1. >This was bad.
2. >The deathclaw just stood in place, sniffing the air every so often while wringing its massive hands together.
3. >It knew you were around.
4. >It just didn't know where.
5. >Fluttershy slowly raises her head above the edge of the window, trying to see what you're looking at.
6. >"...what is that?..."
7. >She speaks in the lowest of whispers.
8. >Good. The louder you two were, the quicker you'd be dead.
9. >You bring a finger to your lips, motioning her to return to the floor of the bus.
10. >Every move you made had to be as slow and quiet as possible.
11. >The beast starts to peer inside broken down cars, pawing within them for any signs of prey.
12. >You look to Fluttershy.
13. >Her face is scrunched up, and twitching.
14. >...
15. >Wait.
16. >NO
17. >She sneezes.
18. >And then the deathclaw is right on top of you both.
19. >A roar pierces your ears as the Deathclaw rushes the fan, claws outstretched and thirst for a kill.
20. >You grab Fluttershy in your arms and scramble out of the bus, right as the beast slams into the rusty vehicle.
21. >Fluttershy squeals in surprise.
22. >Silence wasn't important anymore, survival was.
23. >So you run.
24. >"Anon what is that thi-"
25. >Pain.
26. >Dear god what was that pain?
27. >You were... off the ground?
28. >Oh.
29. >Oh god.
30. >Your body slams into the decaying wall of a rundown building, your form crumpling to the ground below.
31. >Fluttershy was safe in your arms, but that wouldn't matter very soon.
32. >Blood seeped from your side where the deathclaw's talons tore at you.
33. >As the deathclaw stormed at you, you do all you can to roll over, covering Fluttershy with your body.
34. >She's... trying to get out of your arms?
35. >Why is she-
36. >Suddenly she bounds out of your grasp and leaps over you.
37. >NO.
38. >You yell to her, trying to get her to stop.
39. "No! Get away from-"
40. >The deathclaw stands over Fluttershy, teeth bared and claws at the ready.
41. >Fluttershy stands her ground.
42. >"NO."
43. >A claw is raised, ready to strike.
44. >"I...said...NO."
45. >You cringe, certain you were about to watch this yellow pony be torn to bits right before your eyes.
46. >Instead, you watch as the deathclaw lowers its hand, and backs away from Fluttershy.
47. "...what?..."
48. >"No go away, big critter. Go on."
49. >Her voice is as small and soft as it always was, but this thing...
50. >This thing was doing what she said.
51. >It was leaving.
52. >And like that, it slunk away into the distance
53. >You lay there, bloodied and beaten, utterly dumbstruck at what's in front of you.
54. >Fluttershy turns around, tilting her head and smiling at you.
55. >Once she sees the gash in your side, however, her smile gets replaced with a worried gasp.
56. >"Oh my! Are you alright?"
57. "What did...you do?"
58. >"Oh my goodness, you're bleeding!"
59. "It didn't attack you... why?"
60. >"Hush now, you're hurt. Let me try to help you."
61. >...
62. "..okay"
63. >You push yourself to your feet, your left side burning in pain.
64. "Fuck!"
65. >Clutching your wound, you look around you.
66. "In here."
67. >You limp over to the building you were thrown into and shove your way through the door.
68. >It's old, dark and dusty, but it was as good a place as any to settle down into for a rest.
69. >"We should find you a bed."
70. "Yeah... yeah okay."
71. >She smiles up at you.
72. >"It's alright Anon, you'll be fine."
73. >You give a laugh and wince.
74. >God it hurts to laugh.
75. >Pushing your self up stairs, you find a bed.
76. >There were signs of skeletal remains littered in the room, and Fluttershy cringes.
77. >"Oh my..."
78. "Just ignore them and hand me a stimpack.
79. >You sit on the bed, your side still bleeding while Fluttershy digs through your pack.
80. >She trots up to you, a needle in her mouth, and hands it to you.
81. "Thanks."
82. >You swiftly jab it into your thigh, releasing the mix of morphine and other chemicals.
83. >Your eyes grew heavy, and you found yourself collapsing on the bed.
84. >Fluttershy returns to you with bandages and gauze in her mouth, and begins to patch you up.

88. "Okay, answers."
89. >"Um, excuse me, could you take off your shirt perhaps?"
90. >You sit up and throw away the torn clothes from your back, but continue with Fluttershy.
91. "What happened back there?"
92. >She smiles.
93. >"Well, I told that big critter to leave."
94. "And it did. Why?"
95. >"I told it too. Oh, and I gave it the stare."
96. "The what?"
97. >"The stare. I told it to leave, and sure enough it did. Works every time!"
98. >She grins at you, and you could have sworn you heard a "squee" sound.
99. "I just... I thought I was about to lose you."
100. >You bring a hand to the top of her head, stroking it gently.
101. >You wince as the chemicals from the stimpack begin taking effect, the torn skin on your side knitting itself back together.
102. >That was going to leave a nasty scar.
103. >"Lose me?"
104. "Well, yeah. It's not too often that you survive an encounter with a deathclaw."
105. >She smiles and nods to you.
106. >"I suppose we're the exception."
107. "Yeah... yeah I guess we are."
108. >She nuzzles into your neck before starting to wrap the gauze around your waist.
109. >Looking at the small yellow pegasus, you can feel your face shifting into a small grin.
110. >You owed her.
111. >She'd saved you life for the third time, and here she was patching you up in an old, decaying house.
112. >She asked for nothing in return.
113. >Had she not been with you today...
114. "Thank you."
115. >Her ears perk up.
116. >"For what?"
117. >You wrap her up in a hug.
118. >You hadn't hugged something in a long time.
119. "For everything."
