Not On Earth Anymore

Chapter 3-Getting Aquainted

As the long hours passed from morning to night, no one came in to see me. Not my friends, not my family, not anyone. The only person who even gave me the time of day (literally thats all he did) was the stupid guard. Once the moon rose I decided it was time to hit the hay so to speak. I was tired, I still had a headache from Ms Magic, and being in a jail doesnt exactly put a smile on your face. Come to think of it, why am i even in jail? Where was my trial? Even more so, why put a minor in jail? I know its like 4 months until my 18th birthday but shouldn't I still be somewhere BUT jail? My mind wandered as my eyes closed for the night.

"Rise and shine!" Some god-forsaken voice called out.

I opened my eyes to the blinding light of the morning. Oh god, it was the unicorn thing from yesterday!

"What? Here to shoot me again? Shoot me with asprin next time..." I sat up and stretched.

"No." She waited. "...Maybe. Anyway, I got permission from the jailer to let you into my custody. Follow me back to--"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"No."

"Do you know how hard it was to get you out of here? Just come, answer some questions for me, and then you can go!"

"How 'bout no?" Im not about to leave my jail cell and follow some talking unicorn to her house to "answer some questions". Why couldnt we do that here? Never thought I'd say those things before now.

"How 'bout yes!"

"No! Im not leaving here until I know whats going on! Dont I get one phone call? Where am I anyway? Some freaky closed off city where the government mutated you stupid horses into freaks?!"

"LOOK!" She stamped her hoof. "You can either come with me or you cans it here and stay there until somebody bails you and your psychotic butt out! With all this crazy talk you've been spouting, I have half a mind to leave you in here anyway!"

She had a point. This cell wasn't the most comfortable place to be. That and I've obviously either been forgotten about or my family is being held captive by the government.

"Fffffffffffffffffff....fine." I looked down, defeated.

Later That Day...like...10 minutes or something

"I guess you already know where everything is since you've been here before." She eyed me walk into the door to her house--Library. OK, unicorn lady lives in a library. Thats not strange, right? "Just pull up a chair somewhere.

I did as she said. All the chairs were pony sized so it took a minute to adjust how I sat.

"Now lets talk. First I guess, what ARE you? Your build suggests draconian ancestry but you lack traits of every other creature in Equestria." She prodded.

At least I knew where I was now...kinda. "Im a human. We're more descended from apes. Kind of... Its hard to explain and I got a C- in science. Can I leave now?"

She starred at me awkwardly like everything I was saying was just flying over her head. "Alright...um, how about this. Whats your name?"

"Jadec Silver. My birth certificate got messed up and my parents were too lazy to fix it so I got stuck with this."

She nodded, finally understanding SOMETHING I was saying.

"Now we're making progress. So, whats your relation to magic?"

"My what now?"

"Magic."

"Magic doesnt exist, stupid head." I know this is all hard to explain scientifically, but MAGIC? Theres just no way.

"Are you cu-razy? Magic? Not existing?! Where would we be WITHOUT magic?!"

"On the couch playing Super Mario Bros while outside jets fly over head bringing people from across the world here and from here to across the world."

Ms Magic Addict looked as if her mom had just kissed her boy friend. It was kind of funny. Then she shook it off and her horn glowed.

"You know what, this is getting us no where. Time to speed things along."

I remembered the glow. It made my heart rush and my head pound but at the same time it calmed me down. She shot it at me just like back at that cozy jail cell. I missed the isolation from this freak already.
---
The same thing happened here as at the jail cell. He started screaming again and fell over writhing. I didnt even use a attitude spell this time. This was just supposed to make him honest. After about 5 seconds he stopped.

"Get up." I said.

He opened his eyes and did as I said. They were purple again.

"Answer my following questions. What's your name, where are you from, what is your relation to magic."

"My name is Jadec Silver. I am from Earth, and my planet has no trace of magic on it."

His answer shocked me. His planet? That cant be right. Although, as far as I know, there is no place called "Earth" on Equestria except for the ground so...is this possible? Another PLANET? With no magic to boot? I obviously needed to study more. What I especially wanted to know is why acted like this every time I tried to use a spell on him.

I kept talking to him for another 2 minutes before his eyes returned to green and he fell back onto the chair.

"WHAT THE HECK! OW!" I groaned. "STOP THAT!"

I tried to lift myself up but everything was fuzzy. Like I had been hit over the head. It felt just like the first time she did this. Was it some kind of drug? Is it the light messing with my brain?

"Right, I think I have enough information for now. Back to jail with you." She said and turned around to open the door.

"Like Im going back there. You said I was done!"

"I did, but I have more questions time wont allow for right now. I dont want you wandering off and Im not leaving you in my house so,"

Something inside me told me I wasnt getting out of this easy so I did as she said and left. In the door way, I turned to her.

"Tomorrow, right?"

"Tomorrow." She said.
