'Up Yours, So Edgy' - Chap. 2 -

>*Knock Knock Knock*

"Hello?! Twilight Sparkle? Are you there?"

>As you knock on the door you look around to see if any pony might be around that would trust you enough to tell her where she is

"Seriously? I know you are at least there Spike! Come on and open up!"

>Still knocking frantically, you remember what happened earlier with the ponies in the town square

>Apparently a pony from that incident must have come to give the news of the 'scary new arrival that spoke to Discord in the town square' to Twilight and Spike, because Spike gasped in surprise and slammed the door in your face when you first knocked

>You stop knocking and sit down and think for a bit about the reasoning behind why the ponies would be so scared of you at first sight; it is not like they haven't dealt with new creatures in their village. Haven't they learned from the Zecora incident

>As you continue to ponder the reasoning for all of the fear, you hear a rustle come from inside and look over to see a purple dragon looking through it, before noticing you see him and quickly closing the curtain

>Now you are seriously annoyed, but decide to try and take a calm reasonable approach; there would be no benefit from scaring a baby dragon of the pony you need help from

>You walk over to the window in which you saw Spike look out of and say in a gentle voice while knocking on the window

"It is okay Spike. I am not anybody scary, just a visitor to the village who needs some help. If you could get me Twilight Sparkle, I would very much appreciate it."

>After you finish saying that, you sit still listening to see if you can hear him doing anything

>Complete silence follows

>The silence lasts for a good 30 seconds or so until you hear the sound of Spike whispering, along with the whisper of another individual that you could not identify through the glass

>Another idea hatches while you wait for the voices to finish conversing

"You know, I heard that this tree is actually a library. Oh how I would love to be able to read all of the different stories written by great pony authors and converse with an educated pony about interpretations that could be made of the texts or about the actual content of the books."

>You sit in silence for another 30 seconds or so again, until you hear the front door start to open

>Feeling excited you start to rush over to the now cracked open door

>As you are about to reach the door, it slams shut and you hear Spike yell "ARE YOU CRAZY?"

>You sit there slightly awestruck and betrayed, thinking for sure you finally coerced your way in to finally start your adventure in the magical land of Equestria, but instead got a door slammed in your face

>Standing in front of the door motionless, you hear the sound of Twilight speaking behind the door

>"Sorry Spike, but we don't know if it is dangerous or not. We should give it a chance, like we did with Zecora. Not all unknown things are bad."

>Spike immediately rebuts in a maddened pleaing tone

>"It is BECAUSE we don't if it is dangerous or not that I don't want to take that chance. Twilight, the last thing I would want is for you to get hurt."

>You hear a third voice interject, which after listening to the first few words you identify to be Applejack

>"He's right now sugarcube, Twilight we don't know what that thing is or what it is capable of. Fir' all we know it could be something as dangerous as a changelin' or draconicus."

>You feel it is your time to interject from outside the door, because leaving speculation to vouch for what type of person you are doesn't sit well with you

"Hey Twilight, Applejack, and Spike. I am not somebody dangerous or terrifying. I am just an average old human... ape-thing to you guys, and I swear that if you can let me into the library I can prove that I am not a threat. I am not anything like Discord and I sure won't do the sorts of things Chrysalis did. All I want is to prove that I am not a threat so that I can go on adventures with you and the other elements of Harmony."

>You continue to stand in front of the door in silence after making your plea to the three you know are in there, if not more ponies you haven't heard from yet

>After waiting in silence for what seems to be an eternity you are about to speak up again, but Twilight's voice cuts you off

>"I don't know what or who you are. I will send a letter to the princess, but until either she sends back that you are not a threat or until we have all six of the elements together then I can't let you in."

>While you are quite angry, you understand their caution against an unknown creature

"I understand Twilight. I will be honest, I don't know where I will stay for the night, but thank you for hearing out my plea. I wish to hear back from you as soon as I can."

