Chapter 1: A Rude Awakening

Some things you should know about me, I am 19, my name is Chris James, and I am a closet brony. I also am a person who loves to try new things and meet new people, can adapt to things quickly and have always loved animals. And here is the story of how I ended up fulfilling my dream, or so I thought... If you want to have an image of my look to put in your head, I am about 5'5" and I have brown hair and teal blue eyes. Oh, and I was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans... with a jacket to top it all off. On this fateful night, heading home on my way back from a party our tale begins. Now on to the story!

It all started on my drive back from my birthday party. I was driving down the highway (parents live out of the city) towards the city of Toronto when a terrible storm hit.

'Thanks for the warning weather channel, note to self: stop listening to the weather station'

I decided to just keep going despite how bad the weather was, but about halfway there I got off the highway and began driving down a road with a few trees around it.

CRRRACK BANG

A large tree branch struck by lightning fell in front of the car and caused me to swerve out of the way and smashed head on into another tree causing me to lose consciousness. A little bit later I wake up with my vision very blurry and everything echoed throughout my ears. I began to move when I felt a sudden surge of pain through my left arm.

'Well then, a broken arm and I crashed into a tree, not to mention how much farther I have to go to get ba....'

My thoughts were cut off by some yelling, I turned to see a silhouette not far, from what I could hear it was female, looking hunched over, although my vision was still very blurry and the rain felt like it was bombarding me like hail.

I listened closer and made out some words...

"...Hey! You over there.... are you alright? What was that, come here I'll help you!"

Deciding it would be best to get some help I began making my way over there, but what I began to see made me almost pass out.

"Hello? I need help, could you please bring me somewhere whe..."

I stopped talking when I began to see the silhouette taking the shape of what looked like a horse, so I turned around and started searching for where the voice came from, when I felt something grab my shirt and yell...

"STAY CLOSE, I'M SURE I CAN GET US BACK SOMEHOW"

So immediately I say "What? who are y...." Before I finish there is a blinding light, and everything around me begins to swirl and then goes black.

****************************

My eyelids feel very heavy and I try to open them then immediately shut them after being hit by sudden light.

'Thats... strange, wasn't it just storming'

Then... I hear voices.

"Ah' don't know twi, ah' aint never seen anything like this before"

'Twi... where have I heard that...'

"AJ, I heard it talk, it must be intelligent to some degree, and I don't think its hostile, it was asking for help when I found it, and besides, the spell said that it would-"

"Ah' know Twi, you have said it ah' hundred times, that riddle about it solving problems before they arise, but how th' hay does this thing solve ah' problem that has not even come up yet?"

'AJ... twi... now where the he... No. Fucking. Way.'

"Oh... my.... its hurt.... what should we do?"

"I don't know but I don't trust it, I say we throw it back where it came from"

"Rainbow, you know we cant do that, the spell backfired and sent me to that world, but wore off and brought me back and it with me, I still don't know why it chose it"

"OH OH I KNOW WE SHOULD HAVE SOME CELEBRATION! Like with balloons and streamers and punch and candy and more balloons and s...."

"That's enough pinkie!" 5 voices said in sync.

'Should I say something? Or just sit here, or just open my eyes...'

I open my eyes but this time slowly, and just enough to see what is going on, but keep me being awake a secret. What I saw almost made me black out... again... I could see 6 brightly colored ponies, and not just any ponies....

'I'll just sit here for a moment and see if I'm just going crazy'

"Oh dear... just look at its clothes, simply dreadful" Rarity....

"That's enough Rarity, although, with all these clothes, it must be intelligent, but is it a he or she?" said Twilight.

"How should I know Twi? your the smart one" Said Rainbow.

"Well we should check... if.. that's OK with you..." said Flutter shy.

'D'aaaaaaaaawww... wait... what?!'

"I guess your right, lets get the clothes off" said twilight.

'AW HELL NO!'

I jump strait up out of the bed I was laying on and become fully alert while shouting "You will NOT strip me of my clothes!" Before a huge surge of pain ripples throughout my body from my arm, causing me to fall to the ground out like a light, but not before I hear the sound of panic and disbelief.

***********************

I wake up an hour later in a familiar cottage on a couch with the smell of vegetable soup in the air. I see my arm is now fully functional, a bit sore, but working. So I slowly climb out of the bed and start making my way to the door. I can hear talking from the other room and it was the same voices.

"Well, I don't know why it would protect such clothes, they are hideous." said Rarity.

"Rarity, maybe it just did not want its clothes taken off." said Twilight.

"Well, if it wakes up again, one wrong move and BAM! I'm going to send it back to its world the hard way." Rainbow.

"Rainbow... don't be so hard on it, the trip may have been a little strange for it, I'm going to go check on it." ' Oh crap I have to leave.'

Before I can leave I hear a voice behind me, the same sweet voice that suggested my clothes being taken off.

"Oh, your awake, can you come and meet my friends... if that's OK with you..."

I grabbed the door handle before thinking twice... and made my decision, like, COME ON who can say no to that voice??

I slowly turn and look across the room to a bright yellow pegasus with a pink mane that she is standing behind, and then I let go of the handle and slowly started walking towards the next room, Flutter shy well ahead of me.

I kid you not, it was so silent when I walked into that room you could cut it with a spoon. I just stood there, with six pairs of eyes watching me. When one finally spoke up.

"Um... well, you can take a seat right across from me, I have some questions for you." Said Twilight.

I sat down at a large circle shaped table with 5 ponies while the 6th was hovering in the air, staring daggers at me.
It was quiet for what felt like hours when it was only a few minuets, finally Twilight speaks up.

"So, um, what are you anyway? I've never seen anything like you before, not even in the Everfree, I'm... wait, I should introduce myself, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends, Flutter shy, who you met when you woke up, Rarity, sitting next to me on my right, here is Applejack but we usually call her AJ, and here is Rainbow Dash wh..."

She was cut off by rainbow who quickly says,

"My name is rainbow dash and I have my eyes on you, don't try anything funny or I'll be there ready to take you down, alright?"

All I do is nod. Then I realize something,

"Uh... where is Pinkie?"

Twilight says, "Oh pinkie is right here behi... Pinkie! Get out of the fridge! I told you the cake is for later! Any way th.. wait.. how did you know her name was pinkie?"

'Oh shit, what do I do? Do I tell them about the show... or lie, thinkthinkthinkthink... AHA!'

"I.. uh.. um... I heard you say her name, when I was asleep... the first time.... when you wanted to ....take off my clothes...."

Twilight blushed brightly while saying, "Oh.. OK then, but that reminds me of another question... are.. you a... he or she?" she was blushing so bright she looked like she was a unicorn version of Big Mac.

I chuckle slightly at her reaction and answer "Well if you must know I am a he, a boy, and my name is Chris, Chris James, I am 19 years old and I have been magically sent to a different world by a unicorn, how is your life?"

Twilight paused for a moment before continuing,

"Well, uh, my name is Twil..."

I cut in "I was kidding about the how's your life thing, you don't have to restate your name, continue with the questions."

"Well, OK, um... Oh, what world are you from, like did I get you from, and why did I find you like that?" She asks, pointing at my sore arm.

