Chapter Two: Savior, Definitely
{Lisa's POV}
I wake up the next morning to a clear sky with a bright sun. It looked like it was going to be a beautiful day! Perfect. I could lead the mane-6 through the Everfree and not have to worry about that, thing. For some reason it didn't like sunny days. Of course, it could still attack but, I think it learned it's lesson to not screw with me those fourteen years ago. I'm still surprised I knocked it out for that long. Guess I don't know my own strength. Anyways, I walk into the living room to see everypony still sleeping. I smiled, well, I would have if I had a mouth. Strange thing is, even though I don't have facial features, people can tell what they are. It's like this, feeling that they get. They can tell when I'm smiling, where I'm looking, stuff like that. I was still a little groggy so I went to make coffee. Good thing my friend gave me a coffee machine. As I started to make it, Twilight woke up. She walked into the kitchen.
"Oh morning," Twilight said.
"Morning," I replied. "How do you like your coffee?"
"I like it with a little bit of cream and sugar added," she said.
"I like mine straight black," I said. I finished making our coffee, and we sat down at the table.
"I think I'll make some pancakes once everypony's up," I said, sipping my coffee afterwards.
"Um, how do you drink that when you don't have a mouth?" Twilight asked.
"That is one of the many questions I ask myself everyday," I said, then I continued to sip my coffee. Suddenly, A portal to the void opened, and a newspaper from Ponyville came out. I looked up to the portal.
"Thanks!" I shouted.
"No problem!" a slightly insane demonic, but not deep, voice replied. The portal then closed.
"Um, what?" Twilight said.
"I have powerful friends," I replied as I took my reading glasses from the center of the table and began to read.
"But, what kind of, creature, could do that?" Twilight asked.
"Like I said, REALLY powerful friends," I replied. I read the front page news. Apparently the mane-6 not returning home last night spelled some trouble. They were last seen heading into the Everfree forest, but hadn't been seen since. Man, ponies were panicky. I then read then next story. This one slightly pissed me off. It was titled, "New Monster In The Everfree Linked to Element's Disappearance?" Really, I mean, really? It said that the CMC had told news reporters about how they met me, and how their sisters and their sisters' friends had went out to search for me. They had conveniently left out how I saved them from a timberrwolf, and the princess had been notified. Great, just great. I sighed.
"What is it?" Twilight asked. I showed her the article. "Oh."
"No offence, but you ponies are panicky," I said.
"Non taken," Twilight said. "After all that is slightly true." I nodded. Suddenly there was random green fire mist coming through my window. It turned into fire, then into a letter. Twilight began to read the letter.
"What is it?" I asked, as if I didn't already know.
"It's a letter from Spike," Twilight said. "He's my-"
"I already know who he is," I said. "I can read minds remember?"
"Right," Twilight said sheepishly. "Anyways, it says that he had told Celestia that I was missing, and that she was coming to look for me, along with a huge amount of guards."
"Really?" I said. Twilight nodded.
"Hey, this is the perfect opportunity to introduce you two!" Twilight said.
"Yeah maybe, I would love to mee-" I started to say, but I was cut off by the BOOM of thunder. I froze, then ran up to a nearby window. The sky had become covered with gray clouds. Oh no. How did I miss that? I ran over to Rainbow Dash and shook her awake.
"Rainbow!" I yelled.
"Huh, wha-?" she said. "Okay I'm up I'm up geez."
"Is there supposed to be a thunder storm today?" I asked in a panic.
"Uh, yeah I think so, why?" she said. I ran to the door.
"None of you leave until it becomes a sunny day okay?" I said. "Don't leave the house, no matter what you see or hear. My friend will keep you all fed, and will keep that thing away."
"Wait, what?" Twilight asked as everypony else started waking up. "Why? Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Celestia," I said.
"Why?" Twilight asked.
"Because that thing likes cloudy weather," I said, then ran out of the house and into the forest.
I had been searching for half an hour but I still couldn't find Celestia or her guards. One thing I did know was that it was here, and it was following something. I could only hope it was some wild animal or something, but I knew it was most likely Celestia. After all, that thing only goes after ponies. I ran through the forest, gaining on it. I don't think it's noticed me yet. Either that, or it doesn't care that I'm following it. Probably the second option. I then heard voices.
"All clear over here!" said one voice.
"All clear over here too!" said another. They were coming from that thing's direction. I needed to move! I was not going to let another life be lost at the hands of that thing! I then found the group. I hid behind a tree and waited. That thing was straight across from me, in front of them. I couldn't jump it just yet. If I did, Celestia would catch me, and that thing would escape. And so I waited.
