Chapter 1: Introduction

12/4/2018 /12:30PM/ Canterbury/UK

"Wake up!" I quickly sat upright to meet the eyes of my maths teacher, Mrs Rowen "this is the second time I've had to wake you up this term, how many times must I say this, go to sleep at an earlier time, maths is too important for you to miss out on" I sighed as the class let out a roar of laughter, mainly from my friends occupying the seats next to me.

I rubbed my eyes "I'll be sure to keep that in mind when I'm not too busy finishing coursework" I yawned sarcastically quickly checking the clock it was 12:33PM which meant it was nearly time for lunch, I swiftly unzipped my bag and rushed to put my equipment in, but before I could finish packing away the teacher stopped me, yet again.

"Aaron, if you don't take your education seriously I'll have to put you in after school revision sessions with your friend Adrian" I grumbled at this, and packed up, as the bell suddenly started to ring, signalling the start of lunch the teacher shouted in an old, emotionless, dull voice "remember your exams are in three weeks, remember to revise using your books" as me and my friends immediately exited her class we made our way through the school navigating around the crowd of slow walking people, until we arrived at our usual hang out spot, a small corner on the field covered in bushes and trees, we sat down and started to unwind from the tension of exams and classes.

"I hate that teacher, she's gonna be the death of me I swear" I groaned as I unpacked my peanut butter sandwiches and, started to feast on them as if I was a starving animal, as I said this Adrian looked at me with a big toothy grin.

"You have a thing with getting yourself into trouble don't you" he chuckled, while pulling out a protein bar out from his bag

"No, it's just that I'm an unlucky individual, who gets picked on" I stated, before my other friend Monu joined the conversation looking at me with a doubtful stare.

"What about when you got drunk on presentation evening, when you were meant to be serving drinks, not drinking them yourself and, then passing out, like an idiot" Monu said with a smirk. Adrian chuckled at this as he then began chugging down a bottle of Mountain Dew.

"Like I said, I was bored and, wanted to entertain myself and, pretending to be drunk was a good way to start" I responded now eating a bag of walkers, lastly Alex joined in looking at me amusement plastered over his face.

"I'm not sure about that Aaron, you did, kinda pass out in front of the school, on the lawn" Alex said doubt clearly in his voice, I turned to him with a scowl in my face.

"Shut up Alex, you're just an imperialist!" I responded, as I said this, I started an argument between my three friends, I took this opportunity to zone out, and reflect upon the year.

Adrian was the smallest of us all, but was by far the most competitive, immature and is downright obnoxious, however his attitude towards life, and the situations he finds himself in, makes him appear as the joker of our gang of misfits, usually wearing a plain white T-shirt with black shorts.

I then turned my attention to Alex, who Was lanky, and always had long, curly hair, and refused to get it cut out of fear of getting roasted, he often wore a simple button up shirt, with tracksuit bottoms, however he was quiet, and would always listen and, help people, if he was able to, when his shyness didn't get in the way, however he was also a coward and, didn't like fighting, unless it was someone weaker then him, like his weaker younger brother.

Monu was the largest of the group, and could always be found wearing shorts and hoodies with neon nike shoes, and was also a loudmouth, who couldn't be quiet to save his life, he would always find a way to start an argument, by insulting someone, usually by insulting their intelligence, although ironically he isn't smart himself, as he tended to forget essential information or items, such as money, or his USB stick, however he makes up for this, with his unpredictable and random behaviour.

As I focused back on the conversation my friends was having I groaned as I heard them talking about league of legends "I'm such a beast when I play vayne I could easily take all three of you on!" Adrian said confidently I rolled my eyes at this.

"Did you forget that I only own a PS4 and some garbage laptop even if I had something good to run it on I don't like MOBAs" I said beginning to lay on my back " and besides I'm not getting into the whole PC vs console thing right now I'm too relaxed" I stared at the clear bright blue sky.

"PC is still superior either way" Adrian said dismissively "Monu how long is it until lunch ends?" Monu reached for his phone and lazily clicked the home button.

"Five minutes we should probably start packing up so we can get our seats before someone else takes them" Monu said already standing up with his bag on his back Adrian started to do the same with a sense of urgency.

"Oi are you two coming?" Adrian asked curiously looking at me and Alex who were still lounging around on the grass I waved a hand at him calmly.

