Chapter 1: What is this place?
I woke up slowly and the first thing I saw was the sun, it hurt my eyes, and I lay on something soft and yet uncomfortable, I turned my head and after a moment I noticed that I was lying on the grass, I started to rise, my head felt unimaginably awkward my vision was terribly blurred. When I was standing on my feet, my eyes improved slightly, which made me see reasonably well.
I looked around, I could hear birds singing everywhere, the wind was blowing lightly, growing grass, apple trees were growing around me, I was full of them, so I figured I was in some orchard, then looked at my hands and body, this view frightened me, I was all in my blood on my legs, arms, torso and abdomen there were numerous bruises, claw marks and jaws from which blood flowed all the time, when I realized that I felt a terrible pain. After a while I saw a village in the distance, so I decided to go there looking for help. I made about five paces after six o'clock I was about to fall to the ground, but I leaned against one of the apple trees, breathed a moment trying to shake myself, and endure the pain I felt all over my body, after a while I moved again, this time a slightly less wobbly step.
I walked so well 5 minutes, I was very close to the town and I could see how it looks, the houses were rather built in medieval style, each was probably built of wood and stone and the roofs were made of straw, I turned my eyes to the right and saw a huge mountain on which there was a mountain fortress, I did not see it exactly but more like a palace than some strongholds, after a while I turned my gaze back to the town, only now I noticed that it was separated by a river that crossed my path, fortunately there was a bridge over which I could problem to pass.
Slowly I walked into a small town, what I saw really surprised me, instead of people the city was full of ponies, seriously! they were full of them, but their behavior more resembled people dealing with their everyday affairs, and their appearance also surprised me, each of them had a different color, but the most intriguing was that some had wings, horns, and some were normal did not have a corner nor wings, I also noticed the tattoos that were on the right side, everyone was different, I did not know why they had them, why? and what do they symbolize?
I took a few shaky steps forward, I thought about everything, but I did not have any answers, and more and more questions.
The scream that I heard right behind me wrenched me out of my reverie.
"AAAAAAAGH!, MONSTER!, MONSTER!"
I turned away immediately, and saw one of those ponies, it was a small filly, her coat was yellow, her mane was red and she wore a ribbon on her head. She stared at me with my big eyes which I saw fear.
After a while more began to come, they surrounded me, I felt their eyes on them, I looked around, in their eyes I saw anger, sadness, curiosity.
"What the hell is that ?!" - One of them asked
"You do not see? this is monster!" - She screamed, seems like a mare
"Get out of here! One of them screamed," - then threw a stone at me
I panicked and started to run, pushed through the crowd, then I got to the market, then there was a big commotion, everyone screamed, ran, chased me and threw stones, shouting - "It's running!, Kill it!".
I ran away for about 5 minutes, every now and then grabbing stones and rotten fruit, after a while I got something in the head so badly that I fell on my chest with a huge bang, moaned tears from my eyes, I felt terrible pain in the back of my head and on my ribs, in my head only heard the dull noise and the angry voice of the crowd, but despite such a strong impact I did not lose consciousness.
"Stop it! leave him alone!" - I heard a loud scream
Then I started to slowly rise, but in vain, I fell down again, looked behind me and saw one of those ponies, her fur was light blue, her eyes were dark pink, and her mane was rainbow-colored, she stared at me, after a moment, she slowly approached me.
"Leave me be! Stay away!" - I screamed, raising myself immediately
She only looked at me with surprise, then I started to run again, I was terrified, I thought that he wanted to hurt me, my heart was pounding in my chest as if I was about to jump out of it, but despite the tiredness I ran ahead.
All the time I ran ahead, I wanted to escape from this weird place, running, I turned around, the same mare with a rainbow mole chased me, I saw her flying with me at a great speed, which I accelerated, then I accidentally ran into one of those ponies , by knocking out his books, I fell down again but this time I immediately got up and started running again. In the end I managed to escape from this town, running into a meadow behind which there was a small hut and forest, I did not stop for a moment, this rainbow mare was following me all the time and I stared and ran straight to this small hut.
I was about 10 yards away, then I saw another pony, she also had wings, but the color was different, her coat was pale yellow, the mane was pale pink and her eyes were cyan. I saw her, and she saw me, ran immediately, turned left, ran for a moment, when I suddenly stumbled, falling on the grass, I wanted to get up but I was so tired that I could not even stand up. Then tears began to flow into my eyes, then I began to cry, I gave up, after a moment I heard someone approaching me, I wanted to move anything.
I lay there, trying to get up, suddenly the steps stopped, and then I heard a voice but ... This one was different, it was so quiet and so delicate that it was more like a whisper.
"Oh, no, are you all right?" - I heard a quiet voice
I opened my eyes, from which tears flowed, I looked at her, it was the same pale yellow mare, but then the rainbow came, both of them looked at me with surprise and concern.
