The human girl of Equestria

by Y the monster master

Chloe is an eight years-old girl who's been abused by her own family. Willing to have a much happier life, she runs away from home, but she got attacked and she fell down a bottomless waterfall, and she accidentally ended up in Equestria. However, despite of having great fear of all kinds of animals, she accepts Princess Celestia as her mother and a new family bond began to form.

31. Chapter 30:the elephant herd

When morning came, Chloe and Aylene woke up and they went to eat some breakfast, before they said to Celestia and Luna they're going to play with their friends outside and they promised them they'll return home before evening, and then Chloe and Aylene went outside the royal castle and they went towards the meadow, where they met up with the CMC and Sandbar again, and then they all started to play together until Shujaa came to have another fun day with them.

Then, Shujaa said to Chloe and to the others "Alright, everyone. Who's ready to start our second fun day?", and Chloe cried "I'm ready!", and Aylene added "Me too!", and then the CMC and Sandbar also said they wanna come too, and that's when Shujaa said "Okay, so let's go and have lots of fun!", and so he started to run fast, and Chloe and the others followed close behind.

Eventually, they all ended up reaching the Everfree Forest again, and this is when Shujaa said to everyone else to follow him, and that's what they all did as they entered the Everfree Forest. The group wandered in the Everfree Forest until Shujaa told everyone else to stop and turn their heads to the right, and when they all did so, they saw an amazing sight - a herd of Indian elephants enjoying eating from the plants and vegetation around them, before one of them, an old female, possibly the matriarch, spotted them and started to approach them, and when she stopped right in front of them, she stretched her trunk for them, and that's when Shujaa gave her his arm and hand and then they started to shake their trunk and hand with each other.

Then, once they stopped shaking they trunk and hand with each other, the old female Indian elephant spoke up and said to Shujaa as she also turned to see Chloe and the others behind his back "That's so nice to meet you again, Shujaa, and it seems like you brought here with you some visitors.", and then she said to Chloe and to the others "Hello there, new visitors.", and then she introduced herself "I'm Queen Tukta, the matriarch of my herd, and my elephants and I were very kind, gentle and tolerant towards other creatures.", and then she pointed at Chloe with her trunk and asked her "And you, you're a human being, aren't you?", and Chloe answered "Yes, I am. My name is Chloe, I'm 11 years old and I'm living in this worlds known as Equestria for something like almost 3 years!".

When Queen Tukta heard what the human girl said, she asked her "And you faced lots of enemies before?", and Chloe answered "Yes, I did, and that's not all, because I managed to kill two evil crocodiles from Lysander's float when they harassed us and tried to devour us, before Shujaa actually saved us by killing a third evil crocodile, causing and forcing Lysander and his remaining crocodiles to retreat!", and when she heard what Chloe said about herself being able to kill two of her enemies before, Queen Tukta said to her "Well then, I see you're indeed strong for a human girl around your age!", but Chloe said "It was nothing, really. I was just trying to protect myself and my friends from threats and dangers.".

Then, Queen Tukta called for the rest of her herd to come to see Chloe and her pony friends, and that's when the six introduced themselves to the Indian elephants, and in the process, one of the elephant revealed to Chloe and to her friends that they're good neighbors with Angalifu and his gorilla troop and that they're living in peace and harmony, despite they're living a distance away from each other, and that Shujaa is also a good friend of their herd too.

Then, some the youngest Indian elephants in the herd wanted to go with Chloe and with her pony friends to play hide-and-seek with them, and they accepted and started to play all together and they started to wander some distance away from Shujaa and from the rest of Queen Tukta's herd. Then, Chloe, Aylene, the CMC, Sandbar and the young Indian elephants started to play hide-and-seek together, and that's when they started to split up and hide and different places in the Everfree Forest when one started to count to 20, and once the latter finished counting, the latter will start to search and look for all the others.

The first turn in the hide-and-seek was Sweetie Belle's, so she was the first to count to 20 and then she gone to search for everyone else, and after she found them all, the next turn was given to Randall, and once his turn was done, Sandbar's turn have began, and once his turn was done, it went to each and every one from the others respectively. After playing hide-and-seek a lot, Chloe, her pony friends and the young elephants decided to have one last turn before quitting the game, and so Scootaloo was given the honor to have the last turn in hide-and-seek, and so she started to count to 20 while everyone else went to split up to search for different places to hide.