"Nah I'll catch up with you shortly I wanna relax for another five minutes" I said content with my spot as Alex agreed to stay longer as well watching Monu and Adrian walk swiftly towards the computing department a small four room building overlooking the field Alex looked at me with depressed expression.

"We've been here for such a long time and we've gotten to know so many people it's to have to leave soon it feels just like yesterday we were experiencing our first day here and now six years later we're leaving" he sighed rubbing he's eyes I sat up.

"Yea and it feels like we only just met a week ago but life goes on and all that crap" I said remembering all the good and bad things that have happened over the last few years "but yea I think I'll miss it as well strangly but we've got university life to look forward to soon hopefully" I stood up stretching my legs " we should probably get moving it'll take a few minutes to walk to class" Alex slowly got up stretching his leg he suddenly collapsed again and made a slight gasp as he recoiled his left leg in pain "what the fuck is wrong?" I said staring at him with an amused look on my face he slowly looked up at me.

"I think my leg just cramped up" he said through gritted teeth I fidgeted with my bag a bit shifting it into a more comfortable position and leaned down towards Alex.

After waiting a few more minutes I reached a hand down towards Alex "here I'll help you up" he reached up and grabbed my hand after he was feeling better we slowly made our way towards the computing department as we reached the door to the department we noticed the lack of sound besides a slow shuffling sound as me and Alex slowly made our way through the short corridor we noticed there was a small blood trail further down the hall leading around a corner I turned to Alex and whispered "what the hell do you think happened it's so quiet and that's fucking blood there someone could be hurt."

"Or worse" Alex said too shocked to say anymore I tapped him on the shoulder and signalled him to follow me, as we crept down the hall as we passed a slightly ajar door two sets of hands wrapped around me and Alex and yanked us into the closet I was about to shout when the same hand covered my mouth and I heard Monu whisper.

"Everyone is fucking dead we have to stay quiet me and Adrian saw everyone in the class and we barely hid inside this closet in time" Monu gulped as he removed his hands from my throat me and Alex turned around and I thought why do we need to be quiet if they're dead .

"Wait are you trying to say some of them are fucking zombies!?" I almost yelled he looked nervous.

"Me and Adrian saw the blood and investigated where it came from and we saw Adam ripping through Dan's neck and then a few of them nearly saw us..and we heard footsteps coming so we hid in here" Monu said grimly both Monu and Adrian looked as pale as the moon.

"Shit well we can't stay here we'll either starve or die of thirst" I said looking the three Alex looked like he was having a mental breakdown I shook him slightly "Oi are you paying attention" he appeared to be unresponsive so I gave him a small slap to the face which seemed to snap him out of it.

"I..I need to find my brother..I need to make sure he's safe" he said shaking as he made his way over to the door I blocked him and pinned him against the wall.

" listen your brother may already be dead we need to focus on how we're going to escape and find help and if you get out of this closet now you'll probably attract their attention so I can't let you go for now..we'll look for him soon".

"You can't just ask me to abandon..." He was cut off by various grunts and moans shuffling through the hallway as we heard something smash against the cheap wood they knew we were here I let go of Alex but stood close enough to make sure he couldn't rush out of the door.

"Yo guy's what the fuck are we going to do!" Adrian said clearly panicked I turned to see a three plastic mops, I started to pass the mops to Monu and Adrian while handing a small caution sign to Alex.

"How are we going to escape using these mops when there's at least five of them or more out there" Monu said shuffling backwards towards the wall.

"We have no choice We're going to have to fight they're soon going to break in if we don't fight we'll die" as the thuds grew louder I started to feel a static shock spreading through my body as I slowly fell to the floor as my vision was fading I could tell everyone else was facing the same problem "are we fucking turning" I coughed as I started to lose my vision before passing out I could only say one word "shit."

Fairfield\Pennsylvania\ Mercy hospital\9:30PM. Francis P.O.V

"I hate rooftops" I muttered as I finished climbing to the roof shortly being followed by Bill, Zoey and Louis. Louis just stared at me blankly.

"Is there anything you don't hate Francis?" Louis said as he raised an eyebrow.

"Well I hate fishes but, I like eating them to show them how much I hate them" I said casually Bill just rolled his eyes at my comment.

