Love's Hunt
Chapter 2: Day 2
Previous ChapterI wake up to the sun beating down on my face. A cool tingling sensation brushes against my feet. Then the pain hits me. I grimace in the pain, lightly grazing the bloody gash in the back of my head.
"Ooh, fuck..." My voice sounds crusty. I look up the river, nothing is familiar at all. I stand up, popping my knees in the process brush off the dried on dirt. I look up at the sky, shielding my eyes from Celestia's dazzling sun. It's a pretty nice day out, though, it would be better if there weren't six different marefriends itching to get their way with me... I walk down the stream and spot the wrapped up blanket. It's soaking wet, but everything seems to be still in there, except one of the two apples are gone.
"My supplies were scarce already. How could this -" I stop myself from jinxing myself. A rustle is heard near by, and a rabbit dashes through and stops at my feet. It's that all-too-familiar jackass of a bunny.
"Angel..?" The bunny nods "What're you doing way out here?" Angel gives me a 'you already know' look. I look where Angel came from and hear a distant voice.
"A-a-a-ngel!" The distant voice echos through the forest. It sounds like Fluttershy, and if I'm right... I scoop up the bunny at my feet and grab the sopping wet blanket. It weighs a fuck-ton and is going to cause issues. I take off down the river.
"Angel? I just wanted to have some fun with you!" The voice is a lot closer. I skid to a stop and rush underneath a bush. Angel gives me a look of fear. I return that look just the same and then focus on the river. When I'm least expecting it, Fluttershy appears directly in front of the bush. Stone-mode activate. I hold my breath. Fluttershy is sniffing around for Angel, seemingly innocent, but that liquid trail in between her legs says a lot otherwise.
"Angel... You don't have to hide from me. I know you're near!" Her voice becomes stern, and she looks around, and then focuses on the bush I just happened to be in. I hold Angel up and pillow-talk into his ear.
"Just some revenge for being an asshole." Fluttershy sees Angel. "Oh Angel! There you are!" She grabs Angel out of your hands and you duck within the bush as quietly as possible. She runs off towards her place.
"That's a good way to start. Maybe I'll find Big Mac." I follow her at a distance. I look down to see drips. They abruptly stop, and I stop in my tracks. I look around cautiously, then two or three drips land right on my forehead. I reach up, and wipe the slick sticky substance off my head and smell it. It's clear, and smells slightly like flowers. I look up slowly, and see a mare flying above me.
"Oh crap!" I run away and feel a slight tingle in the back of my head, not from the gash, but if I'm right, Fluttershy might just be using the stare on me.
"Don't look back... Don't look back." I continue on, and trip on a branch. I fall to the ground with a grunt, as a new gash on my arm opens up, with a hell of a scrap on my chest. Fluttershy lands next to me with a scared look on her face.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?! You landed real hard!" She looks at the bloody mess on the back of my head, and the fresh new one on my arm. "Oh no! We need to get you to my cottage, you're bleeding everywhere!" She gingerly picks me up, and starts to fly. For not being too strong, she can sure carry a lot when determined. Which brings up a new question. What is she going to do to me when I get better?
About 3 minutes of rushing wind and consolation from Fluttershy, we make it to the cottage. She lands and carries me into the house, setting me down on her bed. I move my arm so I don't get any blood on her bedding. She comes out with a potion and a bunch of bandages.
"Let's get you patched up..." She takes my arm and starts to clean it out. I cringe pathetically and groan a few times. Once she's finished, she wraps my arm up in a bandage and moves onto my head. She does the same work on the gash there too, but the pain blossomed from there. I clench my teeth into the bedding, as a few tears run down my cheeks. Moments later, she finishes and she starts to wrap that area up as well. I look at her, right when she guzzles down the potion. She makes a cute face, and then she sighs.
"Zecora gave me this potion called the 'heat re-presser'. So you don't have to worry about me for another day or two." She kisses me lightly on the forehead. I sit up.
"Do you think the others will be coming here?" I ask her curiously.
"I don't think so. But I do have a hiding place for you if they do." She opens a panel in the floor, and there's a small hide-away. Right as she shows me, a knock is at the door.
"Fluttershy! Are you in there? We need help looking for Anon!" Rainbow's voice shouts through the door.
"Quick! In! Hurry!" She motions for me to get in. I gladly do so, nimbly crawling in. She shuts the door and walks over to her front door. Rainbow Dash, AJ, and Luna are standing there. This is going to be interesting.
