//------------------------------// // WHAT!?!?!? // Story: Running from Slender // by Undead_Non-Brony //------------------------------// Slender walked through the woods curiously. He knew that the portal had taken him to another dimension, because he knew there were other dimensions. What excited him was the fact that he might get to meet another Slender being! You see, in each dimension, there is another being just like you. So if Slender can find Slender #2, he can make the human's life hell times two! He walked eagerly through the dark forest searching for his counter part. Then he came upon some thing unexpected. A manticore! He didn't know they existed in this dimension as well! But apparently, they weren't very intelligent in this dimension. It attacked Slender ferociously, but didn't anticipate the tentacles. They wrapped around its limbs and head keeping its gaze fixed upon Slender. He walked up to the struggling animal and forced a tentacle down the creatures throat, suffocating it while stealing the fear and life force from it. The manticore tried biting but couldn't move its jaw muscles. It slowly stopped its fight until it had nothing left. Slender dropped the creature which was now half its original size and weight. This meal would hold Slender over for a while. He continued searching. After three hours, he was getting a bit irritated. 'How big is this damned forest!?' he thought. Then he was suddenly attacked... By tentacles!?! _______________________________________________-_-_-_________________________________________________ As Twilight and I walked throught the town, I caught quite a few stares from ponies who saw me. Most ran away, but a few fainted. Which I thought was pretty damn cool. Twilight disagreed. Soon, we reached her abode, which was a huge tree. She opened the door and walked through. I followed, but had to crouch to get through. Inside, I was thown to the ground. By Colmillo! the dog's leg was healed somehow, and was as energetic as ever. "Colmillo! Oh I missed you too, bud!" He whined and kept licking my face. I gently pushed him off of me and sat up. Colmillo sat and looked at me. Then i grabbed him and hugged him. He put his head over my shoulder. We sat like that for a few minutes. Then Twilight coughed and I looked up. She stood there with a genuine smile on her face. "I fixed his leg for you. And I really hate to break you two up, but I would really like to learn about what you are." "Thanks. And fine, as long as I have my dog, I could care less what happens." She seemed a bit bothered by that, but like I said, I didn't care. She shrugged and continued. "All right, first question. What are you?" "I am a human." She wrote some thing down on a piece of paper "Next question, Where are you from?" "I am from Earth." Where is that?" "Ummm... I'm not sure where I am right now, so I couldn't tell ya." She wrote on the paper some more. I could tell, this was gonna take a while. A few hours later, after a vigorous Q&A session, I got some answers. Apparently, I was in some place called Equestria, in a town called Ponyville. They have a dictatorship led by two princess' who have both wing and horn. The first is called Celestia, who raises the sun, and rules during the day. The second is her sister, Luna, who raises the moon and rules at night. I couldn't care less if I tried. The name's of the other ponies I met were Applejack, the one who kicked me, Rainbow Dash, the one who tried to tackle me, Fluttershy, the one who thought she was tough, Rarity, the one with the purple mane, and Pinkie Pie, the pink one as her name suggests. In Equestria, there are Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth Ponies. Again, I didn't care. Then Twilight told me that I could sleep on the couch in her library. I agreed and went to sleep with Colmillo sleeping next to me. When I woke up, it was just beginning to lighten outside. Colmillo was still asleep, and lightly snoring. I chuckled and lightly patted his head. I then got up and walked to the window. The town was quiet. Too quiet. Nah, i'm just fuckin with ya. It was peaceful. But you know that feeling you get when something bad is going to happen? Yeah, I got that feel. I decided to Check my weapons. Everything was in fine condition. So, I sat on the couch for awhile. An entire army of questions had my brain in a siege. How did that portal bring me here? What am I going to do? Am I safe here? Will my past follow me? *sigh* To many questions and no answers in sight. I fell back into sleeps welcoming embrace. I was woken again, but this time by a slamming door. I sat up immediately, as did Colmillo. I heard a voice of a small boy say "Twilight! I'm back from Canterlot!" When I looked, I was... For lack of better words, confused. What I saw looked like a small lizard. It was puple for the most part, aside from its green belly. I must've made a noise because it looked at me. Then yelled "Twilight! There's something in the library!" It went on all fours and hissed. Colmillo got up and growled, excited at the challenge. He walked to the lizard and they both circled each other. My dog lunged, but the reptile was