- >"Oh...oh my!"
- >Damn it! Did the scent of fresh blood attract more predators?
- >Rabbit still securely in your teeth, you twist around ready to kill whatever had the guts to sneak up on you while you ate.
- >Your vision is greeted with the sight of what appeared to be a...yellow...horse?
- >You shake your head, making sure that your eyes aren't deceiving you.
- >You'd seen (and ate) plenty of horses in your lifetime.
- >But never had you seen such a bright pastel colored one.
- >And were those...wings? What kind of horse had wings?
- >That rabbit couldn't have been tainted somehow could it?
- >The paranoia begins to overflow, so much so that you don't notice the...thing trying to talk to you.
- >"Um I'm sorry its just th-"
- >Wait...it TALKS? My god, when was the last time you heard something talk...IN ENGLISH.
- >"And I didn't mean to disturb you, but-"
- >How long has it been...years...decades?
- >You can't remember the last time you spoke with actual words let alone held an actual conversation.
- >"Its just that I've never seen a creature like you before and-"
- >You can understand what it's saying perfectly, but communicating would be almost impossible for you.
- >There's no way it would understand the gibberish you call language now...
- >You suddenly realize the yellow thing has been slowly flapping its wings and coming closer to you.
- >Quickly placing whats left of the rabbit down, you snarl in anger warning it not to approach any further.
- >It stops for a short while, seemingly scared of the blood covering your face.
- >But that lasts for but a moment.
- >Steeling itself, it begins again albeit even slower than before if that was even possible.
- >For a moment you wonder if you would be better off to just flee, but turning your back on another creature could mean death out here.
- >A risk you couldn't take.
- >You growl as loud as possible, trying to make it clear that its not welcome.
- >"It's o-ok n-n-now, p-p-please don't be scared."
- >Inching ever closer, she reaches out with a single hoof.
- >Enough was enough
- >A single second was all it took
- >With lightning reflexes, your teeth had sunken into its outstretched leg.
- >You don't move, like a pitbull you keep it still in your jaw's vice grip.
- >Taking the moment, you finally focus on its finer details.
- >It had an unnatural bright pink mane, high pitched voice, and an odd scent that decided that she must be female.
- >She didn't dare move, but the pain must be unbearable.
- >Your teeth hadn't crushed the bone, but she was most certainly bleeding.
- >You stared with unguided anger into her eyes as she began to tear up.
- >She was holding back cries of pain
- >You could feel it every time she shivered.
- >Who knows how long the two of you just stared at each other.
- >But finally the silence was broken.
- >"i-i-i'm s-s-sorry"
- >Something inside you couldn't bear hearing that.
- >You weren't stupid.
- >As wild and crazy as you might be you knew better than to kill a fellow sentient creature.
- >They weren't prey.
- >No matter how...delicious they might be.
- >You only killed those that posed a threat to you.
- >Its just that till now...they've always been a threat.
- >After taking a minute to think about it, you gently let her go.
- >She looks at you in surprise, but that doesn't matter.
- >Your attention is still on her leg.
- >Its continuing to bleed, though very lightly.
- >She's nursing it against her chest trying to relieve the pain.
- >You kneel down and gently grasp her hoof with your hand instead this time.
- >Ignoring her confusion, you begin licking the wound clean.
- >She winces from the stinging sensation.
- >Odd.. her blood tastes sweet, much sweeter than the rabbit you were eating just moments ago in fact.
- >"T-thank you, its alright now"
- >You let go of her hoof, she'll have to bandage it herself later.
- >"When I spotted you for the first time I was very surprised."
- >You reply with a grunt and begin examining her more thoroughly.
- >"I'd never seen something like you before."
- >Ignoring her rambling you begin sniffing every inch of her much like a dog would.
- >Her body smells similar to honey, the scent getting stronger the closer you get to her flank.
- >When you follow the scent closer you notice what seems to be....a tattoo of 3 butterflies?
- >"And I said to myself "You're gonna go welcome him right now missy""
- >"Making friends can be scary sometimes..."
- >Her mane smells like various flowers.
- >You stick your nose into it and take a strong breath, etching it permanently into your brain.
- >Her tail tickles you and makes you sneeze.
- >She giggles at that.
- >"But you're just a big old softy after all aren't you"
- >Satisfied you pull away from her.
- >She smelled interesting, but not quite what you're looking for in a mate.
- >After a while she notices you haven't said a word and have been staring at her for quite sometime.
- >"Um I don't mean to be rude but...you...do understand what I'm saying don't you?"
- >A solid nod is the only answer you give her.
- >"Oh thank goodness! For a while I thought I was going crazy again."
- >You don't offer any reply to her statement.
- >"Well...then how about this! We can come to my cottage, its not to far from here."
- >"You can meet all my other friends too, oh they'd be so exci-"
- >You cut her off, putting an open palm towards her face.
- >Shaking your head back and forth you reach down to grab the leftovers of your rabbit.
- >You would never forget to take your meal with you.
- >Who would have thought such a small morsel would end up being so much trouble.
- >As you turn around to head home you hear a squeak from behind you.
- >"w-Wait! M-m-my name's Fluttershy! What's yours?"
- >With a throaty, earthly, primal voice you groan.
- AnOoNnN
- >With a loud snort you proceed to head home.