However, while hiding from Scootaloo, one of the young elephants, a female named Kyra, met Ocellus the changeling, one of Sandbar's non-pony friends and a member of the young six, and they soon befriended each other after Ocellus explained to her that she's a nice, love-filled and a reformed changeling, and that's when Kyra decided to invite her to play hide-and-seek with her by hiding with her by her side and just wait for Scootaloo to find them. However, the teenage changeling and the young elephant soon heard an adult female voice chuckling evilly from right behind their backs, and because they knew and understood by the sound of the female voice that it wasn't belongs to Scootaloo, the two turned around to see Sayla the adult female gorilla approaching the both of them with an evil smirk as she looked at Kyra and Ocellus with her malevolent-looking eyes, thus scaring them as they both started to shake in fear when Sayla got closer to them.

Meanwhile, Scootaloo and the others have already finished playing hide-and-seek and they all went back to Shujaa and the older elephants, but then an adult female elephant suddenly cried in concern and worry "Where's Kyra?! Where is she?! Where's my little daughter?!", and when Queen Tukta turned and asked the female elephant, who is Kyra's mother, what's wrong, Kyra's mother cried "My daughter is missing! Where is she?! Where's my little daughter?!", and then she started to cry, and this made Quuen Tukta approach her and hold her trunk in a tight and holding embrace, and then she said to her with a reassuring smile "It's alright. Don't worry about her, I'm pretty sure she's still playing somewhere around. She's probably fine.", but then Shujaa said "I don't think so, Queen Tukta, my friend, because I think I can hear her screaming somewhere away from here, and it looks like someone who is probably also still young was also screaming alongside her too!", and when Sandbar heard the screams, he said as he recognized the other screaming voice "Oh no! It sounds like my changeling friend, Ocellus! And she and Kyra were both in danger!", and then Randall cried "We have to find them! Both of them!", and then Shujaa said "Let's go!", and so he, Chloe, Aylene, the CMC and Sandbar all went in the direction where the screaming voices came from and hoped they'll be able to find both Kyra and Ocellus, while the elephants all stayed behind and waited for them to return with their missing youngster.

Shujaa and the others continued to follow in the direction where the two screaming voices came from until they found themselves in front of an awful sight - they all saw Sayla tormenting both Kyra and Ocellus and dragging them along with her with such a strong force from her long and flexible arms and hands, and the changeling and the young elephant both cried for help as Sayla continued to drag them by their hind legs along with her, and then the female gorilla laughed evilly as she kept tormenting her new captives, and that's when Shujaa angrily shouted at her while she's trying to leave with Kyra and Ocellus hostages "LEAVE THEM ALONE!", and this caused Sayla to turn her head and look right at Shujaa and at the others, and then she evilly said "You stay where you are, stupid albino orangutan! Or these two will soon die because of my strong force I have thanks to my big body!", and then the CMC cried in unison "Ocellus! Kyra!", and then Sandbar asked "Why are you doing this to them?" and then he added "Neither of them did anything bad to you before!", but Sayla explained "That stupid little baby pachyderm is friends with the foul creature who's kind have killed my younger sister, isn't she?!", and then she asked "And by the way, I thought all changelings were evil creatures who always feed on love!", but then Ocellus cried "Not me! I'm not an evil changeling! Except for Chrysalis, all the other changelings back at changeling kingdom were now good, love-filled and benevolent thanks to ponykind!", but then Sayla lowered her head down to the teenage changeling, and then she started to bite her on the saddle on her back, causing her to yelp and cry in pain as the female gorilla's bite force is nearly making its way into her flesh, and that's when Chloe ran into Sayla and then she jumped up and kicked her on the side of the head, causing her to scream and let go of Ocellus immediately, but before Ocellus can escape and get back to the others, Sayla recaptured her again and then took her and Kyra with her, but not before she threw Chloe at Shujaa to knock him out too so they won't interfere in him malicious plans she got for both the changeling and the little elephant she just caught.

However, Chloe and Shujaa soon regained their strength to stand back up on their feet, and then they and the other all started to chase after Sayla, who is taking Ocellus and Kyra with her as her captives, and she got a very malicious and cruel plan for the both of them in mind that she also already prepared for them. Chloe, Shujaa and the others all continued to chase after Sayla until they managed to trap her on the top of a large rock, but that's the right moment she just waited for, and then she let out a roar which was responded by other sudden roars, and then two large adult male grizzly bears came out of nowhere, stopped at the bottom of the large rock, looked up at Sayla, who is still holding Ocellus and Kyra hostages, and then she said to Shujaa "Destroy that human girl, or the changeling and the elephant dies!", but then Kyra cried "Mommy, help me!" and tears started to form and roll down her eyes, but then Sayla cruelly roared at her like an angry monster, causing the young elephant to cry even more, and then Sayla evilly said to her "Your mommy isn't going to save you, you stupid little pachyderm! Now say goodbye, bear food!", and then she's about throw both Ocellus and Kyra off the top of the large rock in an attempt to feed them both to the two hungry male grizzly bears who are both waiting for them at the bottom of the rock.

