Chapter Two: Hunter becomes the hunted.
Torn landed outside the house and knocked. He waited for a few seconds then opened the door and entered. The house was full of animals, but was oddly clean. It looked wild, yet civilized. "Maybe a vet lives here?" He said to himself. He looked out the window to see an amulance-cart pulled by pegasi. "Well, guess they found them." He said outloud. He searched around for a good hiding place. He opened a brown and old looking, undetailed chest in a corner. He climbed in. Luckily, there was no bugs. Torn rested there for awhile, before he heard two female voices outside.
"Are you sure you saw somepony go near your house then disapear?" Voice one said.
A quieter, more timid voice responded. "Yes, I'm certian.. He was tall and black..."
Torn heard the door open, and hoof steps on the glossy wood floor.
"I don't see anypony in here, and nothing looks missing..." Voice one said.
"Well, possibly you could search with magic? If that's alright with you, of course..." Voice two responded.
Voice one replyed by saying, "Well, I guess I can do that..."
Torn swore in his head. "A fucking unicorn, thats just great!"
Voice one said. "Fluttershy, what is in that box?"
Voice two, who I guess is Fluttershy responded. "Nothing Twilight, why?"
Voice one, who is Twilight says, "Because there is a living creature in it."
Torn facehoofed. He kicked the top of the box open and jumped out, holding out his knife. "Stay away from me!" He said.
The pegasus, Fluttershy, was scared to heck. She was out the door and zooming off before he could get a description of her.
Torn turned to the purple unicorn, still holding out his knife.
Twilight backed up. "Hold on there, no need for that, I just want to ask you a few questions..." She said in a shacky voice.
Torn didn't know what to think of that. He didn't know wether lieing was a common thing or not. He decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, and lowered his hoof. He didn't put the knife away, though. "Then speak now, and hurry."
Twilight calmed down slightly as he lowered his hoof. "I have five questions that I want answered... What is your name, where did you come from, where do you live, what are you doing here, and... Why, is your knife bloody?" She asked shakily.
Torn, without hesitation, said, "Torn Scar is my name. I came from Cloudsdale, after flight school I worked in the Rainbow Factory."
Twilight gasped.
"I don't live anywhere. I am hiding here, and my knife is bloody because I was attacked by three pegasi on the way here."
Twilight stuttered. "So those three... You..."
Torn nodded. "Now answer mine. Are you a threat to me, and are you going to turn me in, or do I have to go find another place to hide?"
Twilight said, "I-I'm not a t-threat to yo-u if you w-wont hurt m-me..."
Torn nodded. He couldn't tell if she was lieing or not, but he decided it would be better to believe her. He put the knife in it's scabbard.
"And you said it was out of self defense?" She asked.
He nodded. "They attacked me with the intention of harming me. I could of killed them if I wanted, but I didn't."
She nodded. "Then I wont turn you in, but there is patrols searching for you, and they have your description."
He sighed. "Well, I guess I better be going then."
Twilight looked around. "No, come with me." Her horn glowed and she turned him invisible.
"Holy fucknuts!" He exclaimed.
"Be quiet, and don't use that kind of language around me." Twilight said. She led him out of the house and towards the town.
Torn had taken his knife out again, just incase this was a trap.
Twilight led him towards a large tree, that had a house built into it. When they entered through the door, Twilight took the magic off of him. "Lay low here for awhile, but don't let anyone see you. I have more questions I want to ask you later."
Torn nodded and sat down on the chair, contemplating at what he got himself into.