>You start to walk away while you hear something which sounds like the three ponies arguing, with Applejack's voice sounding angry and scared, Spike's sounding just plain manic, and Twilight's voice sounding assertive but obviously worried

>While you do feel bad for creating more problems for the Alicorn Princess, it is kinda necessary due to the fact you have been dumped in the middle of nowhere with nothing but your work clothes on your back

>In hindsight, you should have asked Discord if you could bring some items of yours from your world to this one

>You reach into your pocket and pull out a black handled flip-out knife you bought from a pawn shop a few weeks back that you always kept on you

"Ah... At least I still have you trusty pocket knife."

>You admire the craftsmanship of the knife that got you to buy it before you put it back in your pocket

>As the day goes on you continue to go around the town trying to find any pony that would be willing to hear and help you out

>The only pony who didn't immediately run away when you approached was the background pony Lyra, who was obviously too fascinated by your digits to run, giving you enough time to get close and try and talk to her

>But sadly that didn't work either; when you uttered your first word she snapped out of her trance and bolted, and by that time you were too tired and hungry to try and chase after her

>The sun was setting and you were without a place to stay and had no food to eat

>Deciding that there was nothing else you could do, you decided to go back to the library to see if Twilight had changed her mind and would let you in, which you were willing to beg because you had no food or shelter for the night and did not want the first night of your new life to be spent alone, cold, and hungry

>As you walk up to the tree-library you see a plate of flowers and hay on the ground with a note pasted on the wall above it

>You kneel down and tear the letter off of the wall, using the light from the dimming sun to read it

>The letter reads:

'Dear Unknown Creature from earlier,

I have sent off a message to Princess Celestia informing her of you and your presence. I did my research around Ponyville and got multiple witness accounts of what has happened and what you have been doing today. I have not spared any details in describing what I have learned of you and what you have done so far in Ponyville. The princess sent a letter back saying not to allow you shelter in the library, nor in any of my friends' houses. While I cannot say I do not feel bad for you and your circumstances, I will follow Celestia's advice and have advised all of the ponies in Ponyville to stay away from you until all matters have been sorted out and Celestia allows it. Provided under the letter is some nourishment so that you do not go hungry for the night. Please accept my dearest apologies and I do hope that we will come to a peaceful understanding of one another soon enough.

Yours truly,

Princess Twilight Sparkle'

>You continue kneeling there while holding the letter in one hand and forehead palming with the other

>You are completely astonished by the fact that Celestia would actually give an order to her subjects to refuse a creature in need shelter

"Damn it Molestia, you have to go and be a dick to me before we even get acquainted. I swear, I am totally gonna fuck your sister right in front of you for that..."

>You look down at the inedible greens and hay on a plate right below you then fall on your ass and give a huge sigh

>While your stomach continues complaining that it needs food, you can't just give it anything that someone deems to be "nourishment". Twilight obviously doesn't know anything about your eating habits and what can be dictated as nourishing to you

>After sitting on your ass you look up at the sky and try to speak to Discord

"Yo. Discord, if you are there. I am extremely hungry, mind conjuring up some grub for me?"

>After a few moments, the pink clouds from earlier appear again and show a big 'X' mark in the sky

>You sit there annoyed and groan at the fact that Discord apparently has the power to send you into an alternate universe, but doesn't have the power or willingness to conjure you up some food

"Hell, I could even go for one of those cotton candy clouds right now. Come on man! I don't know how it is for immortal chaos gods, but I kinda need to eat to live."

>Nothing changes in the sky with the giant 'X'. After a minute or two of just sitting there, hoping for a response that would include a comfy bed and a nice cooked dinner, you finally look back up and try for a different request

"Hey Discord, if you can't conjure me food, mind at least pointing me in the direction of where I can find some myself?"

>Immediately after finishing your sentence, the cotton candy clouds seem to transform into a large multi-shaded blue moving cloud

>The cloud starts moving towards you at an incredible speed

"Holy shit... Is this gonna be good or bad?"

>As the cloud approaches you start to see that it is not actually a cloud but a bunch of blue balls with black specks on the top of them

>You start to run away screaming

"OH SHIT! THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR MAN!"

>The blue balls follow you at an incredible pace and catch up to you in no time

>They surround you and start swirling around you as you panic flip out

"NO SERIOUSLY? THE FUCK IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW?!"

