Kindness

Vaas didn't sleep well that night. His dreams were plagued with his death and this strange new world. They didn't scare him at all, but there was one peculiar one. A pony with a horn and wings visited his dreams. It spoke of repentance and directions to some sort of town. It was called 'Ponyville', the most cliche name Vaas had heard in a very very long time. The pony that spoke to him called herself Luna and she said that his resistance would be met with hostility. They were coming for him and they wouldn't stop until he was subdued or came peacefully.

Naturally, this put him on a slight edge. He didn't fear these ponies, but they had numbers and they could visit his dreams. They could read his mind and know where he was and what he was about to do if he let his guard down. Vaas wasn't happy about this, he needed answers, and he knew a pony to reveal them.

Fluttershy had similar dreams from her unconsciousness, but when Luna visited them, she had told Fluttershy to play along and that help would be there by morning.

Vaas may not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was one of the most versatile. His instinct told him to wake up before dawn in order to get a head start on his soon to be assailants. He still doubted the strength of them and he needed to flee fast and far just to be on the safe side.

With the remains of the fire still warm from the recent addition of fuel, Vaas readied himself for the journey into the unknown. But first, he required intelligence as to where he was going. He kicked the pony until it woke. It let out a small squeak of alarm and frailty. It didn't matter to Vaas, all he wanted was his answers.

"Tell me, is there a place called, ugh, Ponyville?"

The pony was barely audible with it's confirmation.

"What is it like?"

"I-its a peaceful town w-where nothing bad e-ever happens."

Nothing bad until I go there. Vaas thought.

"Good." Vaas grabbed Fluttershy by her bindings and drug her out of the cave forcefully. Every little movement caused the pony pain as she was pulled through the forest on a mad rush to get out of Dodge.

Vaas seemed to be far stronger than he was yesterday, or it was his urgent need to leave that gave speed to his haste. His new found strength didn't go unnoticed either. Vaas was curious as to what caused this, but his concentration was broken by the crying pony he was dragging.

Fluttershy wasn't doing anything but being drug around on the ground for the past thirty minutes and it was rubbing her raw. Her coat was matted and tear-stained. The psychological effects of being kidnapped and being forced to eat meat was getting to her. Her body had shut down and she didn't know what to do besides cry. Her crying was having an effect though; it was pissing off Vaas. Vaas was known to have a very random temper and depending on what was happening and his mood, it could last a couple of seconds or hours. This was one of those times that it wasn't that long.

He stopped in the middle of the forest, turned to Fluttershy and said "Shut the fuck up you stupid cunt."

Fluttershy only knew what the word 'fuck' meant, but she got the idea. It still didn't stop her from crying, but it was the thought that counted. She tried to stop the tear flow, but the waterworks were far to strong for that to happen. Vaas didn't care that she was trying, it wasn't enough to matter.

"Fine, I see how it it. I'm trying to be a nice guy and take you with me, but you just can't accept my generous gift. I won't bother you anymore with my presence."

Vaas turned around and started to walk away from the tied up pony, only for her to cry even harder. He went through the brush for several yards before silently coming back and climbing a tree overlooking the pony.

It's only a matter of time before those fuckers find her.

Several hours later.

Vaas was about to give up hope of letting the guards come to him. The sun was now high in the sky with the birds chirping happily away. He was about to climb down when the movement of metal caught his ear. Something armored was moving fast towards his position.

In a couple of seconds, a half dozen armored ponies broke through the shrubbery and surrounded Fluttershy. Most of them looked exactly alike with only a few small differences like eye color. The sixth one was the only one of significant difference. Like the others around it, it had a horn on it's head and was much bigger than those around it. The armor it wore was a purplish hue while the others wore a golden set. This was probably a symbol of rank on the battlefield so officers were easily distinguishable from the regular infantry.

Vaas was soon proven right by it speaking up in a masculine voice, obviously male by it's voice. Soon after, four of the six ponies spread out and formed a permiter and the commander and a subordinate, probably a medic, approached Fluttershy. The captain started undoing her bonds while the other one asked her questions.

After a couple of minutes, the underling clearly wasn't getting any answers and just asked her to follow them to safety. She asked Fluttershy to follow them back to town, to which Fluttershy nodded her head.

It's about fucking time.

Vaas watched as the soldiers marched out of the clearing with Fluttershy in the center. Once they had a twenty second head start, Vaas started after them. Eventually, Vaas saw what appeared to be an animal trail. Not really needing to follow them anymore, he went off in search of food.

That Night

Fluttershy was being escorted home from the hospital by one of the guards. They enjoyed the silence that being together made.

The guard was one of the pegasi that Fluttershy had gone to flight school with and once had a crush on. The guard in question had, as is tradition, a white coat and blue eyes and mane. What separated him from the others is his smaller, lighter frame that made him the runt of all pegasi. Naturally, that brought the two together. At some point, unknown to Fluttershy, he had tried to sum up the courage to ask her to a dance, but she moved to Ponyville and had never seen her again.

"Fluttershy," The guard started. "I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time now and..."

Fluttershy smiled at the nervous stallion "It's okay Sky, you don't need to be afraid of me."

"I know, it's just," the stallion sighed. "For a long time, I've regretted not doing this before and I need to tell you.

Fluttershy looked curiously at Sky. "Tell me what Sky? I won't hate you, I promise."

Sky bit his lip trying to find the right words, but he pulled a blank. So he did the ballsiest thing in his life. He bent his head over and kissed her.

Fluttershy was shocked by this and initially wanted to pull away, but after a second she gave in.

Once they separated, they both looked at the ground out of nervousness. Sky because that was his first kiss and he was ridiculously and Fluttershy because it was her first kiss and she was ridiculously shy.

"I-I'm sorry Fluttershy, I'll leave now." Sky started to turn away, but something grabbed his foreleg. When he turned around, Fluttershy was holding him still with a smile on her face and a bright blush to go with it.

"It's okay, you can stay if you want to."

"I'd like-"BANG

A gunshot erupted the conversation as Sky felt the blood circulation to his brain stop. Vaas had seen the whole thing and had decided to interrupt the little moment they had together. Fluttershy stared in horror as her childhood crush fell to the ground and started to bleed everywhere. Her mind tried to wrap around what had just happened and not what Vaas was saying at the time. She tried to stop the bleeding with her hooves, but the blood kept flowing and she was forced to watch the life drain from Sky's eyes. Only once they closed forever did she listen to Vaas.

"-Run now. Why aren't you running? GET OUT OF HERE YOU LITTLE CHICKEN SHIT!"

Fluttershy was forced to stand up and start running away from this psychopath as he chased her back into the Everfree Forest.

Author's Note:

I am incredibly sorry about the wait. Normally it won't be this long. I am well aware of the probable awkwardness at the end, but I have no experience in writing anything like that so that is my excuse.
