Running With the wind

On the Run

"Found you," The first stallion said as he pulled Sweetie Belle out of the bush she was sleeping In. Sweetie tried to scream as she was forcibly removed from the bush.

Sweetie awoke with a jolt. she was surprised that she didn't scream, But then again she was probably expecting Rarity to come in and smack her. Because normally if she had a nightmare about say Rarity hitting her and she woke up and screamed Rarity would come in her room and hit her.

She climbed out of the bush and looked around. It seemed to be early morning which was perfect because not a lot of people would be out and about. So she decided to take a walk and more importantly get out of the westside. It was a nice day out aside from the fact that it looked like it might rain later but, that didn't bother her.

Sweetie continued to walk through the large city still trying to avoid possibly dangerous people. She was also kind of trying to avoid the police because they might be after her too Then the worst thought hit her 'What if the mafia is after me?' That was a terrifying thought that she wished she never had. But she knew that she had to keep walking because the sooner that she got to the southside the sooner she might be in the clear.

Even though it was early she still had to keep her head on a swivel just to make sure because you never know who could be out and about even this early.

Sweetie Barely had time to take another step before she saw a terrifyingly familiar face. It was one of the stallions that attempted to abduct her yesterday. She dove behind a nearby dumpster but, unfortunately, her hoof made contact with the dumpster making a loud thud. Sweetie knew she had one option. She didn't look back to see if he noticed she just knew. She took off down the alleyway soon after hearing hoofsteps galloping after her. She was hoping that he would yell something at her but unfortunately, he was smart and knew that yelling would alert the police.

Sweetie took a sharp right turn out of the alley and into another alley. She knew that she needed to get to the main street but, she didn't know her way around the city much less the back alleys. So she just tried to retrace her steps to get back out which was easier said than done considering that she had a scary stallion chasing after her.

Suddenly a great idea popped into Sweetie's head. "HELP!" She yelled. It was a longshot and could end up attracting some of his friends but she figured that it couldn't hurt. He was catching up to her at an alarming rate and she was not to keen on finding out what he and his gang would do to her even though Sweetie was pretty sure she knew what they would do to her but, that was even more incentive to get away it gave her a boost in energy and she sped up.

"Shut up you little shit!" He nearly yelled. "You won't get away this time!" He said. Sweetie ignored him and kept running.

And then out of nowhere, a second stallion ran out of an adjacent alley and slammed into Sweetie at full speed. She was knocked to the ground. It was a wonder that she didn't lose consciousness but, she knew that she had to get up her life possibly depended on it.

With all her strength she pushed herself to her hooves and barely managed to get out of the way the first Stallion who dove at her trying to tackle her. Everything hurt her head, her legs, her back but, she knew that she had to continue to push forward. As she ran as fast as her body could take her she heard one of the stallions yell. "She's getting away dumbass!" Sweetie looked over for a second to see the first stallion start to chase her again. The second stallion appeared to be knocked out. This caused a small wave of pride to come over Sweetie not only was she escaping the two stallions she appeared to have knocked one out albeit accidentally.

Sweetie continued to make her way towards the main street but, he was still gaining on her rapidly. She needed a plan something to get him off her back just for a few seconds. She quickly hatched a plan. She was going to turn down one of the alleys and wait for him and then buck him as hard as she could. It was a little farfetched but she figured that it was possible to pull off.

She pulled off on a narrow alley and waited there. As soon as he came screaming around the corner Sweetie put everything she had into her buck. She was shocked when he caught both her hind legs.

"That was stupid move kid." He said as his glare pierced Sweetie's soul. She looked around for anything she could use. Her eyes landed on a rock that looked rather sharp. She grabbed it and threw it with all her might right at his face. "Fuck!" He yelled as he dropped Sweeties' legs and clamped his hooves to his eye.

Sweetie took this time to run out of the narrow alley and back into the main alley. She looked back to see the other stallion still laying on the ground. She never thought that she could ever do something like that to a pony but, she had to do it.

Sweetie eventually found her way back to the main road. She took a second to catch her breath. After she was done catching her breath she continued to walk into the city that was slowly starting to wake up. She tried to blend into the crowd as best as she could.

Sweetie then realized something, she left her saddlebag in the bushes that she slept in last night. All of the colors drained from her face as she realized that she would have to go back to the mansion to retrieve her bag. Her biggest worry was that the occupants of the mansion would be awake and she would get caught digging in their bushes.

Sweetie slowly turned around and started to backtrack through the city. She didn't know where she was going but she had a small idea of what direction she was supposed to go.

A short time later she caught sight of the large mansion. She slowly approached the bush that she fell asleep in. She reached her hoof into the bush and after a small time of feeling around, she finally found it. she managed to pull the bag out of the bush. She put the bag on and started to walk away.

But before she could make it two steps she heard someone yell "Hey!".