{Celestia's POV}
I sighed. We still had found no trace of Twilight and her friends. We were getting deep into the Everfree forest. We had to find that creature and punish it for what it's done. Suddenly, I heard a growl. It was coming from a bush that was in front of us. At first, I thought it was a timberwolf, that was until its leg came out of the bush. It was long and skinny, and you could see the creature's bones up against the skin. It then fully stepped out. It was a hunched over bipedal creature. It was completely gray, and it had black holes for eyes and a mouth. Its fingers were long and ended in claws. It was incredibly skinny. The poor thing must have been starving. I had never seen anything like it before, but it didn't match the description of the monster that those three fillies provided.
"S-So hungry, s-so cold," it said. I smiled and took out some food.
"Here, do you want some?" I asked.
"So hungry, so cold," it said again not moving.
"Well here," I said offering the food once more.
"So hungry, so cold," it repeated. It said that over and over again. I started to feel worried. Then, it's tune of repetition stopped.
"I will no longer be hungry! I will no longer be cold!" it shouted. It then leaped at me. I panicked and was about to fire a spell, when a tendril of darkness knocked it out of the air. I looked to my left to see were it had come from, and then I saw it. The monster that matched the description. It looked to me.
"Celestia!" it cried. "You need to get out of here, NOW!"
"What?" I said. "Who are you, and what is that thing, and where are Twilight and her friends?"
"They're fine!" it yelled back. "They're at my house, safe and sound. If you want to see them, follow that bunny, it'll take you to my house! I'll explain the rest later, NOW GO!" I was about to retort when I heard that thing get back up. I looked to it, and it seemed pretty pissed off. I roared in anger. I looked to the new monster, and nodded. The guards and I followed the bunny the strange creature had pointed to earlier. It lead us through the forest, and we eventually made it to a clearing. In the middle of it was a little log cabin. The door opened, and Twilight came running out.
"Princess Celestia!" she cried. "Are you okay?"
"Yes I'm fine, but what about you?" I asked. "Are you hurt? What did that thing do to you?"
"She didn't do anything," Twilight said. "After she saved the CMC from some timberwolves, we went out to find her. We went in pretty deep and found this house. It was her house, and she and Applejack apparently knew each other. I'll tell you about that later. Anyways, we found out that she's actually really nice and we were about to leave when she told us to stay with her for the night. Apparently there's something out there that only comes out at night or cloudy days and it's supposed to be scary and aggressive. So we stayed the night. The next morning, Spike sent me a letter that told me you were coming to search for me. Then it started it get cloudy and she ran out to look for you so that thing wouldn't get to you." Celestia just listened. If what Twilight said was true, then this monster wouldn't actually be all that bad.
"By the way, were's Lisa?" Twilight asked.
"Who?" I asked back.
"Lisa, the girl who let us stay here," Twilight said.
"Well," I said "whatever thing that she told you about was, it ran into us. It was going to attack, but then she stopped it. I think she's still fighting it." Twilight gasped.
"Well then we have to go out there and find her!" Twilight said.
"No need," said a familiar voice. I turned around, and saw her. Lisa. She was cut up and bloody all over her body, especially her right arm, which I think was broken. There was blood leaking out of her cuts, and she looked like she was in a lot of pain. She was limping towards us.
"Oh my Celestia!" Twilight cried rushing up to Lisa. "Lisa what happened?" Lisa coughed.
"A... rake... happened..." she said before fainting. Twilight held her up in her magic. She turned to me.
"We have to help her!" Twilight cried. I nodded. We got her into the log cabin. Twilight's friends then noticed what was going on. They had questions but we told them we'd answer them later. We went to Lisa's bedroom and laid her down on the bed. Twilight and I were about to use our magic to heal her, but then her body started to rapidly heal. Soon, all of the cuts were gone, and Lisa looked like she was in a peaceful sleep.
"Huh," I said.
"Certainly wasn't expecting that," Twilight said.
"Come on," I said. "Let us leave her to her sleep." Twilight nodded. We then left the room, and let Lisa rest.
6275498 nope, you'll only get it if you read my other two displaced stories because they first meet him/her there.
"I have powerful friends,"
I get that reference...if it's a reference at all.
6275524 NOPE!
slender-woman. havnt hard of that one before.
more please!
Zalgo? One of Zalgo's proxies? One of Slenderman's proxies? Some other creepypasta I don't know about?
