Chapter II: Rude Awakening
-5 hours ago-
Fluttershy’s Perspective
*beep* *beep* *beep*
“Wha-what happened?? Where am I?”
These are the only two questions I can think of as I slowly awaken from my stupor. The last thing I remember is being lifted up after being attacked. I notice my left foreleg appears to be hooked up to some kind of… device, with green wavy lines displayed on it, along with a bunch of numbers. I sit up and try to get a look at my surroundings. In the corner is a… well, I’m not sure what it is, resting. I try to get a better look at it, when suddenly its previously hidden wings stretched. This may sound ridiculous but they remind me of Philomeana’s wings, but much larger, and darker colored. I involuntarily squeak, and hide underneath the covers, wondering what it wants with me. I hear the creature say, “Calm yourself, dear Fluttershy, I am in no way, shape, or form going to harm you.” 
“How does it know who I am?”
“If you don’t wish to talk right now, I will wait, I have nearly unlimited patience. You are probably wondering who and what I am. If you must know, I am a Phoenix,however I am also a human, but only just. As for my name… well I guess it wouldn’t hurt for you to know, my name is Shadowrunner, I have the rather unfortunate task of guiding people to the Trail.”
I sit quietly for a few minutes, attempting to gather my courage before asking,”Wel-well what do you want with me?”
“The only thing I wish to know is why are you here?This is no place for anypony, especially for somepony like you.”
“Where am I? I…I don’t remember coming here. All I know is I was walking and then.. *whimper* I  just ended up here.”
“Well, you are in the Wayward Horizon…As for how you got here, I am not sure. I know you are scared of me, but you don’t need to be, for I mean no harm.
“Eeep! I-I really want to go home, I don’t want to stay here..!
“You really did give me a start, Fluttershy, I was not expecting anyone to come through the gates, I still need to rest.”
“C-could you stay in here, I-I really don’t  feel safe here..”
“Of course I can,but  I am tired, so I must ask if you mind if I may rest with you.” 
“That’s okay, I-I just feel safer with somepony around.”
“Ok."
He walked over to the bed,getting under the covers and spread his wings. I gently touch one, and feel a great warmth spread through me……

A/N This was a tad bit of a pain to write… X(  Do tell if it is a tad cheesy, I am working actively on it.I am not great with dialogue, and this was my first time doing a multiple perspective. R&R please :) Updates will be coming intermittently, as I am by far not perfect on deadlining.
