Load Full Story Next ChapterAN: hey everypony I would like to get introductions out of the way right now my name is Camren, I'm an avid writer, and I love mlp (you should have know that if you're even reading this). I'm going to start with a self inset so you know how I think. I hope you enjoy, criticism is appreciated but please no hating or trolling.
"God what the fuck just happened?" I said sitting down by a tree. I looked around to see a forest all around me. "this is going to be a long day. And its only just begun"
A lot had happened to last night. I remember walking the streets of New York city.
Cars were driving by as I listened to what little I could of people's conversations. Everyone was so happy they had not a care in the world.
They would never know that a 14 year old kid, walking the streets just lost his life. No family or friends, no food or money all he had was the clothes on his back. Even if they knew I don't think they would care, that's just the world we live in.
I walked into an ally and sat down behind a garbage can. I looked into a mirror that was next to me. I still had the same clothes and hair style that I did when I got the news.
I had on a pair of black and white converse, and black skinny jeans. On my top I had a black and white plaid button up shirt, and under that I had on a black short sleeved shirt. My hair was styled in a mow hawk fashion with bright white tips.
I sat there thinking of everything that's gone in my life. First my friends left me because of the way I think, then my family cant really blame them though, then my girlfriend she cheated on me for some stuck up rich snob. Suddenly I felt a gun press up to the back of my head, great now my life is gone too.
"give me all your money" a gruff voice said from behind me
"i don't have any" I said a little to calmly
"don't lie to me kid your life is on the line here"
"why would I lie, its not like I have a lot to live for anyways"
"i said don't lie to me"
"Why would I lie" I yelled "are you so stupid that you cant see I'm homeless. I have no friends, no family, I got no life either so why would I lie" tears were streaming out of my eyes. I just wanted this to be over so I could curl up in a corner and die alone.
"then why do you have on such good clothes"
"because that's what I had on"
"i don't buy it"
I let out a sigh and stood up "Then I'm done here" with that I started walking a way
"don't walk away from me I'll shoot"
I didn't care I just keeped walking, I knew he didn't want to shoot me, I was calling his bluff. To bad I was never good at poker. I felt a bullet go through the back of my head. It was painful but only for a second because by then I was already dead.
I woke up in a forest some time around dawn. I immediately started thinking of what to do... well not immediately first I freaked out because who wouldn't. I started walking in a random direction. I listened to the sound of leaves cracking under my feet and the sound of distant animals.
The animals here really scare me, something just seemed so unnatural. They all ran at the slightest of noise, but that's not what scared me, what really scared me is that there's lions in this forest. I get lion's are the king of the jungle but lions don't live in jungles, much less a forest.
But I digress, as long as it doesn't try to kill me and I don't have to run for my life, fun times will be had. I heard a loud roar from behind me, and I felt something breathing down my back. I slowly turned to see what it was, and I kind of wished I hadn't. Curiosity killed the cat after all.
Behind me was something I thought id never see. It was a lion, but the weird thing about this lion is that it had a scorpion tail and bat wings. Ok where the fuck am I?
I let out a sigh "alright I'm done with this forest, and most of all I'm done with you, you stupid cat!" the lion bat scorpion thing seemed to get more angry at me. It let out a roar before lashing out at me with its paw.
I dived out of the way and landed next to a dead body. I yelled out as I pushed it away from me. The lion started walking towards me as I crawled away. My hand came in contact with something it was could and felt like metal, I looked down to see it was a sword. What the hell is a sword doing here? Whatever I'm not complaining its my only chance.
I picked up the sword and held my ground. It jumped with it's paws extended ready to rip me apart. I jumped out of the way and slashed out. I was able to land a cut at it's shoulders. It turned to me and stabbed with its tail. I spun out of the way and cut it's back leg. It attacked with its paw strait at me, I didn't have time to dodge so I hit it strait on with my sword. I managed to damage its right paw but it easily over powered me and cut my left arm.
I was bleeding but not enough to put me down. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right? It attacked again but this time with its tail. I steeped out of the way and hit it's tail. My sword bounced of it's exoskeleton, my sword came back and hit be above the eye a little bit. Dam double sided sword that's gonna leave a scar.
By now the lion was bleeding a lot by the wound in it's back leg, I must have hit something important. I ran at the beast and it ran at me. We were gonna meet head on for the final hit. I jumped above the lion ready to stab but it countered with it's tail. I dropped my sword and it fell on the lion. It left a deep gash before falling to the ground
The tail pushed me far away from the lion I stopped when my back came in contact with a tree. I slid down and stopped at the roots. I was done for but so was the lion I had won, if i die so would he. The lion walked up in pain and was going to deal the final blow.
Suddenly 6 colorful horses or maybe ponies came to my defense. Two had horns, two had wings, and two were just regular if you could look past the strange colors.
"leave him alone" said a timid voice. I looked around to see where it came from. The only things I could see were the ponies.
"yeah! why are you picking on something so helpless?" said the blue one with wings, a pegasus I'm guessing.
HOLY SHIT! Are ponies talking? Oh hell the fuck nah. I'm out as soon as I can feel my legs.
" actually dash he doesn't look so harmless he did hurt the manticor pretty bad." said the purple unicorn.
"that's a good point darling. Who should we be protecting?" said the white unicorn in some weird accent that I cant place. (really what is her accent)
"well the princess did say t' protect the strange creature" the orange one commented in a southern accent
"it doesn't look that weird. It would only be weird if it didn't like cupcakes. Oh I wonder if it likes pies?" says the crack headed pink pony.
Really? Ok I'm definitely out of here once their distracted. Luckily for me the manticor is persistent. It wanted me dead.
"alright girls lets do this"said the blue one rushing in blindly. They all charged the manticor. They managed to land a few hits before being knocked away. They charged again as the manticor let out a roar.
That was my chance to escape, and I took it. I ran, I didn't think of were to,but I still ran. Nothing was going to stop me. I ran for another minute or two before sitting by the nearest tree to take a breather.
"God what the fuck just happened?"
