But I’m not a monster… GET AWAY FROM MY CHILD YOU DEMON! … FREAK! … Why does everyone hate me? … Why am I alone? … Please don’t leave me. … A cold breeze swept over Canterlot and all its residents. The night hung high in to the sky giving the City of the mountain a cool and graceful feel to it. The ponies that resided in the city were fast asleep except for the occasional late night studier or worker. Lamps across the entire city were lit showing the occasional passing pony going to where they needed to go. One pony or in this case a colt strode the streets of Canterlot with a limp and staying as close to the shadows as possible. “Damn it! Why did they make me leave!?” the colt limp along the road trying his best not to be seen by any of the gang members around there and trying not to get mugged. “Well hello there ugly.” “Shit” he said quietly to himself as he turned around to see three ponies twice his size and three times his weight stand in front of him. “Well hello there you little creepy shit. What are you doing on are streets again?” A brown earth pony said to the small colt that was trying to press itself against a wall... “Umm, I’m just going through to get somewhere.” The colt said nervously looking at the three ponies sweat dripping down his face. “Well what did we tell you if we saw your ugly disgusting face here again?” said a white mane and blue fur coat unicorn next to the brown earth pony. The colt was unable to respond as he felt something solid hit him from his side making him fly through the air and scream from the pain. “Wow Star, I knew you were in Celestia’s school but I did not think you were strong enough to send the little freak that far.” The colt heard as he hit the side of a building and dropping to the ground with a slam. The colt could hear them getting closer but was only able to pick up minor things from the conversation they were having due to his lightheadedness from slamming in too a wall. “Well should we…” “I don’t know… don’t want to go…” “Stop being a baby. Who would listen to such a little freak…” The colt heard a small spark like metal on metal and felt something cold and metal come against his flank. Less than a second later he felt unimaginable pain across where his cutie mark was and cruel sickening laughter. “HAHA! Look at that his blood is red he could be a pony!” one of the ponies yelled but the colt could not tell due to the searing pain and tears running down his face. “Flip him so we could get the other side.” Once those words were out the colt felt magic grip around his waist and flip him aggressively over slamming him to the ground and distorting him. They did not even give him enough time to breath in gulp of air before they started on the other side of his flank. Screams filled the streets but no one came out to help the small colt as he was tortured, no one came to see if he was alright. No, each one tightened their windows shut, closed their doors and locked them tight while the colt screamed for mercy and help that would never come. Finally the pain stopped but did not go away it was like being stung by hundreds of bees and surviving so that your throat closed up enough that you could breathe but not scream. The colt lay there panting as the ponies around him laughed with delight while watching the colt cry and wither in pain. “OK, ok, he learned his lessons he won’t be coming down are streets again as long as he lives. Because if he does…” The brown earth pony got right up to the colt face “It will be worse than his cutie marks we burn and cut.” They walked away laughing as though they shared a casual joke and not just torture a poor colt to near death. The colt climbed shakily to his hoofs trying not to scream from the pain and pass out. Once he was standing up and using the wall as a support he looked to see where his cutie mark was to see a gruesome site. His signature cutie make had been partially burned and cut off. Before his cutie mark was manned it used to be a head of a white wolf with crystal blue eyes. Now the blue eyes the eyes had a more sinister look to it. Black burn marks now replaced the eyes with red splotches of blood giving it the look of a crying wolf; the snout now was also disfigured by having a burn mark on it. The young colt could barely move while trying to get out of the streets to get out of site so not to be attacked again. Blood drip from his wounds as he walked/limped to safety. Hours later, the colt finally made it to the train station only to hear a sentence that he always hated to be on the receiving end of. “Are you alright?” The colt looked behind him slowly to see a royal guard dressed up in golden armor standing behind him with a worried look. The two stared at each other one giving a look of worry while the other one gave a look of indifference. “Bucking guards” he said before letting the darkness enter his vision. The colt awoke to the sound of a low beeping noise. Opening his eyes to see what it was he quickly shut them do to the bright whiteness of the room. He slowly opened them to get used to the glare from the lights and found he was in a room filled with medical equipment. Across the room was a mirror but It was not facing the bed so the he could not see himself. He lifted the sheets he was under and jumped off the bed only to fall on his face after experiencing a large amount of pain in his flanks. After withering in a pain for what felt like hours he finally stood up and looked to where his cutie mark were. In the place of cutie marks what were supposed to be a white wolfs head with kind blue eyes were white bandages that covered his flank completely with blood marks on them. Looking away from the sight the colt walked to the mirror to see if he had any other injures. Once he got to the mirror he had to adjust his eyes as well due to there being lights near the mirror as well. His eyes