Chapter 2: 2. Where am I?

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I was surrounded by darkness. Scary, black darkness. It wasn't like nighttime darkness, it was literally black and no visibility whatsoever was provided. But I could hear birds chirping in the area which probably meant it was day outside.

'So why is it so dark?' I thought. I was lying down on something soft. It smelled and felt like grass which meant I was probably lying in someone's garden or something.

My entire body was hurting and I had a horrible headache. I could see sunlight start flowing through my closed eyelids and it didn't make anything better...

'Wait… closed eyelids?' I realized it was so dark because my eyes were closed. Now I really felt like a retard… I slowly opened my heavy eyelids only to be greeted by the giant, bright and warm sun. I quickly put my arm over my eyes to provide shade for them and looked at my surroundings. I was in some kind of forest. A very green forest… now that I thought about it, everything was more colorful and I had no memory whatsoever about how I got here. I lay back down and replayed today in my mind as I tried to remember.

I woke up, went to school and then…. Then… what happened after that? Suddenly it all came back. The accident, the pole, dying… everything came back… I quickly pulled up my shirt and looked for the hole in my gut but to my surprise there was nothing there. Not even a scar. Even though I supposedly died I tried to believe this was heaven.

"Is this heaven, God?" I asked the air and surprise! Nothing happened…

'It was worth a try.' I thought to myself… I focused my energy and tried sitting up. I managed to get up to a sitting position and slowly tried standing up. I successfully straightened out my legs and my back even though it was a bit wobbly while standing up. I slowly scanned my surrounding area, still squinting a bit since I hadn't really adjusted to the sunlight yet.

I was, as I said before, in a very green forest. There were no houses nearby but there was a sandy road to my right. This being my only way to civilization I voted for it it and I started making my way down to the road that lead to the what I hoped was I got to the road I noticed something. I'm not a good tracker or anything, but I could clearly see that there were wheel marks that were seemingly made by a carriage of some sort and some hoofmarks from horses that supported that fact. One thing confused me though. There were neither human footprints nor prints from any car wheels.

I decided that I didn't care and that I just wanted to go to civilization and eat and sleep. With that in my mind I started walking down the empty road while trying to ignore the pain in my body. Now I could especially feel my leg hurt like shit. My head was pounding a quite bit and it hurt pretty badly, but I kept on walking down the road.

After a while I came around a turn to the left and saw a village in a distance. I could feel my belly grumble in hope for food and I hurried my steps a bit. How would I pay for food though?

I patted on my pockets and found that I had my wallet at home. But there was one bulge in the pocket. I dug into the pocket and pulled out the object. It was my phone! And it even had the headphones plugged in. I pressed the unlock button and the screen lit up. The battery meter was reading 47% but I had no signal at all. I wanted to save my battery since I had no phone charger with me so I put it back in my pocket.

As I slowly started getting closer to the village I could start making out a few details. One detail that stood out was that I could see small colorful blobs that walked back and forth in the village.
Confused, I walked closer trying to see what it was. As fast as I could make out what it was I stopped. It was small animals! It looked like colorful dogs or something similar.

I slowly moved my way to the edge of the village and as I got there I could see something that surprised me to say at least. There were small horses in all kind of colors walking around, talking to each other, shopping, working and doing all kind of chores that humans do. At the same moment that I realized this I saw a small foal walking towards me. I quickly threw myself behind a small house, clenching my teeth as my leg hurts more than ever from the fall, and hid myself as good as I could. In this case that meant completely open behind some baskets filled with fruits of some kind.

The sound of hooves coming closer echoed through my head and I found myself holding my breath.
Suddenly, thanks to my luck, the head of a small yellow horse with red mane and a bowtie popped around the corner of the baskets. The foal simply stared at me with a frightened look in its eyes and I replied with a stare of my own. With no warning whatsoever the small foal let out a very human scream and me being a manly man I did what any man would do.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, a very girly scream if you must know, before jumping back onto my feet and tried running for a forest in front of me. The injury in my leg caused me to fall back onto the ground and I crawled as fast as I could towards the safety of the woods. The foal was running the opposite direction, towards the village, most likely to get back to get more of the horses.

I could feel my vision become dizzy and blurry and it started fading into black. I figured I was passing out from the headache but I had to stay awake. Who knew what would happen if I blacked out.

As I reached the forest I lay down behind a rock and hid under a fallen tree and covered myself up in grass. After I finished I tried calming down to able to think clearly. By then I realized that the horses definitely were sentient beings. The beings also acted like humans and also talked to each other, most likely in some alien language. All this info pointed at a few possible things.

Either I had died and reached heaven, most likely not since I hadn't seen any other humans.
or I had somehow got transported into an alien world, probably not since it doesn't make any sense.
The last option was that I was currently in a coma and the drugs needed to live make me have vivid dreams, this neither made sense since I could feel pain very clearly.

Suddenly a voice could be heard through the air. A group of some horses were standing and talking to the foal I saw earlier, most likely talking about me, but I couldn't hear what they were saying but I probably wouldn't understand them anyway.

After a few minutes of talking the horses left. Well… all but one. The remaining horse, a horse bigger than the foal that had yellow fur and a pink mane, started walking towards me and stopped as it reached the edge of the forest. It looked back and forth trying to locate me before speaking.

"hello? Uhm… I don't know if you can hear me, but please don't be afraid. I won't hurt you I promise. Could you possibly come out so that I can see you? Oh… uhm… if if it's okay with you of course. It can get so dark in the forest at night."

I was shocked. They talk English? That means will understand them! I quickly thought of her offer. I knew it was a she from the voice and she sounded very nice. She had a very shy, soothing voice and I didn't have anything to lose since I would probably die here in the forest. I could feel the darkness from the headache slowly consume my mind.

I figured that I wouldn't talk since she thinks I'm an animal and I really need food and rest. Maybe she is a vet who can feed me?

I slowly shuffled in my uncomfortable position so she could see where I was. As she saw me move she hurried to get to me. Hoping that she could treat me I let the darkness take over.

Fluttershy's POV

As I approached the form of the animal I could see that whatever it was, it was hurt. I searched the lifeless body carefully as not to hurt it more but I couldn't find anything severe. I could see that it was wearing some kind of clothing which could mean that it belonged to someone. Also the creature was kind of muscular and its muscles appeared clearly on the pale skin.

"Hello? Are you awake?" I asked. I got no response from it. It must have passed out completely.
I knew the basics of medical treatment from taking care of my animals for such a long time so i knew what to do. I gathered two branches that were thick and took some leaves from a tree with very robust leaves that is called the firefly tree. I put the leaves and branches together to make an improvised stretcher.

After finishing, several attempts later, I carefully rolled the body onto the stretcher while making sure nothing got more injured. When I felt sure that the body wouldn't roll off I took three branches and made a small harness for pulling. When everything was finished I started pulling the heavy creature through the edge of the village towards my home.

~ Time Skip; 10 Minutes ~

As I reached my home I opened the door and slowly pulled the stretcher into the warmth of the cottage. When we both were in I was greeted by all my little friends. Angel stood in the doorway to the kitchen with an angry facial expressive, his foot stomping quickly. He pointed to the clock and then to his mouth.

"I know you're hungry Angel but I have a hurt friend for you here. Mr Bear, Could you please check so that he is comfortable until he wakes up? I have to tell twilight about this." I asked to my big fluffy bear that stood in the living room. Mr bear nodded before slowly lifting the body onto the couch slowly with his front paws.

"Thank you! I really appreciate it." I said as I smiled at Mr Bear.

"Now, I will be right back with something to eat for you. See you soon!" and with that I closed the door and made my way towards twilight.
