Lost But Happy
Chapter 12: midnight encounter
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDave had almost thrown-up from his sudden memory. His eyes had watered up as well witch made it hard to find out where he was going. “I never wanted to remember again, those meds made me forget... I never wanted to remember again...” He repeated himself the tears starting to fall. “How could i have been so heartless? Just for the sake of success i would kill test subjects? I am just a monster...” He kept mumbling to himself has he got even more lost. Soon he looked up and looked around the huge forest he had gotten lost in. “Wonderful.” He muttered following the sent of what smelled like soup cooking. He soon found himself at the front door of a hut. He knocked on the door and waited until a zebra opened it. “A unexpected guest. What makes you visit me today?” He looked up. “i thought you may be some sorta alchemist so i was hoping you could help me with something.” She rised a eye-brow at him. “Now what made you think i was a alchemist?” He sniffed. “I could tell someone was brewing because of the smell.” She blinked. “You must be a very smart pony to know something like this. Why would you need my help?” He started explaining EVERYTHING for the first time sines he got here, how he got here, what he was doing before, everything. “Hmm. You have yet to answer my question. Why would you need my help?” He looked down. “I need something to help me forget some evil things i have done.... I just started remembering and i want to stop it there.” The zebra thought about this. “I wont ask you what you did but i will ask you this. why do you want to forget?” He looked back up. “I dont want the dark things i did to cloud my future, i know one day i will remember everything but hopefully thats when i cant go any farther.” She stared at him for a long while until she let him in. “My name is Zecora. What is yours?” He walked in the hut and looked around. “My name is Dave. Nice to meet you Zecora.” She walked past him, gathering some plants as she walked around the hut. “Now i cant make you forget what you already know but i can stop them from coming. How far back do you want to forget?” He sat down near where she was mixing the herbs. “about two years ago is when i started taking the pills, so from right there please.” She gave him a look. “That is very recent. To think you were someone who dident have any friends and dident care for anyponys health.” He lowered his ears. “Not helping.” She kept mixing the herbs. “Sorry.” She pored the powder into a small bowl and started stirring. “This should keep you from remembering until you yourself want to remember.” She pushed the bowl over to him. He picked it up with his magic and drank the hole thing. He dropped the bowl and backed up and bumped into a table holding his hoof to his head. “T-that hurt more then i thought it would...” he shook his head then looked at Zecora. “Thank’s. Let me know if i can do anything to repay you.” She nodded. “I think you should get going. Your friends may be worried about you” he nodded and walked out the door thanking her again before walking into the forest. He knew witch way to go but the hiding from monsters made it take longer then it should have. He soon stepped out of the forest by a small house with the sent of animals strong. “That must be fluttershy’s house” he guessed and kept walking not wanting to disturb her at a late hour. He saw something moving up in the dark sky. “Hello?” he called. It stopped and a voice could be heard but not understood. “Hello?” He started walking towards it. ‘I thought when you see and hear strange noises in the night you DONT investigate them...’ he grumbled in his mind. He thought he heard a little yelp as it dove to the ground. He sped up his horn glowing, the possibility of it being a threat high. He soon came up to a cowering pony in a very hard to see purple robe. “What in the world?” he poked it with his hoof and it yelped. “L-leave me alone!” It shouted at him. It sounded like a female. “Why? you could be hurt.” Her shivering slowed down a little. “I-im fine just go away.” he sat down and waited. Soon she stopped shivering all together and sat up faced away from Dave. “Good now we can get back to flying lessons.” This confused Dave, he thought the only one with wings and a horn was the princess. He poked her shoulder witch was the funnest thing he had ever done in his life. She zipped around with wide green eyes. “Ya i never left.” He laughed. She looked like she was about to faint. “Oh calm down im not going to eat you.” She backed up a bit. “I-i thought i told you to leave me alone.” He nodded. “Ya you did. But not everyone listens to royalty.” He took a wild guess in saying that. “S-so you know who i am?” He shook his head. “Nope.” Next Chapter: Meeting Luna (nightmare.)
