Hidden and alive a story by Starpowner
Chapter 1: second contact
It was a night, and the moon was shining proudly. I walked through the forest, seeing an owl in my stroll. It stared to me. I shoke my head and went to my house, in the middle of the Everfree Forest. Oh wait, I haven’t told who I am yet. Well, I’m Alve Gathear. I know it’s a pretty strange name but hey, I haven’t knew my parents! I invented it by myself for fun! I live in the Everfree Forest, not having contact with anyone because the only time I saw someone, that was lost in the forest, he was pretty mean to me so I don’t want to see any other people anymore. I don’t trust anybody.
As I neared my house, I saw a silhouette behind the window of my old, wooden shed. ‘Who ever found out where my house is!!!??? And even goes in it! Maybe it wants to steal my furniture, that I made myself!’ As I walked to the door a picked up a plank with my mouth, as defend for if it attacks me.
I was standing at the front door. The door was already opened. I ran inside and in my head I was thinking I am going to scream something like ‘Leeroy Jenkins!!!’. I immediately turned on the lights. I saw a yellow pony standing there. It has a pink mane, and a cutie mark that showed 3 pink butterflies. It, or I actually have to say ‘she’ looked in shock up at me. We were just standing there for I think 30 seconds. I could see she was scared, and didn’t want to steal or hurt me. She began to talk; ‘oh I’m sorry… I was just looking for Angel. I’ve lost her again…’. ‘Who’s Angel?’ I said, looking a bit confused right now. ‘My bunny’ she said, with a silent voice. I looked around. ‘I haven’t seen him’ I said. She responded: ‘oh well, I will go then… I didn’t want to annoy you.’
She walked to the door. I looked a bit confused to what just happened. As she step her first hoof outside door I turned to her. ‘wait!’. She looked back at me. ‘I could help you finding him, you’re the first pony I’ve ever talked to, except for an insulting lost pony I met once.’ She smiled a little. ‘that would be nice.’
‘I think its better to search tomorrow, because its night right now and it is not easy to search for something if it is dark.’ I said. She stepped back inside my house. ‘Yes.’ Was all she responded. ‘But my house is a hour of walking away… and its too dangerous to go trough the forest right now. As you maybe know about Timberwolves?’ She asked. ‘Yea, I see them sometimes out of my window at night.’ ‘You could stay here until its day again if you want. I don’t care.’ She cheered. ‘Thank you!’ I looked to a chair, I once made of cotton I’ve found in the forest. ‘If you want you may sleep there.’ I pointed to the soft chair. ‘Or I will sleep there so you can sleep in my bed.’ I saw she was thinking. ‘I will sleep on the settee.’ She smiled.
