MLP Next Gen Book 1: The Abandoned Road

Why Am I Here?

*Starburst's POV*

I don't know why these crazy people are my friends, and I don't know why I have to do this whole "quest" thing. My parents are actually doing real quests with real danger. But nooo, I have to go on a little kiddie adventure game. Now it's not like I hate my friends, I'm just not as coo-coo as them.

" Star, look what I can do!" CC shouted hanging from a tree branch on her feet.

"Cool," I grumbled. She wobbled until she fell... straight into Del's arms.

" Wow that was fun! It was like a crazy trust fall!" CC cheered hopping out of Del's arms and skipped along the path. Del just kind of stood there. Prism actually had to push Del to get him to move.

" And you said Star got lost in my eyes, look at you!" Prism joked. Ugh, Prism! He thinks he's soooo handsome and cute and- anyway. We made it to the end of the road, literally! The road really just stopped and blocking the path was yellow police tape and traffic cones.

"Heh, police tape! They think that can stop us?" Clarity laughed walking straight through it.

" I don't know about this," T whimpered.

"Don't be such a baby, T!" Clarity taunted. T growled at her and play attacked her (this is why I don't want any siblings). We then heard a crack and tree falling.

"What was that?!" Annie cried. T then grabbed her and kept her near his chest. "Oh, T..." Annie blushed, "But no really, what was that?" We looked around and heard a scream. We then heard running and heavy breathing when suddenly a hairy man jumped from the bushes. He was covered in wounds and scratches.

"Are you alright?" Del asked extending his hand. The man slapped it away.

"You kids should not be here!" the man trembled. "The Nightmare, the Nightmare!" he started yelling. We heard another crash and a growl.

"This is why this area was closed!" Clarity stated.

"Everybody Run!!!" I shouted.

"What are we running from?!" CC shouted.

"It doesn't matter, just run!!!" I commanded. We all bolted for our lives. This was no kiddie adventure anymore.
