- >You have been hanging on the outskirts of this equine town for a month now, making your home in a cave within the forest.
- >None of the ponies ever see you up close, but they catch glimpses.
- >And as word spreads of you, it gets warped into rumors and speculation.
- >They believe you to be a monster, one who will strike if given the chance.
- >Let them believe what they want, you care not.
- >Makes it easier to sneak food, as they wont try to seek you out for punishment should they spot you.
- >You hear something outside.
- >You glimpse out, and in horror you try to flee.
- >A mob of ponies, carrying torches and various makeshift weapondry has come to vanquish the 'creature'.
- >All of them are shouting profanities at you as they give chase.
- >You run and run, not stopping to look back.
- >It's hopeless you realize, they have the advantage of speed.
- >You change your course, knowing the end is near for you.
- >You've long accepted death since comming here, it's much more hostile than home in this forest.
- >And you dared not to enter the town during day for fear of torture.
- >Why you held on to life this long, you don't know.
- >The mob closes in behind you, wanting to make you suffer.
- >You don't blame them, your kind would have done the same.
- >You reach your destination, and leap off the cliff face into the raging waters below.
- >Perhaps you will drown.
- >Maybe you will die in the rapids.
- >Quite possibly you will die from the force of hitting the surface.
- >But maybe, just maybe, your story has yet to end.
- >Slowly, you wake.
- >You appear to be on the bed of a river, lying on moist sand.
- >You don't know how you got there, but you do know your head hurts like a bitch.
- >First things first, get dry.
- >That's what you're suppose to do... right?
- >You strip off your wet clothing, and start grabbing wood for a fire.
- >Putting it into a pile on the dry sand further away from the water, you grab your pants off the ground and search your pockets for a...
- >What is it you're suppose to use?
- >Damn it, you should know this.
- >You give up, instead resorting to rubbing sticks together.
- >That's how you do it, right?
- >You try for what feels like hours, until your hands are blistered to hell.
- >Damn it, why won't this work?
- >Are you doing it wrong?
- >You feel like you should know this...
- >You glance at the sun.
- >It will soon set.
- >You grab your clothing off the ground and climb into a tree.
- >Forest floors are suppose to be dangerous at night, right?
- >You nestle yourself between two branches, hopefully not where you can fall out in the middle of the night.
- >You close your eyes and wait for sleep.
- >Hopefully this mental fog will disappear in the morning.
- >Hopefully.
- >You wake up, the foliage of the tree shading your eyes from the sun.
- >It's brighter here, you remember that.
- >But why it is you don't know.
- >You grab your clothing, and feel for moisture.
- >It's still very moist, so you sling it over your shoulder instead.
- >You put on your... boots? and hop down.
- >Feeling hunger begin to set in, you go off in any one direction searching for something to eat.
- >What do you eat anyways?
- >Bugs seems like a feasible answer, so you start searching for them.
- >Eventually, you find a bunch of little black and yellow ones, buzzing around a round thing hanging from a tree.
- >You see them going in and out of it, so you rip a chunk off.
- >Suddenly, the yellow and black bugs start attacking you.
- >You run, fleeing back to the river.
- >They follow you still so you hop in, not entirely knowing why.
- >It seems to work, and they leave.
- >You climb back to shore, examining your prize.
- >Looks kind of strange, but it smells nice.
- >You take a bite, and its very... sweet? is that the word?
- >But its food you guess, a bit chewy though.
- >Some of the black and yellow bugs are stuck to it, they taste bad.
- >You pluck them off, and continue eating.
- >You almost finish the thing, when you vomit.
- >Must not be edible.
- >Even though it taste good.
- >You wipe the vomit from your lips, and get searching again.
- >You make your way back through the forest, and come across a tree with red circles hanging from it.
- >Apples.
- >You remember, they're called apples.
- >A few are hanging low enough to pick off.
- >You grab them, and sniff.
- >Doesn't smell like food, but why does your mouth water when you think of eating it.
- >You take a bite...
- >And its, what's the word, delicious?
- >You grab as many as you can carry, and start heading off.
- >You thought about using your pockets on your bottom clothing piece to carry them, but noticed you lost them when you dived in the river.
- >All you have left are your boots, and the apples.
- >Oh well, you don't even remember why you needed them.
- >Wait... You needed them?
- >Continuing onward, you find the trees are getting farther apart.
- >This means the edge of the forest you think.
- >You aren't sure about much lately it seems.
- >At least you can be sure your name is...
- >Oh fuck's sake...
- >Wait, what is that?
- >Its a big... open area...
- >Does it have a name?
- >Across it is more apple trees, a lot of them.
- >You don't need apples, you still have some.
- >You make note of where it is though, hoping you don't forget it like the other stuff.
- >Kind of scares you, you don't even know what you don't know anymore.
- >You're getting pretty thirsty though, and decide to look for water.
- >Maybe you should have stayed with that river.
- >Looking around, you see a tree with holes in it, and a very small river with a weirdly shaped rock over it.
- >Actually, that rock would be good for crossing.
- >You decide to head over to it.
