Chapter Two: New Friends, new surroundings.
I ran as fast as I could. I knew it wouldn't be long before Max Drakas would catch me. I was a fast runner, but Max was faster. If he caught me, he would do a lot worse than just bruise my arm, he would probably break it. Suddenly, the woods became a lot darker, but I didn't stop. Max would be right on my tail. I took the gamble to look back, and I saw Max and his friends with crowbars! "Where did they get them from?" I said, now truly afraid. I just kept running. Max was the schools best runner, but I've still managed to keep away from him, I took another glance back, he was still there, but he was far away. I turned to look back where I was going and, I tripped and face planted. I tripped over a root that was growing out of the ground. I picked myself up and looked around. Off to my right I saw a house/tree hybrid thing.
My mind went blank and I just dashed for the house: I decided to call it; I knocked on the door frantically, trying to get in. I heard Max's voice once again, yelling and cursing it became louder. I knocked again, hoping to get whoever was behind the door to open it. "Coming" the feminine voice came from behind the door, it sounded quiet and muffled. Then the worst possible thing happened, Max found me. "Hahaha! Got you now, nowhere to run!" Max said as he pulled his arm back, ready to throw his weapon. "This is gonna hurt, Jack" Max said cruelly. He let fly with the crowbar. It spun in the air and I ducked and curled up into a ball. Just as the crowbar was about to pass over my head, the door opened to a quiet "Hello?" The crowbar hit the female right in the forehead as she was knocked back into her house. I stoop up straight in shock and peered inside her house. I saw her crumpled state and I got a better look at her. Her forehead was bleeding quite badly and she reminded me of someone… or somepony! It was Fluttershy, my favourite character. Rage filled me and I turned to look at Max Drakas with a look of absolute hate and malice. Max looked unsettled for a moment, and quickly hid it behind his usual ugly sneer. "Hahaha! I hit your favourite slut of a pony!" His friends started laughing. I have never been angrier in my whole entire life. "That's it! I'm not taking shit from you anymore!" I yelled and charged. His friends passed him their crowbars to defend himself. "I don't care how much they hurt me, if I land one hit that will hurt him, I'll be happy" I said under my breath. But something happened, I felt, confident, strong, and I felt like he was the weakest enemy I have ever had. He wouldn't move, I thought he would move and then hit, but he stood his ground, but that didn't make me any less confident, he hurt Fluttershy, and he was gonna pay. When I reached him, he swung his crowbar, which I dodged somehow, and sent him spiralling upwards with a punch to the stomach. He was screaming all the way up, and then got stuck in a tree. Max was winded, and shocked. His friends scrambled away to safe distance. I looked at my hand and gasped. It had a sapphire blue aura around it which was already fading. When it faded I felt like my normal self again. Then I remembered "Oh Gods, Fluttershy!" I ran back to the house and I examined her properly. She had a deep cut on her forehead. Her mane was slightly stained red from blood. "I have to get her onto a flat surface. Not against the wall" I said frantically. I carried her up the stairs. She was surprisingly light for a pony. I set her gently on the bed and went to find something that could help poor Fluttershy. "Wait, I'm in Fluttershy's house, after I ran away from Max, into the local forest and now I'm here?" I was confused. I couldn't find anything useful, the pills I saw were useless, and I had no idea what they did, so I left them. I went back to Fluttershy's bedside and felt her temperature. It was hot and I got some blood on my hand, by accident of course. But I just left it there and I got a tingling in my hand, my jaw dropped open as I saw little green wisps flow out of my hand and onto Fluttershy's wound. The blood started to dissipate and the wound was slowly closing, since it was a deep cut, it was a while before Fluttershy's wound had fully healed. As soon as I pulled my hand away I passed out.