adjusted and what he saw did not surprise him at all. Standing in front of the mirror was a colt with jet black hair and an even darker color of black fur body. It looked strange to see two giant white bandages on where his cutie marks were supposed to be, almost like he was being erased from existence. “Good riddance” he said looking up to his face. His hair covered part of his face but by standing close to him you could see the scars that were all along his face. Two scars covered his left eye going upwards and parallel to each other. While his right eye had a large scar the crossed out his eyes but he was still able to see out them both. Along his face were smaller scars along with a slightly bigger scar that covered from his lower lip to chin. But the scars were not even the worst of his problems. His eyes had slits where the pupils were supposed to be and his eyes were a deep dark blue. His eyes were not the frightening part of his body though; right where his right cheek was supposed to be was a large hole. The hole took his cheek and showed the boney smile underneath giving an almost permanent and eerie smile. If you were just looking at the left side of his face you would see that it just looked like scars but on the right it looked like a corpse was standing. *CRASH* He looked to his right to see a door that he did not notice before wide open and a unicorn nurse with a red mane and light blue fur standing there in shock and revulsion using her hoof to cover her mouth. On the floor seemed to be a plastic tray with food on it or food around it; it did not take a genius to see that the tray was what made the crash. “Not the first time.” The colt said disgruntled mostly because of the wasted food. The nurse quickly looked away and said “Y-you should not be out of bed right now.” “Shouldn’t you clean that as well?” The colt said pointing at the mess on the floor. The nurse with a blush quickly looked down and with her horn lifted the tray and the mess She looked away toward the door and said shakily “I-I’ll go get you some new food.” His only response was a grunt as she walked to his bed. Once he reached the bed he looked back to see the nurse had left him already. “Fast, but not a new record fast.” The colt said smiling to himself as he jumped on the bed but this time was expecting the discomfort and quickly recovered. He laid himself on his side on the bed and slowly closed his eyes with only one thought running through his head before letting sleep overtake him. Knowing she would not be back with the promised food. “Why do they always leave?” the colt said sadly before letting the darkness consume him. > The visit > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The colt awoke to a slight nudging on his side to see a yellow color unicorn standing there with a fake smile. How did he know it was fake you might ask; because they always were. “Well hello there, young colt. How are you feeling today?” the Doctor said still smiling. The colt looked the doctor in the eyes and said “Better then yesterday, but not the day before.” The unicorn seemed puzzled by what the colt said but quickly brushed it off to ask something else. “Well, I am your doctor and my name is Dr. White Bandage, so is there anything you need to make your stay more comfortable?” the doctor said still using that fake smile. “No” the colt replied coldly “Oh, Ok then” the doctor a little surprised by the tone of his reply and his smile wavered but came back quickly. “Well, I need to ask you some questions that alright with you?” The colt just nodded his head as a reply. The doctors smiled grew slightly bigger “Well ok then, but if you feel like you don’t want to talk about it just tell me to stop or we can skip the question and go to another one; no questions asked.” The colt nodded his head again. “Ok, so my first question is…What is your name is?” “Next question” The doctor stopped and looked at the colt his smile wavering but remembering that his promise did not push the subject. “Who are your parents?” “Next question” “Where are you from?” “Next Question” “How did you come across those injures?” “Next question” At that time the doctor was frowning and was getting irritated by the colt evading his questions. The doctor “Well, today is a special day. Do you know why?” The doctor said in a chirpy mood “No” he said with the same tone but this time the doctor did nothing to show he felt anything. “Well once a year the Princesses show up to the hospitals around Canterlot and today is the day that they visit the hospitals!” The doctor said with a real smile. Most likely due to him being able to suck up to the princesses for something. The colt blinked “So what?” The doctor stood there his smile crumbling to nothing. “So…so… so what?” The doctors eyes opened wide and his mouth opened in shock trying to form words. “WHA- I mean, what do you mean so what?” the doctor said raising his hoof and pointing it at him. “These are the Princesses we are talking! The ones who raise the sun and moon, The ones who rule over all the land of Equestria and all you have to say is SO WHAT?!?!?!” the doctor yelled out the last part “Yes” The doctor was completely flabbergasted by the serious of the tone that he walked out of the room mumbling to himself. The colt watched Dr. White Bandage leave without so much as a good by and the colt on the bed did not mind that at all for he had other things on his mind. Moving his hoof to his chin he began to gently tap it; if you listened closely as he tapped his chin it resembled a noise close to a hoof tapping metal. Putting his hoof back on the bed and he snorted “Buck the Princesses” Having said that the colt laid his head on the pillow and gently placed the blanket over him. Closing his eyes the last site the colt saw was a white picture less wall. The colt awoke to noises outside his room. “What