It was a cold, moonless night and two figures were running through a dense forest. A strong wind blew on them and brought forth the smell of fire, ash and gunpowder. The sound of hounds could be heard from behind them. They just kept running until they came to a river. They stopped to catch their breath, or at least one of them did. The other simple stood there, motionless. Her face lacked emotion, even after their long run through the forest. The sound of the hounds got closer, and the girl got into a defensive stance. Her brother knew better than to fight the men behind the dogs.
"Come on" he said, pulling on her hand. They ran until they saw light through the trees. The boy grew excited while his sister remained in her emotionless state. They reached the light only to be disappointed. They had come back to the place from which they were trying to run away from. They had run in a circle. The boy became very afraid and worried while the girl started to become angry.
"We've come back. Why? I thought you wanted to run away from them." the girl asked.
"I did, but we must have lost our way in the forest..."he said.
"No." she said, realization on her face. "We were led here. Those dogs. They chased us here." she said.
"But-" he started to say, but was cut off when men surrounded them. The siblings stood back to back, in defensive positions.
"Please, do not fight us. We only wish to take you back to where you belong" a man said.
"We've never belonged here" the boy said.
"But you have lived here your whole lives" the man said.
"No, we'll never go back." the boy said.
"Fine, then I have no choice. It seems like I have to take you back by force. Men, get them." The men attacked the siblings, but were easily defeated. They were no match for the brother and sister.
"Come on. Let’s go while we have the chance." the boy said. He then ran into the forest. The girl started to follow but was stopped when the man spoke to her.
"Now are you really going to leave this place? Your home and family? This is all you've ever known. Are you really going to blindly follow your brother into an unknown world? Come back with me, and we can continue your training." the man said while holding out his hand to the girl. She was tempted. This was all she knew. She reached out to his hand but then came back. She remembered what she had seen, and what her bother had told her about their 'family business'.
"No" she said, "I will never go back with you" and with that she ran back into the forest after her brother. They ran through the forest again but this time they came across a battlefield.
There was fighting, gun shots, and buildings on fire. The girl caught up to her brother and together they ran into the battle. They dodged people, weaved through the fighting but then the girl was tackled by an enemy. He lashed and punched at her but she defeated him easily. The brother and sister tried to run again but they were soon surrounded.
They fought the enemies. They used the fighting techniques that they were taught for so long. Their effort was not enough though. The brother was taken down shortly after the fight had begun. The girl kept fighting for she was trained better than her older brother. She took down most of the men with incredible fighting ability and the men were becoming afraid. They had heard stories about this girl. How she was almost unbeatable and how she was trained just to fight and nothing else.
One of the men did not give up for he was not afraid of this girl. He continued to strike at her and she dodged blow after blow. He did this until he finally hit her. She was hit on the shoulder and knocked back a few feet. The blow did not stun her, in fact it barely hurt her. Now it was her turn to strike back.
She caught him by surprise when he tried to punch her and she caught his fist. She held onto his fist and threw him over her shoulder. He landed on the ground with a thud. He was unconscious.
She walked over to her brother and helped him get up. They walked over to a bench so he could sit down and recover. As she started to walk away her brother asked, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to go protect people.” She replied. She walked out into the battle. She fought people who were once the people she worked with. Now they were her enemies. She took down five guys and helped the innocent people who were getting attacked escape. She continued this until she had taken down twenty enemies and helped twice that escape.
But her luck would not last. Someone pointed a gun at her and pulled the trigger. As soon as the bullet left the gun, time seemed to slow down and right before the bullet hit her everything faded.
Raven woke up screaming. She was sweating and her breathing was quick. Her heart was pounding so hard in her chest. She started to rub the scar on her right side of her body, next to her diaphragm.
River, her cousin, woke up and walked to her bedside tried to comfort Raven. Not long after, Raven’s brother, Kal walked in too.
“Raven are you ok?” Kal asked.
“Y-Yeah I’m fine. I just had a nightmare” Raven said. River noticed that Raven was rubbing her scar.