"We must take him to hospital" said the mare of the rainbow mane
I did not know what to do, I lay helpless and wounded, tears continued from my eyes, I cried softly, still desperately trying to get up, my tests proved to be useless, after a while I felt a hoof stroking my hair and this quiet, soothing, gentle voice
"Shhh, don't cry everything will be fine" - I heard that silent voice again
I looked up, and I saw this pale yellow mare patting me fondly, staring at me with his cyan eyes.
"I'm sorry" - I heard after a while, it was the other one, she sat over me - "I did not want to hurt you, I really just stared, I ... I'm so sorry," - she said tears came from her eyes.
After a while, I began to lose consciousness, the only thing I saw were the silhouettes of these mares over me, but then I noticed one more silhouette, it was light purple, but my vision began to smudge more and more, which only saw colored spots, until I finally lost consciousness.
I started to open my eyes, it was dark, but still everything was clearly visible, lifting my hand rubbed the face on which I felt a bandage wrapped around my head around my head, I saw the ceiling, I felt that I was lying on something soft, I saw that I was lying in bed, next to which stands a small table, on which stood a vase with flowers, I discovered my quilt, I was wearing only my shorts, and my chest and the rest of the body was naked, I saw more bandages wrapped around my chest, they covered my wounds through ... Well, for what? I did not know what to think about it after a while. From behind the door I heard footsteps and voices, I immediately covered myself with a quilt and pretended to be asleep.
The door to my room opened, I heard someone approach my bed, and then I heard the conversation.
"So how did this happen?" - A male voice asked
"I do not know, I flew over Ponyville and did stunts, I started to lower the flight to try my new trick, and then I heard some confusion" - answered, high girlish voice
"Alright and what was next?" - He asked again
"I stared and I ran into him, I lost my balance, and then we fell to the ground together" - The mare replied
"Well, what happened later?" - The doctor asked
"I heard a furious crowd running towards us, I do not know why but they wanted to attack him, I told them to stop and then I looked at him ... He slowly began to get up, but he could not, after a moment he looked at me terrified, tears flew from his eyes, he was terrified and all in his blood, and his wounds..." - She did not finish
"It's all right, we know what wounds it was, we've been treating them ourselves ... What later happened? - He asked, again the doctor
"I wanted to go to him and apologize to him, but after a while he started to run away, he came to my friend Fluttershy house but he also he saw her, then he turned back and started to run away, but stumbled over a stone and..." - She did not finish again
"I guess the rest ... but apart from traces of claws, we also found traces of abuse on it" - said the doctor, sadly
"What? Really?" - The mare asked
"Unfortunately ... it looks like he did not have an easy life, we found bruises and scars on his body and he also had some broken ribs" - The doctor replied
Then I felt something hard on my head and again heard the voice of a mare standing next to my bed.
"Poor child, he had to really suffer a lot ... I can not even imagine it" - said the mare, stroking my hair lightly
"I also do not, but let's give him a rest now" - said the doctor, leaving the room
"Hold on to the little one, and ... I'm sorry again," - said the mare, stepping away from my bed
After a while, I heard the door from my room slam shut, I opened my eyes, I was alone in the room, and there were hundreds of questions in my head, how did I get here? Are I still on Earth? And are there other people? So many questions and not a single answer.
Suddenly something strange happened, in the whole room began to grow darker and darker until finally the darkness completely shrouded him, I was confused, I did not know what was going on and then, I saw it, it was the same beast that attacked me in the forest, not far away my house. In the dark I saw her red, glowing eyes, finally began to approach my bed, then I felt pain all over my body, the wounds that caused it started to ache, after a while it was high with my face, I suddenly began to lose consciousness, and something grinned my teeth in a nasty smile, I closed my eyes and in my head I could hear the demonic, almost maniacal laughter of this thing.
To be continued...

Hello, if you managed to persevere, I would very much ask you to share your opinion in the commentary. And when it comes to the story itself, I threw it in a bit before the premiere because I really wanted to write it. Continuation will take place on June 30 because I still have Half Man Half Deathclaw on my head.

Chapter 2: New Friends
I felt weak ... but slowly, I started to open my eyes, I rose to a sitting position, then rubbed my face, in my head I still had the image of something that hit me yesterday. I decided to get out of bed, the world around me swirled to the point that I leaned against a table next to the bed, but after a short while everything returned to normal, I took a few steps and noticed the window, went to him and leaned on the parapet looked outside, It was an unusually beautiful day with a little cloudiness, I saw outside the ponies that dealt with their daily affairs, played, talked to each other, worked, when I looked at them, they really reminded people.
The sound of opening the door suprised me, the pony entered the room, its coat was white on the side, it had a tattoo in the shape of a red cross, its mane was pale pink, its eyes were light blue, and on its head it wore a hat typical of nurses, also was the symbol of the red cross.
