//------------------------------// // Starved For Help: First Encounter // Story: The Mane 6 And Lee Everett // by Can-dees_Murder_Weapon //------------------------------// Ben, Travis and their teacher David Parker finds a small cabin in the woods however; they did not enter it straight away. Mr. Parker wants to make sure there wasn't anything dangerous inside. "Ben, Travis? Stay here, alright? I need to make sure there's no one inside that may try to harm us," David cautiously says. His students complied and waited. The cabin looks very rusty and it also does look empty but David needs to be sure. For his students, well his only students now. The rest are probably dead or maybe worse. David puts his head against the door to hear for any movement that might come from the inside. Fortunately, he just hears silence. He gets a sense of relief but he still needs to get inside. David pulls back his head and he grasps the door knob. He was not surprised (seeing as the cabin looks like it was built a century ago) when he felt that it was loose. He turned the knob and he pushed the door open just by an inch to peek through. Curse this door! it has now earned the title of the most squeaky door in history! David thought. The door was by all means squeaky, it was beyond loud. No point now! He thought. He swings the door open ready to take on any danger that will come. "COME ON! FIGHT ME!" ...Nothing came, he looks around and he sees that the cabin only had one room. He glances over to a stove which has a kettle. It is dirty... too dirty. The window behind the stove provides just enough light to see what is on the stove. I could have just looked through the window... doesn't matter now, David thought. It occupies some type of weird brown and red subsubstance. "There's no way... no. way. Am I touching that," David mutters to himself. He speed walks back outside. "Guys, it's empty. Let's go," he tells his students. He walks back inside followed by his two students. "Uhhh, w-what is that?" Travis points to the stove. He then gags. "I don't know and I don't think I want to know, Travis." David walks over to a wall and takes a sit with his back up against it. "Oh Ben! Close the door, please and lock it if it has one." Ben nods and closes the door. He glances around for a lock but does not found anything. "There isn't a lock." "Alright, just leave it then," David says. No one says anything for while. Until Ben speaks up. "So... what do we do now?" David closes his eyes and sighs. "I don't know... wait? We wait for others, I guess." He looks at Ben with a sad expression. "If they're still alive, that is..." David goes into deep thought. Ben nods and sits down against a wall. Travis sits down next him. 46 minutes later... Mr. Parker wakes up from his nap decided to take. He finds Travis looking out the window. "Travis? What's wrong?" David asks. "Oh! Mr. Parker, I thought I heard something," Travis cautiously says. David immediately stands up and walks over to the window where Travis was. He does not see anything. I have no idea where those... bandits came from or where they are. But if they live in the woods... we need to leave now... we've waited long enough, David thought. "Alright, Travis get away from the window." Travis complies. David looks over to Ben who is having a nap. He walks over to him and starts tapping on his shoulder. Ben wakes up and sits up. "Mr. Parker? W-what's wrong? Is everyone safe?" Sadly, David shakes his head slowly. "No, but we need to leave now." "Why? Is someone here? Is it those biters?" "I don't know, but we've waited long enough. Those bandits might find us again, and we should leave just in case. They might live in the woods as well," David convinces Ben. David walks over to Travis. "Travis, we should leave now," David calmly says. "Yeah-yeah sure, I agree. Lets just go," Travis seems like he's on the edge of panicking, David notices. "Travis? Travis listen, we're gonna go now, okay? We'r-" "Maybe we can find other people that we can rely on," Ben suggests. David looks at Ben "That might be a good idea!"- David looks back at Travis -"Travis, come on now." Travis nods eagerly and they all left the cabin. They've walked a great distance from the cabin but they're not out of woods yet... literally. They have been walking and no one has said anything. All three of them are impatient, wondering when there'll be a clearing. "Okay, seriously. How far do these trees GO?" David was about to reply to the question Travis asked when he feels sharp, what feels like claws plunge into his right shin. He lets out a blood curdling scream... 46 minutes earlier... Twilight Sparkle groans and her eyes open. She gasps and stands up swiftly. She quickly takes note of her surroundings. She looks around and all she sees is grass... grass, dead leaves and trees. Every direction was looks like they lead into the woods. She looks down and sees her friends all passed out. She glances around again. "Are... are we still in the Everfree Forest? It seems more... bright." Twilight looks back to her friends and goes to wake them up. "Girls? Girls! Wake Up!" She doesn't receive a response. "EVERYPONY, WAKE UP!" All at once, the five mares awake. "Wha? Huh?" "Huh?" "Sweetie Beeeeeelleee, please be keep quiet for a little longer?" Rarity sleepily asks... then her eyes. "Oh, now I remember." Applejack yawns. "Gee,"- Applejack looks around and frowns. -"Umm, where are we?" "I don't know, maybe we never left the Everfree," Twilight says. "You sure? It looks... different. Oh! By the way, what was that orb thing?" "Well... I don't know. A portal? Where did it transported us to though?" "Lets just find a way out of this... forest and we'll figure out where we are," Applejack optimistically says. Twilight smiles and gathers the rest of her friends. "Alright, girls. We may have been transported somewhere-" "MAY? seriously, Twilight? Look around. Does this look like the Everfree Forest to you?" Rainbow Dash exclaims. "No, but"- Twilight pauses for a moment then continues. -"but, we may still be in Equestria." "That... yeah, good point," Rainbow Dash backs down. "Yes anyway, since we're in a forest... we'll just look for a way out, Rainbow Dash can fly up out of the forest to see where we are?" "On it!" Rainbow flies up and she looks around. In the distance she sees a structure. With a large sign. It was too far to see what it says so, she flies back down. "Alright, I took a look and I saw a building or something with a sign and hold on!"