"Alright people the helicopter pilot said he'd be here to pick up any survivors" he reloaded his M16 "we should make sure we're alone up here" Bill said as he started moving towards the makeshift defensive structure near the back of the roof I took a moment to observe the blackened sky feeling somewhat relaxed feeling the rain drop on to my leather vest before feeling a hand grab my shoulder I instinctively pointed my shotgun at the vampire that grabbed my shoulder before realising it was Louis.

"Jeez Louis I almost blew your fucking head off I thought you were a vampire!" I almost shouted as I lowered my shotgun, Louis just stared at me with a stupid fucking smile on his face.

"They're not vampires Francis they're zombies besides we should get moving I don't feel comfortable standing around in the open like this" he said patting my back as he joined Bill and Zoey in the defensive structure in front of us I sighed and followed them the first thing I noticed was that there was a radio set up on a table to my left Bill and Zoey were focused on trying to communicate with someone, Louis was searching through the first aid cabinet and had a look of bliss on his face as he pulled out two bottles of pills as he shoved them in his pockets I decided to search the closet as I opened it and peeked inside I saw three weapons and a pile of ammunition laying besides them.

"Groovy" I said as I pulled out I desert eagle and stored it away In my holster, I then put my shotgun away in its holster as I picked up an AK-47 I turned to Louis "there's a hunting rifle in here I suggest.." I stopped as the sound of the radio coming to life distracted me as we heard a slightly distorted voice through the radio.

"Hello is anyone there repeat is anyone at mercy hospital, over" the pilot said Bill sprung to life and answered.

"Hello there's four of us on the roof of Mercy hospital and we need immediate evacuation over" Bill responded urgently the pilot shared his urgency.

"I can be there in a few minutes you just need to hold out until I can get there I'll be at the helipad shortly use the minigun on the roof if you need to, over" he said I turned around and saw a boomer slowly shambling along the roof feeling bored I pulled out my desert eagle and loaded it and thought a little target practice couldn't hurt I pointed my desert eagle at the boomer and just heard Bill scream.

"Francis no!" but it was too late and I fired the shot at the boomer causing him to explode launching guts and bile everywhere shortly afterwards we heard multiple shrieks echo from the roof as I noticed the horde of infected spilling out on to the roof. " God fucking damnit Francis"

"Oops" I said as I opened fire into the approaching horde taking down multiple infected Zoey took a pipe bomb, lit it and threw it to another area of the roof bill turned to us quickly.

"Francis!, Louis! Get on the roof and start using that minigun we've come too far to die now" bill said with a raspy breath.
I cocked my shotgun and looked at Louis.

"Come on Louis if you're going to die you might as well go out fighting" I sighed as he rolled his eyes and sprinted up the stairs leading towards the roof I shortly followed after him "Louis get on the gun I'll cover you" he nodded and began to shoot at the oncoming horde mowing down countless infected turning them into a bloody mess I turned around and saw two infected that were climbing up behind us I shot a round into one's head But before I could finish off his companion he punched me in the jaw I let out a small gasp in pain and as it tried following up its attack with a bite I used the stock of my AK and smacked him around the jaw sending teeth flying over the roof I then shot through the chest and kicked it off the roof turning back I continued firing on the infected until I heard a cry for help I turned and saw Louis being dragged away by a smoker I took aim at the smoker holding Louis and sent a bullet flying through its brain.

"Thanks Francis I knew you couldn't live without me" Louis said through small gasps for air I groaned as I sprayed some infected slowly I noticed less infected were appearing I took this opportunity to reload my weapons I leaned back on the railings I loaded the final shell into my shotgun when I started to hear a noise of a helicopter approaching "it's here!" Louis said with glee as me and Louis regrouped with Bill and Zoey downstairs,Bill turned to us.

" everybody sprint straight for the helicopter, it probably attracted every infected in the vicinity to our location no thanks to Francis" Bill glared at me I gave shrug in return "so don't stop for anything" everyone nodded as we began to sprint for the half broken helipad which the helicopter was flying next to I looked behind us and saw a barrage of infected erupting from the building we just left I continued running until I noticed there was a hunter on Bill as Bill let out a scream of pain and agony I emptied a shell point blank into the hunter's head He became lifeless as I kicked him off Bill.

"Zoey!,Louis! get Bill I'll cover you" Louis and Zoey helped Bill to his feet I continued to mow down the infected until Bill was safely in the helicopter.

