Spirit Animal

It has been months since that Skinwalker did this to me and I have been fighting for my life. The wooden wolfs and even more horrors in this god damned forest. This place is a living hell and I am running out of food. I was able to see smoke north to where I am and I think its a town. There isn't only one but several smokes rising from the north and I hope there are people there. I load my shotgun take some water and the tomahawk along with the pocket knife. I was walking threw the bare traps careful not to step on one. after the Iwas standing before the forest. I took a deep breathe, praying to God to have a better time there. Finally then I took one step Inside this hell. I walked in the forest and was ready for anything. As I walk I look down at a compass and I was heading north. I hope who ever these people are I can get help and could get me back to Gallup New Mexico. I could hear and feel something watching me and I was getting nervous. I had ran into a manticore once and was nearly killed but the shotgun had saved me. I five loaded, one more box of shotgun shells and back at home. I feel like I should go badck to the house but I am determine to get back home and to my family. I walked slow and breathing threw my skull skene mask it was a gift from my sister from Halloween as he wanted to be ghost from modern warfare. I wasn't wearing any sunglasses as I wanted to see if I was going to die and prevent it. As I walk threw the forest I see something move in the corner of my eye to the right of me. I aim the shotgun and was ready to kill what ever monster that showed up in my site. But what I had saw was worrying. It was the tip on a manticores tail and saw quickly as I saw it, it had retreated back into the green of the forest. I wanted to move but I was too stunned to move not even an inch. After that I just ran north as fast as I could moving like there was no tomorrow. I didn't want to fight a manticore as one of them almost killed me. It was out of pure luck that I made it out of that encounter and killed that son of bitch. I ran and ran and could finally see sun light and I have never been more happy to see it. As I ran I could hear something behind me and it was getting closer to me. "Oh you got to be fucking with me right now!!" I stomp one foot in front of me and turn around to face the manticore. I aim the shotgun and waited for the right moment to fire the gun. Finally the manticore jumped out and was ready to kill, but so was I. Without taking the change to wait I fired the gun and the recoil knocked me back as I didn't have enough time to stand the right way and it knocked me on my ass. At first I was scared that I missed by the sound of a heavy body hitting the floor with a thud. I look up and see the body of the dead manticore and I was more than happy to see that sight.

"AAAHHHH!!!!" I hear a scream and I turned to see something that shocked me to my core. It was an antho pony well more a Pegasus. It was a yellow Pegasus with a pink main it was also wearing blue jeans and a white shirt in which looked a little to tight on her. But that wasn't important what was is that I found some one who could help him find his way home. But I then realized that she was looking at the dead manticore in horror. I then realized that they may have manticores as pets. I stood up and pointed the shotgun down and tried to talk his way out of this. But the key word was tried aa the Pegasus mare screamed and ran like hell back to a small hut in the distance. I thought that it would be the end of that but I could hear something approve me and it was fast. I then feel a hard punch to my face and I hold my cheek in pain. I look to see another Pegasus mare this time it was a cyan colored with a rainbow main. I was getting mad at this point so I put down the shotgun and backpack was put up my fist to fight. The Pegasus was wearing sports clothes and seem to notice me get ready for a fight. She then smiled and also got ready for fight. I stood and was waiting for the Pegasus to make the first move. Suddenly she flew right into my stomach with a powerful punch and that knocked the wind out of me. But I was raised in the res and I know how to take a punch. So while her fist was still on my gut I slammed both of my fist down on her head. She then hit the ground hard and was holding her head in pain. But I was still mad show I kidded her away and picked up my stuff and began to walk away from the Pegasus mare. I then turned south head back home, but I had yelled this back to the Pegasus. "Don't fuck with me again." I then walked back home wondering on what I could do now as I know I am no longer in Gallup New Mexico. Hell I don't think I'm on earth anymore so I hope that Skinwalker shows his face as I want him to bring me back and blow is fucking brains out. After a long walk home I crash on the living room couch. I couldn't keep this up I'm running out of food and the solar panel on my house is damaged and not getting enough energy to power the house. I am going to turn off a couple things in my house and my water supply is a surplus and I thank god for that. But the food is a big problem. I blame the amount I give to the church to help the homeless , Damn me and my good heart. I only hope that I live long enough to get back home to the people I love.

Meanwhile in Canterlot castle Third POV

princess Celestia was shitting on her throne and in the middle of day court. When suddenly a guard walks in with a\ letter the mayor of ponyville. She was surprised to see one from such a small town but is is close to the everfree Forest so the surprised was short lived. The guard handed Celestia the letter bowed and walked out of the throne room. Celestia opened the letter and what the letter read made her raise and eye brow in confession and concern. The letter was a request for guards to watch over the town and to capture a beast in the everfree forest. The description of the beast was more worrying as well as what it did to a manticore and a resident of the town. Celestia was understandably worried to her core. As it was only a week until the Summer Sun Celebration and only a week until she will escape. Was this beast one of her nightmares or was it just a coincidence, no she couldn't take the change. Celestia stood and order to see a guard at once. The guard burst threw the throne room doors and bowed before Celestia. She looked at the Everfree forest and was wondering on if this was her on just paranoia. But she didn't think long as she knew what ever it was it hurt one of her ponies.