"Well, the planet is named earth, and I was on my way to a place named Toronto from my families house because we were celebrating my birthday party..."

'Oh shit I said the p word.'

"OH OH OH YOU HAD A PARTY?! WHY WASN'T I INVITED? WAS IT FUN? MAYBE WE SHOULD THROW YOU A PARTY OH OH AND THERE WILL BE CAKE AND ICE CREAM A..."

Everyone including me shouts at the same time... "PINKIE!!"

"AND GAMES A....oh.. sorry, continue."

I clear my throat, "As I was saying, I was coming back from my birthday pa... celebration when a storm begun, and I was driving my car when I...."

I was cut off by Twilight saying, "Whats a car? Is it that weird cart I saw? Does it....."

So I cut back in "If you want me to answer questions, wait until I'm done to ask another." She nodded in agreement.

"SO as I was saying...." I then told them about the drive, the branch the crash, what a car was, thanked her for fixing my arm etc... and answered many other boring questions before I knew it, it was dark out.

So twilight said, "Wow, look at the time, we had better get going, I need to get up early tomorrow to study, and I have to send a letter to the princess, she will probably want to meet the first human in Equestria, well, bye everypony!"

Before I had a chance to say anything all the other ponies said their goodbye's and were out the door already, leaving me and Fluttershy in the house alone. Once again silence set in for what felt like hours, but probably wasn't, before I finally spoke up,

"Well... I had best be on my way and find somewhere to sleep tonight, bye Flutter shy." I said.

I begin to feel something hitting me in the foot...

"Angel, that's enough" said Flutter shy. I look down at the angry rabbit and smiled.

"Oh, and bye to you to angel." The bunny puts on a victorious look before hopping away.

I made my way to the door but get stopped by a very faint voice.

"Well.. um... you could stay here if you like..." She says softly.

"Fluttershy, you don't have to do that, I can find somewhere else to stay for the night." I said.

She then says, "I insist you stay here, it is very cold out tonight, and you could sleep on the couch, It's really not a bother."

And I got a triple dose of concentrated cuteness to the face when I turned and looked at her eye's, I mean REALLY how can you say no to that.

I let out a sigh, "Fine Fluttershy, I'll stay here, on one condition..."

She cocked her head slightly, "And what is that?"

"No more puppy dog eye's, that's cheating, I can't disagree with you on ANYTHING with those things." I say with a smile.

After a small laugh she flies up the stairs and grabs a few blankets and a pillow for me while I sleep on the couch.

"Thanks for everything shy, I'll see you in the morning" I say as she walks up the stairs.

She blushes and says, "O-oh..um..y-yes, goodnight Chris."

"Oh and shy... you can call me CJ, It's a nickname I got from high school that sort of just stuck."

"Oh, alright, goodnight CJ" She said continuing to ascend up the stairs.

After waving goodnight, I lay down on the couch and shut my eyes, thinking about all the problems in my life that are no longer present, not realizing how tired I was I fell asleep almost immediately. Then come the next morning I wake up to three pairs of unnaturally big eyes staring down at me with huge curious smiles.

So? What did you guys think? It's my first chapter on my first Fic, and I want some suggestions on how I could improve this or any ideas. I'm also open to people who maybe want to have their own character put in the story. Let me know what you all think in the comments! Also, let me know if I should make my chapters smaller, bigger, etc, or if this is a good size for chapters!

Makeing more friends

I have something big planed for the future until then enjoy the new chapter

Chapter 2: Making new friends

I slowly began to awake from the sleep because of the pressure on my chest. Slowly I open my eyelids and came face to face with three large pairs of eyes. They then began to shout in perfect sync.

"IT'S AWAKE! IT'S AWAKE!"

My reaction...

"WhaaadaFUUUCK!"

Before toppling over the side of the couch and landing face first on the ground, but not before hearing a lot of laughter and a heavenly sent in the air. Deciding I should look at what had been watching me sleep for god knows how long, I lift my head from it's resting place on the ground. What I see is worse than Fluttershy's puppy dog eyes.

I see 3 small fillies, looking up at me, all wide eyed and looking like they are scared out of their minds. Behind them was Fluttershy who was failing to hold in all of her laughter. So I decide the best thing to do was to introduce myself. (Try to anyway)

"...Uh.. hi, my name is Chris, but yo...."

I was cut off with the 3 fillies screaming in unison something about their backside being gobbled and bolted out the door. I sat their dumbstruck for a bit.

'Now, did I do something wrong or...'

Then Fluttershy said, "Oh don't worry about them, they cant be brave all the time, unlike me on the other hand."

I raised an eyebrow at that as she turned around and I kicked the nearest ball (must have been an animal toy) and it was sent across the room, hitting a wall and slowly rolling, touching Fluttershy's left hind leg, causing her to let out an "Eep!" and flew strait up and held on to the ceiling. I was not laughing, more along the lines of thinking,

'Now... how the HELL does she stay attached to the ceiling like that, if it was pinkie I would understand, but she is not even flapping her wings, you know what, things will happen here I wont get, so might as well go along with them'

As I saw Fluttershy descend towards the ground trying to hide her crimson face behind her mane, she slowly walked to the stove continuing to cook something. Feeling a bit guilty I spoke up.

"Shy... I was kidding, and you can be very brave, like that time you stood up to the dragon and saved all of your friends." I froze instantly, realizing what I just said.

'Crap, maybe she won't notice that I somehow knew that'

"Ya, I guess your right..."

She let out a content sigh and smiled at me before continuing her cooking, where I made a sigh of relief, then my blood ran cold as I heard a motherly voice say,

"Now how would you know about that little human?"

I slowly turned in place, to see a huge alicorn looking at me and smiling, I just sat there mouth wide open in shock and disbelief. I know she looked cool, but being in front of the REAL thing, it was very intimidating. When I finally found my voice I managed to say something along the lines of this,

"Well, uh, I... uh.... you see-"

She cut in laughing, "Its alright, I already know everything, we can get to that at another time." She smiled and laughed slightly.

'Fuckin' Trollestia is real, just my luck'

I turned back to Fluttershy who was on the ground, and after a moment I realized and yelled,

"OH SHIT"

And hit the floor, fast. I felt a weird feeling surround me for a moment as I began to float. Celestia was using her magic while still in a laughing fit, she then calmed down a bit and spoke up.

"You are not a pony, and not an official citizen, therefore do not have to bow.... yet."

I nodded and walked forward, sticking out my hand, she stuck out her hoof and we shook.

"My name is Chris James, but you can call me CJ." I said with a smile.

Celestia responded, "Alright, my name is Princess Celestia, just call me Tia, its what Luna calls me."

I chucked while I thought to my self.

'Dayum, those Fics nailed that name'

She spoke up, "That they did CJ."

'Oh, hi Tia I can see you read minds too, this is gonna suck'

"Meh" is all she has to say.

We both shared a laugh while Fluttershy had a very confused face on. I turned and mouthed the words, 'I'll tell you later' she nodded and went back to the kitchen.

"Oh, that reminds me, lunch is almost done." Said Fluttershy.

'Ah, good I'm really h- wait... lunch???'

