Don't Cry, Oh Fluttershy
Chapter 6
I awoke hearing voices around me…"Where am I?"I thought to myself. I tried to move, but couldn't. I realized I was locked in chains, and had a bag over my head.
"She's awake."I suddenly heard. The bag was ripped from my head, and my eyes flared and adjusted to the lighting. I saw the men who took me away from Derek, all standing there in front of me. "Wake up."I heard.
"What…do you want with me?"I asked quietly.
"We've only seen your kind on this planet one other time. A small calf who called herself Luna."My eyes widened. "Do you know of whom this is?"One man asked. He had a cigar in his mouth, and looked like he hadn't shaved in weeks.
"Um…Y…Yes, I know Luna."I said. I begun to feel myself tremble in the cold metal seat I was strapped to by ropes. "Why am I tied up? Isn't this a but excessive?"I asked ambling to slip out of the ropes sight grip.
"We have our reasons, that is for us to know, and for you to find out. Your species is rare on this planet, we've only seen two, and history doesn't show any sign of you."
"That's because I'm not from this planet. I'm from Equest…"I realized what I nearly foretold, and clamped my mouth shut.
"What was that? Not from this planet eh?"I said to much…they held me in place, and moved me on to a freezing metal table. They pushed the table, and begun moving me to another room.
"What do yo want with me?"I asked furiously.
"Oh you'll find out…alien."The man with the cigar said in a cold voice. I looked over at the wall, and saw a number of sharp utensils all neatly hung up on the wall. My fear rose, and a felt tears begin to drip from my eyes. The man laughed quietly, and left the room with the rest of the men. From the other side, I could here their conversation through the closed door.
"When is she scheduled for dissecting?"
"We'll have to do X-Rays first to take a look at her bone structure. After that, we'll take some blood sample, and move on with the surgery."My heart begun pounding. I wanted my friends back. I wanted to go home…what kind of people were they. I didn't do anything to them, and the first thing they want to do with me is open me up.
"We'll do the X Rays in about an hour."I heard. At least I had time to reflect on my life…to go back and look at every detail of it. Slowly, I closed my eyes, and slipped out of consciousness.
Angus and I walked outside to check if they had arrived yet. I looked into the alley, and saw nothing. Clouds yet again covered the sky, as light rain trickled on to the pavement. I turned to go back into the house, when I blue flash caught my eye at the last second. I looked back into the alley, and lightning struck towards the back, temporarily blinding me. When my vision returned, I saw a large white royal looking horse, with a mane that carried and flourished in the wind.
Around her, were five other ponies, all roughly the same size of Fluttershy. I got the attention of Angus, and brought him out. The ponies now walked out of the alley, spotting us just outside my door.
"HAULT!"The biggest yelled. "Where is the one we called, Fluttershy?"She asked.
"You, must be Celestia…I took Fluttershy in, and took care of her for a few days. Yesterday however…men came, and took her away. They forced us apart…I couldn't stop them. We've waited for your arrival, and are delighted you are here."I explained.
"Enough. We'll find her if it's the last thing we'll do. Tell me human, do you have anything that belongs to her?"She asked. I thought for a moment, as Angus went into the house. He came back out, with a cloak.
"Fluttershy was wearing this before she was taken, I believe."He said.
"Yes. I put it over her so she couldn't be seen."
"Twilight…do your stuff."Celestia said. A purple pony stepped forward. I gave her the cloak, as her horn glowed with an aurora of purple and red. A flash startled Angus and I, and Twilight gave us the cloak back.
"The spell will lead us to Fluttershy. What's the quickest way of transportation you have on this planet?"Twilight asked.
"Uh, by air. But flights are very expensive."I explained.
"We do have other ways that are just as efficient. Fluttershy couldn't have gone far."Angus suggested.
"Here, the second half of the spell is ready to be cast."Twilights' horn glowed again, and cast the spell. Only she could see the outcome of the spell. "I'm the only one who can see it, but the spell makes a direct path to Fluttershy…it goes Northeast."She said.
"The next bus will come shortly. We'll go up north, until you say otherwise."I said. People stared as the group of ponies walked through the streets, one after the other. Celestia had a stern, assertive look on her face, as we saw the bus rolling up the street. It stopped, and I led the way in. The bus went up to Oxford, a city northeast of here.
The bus drivers' jaw dropped as the ponies marched in. People stood up in fear, and curiosity. I led the way upstairs, where it was completely deserted. The bus drove away, as Twilight looked in a single direction, which I figured was the paths' direction.
For twenty minutes, Twilight was looking perpendicular to the windows now. "It's east of us now…and very close. The path changes color depending on how close we are."She explained. At the next stop, we got off the bus, and headed east on foot.
In front of us lied a warehouse with shattered windows, and rusted metal. "We're here."Twilight said. Celestia stepped forward, and with her own magic, tore down the door...