- Rainbow Dash flies back up and back down again. -"It's in that direction!" She pointed to the south. "Great! Thanks Rainbow," Twilight thanked her. Rainbow Dash stands straight and tilts her head upwards with a smile. "Yeah, I know I'm awesome." "Alright girls, lets go." Twilight walks in the direction to where the structure was. Her friends followed... 45 minutes later... The six mares have been walking for a while, with little conversations here and there. "Should I fly up again? To see how close we are now," Rainbow asks. "That would be great, Dash," Twilight says with a smile. Rainbow does the same thing she did before and she decides to look deeper into the woods. She spotted a small cabin. She lands on a pile of leaves and inspects it further to detail. After she was done she flew back to her friends. "Okay! I saw how far that building is and we're almost there! Also, I found a cabin up ahead. Probably like, I don't know five minutes?" Rainbow Dash tells Twilight. "Alright, thanks Rainbow!" Twilight Sparkle says. "No problem!" After a few minutes, they see a cabin come into view. "There it is!" Rainbow Dash flies ahead. The others run to catch up to her. "This thing looks like it's ready to fall apart." Applejack walks over to the entrance and sees the door is already open. "This is just horrid! Who builds a house in the middle of a forest?" Rarity exclaims. "Umm, Zecora?" Fluttershy answers Rarity. "That was a rhetorical question, Fluttershy," Rarity bluntly says. "Oh." "Come on girls, Rainbow Dash said we're almost out of here, lets keep going." All of them listen and start walking away. As soon as they left the premises they heard an ear-piercing scream. All of the mares hearts jump out of their chests. They stood there in paralysed in fear. "W-w-wha? What was that?" Rarity timidly asks. "Uh uh-I-I don't know!" Applejack answers. "S-should we see if he or she or IT is okay?" Fluttershy suggests. Twilight looks at Fluttershy "You're right, somepony could be in danger. Come on, Girls!" They all ran to the source of the shrieking scream. It takes them a couple of minutes until they find the source. There they stood, staring at two tall figures and it looks like there's one on the ground. It was screaming. Then the tall one notices them and starts frantically tapping the other one next to it on the shoulder. "TRAVIS! TRAVIS! LOOK!" the creature yells frightened. "What is-" The creature known as Travis started screaming. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" Travis yelled. "I-I DON'T KNOW!" The two creatures stare at the six mares in fear. "Holy shit..." they all hear a new voice and they look over to the source. The mares see the two new creatures. They notice that one of them has a darker tone and is holding an axe. The other was holding a... large object. "Lee, tell me you see this as well," the lighter one said. "Yeah...yeah, I'm seeing it." Lee looks bewildered. "Umm, excuse me but where are we?" Twilight asks in reluctance. "W-what, i-it can talk?" Lee speaks up, "L-lets just deal with this later. Right now we need to save this mans life!" "Lee!"- Another comes running into the scene -"You guys ok- What the fuck is that!?" It looks at the mares. "Kenny, we'll deal with it later!" Lee says. "oh no, BITERS!" Travis yells. Lee looks over to the herd of walkers that were coming their way. "Kenny, keep them off of me! Mark, get the boys back. Umm, you"- Lee points to the mares. -"get behind us. Do. Not. Go near those walkers!" The mares follow his order. "Umm, why?" Twilight asks. "Because they're dangerous! They'll kill you!" Lees response scare them but they listen. Fluttershy was cowering behind Rarity, Pinkie Pie seems fine(as usual), Applejack, Twilight and Rainbow Dash were ready to fight. BANG! The loud bang scare the mares. Twilight looks over to the large object in Kennys hands. Interesting... Twilight thought. BANG! BANG! "I'm gonna have to cut you out..." Lee sadly says. "NO! wait! Try-try the trap again! Anything but that!" David pleads. The bear trap was embedded into his shin with no release latch. "I'm sorry, there's no other way..." Lee says. David starts sobbing loudly. Lee lifts up his axe ready to chop off the teachers leg. "WAIT!" Lee stops and lowers his axe. He looks over to Twilight who is walking over to them. "I can help! I can get him out!" Lee looks at Twilight in disbelief but he lets her. The one with glasses, Mark disagrees. "Lee, what are you doing!? Seriously!?" "Mark! Be quiet!"- Lee kneels down to Twilights level. -"What do you mean?" He says calmly. "I can release the... trap." Lee waits for her to continue. But she doesn't, instead a purple aura surrounds the bear trap and it starts vibrating which causes the teacher to scream. Lee watches in pure shock. "I'm just wasting bullets now!" Kenny lowers his gun. He looks over to Lee. "What the hell?" TWANG! Twilight forces the claws open in a flash. The teacher finally stops screaming but obviously still in pain. David looks at Twilight "Thank you! Thank you so much!" Twilight smiles. Mark walks over to assist David getting up. "Come on! We gotta move!" Lee yells. Kenny, the mane six and everyone runs except for Travis. "TRAVIS!" Ben yells frantically. Travis turns around and sees two walkers inches away from him. He screams in terror, he tries backing up but trips and falls instead. The two walkers were about to start chomping on him until Applejack came just in time to kick them both down. She immediately turn to Travis "WELL? GET YOUR FLANK MOVING!" Travis stands up and runs towards Lee along with Applejack. "Alright, come on! We can't stay here any longer!" Lee says and they all flee the area. END OF CHAPTER...