Celestia spoke up, "Yes CJ, lunch, it is past 12 now, you slept quite a while."

'Tia please stop reading my mind, it feels.... weird'

"In time young one, but for now on to greater matters, please follow me." I walked over to her and she stood there as if scanning me, and spoke towards Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy, I need to borrow your friend, he wont be back for lunch, but I will get him something to eat along the way."

I heard Fluttershy respond as she walked out of the kitchen, "O-oh, OK Celestia..."

She waved goodbye and flew back to the kitchen, I was kinda sad because the food smelled so good, but I could always get food here another day.

**********************************

Celestia spoke up as we walked through town.

"Now, you should be fine around town, I told everypony about you, and that you will be staying with us for the time being, but it's up to you to make friends with them."

I nodded and she pointed at a familiar looking gingerbread house.

'Hm, pinkie is still a wild card but what the hell, I mean hay, I got to get used to the equestrian language'

Celestia let out a small laugh

"Ya ya miss mind reader, laugh it up, but... that pinkie scares me... all those videos of cupca... I mean..."

Celestia gave me a quizzical look.

"Uh.... never mind that, I'll tell you later"

She nodded and I let out a sigh of relief. I walked up to the door and slowly opened it, and saw it was pitch black.

'Hm, why does this setting seem so fami-.. Oh.Fuck.Me.'

"SURPRISE!"

I jumped up and flew to the ground holding my chest making sure my heart was beating, and still in the same place, before looking at all the guests at the party staring at me, giving questionable looks. A certain pink pony appears beside me seemingly out of nowhere.

"Awesome surprise huh? Were you surprised?? Were ya? Huh huh huh? I made us cake and cupcakes and-"

I cut her off by covering her mouth with my hand.

"Pinkie, enough"

She nodded and went off to the crowd who had dissipated from a group to pairs of 2-3 ponies talking, some mumbling something under their breath as I passed, but I just smiled and went on.

Then, someone bumped into me and something in my pocket started vibrating, I reached in and pulled out.. my I-pod?

'Dear god how long has that been there'

I turned it on and began playing some music, dubstep to be exact. I sat down at a nearby table before getting a feeling of two pairs of eyes staring at me, but I noticed one right away, which was making it's way to me and sat next to me, it was Rainbow.

"Hey, I just wanted to say sorry for last night, I was kinda on edge, with you being a new creature and all, but if Celestia likes you, so do I." She said over the music.

We both smiled and shook our hooves/hands.

"No problem... call me CJ, I like it more than Chris."

She nodded and said, "Call me dash, and by the way, whats that in your ears?"

I pulled out the earphone.

"It's an earphone, attached to my I-pod. Remember how I said Humans were a lot more technologically advanced than ponies?"

She nodded so I continued, "Well, this here can hold thousands of songs, and these here," I pointed to the earphones, "Is where the music gets played from, want to hear some? I can show you some dubstep."

She said Ok so I put on some dubstep, and she just sat there for a moment.

"Wow... that's awesome! That's neat how you can hold songs like that."

I nodded and said, "Ya, but the battery is at half and if it dies I'm not sure I can charge it..."

She looked around for a moment then looks back to me.

"After the party go to Twilight's, maybe she can do something." She said.

She smiled one more time before walking away. I sat there for a moment longer.

'Mmk... I made friends with Fluttershy, and dash, now for the rest, then the town, but for now, lets enjoy a damn party'

***************************

After the party finished, I left the ginger bread house, followed by a bouncing pink pony.

"Wow! That was like, a super-terrific party because you were there and I was like 'Hey we made this party for you!' And you were all like, 'Wow thanks Pink-' "

I cut her off mid sentence saying, "Pinkie! Yes, it was fun, but I need some sleep, that party went on for a long time and it's already night out, and I forgot to ask the Princess about where I'll be staying...." Pinkie nodded and bounced off.

'I guess I'll go see Twilight, maybe she can help me with power problems'

As I walked towards the library that was actually quite close, I could still feel a pair of Golden yellow eyes watching me, I brushed off the feeling and continued to walk, before being tackled by a very happy looking pony with a smile so big it rivaled that of pinkies.

The truth

I hope you all enjoy this chapter, I wanted to get this out there so decided 2 chapters today is fine, already hatching ideas for future chapters enjoy!

Chapter 3: The truth

I sat there staring at the eyes in complete shock, after what felt like hours of silence, the pony finally spoke up. "Hi! My name is Lyra!" The pony said.

I just sat there, a little shaken up by the sudden surprise.

'Pinkie aint got nothing on her'

So I spoke up too. "Uh... hi Lyra? My name is CJ... and could you get off my chest, or at least stop bouncing...."

She stopped bouncing and looked at me before smiling and saying OK and getting off me. I got up and looked at her but before I could speak, she began speaking again.

"Your a human right? OhmygoshOhmygosh! Finally! Nopony ever believed me and now I can prove you're real to everypony!" She said at Pinkie speed, while still bouncing.

"Uh... OK... that sounds fun and all, but I'm a little busy, we can do this another time, okay?"

I turned around to leave but was stopped by her voice.

"But... I finally have a chance to show everypony but you won't let me..." She said in a sad tone.

I sighed and crouched down to eye level with her.

"Listen I know your happy and all about seeing a human, but can it wait? Because I have some important things to ask twilight." She nodded and began to walk away with her head down, feeling guilty I decided to make it up to her.

"Hey, how about sometime tomorrow I meet you at sugarcube corner and I can answer some of your questions?" I asked.

She twirls around with a smile on her face. "That would be awesome! Thanks!"

For some reason Iy felt like I would regret this, but, meh I'll deal with it later.

'Now, to ask Twilight some questions that have been in my head since I got here'

I walked forward and knocked on the door, a few moments later a purple dragon opened the door and froze, after a few seconds slammed the door and started screaming something about a bald diamond dog wanting to eat his brain...

'I don't look that bad... do I? Well, I could use a shower....'

The door opened revealing a Twilight who's face was buried in a book and looked up for a moment to see me.

"Ah, Chris, come on in... one second... SPIIIIIKE GET DOWN HERE!"

I walked in and looked around. The library looked even better in person, so many books, but the strangest part, none of them were on the shelves. They were all scattered about the floor.

'Huh, I thought she was always organized'

Then I saw spike whip past me and behind Twilight, who just rolled her eyes and picked up spike and sat him in front of me.

"Uh... hi?" I said slowly.

That's all it took for him to fall over and go out like a light.

"Uh... did I do something wrong..."

Twilight groaned and threw her book into the pile with the rest.

"No, I have been so busy looking for answers in this library I forgot to tell him about you... heh, sorry."

I responded "It's alright, I have a few questions for you anyway, I have been wanting to ask them since I got here."

She looked at me strangely

"Why didn't you say something while we were at Fluttershy's then?"

"Well, with all of the questions YOU were asking, do you really think I could have even asked one?" I said, raising an eyebrow. She blushed and nodded, and walked to a table and sat down, I followed suite.

"So, what are your questions?" She asked with a bit on interest.

'Where to start, I'll just start with the simplest'

I pull out my I-pod and ask, "This has a limited battery life, like an electrical charge that is dieing, do you think there is a way I can charge it?"