I woke up in a bed, still tired and my head hurt. I was in the same bed Fluttershy was in, but she wasn't anywhere I could see. I tried to get out of bed. My legs wouldn't work and I fell to the floor and knocked over the bedside table which held on top a glass of water. It made a smashing sound as it broke. (Ya Don't Say?: D) I groaned as Fluttershy appeared at the top of the stairs. "H-hello? Are you alright?" she asked, obviously still afraid of me. "No, I'm not. I can't move at all, I shouldn't have tried. I'm sorry Fl…" I stopped myself. I didn't want her to know that I knew her name, I took the safer approach. "What's your name?" I asked her. "Flu… Fluttershy, and yours?" Fluttershy asked. "My name is Jack, now can you help me up please?" I asked, still unable to get up on the bed. "Okay" she replied. She helped me get up on the bed and covered me in blankets. She began to walk away. "Wait, Fluttershy, I'm sorry that you got injured because of me, all of it is my fault, please forgive me." I asked pleadingly. She turned around and came back to my side. "I forgive you, after all, you saved me from those nasty creatures, but you're not like them. Your, different" She said. "Th-thank you, Fluttershy" I said with graciousness. "You need to get some sleep, would you like to hear a lullaby?" She asked quietly. "Yes, that would be nice, but isn't this your bed?" I asked. "Yes, it is, why do you ask?" She questioned. "No, I can't be in your bed, you need to sleep too!" I explained and rose to get out of her bed. She placed a hoof on my chest and I stopped. "No, you need your rest, besides I'll be alright. Now, is there anything else you want to say before I begin?" she asked. "Well, you know that injury you had when the object hit you?" I asked. "Yes, but it's gone now, I thought it was a dream until I saw you unconscious beside my bed" she answered obviously confused. So I gave her the only answer I had "well, I was checking your temperature, and I uh. Left my hand there to examine for any rise or fall, then for some reason my hand was tingling and I green wisps began to come from my hand and go onto your wound, and somehow, it was healing your wound and clearing the blood, and when I pulled my hand away, I was so tired I just collapsed" I said. "is that it?" Fluttershy asked me, she stared at me with those big eyes, they were quite hypnotising. "Yeah, just one, thanks for not kicking me out" I said. She giggled. "its quite alright" she cleared her throat and started to sing…
Fluttershy's P.O.V
"Hush now, quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed. Hush now, quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed." It wasn't long before Jack went to sleep. However when I knew Jack was sound asleep she didn't leave, I just stared at him, wondering why I let this stranger into my house. He wasn't even a pony! He was, not of this world. (A/N All Flashbacks will be in italic form, as all Author notes are in bold!)
I remembered that other creature throwing that curved heavy thing. I rubbed my head, still hurting, but not much. Then I remembered what Jack did. The way he looked when saw me injured; his face was of unbearable rage. Then he looked back at his pursuers and yelled that they he wasn't going to take any more… 'Shit?' did he say? I don't sound nice but then he ran at them. I got a look at him when he was running after his assailants. He had two more of those things he threw at me. I wanted to scream at him to stop, but he wouldn't hear me, and I didn't even have the strength to. As I was falling unconscious, I caught a glimpse of his hand and I saw that it was glowing blue. Maybe my I was imagining it; I didn't have much time to think about it as I slipped into unconsciousness.
When I awoke I was in my own bed. How did I get here? Did Jack carry me? I moved my hoof towards my head and felt my injury. Where was it, was it all a dream? Then I looked over the side of my bed and saw my unconscious saviour. I moved out of my bed and placed Jack in it gingerly. I felt his head with my hoof, it was hot. How he got sick, I didn't know. "Now just stay here, I'm going to make you all better" I said and trotted off down the stairs to find what was necessary to make Jack better. "Hmm… I might need some herbs from my garden"
Ten minutes later I arrived back at my cottage with the necessary ingredients for a warm home-made soup. As I got the stove on, the ingredients chopped and the water boiling. I heard a smash and came rushing up the stairs to check on Jack. I hid behind the cupboard and called out: "H-hello? Are you alright?" I asked, even though he saved me, I didn't trust him. "No, I'm not, I can't move at all, and I shouldn't even have tried, I'm sorry Flu…" Jack stopped himself abruptly. Was he going to say my name? How could he have known? "What's your name?" Jack asked me. "Flu-Fluttershy" I answered. He saved me, he deserved that much.
A/N Well, that's it for now lads! I just hope this doesn't turn out to be boring for anyone; besides, this was my favourite part to write. Especially Fluttershy's lullaby, that was awesome! I decided to do some proof-reading, editing and adding random junk in so it's not such a Bitch to read, hah! Anyway, if you liked Max Drakas because he swore, too bad, faun he's not coming back for a long time: Spoiler? Possibly! Well… Bye!