"You are take ten guards and listen to the mayor of ponyville and find the breast and capture it." The guard now standing at attention and after Celestia gave him an order he bowed once again and said.

"Understood, your highness." The guard then ran out the door determine to fill the order the princess gave him. Celestia then looked out of a widow to the right and she can see the Everfree forest. She then glared at the forest as it brought back terrible memories. But she hoped to her mother that I really was a coincidence.

Back in the Everfree forest Chaz POV

I awake in the middle of the night and notice the moon and what was on it as well. It was a unicorns head made out of the craters in the surface of the moon. My eyes widen and I felt something I haven't felt a long time. It was hopelessness and the feel that I may never return home never to see my loved ones again. I wanted to cry I wanted to scream my head off and just throw my self off a cliff. But that wouldn't get my closer to home and it would only give the monsters of this place a free dinner the main course my dead body. I want to go home where my mother and brothers wait for me and will slower me comforting me and telling me that everything is okay. But deep down I could feel the smallest part of doubt in me. I just wanted to go home but now I think this my changes of going home are 10,000 to 1 and I may be lucky but my luck can run out. I stand up and walk back out side to see the beautiful night sky. I love the night sky my friend Ethan always wanted to look at the moon with a high powered telescope to see the moon in high detail. "Ethan would have a field day with this night sky." I say to myself but the look down in saddest as would they even look for me? Would my own family look for me and would they even miss me on how much time has past. I shack my head and put those thoughts down as of course they would miss me and are looking for me and they will find....... nothing. They will continued to look until they give up and forget about me. They would hold a funeral for me with any closure for where I am or if I am alive. I sighed and prayed to god that my family would be a peace with my disappearance and move on to with their life's.

I walk off the porch and sit on the steps and was thinking on what I could do for food. I could try hunting with a bow but where can I find and or make a bow. I then realized that I hadn't looked in a room of my house and that was my grandfathers. I Also then thought that it could be a big mess after what the Skinwalker did and that pissed me off more than ever. I quickly ran back inside, and down a hall way to the left of me. I past my brothers room which I had already cleaned. I promised myself that I would never open the door to this room. As this was the room in which my grandpa and grandma room filled with my people's artifacts and treasure that has been past down from generation to generation. And now the room could be a gait mess. But hey maybe it isn't a big mess that is not likely but a man could dream. I opened the door to see the room a complete mess and that everything from my ancestors scattered all over the room. The artifacts were necklaces, ear rings, rings. Two stone tomahawks that were now snapped in half from the handle and one I noticed that was still in tack. It was a bow with two feathers on both ends one red and the other white, it also had a native American blanket for the handle and the navajo writing for black bear on the side of the bow. I then picked it up an noticed that it was dusty and old like it was a few generations. As soon as I think that the bow seem to clean it self looking band new like it was just made only an hour ago. I was shocked to see this old bow go back to were it look like it was just made. I then look at both of the feathers and I knew that one was my grandfathers spirit animal, it was a red bird. I just didn't know what kind of red bird it was. Now the white feather was more confusing to me. I could be my mothers but her spirit animal is a brown bear and I know mine is the black bear. So who could this white feather be and why was it with this bow with my grandpas... I the put two and two together and realized that this white feather must be my grandmothers. She was always the watchful one of owner family and she would always watch over us when we were little. She was like a hawk watching over us and making sure we didn't do anything stupid. I then hear a hawk to the right of me and I see it siting there on the window seal a white hawk looking directly at me. It then seem to point to the closet and what was inside of the closet. I walk over to the closet wondering what I would find in there. It was a surplus of arrows that look older than anything in this house. But like the bow they all turned back in time and became brand new right before me. I look back at the hawk and smile as I have a pretty good idea on who it is and why its here. I see the hawk flying away into the forest along side a small red bird and head deeper into the forest. I shed a tire and say to myself. "Thank you grandma."