She stood there for a moment, and then her horn began to glow, so did the I-Pod. When she was done, she smiled and put on a look that would make Rainbow's ego look like Fluttershy's.

"There, it shouldn't lose its charge anymore." She stated.

I was waiting for the reason why but it never came.

"Uh, Twi, care to tell me how?"

She looked confused for a moment then went back to smiling.

"Oh, right, you don't know about magic, I simply made it so it absorbs the magic energy around it, like us unicorns do to give us our power." She smiled and gave a look that said something along the lines of... Duh... its obvious.

I rolled my eyes and said, "OK, next question, this one is a bit important, WHY did you bring me here in the first place.... like... I shouldn't even have to ask, I expected you to tell me but you never did."

She sat there for a moment in deep thought and then looked at me, her smile gone.

"Well, I'm not really sure, the spell I cast was still in testing phase, and it is supposed to point us to the solution of our problems, all we have to do is take a hold of the chance." She took a breath and continued, "Why it picked you, I'm not sure, that's what we are trying to figure out." She pointed to all of the scattered books. I nodded.

"But... Twi, what do you mean we?"

"I meant me and the Princesses, they don't even know why, They did tell me that if the spell drew enough power to pull something from a separate world, then it must be for something important." She said bringer her hoof to her chin.

"Any idea's at all what this 'Important' thing is?" I asked, wanting a good answer.

"Sadly, the only clue that I could find was the voice I heard while being transported and the name that was given."

"What did the voice say?" I said interested.

She took a shaky breath and spoke, "Well, when it spoke, it sounded like it was not talking to me or knew I was there, I could just hear the words. They were talking about how this could have happened, why they came here, and if it is worth their time."

'Hm... well, I guess my stay in equestria is not going to be all sunshine and rainbows after all.'

"Well, what about the name?" I asked, hoping I would be able to make something out of it.

What I heard drained the blood from my face and almost made me collapse in fear....

*Gasp* what could it be??? Come next chapter you will find out, leave any ideas you want me to add to this, and if you want, you can even request having a character put in under a name you choose etc... a little shorter then the other 2, but to make up for it, I'll make the next chapter a lot longer! If you want me to keep going, leave a fav, and I'll see all of you in chapter 4!

A troubled past

Here is the chapter you have been waiting for, I'm not going to stall with a intro, so, enjoy! Oh, a heads up, the ------ means past memories

Chapter 4: A troubled past

That name hit me like a brick wall and made my face pale, and my body shake. I have always dreaded that name since it appeared to me that one night.

I ran for what felt like hours, unable to escape his maniac laughter, and always seemed to be within the shadow he cast, I tried to run faster, but just felt like all of my attempts were in vain. I felt like I was trying to run through molasses with weights on my ankles. But I dare not stop, I just kept running and running trying to get to my home that seemed just out of reach, before I felt something cold on my chest, I began to lose all feeling, and then he appeared in front of me, his sickening smile plastered on his face, he walked strait up to my face and said in a rasp voice....

"CJ!!!!!!!" Twilight yelled at the top of her lungs.

I snap out of the trance I was in and looked at a very concerned Twilight.

"CJ, what's wrong, does the name mean anything to you?" She asked, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Oh.. no... I mean... I'm sorry Twilight, I just want to be alone right now." I began making my way to the door and was stopped by a purple unicorn who appeared in front of me with a flash.

"Oh no you don't, you're not telling me something, I know that look, now, what does this name mean to you?"

"Twilight I don't wa-"

Twilight interrupts with another question, "And why did you go into such deep thought back there?"

"Listen I don't-"

"And why did you look like you knew who it was, I want answers."

"Twilight! I don't want to talk about it, so just leave me alone."

She sighed and said, "CJ I can help with whatever your dealing with, I can understand how you feel If you could just-"

I cut her off and began to shout, "NO TWILIGHT! You could NOT POSSIBLY understand what I went through with him, all the pain and suffering, you could not even IMAGINE what he put me through, you have no FUCKING idea!"

Twilight was shocked by the sudden outburst and was a little scared now, she could see the anger in my dim crimson lit eye's.

"So go back to whatever the HELL you do around here and just LEAVE ME ALONE" I slammed my foot into the ground where it made a few cracks on the wooden floor.

Twilight, still shocked and on the verge of tears, just sat there and said nothing.

The fire in my eye's slowly withered away and became blue again, I sighed and said, "I-I'm sorry... I have to go...."

Without another word I left the library and walked the dark streets of ponyville alone. Then I heard some faint laughter and decided I should go look. There was two ponies, pegasus to be exact, backing another pony into the corner in the alleyway. I sat and listened to what was going on.

One pony spoke up, "Come on hoops lets just take the stuff and leave." He was dark brown with a gray colored mane.

Then the other said, "Dumb-bell you idiot, you really just told her my name?" This one was orange with a brown mane.

"You just told her mine too idiot!" Yelled Dumb-bell.

"Oh, well, we can't have her going and telling anypony about this... can we?" Hoops let out a small chuckle.

"I'm with ya..." Agreed Dumb-bell.

At that moment a knife appeared in Hoops mouth, and they started to walk towards her.

'That's it I've had enough'

I step out from behind the wall I was standing and yell to them.

"HEY WORM FUCKS!"

That was more than enough to get their attention on me. Hoops yelled back.

"WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT"

I yelled back at them, "I did, and if you lay a finger on her I will rip you in two."

They both laughed and continued what they were doing, I saw them stab her in the left hind leg as she let out a scream of pain.

Everything went red and I spoke with a deeper then usual voice. "Wrong. fucking. move."

Before they could turn around I ran up and grabbed the shocked Dumb-bell by the back of the neck and threw him against the wall. I felt a slight pinch on the right of my thigh, I turned to see Hoops holding a bloody knife in his mouth, now scared out of his mind, he began to run.

I grabbed him by his tail and slowly brought him closer to me, and said in a deep voice.

"Your lucky you don't have fingers to lay on her." I said deeply, chuckling to my self.

With a sinister smile creeping over my face I grabbed the knife from him, and stuck it in his hind leg, and picked him up and threw him into the other pony who was still dazed and knocked him out like a light.

After a few moments I heard a voice say, "Um.. sir, I wanted to say tha..." She was cut off when I turned to look at her, and she saw the red in my eye's, a few moments later, I felt a sharp pain in my thigh, and began to lose consciousness. But not before hearing a deep, familiar voice laugh and say words that made me shudder.

'Gooood... very gooood...'

*****************************

I woke up in a cold sweat and a surge of pain shot through my left thigh. I looked to see it all bandaged. When I finally looked around, I froze. 6 ponies were there, talking to a doctor and then stopped to look at me. I was the first to speak up.

"Uh... whats going on? Where am I?"

The doctor said, "Your in the hospital, you were stabbed and rushed here late last night."

I thought for a moment. "H-how did you find me?"

The doctor stepped aside to reveal a yellow pony with a orange mane and a bandaged leg looking at me with a smile that seemed to brighten me up.

She then said, "Hi, my name is Carrot top, and I wanted to say thank you! If you had not shown up...." She trailed off, and I simply nodded.