She looked at the bed, and then at me standing by the window, immediately ran to me.
"What are you doing?" - she asked - "You should not get up so fast ... do you know how much blood you lost?"
She stood in front of me, staring at me with anger and concern at the same time, and she was about 10 centimeters shorter than me. I did not know what to say, the only words I said
"But I ..." - I did not finish
"No buts! Get back to bed immediately," - she said, leading me to bed
When I was sitting in my bed, her face became agitated and curious at the same time, and then she asked.
"So ... How do you feel, does not something hurt you?" - she asked
"I feel good, only my ribs hurt a bit" - I answered honestly
"Phew, it could have been worse, you were really lucky, your wounds were really hard to heal," - she said, and I just sat there and kept silent - Actually ... what are you?
"So what is this place? ... Where am I?" - I asked uncertainly
"I do not answer the question with a question, but well ... I am sister Redheart, You are in a hospital in Ponyville, in Equestria" - She said with a slight smile on her face - "Now it's your turn"
"Well, Uhmm ... My name is Colin and I'm a human," - I said
"I've never heard of something like that ... Well anyway, that's all, your breakfast will come in a moment, and don't get out of bed," - she said, and left the room
I lay on the bed for 30 minutes, the breakfast brought by my sister Redheart was quite good, actually ... It was the first good meal in a long time, I was lying and I was thinking about it all, Equestria ?, Ponyville ?, what are they all for the twisted names? , they sound as if they were invented by a seven-year-old child with an exuberant fantasy, I did not know what to think about it.
The door to my room opened, I shuddered slightly, three mares came into the room, a moment later another one came into the room, two of them I recognized, there were two mares with wings, one with a rainbow mane and one with a pale yellow fur, the third of them it was a light purple color, she had a horn on her head, her eyes were dark purple, and her mane was navy blue, she was also wearing a small leather bag. They all came to my bed, watching me.
"Hi," - she said, a purple mare pulling out my hoof "- My name is Twilight Sparkle... What's your name?
"I'm Colin, nice to meet you... I guess..." - I said, shaking her hoof uncertainly
"Nice name - she said, then looked at the other two mares" - Meet Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy
Immediately a mare with a rainbow mane came flying over to me.
"Hi, what's up ?, I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pegasus in all Equestria," she said, with pride in her voice
"My name is Colin, we've met already" - I said, to what she was slightly sad
"Yea ... forgive me, I really did not want to hurt you, I would not do it, I just... stared" - she said
"It's fine, I forgive you," - I said, giving her a slight smile
"Can I do something for you to recompense you?" - she asked
"No, you do not have to, it's really all right" - I answered
Then Fluttershy seems to come to my bed.
"Wow, you're cute," - she said, putting my hooves on my bed
"Oh ... Thanks, you too," - I said, blushing slightly. - "You are Fluttershy, yes?
"Umm ... yes" - she answered, timidly - "I have never seen a creature like you before, tell me ... What are you?"
"That's right," said Rainbow Dash
"I am a human" - I replied
"Human? Hmm ... I think I've seen it somewhere," said Twilight, scratching her chin.
"It's quite possible, I ran through your village yesterday," I said, jokingly
"That's true, you came up with me yesterday and you spilled my books," she answered, smiling at me ironically
I remember it, fleeing from a furious crowd, I actually ran into one of the ponies, scattering books, and felt enormous shame.
"I'm sorry ..." - I said with shame, looking down
"Nothing happened, everyone could happen," - she said, chuckling, - "Only ... I saw something similar to you, not only yesterday, when you ran through our village"
"Where?" - Fluttershy asked
"I saw him in some book about mythological creatures, but I do not remember the title" - Twilight answered - "well, but I'll look for her when I get home"
I was sitting on the bed listening to it all, when suddenly I felt something hard on my hand, it was a Fluttershy hoof that stroked my hand gently.
"Is everything alright? If something hurts?" - Fluttershy asked, caringly
"No ... Everything is fine, only the ribs hurt a bit" - I answered, rubbing my chest with my hand
"Oh ... And it hurts you badly?" - She asked carefully, in her quiet and gentle voice
"It's allright ... Believe me, it was worse" - I answered calmly
"Hmm ... You're hard" - said Rainbow Dash
"What? ... No i'm not hard, just I ... *ugh*" - I stopped, I did not want to mention what happened before, besides I did not want to bother anyone, I just wanted to forget about it.
"*giggle*Well, if you say so," - said Rainbow Dash
We sat together, chatting, joking and laughing, I liked the three mares very much, they probably liked me, I talked about aviation with Rainbow Dash and what acrobatics does, I'd love to see it, Fluttershy talked about animals, and Twilight told me about History of Equestria, about who is the Princess Celestia and Princess Luna rulers of this land, what in fact I would like to meet them, maybe they will know how I got here, she also told me about what ponies live in it, among others, land ponies , pegasus, unicorns and alicorns, but I liked Fluttershy the most, her quiet voice was pleasant and soothing for me, but unfortunately the time flew quickly and I had to say goodbye to them, I did not want it ... For the first time I did not feel fear or sadness and instead, but laughter and joy.
