I woke up screaming and I’m a cold sweat. I saw the three mares looking at me in shock and horror. I remembered every detail about the dream. I fell a wet substance on my cheek and I rubbed it off. I didn’t stare at the group of mates anymore. I was staring through them with so much fear shown you could see it in trottingham.
“John, what... what happened?” Twilight asked. I looked at her and said two words.
“The nightmare.” She widened her eyes in horror as mom showed her the dream. Now she remembers the full dream and is processing to throw up in a conjured up trash. That night mare was extremely disturbing from a different point of view, I was so use to being the one tortured and not watching.
The other two left and soon after they leave my room they leave the library, most likely to Pinkie Pie. Ask Twilight to leave so I can change. She left and I got dressed. My mind raced. I have that nightmare once every year. But I cannot remember what it was, until I looked at a calendar. My birth was tomorrow. I shutter at the pink mares rath when it comes to something like this. Better sooner than later.
We walked down the streets of ponyville and, like running, I clear my mind and try to not thank of that dream. Walking to town hall I now noticed there was no pony outside. I lowered my stance in preparation of a fight. I wasn’t paying attention to what they were saying because I was to observant of our surroundings. Until I heard Pinkie calling us.
“Spike..., Twilight, John. Come here before she gets you.” Pinkie said. The other two jumped in and I was pulled in. “Thank god we got to you before she did.” That only left me wandering. Who was she.
“Who is it? The zombie pony?” Spike asked while clinging to Twilight.
“Z-zombie pony?” Pinkie repeated with each word dripping fear. This action caused Spike to become even more scared.
“The only zombies are the ones the Baltimore witches made over two hundred years ago. Plus there in a different planet and they made it illegal to do that practice.” I say matter-of-factly.
“Really?” Twilight asked not believing me.
“Well it was only them trapping the soul of a dog in its own hollowed out skull. The Baltimore witches are pretty fucked up. Killing a good thousand people before Daude stopped them. I had to call in a practice report when someone asked me to bring him a small child and trust me if I did it the only thing that child would see is crimson. You can probably guess why.” I finished my explanation with only guessing how many got killed. We still find bodies and skeletons sense Delilah’s defeat.
“Why are you in here alone n in the dark?” Twilight asked. I quickly answered.
“She isn’t alone. The rest of the girls are behind us plus Apple Bloom.” I said baffling the rooms occupants.
“How did you know we where here?” Rainbow asked.
“Just because I have a keen eye doesn’t mean my other senses aren’t sharp.” I humphed and looked a way. “So why are you all in here.”
“We’re hiding from her.” She pointed to a cloaked figure digging at the dirt and I instantly recognized it as a zebra. I could already feel my blood begin to boil. I bared my grinding teeth.
“What are you racist!?” I shouted my anger reaching it limits. “If that’s the case why don’t you runaway from me. I actually attacked somepony.” I said. “Your acting like the people that shouldn’t be mentioned.” They look at me angrily but noticed my pained expression. That moment flashing back and tears were flowing.
“Who?” Fluttershy asked.
“I’m not opening old wounds. It’s in the past and it’s how my best friend died.” I said earning glares for being so vague.
“How?” She asked. Twilight wanted to answer, but couldn’t. Everypony noticed it, but say what just hearing about it can do. They stopped pushing.
“Well on a lighter note, tomorrow is John’s birth day.” She said changing the subject. I walked over to Apple Bloom and asked if she wanted to go confront this zebra. She nods and we slowly walk out.
When we entered the Everfree Forest she avoided the blue flowers so we did too. When she exited glowing yellow eyes met her’s. Before it pounced I used blink and appeared in front of her.
When it pounded I pulled out a knife and stabbed it in the neck. Before it died I realized it was only one of it’s pack, but the biggest. Was it their Alfa. When I pulled my knife free from its neck it sunk its teeth into my left shoulder. I screamed and heard the girls. I quickly cut the throat opened. It’s jaw tensed up and broke the bone. I scream louder and look behind me to see the seven girls. I grip the jaw and top of the mouth and forced the timber wolve’s teeth out my skin. The rest back off.
I clutched my shoulder in pain and looked down to see a steady stream of blood that coded my entire arm and making a steady stream of blood from my hand to the ground, making a puddle of blood. I remembered the elixir I had came to mind.
“Twilight!” I yelled.
“Y-yes?” She answered shakily.
“Go into my room and find a box labeled admire elixir. Get one and give it to me.” I finish and she disappeared in a flash of light. The rest walk into the blue flowers.
“Beware, beware you pony folk. That plant is not a joke.” The zebra said. I try to walk over to them but collapse into the blue flower.
They smelled nice. I hear a pop and I lift my head to see Twilight. I smile at her and grab the elixir and drink it. With a loud, sickening crack my bone mends and my wounds close. I get up and I only feel a bit sore. But I could live with it.
“Beware, beware, beware!” She kept exclaming. At us Applejack walked over to Apple bloom and picked her up over the flower.
“Get out of here with your voodoo sayings!” Applejack exclaims loudly.