"Francis get inside!" I heard Louis shout as he fired his machine gun into a group of infected as I was about to make it to the helicopter I felt the ground shake suddenly everything was in slow motion I turned to my left and saw a fucking tank just my luck I thought I tried to shoot at it but it was already too late it's large muscular fist made contact with my body and Launched me to the edge of the roof

"FRANCIS!!" Zoey,Louis and Bill said in unison as I was sent flying back from the force of the tanks punch clutching my chest in pain I looked up and saw the helicopter leaving without me as I looked up at my companions and saw rage, guilt and regret plastered over their faces as they looked down on me helplessly I stood up and spat out blood across the floor.

"Well I'm shit outta luck" I muttered feeling the rain pour over me I looked up at the sky "well I guess this is it for me I guess..I hate dying" I said venom in my voice, wincing with pain after feeling the impact of the tank's punch I heard a scream filled with rage I turned around and saw the tank bolting towards me I closed my eyes and prepared for the final blow as I felt the tanks fist make contact with my chest I was winded and was sent flying off of Mercy hospital. My life flashed before my eyes up until this final moment remembering Louis survived longer than me "ain't life a bitch" I moaned before I lost consciousness and then everything faded to black.

Westeros/ somewhere up north / the hound POV

"KILL ME!!" I yelled as Arrya began walking away from me I went to shout out again before getting interrupted by a series of coughs "shit" I muttered " I should've sold that bitch while I had the chance" feeling the wind blow through my hair I lowered my head looking at my injuries one of my leg bones were dislocated seeing the bone sticking out my flesh while also looking at the various cuts on my hands from falling down that steep rocky hill I was bleeding fast, as I felt the blood pour from my wounds my vision started to blur and as I started to black out I swear I could see a horse standing in front of me I heard a crackling sound as my vision turned to black.

Chapter 2: Lost

Aaron POV/location:???/6:45PM

As I recovered consciousness I could feel soggy soil beneath the palms of my hand remembering the events that occurred prior to losing consciousness I bolted upright and gasped for air as I made contact with something metal I opened my eyes all I saw was an older man wearing a leather vest with multiple tattoo's pointing a shotgun at me he suddenly broke the silence with a deep breath eying me curiously he said "are you infected" I was dumbfounded.

"Infected with what the flu?" I muttered sarcastically rolling my eyes he only aimed the shotgun closer to my head.

"I'm not fucking around buddy, are you or are you not infected with the green flu!" he said holding the shotgun gun point blank from my face I thought back to when me and my friends collapsed to the floor but thought it would be best not to mention that for my safety.

"No I'm feeling fine besides having a shotgun aimed point blank at my head" he cautiously lowered his shotgun and took a few steps back giving me space to get up, I stretched my back looking at my surroundings I noticed we were in an apple orchid I rubbed my head and thought how the fuck did I end up here and where the hell did my friends go...were they dead these were only some of the thoughts running through my head I turned around and saw the strange man watching me "where the hell are we? I questioned he simply shrugged.

"Fuck if I know, one minute I was about to die the next I woke up here next to you" he picked an apple off a tree and began biting away at the fruit he stopped and looked back up at me "these apples are fucking delicious you should try one" I sighed.

"Shouldn't we do something more important like search for help" I said looking at the ruby red apples hearing the sound of something hitting the floor I turned to see him discard the apple core.

"Well we could investigate that house over there" he motioned to the left I turned my head to see a barn and old country house I turned to him and nodded.

"That's a good place to start I suppose" I paused realised I haven't introduced myself "by the way I'm Aaron" I said putting my hands in the pockets of my navy blue hoodie.

"I'm Francis" he said lowering his shotgun to his side "we should probably get going it's starting to get dark and I hate being outside at night" I motioned him to follow me to the house I kneeled down and grabbed my rucksack that was discarded on the floor before beginning to walk towards the farm like structures in the distance.

As me and Francis began getting closer to the house I noticed that there were lights on which meant somebody was still home, I stopped and turned to him and said "we should probably check the windows to see if anyone is still awake" Francis nodded. we slowly and methodically moved between the trees hoping to get a good view of the interior before I cursed under my breath I tapped Francis on the arm getting his attention "we'll need to get closer to the house I can't see shit from here" I whispered he turned back to the house and pointed the porch roof.

"What if I boost you up there so you can peek through those windows" Francis said enthusiastically I shrugged.

