As I walked threw the everfree forest I could help but think about home and how much this place is like it. And how much I don't fit in this world and how I am a freak to the ponies. I honestly thought that maybe I could get help and try to get back on my feet and get home. But what was going threw my head that made me do that?

"As your brothers say, you think with your head up your ass." I then tried to ignore that asshole part of me that is all he dose.
"Ouch, the pot calling the kettle black why don't you." I then stopped took a deep breath and yelled with the most rage I have felt in a while.

"JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" That seem to even scare the timberwolfs as one was hiding in the brushes to the right of me. But it the damn thing the bolted away with its tall behind its legs and whimpering like a lost puppy. I then took multiple breathes and after I regained my strength I continued to walk. I didn't have to walk far as my house was in sight and I couldn't be happier to see something I know is home to me. But home is where the heart is and my heart is where my family is in Gallup New Mexico.

"What makes you think they miss you? After all you and I think and know, that we where nothing to them." I was getting tired of his shit and I don't even understand why it here. I didn't have a bad childhood in fact my child hood was pretty alright. "Really!? We had an 'alright' child hood. Remember how a certain brother treated us like garage for not doing his work right!?" I then remember that as I have nine brothers and that happened in the past. Other reason was that he was focusing on getting his daughter back from his ex. "Oh and that gives him the right to continue to treat us like nothing and give us scars that would stay for as long as we live." The voice said this as I entered threw the door and I fell on the couch ready to fall asleep. It was mid day but that never stopped me even when I was back home but I just wanted to sleep and never get back up. "Good night I will have fun showing all the new nightmare we have."

I just laughed and shut me eyes as this was feeling a lot more like home. I then closed my eyes and and fall into the sleep I needed but was not looking forward to. I could see that I was just in a black void and there was nothing I could see for miles. That was when I saw was my family ignoring me and doing what they wanted while I was just rotting away. My fore arm cut downward and my blood running down the bed as my family just walked by. Some would look, only to shrug and continued like they didn't see their brother dead and rotting away from just being ignored. I have seen this dream so many times all I could do now is laugh, That was really all I could do as this was what I feared but I knew that my family would be looking for me. That was when it changed and it showed the one man I hardly knew and wish I knew very little about him. It was my father and he looked pissed at me and me alone.

" I wish you weren't such a disappointment." I stopped laughing and did the one thing that I always wanted to do if I see him again. I delivered a right hook to his face and knocking him back and plunging the dream into darkness. Suddenly I awoke with a start as I could hear something moving in the forest. I shot up from the couch and noticed that the sun was setting and that it was getting dark. I rush out side as what ever was out there it seem to be interested in my house and my house alone. I had the shot gun in my hand and aiming it for anything that might be a threat to me. I then noticed that a bush was moving, not moving like there was anything in it. But rather they were moving like they had a mind of their own. That was when the trees around the brush moved as well and it formed a giant tree person that had green eyes and looked at me like I did something wrong.

"And here I thought that this forest ran out of nightmare fuel." When I said that, the tree giant raise a wooden fist planning on crushing me. I quickly ran for cover and the only one I could find was in the forest. I ran inside and ducked down to me belly and prayed it didn't see where I was. My prayer was answered as the giants fist swung over head and I could feel the rush of wind. It snapped the near by trees like they were nothing and left me in the open. I was preparing something I hopped it could bring this thing down. While also hopping that I don't cause a forest fire in the process. All in needed to complete it was a rag and sadly the only place I could find one quick was in my house. What made it more difficult was the fact that the gait seem to just stand in front of it like a guard dog. The giant then raised another fist and was ready to kill me painful and slow. I acted fast and ready my shot gun aiming for the face of the giant. Even when the shot has shit rage it is a big target and I think that one of the pellet's hit it right in eye. As that happened it reeled back in pain holding its face and howling so loud I think my ears were bleeding. But even if my ears where bleeding, I sprinted to the house and flung opened the door. I stepped inside and rushed to the kitchen looking for a rag and hopping there was one. As I looked I could hear that giant yell in rage and seem to look around for me. The only reason I could tell was the amount of shacking and the amount my ear where ringing. Finally I found one and I then pulled out a bar bottle the reeked of gasoline and with that and the rag I think you know what this is. I stuffed the rag in the bottle and then pulled out a flip lighter and then readied myself for then ran out side to see. The face of the giant looking directly at me and had gripped me raising me high as he stood. I then quickly plipped opened the lighter then tried to start it, but the key word was tried. After one or two tries I then was starting to panic as I was pretty high for anyone was not to survive. Finally I then got the lighter to start I then quickly set fire the rag. With one throw I aimed for the face and chuck that bitch as fast as I could. But as soon as I do that giant then dropped me and I landed with a thud and the wind knocked out of me. As I lay there trying to regain my breathe I could feel the very ground shake and what made it so was surprising to me. With that single Molotov burned to entire head leave nothing but the body left to be burned by the spreading fire. I acted quickly still trying to catch my breathe, I ran for water in the house. I returned with a water jug and ran to the giants corpse poring the water on the fire. I then stomped out any others near the head. I then spent the next hour finding and stopping fire in the forest near by my house. After that I then just when back into the house and played music on the speaker at full volume. At this point I think the forest knows not to Fuck With A COOLEY.