However, before Sayla could throw both Ocellus and Kyra down to the hungry male grizzly bears, Chloe, Aylene and Sandbar all lunged at her and then they managed to land on her and make her lose her balance and fall of the top of the rock herself, but she still managed to grab and hold tightly at Ocellus's left hind leg and hoof and then she tried to pull her down with her so the grizzly bears will eat both her and the teenage changeling at once, but then Kyra (who managed to escape Sayla's grip and managed to climb to safety) wrapped her trunk around Ocellus's right foreleg and hoof and tried her best to not let go of her as she knew that if she lets go of Ocellus, she and Sayla will fall down to the hungry male grizzly bears and will get eaten by them.

Ocellus cried "Help me, please!", as she and Sayla were now hanging between life and death, and Kyra still held tightly on Ocellus's right foreleg and hoof with her trunk as she struggled to pull the changeling up to save her life, but then she felt someone else helping her pulling Ocellus back up to safety - it was Shujaa. The albino orangutan used his own size and strength to help Kyra pull Ocellus back up to safety, thus saving her life, though the two also saved Sayla, but this is the right moment Shujaa was been waiting for, and when Sayla finally let go of Ocellus's left hind leg and hoof, but still held on the edge of the top of the large rock for dear life, Shujaa lowered down to her and gave her his hand and said to her "Let me pull you up.", and Sayla listened to him and grabbed onto his hand and then he started to pull her up, but then she started to bite him on the arm, thus causing him to scream and roar in pain, but then the CMC climbed on Shujaa's back and went down to his arm, and then they all started to kick Sayla in the face until she screamed in pain and let go of Shujaa's arm, causing her to fall down and strike and hit the ground below, thus getting a bit injured, but luckily for her, she remained alive.

However, Sayla's relieving moments were short-lived when the two male grizzly bears suddenly turned and saw her, and so they both decided to change their minds and eat the female gorilla instead, causing Sayla to quickly get back up onto her feet and make a run for her life in an attempt to avoid getting eaten by the two hungry male grizzly bears, who started to chase after her in an attempt to eat her for lunch and dinner, and Shujaa, Kyra, Ocellus, Chloe and all the others looked down at her and laughed at her as she's pursued by the two hungry male grizzly bears, and so she ran deeper into the Everfree Forest until she and the two male grizzly bears can no longer be seen.

Once the threats are gone, Ocellus suddenly turned to Shujaa and then she asked him "Why? Why did you just saved me?", and Shujaa answered "Because I've changed! I'm not anymore the same evil albino orangutan everypony and every creature used to know for all these years! When Chloe and Aylene saved me, I changed, and later I returned to save them and their friends from Lysander and from his float! You can trust me! So everypony and every creature else!", and then he stretched his arm and hand for Ocellus so he can shake her hoof, and at first she hesitated for a bit, but then she decided willingly to give her foreleg and hoof to him and once he caught her hoof, Shujaa started to shake her hoof with his hand, thus earning and gaining her trust and becoming her newest friend, and when they stopped shaking their hand and hoof with each other, Shujaa turned to the others and said to them that it's time to come back to see the elephant herd so they can give Kyra back to her herd, and so they went together all the way back to the elephant herd.

Back in the elephant herd, Kyra's mother was still extremely worried anout her precious daughter, and then she asked Queen Tukta "Why does it takes for them so long to return with my little daughter?", but then Queen Tukta calmed her down and said to her "Calm down, it's alright. I'm sure that your daughter and the others were all safe.", but then a familiar young female voice suddenly called out "MOMMY!", and when Kyra's mother heard the voice which sounded extremely familiar to her, she knew who's coming back - her young daughter, Kyra.

Then, when she turned her head in the direction where her daughter's voice came from, Kyra's mother saw her daughter (Kyra) running fast towards her and calling out for her to come, and the adult female elephant responded by running towards her daughter, and the two were finally reunited with each other, as Kyra wrapped her trunk around her mother's as tears started to form and rol down her eyes as she started to cry, and so Kyra's mother placed her trunk on her daughter's head and she began to gently stroke her head and face to calm her down, and then she turned to Chloe and to her friends and she said to them "Thank you all for saving my precious daughter!", and Chloe said to her back "No problem, mrs.", and then Ocellus came forward and said to Kyra's mother in fron of Queen Tukta "I thank and owe your daughter a lot! Because I would've died if she didn't used her trunk to save me just in time!".