"Sure I've got nothing else to lose" we quickly but quietly dashed out of the tree line to the side of the house next to the porch I nodded my head at Francis which in turn caused him to put his hands out as he crouched to give me a boost I clutched the side of the roof as he launched me upwards I struggled to pull myself up immediately regretting wearing my rucksack for this.

After catching my breath feeling the rough wooden porch I shuffled on my hands and knees towards the nearest window and peered in being cautious to not give myself away however when I peeked in I saw nobody I weird I thought shuffling over to the next window looking in I was shocked at what I saw a small yellow pony looking thing with a red mane with a bow placed at the top it was talking to another orange one once they finished talking the orange one shut the door the smaller one walked over to a desk and started to write something..with its mouth I froze for a second "am I hallucinating right now?" I muttered to myself pulling my phone out I checked the battery seventy nine percent, perfect I thought I turned on the camera and slowly adjusted the camera to focus on the small pony and took a picture when suddenly a loud noise erupted from my phone well crap I forgot to put it on silent I thought, I looked up at the pony to find it staring at me in horror.

We made eye contact for a few seconds before it started screaming in fear "oh shit not good" I got up and began to speed walk back to where I climbed up as I was about to slide off the roof I heard the window behind me open I quickly jumped down and crouched down Francis looked at me stunned at my sudden appearance I motioned him to crouch with me and stay quiet he gladly listened to me as I could hear movement by the window I then heard them speak.

"Whatcha ya mean you saw a monster there's nothing out there maybe you're just imagining things" I heard one say swallowing the lump in my throat I continued to listen.

"Sis I swear ah saw a pale monster outside mah window holding this flashy thing..you've got to trust me I'm not making this up!" I heard the younger one squeal in protest.

"Enough Applebloom you've got school in the morning and you need rest" the older one said I heard the younger one go to protest but was cut off "I've already checked the porch you're probably just seeing things now go to sleep" I heard a door slam and the window immediately afterwards I exhaled Francis tapped my shoulder and pointed at the barn which looked desolate I motioned him to lead the way as we approached the barn Francis carefully opened the barn door checking behind us I swear I could see a pair of eyes staring down at us from the same window I was spotted through I turned and swiftly made my way into the barn closing the door behind me.

As I turned around I noticed how dirty the floor was covered in dirt and hay Francis stood there staring at me "what the fuck happened up there man!" He said perturbed by the event that had just occurred. Feeling drained of energy I muttered.

"Once we find a place to rest I'll tell you all about it" he huffed in disappointment I chuckled as looked around for a good place to rest as I strained my eyes in the dark, I noticed a ramp leading to what I believe is a hayloft "hey Francis if I'm correct that ramp over there will lead to the hayloft where there will hopefully be hay or something comfortable to lie on so we don't have to lay on this disgusting looking floor."

"Sure lets get up there I feel like I'll pass out soon" he said tiredly shuffling towards the ramp, as we reached the top of the barn we discovered there was a wall of hay blocking us from seeing the barn door but would also stop anyone from seeing us, I took seat on some hay and yawned.

"So what do ya wanna know" I asked calmly trying to keep my eyes open he took a seat opposite me.

"Who was in the house then?" he asked seriously he contemplated telling the truth but remembered I snapped a photo as evidence I sighed.

"Well call me insane because there are weird pony looking things living in that house i only saw two of them although I'd guess there's more" I paused as he gave me a grin and a chuckle.

"Well no shit you sound crazy I seriously doubt there are talking ponies living here" I grumbled and pulled out my phone and passed him the phone showing him the picture of the pony he immediately went quiet and mumbled out "maybe you're not crazy" I took my phone back and placed it in the side pocket of my black cargo trousers.

I shifted nervously as I put my bag down next to me "this is insane, how did we end up in this situation, hiding in a barn" I facepalmed before Francis spoke.

"Well I'm not sure about you but I was about to die so maybe this is some fucked up afterlife or some shit like that" he said leaning back on a bale of hay. I immediately responded.

"No this can't be the afterlife! I was in a closet with my friends" he let a quick laugh after stopping I continued "and we thought some zombies had found us and we heard something from the door we then felt an electric shock before passing out, then I woke up to you holding a shotgun to my face so I couldn't of died, I think" I said opening my bag and grabbing my canteen which was still half full talking a quick sip I offered some to Francis but he refused I shrugged and put it back in my bag I looked back at him "so I've told you about how I woke up here, what about you..how did you end up here?" I crossed my arms he looked me in the eyes.