>The sound of Discord laughing in Soprano surrounds you and makes you want to scream, if you could even breath properly

>The air pressure the blue balls swirling around you starts to lift you off of the ground

>You are flipping out while being thrown around in mid-air, obviously being carried off to someplace

>After a good 5 minutes or so of intense wind pressure against your body making your feel like you are in an extreme wind tunnel, you finally fall onto the ground and the wind around you normalizes while many of the blue balls disperse

>You sit there twitching and startled, unable to scream still, but now because of the fact you are too scared to move or speak

>As you slowly start to regain your sense of self and normality, only a few laughing balls remain around you

>You start to do mini-screams and gasps just to try and get out the need to scream you had from earlier which you never satisfied

>Three laughing blue balls, which you can now identify to be blue parasprites with top hats, circle your head and say in a high pitched John De Lancie voices

>"You need to eat yes you do, but will you eat living food? To stay alive you must break a pony taboo, and eat the friends of a potential friend for you."

>As they disperse, all giving the most annoying high pitched laugh you have ever heard in your entire life, you find your balance and slowly stand up to look around to see you are in a field at the edge of a forest

>*Growl~*

>Your stomach is still crying for nourishment and you are feeling weaker than before after that unwanted ride

"My god... Discord, I don't know what the fuck you meant to do by having all that happen to me, but I swear to god you didn't help at all."

>You start walking away from the forest, dusting yourself off, and go towards the field and see a chicken walking towards your direction, randomly pecking around

>The cute looking pastel colored chicken from this world makes you give a little "~dawwww" before you head over to try and pet it

>The chicken doesn't seem to notice you while you are approaching, either that or does not have the fear of unknown potential threats that normal chickens in your world have

>*Growl~*

>Your stomach starts to growl again as you approach the chicken

>'Ah fuck. I seriously need something to eat' you think

>As you are about to lean down and pet the chicken, like Ed, you suddenly realize 'Hang on, this chicken isn't just absolutely adorable, it is probably absolutely delicious and nutritious'

>You start to remember back of the times you went to visit your Asian relatives and how they butchered chickens at their own house/mini-barn area to eat fresh chicken whenever

>Suddenly your mouth waters and the only thing that you can think of is turning this adorable little bite sized chicken into a tasty little bite sized chicken snack

>You start contemplating while still slowly walking up to the chicken for how you could kill it, you could try and snap its neck, but you fear it would try and bite you which would lead in unnecessary injury. You could try and stomp on it, but that would probably ruin the meat and lead to an unnecessarily slow death for the poor thing; you wanted to eat it, but not make it suffer

>As you are thinking of ways to kill it, the chicken finally notices you sneaking up on it and starts to book it in the other direction while clucking loudly

>You drop all planning and just start running at it full speed, determined not to let your dinner get away from you

>With your much longer legs and adrenaline pumping, it takes you only about 10 seconds to close the distance and catch up to the chicken

>You tackle the chicken and start holding onto it for dear life as it squirms around and starts giving off an ungodly chicken scream

>You try to snap its neck, but it is twisting around and struggling too much to get a grasp on it with your free hand

>Suddenly, you remember the one item that was brought with you into this land of ponies and easy-to-catch chickens; your pocket knife

>Immediately you grasp the chicken as hard as you can with your left arm the chicken so to free up your right arm to grab the knife out of your pocket

>As the chicken screeches and struggles, you whip out your pocket knife's blade and scream to the chicken

"I'M SORRY MY FEATHERED FRIEND!"

>The chicken stops screeching and starts giving a disgusting gurgle as you stab sidewards into its throat and carve outwards to put an end to the chicken's short life

>As you sit there, shirt stained and arm covered in blood, you start twitching for a few moments out of the fact you killed an innocent creature with your own hands so brutally

>You sit there for a few moments silently, then start to laugh quietly as the stress and adrenaline drains from your body

>Your reasoning kicks in and starts to tell you that what you have done can't be undone, but it was necessary for survival

>To cope with the fear and anxiety that accompanied your first animal slaughter you get up and laugh loudly and triumphantly, as if you have just slain a tiger or some great beast

"Oh! This is brilliant, you shall make the best meal beast. In celebration of your generous gift of your life for mine, I shall name the weapons I will make with your bones after you."