“Was it that nightmare?” River asked.
“Yes, it was. It was the nightmare of our past. It was the time when we escaped.” Raven said, “Why do I keep having this nightmare? What’s going on?
“I don’t know. I wish I did so we could help you. Maybe help prevent it from coming back so often.” Kal said.
“Yeah well, I’m going to see if I can get more sleep. You two better do the same. Sorry for waking you guys, again” Raven said.
“Yeah, you better be sorry” River said jokingly. They all share a small laugh.
“But its ok, we know you don’t mean to.”
“Yeah, but I still just feel bad.” Raven said.
“Ok, well let’s just try and get a little bit more sleep. See you two in a couple hours.” Kal said.
“Ok, bye” River went back to her bed and Kal left. Raven laid back down and tried to fall back asleep. She was having this nightmare at least once a week and it was always the same one. The one where she’s running, then has to fight people and then someone shoots her. And right before the bullet hits her she wakes up, screaming and freaking out.
She felt so bad every time she would have the dream for multiple reasons. The first reason was that this nightmare was just any random nightmare, it was a memory from her past. The second reason was that every time she would wake up, she was always screaming and this would wake River and Kal.
“Well, I hope we figure this stupid dream out soon” she whispered to herself. After about five more minutes she fell asleep. She had another dream, but this dream was more positive. The dream was about one of her favorite shows. That show was My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic.
It was a weekend and Raven and Kal were playing video games. They were playing Mario Kart on their Wii and Raven was beating Kal majorly.
"Oh, come on" Kal said.
"Aww yeah, I win again." Raven said.
"Ok, how about 4 out of 6?" Kal offered.
"Uhh, how about no? Come on Kal we've played like a dozen times. Can we play a different game now or are you afraid I'll beat you at that too?" Raven asked.
"No, I'm not afraid. I know you'll beat me at that too." Kal said.
"Ok, how about we play Wii sports resorts, any game you want?" Raven asked.
"Ok" Kal said. 'Perfect, now I can actually beat her. I know, I'll pick golf, Raven sucks at golf' Kal thought.
//Sometime later//
"What, I lost." Kal said.
"Eeyup" Raven said.
"But how?" Kal asked.
"I don't know but dude for reals, I've beat you like 4 times. Pick something else to play" Raven said.
“But wait, how did I lose, I mean you suck at golf." Kal asked again.
"Kal I don't suck at golf, I just don't like it. So can we play something else? Oh I know how about archery?" Raven asked.
"What, oh hell no Raven. I know for sure you'll beat me at that." Kal said.
"Well what do you want to play, how about canoeing?" Raven offered.
"Ok"
//Sometime later, again//
"Awww yeah, I win. What now?" Kal said.
"I lost. What, I want a rematch." Raven declared.
"Ok"
They started playing, but then the wind picked up and these lights appeared in their house. They were confused and didn't know what was going on. The lights began to focus and the wind became even stronger with every second the lights were there.
Then suddenly the lights became so bright, it hurt to look at them. Then they just busted and Raven and Kal were thrown back against the walls in their house. Raven was thrown against the door and Kal was thrown against the wall but landed on the couch afterwards.
"Ohh my head" Raven said.
"Are you ok Raven?" Kal asked.
"Yeah how about you?" Raven asked.
"I'm fine" Kal said. Then Raven noticed that he was sitting on the couch.
"Hey, how did you get on the couch so fast?" she asked.
"Oh, I hit this wall here and then landed on the couch. Pretty lucky huh?" he asked.
"Yeah, extremely" she said sarcastically. "So what happened, what were those lights and that wind?"
"I have no -" Kal started, but stopped and stared at something in the middle of the floor.
"What’s wrong?" Raven asked while getting up to see what Kal was staring at.
"Oh my pandas" she said.
Raven and Kal were staring at 6 girls in their underwear that have a strong similarity to the mane 6 from the show My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic.
"Ok just what the hell is going on? Why are there 6 girls in their freakin underwear that look a lot like the mane 6 in our living room?" Raven angrily said.
