Captured II (Western AU)

Author's Note: Captured II. As of right now, there is roughly two more versions of this to go. There could be others to go due to how there are other AUs unmentioned as of right now. Enjoy.

 WestiMight's POV:

 This ain't good. This ain't good. I thought that being bitten and poisoned by a rattlesnake-hybrid and being beaten up by a strong bandit was rough. Now... Now that I got the alarm from another universe this proves to not be true. 

 First, I'm in danger. Second, the world is danger. I got onto my horse and rode out of town as fast as I could. It's only been half a god darn week since those..... hermits I believe..... have left from our world. 

 My whole upper body burned as I held onto the reins. I was just lucky that the poison had left my lower body, and my horse was docile enough to not throw me at the drop of a hat. I rode out when the moon was high. There was no way that I would risk Ren's and Joe's lives. 

 I coughed as I lowered my head. I needed to rest. I know I needed too, but this alarm that I got leaves no time for rest. The sand dunes around me seemed to waver in size as the town's lantern lights disappeared behind me. 

 It felt like shadows were behind me. They were watching my every move, and I know that at some point they'll strike me down and take me away like they did the dragon.

 I shook my head.

 No, I can't think about this right now. I just need to keep riding. I need to get faraway from this good ol' town and not to panic. My tail and ears twitched as I continued to ride. 

 I looked up towards the full moon. A weird pain in my chest and head always comes around at this hour and on a day like this. My ears twitched as I climbed up another dune. The cacti around me seems to repeat until I stopped.

 One of the cacti.... It moved slightly and disappeared rather quickly. The fur on the back of my neck and whole tail bristled as I rode slowly. When I heard wild screaming, I rode as fast as I could. Two shadows were following me. One of the shadows was high in the sky, and the other was behind me and approaching fast.

 " LEAVE ME ALONE! I AIN'T DONE NOTHIN'!" I shouted as I picked up my pace. I honestly don't remember how long I was running for, but I ended up in a place with almost no lights. The only ones present was the stars in the sky, and the eyes that were still chasing after me. 

 The full moon's pain was growing worse as a rope snapped around my waist. My horse stopped and neighed as I was yanked off the hoofed mammal. A harsh, snapping sound came from my arm as I was forced onto my side. 

 I growled and snapped at the two, shadowy figures that stood above me. The shorter, twitchier one held a knife that glinted in the moonlight. In their other hand, the rope that yanked me to the ground. I breathed heavily as my arm refused to move.

 " Now... Who in the sand dunes are ya'll?" I questioned as what looked like fire surrounded us. My ears went back as I looked up at the counterparts that had caught me.

 " P....poweraph? Fantasy?" I stuttered as my tail wrapped around my leg. The two grinned at each other as I was picked up with some kind of black magic. I frowned as I was set onto my two feet as my tail twitched. 

 The reverse Fantasy grinned at me as she let go of the rope, " Little puppy trying to run away." My ears went back. This is sick. The smell of blood, could've been my own, stung the air as I stared at my capturers. 

 " W....who are you two..... really?" I questioned in a weak voice as I noticed two other shadows in the night. Were.... Was I being followed by even more of these twisted versions of my friends. No, no there's something..... better.... about to happen.