"Well me and my group were holding out against these vampires on the rooftop of this hospital called Mercy it was thirty floors high " I stopped him and stared at him quizzically.

"You were seriously fighting vampires?" I chuckled he rolled his eyes.

"Well no technically they were just infected with the green flu but I call them vampires any-how we were waiting to get evacuated by this helicopter it arrived but since the helipad was sort of half destroyed and we were getting swarmed by infected it had to hover next to the roof" he took a deep breath "as we were about to make it to the helicopter, a guy in our group called Bill got pinned down by a hunter instead of leaving him..I saved him even though we never got along, we always argued...but I still saved him" he paused momentarily and just spaced out I clicked my fingers in front of his face quickly getting his attention he shrugged it off and continued where he left off "after I saved him I covered him to make sure he reached the helicopter" he paused "I stupidly ran for the chopper without watching my angles so just as I reached the helicopter I got blindsided by a tank" I interrupted him.

"What the hell is a tank because the one you're talking about is probably different to the one I'm thinking about" I asked confused rubbing my head.

"They're just pure muscle on muscle, like me but on steroids the infection changed them into massive muscular infected looking things that walk sort of like gorillas, if you got hit by one you were fucked, anyway the hit caused me to land by the ledge of the building far away from any help or any safety and the pilot had to take off and basically left me for dead and I knew then and there I was going to die" he said solemnly "the tank then decided to finish me off and punched me off the building but as I was falling everything started to go black...everything else you know" he said sighing I looked at him trying to feel some form of empathy but I couldn't so I forced out.

"Sorry man that sounds rough" he looked at me with a small smile.

"Thanks" he said rubbing his neck I yawned.

"We should get some sleep I think we're going to need it" I sighed making a makeshift bed out of the piles of hay I turned to Francis who was doing the same "I guess we'll figure out our next step tomorrow." I heard him mutter something before beginning to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be an annoying day I thought getting into a comfortable position finally closing my eyes falling asleep.

Alex POV / location:??? / 6:45PM

I yawned opening my eyes I noticed I was in a bed of some kind it felt more comfortable then the one I had, I wiggled around and discovered I was tucked in, as in somebody took the time to make sure I was comfy I rotated my head to the right and saw Monu also laying in a bed in a similar way inspecting the room I was in I noticed it was incredibly small with there being three beds placed very closely together being only a few feet apart I untucked my arm and reached out to Monu and shook him awake upon awakening he had a confused look on his face "Alex where are!.." I covered his mouth quickly as I could hear footsteps from underneath us I held a finger over my lips signalling him to be quiet.

"Um I don't know I just woke up a few minutes ago" I whispered shifting in the bed.

"Well we should just get out of here" Monu said plainly, disregarding my caution he just jumped out of his bed and began walking towards the oddly small door I was quick to stop him though rushing into him with my lanky form I held him against the wall.

"What if these people are dangerous and.. Wants to hurt us" Monu stared at me before shoving me away.

"Are you fucking stupid if they wanted to hurt us by now they probably would have, and if they do want to why did they leave us unsupervised with no restraints?" He said asked folding his arms failing to come up with an argument I just sighed "that's what I thought!" Monu said I glared at him.

Suddenly we heard footsteps approaching I turned to Monu "what should we do" I asked nervously he looked at me and shrugged.

"I guess we just rush them" Monu said cluelessly before opening the door I decided to follow him as we ran through the door Monu collided with something not expecting Monu to suddenly stop I ran into him causing us and whatever he ran into to fall down the small set of stairs, groaning I stood up Monu shot up like a bullet looking at what was under him I understood why, laying down on the floor nervously curled up in a ball was a butter yellow pony with pink hair.

Me and Monu both stared at it dumbfounded at what we were seeing Monu turned to me "this can't be the thing that kidnapped us right? one it's a pony and two it looks as nervous as you when me and Adrian talk about Emily" feeling anxious I punched him in his chest.

"Don't talk about Emily!" I raised my voice Monu just laughed at me, looking around I noticed we were in a small cottage looking thing, barely big enough to live in I sniffed the air and it stunk of animals I turned my attention to the small window and noticed that we were just on the boundaries of a forest I turned to Monu "hey Monu do you think we should look for the owners of this place" before he could answer however I heard a small squeak come from below my on the floor where the pony was.

