State Of Mind
Chapter 2: Mind State - Slight panic, but steady!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterMy wailing was really starting to get O.T.T, but feck you! Here I was tied to a chair with several horse things surrounding me. What the fuck was I supposed to do, beg? Yup you guessed it that's exactly what I did!
“Please don't hurt me! Look I'll do anything! I-I'll...Brush your manes! You like that stuff right!? Or better yet I'll just leave and no-one has to know about this! For god sake! Just don't tear my heart out!” Really at this time, my manliness had fucked off.
“Hold on! We ain't going to kill ya!” The blond one says.
“Yeah! What made you think that?” The purple one from before adds.
“Really?” I deadpan, the emotions of before just stopping for one brief second. “You tied me to a fucking chair and removed most of my clothes! What the fuck am I supposed to think!” Yep there goes my mind again.
“We thought you were going to attack us!” The purple horse retorts.
“Attack you! How can I attack you when i'm lying fecking unconscious!” I shout.
The purple horse just looks to the floor, almost like she was sad. I shook my head, what am I thinking? I'm the prisoner here and i'm starting to feel sorry for them! Hell no!
“I want you to let me go! Just...Just...” I sigh closing my eye's before I continue. “...I won't mention this to anybody, please i'm asking you. Untie me.”
The purple horse looks up to me, however it's the blonde one that replies.
“We can't let ya go! Not until the princesses git here, right Twi?”
“Yes, I told them about you when you were...Sleeping.”
At this new turn of events I felt my sanity slipping again, but this time I was ready for it!
“Fine, when these princesses get here maybe they can explain why it's prudent to tie up a guest!” I say grinning.
Why was I grinning you ask, I don't know maybe I was in the state of 'fuck it', standing in the area of down town known as 'I don't give a shit'. But the prospect of meeting princesses didn't really calm me down.
“Can I at least get my clothes back, meeting royalty in my underwear doesn't really seem to be proper in my eye's”
“Um, that might be a problem!” The purple horse replies.
“And why is that?” I ask.
“I kind of..Um..Destroyed them!” She states trying to smile but failing.
Two words came into my head, two words that spelled the exact predicament I was in. Two words to sum up my state of mind.
“Well, shit!”
***** ******* ****
“Sister,” The large blue figure looks across to the white silhouette flying beside her. “Do you think this is related?”
“I don't know Luna, perhaps; but I would agree this is too convenient to be a coincidence!” The white silhouette replies.
“How would you like to proceed?” Luna asks.
“We take it slow, if it proves to be hostile then we must act!”
“And if not?”
“Then we do what we always do! Give it a chance to be what it wants to be!”
***** ******* ****
I sat still tied to the chair for almost another hour, most of the horse things had left but the blond one remained; what for I couldn't tell.
“So...” I start, looking around. “...What's your name?”
The blond horse stares at me, quite frankly it was starting to creep the hell out of me.
“Why do you want ta know?” She asks.
“Well, it would be better; unless I'm not going to be around much longer to warrant knowing it?” I reply.
“It's Applejack.”
“Don't hold it against me if I don't shake your leg er hoof, as you can see i'm not in a position to do anything.” I let out a small laugh.
“You're tak'n this real well, being tied up and all.” Applejack says.
“You could say i'm still angry but what can I do? My life, my very existence is in your hooves. And now I have princesses coming to meet me, I should feel honoured but I just feel scared.” I answer.
Applejack seems to look at me with an expression of sympathy, but she just stands up and walks out.
***** ******* ****
Exiting the room Applejack sees the others girls sitting by the large round table near the middle of the library. She hears them talking about the creature next door, and most of it was bad since it was coming from Rainbow Dash.
“Come on Twilight, We should just throw him in the Everfree Forest! He would be better off out there!”
“How can you say that Dash? He an intelligent being, I would never condone sending anypony out there! No matter what they look like!” Twilight replies.
“Yes Darling, you have to realise that the princesses are coming so what befalls him is entirely their decision.” Rarity adds in.
“What do you guys think?” Twilight ask the others.
“Um..I'm...not so sure, he doesn't seem bad!” Fluttershy states.
“I think he's funny looking!” Pinkie replies with her trademark smile.
The others now notice Applejack standing outside the room, but she wasn't looking at them; just straight down.
“Applejack, What's wrong?” Twilight asks her.
“Ah don't feel right about this!” She answers.
“What do you mean?” Rarity asks taking a seat in front of her.
“He's scared!” Applejack states.
“Scared!” The others all say.
“Yup, pretty much told me himself! He said his life and existence is hinging on us and the princesses.”
“Oh my!” Rarity gasps.
“I guess I really didn't think about this did I?” Twilight says moving to lie down.
Twilights sombre mood was short lived however as a knock was heard coming from the library door. Twilight walks over and opens the door to see Celestia and Luna standing on the other side.
***** ******* ****
I could hear voices talking about me after Applejack left, though I couldn't hear the words like last time. I could tell who was speaking, and Applejack seemed to be a prominent member of said conversation. However the conversation did die down after I heard a knock probably from the main door of the building but couldn't be sure.
“So? You are the creature hmm?”
I shit my pants, not really but metaphorically. The voice seemed to come from everywhere at once.
“Who's there?” I shakeably call out.
“I am one who has come to judge you, on your fitness to remain here in Equestria!”