One hour earlier Twilight POV

I was looking at spike nose hoping it was not broken. "That was really stupid Spike, why were you fighting him anyways?" Spike then looked toward me and I just realized what I asked and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Oh right, well he had a reason for yelling at me."

"And what reason would that be, because the way I see it he had no reason to yell at you." I looked to him and replied but before I could there was a knock at the door. I walk toward the door and I was wondering who it could be while also telling spike why Chaz yelled.

"I was trying to see what I could find with his stuff, without asking him." Spike raised his claw but then put it back down as he realized that I was right. I made it to the door and opened it to see applejack and she looked worried. I was confused and also worried for what made Applejack look so distressed. And I couldn't help but feel a little worried for what made her look like this. "Applejack? What's wrong? Applejack then pulled me without warning and I noticed the rest of the girls outside. I was confused even further as they all seem to be worried and I hoped it was not Chaz. As Applejack pulled I asked the question with more urgency. "Applejack What is wrong?" Applejack then stopped and then turn to me. She then said with a grim voice.

"Twi, Chaz was yelling in the forest. I think something happened to him, so lets go." Applejack then regrouped with the rest of the girls and they all turned to the direction of the everfree forest. I quickly caught up and I asked more questions that hanged in my mind.

"Where do you all think Chaz lives in the forest?" With that they all stopped with a halt and they tuned and looked at each other. I then said with as much determination as the other girls. "Alright girls we need a plan and we need it fast." Right as I finished saying that, over the trees I and the rest of the girls could see a tree giant. And I don't know why but I have a feeling that was where Chaz was. Without any plan or any way for us really knowing that was where he is, we all ran into the forest hopping that he doesn't get hurt, or worst.

Chaz POV

As I listen to music of my favorite ban Panic At The Disco. I could feel a burning pain all of sudden and it was getting worst by the second. My whole body was in pain so it took a while for me to locate what hurt the most and I did not like where it was coming from. I try to move my right leg and for a result a sharp pain shot up it. I then moved my body, trying hard to move for my leg very little. I was able to sit up and take a look at my leg, what I saw was a bear trap snap deep into my flesh. These kinds of bear traps where made to hurt and keep the animal in place. I quickly moved, ignoring the cries of pain the from the rest of my body. I gripped the bear trap and opened it, blood poring out like the was no tomorrow. I then threw the trap to the side and put pressure on the gash. I was lucky that it only stabbed and didn't tear my flesh, after all bear traps can do some serious damage. I quickly used my shirt to tie around my leg, with it I could get the med kit and something to help me. I stood making sure not to put and weight on the right leg, but before I could move I hear something at the front door. I turned to the door, my Tomahawk ready for a fight but my body was less that ready. But a fight was not waiting for my, rather it was six mare faces. All looking at me with shock and fear, I do not know if it was fear in me or the way I was in. I dropped the Tomahawk and as soo as I did, Fluttershy moved quickly and looked over the small cuts and bruises. She seem to be stressed by ever one she finds. That was until she looked at the bloody, shirt covered leg. Her eyes at first where full of shock and then in a second was filled with tiers.

"Chaz, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU!?" I could hear rainbow dash say to the left of me. I just sighed and rubbed my face replied the most just done with it.

"Just take me to the hospital." With that I just let fluttershy carry me as my body couldn't go on any longer. I close my eyes and just except the sweet cold grip of sleep. But of cores old memories will always show their ugly face.
