A Slender Friend: Chapter 1
It was around 3:00 a.m. and Tundra was sleeping heavily.
Flashback/Dream
He was a homeless child. He had just stolen a few items from a bandit gang's hideout.
Tundra POV
They were gaining on me and I was galloping as fast as I could. Finally they caught me. I was scared out of my mind. I knew I was going to die, so I just excepted my fate. But just as they were about to kill me, a stallion appeared. I couldn't make out his appearance but I could see a faint silhouette of him. He was extremely tall and his tail looked as if it were a bunch of tentacles. He began to approach the bandits and me. The one I assumed was the leader shouted, " Get back! I'll kill the boy if you come any closer!" And just like that, he disappeared. Or so I thought. I heard a gagging sound. I turned around to see what was happening only to find one of the bandits being choked to death. Next, the other one was pulled into the bushes. I heard the sound of a blade cutting through bone, and just like that he was thrown out of the bushes , covered in cuts no one could survive and not to mention a missing leg. I was horrified at the sight of the corps. All I know that happened next was that the leader had his neck twisted in a complete 180 degrees. At the sight of the dead bodies I fainted.
End Flashback/Dream
Tundra POV
I was awaken by a knock at the door. My eyes were still adjusting to the morning light. Personally, I'm a night kind of pony . As I walked down the stairs my sight was becoming more clear. My living room was a basic one. Two sofas, a coffee table, a bookshelf, and a bunch of other things I'd rather not sort through. I looked in the mirror on the wall. I was a unicorn with dark blue fur, ice blue mane and tail, and what really made me stand out was my crimson red eyes. My cutie mark was a snowflake. I headed over to the door thinking PLEASE DON'T BE PINKIE PIE! I CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER PARTY! As I opened the door I was so relieved to see my good friend Zecora. " OH THNK CELESTIA!" I yelled. She replied, " Why do you thank the princess?" (A/N I can't rhyme every time. CRAP!) I said in my usual calm voice, " Pinkie just keeps throwing parties." As soon as I said that, said pink pony popped up behind me and said, " You called!?" I was scared half to death. The girls then burst with laughter. I hate it when she does that! What's happening to me? I was taught to show no fear, no emotion. That was his first rule. I was pulled from my thoughts by pink mare asking Zecora and I if we wanted to grab a bite at Sugar Cube Corner. I said, " Funny, we were actually about head over there." She only replied with, " Okay! I'll be waiting!" I said, " Knowing her, she's already there." Zecora let out a small giggle. We headed to the bakery. When we got there we were greeted by a bunch of ponies shouting, "SURPRISE!" These ponies are going to be the death of me some day. Well it is a surprise party. I thought. So we partied, me and pinkie had a cupcake eating contest and she won of course, and I also had a couple of drinks. After that, I passed out. I woke up to see the bakery empty. Every pony must have went home. So I decided to visit an old friend, a slender friend.