do you mean he does not want to see us?” someone said from outside the door. “Like I said I think it will in your best interest to leave this room alone. As far as I could tell from meeting the child he does not want to see you Princess .This voice the colt recognized was the doctor that was here earlier today. It seemed he got the clue that he did not want to see the Princesses. “What did this colt look like?” a voice said that sounded oddly familiar to him. “Well,” the Doctor holding on to that word with dear life “He is a colt with a black mane and darker fur and some other features” “What other features?” The question sounded calm but the tone made it sound like it was with concern and anger. There was silence until the doctor gulped and spoke up. “Scars” There was a pregnant pause before the door flew open to show a white colored unicorn enter the room. He wore a little clip on tuxedo with a cutie mark of something you would see on a map. His blond hair covered his face until brushed it to the side showing his expression and it was not pretty. His expression showed pure anger as he walked to the colt and stopped in front of the bed. They stared at each other for what felt like hours until the tall unicorn breathed out a sigh of defeat. “Damn it Wolf. How did you get in here this time?” The colt sitting in the bed sat up straighter and responded with while waving his hoofs dismissively “It was totally not my fault, Blueblood.” Blueblood sat there with a look that screamed ‘Are you Bucking kidding me’. Blueblood was staring at him while Wolf was rubbing the back of his head and whistling. Neither noticing four pair of eyes looking through the window in the door but it seemed that Blue blood was standing in front of the colt so they could not see him. Blueblood smiled and laughed “Damn, Wolf what is that? Like the twelfth time this month?” “Hey now, it was only ten.” Wolf said smiling Blueblood smirked and started laughing which made Wolf laugh along with him. It was not a laugh of two strangers that found a common joke funny it was the laugh of two longtime friends remembering the past. “Sooo… How are you doing? Last I heard you ran off a snooty little marshmallow off at the Gala last week.” Wolf said trying to hold back his laughter The prince looked down with a blush and said “Well, that’s what I tagged her as at first. She was super clingy and acted like one of the Canterlot wretches. But I guessed wrong.” “How so?” “Well she threw cake at me and proceeds to call me names that I will admit were kind of true.” “So a normal day” said Wolf smiling “Yup” Blueblood in his best country accent Neither of the two could hold back there snickering at that and proceeded to laugh until both couldn't breathe. They both calmed down there laughing and continued there talk. “Well anyways how are you-“ “Blueblood, who are you talking too in there?” a voice outside the closed doors said “No, Aunty please don’t come in…” “Wait, you never did tell me who your aunts were Blueblo…” All of the sudden a bright white Alicorn along with a smaller dark blue Alicorn walked in to the room. At first all the two alicorns saw were there nephew until they looked over at bed he was standing in front of. They both saw the colt sitting there staring at them with cold dead eyes. They saw the scars and the gaping hole in its cheek and both could not help but recoil in shock and disgust, even if it was barely noticeable. “Aunty” Blueblood tried saying in a pleading tone “I need you to leave right now.” Celestia recovered from her shock first and looked at Blueblood with a questioning glare “Who is your friend here and what do you mean we have to leave?” “Celestia” Blueblood said a little more forcefully “I am asking you please leave for your own safety.” As blueblood was saying this he was moving toward the two trying to push them out the door. Luna noticed this and acted how a thousand year out of date Alicorn would. By pushing back… “We will not do that nephew. We were told to talk to every child in this hospital and we will do just that.” Luna said punctuation those last words by taking a step around Blueblood. “Plus, we are the Princesses that control the celestial bodies what do we have to fear from.” She said smiling smugly before looking at Wolf. If she took the time to look at the colt as she took those steps toward him instead of thinking so highly of herself she would have backpedaled to the door. Standing in front of the bed she looked at the colt more closely this time looking at each one of the scars and noticing something odd about them. Some looked like it there we made by cruel butchers and others looked like they were done by skilled doctors. None the less Luna still gagged from the hole in the cheek and permanent white smile from inside his mouth. She noticed something coming down his cheek and upon closer inspection saw that it was blood. For the first time since entering the room she looked in to the eyes of the colt all she saw was… Disgust Hate Anger Fury Rage The colt’s eyes were leaking trails of blood down the corner of his eyes but the blue in his eyes changed to pure blackness; as though his eyes were made of two black pits that lead to the center of the underworld and then underneath it. “GET OUT” Luna for the life of her could not move at all it was as though his face alone was holding her from movement. The anger in his voice could rival Sombra’s and then still stop a raging manticore that had been bitten by a hydra. “GET OUT!!!!” the voice of the colt screamed as though thousands were dying, being tortured, and alone never seeing the light of day. The voice forced Luna to move. She ran out of the room crying and screaming and tripping over her own legs trying to get away from the colt. “LUNA!” Celestia called out to her sister. Due to Luna standing right in front of the colt Celestia