"It's alright, I was just trying to help."

I stuck out my hand and she shook it as I continued.

"My name is CJ, It's nice to meet you Carrot top."

She smiled and agreed, and left the room saying something about having to get home and explain the story to someone.

When she left I saw all eye's on me, and some close to tears.

"Uh, did i miss something?"

"What were you THINKING? you could have been KILLED!" Twilight shouted causing me to flinch.

"T-the d-doctor said that y-you lost a lot of b-blood... and you were lucky to even l-last the n-night..." Fluttershy sputtered out, on the verge of tears.

"If I had done nothing, then that pony may not be around anymore!" I said in a loud and agitated tone.

"Ah' know sugercube, but y'all need to be more careful." Said AJ Lowering her hat.

Then, I could feel a familiar voice in my head, and with every word it made the pain I already have intensify.

'Heheheh... they don't even care about others, they are just greedy. You shouldn't be here with them, they never do anything to help you, they do not deserve to live, they do not deserve to breath....'

"CJ??" Said Fluttershy looking a bit worried. "I-Is something wrong?"

"No.... everything is fine...." I say barely audible, with that same sickening laugh echoing throughout my mind.

"Just...Fine..."

I know some of you are thinking, 'this is not very long of a chapter' But, reason is, I cut it in half to give you some of it early, better then waiting a lot longer? The next half will be out a bit later

Accepted

Not really much else to say but, ENJOY

Chapter 5: Accepted

I took in a deep breath while leaving the hospital.

'I don't think I have ever breathed such clean air...'

I decided to take a walk around town, get my mind off things, along the way a lot of ponies were watching me, some with scared faces, some with smiles, I could even hear them muttering things along the lines of,

"I heard he beat them both up and killed one with a knife"

"I heard that Carrot top is planing something to thank him"

I just kept walking, ignoring the stares.

'Never get a break, always being stared at.. first Lyra the... oh SHIT!'

I ran faster than I have ever ran before towards sugarcube corner.

'If I know one thing from fics back on earth, as a human, do NOT piss off Lyra'

When I finally made it to the nice gingerbread house I walked inside and saw Lyra sitting at a table, looking VERY impatient. I looked at the time, I was a half an hour late. I made my way to the table to sit down, along the way her gaze fell on me and I could feel them on me like icy beams.

(What was running through my mind at the moment, this image, a chainsaw, and a lot of blood, oh, and my face that was scared shitless)

I sat down and looked at her, she has not stopped staring at me like that since I walked in. I began to sweat and become worried as she sat there, not moving, not blinking, honestly, I was more scared now than any moment of my life. Just before I couldn't take it anymore...

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!.....y-y-you should have seen your FACE! BAHAHA PRICELESS"

As she laughed her flank off I sat there in a slight daze...

'Lyra... that was nowhere near fucking funny...OK maybe a little....'

When she finally calmed down she got up and sat back down at the chair looked at me smiling.

"It's alright, I heard what happened and how you were at the hospital, I just thought giving you the thought that I went full cupcakes on you would be funny, and it was a lot better than I thought!"

'Ya ya laugh it up we'll see who will ha...wait... cupcakes.... how the... no way, were the fics right... did she actually used to be human????'

I decided to let that comment slip and bring it up at a later time, as for right now, I had some questions to answer to a troll of a Lyra. Pinkie brought over some cupcakes and Lyra thanks her and gave her some bits, at that moment, I realized two things.

1) I am SO hungry i could eat a hor.....cupcake.....

2) I need a job.....

Lyra handed me a cupcake and I took a bite, and dear god... the taste was unlike anything you could imagine. It was so good that I had not realized I finished it and bit one of my fingers causing Lyra to burst out laughing again. I just rolled my eyes and took another cupcake.

"So... you wanted to um... ask me some questions? About humans?" I said between mouthfuls of cupcake.

'I don't care about that cupcakes fic anymore, these cupcakes are too damn good'

"Yes, I just wanted to ask, what is your world like? How much different is it from this?" She said looking very curious.

I looked at her and said, "It depends on how you look at things, it is a lot different than this world, no magic, we cannot fly, well, not without machines, and from what I have seen, this world does not have any machines in it at all... yet...."

I told her about our advancements in technology and about human life and all that good stuff, then I told her about the weapons, I could see it in her eyes that it was just plain horrible what humans do. I told her about the advancements in nuclear technology and what it's combined power on earth could do. She and I shuddered thinking about it. We talked more about humans and I asked a lot of questions about ponies as well. Before we knew it, it was already around 3 pm (I arrived at 11 am). So I decided to say goodbye and start looking around for where I could possibly find a job.

Just as I leave I get tackled by a greyish mare with blond hair and crooked eyes. I instantly realize who this is, before I say anything, she speaks up.

"Hi! My name is Ditzy Doo, I'm a friend of Carrot top and I heard what you did, I came to give you these as thanks!" She reached out her hoofs which were holding a brown bag, I took the bag and opened it revealing a couple chocolate chip muffins. I turned to her and smiled.

"Thanks Ditzy, my name is CJ." I said shaking her hoof.

"Your welcome, and if there is anything you need help with, let me know!"

I thought to myself for a moment and then got an idea.

"Hey Ditzy, do you think you could help me with finding a job somewhere around town? I need to start making money somehow."

She thought for a moment and smiled.

"Yes, I can, we are looking for some help at the post, maybe you can get a job there!"

"Really? That's great! Whats the job?"

Ditzy smiles and says, "We need help moving all of the big heavy boxes around in the building, we don't have anypony to help us with it and its tough, us pegasus are to light to push them around."

I thought for a moment and smiled, "That sounds great, I need the workout anyway, ever since I came here I Haven't been moving around much lately."

"Great, come by tomorrow and we will get you set up!" She smiled and flew up into the air.

I smiled as she bounced off a tree branch and then said something about moving trees. I went to walk away when I heard a motherly voice behind me.

"I see you are beginning to fit in around here." Celestia said sarcastically, looking at the bandages.

"Oh.. those, I can explain.. I was running a-" I was cut off by her putting her hoof up.

"It's fine, I heard what happened, and I came to say thank you for helping one of my little ponies in need." She ended that comment with a smile.

Then she continued, "Please, walk with me to the center of the town, I have something to show you." I nodded and followed close behind, getting some looks as we passed by other ponies. When we got to the location I noticed a large stage, I followed Celestia behind it and she stopped and looked at me.

"Now, stay here behind the stage until I call for you." I nodded, still a bit confused.

She went up the stairs on the side of the stage behind the curtain, which then opened showing Celestia standing with the mayor. A crowd of ponies formed and listened to Celestia speak.

**************

"...And for his heroic actions I present to you the newest citizen of ponyville, Chris James!" I heard some noise which I guessed was the stomping of hooves against the ground as I walked onto the stage and looked at all the ponies. Everything was silent for a while until a pony yelled something to the crowd.

"That's the one who saved Carrot top!"

Then the rest of the ponies began cheering, When it died down, I was hoping my red face did as well. I looked at Celestia who continued her speech.

