I wasn't able to feel my legs especially my right one.
I started to come to my senses when I heard a pony open an old creaky door as I opened my eyes slowly I noticed that I wasn't in a hut filled with jars and a cauldron in the middle of it,
it was an old small house that had dust everywhere and old unused items scared along the walls.
A large red stallion came threw the creaky door and I realized I was discovered by a pony, something I wished never happen for I was afraid that the ponies would all be afraid of me but he showed no fear, anger, well actually not an emotion at all.
I tried to get up but I felt a terrible pain on my side on my side I looked to my side and I saw a bandage wrapped around my wing and chest.
I sighed, so I just starred at him for a while when I remembered that he was the one fighting all those timber wolves, that's when I noticed a bandage around his chest too...
I just looked down feeling his stare, I felt bad so I looked back up to him and said
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble and an injury"
He didn't say anything and just nodded slowly showing that he appreciated the apology.
We starred at each other for awhile, it was silent as the night but it got interrupted when I heard a mare call from outside
"Hey Big Mac where in tar nation are ya?"
Big Mac hearing her call went outside trying not to make the door creak so much as it did when he came in.
"Oh there ya are Big Mac I've been looking everywhere for ya."
the voice came closer to the door
"what were you doin' in that old shack?" she asked
I was very curious about who this mare was but all I could do was listen to there conversation even though she did most of the talking.
"Well never mind dat' let's go to that hill over there and enjoy the scenery plus I've got somin' to say ta' ya' "
both of them started to trot to that hill which made them go in front of the small window beside my bed and there I saw the mysterious mare. She was an orange earth pony, with blonde hair, she had 3 apples as a cutie mark and a brown cow girl hat. they kept on trotting a long a small path when she stopped in front of an apple tree
"Hey Big Mac ya think you can still apple buck?"
He went to the tree beside the mare and kicked it with one hoof, only a few a apple's fell out and he twitched a little bit
"Nope"
he said as he picked up an apple and walked back to the shack I was in. He entered the shack not caring about the creaky door, he starred at me a little bit then I heard the mare following him so I hid under the dusty covers of the bed.
"Aw Big Mac did you rescue a critter' from the timber wolves attack?"
I could see through the covers that she peeked threw the door
"Hehehe always helpin' something, wonder which critter' you rescued this time?"
Big Mac grabbed one of the bowls lying around on the floor, he blew the dust of and then cleaned it with an old rag that was lying around. He placed the apple in the bowl and crushed it with his hoof, then left it there.
The mare came in the shack and placed the bowl in front of the bed smiling, that's when I felt something tingle in my horn it sort of felt like the feeling I felt with Zecora when we were grabbing the colorful flower.
Soon both of them left, I stayed under the covers until I couldn't hear their hoof steps. I came out and starred at the bowl beside the bed, it looked really appetizing so I lifted the bowl with my magic and placed it in front of my hooves, soon I was devouring the crushed apple.
A few hours passed until the stallion came back with some water and I was worried that he would maybe tell the mare so
I lifted y head from the pillow and looked at him as he placed the water in front of me,
"Um your name is Big Mac right?"
"Eeyup" he responded
"I was wondering if maybe you could keep me a secret cause I don't want any other pony knowing about me..."
It took him a while to respond so my guess was that he was deciding whether or not to keep me a secret so I hoped he did.
It felt like forever until he finally said
"Eeyup" and left.
I was thinking about him after he left and I was starting to wonder why he wasn't afraid of me when he saw me,
Could he have seen another changeling before? Maybe he's just used to seeing monsters from the Everfree forest,
then again I do sort of look like a pony since I'm half but either way I'm a hybrid and I look like a monster.
I left it at that and fell asleep.

I woke up hearing ponies talk
"Hey Pinkie Pie don't you ever wonder whats in that old shack?"
"Nope. Why?"
"I don't know I just feel like there's something in their, like I know were supposed to be helping Applejack but something is bothering me about it and I don't like it"
"Well why don't you just ask Applejack if you can go in there?"
"I guess so..."
The conversation was starting to get me worried What if Applejack let's them come in? Will I be able to escape?
My wing wasn't completely healed so I couldn't fly back to Zecora's hut, but maybe I could get away at night, my leg was basically healed I just had a scab on it.
So I waited till night time to get away but then I noticed 2 ponies coming toward the shack, it was a blue mare with a rainbow mane and a pink mare with a curly pink mane. The rainbow maned mare reminded me of the teen that wanted to race me when I was a small filly.
"Ooooh this is so exciting!" said the pink mare as she bounced beside the blue mare
"Ya I'm so glad Applejack let us go in the shack it'll be even better since it's at night"
I had no idea what to do they'll defiantly see my glowing eyes if I hide under the bed, unless I close them...
Suddenly I heard another set of hooves running towards here it was coming from the opposite direction that the 2 mares were coming from.
And then they got here they were right at the door ready to open them
"Bet ya the door is gonna have a creak!"
"Oh look it's Big Mac!"
"Huh? What's he doing here?"
The other set of hooves was Big Mac's? Is he going to stop them from coming in? I looked around the room looking for another exit, my only choice was the breaking the window But wouldn't they see me? I don't exactly have have black fur but I do have dark purple fur! I could still camouflage maybe they'll see me but they won't be able to catch me I think
It was the perfect plan, I was getting ready to break the window when I heard Big Mac talk
"No pony is goin' in the shack"
"Why not? Applejack said you wouldn't mind since you let her in!"
he didn't respond.
This was my chance to escape I broke the window, jumped out and started to run
"So their was something in their!"
I looked back and I saw the rainbow maned mare start flying towards me, the Forest was 5 meters away and she was coming fast.
"It's getting away!"
I tried to run faster but my injured hoof didn't let me so I tried propelling my self with my good wing
Almost their... Almost their... I was so close but the mare was right behind just a meter away from catching me.
Finally I made it into the forest.
"It got away..." said the mare
I started to slow down so I could rest my leg, I started to walk see if I can find the way to Zecora's hut but I couldn't recognize anything and I couldn't fly up to look for her hut's chimney.
I was lost completely lost could their really be away back to Zecora's hut?
