Chapter Four: You look familiar
The purple alicorn was very happy to see me around, but didn't stop asking questions until I finally cut in and ask her "what's your name first off" and she finally realized that she had asked me probably a hundred questions before even waiting for me to answer. She said that her name was Twilight Sparkle, when I said my name like always she said "your name is demon?" I'm really tired of people saying that, but I guess I can't blame them to much for it. I corrected her like that Fluttershy girl. I though about asking this mare whether she knew a Fluttershy, but I didn't because really I didn't have much of a choice. She pretty much dragged me to her house which was a tree that had been hollowed into a library. I though about where it was. It was kind of in the middle of a intersection. A really nice location to be. She through me into the house with some force, but I was ready for it and caught myself from falling. She then started barraging me with question this time, at least letting me answer some of them this time. She asked the usual question of "where is your family?" "is there more alicorns out there?" "Do you have any friends?" the answer I gave to that one she was kind of taken back about, "yea I have one, her name is Fluttershy, she seemed nice." She gave me a weird glance and then asked if I knew more about her, to which I said "no I only knew her for a short while, maybe 4 days I guess" And then she asked me if I wanted to see her, I though to myself "so she got here before me? How…" and then she started to walk out of the library and told me to follow and we would go to Fluttershy's house. So I followed her closely, the other ponies were still staring like I was some sort of royalty. I asked twilight about why they were staring and she gave me a answer that I didn't want to hear "because we haven't had a stallion alicorn in nearly 10,000 years" Great, so now I stick out worse them a human in this world. But I guess it is with a little less of the whole being a monster thing… At this point I don't know which would actually be better. "Are you okay?" she asks while I was in though "yes I'm just thinking" As we started walking farther from town I look around and ask her whether her house was in a different town. She laughed a little and said that Fluttershy lived on the outskirts of town near something called the Everfree Forest. That must have been where I woke up nearly 6 hours ago. The sun was close to setting and you could start to see the edges of the moon on the horizon. As we walked I saw a small cottage with quite a few animals running around the outside of the cottage. When we got close I saw that we were heading straight for it. So I picked up a bit of speed wanting to hurry, I still needed to find a place to stay for the night. I wasn't going to sleep on the hard forest floor. I would end up eaten by something… But that wasn't my main worry right now. I continued to the door of the cottage when twilight showed up merely a second latter and said "you must like her if you in that much of a hurry" But I told her quickly that I just wanted to see a familiar face in this place. She had a huge grin on her face and a look of thinking she knew about how I liked her, but I really did just want to see a familiar face. At least she didn't try to prove it more and simply composed herself then knocked on the small door that had 3 parts to it. A yellow Pegasus with a pink mane came out of the cottage and seeing me immediately said "don't I know you from somewhere?" but then she quickly coward behind her door a bit and twilight quickly spoke asking if we could come in and talk for a while. Fluttershy agreed and I noticed a pendant around her neck… it was the amethyst from the circle, but it had significantly decreased in size and was now about the size of half a hoof. Then twilight seemed to notice it just now and asked where she got that pendant. Fluttershy said in a daze "I don't know, I just know that I don't want to let it go anywhere" that was weird, did the portal have a effect on her that cleaned her memory. Either that or there was already someone here close enough to her personality… I was deep in though when twilight finally asked Fluttershy whether she knew me or not. I quickly snapped out of my though to see what she would say. Fluttershy looked a bit dazed still but said "I don't know him but he does look familiar." So I told her my name again and she seemed to have to think about it for a long while before finally commenting "you do seem very familiar, where do I know you from?" Twilight didn't look to happy with the answer she was getting from us. Lots of "I don't know" and "it seems familiar" statements were said. I wanted to tell her about what happened on earth, but though better of talking about it around twilight. She shouldn't know about it yet. As I was still kind of out of the conversation I waited for them to finish and asked the question I had forgot about almost completely, "so is there anywhere I can stay for a while?"
I hope you are all enjoying this so far; I'm having a lot of fun making this. Leave me some feedback, it would be much appreciated.
