Chapter 4: Maybe
*scootaloo POV*
I woke up suddenly from the peaceful sleep in this small forest hut. Looking around I find that Zecora is still gone. Why isn't she back yet? Did something happen? Is she really coming back? Stop it Scootaloo, you can't think like that. But what if.. no, stop that. I sighed, I am going to go crazy thinking about this. What is going to happen to me now that Zecora knows? I can't even imagine who she is going to tell, I know she wants to help, but what if they don't believe it? What if they send me back? I can't go back.
I looked around Zecoras hut, she had so many interesting things from her native home. Masks and animal skin things, which are kinda creepy, she has potions and medicines, all different kinds of plants. Everything is so interesting. I wonder what her home land is like.
I jumped when the door opened. "scootaloo!" I ducked behind the bed, hoping that whoever it was couldn't see me.
*Rainbow Dash POV*
I was darting around the forest looking for Scootaloo, I was going so fast I almost ran into Zecora. "Zecora!" She looked at me, her eyes looked different... sad maybe? "RainbowDash, why so rushed?" She asked me. "Iam looking for scootaloo, I saw her run in here but can't find her anywhere" She laughed, why is she laughing? this is serious! "Scootaloo is here indeed, so I am off to tend her need" huh? "she is here? at your place?" I asked, I never did understand her riddle talk. She nodded, the more I think about it, she looked like she is really mad about something. "What happened?" I asked, she frowned. "Scootaloo has run from fear, she needs help to be safe here" run from fear? help to be safe? "what does that mean?" I questioned, I am so confused. "look inside and you will find, that you too have seen the signs". Signs? Signs of what? "what are you-" I froze mid scentence. The bruises, limping, always jumpy. "zecora are you saying what I think your saying?" I asked with a shaking voice, she looked down, thats all I needed to confirm what she meant. I screamed and darted off to Zecoras hut.
I flew inside and stopped. "Scootaloo!" I saw her jump and duck behind the bed. Rainbow Dash you idiot, you have to be more careful and gentle. I can't freak her out anymore. I landed quietly and stayed by the door. "scoot its just me" I said, her head poked outand she sighed. "what are you doing here?" she asked, I slowly walks to her. "I saw you run into the forest, I ran into Zecora while I was looking for you" her eyes got huge. "did she..." oh scoot. "I figured it out through her riddle speak" I said, she looked down. "Scootaloo why didn't you tell me? or anypony? we could have helped you" I frowned when she turned away from me, but not before i caught a glimpse of tears forming. "I tried to, a while ago. but they said I was just being dramatic." I frowned, who would ever think that someone saying they are being hurt was being dramatic? "Scoot they were wrong. Being hurt by someone is never ok. And asking for help is not being dramatic." I pulled her next to me on the bed and frowned seeing her wing. "did they do this?" I asked, she nodded. "Oh Scoot. This is not ok for anyone to do this, to you, or to anyone" I said, she was shaking, I looked down and saw she was crying. "Scootaloo your safe now. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise" I pulled her close and gently rubbed her injured wing, she whimpered a little but eventually calmed down. When I looked down she was asleep. I smiled and pulled the blanket over her. "I won't let anyone hurt you anymore"
