The Human

by -Twilight


Meet the Neigh-bors

[9:00am][E.V.F time] (E.v.F = Everfree)
Well, Lyra Thought to herself.
It felt just over a week ago Lyra was taste testing Poisonous food and now, now she was plotting against the crown.
"Its for justice" Lyra kept saying to herself. Plotting against the princess... Just thinking about it made Lyra shutter
She couldn't back down now. She met a human, the only human, on this planet at least. Who even knows how it got in Equestria. But now, now she's teamed with it. It still was not clear how she really got into this mess, but, shes in for it now.
She was not sure how she was going to get revenge for this human but she may have an idea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[9:30][E.V.F time]
Other than the sounds of birds waking up to the bright sunlight, it was quiet. Lyra Looked outside the window of the tent to a another smaller tent, it was quiet there too. Lyra rolled out of the bed and onto three legs, remembering the injured one. she also remembered what "it" said. "it" the thing she found in the Everfree, the thing that has saved her life almost three times already. This "creature", no, this "human" the "myth" "the predator" saved her life. If these "humans" were such monsters how come it didn't just "eat" her?

Lyra remembered the night before, the manticore, the bloodshed, the human acted like it was nothing, it was nothing to him.
Lyra started to cry tears rolled off her snout.
"This "creature" clearly does not care for death, death of others too."
Lyra stopped for a minute.
"This "creature" does care for death.. that's why he saved me from it."
Lyra's tears stopped as she realized something.
"This human clearly does not like me, It could have just let me die out there, no, it saved me, healed my leg, and left me a place to stay."
"place to stay" Lyra repeated
"I have been in this forest for two days, bonbon must be worried sick." Lyra put her fourth hoof down, which miraculously healed overnight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[9:05am][E.V.F time]
Outside the tent a well- known human stood with a typical un-intrested look on its face.
Beside him was a table consisting of a typical breakfast; Hay bacon strips and apple juice, most likely for Lyra.
Lyra looked back up at the human trying to hide a blush, to her surprise it was blushing too.
The Food was Amazing, arguably the best breakfast she ever ate, yea she was eating in a forest but still.
After the food Lyra tried to hold a serious face when addressing the human
"you know last night when i said i could help you with revenge?" Lyra said, still chewing the last bite.
the human looked up at her and back away, it probably did remember.
"I think i can help you get to that goal...as much as i don't want to "fight the throne" this solution will not hurt Anypony."
Lyra got its attention.
X cocked his head curiosity on his face
"Like what?"
"Well First off I need to introduce you to some people."
X's eyes shrank, lips started to tremble
X hated ponies the last thing he wants is to confront any of them. Lyra could see the worry engraved on his face
"Its the only way that you can get your revenge is to get as much people on you side as possible." Lyra explained.

"Listen, Guards wont be on patrol because they are getting ready for the wedding and because nothing happens in ponyville" Lyra said in a whisper
"Not only that but there only five people i need to introduce you too, don't worry I'm not usually the smartest but this plan is
unbreakable."

"Why are you even helping me?" the human said bluntly

"I'm doing this for justice, what Celestia did was mass genocide, she thinks she could cover it up?, I'm trying to get the word out."

Lyra knew that was only part of the reason, she couldn't tell it the real reason, she just wanted to gain its trust in hope of getting some answers about humans.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[10:07AM][P.N.V time] [P.N.V = ponyville]

After Multiple tries at begging Lyra finally got X to agree to this dangerous plan.
"First off, i suppose, would be applejack, she kind, honest, understanding and would keep quiet if told too"
The human couldn't respond because of the piece of cloth tied across its head and through its mouth.

Sweet apple acres stood in the distance the sun behind it gave the giant red barn a dark black Silhouette.

Outside the barn, a orange earth pony stood, the orange coat glimmered in the sun giving anypony who witnessed it a heartwarming welcome.
Lyra commanded the human to hide behind the barn, the human obeyed and hopped over to the edge of the barn
(tied legs too)
The human poked its head from behind the barn observing what Lyra was doing.
Lyra approached applejack and tapped her, Applejack jumped.
"consarn'it Lyra don't ye know not to sneak up on ponies?" applejack said with a blush of Embarrassment.
"Hey applejack sorry for scaring you, hows the barn repair doing?"
"why she's buildin' faster than a squirrel on a acorn trail
Lyra never understood core country grammar and metaphors but she got the point.
"anyways its not like you to visit here sugercube, i thought you would be at Sugercube corner by now" Applejack said perfectly.
I actually wanted to show you something, something really important.
Lyra left applejack and indicated not to follow her, Lyra soon came back with something, something large, bigger then both of them.
Applejack has never seen anything like it, she didn't know what to say.

"Well.. what do you think? "Lyra Spoke to break the silence,
"I.. i don't know... what is it?" applejack said not taking her eyes of it.
"Its a human, applejack, they do exist" applejack's eyes shrunk at the word "Human"
applejack than looked at Lyra with a unsure smile.
"seriously, Lyra what is it?"
"Its a human" Lyra repeated.

The human looked up at applejack, then to Lyra, then back at applejack.
applejack than shouted
"GRANNY SMITH, BIG MAC!"
Big mac rushed to applejack in a split second, granny smith not so much.

