//------------------------------// // their world // Story: the world beyond // by steeperswine //------------------------------// Its been hours since I got into the forest, the darkness shivers my bones, it was cold, lost, and lonely. I wanted to go back but I know that they will be waiting for me, so I have to keep moving. I check my iPhone to see where I am. When I get it out of my pocket it said no signal. "Damn" I thought in complete stress I started to panic "MUM...PLEASE I WANNA GO HOME" I heard no answer. This nightmare is only the beginning I start to run as fast as I could panic went over me until I reached the end of the forest and met a house. I calmed down and focused on the house. the house was made from a tree and surrounded by tons of bird stands and chicken coops. I run up to the door and knock. I waited and waited but no one answered. then I started to become more stressed "PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER ME! I"M LOST AND SCARED PLEASE HELP ME! I waited for an answer, a sound or voice. I sat at the door feeling hungry then I thought "hey would it be OK if I sneaked in and find something to eat?" I thought about it for a minute and came to a conclusion that I was way too hungry to make a choose, but I gave up to my body and thought about how to get in the house for some food I found two sticks and started to pick lock the door. I sneaked inside. Inside, there was a massive room full of bird stands and mouse holes and a couch in the middle and a fire place. "Man this guy really likes his animal buddies, must be alone and he should put some rat or mouse poison in here!" As I enter the kitchen I open the fridge and see a daisy and tons for food bags . "who keeps a daisy in here!" as I looked at the bags of food I came to a conclusion that this guy must be vegetarian and likes feeding his animal friends. "I should be a detective" I thought with little mind. As I was reaching for a carrot I heard the front door open. "CRAP" I thought and dived behind a couch. As I peer over the couch a women dressed in full yellow and a pink hat. she went in and closed the door. "Oh my that was a really good dinner I should feed my friends and go to bed, i'm really tired" said the girl. As she went to the fridge to get some food I noticed that she was walking on four legs. Four legs I thought then that means I have came to the conclusion of what she is. "crazy cat lady" I thought as I identified the girl "definitely a crazy cat lady with out the cat part" . As I sneaked past by going through the other side of the couch one of the birds woke up and saw me and started to crow. "shut up!" I whispered and the woman said "oh my Jackson your up late what is it?" The bird started crowing and the woman said in a panic voice "their is a intruder here?" "Shit" I said out loud and the woman said "who's there?" After I heard her last words I started to sprint at the door I can hear her telling me to come back but I know that's just a death wish. As I ran to the door I slipped on a rug and banged my head on the floor and became unconscious. As I woke up I was siting on a couch still in the crazy cat lady's house with a bandage on my head and a bandage on my hand, I look around to see if there was a way out. When I looked up I saw the crazy cat lady cooking something I turned and grabbed a knife from the table next to me and just as she turned around I hid the knife in my pocket. as she walked up to me my concussion began to fade. As she got closer I began to notice her. When she was in front of me I saw that she was no human but a pony. I suddenly screamed in the top of my voice and tried to get up, but i was knocked down again by my concussion. She screamed and hide behind a bowl of soup. "who are you!" I said "I could ask you the same thing! Also did you just talk?" "yes I just-talked" I said still shocked by what just happened. "Also who are you and where am I?" She stopped hiding behind the bowl and said in a stuttering voice "well-well you are in Po-Ponyville." "and where is this Ponyville" I said in a stern voice. "in Equestria why?" I didn't speak and tried to think, should I stab her then run away? Or should I just wake up now from my horrible nightmare? But if this is a nightmare then why is this so real? "And what are you?" she said trying to sound brave. "I am Leonardo but you can just call me Leo for short and also I'm a dominant species called human. Why, am I the first person to arrive in this place?" "Well I never seen any animal like you and-" "hang on" I interrupted "did you just call me an animal!" "Yes I did because YOU are not a pony!" Then I said "but I just talked so basically, I am not a animal, unlike you!" "Now now Leo no need to raise your-" "Wait" I interrupted "are those wings?" I said in surprise as I pointed at her hip. She looked down and and said "why yes they are." "So your a Pegasus?" "Yes I am" "So you are a animal!" She glared at me and said "i'm going to take you to one of my friends so she can say if you are...OK or not, well if you want to." I sighed and said "OK fine, but what would this prove?" She looked in my eyes and said "to prove that you are not dangerous." I look at her and said pointing at the bowl "Is that for me?" She looked down at the soup and said "why yes it's called carrot soup I saw you holding that carrot while on the run! Also that was very rude of you to do such a thing you could of asked me for some food!" I looked at her in a deadpan way and was about to speak. But instead I thought of a better way to make her feel like saying "yes I pardon you for what you have done" or something. I look at her and tried to give my best puppy dog face and said "I'm sowy can you ever forgive me!" She looked at me and said "of cause I can what friend would I be If I wasn't?" I stared at her in a funny way and said "you consider me as a friend?" "Yes" she said as she nodded. "Ok" I said and whispered "base one!" "Sorry what was that?" she asks. "Nothing!" I respond "Strange" she said "I thought I left my knife here next to the fork?" "Don't worry" I said with a sneaky voice "I brought my own." I sat down and started to eat my soup. As I ate my soup I thought "wish their was meat in it!"