6275856 Rule 63: "For any given male character, there is a female version of that character."
6276005 Just wait and see. Clue: It's one of my OCs
6276018 ...I may have forgotten about that.
6276025 Hmmm... Do you have a Deviantart account?
6276054 NOPE! Well, I do but there's nothing on it. Why?
6276084 Darnit. I could've used it to figure out which OC the mystery OC is!
6276126
i can´t decide if she should do it that often, it is kind of personal after all.
Soooo it maybe would have been nice if they would actually have to take care of her, and the healing would not happen so fast, but i don´t care enough right now, so nice chapter.
You seems to like to make your character invincible in a certain way, probably should be carefull with that, this time it is the fast healing factor, it could even help him in a fight if he is hiding long enough to activate it, since it seems to work pretty fast.
Mostly i just would have liked a nice scene in which they have to help her.
I've been waiting so long for something like this thank you
6276740 they will take care of her while she unconscious. The healing takes much longer to heal her innards, it can just do her skin fast to stop bleeding. Also, it only starts healing her once she is safe, so she can easily die.
6276823 you're very welcome.
a rake a mother f***ing rake?!
6277321 the agents that the merchant sends against my displaced have to been from their genera or world. A rake just seemed to be a good match.
6277328
G man make it happen
Now we just need a Bunyip to be living in the swamp.
Hmm, didn´t know Rakes could talk. All I remember is Steam trying its hardest to sell me a crappy game where you are a cryptozoologist trying to find a Rake.
As for who the mysterious friend is, my money is on Alduin.
6277490
Ah hell no! Ever since that one film from my childhood were a Bunyip (which you never saw, just heard by the way) chased a couple o´kiddies through the Outback, I am deadly affraid of those beasties.
6277520 I suggested it BECAUSE I'm an Aussie.
But if you won't have one of them, how abut a Yowie?
Basically the Australian version of a yeti or Big-foot, but much more aggressive.
If it's a displaced too, at some point it could shout, "I'm not a bloody sasquatch! I'm a Yowie, you mug!"
6277532
Ah, okay.
Hehe, that sounds hillarious in fact. Dammit, why to other countries allways have cooler Cryptids than us?
Oh, this is gonna be good.
6277664 Well, ours are cooler because we have that many fewer.
I like this, MORE!!! Also, for a moment I thought that that thing was a Wendigo
6276840 Action video game characters can heal in similar way....
6276840 well okay.
Well, my money's on Discord. That or Luna.
If Lisa's friend is a Displaced, I would probably say it's Gilgamesh or Umbra.
Well I am officially hooked, nice to see slendy getting a bit of love from the fandom.
Meanwhile I'm trying to get the fandom to view Metal Sonic and E123 Omega better.
But really, great story so far.
hmmm... you could have the rake gain more of a conscience than kill and eat all at some point... just an idea.
more please!
Ugh. Sorry, just...
It's "the guards and I," not "me and the guards."
You can tell which it should be because Celestia wouldn't say "me followed the rabbit."
6278320 oh woops, I'll fix that.
6278838
Again, I apologize for that, but it's an easy fix to make. Of course, it doesn't help that I hardly ever see anyone explain why it needs to be fixed, and that's just terrible.
This way, at least, I'm actually hopefully being helpful, instead of just being a jerk.
6278881 don't worry it was helpful feedback.
I guessing it is the slender man.
On another note, I wonder what the romance tag are for.
I'm sorry I got to the part where Lisa knocks that thing out of the air, and tells Celestia to run. I can't see Celestia losing her cool that quickly, and I cant see her just letting this thing walk up on her like that, I mean seriously, you see a creepy monster with long claws, black pits for eye's, and repeating the same thing over and over. I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure I'd either, run like hell, or fight. The second would most likely get me killed, but at least I'd go down fighting

6279190 The mysterious creature? Fits the description of The Rake betteri.ytimg.com/vi/a2Q07j-bMtw/hqdefault.jpg

6283244 I was referring to the question that the author asked in the end of the chapter, i'm not that stupid.
6277664
Because we beat them at everything else so we have to make them beat us at the creatures that don't matter! MERICA!
That should be written small.
I think that "n" there is too much.
6275498 she said it was the Rake
6292749 no the rake was the monster that attacked her... not her friend
Well then. We need a rake hunter. A certain red-fruit-vegetable-gamer perhaps?

The rake has entered the game. Try and survive the night.
Her friend is Marx