"Okay girls, maybe we should leave here, i think Colin is tired," - she said, after a moment Twilight
"Really?... Oh geez - I said, with discouragement" - Will we meet again? - I asked after a moment
"Of course we will visit you tomorrow, in the end you are our friend" - said Twilight, smiling, which I smiled too - "Oh, and I have something for you" - After which the horn on her head shone pink aura and pulled out of bags of several books
Book titles particularly intrigued me.
"Daring Do!" Rainbow Dash shouted
"Daring Do?" - I asked with surprise
"I tell you, you will love it!" - Rainbow said with excitement - This is my favorite book, believe me you will like it too!
"And what is this about?" - I asked
"You'll see it yourself," said Twilight, putting the books on the table next to the bed, "Hold on and get well," said Twilight, embracing me, it was pretty nice
"Thanks, for now" - I said, after which Twilight let go and went out the door
"For now, young" - said Rainbow Dash, pulling the hoof in such a way as if she wanted a high five, put my hand in a fist and hit the hoof of Rainbow
When Rainbow came out of the room, I said goodbye to Fluttershy.
"So... see later, Colin," she said shyly
"Bye Fluttershy, it was nice to meet you," I said with a smile
"Me too, when you leave the hospital, come to me, I will introduce you to my animals," - said Flutteshy, also smiling
"Sure, cool," - I said, and Fluttershy left the room
It started to get dark, I was already lying in my bed, reading the book that Twilight brought to me, let me be honest, I did not expect him to get me so involved.
"Hello, how are you feeling?" - I heard after a while, putting down the book, in the door stood sister Redheart
"I feel good," I said after a moment
"I see that you met Twilight and her friends," she said
"Yes, I liked them, and they probably liked me," I answered, smiling
"I'm happy to hear it, you have to get to know Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie, you'll love it too" - she answered, then left the room, but something reminded her - "Oh, I wanted to tell you that tomorrow you will probably leave, the doctors did research and they think it's okay with you. "
"Sweet" - I said with enthusiasm
"But, be careful, okay?" - Sister Redheart said leaving the room
It started to be late, so I decided to go to bed and I was tired, put away the book I got from Twilight on the table, then turned off the lights and just fell asleep.
Twilight stood at the bookshelf looking for the mythological creatures, finally found what she was looking for, looked through the pages looking for information about the creature called Human.
"Gotcha!" Twilight said, finding the right page
After a while, she began to read, everything was fine but one thing worried her, namely what people were eating and that they had previously killed other animals to obtain the nutrients they needed, but even so, not all people were eating meat, or at least she had it hope.
"Take a pen and parchment, write a letter, quickly!" - Twilight said
"Allright" - said the little dragon, pulling out a pen and parchment
Dear Princess Celestia
Yesterday in Ponyville, my friends and I stumbled upon a creature called Human,
his name is Colin, he is in hospital and he is very wounded, doctors unfortunately also suspect that he could be a victim of abuse,
but I hope that everything will be okay with him and that he will recover quickly,
we do not know where he came from, when I asked him about it, he only mentioned some beast who attacked him
I would love you to meet him, i told him about you and your sister and he said
that he would like to meet you too.
Your loyal student: Twilight Sparkle
"Finished!" - Spike said
"Well, now send it," said Twilight
Spike took a deep breath, then blew a green fire on the letter sending it.
"Done *Yawn*" - Spike said, yawning
"I think you should go to sleep," - said Twilight
"* Yawn * You don't have to persuade me," - Spike said, then lazily put to bed
Twilight read about the humans for a while, then put down the book and also went to bed, bound to think about how Colin was here, she also wondered if people lived in Equestria, but the most mind was about her mysterious monster which Colin attacked, what could it be ?, however, she began to sleep, turned over on her side looking at the moon outside the window, then fell asleep.
End of Chapter 2 ...
Chapter 3: Leaving the hospital
Author's Notes:
Hello, bronies
I threw the next chapter but before you start reading I would like to give you a message
I have accidentally removed the prologue but luckily the document has been saved, the problem is that it is in Polish so I will have to re-translate
And now good reading ;)
Everywhere was dark ... I lay on my bed, trying to sleep, it's a terrible feeling when you try to fall asleep but you can not ... I decided to get out of bed even though my sister Redheart strictly forbade.
I slowly discovered the quilt, flipping it aside, then slipped off the bed and I stood on legs, for a moment I got dizzy but quickly, everything went back to normal, but, wait a second... Something is wrong, although it is I could clearly see my hands, like in the daytime, as well as the bed, after a while I looked around the room, if I could call it that, there was absolutely nothing around me. I took a few steps from the bed, then I already knew... I was not in the hospital anymore.
