|Shorty|

MemoirChapter4

Topic:Memoir

There I lay, under the seat in a mining cart. I awoke, confused over the fact I had no dream about my 6 friends. I had no dream, at all. I wondered why. Could I have gotten over them? Or could they have--have--died? No, nor do I care. Correct? Right.

Yeah thats right, like totally right.

Right?

Again I felt like a confused toddler, so..short. I deserved the name 'Shorty' now I was calling myself shorty. I swear in my head it's no longer 'it's okay spike' it's now 'it's okay shorty'

I wondered what my friends were doing now, and if they were okay. I drifted back to sleep, slowly.

Twilight awoke, and crawled out from under the dust and ash of the blown up mining cart. The ropes were gone, so she moved freely around freeing her friends. "Fluttershy?" Twilight yelled. No answer. Rainbowdash, using her nose, pushed up the cart. Fluttershy lay there, not moving.

"NOOOOO" I yelled. I was drowning in the sweat pool in the small place under the seat. I had a dream again.

They were all okay, but...but Fluttershy. And then this voice they didn't hear..it said..it--it said "1 down, 5 more to go" and then nothing! It's as if we got disconnected, like something between us flickered of when it wasn't me who was in pain. Speaking of pain, a gash on my right hand bled like a nuisance. I felt my sharpest tooth, and felt blood on it.

Had I...bitten myself? I sat up, but banged my head against the bottom of the seat and fainted backwards.

The ponies bitterly walked off to the entrence of the mine. Missing one. All didn't know what to say, or how to say it. Someone was hunting them. It wanted them.  They had to be more careful. They couldn't slip on mud, or trip over a rock or tttccchhhh (imagine pulling your finger across your neck here.)

They needed help. Rarity and Twilight worked together to keep Fluttershy (who was drifting in and out of consicounous) up with their magic.

They all planned to find Zakora, out in the wildest part of the Evergreen Forest, at night.

They walked right past Spike, still hidden under the seat of the mining cart sleeping.
