Forgotten People

Chapter 1 – Diary Entries

Dear Diary,

In case you are unsure of anything that has happened recently, here's a quick overview. After I kind of pushed Twilight a little, she opened up a portal to another universe at these ruins up on top of a hill outside Ponyville. In doing so, two humans managed to find their way here; their names were Alec and Hamish. Thanks to Alec's...uh...Latin ability, we managed to reconstruct the Equestria Olympics here in Ponyville. During their stay here, Alec and I became more than friends, especially after his...transformation, and Hamish and Princess Luna became friends too. But unfortunately, now they're gone.

It has now been a month since my friend Alec’s departure from Ponyville. It may seem silly that I miss a being that isn’t the same species as me, but it still hurts to know that he isn’t here beside me. I miss him so much, even though my friends have been helping me through depression. To be honest, Fluttershy has been the best towards me, being the Element of Kindness after all, her kindness and helpfulness has made me realise how lucky I am to have friends like my own.

Alec’s departure has still left a hole in my heart that I can’t fill up again. He may have been human, but he was a little bit of all my friend’s Elements of Harmony, Kind, Loyal, Generous, Honest, Laughter and Magic. He had touched my heart that no other colt or stallion could do to me, ever. I miss him so much and really wish to see him again soon.

Then there was his friend Hamish. To be honest, I don’t know how to feel about him. He seemed like an okay guy, but Celestia was he aggressive. Of all the times he punched, kicked and bruised, it’s quite staggering that a fifteen-year old could pull of stuff like that. I guess I do kind of miss him, he didn’t mean any harm anyway.

I only hope that Alec is having a good life in his own world, but I would love to see him again, it would mean more than the world to me to see him alright…

SIGNED, RAINBOW DASH

18th July 2013

The past two weeks have been absolute fucking hell. On the first day of…whatever the hell this thing is, I watched as most of my classmates and fellow school pupils were either horribly mutated or eaten about three feet away from me. Thank god though, me, Hamish and a few others managed to get away from all this horror. We’re at my house about three miles from school and we’re all okay. But for everyone else, if anyone is still alive, we don’t know yet.

I also miss being in Equestria though, that was probably the best time of my life. I do miss my friends there too. Twilight was really nice letting me stay with her for my first few days, Applejack was a good sport, but I miss Rainbow Dash most of all.

Okay, it may seem queer that a human would have feelings for a talking Pegasus, but she was so nice, loyal and caring. I remember telling her that it would be great if she ever came here, but now I don’t want her to get dragged into this mess. I love her too much for her to get involved in this.

Well, I should probably talk about who is in my group, in case anyone ever finds these entries.

First, there’s Hamish. Yeah, the reason he survived is because he managed to barge past a ton of those…things and manage to help me. He’s quick too, so he is gonna last a long time. If anything he'll be most useful for protection around here, we have three other guys keeping watch overnight, all really good friends of mine, but if anyone can take on those things in one on one combat, Hamish is your guy.

Three of my other friends, Max, Oliver and Josh, they are all here too keeping watch over the house. They managed to make it out without any bites, but Max is slightly wounded from tripping over and grazing his knee on the gravel, but nothing too serious that it will kill him, right?

Then there’s Jamie. He’s a bit of a twat to be honest; he followed us back to our house. Fine, we took him in but he’s so…picky. He keeps trying to be the boss and take control over this group, but that’s not happening. I’m the head of this group, not him. If he wants to take control, then he can downright bog off.

My best mate Cameron also made it along with his little sister, thank god they’re alright. He’s been affected by this…plague up in Nottingham too, so he’s pegged it down to Quorn to see if I’m okay. As you can see, I’m perfectly fine…mostly.

The truth is, whatever those things were, I was bitten by one of them. The bite is stinging like it’s been brushed against a nettle, but it’s tingly like it’s asleep. Heh, that’s funny, I was bitten two weeks ago and in the movies it takes a day for you to turn. Maybe I’m immune? I still feel a little under the weather but I’m not ill at all.

One last thing, if Rainbow Dash ever does come here while my world is in this state, I’m not sure how long she’ll last with these creatures roaming around the place. But if she does, I’ll know, and I’ll find her and guard her with my life.

I owe it to her after all.

SIGNED, ALEC BISHOP

Dear Diary,

I’m not sure of what to make of all this madness. The world is gone to hell, my friend is bitten, and my parents…well, I’m not sure if they’re alright. All I know is that Alec is safe, so is his friend Cami and that twat Jamie who wants to be in control along with the other three guys. In all honesty, I should be in charge being the most mature, but Alec seems to have it all under control, despite his…condition. I’ll have to keep an eye out for anything interesting and use it to help him. Until then, survival is the only option.
