So who won the poll. Is it the YES or the I DON'T KNOW? GO UNICORNS WAHOO!

[Chiley]

Okay guys, greetings from the Nyan Cat Gurl, I am finally posting my entry for the contest. I know, I'm pushing the limit, posting on the day if the deadline. Oh well, it's kinda long but I hope you guys like it!


The pounding of hooves filled my ears. My panting resonated throughoutmy body with every step I took. I took a fleeting glance back behind me, and I found that I was still being hotly pursued. I held back a sob inside me. Why can't they just let me be? I wailed soundlessly. Why won't they just stop chasing me? I thrummed my hooves faster, faster, as fast as they could go, anything to put as much distance between myself and my pursuers. It wasn't my choice to be born a unicorn. Is this my punishment for being born a normal mare, only with a spiral horn in the center of my head? Forever running as fast as I could, forever being chased?
It wasn't always like this, I reminded myself. There was a time not too long ago, a spell of calm, where I wasn't as sought out.
But then I let that human handle me, interact with me, changing me so now every human wanted me. And then, since then, I had to flee from anyone who approached me, continue on running with only minimal breaks when I could rest, hidden from all human sight.
I shook my mane to clear my thoughts. Now wasn't a time for wistful remembrance. I had to get away from my chasers first. I looked up just in time to see a tall sheer rock face, and I stopped to avoid a collision. I raised my head to peer at it closely, angling my gleaming horn towards the sky. It was too tall to leap over, and too smooth to climb on. I cast my eye over my shoulder to see that—thankfully—the humans were still only in the distance, but steadily approaching quickly. I directed my attention back towards the cliff face before deciding that I would have to use the magic stored inside my horn to get over this one. I didn't like using my power much, as it left traces of magic behind that attracted even more humans and alerted them that I, a unicorn, had been there. Nevertheless, I needed to this time, and I gently rest my horn on the vertical surface, tapping it once slowly. The effect was immediate; parts of the rock faded away to create small niches for my hooves. I instantly started to clamber up by placing my hooves into the small hoofholds, and when I reached the top I took off running without wasting a single heartbeat. I took another glimpse behind me to see the humans had almost cut their distance to half, but were still a ways off from the small cliff. I fretted that they could climb the rock using the holds I created, but immediately dismissed the thought. No way that such clumsy creatures could use them; my footholds were only for nimble feet to use.
Although they didn't use my way of climbing, the humans eventually cleared the rock face, reaching to top with rope and metal grapples. I had been away from the drop, but looked back to see that the humans were sticking spikes attached to rope into the rock and were pulling themselves up that way. I sucked in my lower lip and ran, and ran, and ran, this view only heightening my urgency to get away and not get caught.

I crossed icy rivers, fast-flowing torrents, precipices and forests, but all through them the resistant humans prevailed, although losing some of their numbers along the way. I didn't count the days that went by, but when I was climbing this mountain, I noticed only about five of the original many were left still chasing me, the most stubborn, willing, and determined. I witnessed one falling off, another tumbling down, and made one more jump down to avoid being hit by my rocks. I'll have to give them the same determination and courage that I had, the strong will to either capture me or have a refusal to be caught. There was only one human left still chasing me when I was trapped by a dead end, three sides enclosing me with no escape, and all with the tops too high above me. The only way of escape was the way I had come... The path behind me where the human was...now in front of and blocking. I lowered my head, aiming my horn at the human, narrowing my eyes to dare it to come one step closer, which would result in being impaled. I wished for wings like my winged horned kin, the alicorn. Then I would be able to fly over the surrounding walls of rock. Been able to fly over the rivers and every other obstacle I encountered along the way here. Been able to fly over the cliff face. Been able to fly away from the humans.
The blood was rushing through my ears, but inside I was calm. A ready calm, a calm that was ready for what would happen. Maybe I already knew what would happen. Maybe it was inevitable. Even if I escaped, the same chase would repeat itself. Maybe it was better to be caught here.
No. I shook my head and mane. It wouldn't be. I was a free spirit. I belonged to be out here, free and wild, as opposed to the clutches of an inferior human. I readied my horn. Whatever would happen, I would go down fighting. I waited for the human to move, to step closer, and implication for me to charge and attack.
The human didn't come any closer to me than before, but instead slowly drew a large, black thing of mesh. The human didn't make any sudden movements, and didn't break eye contact with me. I didn't move or avert my gaze either. But suddenly, faster than I could follow, the black web was thrown at me. I redirected my horn to deflect it and fling it away, but to my surprise and astonishment, it just slipped through one of the holes that made it up. I struggled with the trap, tossing my head and rearing, bucking my legs and behind, but it wouldn't come off. Nor would it move from this spot, almost as if it was clinging to the ground, holding me hostage to the spot. I continued struggling with the trap, even when the human came over and looked down at me with eyes filled with contentment and glee, and ultimately of satisfaction and success.

I don't remember ever blacking out, but I must have, as the next time I woke up was in a small, colorless enclosure, one that was labeled "9. HOARDS: UNICORNS NEFT". I saw that I was decked out in clothing and accessories, and looked down at my necklace to see that it was named "Sparkle: ASK&I'LL SPARKLE YOU LOL". I grimaced. What a horrendous name. I saw that there were other unicorns like me dressed and adorned with similarity with items, and all named with an assortment of "NEEEFTE", "ASK AND YOU'RE FOED", and just "NFT". They couldn't move, and just looked at me with a bored fashion like, "Oh, another one." I was frozen also, and couldn't even ask a simple, "Where are we?" I knew though. Yes, I knew very well where I was. I've been in similar circumstances before, anyway. There was no escape here, the only possibility to flee when I was being offered to or by another, usually by since when offered to another, unless for an undervalued deal, they resulted in rejection and an unsuccessful attempt at freedom. I don't know how long I would stay in here, trapped and locked, dressed like a gift, but when the time for freedom comes, I'm taking it. I'm a free horse, a mare with a horn and wild spirit that would not be tamed by a mere human. However long I will be imprisoned here, I won't stop fighting and will always take the chance to run, run towards the chance of freedom and tomorrow's morning.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU MADE IT TO THE END! Okay, yay. This is kind of describing the demand of the unicorns now with the new transformation project, and how so many want them, and yet the unicorns are so elusive. In the end, the unicorn so many people wanted gets claimed by just one person. This was a story describing that with a creative twist of a unicorn mare running away for freedom before being captured again. I know I said
*alicorn, and there was a discussion about the correct term in the previous pages, but I used that word to be more easily identified
*there was a lyric in here somewhere, from Three Days Grace's Unbreakable Heart. (Can't find it now... )Hey, that lyric just came to me when I was writing this, but the sing actually fits in well with this.
*Thank you for reading and good luck to all!

I dressed up one of my unicorns!

Hello.
That's so beautiful! ;~; Love the way you hid the line between the two backgrounds!


That is mine. It took so long to do it... For something so simple. I'm feeling mostly satisfied, with the items I have, but I only wish I had the Midnight Rose Pin from last Halloween. It would go so good together...
*Arokai, if you ever see this which you won't, this is the reason why it took over 20 minutes to respond back on the RP
