. I see the pink horse using her canon to throw some kind of pink mass like cake at me. "What? It is cake with frosting" I say out loud as some of it splash at my mouth. I quickly hide behind some tree because even though it was just cake, it will still probably hurt since it was thrown from a canon.
"Yes Pinkie. get it distracted I will I try to crystalize it again." The one with horn says as the pink puffy one maintain throwing her pastries at me with a big smile."I can see she is really enjoying this " She was at the complete opposite side of the unicorn having me in the middle. Her horn starts glowing like if she was about to throw a big attack at me.
"Fuck it," I say as I run towards the canon. "I prefer death by cake than death by laser beam" I use my jacket as some sort of shield but it didn't last long towards the creamy bullets. I try my best at dodging and rolling but I couldn;t help it but to get hit two or three times. Have you ever had a food fight with cake? and have you ever been hit in the face with one? It steals hours now multiply that by a hundred. That is exactly what I fell in my arm when one hit me there. I almost fall off, Luckily it seems the pink menace had run pit of ammunition. She stops shooting for a few seconds allowing me to to get closer. As I was running, I could see how she had put a wedding cake size onto the canon... somehow. It seems that she underestimate my speed because she notices I was closing in but she keep loading the canon regardless. When the canon finally was loaded it was too late. I get on the tip of the canon and kick it upwards as hard as I could making it turn around to aim at her at close range. " Take a taste of your own cake" Isay pulling the string that ignites the shoot, The shoot sends her flying in the air with the big pink wedding cake around her. I only hear how she scream as she was flaying.upwards.
"Pinkie!!!!" The other scream as it seems her attack was finally charged. With an angry expression, a laser quickly shot from her horn. I couldn't react fast enough to dodge it so I use my hand as a shield. "HAHA stop. It tickles" I say as the same sensation I had felt before was around my hand but stronger. I couldn't stop laughing, It was a strange sensation. I open my eyes and see that at the sides of my hand, some sort of glass was growing quickly. Fearing it could be dangerous, I run towards the culprit and I try to grab her horn so maybe she will stop the laser. But as soon as it has hold of it, a small explosion was heard, and I didn't know what happens next but I could she was thrown backward into some bushes.
I quickly shake my hand trying to get rid of the glass around my hand. When no glass was longer in there I look around to see who was still standing. I could see most of my opponents weren't standing up, one tied up, other stuck in a tree struggling to get out from a cake and other semi-unconscious on a bush. I could see that some of the horses that were with the others weren't there. The only still standing in her four hooves was the rainbow hair one and the one with a horn and wings.
"So you are next?" I say smiling at the skittles hair as she was looking at me with a smug smile, I hate to admit but I was enjoying this, I wasn't an aggressive kid when I was younger, I didn't get into any real fight but I am an adrenaline junkie. I did everything skating, paintball war, mountain biking, and from bungee jumping to parachute jumping. The luxury to have parents with money. And so far there wasn't anything that makes pumping the blood of my hart as fast as fighting and winning for my life.
I turn around to face my next opponent with a smile, With my blood pumping faster than I ever felt before, I see how she was scratching the ground with her hoof ready to ramming at me. I was doing the same. We stay still waiting for any kind of sign to attack.
"Rainbow Wait!!" And there we go. We heard a scream and we started to run into each other giving our best war cry ready to strike each other. We look at each other eyes screaming, seeing how little by little we were about to crash. I rise a hand making a fist. she seems like she was ready to do a headbutt "I am going to punch that skull of hers " I thought getting closer and closer until we get so close that I close my eyes waiting for the hit to appear. "Wait, stop!!!!!" A female voice scream as we fill the hit. *Whomp *
