Another Chance at Life
Chapter 65: 65. Didn't Want This
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI woke up and it was dark out and I was getting really sick of this whole ordeal. I got up slowly and winced at the pain. Ok, gotta keep moving, even if it kills me. I feel like Bear Grylls now! ADVENTURE! I continued walking in the direction towards the border and I was almost sure I was getting pretty close.
I was trying to use my power as I walked, but so far it was still no dice, that was until I finally managed to lift a stick I was looking at. “Mother of god it wore off! Yes ho my gosh, I can finally leave this place!” I said happily as I started to float. I am as happy as I will ever be in this hell hole, and that is an improvement in my eyes!
I flew up to the tree tops and saw that I was really close to the border; I could see the trail I was on in the far distance. I was going to fly right to Stalliongrad right now just to finish what I was doing, then go home, but something caught my eye. I wanted to scream at what I saw flying in my direction, but I held it in. Rainbow Dash was flying directly towards my direction, she didn’t see me yet so I wanted to get her out of here, she didn’t need to be here.
I flew right at her, she didn’t notice at first, but when she did, she stopped immediately and her jaw dropped when she looked at me. No, do not say anything Dash, I got into this mess, I don’t need you in it as well…..AND WHO’S WATCHING STRATUS!? “Dash, go back to Ponyville, this border is unsafe to be around as you can already tell” I said to her with a smile at the end. “Dash, I am going to StalliongrACK” I got grabbed around the neck and held there. I give up, next one I kill I will feel no regret for doing so….I might even drop it off a cliff or something! I looked at Dash pleadingly, but she was looking at the thing holding my neck.
Rainbow Dash was looking right at her lover, but the thing choking him was worse than that. She was filled with rage at this “LET HIM GO! Gilda, he wasn’t doing anything wrong and you invaded our province and took him as prisoner, look at what you did to him!” Rainbow Dash seethed.
“Shut it loser, this freak was a target for the Grydon high order since he came here 7 months ago. We listen to them…not your precious princess. And would you look at that? You’re trespassing on Grydon land! I could just kill you right now, or you can get out of here and let me take this abomination to meet his end. What’ll it be Dashie?” Gilda said as she shook Kyle like a ragdoll.
“I am not leaving Kyle just so he can die for doing nothing wrong. I guess you’re going to just have to either take me with you….or try to kill me, but would you really kill me, we used to be best friends?” Rainbow Dash said with a sneer.
“Hah, friends? You hang out with a bunch of losers and a freak that deserves nothing more than to die; I wouldn’t be friends with you again if you were the last thing here!” Gilda said with a laugh.
This has gone on long enough! Uncle Kyle is pissed! I looked around for anything that could make her let me go. Aha, a tree, I could play baseball with her! I looked at a tree that was directly below us and soon it was shaking. Gilda and RD were shooting insults at each other and were not paying attention, so I was good. I ripped the tree out of the ground and started to lift it up; I then focused it on Gilda and the tree shot up towards her.
The tree connected with the griffon and me and my neck was released and I watched as she was thrown to the ground by it. I flew over to Dash and told her to get behind me. I took out my curved blade and held it firm in front of me.
Gilda was on the ground and she was a little shaken up “That little…..he has a blade? No worries, I have the best shot in all of Grydon, I’ll fix that little problem” She said as she picked up a rock and aimed at the curved blade Kyle was holding. She threw it and it soared through the air towards its target.
I was holding the blade and soon it was hit with a good sized rock and it flew out of my hand and fell towards the ground. Shit shit shit! I guess I’m going to have to go all Popeye the Sailor Man on her ass! I didn’t see Gilda anywhere and I was beginning to think I knocked her out, until I heard a struggle going on behind me.
I turned around and saw Gilda holding Rainbow Dash and I completely shut off the regret part of my brain. Oh no she didn’t just touch my girl! Imma slap a griffon now! “Let her go Gilda, I’m the one you want, I’ll go with you, just leave her out of it.”
“No can do, you both are going back with me now. And it’s going to start with this…” She trailed off and let go of Rainbow Dash and flew at me with great speed. She stopped right in front of me and held the back of my head and punched my face with her claw with great power. I hate my life!
