Paraplexed

Haven

My vision eventually recovering, slowly morphing from brown fuzzy shapes and gradually reclaiming the definition and clarity of my sight. Searching around with the distorted shapes becoming more defined, at last, morphing into a room. Feeling my body relaxing in a bed with pastel and dark orange diamond-shaped patches with butterflies applique sewn in between them.

The pale while spongy mattress having a distinctive contrast with deep blue wooden bed frames fitted with wooden shaped hearts on each corner. The walls also having planks and beams to support the roof structurally stable with oily faded pink wallpaper in between them. There beside me to my right a bright violet stone chimney standing the soot marks on the brick and motar of the fireplace indicating that it had seen plenty of usage though the years.

Suddenly, hearing footsteps approaching from the staircase right in front of me. The smell of freshly squeezed tomatoes greeting my nostrils. Feeling a twinge of pain lancing through my head and crying out from the pain. The figure in the shadows rushing towards me.

"Are you okay!?” A gentle sounding female voice inquiring her tone of voice heavy with worry.

The shadowy client slowly beginning to make itself known as light vanquishing from the mystery of my visitor. Turning out to be a young pegasus mare with a bright yellow coat and a long pink straight mane cresting over her forehead an ending in an s shape at the bottom. The left side her parted hair cascaded downward and curling up at the end.

“Yea I guess so” Saying to her

“Where am I ?” Looking about the room attempting to obtain some clue of where I am. Did I run far enough? Would they ever think of looking for me in this location." Even a newspaper would at least give me some notion of where I ended up.

“You’re in my cottage, in my bedroom. I found you at my door, so I brought you up here, I was so worried I! I mean decending to the pavement in a dead faint like that"

Pink Strands falling in front of her eyes and feeling a little bit uncertain, not knowing what to say to her.

“Where is your cottage?” Asking her

“Its on the outskirts of ponyville.”

“Ponyville ?”

"Um... its about 50 miles in the south-southwest of Canterlot in the Equestrian Kingdom. I figured that you're not from around here, I've never seen you around town before!"

Placing her hoof in the direction of a village in the distance.through her windows with a blackened mahogony mutins, dividing the windowpane into four sctions.

“What’s your name .” Shyly asking putting her front hoof behind her right one.

“Xareth” Saying to her.

“Oh um… I’m um… Fluttershy.” Replying

“Where are you from ?” Her asking.

“I can’t remember, I'm so sorry, I don't think its near here.” Saying to her.

“Its okay.” Fluttershy replying.

“Here, I brought you this,” saying while Putting her fore hooves on the coffee table and bringing over a white round soup bowl with the smell of fresh tomatoes fuming around the room and gently placing it on my lap.

“Um… I made this for um… you…” Speaking very softly.

“Thanks!”

DIpping the spoon into the heated soup holding the spoon in the crook of my hoof. Due to my hunger, the savory aroma seemed much more intensely sharper. the creamy texture causing my ravenous stomach to growl loudly. Slowly and with caution, beginning to place the delectable smelling food into my maw. It was delicious and I greedily plunged the spoon into the liquid haven resuming to pour the soup into my hungry belly.

Looking up at her with a slight smile on her face, I was grateful for her hospitality and wanting to thank her for it.

“Thanks for the soup” Saying to her while scraping the last spoonful of the soup from the bottom of the bowl and emptying the spoons content into my mouth.


“Great! I’m glad you liked it!” her voice sounding somewhat louder and a little more confident her eyes closed and a big smile spead upon her face."

Passing the now empty bowl with the spoon in it to Futtershy and watching her put it on the table. Watching her coming close me and seating on the bed beside me.

“Can you remember anything else?” asking me.

“Well, all that I can remember is that I was running away from something and frantically knocking on your door before I passed out in front of your door.”

"Oh my ... um I hope you are okay now ?"

" Yea I think so."

Attempting to get out of bed while feeling a sharp pain where my wings attach to my body and letting out a loud "Ahhhhh!" again. Fluttershy rushing over towards me putting her hooves on my sides trying to help me up but slipping on top of me. Feeling her body gently brushing against my body lying on top. Feeling the warmth of my cheeks, trying not to alert or look at her, trying to remain calm. Fluttershy Immediately tripping forwards falling onto my stomach.

"Sorry!" apologizing at the same time.

Fluttershy slowly crawling off me and saying
"You sound very ill, I think you should rest for a while longer.

Nodding at her and saying "Yeah."

Lying back down in her bed, suddenly feeling inexplicable tired for some reason.Seeing my sight sading with my sight progressing towards complete darkness.
