Blood, Guts and Redemption

The feeling of the stone floor under my feet felt so good. It had been years since I had walked on literally anything. I picked the last remnants of crushed bones and flesh from my teeth with one of my long claws, once they were out, I flicked them off to the side of the hall. As I walked through the stone halls of the dungeon, I found more and more deceased guards. Most of them had their necks slashed, other had multiple stab wounds in vital places.

The ponies who brought me back from the dead clearly wanted me for something. They asked to be taught how to be like me, so maybe they wanted to be cannibalistic freaks? I don't know, but right now they don't matter. I continued my journey through the endless maze of stone walls. Slowly but surely I entered in to a new area that I had very much never seen before, still with the plain stone walls of course. After what felt like half an hour I found a clean wooden door. Upon opening I looked on at a small staircase that led upwards. So, I decided to slowly climb up them. The celling was to low for me to stand upright, so I was forest to walk on all fours, which was surprisingly effective. My long arms helped with it a lot.

As I made it to the top of the stairs I was greeted by yet another door. I slowly opened it and peeked out of the stairwell. I saw a clean marble floor with a beautiful red carpet running down the middle of it. The walls where the same shiny marble as the floor. I had to say, I would kill for a place like this back in my world. I crept out of the stairwell and out in to the large corridor. I looked left, then I looked right. Both ways looked the exact same so really I just had to pick one and go with it. I chose to go left down the corridor. The red carpet felt wonderful, it was soft and comfy I could have just laid down on it and took a nap. But I knew better and decided to keep moving.

This place was wonderful and so very bright. I wish I could have stayed but if Twilight, found that I was gone, she would have the entire castle swept just to find me. I would uncountably be caught. I heard the sound of hooves gently walking along a split in the hall. My mind began to panic and I looked around for an escape. There, a small door. I rushed over to the door, sung it open and entered. It was a tight fitting cupboard, filled with janitorial equipment. I hid behind some large sheets that where also in the cupboard, just so I could conceal myself more. The hoof grew closer and slowly sped up. They were coming in my direction and as they grew closer, I heard the sound of a mare giggling.

"Where should we do it." I heard the mare say just beyond from the door.

"Well I was thinking in there, no one would find us." I heard a stallion say.

I peeked out of the sheets for a moment and saw the cupboard door slowly open. I watched as a maid entered the cupboard, she was the followed by a stallion in guards amour. The maid twirled around to meet the guard with a kiss.

"Oh, shit!" I thought to myself. I carefully watched as the stallion shut the door behind him with his hind leg as he returned the kiss. "Fucking, couples."

The kiss grew and grew, until they were forcibly undressing each other. There were three ways this could go. I could let do their business the leave, let my presence be known, or they could spot me. The guard practically picked the mare of the ground with his forelegs then spun her around so her back was against the door. She had her forelegs wrapped around his neck. "For the love of God, please don't do this to me."

"Do you smell that?" The mare said suddenly, as she stopped kissing her partner.

"What do you mean?" He responded. The stallion sniffed the air. "Oh, oh my! What is that smell?"

I had forgotten that I probably gave off the smell of a corpse. I silently cursed myself for smelling so bad. My eyes locked on to the mare as I saw her squinting at me in the dark, as if she wasn't sure if I was there. I slowly, very slowly began to move my head back behind the sheets. The mare let out a scream, the stallion turned around and locked eyes with me. He screamed as well and they both tumbled out of the door. They scrambled to their hooves as I walked out. I towered over both of them and they looked at me in horror. Before I could do anything, they where halfway down the hall already.

I watched the couple as they turned a corner and left my line of site. That was one of the most unconfutable two minutes of my life. I looked back in to the cupboard and shivered at the thought on what I could have seen. I decided to grab one of the sheets I hid behind and threw it around myself like some kind of cloak. Was it practical? No, But at least I would be somewhat obscured from the outside world. I continued my march to find an exit to the castle. I had never been here before so it was a little tricky to navigate the endless amount of halls and rooms.

Eventually I stumbled upon a window. I looked out of it, finally able to see the outside world. It was night and there was a massive thunderstorm going on. I shuddered, remembering this was the same weather as my first night in this world. The three fillies in the tree house and how I scared them. How I beat Applejack to a pulp in the middle of the road.

I shook my head clear of my thoughts. My only concern should be to get out of here. If I couldn't find the exit, I could always make one. I looked at the window and brought my fist up. I slammed it against the glass and it immediately shattered instantly.

Finally... Freedom.
