Rainbow Dash's adventure (temp. title)
Ch 2: New findings
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash woke up the next morning, cramped but rested. She had questions in her mind, like "Why is this place abandoned? IS it abandoned? If so, why is everything fresh?" She shook those questions out of her head while she ate breakfast; strawberries and an apple. She decided to take a walk today. She thought everything over several times over, but she couldn't come up with any good answers. Rainbow shook them out of her head again. She looked for some berries, or some other type of natural food in case she ran out of the food that was in the 'cold box'. Rainbow Dash only found a few small plants, but they were obviously not edible.
One was purple with what appeared to be crumpling leaves. One was red, with small spikes coming from the stem. She couldn't find any flowers. The only thing close was a blossom on a tree. She walked home, and watched her favorite channels. Life was becoming easy, and she had her own routine somewhat planned out: breakfast, walk, entertainment, snack, entertainment, dinner, possible walk, bed. She was happy; she had a quiet home, and she could do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. She missed her friends, but she could survive a few days alone. She went to bed a little earlier than usual, as she was exhausted. As she drifted off to sleep, she almost couldn't believe that 2 days had gone by so fast.
The next morning, Rainbow Dash got up and began her routine. Breakfast; followed by a walk. Today, she planned to walk far away enough that she would have to mark the trees as she passed them, in order that she could find her way back home. The branches were low, so she couldn't fly, though the trees were too close together to open her wings anyways. She had walked her hour, and was about to turn around, when a creature stopped her. It was about half her size, and light grey in color. It had four legs like she did, but it was obviously not a pony. It walked around her once, and then cocked its head to the side and stared at her for a moment. It was wagging its tail, obviously not a threat in her eyes. It bounced around and ran in a direction, and stopped. It was if the creature wanted her to follow. She cautiously walked towards it, and stopped when it began to growl. Before she knew it, she was surrounded by them; all mean looking, and barking or snarling at her. Rainbow then realized she fell into a trap.
They all moved in towards her. "Wh- who are you?! What do you want from me?!" she asked them. They didn't respond; they simply snarled louder. She backed into a tree, and stared into their eyes. She looked up and realized that this was one of the trees she had marked. There was still a chance for her. She planted her hooves firmly in the ground, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and sprinted away. Dash followed the marked trees, and was halfway home, when she felt a sharp pain flow through her back. Blood covered the ground at her sides, and she realized one was on her back. She slammed it into a tree, and though her injury burned, she kept running. She was more scared than she had ever been. She felt an occasional tear slip her eye as she ran. After what seemed like forever, her home was in view.
She had well lost the horrible creatures. She slowed her pace, and ran into a bush when she looked back to check for her assailants one final time. It was full of berries. This was the first luck she had all day, so she eyed it suspiciously. She ate one of the berries. It didn't taste too bad, but she didn't eat any more; she knew some were poisonous. When she walked inside, her fears were confirmed; the berry was not meant for her to eat. Her stomach yelled at her for hours, and cramped for even longer. She just layed on her bed in agony until she was too weak to writhe anymore, and she fell asleep.
