After some time, one of the guards came back with a cot luckily it was a fairly good sized one. Me and Connor made it and we went to sleep. Me sleeping in the bed with Scootaloo and Connor on the cot. Hours past but a vision came to me.

"He is a Monster, I saw him eat chimera whole! Gut's, Fur, all of it! The only thing left it bone." 

I had no idea who's voice it was but something told me that would happen when.

"Dad is that true?"

I felt my mind twist. That was Scootaloo.......so many thoughts went in my mind mostly what would i do. Connor already knows that i am part zombie but I think tomorrow it will be me and him vs a mob. I heard the door to our room slowly open then i heard a wishper.

"I saw what happened"

I woke up my eyes still groggy. 

"Who's.....there?" I said trying not to fall asleep again.

"It me Luna." She replied.

"Oh Luna *I yawn* what did you want to talk about?" 

"I heard what you heard."

"Wait you can read my mind?"

"Well yes and no....I can see ponies dreams but only at night."

"I guess it works with me too because you heard what I heard."

I removed the covers from my body and got out of the bed and whipped the "sand" out of my eyes and yawned a bit more. I watched over to the light. I still rubbed my eyes seeing how i was still sleepy. 

"So?" I asked

"So what?" Luna replied.

"What I am I going to do. If Scootaloo finds out what i am.....I don't know what will happen."

"I think you should come clean." 

"No! I couldn't she would not like me anymore. I mean who wants a Monster for a dad?" 

"Valid point."

We walked down the hall as I was still trying to think of something to do. I love her and she loves me.....and if i brake that.......Connor will be the only one i will be able to turn to. I had to do what i needed to do....but would she be able to understand that? I stopped walking and put my hand on my head. Luna stopped and turned around.

"So what are you going to do?" Said Luna.

"I am.....going....to try to come clean." I said quietly.

"Well, I wish the best of luck to you."

"Thank you....a lot....." I turn around and headed back to the guest room. "Lets hope i can do it....."

I made it back to the guest room and tip-toed over to Scootaloo who was asleep. Connor was a heavy sleeper so i was not to worried about him. I touched Scootaloo and gently shook her to wake her up.

"Mmmmh?" She said in a soft voice. Her beautiful purple eyes opened. "Oh dad *yawn* what is it?"

"Well.....I.....wanted to tell you something." I said in a shaky voice.

"Well go on what is it?"

"I wanted to tell you that......that...." I just froze i had no idea what to say. "Well i know we met a few hours ago.....and there is so much that you do not know about me......Its that."

"Is that what?"

"I am.....am....am......a zombie." I said it....I really said it......But what will she do is the question.

"YOU'RE A ZOMBIE!" She said in a a loud yet quiet voice.

"Shhhhhhh. Yes i know its shocking."

"Why did you tell not me any sooner?" 

"I.....I didn't know how you would react. I wanted to keep it from you when something happened in my sleep. I just.....didn't want to lose you."

She said nothing for some time. I was afraid that she would hate me still and try to run away. But what she said shocked me.

"That's.....ok with me."

"You sure? Your not mad?"

"Why would i be mad at my dad."

"Good....Point....."

I kissed her good night and went back to bed me self. Ponyville will know of what i have done....But i did not care a long as scootaloo loves me. We will just have to wait for the next day to see what will happen.
