My sleep did not come easily as it was plagued with nightmares of running from the monster endlessly. When I awoke I rolled onto my back and looked to the ceiling to see if I was home, and the previous day was all just a nightmare.
I looked and saw the ceiling of the small cave and groaned. I wasn't at home. It wasn't a dream. I rose up from my spot. My back and legs were sore the endevor from earlier. I looked out of the cave and saw that it was night. “I must have slept all day. I should probably find the nearest town and find a phone”
I left the cave and began walking up the hill of the beach, and found a dirt road heading to the north. There was a sign by the road that said: Canterlot 1 ½ miles. “ What in the hell is Canterlot?” I wondered aloud. “ Well, maybe they will have a phone.
I began walking along the road towards this “Canterlot.” After about 30-45 minutes of walking I arrived at a large city. The streets went up, like the city was built on a hill. The street lights were on, and the streets were empty. As I walked I was looking for anyone to talk to, and for a payphone. As I walked I came across a flower shop that had it's lights still on. “Finally someone to talk to, I just hope they have a phone.
I walked in and found no one at the front desk. Their was a small bell on the desk that said to ring for assistance. I rang the bell, and heard a womans voice from the back “I'll be with you in just a minute.” I shouted back “Hello? Do you have a phone I can use? I don't know where I am.” She yelled back “ No I don't have a phone, are you ok?” “No. My name is Micheal I woke up in the forest a few miles away, and I don't know how I got there.” “Oh dear.” she cried “ The Everfree forest is not a place to go alone” I chuckled “ Yeah you're telling me.” “ Well I'm coming out” she yelled to me. I sat down and waited. A few moments later I saw a small pony come out from the backroom. It passed by me without a glance, but started looking around with a confused look on it's face. “ I didn't know you had a horse” I shouted to the back room. “ A what?” came the reply, but it was closer now. Like she was behind the desk. The pony now frantically moving it's head back and forth. “ You know a horse” I called back to her. “ I looked over to the pony again and it shook it's head and said “ What is a horse”
I stared at the small pony, my eyes open wide, my jaw hanging down. I stared at the pony “ Did you... just talk... to me?” The pony laid eyes on him for the first time and returned the look I was giving her. “ what... are you?” We stared at each other for what seemed like hours. Terrified I ran from the shop and she ran out the back screaming “ Monster. MONSTER!!”
I ran out into, running the way I came trying to escape this nightmare. I hear the galloping of hooves from the floral shop and risk a look back. The talking pony from the store talking to 2 other horses fully clad in silver armor. She pointed her hoof at me and the 2 horses ran after him. “ You. Stop in the name of the royal guard” Shouted a gruff voice. They were swiftly gaining on me. I started weaving in between trees and bushes just like I did with the monster in the forest. While they didn't smash through like the monster, they were incredibly agile.
As I was running I suddenly heard the flap of wings. I looked back and saw only one “Guard” following me. I looked forward again and saw the second coming towards me. But he wasn't running. He was flying. He had a pair of large wings sprouting from his back, like eagles wings. “ Is he a pegasus” I wondered. He was flying right towards me. When he got close to me I slid like a baseball player and went underneath him and kept running. I didn't see, but heard him crash into his partner. The partner quickly stood, and shouted “ You'll regret that.” Then an arrow flew past me. I looked back and saw a glowing horn on his head, and floating next to him was a bow with a notched arrow. “ A Unicorn?” I started running in zig zags to avoid the arrows flying past me. I finally saw the city limits, and decided to run to the neighboring woods to hide.
Just as I reached the end my left leg exploded with pain. I stumbled and rolled down the streets, before hitting a curb. Painfully I got back up, and saw the guards running towards me. “ I can't let them take me, I just can't. Who knows what they will do to me.” I grunted to my self as I limped down the road. Another arrow grazed my right arm, and left a nasty cut, but I ignored it and I limped as fast as I could into the woods. The guards did not follow
Once I decided it was safe to stop, I layed down in some underbrush, and yet again. Let sleep consume me.
