Fang
Saying goodbye to my friends was the most heart breaking thing I ever had to do. I know Twilight tried to convince Celestia to let me stay, but she wouldn't change her mind. I wasn't even allowed to bring Angel along with me. As the stallions took me away tears were running down my face.They put the cage on a cart, and drove off into the night. The last thing I saw of Ponyville was my friends all crying. My heart was broken. The thought of never seeing them again just made me weep. I tried to fall asleep to calm myself down.
About three hours later the cart stopped. The ponies opened the cage. My legs were shaking as I jumped out of the cage. Once I was on the ground the stallions ran off. I decided to go explore the area since it was my new home.
With my wings flapping hard, I took off. Now that I have bat wings I can fly much faster than I could as a normal Pegasus. I started to smell fruit, thus I headed towards the smell. It turned out it was a grove full of fresh, juicy apples. My mouth was watering. The next second I knew, I was feasting on all of the apples one by one for a few hours.
Then I heard something. I rushed to see what it was. It turns out it was another bat pony! A stallion too! His mane was as black as the night, and his coat was as red as an apple. He then noticed me and he then rushed towards me. I quickly flew into a nearby tree. I was scared he would hurt me. I was scared beyond belief. I didn't know how to defend myself in this new state. I braced for the worst.
After a little bit I got out of the tree. He then started to talk to me.
"Shoot! I thought I was the only one in this stupid place! Now it's ruined!"
"Sir. What's ruined?"
"What's it too you?"
"Oh. Well you just seemed so upset."
"Fine. I'll tell you, but let's go back to my place. Oh and what's your name miss?"
"Fluttershy."
"Well follow me Fluttershy! And make sure to keep up!"
I followed the stallion to the center of the forest. There stoop a gigantic apple tree. Applejack probably would have fainted at the sight of this tree. That made me hurt inside. To be reminded of my friends.
"Come on!." he shouted.
I quickly followed him to the top of the tree. He used his wing to sway the huge leaves away. I was amazed at what his place looked like: huge branches for hanging, nice beds made from twigs and some straw and little balcony.
"Did you make all of this?"
"Yes I did. When you’re stuck isolated from civilization, you tend to have a ton of spare time."
"Oh! That's right! I never got your name."
"It's Fang."
"Well, Fang you sure have a nice place. So what is that I ruined?"
"Well you see I have been here for about a year now."
"Gosh that's a long time Fang! Don't you miss your family?"
He didn't respond.
"Never mind about the family thing, can you just continue with your explanation?"
He took a deep breath and then continued.
"I have been so happy being free! I can do anything I want to do. No more rules! No more fears! It's just me and the trees, but now that your here I can't enjoy my solitude!"
"Well I'm sorry about that. It's my not fault I'm here. I got into a bad accident. My friends tried to fix it, but it was no use. Even though I was taken away from them only a few hours ago, it feels like forever."
I started to cry. Fang put his wing around me.
He then said,"Please don't cry because it slows you down! You are stuck here and that's that! Now do what I did and forget about them. Look at what I accomplished. Those thoughts of them hold you back. Now I’m willing to share all of my things with you. There is a catch though. You must forget about them! It will be worth while in the long run trust me. I would love to have a companion, but not one that holds on to the past! So decide now Fluttershy! "
Thoughts were racing around in my head. Maybe he was right. Princess Celestia did say I could never return to Ponyville, and that no one was allowed to come and visit me. My conscience was telling me to hold on to them, but my heart told me to let them go. I finally after a few minutes made up my mind.
"Fang."
"Yea."
"You’re absolutely right. I'm free now and I will be strong! Nothing is going to hold me back!"
"That's the spirit. Now why don't we celebrate by having a moonlit flight?"
"That sounds wonderful. Lead the way Fang."
Fang rushed out of the tree as fast as lightning. I flew beside him. The moonlight was hitting his face. It made my heart race. He looked into my eyes. He looked so dam hot! The wind flowing through his mane made him look even more dashing. I never thought I would find anything good in a place like this. I thought my fate was too be alone, but I guess I am lucky. Fang was so kind to help me out. He could of took me out.
His expression told me he liked me. He then flew down to the ground and then returned to my side.
"Um this is for you. It's a sort of welcoming present," Fang said as he placed a back rose in my hair.
"It's lovely. Thanks."
"Your welcome. It's no problem. I'm kind of happy you showed up."
"But didn't you say.."
"I know what I said, but after getting to know you a little bit I realize that being free isn't worth it if you alone. Sometimes having a special pony with you make the agony of being isolated from the rest of the world a little bit less. I feel like such a sap right now."
"Well. I for one think what you just said was really moving."
"Uh. Uh. Thanks. Now it's almost sunrise. That means it's time to go to bed."
I then just realized that I'm now nocturnal. So I have to get used to sleeping through the day. Once we returned to his tree he let me sleep in his bed, while he slept hanging on a branch. He told me to sleep in the bed for a few days until hanging on trees was comfortable.
Over the next few weeks Fang showed my ropes. He taught me a certain way to spit out the seeds from the apples so that more trees grow efficiently. He also taught me how to communicate using sonar waves like bats do. Over this time Fang and I learned more about each other. One night he told me the story of how he got turned into a hybrid.
His family was going to the county fair. He went to the petting zoo and someone was foolish to bring a Vampire Fruit Bat. It turned out it had rabies. It bit Fang, and you could guess what happened after that.
I learned to love the night! I loved flying. I loved being isolated. No more worries. No more evil monsters, changelings, or evil unicorns. I wasn't scarred of anything. A small part of me still missed my friends back in Ponyville. Every night I stare at a certain star in the Big Dipper. I secretly hoped that my friends could see it too, but as the days went on my friends were erased from my mind.
I wish this didn't happen, but what are you going to do. When life gives you bat features, you make bat pony lemonade.
The months went by and I was never cured. I just remained in the forest with my beloved Fang. I just adapted like any animal would. This is was the life that I had to live because of that freak accident, and at the end of the day my life was pretty sweet.