However, when the elephants saw the teenage changeling talking about Kyra in a kind and even supporting tone, Queen Tukta asked "A good changeling? How is that possible?", and Ocellus explained "Since Chrysalis was dethroned, Thorax is now both the leader and the king of the changelings, but unlike Chrysalis, Thorax is a very good changeling, and thanks to him and to ponykind who taught him about how to share love instead of feeding on it, all the changelings, except for Chrysalis, who refused to change, changed into colorful and love-filled creature who are willing to share love with ponies, other changelings and even other non-ponies! He's gentle, he's caring, he's kind, and he looks and watches over the entire hive!", and when she said that, all the elephants gasped in shock and surprise to know that changelings are now good creatures which can be befriended, and then Queen Tukta said to the teenage changeling "Thanks for telling us that new kind of information about your own kind!", and then she said to the rest of the herd that there's nothing to fear of the changelings anymore since they're now good creatures, and this made all the other elephants to trumpet in joy.

"But Kyra isn't the only one who managed to save my life! I must thank Shujaa too for helping her to save my life as well!", but then Shujaa said "Oh, it was nothing, really.", but then Kyra's mother asked Ocellus "But I still must ask you something - what happened to you and to my daughter when no one noticed her hiding while playing hide-and-seek with them? And how do you even know her?", and that's when Ocellus began to explain everything to the elephant herd.

"I first met Kyra when she's playing hide-and-seek, and when we met each other, I explained to her I'm a good changeling who likes to make friends with other creatures, and because five of them, one of which is Sandbar the pony, were my best friends, and that's how we befriended each other, and then Kyra invited me to play hide-and-seek with her, but then we got kidnapped!" Ocellus explained, thus shocking the Indian elephants, and then Kyra's mother asked her "Who did this to you two?", and then Ocellus explained "Your daughter and I got kidnapped by a female gorilla with strong hatred and an extremely bad attitude!", and then Queen Tukta asked her "You know what's that gorilla's name?", and then Shujaa interrupted and answered "Her name is Sayla, and she's the most heartless gorilla who is living in Angalifu's troop!", and then Ocellus said "Yeah, exactly!", and then Kyra's mother asked "And why did she kidnapped you two?", and Ocellus explained "She hated us for being friends with Chloe because she's a human! She cruelly bit me on my back, she roared angrily at your daughter, and worst of all - she tried to feed us to two hungry male grizzly bears because she hates everypony and every creature whom are friends with humans! She tried to dispose of us by turning us into bear food!", and when the elephants heard what she said, they all gasped in shock to know about Sayla's deception.

"I can't believe what I'm just hearing right now! Sayla the gorilla tried to kill one of our youngsters because of her hatred to humans and to animals and other creatures who are friends with them?! This is outrageous! We must inform Angalifu and his troop about Sayla's deception right away!" Queen Tukta said in shock and anger, but before she said to her herd to move out, she said to Ocellus "Thank you for being a good friend for Kyra, and also for telling me about what Sayla did to you. I'll talk to Angalifu and he'll make sure he'll will deal with her somehow.", and then she turned back to the rest of her herd and called out "Elephants! Move out!" and they all obeyed her and they started to walk away, and then Queen Tukta said to Shujaa, Chloe, Ocellus and the others "Goodbye, my friends!", and then she turned and ran away to catch up with her herd so she can lead them to where Angalifu's troop is living, and that's when Ocellus called for the elephants as she and the others waved their hands and hooves for them "Goodbye, Queen Tukta! Goodbye, Kyra! Goodbye, every other elephant! I wish you all good luck!", and the elephants all trumpeted back in response as they continued to walk away until they can no longer be seen, and that's when Shujaa said to everypony and every creature "Now it's time for us to go home!", and so he took everyone with him and led them all out of the Everfree Forest and back to the meadow where they started their second fun day, and once they finally reached back to the meadow, everypony and every creature said goodbye to Shujaa, who went back to the Everfree Forest to get back to Yigal, Gilad and Ezra's house before it's nighttime, and then Chloe, Aylene, the CMC, Sandbar and Ocellus all went back to their homes back in Ponyville and Canterlot, and they all managed to arrive back at their homes before it's nighttime.

Once Chloe and Aylene arrived back at the royal castle, the sun was already setting down, and when evening came, they ate some dinner before they went to their bedroom to sleep when it's nighttime, and at the same time, back in the Everfree Forest, Angalifu punished Sayla after learning of her deception from Queen Tukta, and the punishment Angalifu gave Sayla was living, eating and sleeping away from all the rest of the troop for an entire month. However, despite her punishment, Sayla is still planning to do yet another attempt to get Chloe, but this time, she'll be kidnapping her instead of attacking her, and all what she needs to do is to persuade at least two other gorillas from Angalifu's troop to help her get Chloe so she can get rid of her for good, but for now, she'll be sleeping and waiting for the right time to finally come.