"T...t..that would be me" it squeezed out me and Monu both turned our attention to it Monu got down on one knee and said loudly almost screaming.

"Where are we!? more importantly what have you done with our friends!?" he said now physically shaking it violently causing it to cry feeling bad for Monu's behaviour I looked at Monu.

"Monu calm down you're making it anxious give it some room, bloody hell" I said shooing him back he wore a frustrated expression on his face before backing off, I returned to the pony and kneeled down "sorry about my friend he can be insensitive sometimes" she began wiping the Tears from her eyes she looked at me shaking slightly I struggled to come up with more to say "I'm Alex..this is Monu" I said pointing at Monu who gave a quick wave.

"I'm f..Fluttershy" she said quietly giving her some room to get up I took a few steps back she looked nervous..more nervous then how I am normally I thought scratching my head Monu finally spoke.

"So..Fluttershy how did we get here?" Monu said more calmly this time.

"I was just taking care of my chickens making sure they were fed for the night and then I heard a zapping sound behind me, I turned around and saw you both laying on the floor" she paused taking a deep breath "instead of leaving you outside I thought it would be kinder to take you inside where it's warm so I got my friends to bring you inside" she finished looking at the floor.

I began processing what she said when I suddenly thought about Aaron and Adrian "wait you said you only found me and Monu?" I asked she jumped from my sudden question.

"Y..yes it was only you two why?" Fluttershy asked I rubbed my head.

"Well there were four of us and I think we all blacked at out at the same time, right Monu?" Monu sat down on a nearby stool and rubbed his chin.

"Yea I noticed that we all fell to the ground and I experienced the worst headache ever" he groaned I thought hard eventually putting two and two together.

"Wouldn't that mean that they might be here somewhere too?" I asked folding my arms

"Maybe we got split up in two different places" Monu said rubbing his eyes and yawning "if that's true we should probably look for them" he said getting up walking to the front door.

"Monu we probably shouldn't, we're in a foreign land with no idea of what to do or look for" he sighed and withdrew his hand from the door.

"Well what should we do then?!" He said anxiously pacing back and forth by Fluttershy's front door "we obviously can't just live in here for the rest of our lives!" he was about to continue his rant when suddenly Fluttershy spoke.

"My friend might be able to help you, she's really talented with magic maybe she can help you" she said softly Monu responded immediately taking a few steps towards her.

"Great! should we go now?" he asked shifting nervously Fluttershy looked at the floor.

"Well it's getting kind of late so wouldn't it be nice to get some rest, I bet you both feel tired after today?" Monu was about to respond when I interrupted him.

"That sounds good, it sounds like tomorrow is going to be busy anyway " I paused for a moment "should we just sleep in the beds we were in or what? I asked

"Oh it's fine if you want to sleep in those beds they're for visitors anyway" she paused for a moment "unless you don't want to then that's fine" she said timidly.

"Sounds good I'm feeling exhausted anyway" I said slouching slightly.

"Well you two go get comfortable in bed and I'll wake you up tomorrow morning" She said gently smiling at us.

"Ok see you then" Monu said skulking out of sight back up the stairs as soon as I heard a loud thud as he presumably fell on his bed I turned to Fluttershy.

"Don't mind him he's just like that don't question it" I said rubbing my neck turning to follow Monu I heard Fluttershy say

"It's fine" she whispered I nodded and walked back into my temporary accommodation and dove under the covers looking over at Monu who had already started sleeping I thought about what tomorrow had in store for us, as I adjusted myself into a more comfortable position I attempted to sleep.

After a short ten minutes I opened my eyes and sat up feeling slightly irritated that my insomnia mixed with the growing feeling of fear was keeping me from sleeping I pulled my phone from my pocket and checked the battery it read eighty six percent I opened my phone and began looking through my gallery hoping to distract myself with nostalgia until I felt tired enough to fall asleep what a day I thought.

Adrian's POV| 12 hours later

Sitting at my desk I grasped my mouse firmly with my right hand while holding the other one over my keyboard focusing on my PC with great intensity all my teammates were dead and I only had a quarter of my life left I decided it was now or never as I landed the final hit on their rift as the end game cutscene played out I erupted out into fit of laughter and joy as a bounced off of my chair screaming "I finally reached the rank of challenger!!" I said before downing a can of monster.