"And my young student Twilight Sparkle has requested that you may stay at the library in a spare room while we construct a new house for which you to stay, all we need to know is where you want to be?"

I thought about it for a while and made up my mind.

"Celestia, I would like to live near the everfree, near Fluttershy's house." I said without a hint of doubt in my tone.

Celestia looked a bit confused and then said, "But, why there?"

I looked at her and smiled. "Because, I have always loved helping animals and know a thing or two about healthcare, I suppose I could help Fluttershy now and again." Celestia smiled, obviously pleased with the answer.

I look at Celestia again who looks back at me.

'And since I'm near the forest, I can get to Zecora easily and ask her important questions as well'

After that thought Celestia nodded and smiled.

********************

Been a week since the citizenship thing and the house has one more week until completion.

'Dayum those ponies work fast'

But, I cant get the thought out of my head that somehow moving into my new home is going to be an adventure all in itself.

********************

Move in day, I was able to get a lot of items to add to the house thanks to all the money I have been earning from the job I got at the post. While setting up my belongings, my vision got very blurry and my eyelids got heavy. I decided to finish unpacking tomorrow and just go to bed, and the moment I touched that pillow against my head, I dozed off, but not before a haunting image burns itself into my mind and echos a laugh throughout my head. Then, once again, I find myself running for my life, running from fear itself, running for my sanity....

Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and looking forward to the next!

Moving in

I can't seem to stop making chapters, its possessing me! HELP! Well now that's out of the way, I hope you enjoy this new chapter of mine! And I hope it strikes your funny bone!

Chapter 6: Moving in

I woke up screaming and sweating in the daylight that was shining through my window. After calming down and looking around I see a very scared Fluttershy close to the ground. I sit there for a moment before speaking up.

"Shy? What are you doing here? Are you alright?"

She looked up and pulled me into a hug, at first this startled me but I realized something must have scared her, when she let go she looked at me and forced a smile while blushing like mad.

"O-oh... sorry... I-I just came here in the morning to help you unpack because you were so close to my house... and you were still sleeping, I went to leave when... you started shouting, and started sweating badly."

She took a deep breath already mostly calmed and continued.

"And.... I tried to calm you down, but you just started screaming and moving, and started to scare me.... so I... I just lay down... to scared to help..."

I looked at her and smiled

"Shy, It's alright, see? I'm fine, there is nothing to be scared of." She smiled and nodded and got up and walked with me back down the stairs to the first floor where all the boxes where.

My new house was two floors, on the first floor there was a living room and a bit farther forward a kitchen. to the right of the living room was a set of stairs to the second floor. At the top of the stairs was a large sized room with a bed, on the right wall of the room was a door leading to the bathroom. Not bad for a free house if you ask me.

I looked to Flutter shy who looked at me and smiled and I put on a curious face.

"What...what is it?"

She turned and whistled and a bunch of animals came flooding in and began opening boxes and taking things out. Within 2 minutes the whole house was set up and the boxes were all empty. I just sat there awestruck with my jaw on the floor. Meanwhile Fluttershy was laughing her flank off. After a little while she calmed down and all the animals had left.

"Shy.... that was awesome..." She just sat there and smiled.

I thought to myself what was missing, and then it clicked. I looked at Fluttershy and winked, she was staring at me with curiosity, then, before she could say anything, I said the magic words.

"Wow! I'm already moved in! Do you know what this calls for? A PA-" I was cut off by a pink pony bursting out of the kitchen holding a canon ready to fire and yelled.

"A PARTY!"

I looked at pinkie and smiled as she shot her cannon all over the house throwing up streamers and balloons, Fluttershy just sat there in a daze before mumbling out a few words.

"B-B-But...h-how? S-She just... and the k-kitchen...a-and th-" I cut her off by saying "Shy, It's Pinkie, remember?"

She thought about that for a moment and then nodded and smiled. Within the next few minutes all of my friends appeared at my house for the party. I decided I should talk to them for a while, I haven't spent much time with some of them. I walked up to AJ who was with her brother, I introduced myself to Big Mac and turned to AJ.

"Hey AJ! Whats up? It's been a while!" She gave me a smile and agreed.

"Ya'know, If you ever need help around the farm, I would be more than happy to help."

She looked at me and thought for a moment.

"Its fine CJ we are doing great!" She said with a forced smile.

"AJ, you are the worst liar I have ever seen." I chuckled along with Big Mac who spoke up.

"That she is, an' yes, we would love it if y'all could help us out tomorrow, it would really speed things up if somepony... er... human... could help us carry the baskets away while we buck the trees." Big mac said with a scared look as AJ stared him down.

"I would be happy to help Big Mac! I'll see you tomorrow!" Big Mac smiled and showed me when the scheduled time was to start the job.

When I was done speaking to AJ and Big Mac, I walked over to where Rarity was and smiled at her.

"Hi Rarity, I wanted to ask you for something."

She looked up at me and put on a smile that I could tell was one she probably practiced in front of a mirror.

"Oh, really? Well what would you need darling?"

I looked at her and pointed to my clothes, very old looking, dirty and torn, and looked back at her.

"I was wondering if you could fix these up for me and make me some new clothes? I have the money to pay for them now."

She smiled even brighter, "I would love to! I'll get started on them first thing tomorrow, they should be done in three days. Your old clothes, hm, maybe an hour or so, just stop by and I will work on the clothes then and you can stay untill they finish."

I looked at her and smiled at how organized this all was...

'Did she plan this?... NAWWWWW'

I walked away and saw Rainbow over by the punch. I walked over to her and picked up a cup and scooped up some punch.

"Hey, been a while huh?"

She looked up and gave me a light punch on the arm, "Yup, good to see ya again dude! You have to try this punch, its awesome!"

I looked at the punch in my hands, and took a drink, it was great, but I could taste something else in it as well. I looked at Rainbow and raised an eyebrow.

"Dash, why does this punch taste.... weird...?"

She rolled her eye's and said, "Duh... It's Pinkies special party punch."

I stared at her for a few moments, then my eye's went wide.

"OHHH... I see what you mean heh..."

I looked at rainbow dash who had finished a cup and began to sway a bit, I held her upright and asked,

"Uh, dash, how much did you drink...."

"Uh...... One cu*HIC*cup, I think?" I face palmed so hard.

"Itsh not liek yo*HIC*you could do any betsher." She slurred out.

I laughed and downed a cup, no effect on me whatsoever, I looked at Dash who was wide eyed and ran and got her friends to watch me do it again. I grabbed another cup and downed it with still no effect. I don't remember what happened but I remember cheering... Lots of punch bowl refills, and a lot of trips to the bathroom.

************************

The next morning, I woke up with a pounding headache, and I couldn't even open my eye's, so I just lay there for a moment before I began to notice the breathing on my left arm. I slowly opened my eyes to see FlutterShy curled up a bit hugging my arm... next to me..... asleep....

'Okay, don't panic... its normal to wake up with a hangover... in bed with someone.... who is curled up to you.... that is a pony.... oh I am so FUCKED!'

The hangover

I have been tearing through chapters pretty fast, at this rate ill be at chapter 32 by tomorrow.... well anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the others!

Chapter 7: The hangover

I sat there for a moment trying to figure out how to handle the situation. I thought out a clever plan in my head that went something like this.