I started to fail, and I was going to slip concentration and any moment. I watched as Gilda flew over to RD and repeated the process she did to me. I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t tell her to leave fast enough! ARGH, now we both are going back to the dungeon. Rainbow Dash passed out and Gilda grabbed her as she fell and put her on her back. Then she came over to me and saw that I was still floating there, barely holding onto my consciousness. She punched me again and I blacked out.
I woke up and you guessed it, we were back at the dungeon. I was not tied down to anything except for my ankle, which was wrapped in a chain and tied to the wall. I looked around and saw that Rainbow Dash was in here with me and she was still out cold on the floor on the other side of the room. I guess we are both prisoners now! I walked over to her and knelt down and brushed her mane away from her face.
Rainbow Dash woke up at this and looked up at me. “I knew something happened to you. Pinkie had another one of her senses and it was about something bad happening near Stalliongrad, I knew it probably was you, but I didn’t want to believe it. I wanted to come help you, and I saw the struggle you had over on the trail, I knew it was the griffons” she said as tears started to form in her eyes.
“Don’t blame it on yourself; I was the one who wanted to come out here. I never thought this would happen, but I blame myself for that. I want you to be safe nothing more, and if I can do it once, I can break out of here again” I said with a smile. I am getting pretty good with the whole breaking out of imprisonment thing! I feel like a regular old criminal now!
“You were already in here once? And you got out?” Rainbow Dash said to me as I smiled at her.
“Yep, now I don’t really want you to see what I am going to do next, only look if you absolutely have to ok? I’m going to get this chain off my ankle” I said to her before I kissed her on the lips softly. Still a better love story than Twilight. I never used that reference before….I guess you learn something new every day!
Rainbow Dash nodded and I sat down on the ground and started to concentrate on the iron bracelet that was around my ankle. I started to slide it down the back and I could feel the blood start to ooze out as I slid it down. I clenched my teeth and kept sliding the bracelet down and I was fighting the urge to scream at the skin tearing.
Rainbow Dash didn’t look away and watched as Kyle used his telekinesis to slide the bracelet off his ankle. She saw the crimson liquid pool under his foot and was fighting the urge to cry at how bad he wanted to get them out of here. He is willing to harm himself to the point of agony to free us. Now I know another reason of why I love him so much.
I felt the bracelet slide under the ball of my foot and I let go of my concentration and slid the chain off. I am free again! This time I am going to not get caught….or hit by an arrow that immobilizes my telekinesis! “There we go, now do you have anything that is binding you?” I said to Dash with a smile.
“N-no I don’t, now how do you expect to get out of here?” Rainbow Dash said to me with confusion.
I looked around the room and saw a dim light coming through the ceiling. I then looked around the room and saw a hacksaw lying on a table not too far away next to what looked to be a stretchers rack. I am in a torture chamber; I was going to have that probably happen to me!!! DO NOT EVER WANT!
I ran over despite the pain in my foot and grabbed the saw. I walked back and looked at Rainbow Dash. “Do you see the light coming through the ceiling? That is our way out. This saw here will cut through the bars and we can get out then” I said to her with a grin.
Rainbow Dash just jumped up and kissed me and held me tight. I wanted to enjoy this little moment so I wrestled with her tongue for a moment before she pulled away “I have missed you so much….even if you were only gone for 2 days” she said to me with a smile.
“I know, now let’s fly up there so we can get out of here and go home” I said to her before floating up through the hole in the ceiling and up to the bars that were keeping us from the outside world. Dash flew up behind me and I positioned the saw and started to go at the first bar. This is going to be a pain in the booty I’m sure!
It took about 15 minutes of constant sawing, but I managed to cut the bar off. I then began to work on the other bar. I figured it would take about two bars to let us get out and then we could fit through. I cut through the bar slowly and when I cut the first side I decided to just shorten the process. I bent the other half of the bar up and then started to wiggle my way out through. This is going to work! Griffons, Y U NO MAKE BETTER HOLDING CELLS? I got out and Dash started to come out into the open air.
I looked around as Dash was getting out and saw that we were on the roof of the same building that I was at before Dash got out a moment later and I told her that we should get as far away from here as possible. Then we flew off in the direction of Equestria.