For a lack of better word I suited up with my new weapon and I decided to save the shotgun for a rain day or a manticore. I only used a bow in my gym class and for hunting with my grandpa when we were low on ammo. we always use bate and fallow a trail the animal leaves. It is either the food they leave or if I hit it with an arrow fallow the blood. It was still late but I am more of a night person anyway. I run into the forest ready to find something to eat. I do have the little packets of roman noddle's but that takes water and I only have a few gallons of it, so I neither need a water source or with a deer or rabbit. I fallow a trail of paw prints from a rabbit but I lost the trail after I ran into the tall grass and their were multiple tracks form multiple different animals. Then I hear my grandfathers voice and he seem to be guiding me and what I need to do. "Close your eyes and let your spirit animal grant you its abilities." I close my eyes and take a deep breath and feel the spirit of the black bear. I open my eyes to see everything black and white except for one trail leading northeast into the forest. I ran as fast as I could fallowing the trail into the forest but as I fallowed the trees seem to be in short supplies. The trail leaded to a rabbit hole so that hunt is going to end there. But I then noticed that the trees seem to be in a row and the bark looked different from the ones behind him. I then look at the branches approve me to see the gates of heave and the color was red. I standing there for a good minute of two just looking at the apple in the tree and several more. I smiled ready to gather more than I can carry but that was the problem I had nothing to carry the apples. But then I could see a light in the distance and I knew that it might be those anthro ponies and they might have what I need. Although I am not a thief I just need something to survive so I guess it is alright. I could use one that is damaged and fix it back home but that doesn't clear up the apples I am going to take. But this is for my survival and I am going to take what I can get from anything so am going survive to get back to my family. As I ran toward the light and I got closer I saw a house and a barn The light I saw was the porch light and there was a light green old looking pony sitting on the porch looking in the apple tree forest. Suddenly the door opens and a orange pony wearing a cowboy hat, a red button up shirt with cut blue jeans made to shorts walked out and looked at the older mare. "Granny smith come back inside. That critter that attacked earlier today is not com'in to own farm. I if it dose's we will show it what for." The older mare the sighed and stood with the help of the orange one and both went back inside to the orange closing the door and the lights inside turn off. I waited a little longer to enter the barn to look for the thing I need. I could use a bucket or a sack to hold apples. I crouch run to the barn and my legs were inconvertible and screaming for me to just run to the barn. But I wanted to keep quiet as I don't know if they have guns or if they would awake from the noise I could make. I noticed that there was no lock on the barn door and seem to just be open in for anyone.

I step inside and look around but it was too dark. I then remembered what I could do thanks to my spirit animal. I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe threw my nose. I could smell certain objects in this barn, like a used tool or that there are cows in this barn. They were all asleep and were also on four legs and I took a big sigh of relieve and I thanked god for that little detail. I then opened my eyes and I saw a shack that had a small hole that I could fix with my grandma stitching kit. I turn back to head out of the barn but I then hear something like someone in the bin yawn. My eyes still see black an white and I saw the smallest calf and it was waking up. At first I thought nothing of it until it eyes opened and it looked to human. But what really shocked me was that I spoke to me when it looked at me. "Who are you? Another one of the apples farmers." I was to shocked that this animal spoke to me and worried that I might get in trouble as I don't look like a pony. But then I realized that it was dark and it maybe hard to see so I smiled not that it could see it and said.

"See now go back too sleep little buddy." The calf yawned and went back to sleep. I sighed and headed back out side closing the barn door behind me. I thought I was home free but something happened that I really hoped wouldn't happen. A dog started to bark like there was no tomorrow. And the lights turn on and the field I was standing in was lit up like it was the middle of the day and they family was wide awake. I decided to take my leave and I ran back to the apple tree forest back to the hell hole I call a home. I quickly look over my compass that I keep in my left pocket, I needed to head back home it was south and I know where I last been. I stop and close my eyes and take a deep breathe letting my spirit animal guide me to my home. I open my eyes and then I see my own foot prints heading to the forest and that was my way to get home but I need some apples. But the sack was still broken but I could just close then opening and use the torn hole. That is what I did only getting a hand full of apple and put it in the sack and ran back to the forest. But I was then hit with what filled like a sledge hammer. I dropped the sack lucky the apples stayed inside but that was the least of my problems as the one who hit him was a tall red stallion with a blond main and tail wear a button up shirt with blue jeans and with the meanest glare that only a country man can pull. I tried to stand but the stallion noticed this and he kick me back to the ground and then said with the most deepest voice I have ever heard.

"Stay down and nobody gets hurts." I did as he asked but I knew for sure they are going to lock me up for what I did this morning. But I noticed that he was focused on the sack that has the apples in inside. I used this to my escape from this place but I got to get his eyes off me. I then hear my grandfather voice again and this time he says to me.

"Let the black bear give you strength my child." I then tried to stand again but the stallion put his hoove on my back planning on keeping me there. But I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe letting my spirit animal give me strength. I then opened my eyes to feel like I can do anything I feel like I could left a car and run for hours on end. I put both my hands on the ground prepare to push up. This made the stallion confused as he did have is hoove on my back and it was uncomfortable and I needed to get back home. With one push I stood up with out any trouble and at the same time I knocked that stallion on his ass. He had the most confused and scared look on his face and I tried to stand but I delivered a powerful kick to his face making his muzzle bleed and knocking him out cold because of my spirit animal strength. I then pick up the sack and ran into the forest I which I came to call home even though I don't want it to be. I ran until I finally made it home and was happy to lay down on my bed and pass the fuck out. I just wish I could make back home to all the people I love. But I have a feeling that things are going to be different for better or for worst.