'I place a feather on her nose and when she reaches to itch it I remove my arm. I get dressed in my dashing tux and go over to Twilight's where I tell her that Fluttershy had over-powered her brain with books before bed, and passed out on my bed. Using Twilight's magic, I would then bring her to the Everfree forest where I would travel for a few hours after giving a sleeping potion to Fluttershy that I got from Zecora after telling her that Fluttershy could not sleep and was knocked out when a book hit her in the head. After giving her the potion, and traveling for two hours through the Everfree I exit unharmed with Twilight and Fluttershy. We then sneak over to Fluttershy's house and we climb to the roof where we enter through her top window and place her in the bed. We shut the window and make our way down stairs in a manner so ninja I cant tell you about it, where we finally leave the house through a unlocked front door in which both me and Twilight both facepalm/hoof and go back home and never speak a word of this again'

I smiled happily with my new plan, and leaned to the right falling off the bed with a loud bang and yelling,

"FUCK THAT HURT!"

FlutterShy jumped out of the bed and looked around, her face changed from shock to calm. So, I did the only natural thing anyone would do at that point.... panic. I began to calm down when I saw Fluttershy laughing her flank off. I just sat there like a person would when they don't get a joke that is to advanced for them. When she calmed down she looked at me and smiled.

"Uh.. Shy... how can you be laughing at a time like this..."

She puts on a confused look. "Uh.. Time like what? The morning?"

I just said nothing and stared at her, she looked around and went wide eyed before... you guessed it, fell down laughing.

'WhadaaaFUUUCK is so FUNNY!'

When she calmed down she looked right at me and said, "S-s-so y-you think w-we...?" I nodded and she just burst out laughing AGAIN.

"I-I-I guess y-you were REALLY d-d-drunk to not remember..."

I sat there for a while watching her laugh before she finally spoke again.

"You were REALLY drunk, Rainbow told you that for every bowl of punch you finished she would give you 10 bits."

I just stared at her before I heard some clinging sounds, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a very large bag and dumped it all over the floor. Not sure how many bits there were but there were well over a hundred.

"Uh... Shy... How much did I drink last night...."

"Uhhhh.... around 37 or 38 bowls I think? You wouldn't stop, you just kept saying it wasn't effecting you at all."

"Uh.. OK wow, but... why did I wake up with you in bed...." I blushed so brightly I could feel the air get warmer around me.

"Well, you were so drunk I helped you up to your room and got you in bed, I didn't want you to have another nightmare, so I decided to stay, and in the morning help you with your hangover, not even YOU could not have one after that." She chuckled and walked out of the room and I just sat there wondering how dumb I looked.

Before long I could smell a lovely pancakes scent in the air with a hint of blueberry's. I stumbled down the stairs then into the kitchen, and sat at a table and started rubbing my temples.

After breakfast I stepped outside to breath the air, along with having to live with a headache today, I had a long day ahead of me. I let out a long drawn out sigh and walked towards Ponyville.

Well I hope it got a good laugh out of you, I laughed pretty hard writing the beginning! This chapter is short because I cut it in half, so the next chapter will be short as well, so see you all next chapter!

'Hanging' with friends

No intro sorry :(

Chapter 8: 'Hanging' with friends

I got to the farm on time and began helping pick up the baskets and move them out for new ones. We got done in 2 Hours what usually takes them 5. I guess working at the post has built me up quite a lot of muscle. I waved goodbye and began walking towards Rarity's. When I got there I knocked and heard a sing along voice shout out.

"COOOMIIIIIING!"

'She has no idea what she just sounded like does she'

A few moments later the door opened and the white unicorn smiled at me and motioned for me to come in. I walked in and took a seat on the couch and she walked over there and stared at me, after a moment she rolled her eyes.

"Well?"

I was confused. "Well what?"

"Take off your clothes so I can work on them!"

I blushed brightly before saying, "Uh... Rarity, is there any way I could give you the clothes and stay... you know... in a private room?"

She narrowed her eyes. "What ever for dear?"

I rolled my eyes and whispered into her ear, and her face went deep crimson as she sputtered out, "O-O-Oh.. y-yes, come over to the b-bathroom and hand me your clothes t-then..." I nodded and followed her to her bathroom.

I stepped in, closed the door, removed all my clothes and got a tower which I wrapped around my waist. I opened the door and stepped out and handed the clothes to Rarity who picked them up magically.

"Oh, and be a dear and take a shower, you seem like you need one."

I gave her a look but then smiled and agreed... It has been a WHILE since my last shower, I turned to go into the bathroom where my towel got caught on the handle and pulled off, without thinking, I turned around and picked up the towel, and looked up after hearing an "Eeep!" and saw Rarity standing there blushing.

"OH SHIT"

I dove into the bathroom and slammed the door and waited for a moment to think of how I should go about what just happened. Then I heard an embarrassed Rarity on the other side.

"Oh....my....w-well then... I g-guess I-I'll just be...u-um..... uh....the..uh...CLOTHES! Y-Yes the clothes, I...uh...bye!"

I heard her gallop away from the door while I sat there thinking to myself, no good can come from this at all.

*********************

After an awkward conversation with Rarity and getting my clothes back I decided to go and sit down and relax. I headed over to sugarcube corner where a huge lineup was going out the door onto the road. I walked up and went past everyone getting a few angry stares from a few but after telling them I was just going to sit at a table they just smiled and stopped paying attention to me.

I sat down at a table and pulled out my I-Pod and put it on shuffle, put in one earphone and sat there, waiting for something to happen that I know will and break me out of my relaxed mode. But nothing ever did. The only thing that bugged me was the stares from other ponies and some mumbling from a few of them that went something like this.

"Yup, she saw EVERYTHING"

"Humans apparently are a lot different than ponies"

"Ya... I heard that he is a foot big!" I snapped my attention to the crowd after that one and everything fell silent.

'Oh... what an interesting day this will be...'

Here ya go, this is also short because like what I said before, I split the chapter 7 in half, so this is its other half, c ya all next chapter!

Breaking point

Hope you enjoy this chapter! I put a lot of thought into this one and hope it was worth it!
__--IMPORTANT!-->> Perspectives will be changed throughout the story, I will signal when, any thoughts will be from the person's perspective currently being used

Chapter 9: Breaking point

It has been four days since I moved into my new home and things haven't gone exactly smooth. Every night I have the same nightmare, over and over, each night the dream becomes more and more real and the pain nearly unbearable.

Perspective change: Fluttershy<<<

"Girls, I'm worried about CJ, he has not been himself lately, and he has been having a terrible time sleeping and is trying to stay awake all the time, he seems sick, and he cannot concentrate on anything."

The mane 6 were all at Twilight's house, to discuss the matter of their friends strange behavior.

Perspective change: Rainbow dash<<<

"I agree with Flutter shy, he has been very paranoid lately, like somepony is going to attack him, he won't even speak to me, we have to try and do SOMETHING!"

Perspective change: AJ<<<

"Ah' know what ya'll mean. Jus' yesterday ah' saw him sitting on the ground with his back to ah' tree, doing nothing, jus' staring into space. Ah' couldn't even get his attention on me."