quick it dogded to the side and swiped a claw. Colmillo jumped back and bared his teeth. Then the reptile suprised me. It blew a green flame at my dog. It didn't connect, thank god, because I didn't want my dog to be missing a patch of fur. I ran over to the thing and grabbed it, making sure to keep its mouth closed. Then Twilight rushed down stairs. And the first thing she see's is me. Holding a fire breathing lizard. "PUT DOWN SPIKE!!!" Her horn flares up. Fuck my life. The thing she called 'Spike' was wrenched from my hands. I felt my self getting lifted off of the ground. She seems mad. "That is it! I shouldn't have believed you when you said that you didn't mean to hurt Rainbow Dash! Well, i'm not giving you another chance to hurt my friends! I'm gonna throw you so far into the Everfree, you'll never be found!" I shrugged and looked away idly. "Whatever." "Then i'm going to feed your dog to the timber wolves!" That got me. My gaze snapped back to Twilight at breakneck speed. My eyes were trained on the thing that just threatened my dog. I turned my body to face her I strained to get out of her hold so I could destroy her. I could see her straining. I pushed harder. And harder still. Then I dropped. I got up and rushed her. She tried running. Pointless. I caught up with her, grabbed her by the throat, and started squeezing. She let out a gurgle. I felt the life force leaving her body. Then, with her last effort, she let out a blast of energy. It hit me and blew me across the room. I smacked into the wall hard, and knocked all the books off of it. My last thought before sliding into Unconciousness? 'Have to kill it.' _______________________________________________-_-_-_________________________________________________ Slender couldn't believe it. He was being attacked by his counter part! Slender also couldn't believe how much trouble he was having defending himself against the assaulting tentacles that sliced through trees with ease. Then he managed to subdue them all with his own. He yanked forward, and his counter part, A faceless equine wearing a suit and red tie was brought forward from the shadows it hid in. Slender started mind speaking to it. 'why have you attacked me?' 'you are evil and should be destoyed.' It responded. 'what?! we are the same!' 'no. you kill for sport as well as nourishment. i kill to feed my self, and only creatures that pose a threat to the inhabitants of this dimension. i will not allow you to hurt anypony.' 'i only wish for your help to kill the human that has traveled here. then i shall leave.' 'no! if it has traveled here, then it is now under my protection! i will defeat you.' 'fine! if that is how you want it, that is how it shall be! i am going to kill you, the human, and all of your ponies!' Slender Man threw the Slender Mane to the ground. His tentacles sharpened into blades. Slender Man thrust down wards and pierced... Nothing? Slender Pony must've shadow traveled away. Slender Man went on a rage, cutting down trees and a couple manticores down in the process. *** Slender Mane appeared in front of the castle of the royal princess'. He had to warn them of the danger Slender Man had promised upon the ponies and human. He walked up to the gates and was met by a squad of royal guards. "Identify yourself, creature!" yelled one of them. He mind-spoke to them all at once. 'calm yourselves, ponies. i only wish to speak to Celestia and Luna. i promise that i have no ill intentions.' The guard ponies were suprised by the voice that slithered through their heads. They all lowered their guard, albeit slowly. The one who seemed to be the leader walked up to him. "You promise that you will not try to attack the princess'?" 'yes.' "All right, follow me. Princess Celestia is asleep right now, but Princess luna has just gotten out of Night court. I'll take you to her." 'thank you guard.' "Don't worry about it." ___________________________________________-_-_-______________________________________________________ I woke up. My head was throbbing and my back felt like I fell off the empire state building. I was laying on the couch in Twilights house/library. I sat up and found myself facing Twilight, her freinds, and the lizard, Spike. Before I could say any thing, Twilight spoke. "Sorry I threatened you and your dog. It's just, when i saw you holding Spike, I thought you were going to hurt him." "Well I wasn't going to." "I know Spike told me what happened. And spike told me that he and Colmillo were just assessing each other as a threat." Then Spike said "Yeah, Colmillo would beat me in a fight." I looked at him. "First off: what are you, and you can understand Colmillo?" "Yeah," he said rubbing the back of his head " I can talk to dogs. And for your other question, i'm a dragon. Just a baby though." I looked at him. Of course there are dragons here, why wouldn't there be? Then Twilight spoke. "Right now, we have something else to talk about. Princess Celestia sent me a letter. It said that I needed to bring you to the castle to talk about the saftey of Equestria. She also told me to tell you: Slender followed you." I looked at her. Then I responded "WHAT!?!?!?"
