//------------------------------// // where i am // Story: Arctic runner- vol 1 catching shadows // by adaptroug //------------------------------// I don't know how long i was out, but apparently long enough for someone to drag me and my arctic away from where we crashed. "Do you think it is safe angle" i herd a timid wispier barely audible as i came to with my eyes shut and still so not to scare anyone or thing. But I still needed to find out where I was. So I faked coming to slowly. "Did anyone catch the license plate on that car that hit my blind side?" I said in a groggy tone as not to scare anything. Slowly opening my eyes I saw a rabbit on my chest. please don't tell me rabbits are the sentient species here I thought. Cautiously reaching out i nudged the rabbit away and herd a barley audible "Eeep" as the rabbit hoped away allowing me to sit up and look around. The first thing a saw was another Pegasus. I face-palmed. It's official I'm crazy first a unicorn then a Pegasus. What is next I thought. "A-are you alright" the same voice said. I hadn't relalized it at the time but i broke a few ribs when the other Pegasus ran into me, the adrenaline must have made me forget the pain until now. I also realized my shirt was replaced with bandages. "A few broke ribs but I'll manage" I said "I noticed" the voice said in a slightly louder tone still below a wispier. I then realized we did not know each others names I realized. "If you don't mind me to ask and ancer some questions, I am Dylan, my friends call me D ,so what is your name? " I-I'm fluttershy" she said in an inaudible whisper. " I didn't quite catch that, one more time please" "Fluttershy" she said in the same tone. "Ah, I thought so, so you name 'is' fluttershy." "Yes" "One more thing, Where is my arctic cat!" I said knowing it is the only thing that is truly mine. "Arctic cat?" She said puzzled. Her ear's suddenly perked up. "Oh no it's dying" This caught me off guard 'What is dying" I then herd a fimalar sputter. Fluttershy ran into the other room where my arctic cat stood. Wtih tear's in her eyes she said "Please don't go." "So that's where it went." "So this was your pet" Still crying even more. "I'm sorry for your loss." "Loss? What loss?" i said just realizing they did not have fosle fuels "Wait a Minuit let the engine cool off and it will be good to go another day it just overheated ,and it is not a pet it is a machine." "what?" she stoped crying and just stared into my eyes. I could swear she was trying to break my will one way or another. "Don't ever call any animal a 'machine' it is a rude and selmurf..." She started ranting before i put my hand over her muzzle. The shadow appeared once again and said "Good to see I am rubbing off on you" like i said i am nothing like you except for the fact that we both agree her ranting got annoying fast as the shadow diapered he said "Sure we are" "Okey to start off, One calm down. Two if you don't believe me I can prove you wrong" My stomach has excellent timing because it growled louder than i have ever herd it growl before, I released her muzzle and continued " Next I want to apologize for grabbing your muzzle ,and ask you do you have anything to eat?" That caught Fluttershy off guard when he stood up he was at least 6 foot tall. And the way he stopped her. Violent ,yet careful not to harm her. "Okey I'll trust you for now," she said more scared than ever of the creature. "And what exactly are you" "Human ,why?" "Just curious" she said and then proceed to get a bag of coins "What do humans eat" "Just about anything that isn't intelligent or try's to eat us first" "would you like some apples" She said "Sure but two more questions ,Where am I and can I come with you" "Poneyviil, Equestria and if you want" "Great," I went over and held the door open "lead the way"
