Fearless

Chapter two: Who Am I?

Fluttershy awoke, well not so peacefully. Her head pounded. The room blurred and spun. 'Where am I?' She thought. An unfamiliar room came to a clear view of pure white walls. The last thing she remembered was talking to Rainbow Dash about her 'family'. Futtershy noticed around her was a hospital bed. And obviously she noticed she was in one too. There was no pony at all in the same room. Fluttershy frowned. She got out of the hospital bed and walked around.
She stopped by a full sized mirror. She looked at herself, a cheap, shoddy, probably Walmart made hospital gown covered her, but was a bit to big on her. You could see... down the front. She noticed a blood stained bandage was wrapped around her forhead Fluttershy straightened her self up and sat down on the ground. A tiny scar on her back leg appeared one she had never noticed before. A memory tried to make its way though, but stayed blocked. That scared Fluttershy. She backed away still on the floor.
"Is she alright?" Or what she assumed said a muffled voice. Fluttershy looked over to where the sound came from. She went out through the door and followed the sound. She came to a corner not far from her starting place. The corner entered into a waiting room. Twilight her newly Alicorn-born friend asked a doctor. She looked around to see an uncheerful, worried Pinkie Pie, a scared and also worried Rainbow Dash, a compassionate Applejack rubbing Dash's back, while secretly trying not to cry, Spike was crying, Rarity had her head down and kept walking in circles. Although it was a blue sight, Fluttershy smiled. It made her see that her friends really cared for her. The unhappy doctor shrugged.
"She has been in there for five days and you can't tell us if Fluttershy is doing okay?!" Rainbow Dash shouted. Fluttershy leaned in closer. The doctor shook his head and shrugged again. Dash looked like she was going to attack the stallion. Twilight stuck her hoof out to her so she didn't do something she might regret. The doctor glared.
"Look your friend is right there, she's fine now please leave!" he pointed to Fluttershy who had come closer, blew her cover. She guilty smiled. They all ran over to hug her.
"Thank Clestia you're okay!" Twilight happily told her. "When we got Rainbow Dash's message, we immediately came here. To see if your okay."
"What in hay' happened to you?" Applejack's thick farmers accent asked.
"I don't know I was just talking to Rainbow Dash about Family day and I had this weird flashback and saw some even weirder images."
"Are you sure, you're okay? I mean that just sounds freaky." Pinkie asked. "The grumpy 'doctor' said when you awoke and felt better you could go home." Fluttershy nodded.
They all went back to Twilights place. Twilight announced, "We decided that you should stay at my house. Till you get better."
"What about Angel, and my animals?"
"Rarity and I will take care of your house, I normally hate cleaning, but for you of course and I learned my lesson with animals when we switched cutie marks."
"Pinkie and I will take care of the critters you have." Applejack explained. "And Spike brought Angel here for you." In Spike's arms was an anxious Angel who bounced down to hug Fluttershy. Fluttershy nuzzled him.
After they all left, Twilight laid out a bed for her, and they all slept. Well all, but Fluttershy, she decided to walk around. She found a picture of Twilight's family on it. Rainbow Dash's question, rang in her head. Where was her family? An even better question, Who was her family? She looked in the mirror and saw the same scared Pegasus, as herself. She looked at the same scar, the same latent scar she saw earlier. Fluttershy had never got hurt as bad as getting a scar like that. The scar was about an two centimeters wide and jagged in a shape a badly drawn lightening bolt. The same memory tried to break out, still failing, but this time more detailed.
"My past, what is my past?" The oldest thing she remembered was finding her way to flight school and meeting Rainbow Dash when she was only about eight years old, but what about before that.
All her friends past came on the same path as their cutie marks Twilight being a student to follow magic, Rarity to become a fashion designer, Rainbow Dash to become a future famous flyer, Applejack to become farmer and cook, and Pinkie pie to become a smile maker. Sure fluttershy got a vet as a hobby, but something felt missing. Being a vet didn't feel like who she was at all. Like she had a flair she didn't know about. She shook her head at the thought and walked upstairs to attempt to sleep.

"Fluttershy, look out!" CRASH! Panic shot through Futtershy. Her head hit a patch damp, dead grass hard enough to give her a concussion. Part of whatever caused the crash caught on to her leg and punctured into her. She let out a terrifying whimper. The sky was so dark the moon couldn't shine through. The area gave her a worried feeling. An evil laugh came about. She looked over to see the same young colt lay lifeless where she was seconds ago. "NOOOO!"
Fluttershy awoke in Twilight's bedroom. Twilight and Spike were surrounding her. Angel put a paw on her in worry. "Is everything okay?"
She nodded and answered. "Just a strange dream." And how strange it was. Twilight looked scared and hugged her in consideration. A loud, eerie moan interrupted them. Twilight left to her balcony-like window, to see what was going on. Her mouth dropped. She slowly backed away. Fluttershy looked out the window to see a scary, repugnant sight.