>As you laugh loudly and proclaim your victory over nature, you hear a sudden shriek from behind you

>"Hellen! No Hellen... No! Please Celestia no!"

>You turn around immediately and stop laughing as you see a weeping Fluttershy sobbing over the dead carcass of the chicken you just killed

>"No! No! No! Why?!"

>She continues to sob and mourn the death of the chicken, seemingly having a mental breakdown

"F-Fluttershy?"

>You manage to whimper out

"Fluttershy... Are you alright?"

>You reach out to her with your blood covered arm

>She shrieks extremely loudly and yells

>"NOOOOO!"

>Fluttershy runs away at full speed back to the other side of the meadow

>The last thing you see of her imprints your mind with a horrifying image you never want to see again: Fluttershy's tear streaked face giving you the saddest and most fear filled look you have ever seen in any creature

>You sit there for a second and then flop on your back

"I-I'm sorry..."

>You say silently to yourself

>The chicken you killed was obviously one of Fluttershy's pets. You killed it, then laughed over its corpse right in front of her

>The amount of guilt you feel right now is overwhelming; enough to make you completely lose your appetite

>As you lay in place you recall Discord's earlier words

>"You need to eat yes you do, but will you eat living food? To stay alive you must break a pony taboo, and eat the friends of a potential friend for you."

>That fucker set this up. He could have just given you some food, but he just had to make you do this

>You sit there and silently for a few more moments before thinking 'Discord didn't make me do this... I chose to do this, he just gave me the push...'

>The feelings of guilt are accompanied by a feeling of just as powerful dread

>You know that the ponies didn't trust you, and actually feared you for an unknown reason, as you entered the town, but now you may have just traumatized the kindest pony living in it as a first impression to everypony

>The thoughts running through your head start to make you roll around on the ground in mental pain, not wanting to think about it but being forced to not forget

>*Growl~*

>Your stomach growls once again amongst all of this agonizing torture of worries and guilt

>You sit up and look towards the dead chicken

>*sigh*

"Well... What is done is done and I need to eat to keep up my strength..."

>Coming to terms with your needs and leaving the guilt and dread to drift around your thoughts subconsciously, you go and collect firewood and start a fire like you learned back when you were in the boyscouts; through friction

"Oh my god... This is going to be disgusting."

>You say to yourself as you take out your pocket knife and sharpen it on a nearby rock, to get it ready to skin the chicken

>Hesitantly, you start to pluck the feathers from 'Hellen', blood coming from the chicken's skin as you rip off the feathers

>You are massively disgusted, but become desensitized to it all after a good few minutes

>Gutting the chicken was not as hard once you stopped feeling the initial disgust and horror when you plucked all of its feathers off

>Once you get done with all of that, you put the chicken on a large rotisserie-like stick and cook it slowly

>The disgust you had from earlier is completely gone once you start to smell the delicious cooked flesh of the chicken

>Once you get done cooking the chicken you place it on a makeshift plate of stones on top of sticks which your tried your best to blow off of the dirt off of

>Your arms, hands, and parts of your torso/legs are still covered in blood, thus you decide after eating the chicken to find some leaves to use as napkins, which does not work very well

>After an extremely long night of meeting all of your needs, you decide to go to sleep next to the fire, having nothing for bedding or covers, just a slowly dying fire to keep you warm until you sleep

>As you drift off to sleep, getting ready for the day tomorrow you only imagine how you can apologize to Fluttershy

>You obviously will need new clothes, because yours kinda have Hellen's essence splattered all over them, which if Discord doesn't oblige with you will kick him so hard in the balls he will become the disgusting fanon, Eris

>As you start to plan how you will deal with everything, the anxiety starts to dull

>Sleep overtakes you, a dreamless sleep in a once serene meadow now stained with the blood of an innocent, but delicious, chicken