That night I had a restless night. When I woke up I heard the girls at the bottom of the stairs arguing at each other. When I got of my bed I felt smaller. I walked to my bathroom to look in the mirror. I had to jump on to my toilet to get on the counter. I noticed that I had a paw and was a quadruped. When I looked in the mirror I only yelled, “YES!!!” I was so happy. When the others looked at me Fluttershy squeed and ran over to me and hugged me.
“Who are you? What are you?” She asked.
“It’s me John.” She backed away when hearing my voice. “For what I am, I’m an Eevee. My favorite Pokémon.” They were all changed. Applejack was an inch tall. Twilight’s horn was floppy. Rainbow Dash had her wings on her chest. Rarity was covered in elongated fur. Pinkie had a swollen tung. Lastly, Fluttershy sounded like a man. “I, for one, like my appearance. I’m so adorable.” I nuzzled my tail and I heard a collective D’awww. “It’s a dream come true. Twilight when we go to the gala, remind me to get cursed, so I can become this.”
“See even he said it was a curse!” Rainbow said.
“Actually its more of a blessing.” I say in a higher pitch voice which get me hugged by Rainbow Dash.
“I can’t resist!” Rainbow was in sear bliss.
“No one can rest the Eevee! It’s too fucken cute.” I yell not minding my cussing. When Twilight hugged me I let of a purring noise. She only hugged me tighter. “No one! Can resist.”
“Now, darlings, even though I can’t see him I can hear him, but can we get back to the task at hand.” Rarity asked.
“Ya, that evil witch did this to us.” Rainbow said. My blood began to boil even more. I now let off a growling noise. “What?!” She asked angrily.
“Do you, girls, know what it’s like to be discriminated?” I asked and received no answer. “ANSWER ME!!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.
“How do you know?!” Rainbow retorted weakly.
“Because I was nearly tortured to death just because I was poor!” My tears fell freely. “We saved them from a evil void user, and they kidnapped us and his parents. Me and my friend saved them. We didn’t deserve any of it.”
His mom had her eyes ripped out of their sockets and her organs thrown across the floor. For fuck sakes, they fucking rapped her. His dad had is jaw torn off and his kidneys halfway down his throat. They sawed of his legs while he was choking to death. That was only the first day.” My voice was shaky and raged.
“For a month straight we were bruised, bloodied, broken, and burned. The last thing my friend felt was being thrown upset down for an hour to let the blood rush to his head before... before... before they sawed him in half.” I was outwardly crying. “They forced me to eat them for a week before I escaped. They forced me to watch everything. Their reasoning was that sense I was poor, I was a rat and all those that help me will die before me.”
“‘The pure blessing’ was what they were called. And all this happened because I was treated differently because I was poor after my parents death. I was looked down upon everyone, just because I was poor. And they died because they helped me.
“After I escaped someone went in and killed everyone inside. Thirty dead, and I was framed. All because I was slightly different.” The last sentence dripping with anger at the cyan mare.
“We are going to that zebras home and you all are apologizing.” I commanded. They all gazed at the ground. I think Rarity did. It’s hard to tell with all that hair.
I marched in front of them with the most pissed of face I couldn’t muster in this cute body. I wasn’t until we reached the ponyville market place when somepony spoke.
“Are you still angry, darling?” Rarity asked.
“There is angry and peeved.” All the mares gasped at my language. “I’m absolutely, motherfucking pissed and disgusted at this towns actions to that zebra. She did nothing wrong and everypony judged her on looks alone. I was different and the only one on this planet that is human, yet everypony welcomed me with open arms. And don’t think I forgot about your apology.” I heard them grown.
Walking into the everfree forest, we pass the blue flowers and to see a twisted tree that has been carved out to be a house. I knock at the door and the zebra opens the door.
“Hello, are you the zebra I saved from the timber wolf, by any chance?” I ask.
“I’m Zacora, and you I live in this part of the everfree. Come in, I’m brewing tea.” She rhymed. Well at lest if I need her, I know she doesn’t have other camps.
“Thank you for your hospitality.” I give a small bow as an Eevee.
I told her on what happened and she examined the damage. Rainbow was asked to fly and she flew into her brew. She wasn’t mad at her because she was only following directions.
When I asked what caused this. She answered with the blue flowers we stepped in, or in my case nearly died in. The plant was called poison joke. I asked if I could get a flower or two to take home. When she questioned, I told her if I want to become this again. She nodded and I now have six poison joke flowers.
We went to the ponyville spa to get a big enough tube to get in. Mom and my two aunts came to see me after a month. I was nearly crushed to death by the three rulers.
“By the way Zacora, what book did you find this in?” Twilight asked. She held up a book that said ‘supernaturals: natural remedies that are just super.’ “Sorry, Zecora. I dismissed it because it was just a weary name and there’s nothing supernatural about anything.” I glare at her only making my self look cuter.
“I take offense to that!” I yell in my eevee voice.
I walk in and dunk my head. I constantly reminding myself where my poison joke is. I come back up and look at my hands. I pat the top of my head to find two ears. I try to move a tail, like how I did when I was an eevee. I still had it’s tail. Everypony laughs at my misfortune. I grown in announcing as I now have to figure out how to maintain it and how to fight with out it being in my way. Just my luck.
