Rocky Road

[Pacifist]

There was a moment of awkward silence. I stared at Pinkie, she stared at me. Her smile seemed to be frozen. I slowly got out of bed. "...Uh, this isn't what it looks like?" I offered, giving a sheepish smile that might have unintentionally accentuated my fangs.

The next thing I sww was a pink blur, and thr sensation of being slammed into the ground. My head rang. I think Maud and Pinkie might have been talking about something, I wasn't sure. When I did regain my senses, both mares were gone, though I suspect not for long. I've been found out. Well, my life was over. I started hyperventilating, slumped against the cave wall. What should I do? What could I do?

I heard a set of hoofsteps. A group of ponies; The Elements of Harmony, no doubt. I had no time; I doubt they would be foolish enough to leave an exit for escape, so that left one option. I crouched behind the bed, and in a flash of green I became a rock. I heard the six ponies bicker, their voices spreading out as they began their search. It was not long before the white one- Rarity, if I recall- took notice of the rock behind the bed. She hummed, and gave me a shove.

I must not have had the weight or texture right, because she let out a shriek and flung me with her magic. My disguise collapsed, and I didn't have time to regain my bearings before one of them blasted me in the shoulder with combat magic. I cried out in pain as I flipped over again. I grabbed my shoulder. Was it bleeding? I felt very lightheaded, and in so much pain. This was it. They were going to banish me, or kill me or, I don't know, something.

I cried. I cried, I sobbed, I begged. I pleaded for them not to hurt me. My shoulder hurt so much. My life was over. I'd never see Maud again.

Somepony was hugging me.
"Obsidian."
M-Maud?
"Obsidian, look at me."
I opened my eyes. There she was, holding me, keeping me safe.
"What are you doing?!" The purple one shouted. I whimpered, holding onto Maud a little tighter.
"I'm keeping my boyfriend safe." Maud replied. She gave me a small peck on the cheek. She didn't abandon me.

I tried to blubber out an apology, but she put a hoof to my lips.
"You have nothing to apologize for." She said. I nuzzled my muzzle in her chest fur, closing my eyes and letting her love wash over me. I started to tune out the outside world as she began talking to the Elements.

Everything will be okay.
Everything will be okay.


I hope.
