//------------------------------// // Running around at the speed of sound // Story: The darkness of my soul // by TheBritishBrony //------------------------------// 2 I opened my eyes quickly forcing them shut due to the sunlight. "Ow." I murmured. I opened them again more slowly so as not to burn my eyes. "-ll I just don't know what else to do rainbow." I heard a voice say from outside the door. "Well you could write to the princess and have her sort it out." I forced my eyes shut as the door opened. "What makes you think the princess needs to worry about an animal from the everfree?" Said Twilight. "Well number one, this is a brand new never before seen creature." Said Rainbow Dash. "Number two, it is strong enough too cause a full grown timber wolf too implode." "Also it must be intelligent." Said a small voice from the corner. Rainbow Dash turned to the source of the voice. "What makes you say that flutters?" She asked. "Well it can make cloths and I thought I heard it speak." I smiled. At least one of them knows I'm intelligent.  "Well then," said Twilight with a slightly crazed smile."Let's experiment." My smile dropped. Twilight closed in on me. "Oh no you don't!" I shouted, leaping up kicking Twilight in the chin causing her to flip back. This in turn caused Rainbow to come crashing into fluttershy. Switching directions I jumped out of the window into the street below shredding my skin in the process. The street was a sight too behold. Colourful ponies that were walking about, inside what I assumed was a market, stopped to stare at the strange creature that had burst out of the library. "Um..." I said awkwardly. "Hello?" I waved at them and got a couple of waves back. "There it is!" I heard rainbow dash shout. I jumped into overdrive. My sudden gain of speed causing a tremendous boom. "HOLY MOTHER!" I shouted in shock. My feet flew shredding up the road. Looking behind me I saw a midnight blue streak coming from behind me. A second boom resounded and I saw a rainbow streak quickly closing the gap. I was running so fast I realised that I could not hear. Which meant I had to be moving faster than the speed of sound. But I could still see Rainbow Dash closing the gap. I pushed more energy into my feet. "What the..." I never got to finish my sentence because before I knew it a final boom sounded and I smashed into a brick wall. Before passing out I saw a white alicorn stare at me. ----------------- "Well well." Said the nightmare. "I never thought he would break the light barrier." She chuckled. "This boy is proving more powerful then I originally expected." ---------
