Past Memories

My hooves can feel the satisfying feeling of a rug outside my parents door, the door to my past. I swiftly yet carefully run down the halls until I feel a slight dip in front of me. I cautiously move my right hoof foreword and feel around for a surface. My hoof finds a hard surface, it seems to head downwards either to pony hell or my freedoom. I take a deep breath and move my left hoof even further down, "This could be a long drop to my death or another flat surface." I slowly lower my hoof down to feel the relief of another surface, they seem to be steps going down. Then I realized what I am on...Stiars. This will be a great challenge for me since my parents apartment room has only one floor. I lift my right hoof up and feel to my right, a wall. "Okay as soon as I find the stair's railing I'll be able to go straight down and out of here." My ultra sensitive ears twitch to the sound of hooves, "my father..he is coming for me. If he catches me I surely will be punished for attempting to escape..or worse."

My body gets coated in a emotion I am well aware of..the feeling of fear. I waste no time using my luck by running down the stairs, as I feel the steps ending I feel a little breeze against my face. "The door to my freedom is almost in my reach." my lips quiver as I make a little smile. I Haven't smiled in years, the feeling of hope and happiness feels so heavenly. Once my hooves touch the floor I run foreword, waiting to find that wonderful door into my new life. Suddenly my face hurts like my flank when I run into a hard surface. I sit my sore flank down on the floor and then I carefully bring my left hoof up to my eye. I flinch from the slight pain I caused myself by touching the rim of my eye. "Great, another boo-boo nopony can heal. But..if this is the cost of freedom I'll shake it off" I carefully get up off of my hooves and brush my fur off. I reach out my right hoof to feel the surface of something I recognize all to well, a door. I eagerly move my hoof around to search for the door's handle.

The smooth round feeling of the door knob registers in my mind. My lips don't waste time to form a huge smile. I quickly turn the door knob and push the door with all of my strength. Smells lingering in Ponyville enter my snout as the door slowly creaks open. Green auras of all shades are walking around everywhere. I can hardly believe my eyes, I'm just steps away into the world. I hear hoof steps behind me, if my father catches me it's all over. I waste no time to run out the door, I can feel dirt underneath me. It feels so good, even if it's dirty it's a sign of life. Ahead of me are tall green auras, trees. The one time I got my hooves on a book was totally worth the 38 cutiemarks. The trees are from the everfree forest, the book said that only brave ponies would step hoof in this forest. Well my life may be at stake so I guess I just have to take my chances. As I continue on towards the forest, my hooves feel grass underneath me. I slow down a little bit to check if anypony is following me, no hoof steps but my own. For the rest of my way a trot on deeper into the forest, my eyes start to slowly close. Mother and father haven't feed me or gave me anything to drink for 2 weeks, it's amazing how I'm still alive. I try to continue moving forward but then I collapse, as my vision fades to black I can smell something awful and hear a low growl in the distance.

I wake up hours later it seems and look around, my body freezes when I see a strangely shaped red aura behind me. The creature growls and moves closer, it can smell my fear. Suddenly it hits me, there's a timber wolf behind me. I waste no time but to jump to my hooves and run. The timberwolf chases me, I'm fast but it's faster. I run into a giant green aura, a huge tree blocks my path. I'm cornered by the timber wolf, this might be the end. To think I just got into the world to get eaten by this thing. I do the only thing I can do in this situation, scream for "HELP!"

Suddenly a bright green aura dives at the timber wolf from the sky, it appears to be a female pegasus. The pegasus fights with the timber wolf, I hear the sound of the creature's yelp. The red aura now fades to black, the timber wolf is dead. I curl into a ball and cry as the pegasus walks over to me.

"Hey there, I won't hurt you." the pegasus says lovingly, I look up at her, "Do you have a name?" she asks me. I shake my head no, "Well my name's Gingersnap little one." she carefully puts her hooves around me and lifts me up. I notice that her aura is brighter near her chest.

"T..Thank you for saving my life." I say shyly.

"Your very welcome." she says as she nuzzles me gently

My stomach rumbles with hunger, gingersnap chuckles, "Would you like to come to my place to get a snack?" she asks me lovingly. I nod my head, "Yes please!" Gingersnap then places me on her back and then she walks towards her place. As we walk back into town a rose's thorn brushes on my fur and into my hoof. I flinch a little but then I carefully take the thorn out of my hoof.

Gingersnap turns her head to me and says, "Your a tough little filly aren't you? I think I'll call you..Rosalina Thorn, or Rosey for short." she nuzzles me again. I nod in agreement, "I have a name!" I cheer in my head. As we walk out of the forest I get comfy on Gingersnap's back. Eventually I close my eyes and take a nap.