I walked along, and the darkness in which I wound seemed to have no end, then I heard it... Snarl... immediately turned around, there was this damned monster, he looked at me with his red, glowing eyes, grinning his teeth in a nasty smile, something attacked me when I ran away from home, it still looked the same... A big, winged black lion with a scorpion's tail, reading a book called "Daring Do", I read something about a creature called manticore, what happened next it suited the description perfectly.
It was in front of me, smiling at me, I had enough of it ... What did this thing want from me? And why will not he just leave me alone?
"What do you want from me?!" - I asked furiously, but something still happened and smiled at me - "Get out! And leave me alone!" - I screamed at what the beast began to laugh, in a deep tone - "You hear me?!" - I asked again what the monster began to laugh even louder - "Get out!" - I screamed, more furiously
"Hahahahaha ... Oh, I was really moved" - the monster replied after a moment, sarcastically,
"Get out and leave me alone!" - I screamed
"Because what will you do to me? Will you hit me with stalk as before?" - Asked the beast,
"Get out! You are not real! "- I screamed again
"You are not a challenge for me" - said the monster
A moment later, he approached me sharply, and I jumped backwards.
"Mmmmm... Tasty, beautiful fear" - said the beast, grinning and drooling disgustingly - "I'll drive you crazy and i kill you, I'm your worst nightmare, all you're afraid of"
I trembled in fear, I did not know what to do, then it was the beast who made a roar and then started running towards me, then I regained consciousness and started to run away, I did not even pay attention to which one I run, then I stumbled over something falling on something hard.
I was about to get up when suddenly the monster ran up to me, stood in front of me and crushed me to the ground, my face met his face, then something lifted up high, uttering something of a kind, connecting the human scream and the roar of a lion, he dropped his head violently to bite me, I was helpless... I closed my eyes, covering my hands and started screaming loudly.
"AAAAAAAAAGH! LEAVE ME!" - And then, I woke up - "DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!" - I screamed, and then Redheart's sister,
"What's going on !?" ran into the room immediately . - She asked, surprised
Then I dropped my hands and opened my eyes, in the doorway stood sister Redheart, for her I noticed Twilight and Rainbow Dash. I stared at them, with frightened eyes, studied the room for a moment, making sure that there was no such thing.
Immediately Twilight ran up to me.
"What's happend? Is everything alright?" - She asked, looking at me with concern, after a while Rainbow Dash came to the room - "Hey, I'm here ... what happened?" - Asked, approaching me even more
"I... I s-saw something ..." - I replied, still in shock
"What? ... What did you see?" - she asked
"I-i had a nightmare, I was in a place where everything is d-dark ... And then ..." - I replied, with a trembling voice
"And then what?" - Asked, even more inquisitively
"I saw T-this something... B-beast" - I stammered, then tears began to flow into my eyes - "H-he said he would k-kill me"
"Wait, it's about this beast by Which one did you find here?" - Twilight asked, and I just sat there and I kept silent, and from my eyes were running tears... - "Hey is alright, it's just a bad dream, you are safe, something will not come to you," - said Twilight, then gently embraced me, I returned the feeling, embracing her, and frankly I did not want to let go.
I calmed down a bit, Twilight slowly released me from my grip, then looked me in the eye.
"Evrything is okay?" - Sister Redheart asked, looking at me with concern
"Y-yes..."
"If you want, I will bring you calming drugs, it does not look good," Sister Redheart said
"N-no, you don't have to, it's okay" - I said, wiping my tears
"Okay, but if you need something, call me, okay?" - Sister Redheart said, then left the room
I sat there, head down, but after a moment I calmed down.
"Wow, it was horrible ..., tell me how long you had such nightmares?" - Asked Rainbow
"Actually, I have them since I came here" - I replied
"Tell me when you met ... That?" - Twilight asked
"Then when I ran away from home" - I answered, already a little calmed down
"So, however ..." - said Rainbow,
"What?" - Twilight asked
"Do you remember how I was telling you how together with Fluttershy I brought him here?" - Asked Rainbow, staring at Twilight
"I remember" - Twilight answered
"Fluttershy had to go home, because she was dealing with animals, I stayed in the hospital, I just ... worried about you - said Rainbow, looking at me and then she gave me a warm smile.
"What happened next?" - Twilight asked.
"The doctors said that apart from the wounds inflicted by ... It's something ..." - She paused for a moment - "They found... Old scars... Then they said it was probably evidence of abuse," - Rainbow said, lowering her head down
"What? ... Really?" - Twilight asked in disbelief. - "At the beginning I did not believe it, but after what Colin said, though... His father could not be so..." - She did not finish
"That's true..." - I said, getting out of bed - "I hated my father... It is because of him that I have these scars... He beat me and my mother every day... In the end she could not stand it and..." - I stopped I feel that tears are beginning to fall again
"It's okay... Don't say if you don't want to..." - said Rainbow, coming up to me
I gritted my teeth, trying to stop the tears that came to my eyes, I could not...
