The Element of Chaos

New Pains and New Friends

Disclaimer: I own only my OC and a few ideas, nothing more, mostly it's owned by Hasbro and Lauren Faust.

Pain was the first thing he felt as he slowly came back to the waking world, of course he half expected this from the feeling of being bitten on his face, his new hand, and getting his head smacked by a door. He reached up to his head rubbing it, he hissed as he ran over a large bump between his two horns.
He rubbed his head looking around finally opening his eyes seeing he was inside a small house; at least he would have thought it was small from the low roof. He looked around and saw he was laying on a small couch, his legs were hanging off the other end while he had his head on a nice white pillow.
He slowly started to move swinging his legs careful not to bump anything onto the floor or break anything with his long legs. He blinked when he saw a small mouse near the wall in a mini wheelchair rolling around and back into a mouse hole when he heard something coming from the other room. If he didn't know better it sounded like a tea kettle, though right now it felt like nails on a chalk board as a head ache made itself known.
"Ow!" He said holding his head in his hands. He covered his horse like ears as well as he could before it stopped after hearing some footsteps in the other room.
He uncovered his ears and looked toward the room when he saw something that made him narrow his new eyes, a small white rabbit holding a carrot in his mouth like a cigar. It glared right back at him thumping it's foot against the floor.
"N-now Angel," Said a soft voice from the room as a small canary yellow pony with a pink mane and two small wings walked into the room. "That's no way to treat anypony..." The pony had a small tray with a teapot and a pair of small white teacups.
He blinked looking at her and said "Hello..." He wasn't sure what else to say to the small pony and the rabbit. "I'm sorry, but...can you tell me where I am, and who you are?"
The yellow pony walked over to the small wooden coffee table setting the tray on it carefully while the rabbit followed her helping her balance it before she said in a shy voice "Y-you're in my house, I brought you in last night after Angel attacked you and I um...hit you in the head with my door." She looked away and poured a cup of tea for the both of them shaking a little.
He reached up lightly rubbing his head feeling the bump and saying "It's fine, don't worry about it." He could tell that wouldn't help from the pony's eyes not leaving her teacup.
"N-no, I'm really sorry. Please, accept my apology, if that's okay." She said pushing the teacup closer to him with a hoof.
"Its fine, Apology not need," He said picking up the glass not used to holding things with his new hands and nearly spilling it onto himself, "I should be saying sorry to you waking you up in the middle of the night." He took a sip of the tea and forced a smile; to him it tasted like medicine.
The mare still looked unsure and in a very quiet voice said "I-I'm Fluttershy...nice to meet you. It's fine, I was up about to go feed the owls." She was looking away drinking the tea as Jake drank another sip of his own. He looked at the rabbit that was standing next to Fluttershy nibbling on the end of its carrot still watching Jake carefully.
"I'm Jake, thanks for letting me sleep on your couch for the night, after well...never mind." He said taking another sip shutting up as to not make the timid mare feel bad after she pulled him inside letting him sleep on his couch.
"N-nice to meet you," She said smiling a little and Angel thumped the floor looking at Fluttershy, "Oh, this is Angel. He's the one who...um jumped onto your face..."
He looked at the rabbit giving a kind smile while it glared daggers at him and said "Well, he must have just thought I was a robber or something...no harm done." He gave his face a scratch feeling something on it and realized it was some kind of bandage.
She gave a kind smile. Putting a sugar cube into her tea and took another sip looking away before saying "I'm sorry for not opening the door when you first knocked at first I thought you were someone I know...he's not supposed to be around here anymore and I hoped he hadn't gotten out yet..." She looked down and Jake saw a face of slight nervousness mixed with fear and what could have been shame.
"Well...I don't know anyone around here..." He said looking around the room before adding a quiet, "Or where here is."
"Y-you don't know where you are?" She asked making him look over surprised she could have heard him muttering to himself. "W-we're right outside of Everfree forest, a little ways away from Ponyville."
"I'm sorry, but I only woke up in this weird building in the forest. I just wandered around till I met this odd Purple sea serpent who was in a river who pointed me this way." He said blinking a little; he saw her look at him surprised before looking worried.
"I-I have to g-go and um...go get something from the store. S-stay here...if um...you don't mind that is." She said nearly running out the door making him just adjust the glasses on his face watching a small yellow blur run down the road and over some hills.
He set the teacup down dropping some sugar cubes into it and letting them melt, he looked at the rabbit who was glaring at him before he took another sip and set it back down getting up. The rabbit jumped up onto the table glaring at him waving the carrot at him.
"Calm down, I'm just looking for the case that was on my back when I came here." He said looking at the rabbit his eyes narrowing. He started to look around the decent sized living room before spying the case leaning against a wall. He smiled picking it up and taking it back over to the couch opening it carefully the rabbit now watching him.
He took the violin out of the case smiling looking it over as the rabbit watched him, He set it softly back into the case and closed the lid slowly sighing smiling before latching it and slipping it out of the way under the coffee table.
"Well since you can't talk," He said laying back on the couch glancing at the rabbit before closing his eyes, "I'll just take a little nap." He smiled hearing the rabbit huff and hop off of the table and thumped as he slowly fell asleep.
