Hitting the ground

For a moment nothing happened.  They stopped walking towards me, and now they stare, Looking at their "prey."  It seemed both sides were waiting for the other to attack, like they no longer think I'm their prey, but their enemy.

Then they attacked.

The one to my right charged at me and raised it's left paw, the same paw I shoved my Tanto through.  The creature howled in pain, but only for about 2 seconds, as a bullet from my shadow went through it's neck causing it to cough up a little blood and fall to the ground, dead.

I looked over at the other 6 creatures,  seeing them with shocked expressions only made me smile.

"Which one of you assholes is next?"

All six of the strange creatures began to growl. If I'm lucky, I will be able to kill at least three with my Shadow before the others reach me, I'll have to use my Tanto for the rest.  I lifted my Shadow and aimed it at one of the large abomination's head with my finger on the trigger, when something happened that neither side expected.

A large force started to shake the ground right as I pulled the trigger, it caused me to shoot the ground instead of the creature.  Ignoring the rumbling, I charged towards one of the creatures and jabbed my Tanto inside it's torso area.  Instead of just pulling the Tanto out right away, I twisted it to the left before yanking it out of the creature's body.

I quickly turned around, ready to kill another mutated ape, but they were gone.

"Cowards!"

I turned around, ready to continue down the path-

Holy hell.

In front of me was some giant freak of nature. It was a lion with bat wings and a scorpion tail, and it looked like it was hungry.  It's eyes narrowed as it started to growl. I looked at it's teeth to see that they were sharp, Very sharp.  I was about to reach for my shadow when I realized something, bullets are enough to take this thing down.  I would have to use my tanto and try to stab it. Not knowing what kind of animal this was, I would have to stab it near it's eye and hope that it would get the brain.  I gripped my Tanto tightly, prepared to strike, When-

" Awww, did you make a new friend?"

The female voice came from behind the beast. It sounded like the voice of a mother, or maybe a caretaker. It was soft and caring, but it still had some authority.  The beast looked back behind it and roared.

"That's great! Let me see."

The Lion thing stepped to the side to show what was behind it, and what I saw made me question my sanity, again.  A yellow horse- er... Pony with wings.  "She" had a pink mane and had a picture of butterflies on the side of it's ass.  "She" looked at me with wonder and a little bit of fear in her eyes, or at least untill she looked down at my Tanto.  "Her" pupils shrank and all the wonder that had once been in it's eyes had been replaced by only fear.

I looked down at my Tanto to see that there was still fresh blood dripping off of it and onto the ground.  Getting the idea of what it was thinking, I sheathed my Tanto to show it I meant no harm, yet.  I looked back to the winged pony to see that still had the same look of fear on its face.  If this is what was talking, It might be my only way to figure out where I am.

"Hey, you was the one talking right?"

The pony mumbled something, It was so quiet I didn't hear anything it said.  This pony was going to tell me where I am, scared or not.  I started walking towards the pony when the beast jumped back in front of me and roared. At that moment I didn't know what was worse, How my ears were ringing or how it's breath smelled like ass.  Usually I would have been stabbing this creature with my Tanto by now, but it seems it might be "her" pet. So for now I will try to do this "peacefully"

" Woah there, I don't want to hurt it. I just want ask it something."

It stood it's ground, Still staring daggers at me. Things might get violent. I reached for my Tanto when I heard "her" voice again.

"P-Please, don't fight."

I rested my hand on my Tanto as I saw the pony to the right of the beast.

"What d-do you want?"

I took my hand off the Tanto and looked at the pony.  It's eyes still had fear, but now there was courage.

"What is this place?"

"T-The Everfree forest."

"What country?"

The pony grew an confused look on it's face. "I dont know what a country is, but if you mean kingdom, The Everfree forest is apart of Equestria."

The kingdom of Equestria.  I should have figured a long time ago I wasn't on earth, with all the fucked up shit around here.

"Is there a town nearby?"

"Yes, but I dont think it's a good ide-"

"How do I get to it?"

"I Really dont thi-"

"Tell. Me. Now."

"Just follow the path"

"See? That wasn't so hard."

The beast gave me one last growl as I started down the trail, maybe I should have brought that yellow pony as a hostage so if they were hostile I would have the upper hand. Nah, the lion thing would be too much trouble, and the pony would probably run away during the fight.

Here I am again, walking down the trail waiting for something to happen. If I find out that the pony misled me, I will have it's head.

As I was walking down the trail, I started to wonder why I was in this strange place.  Is this where all people go to where they die? No.  There would be a lot more humans here, or maybe everyone has their own version of it? It could just be fate has played another cruel joke on me.

Whatever this place is, I will do anything and kill anything to survive, Intelligent or not.
