Chapter 2

Rose’s and Mint

I then started heading back to the hill I rolled down and broke my wing on. On the way I was thinking about all that had happened in this short amount of time. “Why was I helping this thing that had tried to hurt me,” I asked myself. “But then I realized that it hadn’t been trying to hurt me but had been trying to warn me of something, but of what,” I had wondered to myself. I walked up the hill and back onto the path I had been on earlier and all of a sudden I heard a loud moan resound from my back, “ hang in there we’ll be there soon.”  I then continued on the path until I got to the edge of the town and then slipped my way through the town like a bada$$ ninja pony. “Even though it was pi… (”hey stop that, it tickle’s.”  Yeah so.  “So I’m trying to tell our story.” “Yeah fine, but your mine tomorrow night.”) Yeah as I was saying, even though it was pitch black outside, it was probably so easy because I knew this town like the back of my front hoof.
When I made it to my house I saw the legendary moon-lace flower glowing silver in my window sills. I walked up to a rock and flipped it and grabbed the key. I tripped on my way up the steps… (Bwahahahahhahahahahahaha, shut up and go get ready you big jerk you shouldn't see my dress yet anyways. Fine fine I'm going) as I was saying, I tripped on my way up the steps but got back up and unlocked the front door. As soon as I walked in the door I heard twelve loud dongs from my grandfather clock. That was a bit weird it was only seven twenty-three when I left my old work space. I then walked into the house and I was about to set the thing down on my red silk cushioned couch when it was covered from snout to hoof with mud. (Don't know what I was thinking)

So I took it to the bathroom and set it down on the floor while I went and grabbed a chair that I could put it in the shower and bathe the thing. I came back into the bathroom and set to work. I first took off its clothes and then set it down in the shower, and it was that moment that I realized that I did not know its gender. ( This is so weird ) I lifted its hind leg and found out that it was a male. Oh wow that makes this even more weird I’m now bathing a male who I don't even know. Fighting how weird this felt to be doing this, I turned on the water and started rubbing soap into his coat, and then used my mane wash and started rubbing it where shockingly there was now somewhat of a mane.  After I finished washing and drying him off I took him to my couch and set him down and started analyzing his wounds and found three fractured ribs, his left back hind leg was broken, and all of his tentacle thingies but one were broken in multiple places. (Oh and if you were wondering the way I can tell this stuff is because for some time I worked as a nurse.)

So I went and grabbed my first aid kit from the bottom of the kitchen sink. I then started to patch up his cuts (that were still bleeding) and then put casts on all his breaks and fractures. I stared at my broken wing which was bent in such a funny angle. I grabbed it and snapped it back into place I screamed out in pain and agony, I started to rap it up in a cast and splinter through all the pain after finishing I looked for other things, and then found that there was a long slash mark across my back left flank. (Oh great now other ponies are going to start asking how that happened and stuff.) Well I bandaged that up and then walked into my bedroom and was about to fall flat on my bed and realized that I need to give him a blanket to keep it warm so I went and grabbed a blanket. When I walked into the room I found that he now had a mouth. (I mean how is this happening?) Well then I put a blanket on him and started to tuck him in, and started silently giggling to myself because he smelled like my shampoo and coat wash, like rose’s and mint, funny. The stuff seemed to work though cause I could now see him quite clearly now. He had a white coat like freshly fallen snow, black and dark grey mane like the night sky, and for a cutie mark he had a ragged red circle with a scrabbled x mark through it's center. (I wonder what that means?) 

I went back to my bedroom and collapsed on the bed without even getting under the covers cause I was so tired from the recent ordeals, and as soon as I hit the bed, I was dead asleep, like a rock. I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock at five thirty in the morning and started hitting it to turn it off and when that failed I just unplugged it and threw it to the corner of my room. Slowly I got up and started getting ready for work but then remembered that I was fired yesterday. So I just went back to sleep until about seven twenty-five or so and started cooking breakfast for myself and I sat and ate it by myself like my normal morning and then I made some more food for the creature. When I was done I put it on a tray and carried it into the living room and stumbled to keep from dropping it when I saw he had eye’s and everything (I mean how the b@#$ does that happen) I gathered myself up and straightened up the stuff on the tray and walked up to him and poked his face to make sure I wasn't hallucinating, after finding it true I sat down with him and got started feeding him. I fed him by chewing up the food and then feeding it to him. (because he didn't have teeth yet (awww sick. Get out Slendy, now!)