I was about to answer with another question when, a figure loomed from the shadows of the room. How that was possible considering the windows were wide open, and more over I never even noticed that shadow spot before. The creature which I saw was much larger than Applejack and her friends, started to approach me. Before long it was standing almost on me.
“W-What are you?” I ask, Clearly my courage had fucked off too. Great it seemed every time I needed a said portion of my mental state it would fuck off; yay for me!
“My name is Luna, I am Equestrias princess of the night!” She replies, how did I know it was a she, because it had a female voice duh! An albeit sexy female voice but it still scared the shit out of me.
“J-John, your majesty...N-Nice to meet you!” I reply trying to sit back as far as I could.
“You are scared? Why?” Luna asks me. Stupid fucking question, but the voice!
“Well, because you are very large and came out of a shadow that wasn't there 5 minutes ago!”
Then she did something that really made me silently scream, she leant down and blew into my ear.
Needless to say I jumped almost right out of the chair if the bindings hadn't been there. The princess just laughed as the door flew open revealing another large figure this time all white and shiny.
“Sister!” The large white one calls out. “You used the shadow walk on him didn't you?”
The one called Luna just laughed while lying on the ground clearly unable to hold back her tears.
“I couldn't help it! His reaction was priceless!” She replies rolling on the floor.
“Sorry about this, my sister tends to get carried away.” The white one says to me.
“N-No problem!” I stammer.
“My name is Princess Celestia and you have met my sister Princess Luna.” She gestures to the blue horse now slowly getting up.
“Y-Yeah! Sorry I can't get up and bow princess but ropes and all!” I say nodding towards the chair.
“I'm sorry about that but my student did have a reason for it, I hope you understand?” Celestia says.
“Of course! I mean crashing ass first through her window wasn't exactly graceful.”
“Well, you know why we are here!” Luna now asks finally getting her laughing under control.
“Yes, to see if I warrant getting chopped into little pieces.” I reply.
“Chopped to pieces!” The princesses both say together.
“I think you maybe confused,” Luna says.
“No, i'm scared. Scared out of my mind at the prospect of being killed by something that I have no control over! And because of these bindings I can't even fight back!” My face becoming angry.
“I see, so you fear for your life. Even though you have no evidence that your life is on the line?” Celestia asks me stepping closer.
Her presence made me tense, but I didn't feel like she had bad intentions. How ever thoughts were crossing my mind every few seconds. Why have they not asked where I came from? Why have they not asked if I'll be a threat? Why did they come so quickly? I really can't be much of a mystery to them, could I?
“Well, I'm waiting for an answer.”
Celestias voice broke me out of my panic attack.
“*Sigh* Look i'm not here to cause trouble, i'm not going to hurt any of your horse friends. I just want to know how I got here OK?” I state looking at them both.
Celestia turns to Luna and nods getting Luna to head back to the door and exit.
“And the correct term is ponies.” Celestia says.
“What?”
“They are ponies not horses, but in future they do have names. I suggest you ask them.” Celestia replies, turning towards the door. “You will get our response on your situation in one week, in the mean time I would take time to get to know ponies around here. I'm sure Twilight and her friends will help you.” Celestia approaches the door and a strange yellow aura appears around it. “Oh! one more thing...” She turns back, this is when I notice the long horn on her head glowing the same colour as the door. “...Welcome to Equestria!”
When Celestia opened the door and left I was still sitting there dumbfounded at what I saw. I mean her horn was glowing and the door opened, what the hell was that? magic? I really wanted to message my temples until I saw that my bindings were still holding me down.
***** ******* ****
“Princess! Is he alright?” Twilight asks.
Twilight and her friends had waited patiently in the other room.
“John has no evil intentions that I could tell.” Celestia answers.
“John?” Rarity questions.
“Yes, that is his name. You tell me none of you asked when he woke up?” Luna adds in raising an eyebrow.
All the six friends hoof at the ground. Spike mean while through all of this had somehow snuck into the room where I was held.
**** ******* *****
I was sat looking down at the floor with my eye's closed, I wasn't sad far from it; I was just thinking. That was until I felt something poke my leg, I look up to see the Purple lizard thing standing on a box. Where the fuck did he get that? In a matter of fact how the hell did he get in without using the door.
“So...It seems the princesses gave you a pass then?” The lizard asks me.
“It seems,” I reply. Strangely I wasn't freaking out that he could talk, guess my brain was all out of freak for the moment.
“Well if they say you're good then you must be, My name is spike by the way.” The lizard holds out a claw.
“Um Spike.” I wave my hands behind me.
“Oh yeah right! I guess you don't need to be tied up now!” Spike goes around to untie the ropes.
“Spike maybe that is not such a good idea!” I state.
“Why not?” He asks beside me.
“Well the fact that um..Twilight was it? Might not like it!”
“So? If the princesses said your good then it should be fine!” Spike retorts.
I feel the bindings come away as I stand up. Looking behind me I see Spike raising his head to look me over.
“Wow, you're tall!” Spike says.
“Yeah about six feet last time I checked,” I reply rubbing my wrists. “Anyway thanks Spike.”
“No problem!”
As Spike finishes his reply I noticed the door has opened and six ponies now stand, staring at me.
“Um, hi?” My two words had not ended for more than three seconds before some sort of ray of light hits me and I black out. Though my brain did manage to get one sentence formed just not by mouth.
“OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!”