"I-I d-don't kno-ow" Kal said confused and blushed slightly. He then quickly turned around so he was not looking at the girls. Raven then got angrier.
"Oh Kal stop freaking out." she said.
"And why wouldn't I freak out? There are 6 half naked girls in the middle of our living room." Kal said.
"Oh yeah huh" Raven said.
"Oh yeah. How could you forget, you're looking right at them." Kal yelled at her.
"I didn't forget, it’s just not much of a shock to me as it is to you, because you know I am a girl." Raven yelled back.
"Oh yeah sorry." Kal said.
"Its fine" Raven said.
But due to their yelling a few of the girls on the floor started waking up.
"Kal look."
"What?"
A few of the girls sat up, causing Kal to blush and turn around again. Raven looked at him and started laughing. This caused the girls to look at her.
The first girl had dark purple hair that curled a little and had almost snow white skin. She was wearing a bra and underwear that were pure white with a picture of 3 blue diamonds on it. This girl had blue eyes.
The second girl had pink hair that is totally curly and skin that was white colored but not as light as the first girl. She was wearing a pink bra and underwear with a picture of 3 balloons on hers. This girl had light blue eyes.
The third girl had purple hair also but had pink streaks in her's and she had a little bit darker skin then the other two. She was wearing a purple bra and underwear. She had a picture of a 6 pointed star that is surrounded by several smaller white stars on her clothes. This girl had purple eyes.
The fourth girl looked to be the strongest of the bunch. She had blond hair that’s in a ponytail and she had white skin also but she appeared to have a little bit of a tan. She was wearing an orange bra and underwear with the picture of 3 red apples on her clothing. This girl had green eyes.
The fifth girl was probably the coolest looking. She had rainbow colored hair and she also had a light skin color. She was wearing a light blue bra and underwear with a picture of a single rainbow lightning bolt on them. This girl had rose colored eyes.
The sixth girl was the smallest of them all. She had light pink hair that was really long and she too had a light skin tone. She was wearing a yellow bra and underwear with the picture of 3 butterflies on her clothes. This girl had teal or blue-green colored eyes.
"Who are you? Where are we? What happened? Where are the Princesses?" She looked down at herself. "uhhmm What are we?" the purple clothing asked.
"Uhmm, well my name's Raven and this is my brother Kal. You're on Earth or to be more specific you're in Tucson, Arizona. And you're human the same as everyone else. And what princesses are you talking about?" Raven said.
"Well how did we get here?" the one in purple clothing asked.
"I was about to ask you the same thing." Raven said.
"Well, uhhmm..." 'Ohh, think Twilight, I can't tell them what we were really doing. I don't know these or humans, they could be enemies' Twilight thought. "Well let me think, oh yeah the last thing I remember was being in my library with my friends and- Oh my friends." she looked at them and said, "Are you girls ok?"
"Yes darling"
"Yup ah'm alright, Twi"
"Oh I super-duper ok"
"Yeah I'm fine"
"Y-yes I-I'm o-ok"
"And you were saying" Raven asked.
"Well you see we were uhh, getting ready for something and uhh..." the purple one said. ’Oh got to think of something' Twilight thought. Luckily Rarity came to her rescue.
"What she means to say is that we were getting ready for a trip and we thought teleportation might be a quicker way of getting there, but something went wrong and we ended up here, in your uhh, living room." the one in white clothing said.
"Yeah, that sounds just about right, I guess" the purple ones said. She shot a look of thanks to Rarity.
"Ok," Raven said confused. "Man that must have been one hell of a teleportation spell."
"Hey can we get your names, we told you ours so can you tell us yours?" Kal asked.
"Oh yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle" The purple one said," And this is Applejack" She pointed to the orange one. "Pinkie Pie" She pointed to the pink one. "Rarity" she pointed to the white one. "Rainbow Dash" she pointed to the blue one. "And Fluttershy" she pointed to the yellow one.
"Wow, Kal it is really them. It’s the mane 6" Raven said.
