Rainbow Dash's adventure (temp. title)
Ch 3: an unexpected guest
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThree days past in her bed, and she woke up starving. As she got up, she noticed her bed was blood stained and she felt weak. Then she remembered the gash. She looked at her back. It was completely covered in dried blood. She felt stupid for eating something she had never seen, and for forgetting about the cut. She had lost a lot of blood, and started to bleed a bit more when she was moving. Rainbow Dash heard her stomach growl. She ran downstairs and ate a few strawberries. She noticed there was another handle on the "cold box". She opened it. The air that came out was freezing. She grabbed what appeared to her as a cattail on a stick. It was super cold, and she set it down constantly. She tried biting it, but was stopped by the rock hard surface. She then saw what appeared to be a mini version of the big black square in the other room. It had a lot more buttons, but also a start and stop button. The others had numbers on them. The device had a handle, so she pulled it open. It was empty. She threw the cattail inside, and shut it. She just wanted to test what it did. She hit a 3 and a 0, then start. It made a small humming noise, and then stopped. She opened it, noticed nothing different, and picked up the cattail. It was, to her surprise, warm and soft. She bit down, and chewed. It wasn't too bad. She nommed the rest of it down, and threw the stick on one of the tables. She then sat in one of the chairs that was in front of the black square on the wall, and watched it until dusk fell. She went to bed and fell asleep. Things were finally coming back to normal for her.
Rainbow Dash woke up the next morning, went downstairs, ate, and then headed to the door for her next walk. As she stepped outside, she heard a low rumbling noise coming towards the house. She looked in the direction it was coming from, and saw a large metal object with a window on the front of it approaching. She sprinted inside, slammed the door, and quickly found a place to hide; in the bedroom closet. It was small, dark, and full of glass items. She tried to be extra careful not to bump anything.
Meanwhile, Steve had just arrived home from bronycon. "Best vacation ever!" he told himself. He pulled into the garage, and walked into the house. He walked to the fridge for a snack, and surprisingly found the jug of strawberries half empty. He found a few apples gone too. "I knew I should have left the house alarm on!" he told himself. Then he thought about it again. What person would leave half of two types of food, and everything else? He considered maybe it was an animal, but what animal would open the doors, take some food, shut the containers and then close the doors?
Rainbow's legs were getting tired, so she sat down. Unfortunately for her, a glass vase was right behind her. She bumped it, and failed to catch it before it smashed into a million pieces.
Steve heard a loud smashing noise, and recognized it as one of his vases. He then took the thought in; his intruder was still here. He only kept glass in his closet, so he knew exactly where he/she was. He grabbed his airsoft gun, the only form of protection he had, and walked upstairs. He had cut off the orange tip to enhance the gun's realism. He walked into the room, and slowly reached for the door handle. He grabbed it, and ripped the door open.
