Another Chance at Life
Chapter 61: 61. What Happens Now?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA/N: What is going to happen next? All I am going to say is that it’s unexpected. I will be starting those breaks this chapter, but instead of what was going to be done normally I will be doing *****P*****, and *****K***** to symbolize Ponyville and Kyle. On with the chapter!
I must have fallen asleep, because when I woke up there as a low light coming in from the ceiling. Fuck this place; I’m getting out of here! I decided that now was the best time to try to get free of my dungeon.
I had a little bit of leeway on the binds my wrists were in behind the pole. I leaned forward so the chain separating my wrists was taught against the pole, then I slid my arms up as high as I could. Now for the part that will make me look like a boss if I do it! And it’s going to be a pain in the ass! I jumped and my arms slid up the pole further, while that was happening I thrust both of my feet back and they gripped the pole, so I stayed where I was. So far so fucking good, let’s see if I can’t get out of here! I then started to back crawl up the pole with the chain bindings sliding up as I went. Pretty soon I felt the top of the pole and I was getting ready to make the fall back down free of being tied to that pole. I lifted up my arms once more and they slid over the top and I fell back down to the cobblestone floor. Ouch, but I am still in a good mood now because I did that.
I got up a few moments later and my wrists were still being held behind my back. I did the leg trick so I could have partial movement of my hands and arms, then I walked over to the table with all of my things on it. Ok, seeing as everything is here and didn’t look to be touched, I am going to look for something to get these bands off. I hate my luck; I should just be a stay at home dad, which never leaves, even if it is just to say hi to somepony in town. *sniffle*
I walked around the room and didn’t see anything that could help, until I saw what looked to be a tie for a railroad or something and a hammer. B-E-A-UTIFUL! This is it! I picked up the spike and hammer and then set my wrists down on the table. I positioned my hands and then I started to hammer the spike down in between the rings of the chain. It was going by slow, there wasn’t very much power in my swings, seeing as they were bound up, so I got pretty irritated. You griffons are going to get a royal ass whooping when I get out of here! Celestia might even want to kick your asses, and that is possibru after this little stunt you pulled! HAR HAR HAR!
I eventually got the spike down into the table enough that it wouldn’t budge. Good…good, now for the breaking and hurting! *sheds a man tear* I pulled my arms back so the chain was taut again and set put my feet on the table’s rim so I could have more leverage. Look ma no everything!
Everypony was doing well in Ponyville. All of them going about their normal routines…..all except one over excitable party pony. Pinkie Pie was in the bakery and she was making her famous cupcakes when she felt it. She started to do a various sequence of twitches and shakes. When she was finished she dropped the pan she was holding and ran out of the bakery towards the only pony that she thought could shed light in on the situation….Twilight.
Twilight was in the library reading a book about mythical creatures when she saw a pink blur rush up to her. She jumped back, but immediately calmed down a little when she saw the pink pony standing in front of her. She almost immediately felt concerned when she saw that Pinkie didn’t look like her normal self.
Pinkie’s hair was lying flat on her head; there was no shape to it like there normally was. She was also acting a little jittery and her eyes kept darting around the room. Twilight saw all of this and knew that something must have been wrong.
“Pinkie, is something the matter? Did you have another one of your Pinkie Sense things?” Twilight asked. She still didn’t really understand the whole concept of that, but decided that it was better not to get too involved.
“Y-Yes I had one. It was a super-duper-really-bad-one! I think it has something to do with Kyle, but I am not sure of that. All I know is that whatever happened was over by Stalliongrad. Twilight, do you have any idea of what it could be?” Pinkie said with extreme concern.
Twilight looked at Pinkie and smiled softly “If you want I can get the girls together and we can talk about what this could be, and I’ll even send a letter to Celestia to see if she knows anything about it. Is that going to be ok?”
Pinkie’s Hair poofed up a little at this. “Thanks Twi, I just hope nothing bad is happening because that would make me really sad, but I need to be happy!”
Twilight and Pinkie left the tree house and began to round up the others. They were hopefully going to find out if anything was going on over there. Twilight was skeptical and thought that it was just her imagination, but she would find out soon enough.
Come…On…You…Stupid…Chain….BREAK! Imma blow up from anger if you don’t break soon, and I doubt the griffons want to scrape me off of the floor and walls! I was using all of my force to try to snap the chain, but it was starting to look like they were going to hold firm. Then I heard the chorus of hope as the chain snapped in two and I flew off the table and onto the ground. Thank freaking lord!
I got up again and never noticed, but my wrists were bleeding. I still had the wrist links and the chains were handing off of them. I groaned as I felt the dull throb of pain start to come to me. I wish I was still being affected by adrenaline, this hurts!
I walked back over to the table and got my bag and things rounded up. After that I walked quietly over to the door and opened it. Come on lady luck, I need an empty room! I peered out and saw that there were no griffons in the hallway. I walked out and shut the door quietly and then proceeded to start walking down the hallway.
So far, this is going better than expected! I got out, I am physically unharmed, my pride may be broken, but other than that I’m fine. I eventually heard the dreaded sound of a guard saying ‘the creature escaped, we need to find it’ and I started to run. I saw a medium sized griffon run out of the door in front of me and I got stupid. I kept running and he saw me and I jumped and put my palm right on his head and pole-vaulted over him. “HAH, KISS MY ASS!!!” I yelled back to him as I ran. I feel like a badass! But the truth is I’m less than one.
I was running and I could hear that griffon chasing me. He was yelling various insults, some of which I couldn’t understand at me and I smiled. While running I never knew that he took out a small knife and was poising to throw it at me, but I sure felt it when he did. The knife went straight into my upper back and I tried so very very hard not to stop and scream. Sweet mother of lord, this is going to be leaving a huge scar when it heals!
The griffon kept chasing me and I was probably running out of room of hallway to keep going. Turns out I was right, I saw the end of the hallway coming up and I was running out of options. There was a window right there so I decided to do something I was probably going to regret. I kept running and when I made it close enough I dove through the window and outside. “Later losers!” I welled as I flew out. Jumping out of a window like a teenage version of Ezio. Like a boss!
Here is where I was then. I was falling through the air from an apparent 5 story building. Well this sucks. I was falling right towards a smaller building with a thatched roof. I looked back at the window really quick and flipped off the griffon that was watching me fall “HAH, YOU’RE GAYYYYY!!!” I hit the roof and it cushioned my fall somewhat and I regretted saying that because I fell through it and landed on a wood floor. Note to self: Never do anything that requires leaving town for Vinyl again! It will lead to pain, pain, and endless amounts of PAIN!
I laid there and I though of one last thing that made me scream insults at myself in anger from my stupidity. I could have fucking flew away! ARGH, this is going to be so much of a pain in the booty now!
A/N: I hope you are finding this to be full of adventure? This is so far a very fun arc to write and I am having a blast! I know I am making the cliffhangers unbearable, but stick with me; it will be worth the entertainment. I will possibly only be having this update today, but I may do another. Things came up and I might not have enough time to do another, so if I can I’ll have another out by tonight!