"I've got to send a screenshot of my rank to the others they're going to be so jealous" I said uploading a picture to our discord before I could celebrate more I looked up at my skylight and noticed an odd amount of water was forming worriedly I rushed outside my room and noticed that our house was now submerged under water as seconds passed I noticed that the Windows began to crack unsure what to do I stood there mesmerised by the scene as the glass finally gave in water came pouring in as I began swimming towards the broken window I cut my wrist on a bit of broken glass I gasped slightly quickly closing my mouth again now struggling just to breath I began swimming towards the surface which slowly but surely was becoming further away slowly losing the strength to continue swimming I struggled for a slight second before blacking out.

my eyes shot open as I felt ice cold water make contact with my skin I gasped and started taking deep breathes, I surveyed the room I was in, it looked like a room made out of crystal with countless bookshelves scattered around the room in the centre of the room was a table with 6 chairs surrounding it.

I went to stand up before noticing I had what looked like chains attached to my feet and wrists restricting my movement I looked to my right and saw a man in chain mail with some form of facial injury however it was hard to describe what injury he had from where I was sitting however he was chained up like me but he looked unconscious I began pulling rapidly Pulling at my restraints but stopped when I heard feminine voice say "you're finally awake" my eyes snapped in the direction the voice was coming from but the room was too dark it must be late or early I thought straining my eyes I could see what appeared to be a purple unicorn...with wings.

I felt shocked as I crawled backwards until I hit what I assumed was a bookshelf I grabbed the nearest book and launched it at her however before it had time to hit her it was surrounded by a purple aura and was placed on a table nearby the voice spoke out again this time more serious "can you please stop that I'm trying to speak with you" I shifted my shirt feeling uncomfortable from being drenched in water I looked back at it.

"Who and what are you!!" I shouted trying my best not to sound nervous it looked at me and asked.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle and I'm the princess of friendship and you are?" She motioned towards me I frowned.

"I'm Adrian and I don't like being chained up like this or being questioned by some freak of nature so why don't you free me" I said rattling the chains she shook her head she looked like she was contemplating saying something.

"I..can't do that until I can make sure everyone in Ponyville is safe" I frowned at her and furiously rattled my chains.

"Listen it wasn't my choice to come here, if it were my choice I'd be back home watching anime and playing league of legends not dealing with Ponyville! and its abominations of nature" she seemed to look at me oddly she sighed and sat down.

"Yesterday evening I was researching the rise in magical activity in equestria and, as I was measuring the amount of magic active magic here in Ponyville I noticed a sudden surge in magical activity there were seven surges one after the other" she said ecstatic with energy I groaned.

"Get on with it" I said rubbing my eyes she frowned at me.

"I was going to before you interrupted me, anyway when I returned to my castle me and my assistant found you and this other creature passed out on my table."

I shook my head quickly "how does this In anyway relate to me being chained up?" I asked she then facehoofed.

"If I found both you and this other creature" I cut her off.

"Also our species are called Humans so stop saying creature it's annoying" I ran my hand through my hair.

"Anyway if I found you two after the magical surge then that must mean that there are other 'humans' out there and I would like to locate them before deciding what to to with you all." she said I immediately thought about my friends they must be out there..somewhere she turned away from me "besides they could be dangerous you're already acting hostile."

"So..what comes next then?" I questioned.

"After I've performed my morning duties I'll start tracking them down and will subdue them if necessary, I will then bring them back here." she paused for a second "until then I'll have my number one assistant keeping an eye on you" as she said this I heard the sound of feet unenthusiastically making their way into the room as I rotated my head slightly and saw a reptilian lizard thing appear from behind the door.

"Jeez Twilight is this really that important that you had me wake up this early to do?" he questioned yawning and stretching Twilight turned to what I assumed was a he.

"Of course it is Spike I would've never asked you to do this if it wasn't important enough just read a book until I get back" she said in a somewhat motherly tone I swear I could feel vile erupting from my throat.

Spike groaned "fine but you owe me a tub of ice cream for this" he said sitting down on a small wooden chair five meters away from me.

"Ok Spike send me a scroll in case of an emergency I should be back in two hours".

"Ugh just go already" Spike said as he lazily sat back on the chair as Twilight turned and exited the room he turned his attention to me and gave me a curious look, as I did to him after ten minutes of just staring at each other I felt a sudden pain in my head after I rubbed my head, he just looked at me and said "tough day huh?" I let a out a small chuckle.

"You don't even know the half of it"
