The Arisen Brony.
Waking time
Previous ChapterNearly a week had gone by since the night she found the creature that now remains motionless in a sleep like state. She has been keeping a close eye on it now, in case it was to wake up, but something seemed off. This creature wasn’t in any of the books she had on animals or the few she had on mythical creatures either. She would’ve went to ask Twilight to come and examine the creature to see if she knew what it was or had any books that had whatever this creature was in it, but both Twilight and Spike were in Canterlot visiting her family. In fact Fluttershy hasn’t told any of her friends of her discovery, yet. Rainbow Dash was in Cloudsdale trying out for the Wonderbolts –again, Rarity was in Manehatten attending a fashion show, Applejack and her family was in Appleloosa for the Apple Clan Reunion, and Pinkie Pie was busy babysitting Pound and Pumpkin Cake while their parents were on a well-deserved vacation.
Not being able to further care for the injured creature simply ate up Fluttershy inside, after taking care of all the other forest creatures, she often found herself reading next to the creature residing in her bed. It seemed to add a comforting element to the situation, well at least to her it did.

Pain.
Cameron awoke from his unconsciousness.
Let’s try and get up.
And I can’t move anything.
Well, that’s just dandy.
Looking around the room with his eyes, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but something about this room seemed eerily familiar.
“I’ve seen this room before but where……..and why AM I NOT WEARING ANYTHING BUT MY BOXERS?” Cameron thought to himself. “Alright, let’s not panic, I’m not chained up or anything……….as far as I know,” He took a deep breath through his nose, “Well at least it smells nice.” He noted.
“Oh, you’re awake.”
______________________________________________________________
Fluttershy’s ears perked up as she heard a deep inhale come from her bed. She looked over at the creature, its eyes were open.
‘’Oh, you’re awake,” Fluttershy tried to say with the most comforting tone she could.
That voice…….
Cameron instantly knew where he was now. “Ok, I’m insane…..yeah let’s just go with that one, no, I don’t think I’m there quite yet…... I must be dreaming or…….something. This is impossible, something is up and I have no idea what the hell is going on…….. Yeah, I’m just gonna go with the loss of my sanity…….” Adrenaline started to course through his veins as a bit of panic set in, feeling it flow to every limb, he took full advantage. Now being free to move, he leapt from Fluttershy’s bed to the side opposite Fluttershy. He stood there, watching her. She was now hiding in a corner, face buried behind her mane and hooves, he assumed out of fear.
“Shhh…….Shhhhh….It’s going to be alright Fluttershy,” Cameron whispered with a calming tone. “I’m not going to hurt you”
“H-how do you know my name?” Fluttershy stammered, still trembling in the corner.
“It’s kind of a long story, I’ll tell you later, but I need you to do something for me. Can you do something for me?” Fluttershy nodded her head in agreement. “Good, well there is no easy way to ask this, but I need you to hit me, hit me as hard as you can.”
“Wha-what?!?” Fluttershy tearfully cried “I-I couldn’t possibly do that, it would onl-“
“Yes, yes you can do this,” he explained “I need you to hit me as hard as you can so that I know that this is real life and not just some fantasy.”
“I………..I-I………I can’t do it,” she managed to stammer out.
“Ugh…….yes yo- ,” he was cut short by a small white bunny roundhouse kicking him in the face. Cameron nearly choked as the wind was knocked out him while he fell flat on his back to the floor.
“I-I’m sorry………………I-I just couldn’t do it,” she whimpered as tears fell to the wood floor.
Cameron gasped for air as he sat up. “It’s ok Fluttershy; I shouldn’t have asked for you to do something like that, there’s no reason to say you’re sorry, I know this is real now. If anyone is sorry it should be me.”
“So......what are you?” Fluttershy inquired. “I’ve never seen a creature like you before, not even in the few mythology books I do have.”
“I’m a human and I’m not surprised that I’m not in any historical records, yet.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because it would be very unlikely that humans have ever been to this world.”
“Hmmm…..what’s your name?”
“My name is Cameron Hickson.”
“Where did you come from?”
“Well last time I checked, I was just outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana………in the country of the United States of
America…………..on planet Earth. I really don’t have a clue as to how I got here.”
“When I found you, you were hurt……..pretty bad.”
“……..I actually don’t really remember what happened,” he looked down at himself and saw all the bruises on his body.
“You were unconscious……..for almost a week,” she told him.
“I bet my dad is worried sick,” Cameron replied.
“Oh…oh my, I….um…..imagine he would be.”
“Yeah, by any chance could I have a glass of water? I’m really thirsty.” Cameron asked Fluttershy. She nodded her head.
“Oh, I bet you are…..for being unconscious for almost a week and all,” she added “I’ll go get you a glass.”
“Thank you………..thank you for everything you’ve done, I’m sure I owe you my life”
Fluttershy returned a short time later with a glass. “So you still haven’t told me how you know my name yet.”
He took a gulp of water and replied, “Well…….I’ll tell you soon, but I’ll need to speak with the other five girls to clear everything up.”
“Oh…..well um I guess you’re lucky then.” Fluttershy replied.
“How’s that?”
“Because we were actually planning a get together tonight because Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack just got back to Ponyville because they had….um….events to attend.”
“I see……… and about my clothes…”
“Oh, well you see…um… well I….um… washed them….they were all muddy and had blood stains…..I hope you’re not angry or anything…”
Cameron took another sip, “Oh no, I’m not angry Fluttershy, I was just worried…….yeah, very worried……it’s not every day that I wake up somewhere new……..without my clothes, but I do appreciate that you cleaned them.”
“I took out the things that you were carrying in the pockets and set them by your umm…..saddlebag?”
“Backpack, its fine…..sooo where are my clothes?”
“Oh, um, they are by your backpack.”
“And that is?”
“At the foot of the bed.”
“Oh……ok,” He chuckled a bit because he didn’t notice it being there “Do you have a bathroom I could use and maybe a shower?”
“That would be down the hall and to the right.”
“Thank you…………..well for everything.”
Still slightly limping, he made his way to the bathroom. “Ouch…..how did I even get here…..this is kinda impossible……….better question, how do I even turn on this shower……..” Cameron stood puzzled at the shower in front of him. “Now which knob is hot water,” He turned the first knob. “COLD, COLDCOLDCOLDNOTTHISONE, DEFINATLY NOT THIS ONE, NEXT KNOB!” He turned the next knob, “Let’s see what this one isHOTHOTHOTHOTTURNITTURNITTURNIT,” He turned off the knob of scalding water and looked at the knob that was below the other two. “Well let’s see, we have the knob for mother fucking Mordor, the knob for the god damned Arctic Ocean, why the fuck not, let’s just turn this one and find what surprise it has for me,” he turned the final knob, “mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I like dis one ahahah…………….”