"Sit down, you don't look so good" - said Twilight, then sat down on the bed - "Tell me what she looked like the beast?"
"it looked like one big black lion, had red eyes, bat wings and scorpion tail" - I said uneasily
"Hmm... Manticore, " - said Twilight
"I was so scared, he said he would kill me," - I said, and then tears began to flow in my eyes.
"Alright, he will not hurt you, it was just a bad dream," - said Twilight, and then I leaned my head against her and she pressed me lightly to me.
It took some time before I calmed down, all the time I was wondering on the words spoken by this thing *You're not a challenge for me* I was wondering what this fucking thing might be about, why it just would not leave me alone?
I sat in the hospital bed for about 40 minutes, talking to Twilight and Rainbow Dash, about different things, to forget about what just happened, I did not want to remember that.
"And what about Fluttershy, why did not she come?"
"She wanted to come, but... She had a lot of things on her mind" - Twilight answered
"What matters?" - I asked,
"Probably now deals with animals" - said Rainbow Dash - "She could not leave them alone, in the end someone has to feed them all" - said Rainbow taunting
"All of them, how much does she have them?" - I asked
"Too much to count, in total I don't know, how she deals with it" - Rainbow said.
Our conversation was interrupted by sister Redheart entering the room.
"Hello Colin, are you all right?" - She asked
"Yes... It's okay" - I said, calm tone
"Well, I have good news for you,
"Seriously?" - I asked
"Yes, last night as you slept the doctors checked your wounds and it turned out that they are very well healed" - Sister Redheart said
"Something else?" - Asked Rainbow
"In addition, she must remember to change the bandages every three days and most importantly, you should not overwork... Your ribs have not yet grown together," - said sister Redheart - "Well then, take your stuff and you're free... And now, excuse me, I have to take care of other patients "- Sister Redheart said, throwing a warm smile to me and then left the room
"Hmmm... There is only one problem"- Rainbow said
"What's problem?" I asked, then looked at her
"First: you do not have any clothes, secondly: you have nowhere to live" - Rainbow said
"Oh... There is not a hotel here... Or something?" - I asked,
"If you want, you can live with me," said Twilight,
"Are you serious?" - I asked
"Sure, yes, at least until we find you a place to live," said Twilight, what I smiled, and the smile of
Twilight and Rainbow Dash returned , helped me pack, actually... The only things I had at two books from the Daring Do series. After packing things, we went to the doctor after discharge, everything happened very quickly, after a while we left the hospital, immediately in my face the sun shone on me, striking my eyes,
When my eyes got used to the prevailing conditions, I dropped my hand down and Ponyville appeared to my eyes, the town looked really beautiful, it had this charm.
"It's impressive, yeah?" - Asked after a moment Rainbow Dash
I did not say anything, just nodded, after a while we moved before we talked together.
"Do you like it here?" - Asked Twilight
"Yhmm, I did not pay attention to it when I was here for the first time" - I said, looking nervously at the residents looking at me with surprise.
"Do not worry, residents will not do anything to you, you can be sure of that" - said Rainbow
"I don't know... I don't like it" - I said uncertainly
All Ponies, they looked at bandages walking and wrapped around me, some looked at me with confused eyes, others looked at me with sadness, shame and compassion, but there were those who looked at me with anger, one even prepared to throw a rock at me to which I slightly ducked, but fortunately someone stopped him. Rainbow Dash saw my anxiety and nervousness, she looked angrily at the crowd staring at me.
"What are you looking at? Take care of your affairs" - Rainbow said, angrily in her voice
Everyone immediately turned away and returned to what they were doing, although some still looked at me.
"Thanks Rainbow," I said with relief
"Fine, don't worry about them, they will not hurt you, I'll see that," - she said, giving me a nudge
"I wonder why they attacked you?" - Twilight asked, walking next to me,
"I don't know ... maybe they got scared of me, they saw me all in blood and wounds," - I said, looking down to avoid stumbling.
"But they did not have to attack you right away," - she said Twilight, looking angrily at the residents, who after a moment turned around with shame
"No... Really, it's okay, I'm used to it" - I said, in a colorless voice
Twilight and Rainbow Dash stopped momentarily, I did not notice and went a few steps further and then I stopped.
"Wait... What?"
"What?" - I asked
"Colin... You should not say that, you should never have been treated like that, it's not something you can get used to pain," - said Twilight, frowning
"But I..." - I did not finish
"She's right," - said Rainbow. - "You should never have been hurt, to be honest I don't do well when I imagine it," - said Rainbow, coming up to me - "Nobody will hurt you here, you can be sure"
"Okay, let's go, my house is close"- said Twilight
We walked along the streets of Ponyville, the inhabitants looked at me nervously, I felt insecure, when I was walking next to someone I just covered my face. In the end, we got to some big tree that had, doors, windows, and next to it there was a sign on which the book appeared.
