//------------------------------// // Savior // Story: Extraction // by Meh121 //------------------------------// "It's honor to be working with team one and two." Riley said holding his wound. "Kid it's nothing special we all do the same job, now hold still this might sting." Tyler said pouring alcohol into Riley's wound. He cringed and breathed, as he watched dirt and other things come out of the wound. "So you're saying you can rescue Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked Midnight with hope in her voice and eyes. "With the help of these humans yes, but follow me." Midnight said. Twilight looked confused but followed. "I'm not the biggest fan of working with these two legs, I say we use them to rescue the others, then we get rid of them." Midnight whispered into Twilight's ear. "What no way they are helping us, you even saved Riley's life." Twilight exclaimed shocked. "He was a necessary asset a piece to a bigger picture." Midnight told her. He kicked the dirt with his hoof and put a hoof on Twilight's shoulder. He felt a rush emotions rush through him. He took his hoof off of Twilight's soft cost very slowly enjoying her warmth, he took in every moment of it. "What was that for?" Twilight asked with a disgusted look. "First you want to use these humans, then all of a sudden you're touching me like you're my coltfriend." Twilight told the colt in front of her quietly, to which Midnight was greatful for. He just moved back to the group slowly, completely ignoring Twilight. "Typical colt." Twilight sighed annoyed as she moved back to the group. "I have a feeling it seems that the Midnight pony is not to be trusted, he is just going to use us." Kayla said her eyes glancing at Midnight, showing mistrust. "Why would he say that he helped me, why would he use us?" Riley asked confused. "You sure are soft." Mark chuckled? "Leave the kid alone, he is a fng anyway." Tyler said looking up at the stars. "Wow never knew you had a soft side." Kayla said surprised. "There is a lot you don't know about me..." Tyler replied annoyed. "Although I do know one thing." Kayla giggled. She laughed harder watching Tyler's face turn a few shades of red. "Don't bring it up." Tyler said as he sat up and had a slight blush now instead of his deep red one, before he packed up his gear and handed a weapon to Riley. "What are they talking about?" Riley asked, taking the weapon moving over to Mark. "Let's just say teams two's leader over there has a bit of a crush on team our leader, but hey I can't blame him she is a pretty attractive girl." Mark said. Kayla looked at Mark and rolled her eyes. "Hold still for a second." Tyler said spraying Riley with something in his wound this time, before he wrapped him up. Twilight cringed seeing Riley cringe, it pained her to see him like this because of her. A tear hit the ground. "Tha-thank...you." She whispered as another tear hit the ground. "What was that?" Riley asked looking at Twilight, with a puzzled look. "I said thank you." Twilight repeated as a few more tears hit the ground. "It's really nothing Twilight I'm doing my job literly." Riley looked at Twilight trying to reassure her. "Your mission was to rescue me, now instead you're risking your life with the others because of me." Twilight sighed, her deep purple eyes welling up with more tears. They stained her soft Lavender coat. Riley wiped away her tears and hugged her. "Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on in their darkest hour. It may not make sense now but give it time." Riley whispered as he slowly stood up. He saw and heard Twilight calm down a bit. "I might have a soft side but I'm not that soft, so then Midnight where is your base camp?" Tyler asked the last part so everybody could hear it.He was glad no one saw him wipe away a tear after what happened. "It's closer then you think." Midnight said with a smirk on his face, pointing his hoof into the woods. "Let's go now." Tyler said with a strange look towards the town. Riley stood up and started walking ahead of the group with Twilight. "So what happened to you?" Twilight asked looking at Riley. "I was captured by Trixie and well she thought she could make me break, but she would literally have to pour acid down my throat to get me to say anything." Riley chuckled trying to make a joke, which Twilight did not take to lightly because she actually gave Riley a punch in the arm. "Sorry I guess that wasn't funny." Riley apologized. "No it wasn't." Twilight coldly stated. The others laughed except for Midnight.