- >As you near the stream, you see little thingies swiming in the water.
- >How do they breath under it?
- >Maybe they're just holding their breaths.
- >You bend down, and start to drink.
- >You drink as much as you can in one go, only tearing yourself away to breath.
- >"Eep!"
- >What was that?
- >You look up to see a yellow...
- >Is that a bird?
- >She's looking at you, just... staring.
- >And you are afraid for some reason.
- >Very afraid.
- >"Now looks here! You've been very bad Mr. Monster!"
- >"Going around, trying to steal from ponies and eat them!"
- >"What do you have to say for yourself Mr.?!"
- >You try to answer, opening your mouth to speak.
- >But instead begin to cry, too confused at your own situation and unnaturally afraid of her stare.
- "I-i, didn't t-try to eat any ponies!"
- >"O-oh my... umm..."
- >"W-what do you mean you never tried to eat ponies!"
- >"I-i didn't!"
- >You remember that you've never eaten anything called a 'pony', it seems to be a sure thing.
- >"Well, you still stole from ponies!"
- >You don't remember whether you did that or not.
- "I-i didn't do that e-either! I think..."
- >"Well... u-um, what do you mean?"
- >You feel more at ease now, that terrifying gaze left her, you think it's a her, face.
- "I... I don't remember much..."
- >A look of worry shoots across her face now, and genuine... concern?
- >You think that's the word.
- >Why would this thing be concerned about you? She just through you ate ponies, whatever those are.
- >"W-well... umm..."
- >What's going on with her, she acted like she was about to cut your head off one moment, now she's acting like she wants to flee.
- >"C-come inside... I guess... you know... if that's alright with -squeak-."
- >You follow her inside the house, watching to make sure she doesn't try anything.
- >It's probably a trap or something, she's probably some sort of predator you can't remember.
- >Its a nice little lair of death though, there are cute little animals of doom running around, and some nice furniture of slaying.
- >"U-um... you sh-should probably -squeak-."
- "What was that?"
- >"You should... -squeak-"
- "I'm sorry, what?"
- >"-squeak-"
- >Damn it.
- >She seems to be motioning towards her ... that's a couch... right?
- >You take a seat.
- >The couch(?) breaks underneath you.
- >It is a trap!
- >You scream, and make to run out the door.
- >Your head smashes into the door ...frame?
- >You black out.
- >You wake up some time later.
- >Wait, you wake up! that means your, what's the word, alive!
- >Maybe she wasn't going to eat you.
- >You try to get up, but a hoof holds you down.
- >"Oh you poor thing, you need to sit still so I can look at those head injuries."
- >Injuries?
- >That means multiple, right?
- >"How did you get this one on the side? You hit your head on the front."
- "I... don't know?"
- >"Well, um... what do you know?"
- "I woke up on the river... bank? That's the side of a river, right?"
- >"Mhmm."
- "I woke up on the river bank, lost my clothing, and came here after being attacked by little black and yellow bugs."
- >"I'm going to need more information than that."
- "I-i don't have any more."
- >"What do you mean? What happened before that."
- "I-I don't know?"
- >"Oh you poor critter!"
- >Is that your name, critter?
- >Probably not.
- >She wraps her legs around you and pulls you into a...
- >You can't remember that word.
- >"You must have amnesia! Maybe Twilight would know a spell to fix it!"
- "Who is she?"
- >"One of my friends who lives in Ponyville."
- >Ville... that means a town right?
- "NO!... I mean, no, please 'dont..."
- >You don't know why, but something scares you about the town.
- >"I'm sure she can help you though."
- "Just, please... no..."
- >She sighs, and mutters something about 'Iron will.'
- >"Look, I'm SURE she can help, I'm going to go get her."
- "But-"
- >"No buts mister, I'm going!"
- >She fly's out the window.
- >This is bad.
- >Really bad.
- >And you don't even know why.
- >You get up off the couch, and grab the table blanket thing.
- >You decide to use it to carry your apples instead of covering up, and leap out the window.
- >You run back off towards the forest, making sure not to be seen by the yellow and pink thing.
- >As you pass, the oddly large amount of animals make way for you, parting like the...
- >That one thing, with the book, and the old guy, and the red water.
- >Oh forget it.
- >Wait, you already have!
- >Fucking 'amnesia'.
- >You re-enter the forest and run.
- >You don't know where you are going, but any place but the town.
- >Just not the town.
- >The ground is getting softer here, and you begin to have trouble walking.
- >Each step you take is more difficult than the last, and eventually you are unable to move.
- "H-Help!"
- >Nothing.
- "Somebody! Please help!"
- >This time, you hear a low growl.
- >That cant be good.
- >You look around for the source, and see...something...
- >It looks like a wooden sculpture of a dog, with glowing eyes.
- >It takes a step towards you, and you begin to freak out.
- "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Someone please help me!!"
- >"You need not fear my friend, I will help put your trouble to an end!"
- >Fuck yes!
- >You look for whoever responded.
- >Some... hooded horse...
- >And it also has glowing eyes.
- >Your probably screwed.