"Well, we're at home," said Twilight.
"Wait, you live in a big tree? And in the library?" - I asked
"Yes, why do you ask?" - She Asked
"Nothing... Just, you know... I heard about tree houses, but a house inside in the tree?" - I said
"Well... As you see" - Twilight said opening the door, letting me in and Rainbow Dash inside
The interior of the house, or rather the library, looked interesting, it was carved, as were the shelves on which the books were located, in the middle there was a small table where the horse's head was carved in wood, and the sun was the most important to me it surprised that the books were scattered everywhere.
"*ugh* Spike, you did not put the book back on the shelves as I asked you!" - Twilight called - "Spike? Are you there?" - she asked - "*Sigh* great."
"Who is Spike?" - I asked,
"This is my assistant, he's a dragon, I'm really sorry for this mess, feel at home and I clean up, " - said Twilight, collecting books
"I will help you"- I said
"No, you don't have to, I'm going to be you my guest," she said.
Even though Twilight said she could handle it myself, I helped her, well... Be that as it may, I was her roommate now. Collecting books took us a good half hour, Rainbow Dash also helped, but a moment later she had to go to... If I heard right *Sugarcube Corner* She had an appointment with her friend.
After dealing with the books, Twilight offered me tea, I did not refuse, the more that I was a little tired of collecting books. When Twilight went to make tea, my attention was caught by an owl sitting on a wooden pedestal on a book.
I went to the owl to look at her, and then she probably made a sound.
"Who?" - I heard after a moment
"Wait ... did you say something?" - I asked the owl, it was stupid I know ...
"Who?" - I was not wrong, it was this owl
"But who?" - I asked lightly chuckling
"Who?" - She asked me again.
Honestly, it amused me, I could not resist and began to imitate her.
"Who?" - I asked
"Who?" - Asked Owl,
"Who?" - I asked again
And again and again, we were repeating this word all the time, after a while Twilight entered the room, she could not stand laughing when she saw me with her owl, with which I kept repeating one word *Who?*.
"Hahahahahahaha... Okay, okay, what's going on here?" - Twilight asked, laughing
"Uhmm... She started it" - I said, pointing to the owl sitting on a pedestal,
"Who?" - She asked after a moment
I couldn't help laughing, just like Twilight
"I see that you met Owlicious," - she said, stroking the owl
"Who?" - I asked
"My owl, this is my second assistant" - Twilight said
I approached the owl closer, then began to gently scratch it under the goatee, she hooted happily.
"I like her, though ... I would prefer to call her Doctor Who" - I said with a smile
"Who?" - Asked the owl, what Twilight and me and we burst into loud laughter
"Yes, it definitely suits him" - said Twilight - "So how?, Drink a tea?"
"Yeah" - I said, then sat down together at the table
The corner of the Twilight Horn shone with a pink glow, then a cup of tea came to me, I grabbed and started to drink it, it turned out to be a herbal tea, very relaxed me.
"Mmmm... Good, a little bitter, but good" - I said, putting down my mug
"I'm glad you like it, it's a mix of lemon balm, eucalyptus and wild chamomile" - said Twilight, then put a cup to her mouth, taking a sip " - Zecora he knows what is good
"Who is Zecora?" - I asked from Curiosity
"This is my friend, she lives in the Everfree Forest" - She said, also putting the cup down on the table
"This is the forest behind the Fluttershy house, yes?" - I asked
"Exactly this" - She said
"Will we visit her someday?" - I asked
"Oh, don't count on it, Everfree Forest is a dangerous place, swarming with monsters, believe me you do not want to go there" - She said
"I understand" - I said, grabbing a cup
Time passed us very quickly, on calls, I asked Twilight what they mean the tattoos on their right, she said it's the cutie marks that every pony gets when he finds out his talent, it sounded incredible, but after what I saw, nothing will surprise me. We sat and talked, after a while the door to the house opened and I saw in them, you will not believe me... A dragon, a real living dragon! His scales had a purple color, and the spikes on its back were green, like his eyes, and I thought that nothing would surprise me anymore.
"Oh, hello Spike," - said Twilight
Young dragon immediately looked at me, I saw surprise on his face, exactly the same I saw in the ponies when I arrived here.
"Twilight... What it this?" - He said pointing to me,
"Is not IT, this is Colin, is our guest, and as usual, you forgot to sort the book when I asked you," Twilight said angrily,
"I'm sorry... I... I forgot" - Spike said
"You forgot And not the first time, next time try not to forget, okay? " - said Twilight
"Okay" - said Spike, then he turned to me - "Hello I'm Spike, and you're Colin, right?"