Perspective change: Twilight<<<

'I have to inform the princess of this right away, maybe she can do something'

"SPIIIIIIIKE!"

Perspective change: CJ<<<

I was pacing back and fourth in my living room, trying to take my mind off of that voice, but I just couldn't.

'Just don't think about it, he can't be real... he just can't. I went to therapy, I spoke to so many people, and it just stopped, but these nightmares are just getting so mu-' My thoughts were interrupted by a low growl right behind me.

I slowly turn to see nothing but my couch and window, but I sat there looking for what could have caused that noise. I hear it again, and notice the shadow being cast by the couch slowly stretch out along the ground and stop within inches of me. Then it began to take shape and rise from the ground into a four legged creature with white fangs stained with blood. It's eyes were glowing light yellow and cold air could be felt radiating off of its dark body. I sat there, petrified at what I was seeing, it had the shape of a timber wolf, but its body was a shadow, I could see right through it. I did the only thing I could think of, I ran away from my house, strait into the Everfree forest.

Perspective change: Celestia<<<

"Now girls, stay behind me and lets go to his house." They all nodded.

As we walked It was dead silent, no one spoke the whole way, the only noise that could be heard was when Twilight began running forward at CJ's house looking panicked.

"Twilight! Stop runn--" I stopped when I saw what she was looking at, CJ's house, door torn off the hinges and from what I could see, claw marks covering it, I flew with all my might to the house and ran inside and could not believe what I saw. His house was a wreck, couch overturned and ripped to pieces, the door torn with claw marks and pulled off the hinges. But that's not what what frightened me the most... it was the words scratched onto the wall and put into bold red with blood...

LeTS PlaY sOmE hiDE ANd SeEK

Perspective change: CJ<<<

I ran through the Everfree with all of my energy but my muscles screamed out in agony because of how tired I had become from so little sleep. But I ignored the pain and just kept running and running, always in its shadow....

Perspective change: Celestia<<<

"SEARCH THE PERIMETER! WE MUST FIND HIM!"

Perspective change: CJ<<<

I ran to a tree and hid behind it, sat down to try and catch my breath.

'That run took a lot out of me... wow... I hadn't realized how tired I really was...' My eyelids forced themselves closed and I dazed off.

Perspective change: Celestia<<<

I see a guard approach me with a sad look in his eyes.

"C-Celestia... we found some tracks from CJ and tracks of what looked to be a timber wolf." He said as he looked down.

"That's great, where do they lead?"

He looked up and sighed, "That's just it... they lead into the Everfree..."

My eyes went wide.

'Luna... LUNA! WAKE UP!'

'Ugh... what is it Tia....' Luna said ending it with a yawn.

'Luna, gather all of your night guards and get to the edge of the Everfree NOW'

It was silent for a moment before Luna responded...'Tia... I don't see why It's so import-'

'Luna if you don't get your flank over here right now I'm going to make you spend the next night with Pinkie Pie... alone...after she ate three boxes of cupcakes'

It was dead silent for a moment before Luna responded to the threat, 'You...wouldn't...DARE'

'Try me...'

'Ugh, fine I'm on my way'

Perspective change: CJ<<<

I awoke to the sound of a low growl, when I opened my eyes I saw the shadow wolf in front of me, and it gave a sickening smile and pounced at me.

Perspective change: Celestia<<<

"I HAVE GATHERED BOTH NIGHT AND DAY GUARDS HERE FOR A MATTER OF GREAT IMPORTANCE! WE NEED TO SEARCH THE EVERFREE FOR-"

Perspective change: CJ<<<

I slowly woke up with my head pounding and my hands shaking.

'Dear god this is worse than a Pinky Pie party hangover...'

I looked up slowly when I heard multiple growls above me and saw 5 timber wolves looking back at me.

I spoke in a low... rasp voice as my anger reached It's breaking point, "I am NOT in the fucking mood right now."

Just before they jumped at me I could have sworn I felt myself smile. But not a happy smile, a smile of pure anger, hatred, and insanity, the kind of emotions I have kept bottled up for the last 10 years...

Perspective change: A night guard<<<

"I don't know, how do they know he is still alive?"

The flyer beside me said, "I'm not sure, but If it is this important, just keep searching."

A loud explosion could be heard in the distance and a flash of light. No, not light... but like a flash of... darkness? As if any light in that area just completely went out for a moment.

"What the hay was that? Come one! We have to go check it out."

We all flew as fast as we could towards the area we heard the explosion.

Perspective change: Celestia<<<

I was pacing back and fourth until I heard shouts in the distance.

"What? What is it? Did you find-" I was cut off by what I saw.

CJ, unconscious and being carried by two night guards, they put him down and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. His whole body was steaming, as if he was as hot as a flame. His clothes tattered and burned. But the worst part... was the evil smile plastered on his face.

"W-Where... where d-did you find h-him?"

They answered quickly, "We were searching the forest, when an explosion was heard and we saw a strange flash... but it seemed to be darkness, and take away light, not give it, we flew over to the site we saw it happen. CJ was sitting In the center of a crater, with blood and bones scattered around him..."

Perspective change: CJ just before the explosion<<<

Just before I released all of my hate and anger, a voice echoed in my head,

'Heheheh... It's been a long time... and this time... you... and your friends will suffer...'

Then there was nothing... I felt my entire body go limp... darkness began taking over... and I felt the faint beating of my heart just stop...

Whoa! I wonder what happened! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and ready for the next one soon! Also, leave in the comments what you think will become of this new twist!

A grave funeral

Same thing as before, hope you enjoy it and leave a like if you haven't already, and maybe a comment! This chapter however will be rather short... sorry :(

Chapter 10: A grave funeral

Somewhere Celestia was giving a sad speech that could be heard from miles away, but was not shouted, however the sad vibes given by each word traveled far through the land.

Perspective: Celestia<<<

"---and now we are here to say goodbye, may you rest in peace... Chris James... the first Human of Equestria."

Perspective change: 3rd person view<<<

All of the ponies in the crowd all wore black and had their heads down, some had guilty faces and some sad, none happy. But probably the most effected group of ponies were the 6 ponies in tears at the front.

"I-If only I h-had stayed when h-he was like that... I-I could h-h-have done s-something..." Said Fluttershy through her tears.

To her right was AJ who was trying to calm down Flutter shy, while to the left sat a pony who felt the most guilty of the 6... Rarity.

"I-I c-cant b-believe he is d-dead... I-If it w-was something I s-said... s-something I d-did?" She put her head down and sobbed quietly.

Even Rainbow dash was shedding a few tears, and couldn't stop mumbling something about not flying fast enough to find him.

Pinkie had her hair strait down and her tail as well, to depressed to show any emotion other than sadness.

As the coffin lowered into the ground, it read,

In memory of Chris James
A loved friend by many
And a memory that will not be forgotten

The sequel is called A shadow's grave, it is rated Mature if you cant find it, reason? Believe it or not... I got warnings on this story cause my rating was teen and some of the stuff I put in there was not for teen, but for mature, my stories will 99% probably NEVER contain clop. Just funny shenanigans

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE SEQUEL!