"Big bro get "this" inside the barn before anypony see's"
big mac didn't question it, but only said "e-yup"
big mac than hauled the human over him and brought it into the barn.

"Lyra, if what you say is true then we might have a crisis on out hands" applejack said as seriously as possible
Lyra was amazed how perfectly applejack was talking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11:00am}{P.NV time]
After about twenty five minutes of explaining what happened in the everfree granny smith returned with five other ponies;
Rainbow dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and the most expected Twilight sparkle.
Lyra was tackled by the two pegasi, both talking over each other, both talking about how worried they were.
applejack was explaining what Lyra told her about the creature on the bed.
Twilight levitating several books about mythological creatures and creatures of the everfree trotted up next to it.
Twilight Looked the human up and down and up again. The human then started to speak everyone circled the bed
to listen.
"You don't seem surprised or scared to see me, am i not frighting to you?"
Twilight then stepped forward to reply
"Fluttershy seems scared of you, however, Lyra told us that you are not dangerous and well "won't bite".

The human's attempts to intimidate the six seems to be failing.

"Well, Lyra must also have told you that i don't like your "kind" very much"

Twilight replied again
"yes she also told us why, and we are deeply sorry, if only the princess-"

"You know the princess??"
The human got up from its laying position and onto two feet.
Its size Loomed over the ponies, fluttershy fainted.

All the ponies but Lyra protected their heads as if they were about to be attacked.
instead the human backed up away from the ponies and towards the barn entrance.

The human turned to Lyra and said
"Stay out of the Everfree, i saved your life once i cant promise that again"

Lyra Than ran after the soon leaving human and grabbed it by its black robe, tears running down her eyes
she pulled at the robe until the robe tore off him completely.

Lyra then used magic to grip its ankle, magic wrapped the leg.
Her magic wasn't strong enough to cover him completely.
To her right rarity used her magic combined with Lyra, extended the grip.

"Rarity, why are you helping me, I barely know you."
Rarity smiled then said
"True love can't be ignored'
Lyra was shocked to hear that but knew now was not the time to argue, their magic was not strong enough,
To the left stood a lavender unicorn. her magic was strong enough to cover the humans entire torso.
Before Lyra could ask twilight answered her question.

"For science!" twilight said with a truly adorkable expression on her face.

and with that the human flew backwards into a pile of hay that barely softened the blow.

The human blacked out..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6:00pm][P.N.V.time]
After several hours The human gained Consciousness again to find himself beside the still unconscious, yellow Pegasus
The human looked around he was in a empty room (besides Fluttershy)
He heard sounds coming from the floor.
The human attempted to step forward only to make a loud creak.
These floors were meant for sixty to seventy pound ponies to walk across not one-hundred forty pound humans.

It took ten minutes for x to get to the staircase to listen in on their conversation, x poked his head through one of the rails
to observe.
The six ponies were conversing around a pony sized table eating cake.
It wasn't clear what the ponies were talking about but it seemed like Lyra was doing most of the talking.
The pink earth pony bit into the cake and then yelled
"THE CAKE IS A LI-" pinkie discontinued her outburst and looked towards the staircase.
X made sure he couldn't be seen so he backed up.

"Ear flop, mane itch, tail curl..." pinkie said,,
"were being watched..."
All the ponies looked up to the staircase now, trying to trace where pinkie was indicating too.

"How did she do that??" X whispered.

Just then X got poked on the shoulder by a yellow hoof, he turned slowly to see fluttershy right behind him he got startled
and fell backwards down the stairs. "Oh.. did i startle you.. I'm sorry".. by now everypony was aware of his presence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[9:00pm][P.N.V.time]
Finally the sun was setting on this day the six ponies left so that only Lyra and x remained.
"Ish wash sosh nic of apphle'ejack to lesh us staysh here the night" Lyra mumbled with cake in her mouth
"X didn't reply for a moment but then said:
"Are you friends usually so "abnormal"

"coming from The Mysterious Creature from the forest" Lyra said jokingly.
X didn't reply again. It turned to the window.
"I also don't trust that purple unicorn, twilight was it?"

"You don't trust anypony" Lyra said.

"This is different, she said she knew the princess and she seem rather calm to see me.. maybe she a spy."
"Now wait a min-" Lyra stopped to think.. "you know that actually makes a lot of sense thinking of it now"

"Also I would like to be addressed as "he" not "it" or "creature" X said."
"Anyways, the plan. Lyra said.
"What do you have in mind?" said X

"There's a wedding happening in tomorrow, Princess Cadance and shining armor will be there along with princess Celestia herself" Lyra said, a wicked grin emerging on her face that almost scared the human himself.

"Well what about it?" X dared to ask..

"Well what a royal wedding wedding crashers."
"Lyra are you sure you want to do this, this could get us killed."
" We wont get caught.. with my magic, and your well.. Humanity I'm sure this will work well. I'll give you more info
Tomorrow"

Before X could say anything Lyra shut the door in his face,

"Wow, i never knew a "pony" could be so devilish.. or stupid"

X shut his door leaving the barn in well deserved state of silence