"Yes, nice to meet you" - I said
All in all, Spike seemed allright, I even liked him.
"Actually ... What are you doing here? I have never seen you here" - he said, looking at me - "I could even swear I have never seen something like you before"
"Colin is a human, we do not know where it came from he took and there is nowhere to go, so he will live with us until we find him a home" - said Twilight.
"I remembered this, we wrote about him to the Princess Celestia yesterday? " - Spike asked
"Exactly, yes, Has the princess already answered?" - Twilight asked
"Strangely, no answer" - Spike replied
"It's strange, she usually answered ," - said Twilight.
"Maybe he does not know what to think about it" - said Spike
"Hmm... Maybe..." - said Twilight.
It began to dim slowly, I finished my tea, then took a cup to the kitchen, looked out the window, it was completely dark outside. At one point I saw something, in the dark I saw a pair of red eyes, suddenly I saw something start to smile disgustingly, I knew it was a monster from my nightmares.
I stared at it, I was terrified, I was afraid to move in any way, and I was even afraid to let it out.
"Hey, something is happened?" - Twilight asked, coming up to me, and I immediately looked away at her.
"There was something there," - I said, in a trembling voice
"What" Twilight asked, then looked out the window
"T-this m-monster from my nightmares, he stood there, stared at me..." - I did not finish
"I think you should really go to sleep" - said Twilight - "There's nothing there" - said Twilight, actually... Nothing was there, but I knew it was different, it happened there, I saw it with my own eyes!
"But... I really... It happened there... It looked at me" - I said nervously
"You should really go to sleep, you do not look good" - said Twiight - "Go to the shower, but remember to remove the bandages"
"*Sigh* Okay" - I said, stepping away from the window
I went to the bathroom to wash, turned on the tap, then droplets of lukewarm water started to fall on me, but after a while they were warm, it was very pleasant feeling, but also painful, because drops of warm water mixed with soap got into my wounds. When I washed, I dressed in my underwear and shorts, and then put on bandages. The wounds still ached me unimaginably, because they still did not heal completely.
After leaving the bathroom, I went to eat dinner, exactly a vegetable salad and admit that it tasted quite good, after dinner I went upstairs with Twilight, unfortunately I did not have a second bed so I had to sleep on the mattress, on the floor, but it did not bother me, I was very tired so I went to sleep at once.
"Goodnight, Colin, Sweet Dreams," said Twilight
"Goodnight Twi, and thank you" - I said
"You're welcome, now go to sleep" - said Twilight, leaving the room and putting out the light
I lay on my bed, it was not too comfortable but it was better than nothing. My eyelids slowly began to get heavy, and then I began to close my eyes, but a moment before I closed my eyes, I saw something in the corner of the room, it was a figure that was slowly approaching me but I was too tired to do anything.
"Spike, get parchment and pen, we have to send a letter," - said Twilight, to the little dragon,
"Allright" said Spike, pulling out a pen and parchment
Dear Princess Celestia
Today, Colin left the hospital, but he still feels uncertain about seeing other ponies, the more that attacked him a few days ago,
but unfortunately I'm afraid he's worse with him than I thought, we came back from the hospital and everyone started looking at him,
Rainbow Dash immediately she scolded them, and rightly so. After a while, Colin calmed down and we assured him that they would not hurt him, in the end
they should not attack him immediately, but then he said a terrible thing, namely he was used to it,
accustomed to being harmed, but not He is the worst, he said that he saw again this beast that probably went him
she attacked, said he looked like a manticore, and said he saw her tonight outside my home window, I do not know what to think about it,
I'm worried about him, I'm going to bring him to Rarity tomorrow to make some clothes for him, and introduce him to the rest of my friends, and I hope that what he saw is not real.
Your loyal student: Twilight Sparkle
"It's done, send it right now?" - Spike asked,
"Of course" said Twilight
Spike, blowing the green fire on the letter, sending it to Canterlot.
"Taken! *Yawn* and now I'm go to sleep, I'm tired - Spike said
"Okay, good night Spike"- said Twilight, going upstairs
Twilight opened the door to the room, cautiously and slowly so as not to wake up Colin, at some point when she was in the room she noticed something very strange, she could swear that one second after opening the door, someone or something stood at Colin.
"Huh? What the?" - she said, then walked over to Colin sleeping on the mattress - "Ehh, I really have to lie down."
She looked at the boy lying on the mattress, then gently stroked his hair with his hooves.
"Sleep well" - she said, and then she climbed onto her bed
She lay there for a moment, thoughts passing through her head did not let us sleep, she asked herself hundreds of questions, or what Colin said about this beast, is it true? Why did he have to suffer so? She did not know what to think about, she looked up for a moment looking at Colin, and again the same... Again, she thought she saw something, but ignored it thinking that it was over fatigue. She looked at the sleeping Colin for the last time, then smiled and slowly fell asleep.
