Friendship Is Thicker Than Blood
Chapter 2 Crimson In the Dark (Revised)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI felt something touching my crotch softly..I was lying on something very comfortable.."Oh yeah baby thats just the spot.." I said in a drowsy voice.´´WAIT A FUCKING SECOND!!!´´ I slowly opened my eyes and looked down on my croch and saw..."SNAKE!!!!!" I ran like a bitch away from the snake that was in my crotch...After running a couple of moments I recovered and saw just where I was..
I looked around and saw that I was in a dark forest...But nothing like this even came close to exist in afghan..."I looked around and the trees looked very hollowed and....old..There was plenty of foliage everywhere.."Haha" I laughed sarcastically. "Really funny God! You got me! Can you just judge me and get it over with..." I waited for something to happen but nothing did...Maybe this wasn't heaven..or whatever afterlife.."Only one way to find out." I took out my knife that was strapped to my chest and stabbed myself in the arm causing me to bleed a little."Well, I'm alive, Why would I need blood in the afterlife...But the real questions is "WHERE THE FUCK AM I?!" I yelled out in frustration.
"I was just in a middle of a fucking war zone and now I am in some forest in GOD knows where!" My outburst made every bird fly away."Oh SHIT JAMES!" I remember that my brother was shot in the chest and is probably bleeding somewhere."But wait didn't we get hit by a RPG?" I was trying to make sense of the situation but gave up.."Okay Anthony time to get your head in the game." I hit myself in the head."First things first, Make a perimeter of safe zone.Second try to find james..maybe he is lying around somewhere.."
I desperately searched for like half hour but I found nothing..."Where is that dipshit!" I however found something else during my search. My rifle...but not my shuffle bag..."Fucking mother fucker!" I randomly spat out in anger.Lets check what I have on me, I quickly looked through all my pocket."Lets see...Some chew bubblegum...My iphone...three mags of 5.57...Half full water bag..and my pistol with 5 mags..I at least hope when I find civilization someone better have a charger!" I looked at my Iphone...Fuck me full battery.." I then remembered something.
I hit myself on the left side of my head "I still got my comms!" I remembered when ever your stranded first things first, check your coms."Sergeant Crimson to dragon's nest do you copy, over?..." I waited a moment for respond.."Repeat, Sergeant Crimson to dragons nest do you copy, over?" Still no answer...these things basically work half way around the world..."I am in a unknown location with lots of foliage, Does anyone read me, over?"...."FUCK!" I kicked a nearby stone sending it flying away hitting a tree. "Comms are down at the worst possible moment. Okay remember your training. Seek high ground to find civilization...
I was looking around for high ground and saw a mountain off in the distance."Perfect!" I said with a smile."Lets get moving!"
There was something...off with the forest..It felt alive...yet dead...I was walking with my knife already out. Im not gonna die by suprise again. I kept making my way to the mountain just off by the horizon but I was stopped by something very...odd.
"Hmm....What the fuck kinda tracks are these. It looks like a cat print ...only A lot bigger.
I better keep my guard up, whatever made these prints look like it could put up a real fight...I kept moving with my gun and pistol ready this time...but I could hear a very familiar *BOOM* echoing through the forest
*BANG BANG BANG BANG*
I was shocked from what sounded like handgun shots. I knew it was a handgun because the rate of fire."That came from the mountain!" I said outloud to myself."James..." I realised that time was off the essence and I started to run to the origin of the gunshot.
I kept my pace and breath rate to a minimum I wouldn't want to be out of breath If a fight would occur. After a couple of minits of steady jogging, I found the cat imprints again...."What the fuck is this...This isn't a forest where Lion and Tigers would roam around so why the hell is there a large cat imprint on the ground." I looked to where the tracks were leading to...I saw boot imprints with a thick imprint...meaning..."I need to get to James now!" I ran as fast as I could. I could hear a powerful streaming river by the distance and it was there where the paw and foot prints stopped...it looked like he must have swum to avoid the cat thing..´´If I was chased by a large cat that's what I would have done at least!´´ I followed the river downstream to find a road to what looked like an old time village. "Civilization Finally!" said to myself. but I should still be careful since they might be hostiles.
"Applejack do you think zecora is home?" a young southern voice came from the field. I narrowed my eyes and just saw three...interesting colored equines.."Did that horse just talk..." I narrowed my eyes closer and saw that the little horse was very..very small..to small for a horse. and what are up with the cowboy hat on the big orange one..
"Dawnt worry yer little head Applebloom." The bigger horse said with a patted the little one in the head...
"How.....Did I cut myself deep enough?"
"Who knows maybe Zecora can help us get our cutie marks." The other smaller horse spoke as. I narrowed my eyes on it and...it had a horn!
"Okay now I'm sure I need to stick a needle in the eye to make sure I am not hallucinating.." I could see minor movement from the other side of the field.."Glowing eyes?" I said to myself in a whisper. but I focused my attention on the pasty coloured horses.
"Applejack you dont happen to know what that large thundery noise was coming from the the everfree forest?" Asked the smaller one with a purple mane...I narrowed my eyes on it..and as expected it had wings...
"A bunch of talking girly horses...This shit is out of a girls T.V show...But who would be pathetic enough to watch that?" I said with a small dark chuckle at the madness of the moment."But I got to admit the unicorn one looks adorable.."
"Don't lose your horses Scootaloo, Its probably just Rainbow kicking the clouds as usual" the grown horse said to the smaller one.
"Hmmm..it seems that from their figure and sounds,size and voices they are all probably female..Interesting..But why do they speak english..And why does Apple..scrap or whatever sound like shes southern..." I said to myself in thought. But something cought my eye..there were more glowing eyes then before off in the distance...
The glowing eyes jumped out to reveal themselves as wolves...but in closer inspection they were made out of.-"Wood?" The wolves quickly surrounded the female equines.
"AHH!" The younger girls screamed in fear with tears going down their eyes in fear from the carnivores.They all hugged the bigger pony which they tried to hide behind but the older pony just hugged them."Shhh, it will all be over soon" She closed her eyes waiting for the inevitable death that would hit them soon.
"Shoulder I protect them...? I have to find James...Who knows maybe he needs me right now...and I would maybe..die myself" I took a glance at the small equines again and saw they were all squeezing the bigger horse while their faces are completely covered in tears..That awoke something inside me..
"NO! I...MUST...SAVE THEM!!!! LEEROOOOOOOOOOY JEEENKINS!!!! I roared on the top of my lungs with a dark voice that would make anyone tremble.Sarge would be proud of me Now Thats a real war face. I ran towards the wolves who were still taking in the moment before the kill.