was unable to see what she saw but only heard the voice and it terrified her and after living for over a thousand years almost nothing terrified her. Celestia chased after Luna trying to stop her but did not have to take more than two steps out the door to see that Luna had collapsed in to a fetal position. “LUNA!” screamed Celestia rushing to her sisters’ side. “Please… please…” Luna said quietly and slightly twitching Blueblood walked in to the hallway to see Celestia by her sister saying soothing words to her sister. “Is she alright?” Celestia turned to Blueblood with fury in her eyes. “What did that… Child… Do to my sister?!” Celestia spoke with a tone of pure anger. Blueblood just looked over at Luna “In truth I did try to warn you, but you did not listen.” Celestia stood up and walked over to Blueblood her eyes glowing. “I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN! WHAT DID THAT COLT DO TO MY SISTER!?” Celestia’s voice made the air itself feel heavy and the ground shake and windows crack. A voice that would have usually sent Blueblood in to a crying fit made him chuckle which did not help sooth Celestia’s anger. “Let me tell you your answer with a question of my own. In that room there is a colt what race is he?” Celestia was so overtaken by that statement that her anger diminished and she blinked confused. “Well what is he?” Blueblood said raising an eyebrow Celestia’s anger returned just not as strong to make her eyes glow. “Do not test me Blueblood.” “I’m not Celestia; I will answer your question as soon as you answer mine.” Blueblood stated by giving Celestia a cold look. Celestia was a little surprised by how strong willed Blueblood was being due to him usually being scared of even dirt touching his hooves. Celestia but on an authoritative look she had been wearing for a thousand years in courts. “Well since he did not have…” “WAIT! WAIT! WAIT. Let’s do it this way.” Blueblood said waving his hoof in front of Celestia stopping here from finishing her sentence. Celestia wanted nothing more but to destroy her nephew right then and there but years of experience with ponies interrupting her made her able to calm herself down and listen. “Ok, what do you want done?” Blueblood gave a smile like a child that asked its parent to listen to them and they did. “Well, every time you answer a question wrong I will not tell you the answer to it, but I will just ask another question.” Celestia was about to say that was stupid but Blueblood started talking again. “But if you get a single answer right I will answer each of your questions from then on truthfully.” Celestia thought about this for a couple seconds before nodding her head in agreement. “Good. So first question is what the colts’ name is?” “Wolf?” Celestia said doubtfully knowing this might not be correct. “Wrong. Next question is what do you think happened to that colt?” “He was abused as a child?” “AH! So close but the answer is no.” Celestia looked like she wanted to send Blueblood straight to the sun but he just brushed it off. “Next question is what race is the colt?” Celestia smiled remembering that the colt inside the room had not wings or horn so obviously an earth pony. “Earth pony, now I expect you to…” “Wrong” Blueblood dead panned. Celestia was a little taken back by him saying the colt inside the room was not an earth pony when he clearly had not wings or horn. She was about to state that he was wrong when Blueblood spoke up again. “And right as well.” Celestia was at a loss for words for once. How could she be correct and incorrect about the colt in the room being an earth pony? It was mildly confusing at first until Blueblood spoke his next words. “Since you were little right I will give you this. He is like you but only different due to missing two things.” Celestia pondered those words for what felt like hours but could not understand there meaning, until like a spark from a match it came to her. The colt was like her but was missing two traits. He obviously looked like an earth pony but was not and was at the same time. And like a sledgehammer to the face Celestia finally understood. Celestia looked up to Blueblood with eyes of shock. “DING, DING, DING, It looks like she got it folks that boy in there is an Alicorn, just without wings and a horn.” he said all the while frowning but with a happy tone. “I don’t want to be alone. Don’t send me back please. Please. ple….” Luna said quietly repeating it over and over again while shacking as though she was in the tundra. Celestia turned to her sister almost forgetting about her lying on the floor curled up. “I would keep her warm for about an hour.” Blueblood said as Celestia enveloped her sister in her magic. “Go to the palace I will bring Wolf there so he can explain himself and apologize and for the love of you do not let him see Cadence.” Blueblood said while walking into the colt’s room. Celestia looked at the doors as they closed softly and looked back her sister before teleporting to the castle slightly confused by Bluebloods statement about her niece. > Pain > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 HOURS LATER Luna had finally stopped quivering and talking silently but told Celestia she did not remember at all doing any of it. “Sister as far as we know we just remember blacking out at the hospital and waking up in are bed with you snuggling up to us.” “Are you sure?” Celestia said with confusion “Yes sister, we do not know what you mean by we were crying out about being cold and lonely. Is this some type of joke Celestia because it’s not funny.” Luna said looking at her sister as they walked down the hallway to the throne room. “No sister, but let us speak about it later I was told Blueblood was here with his…friend.” Celestia said trying to but the right words for the colt. Celestia and Luna walked in silence until they reached the throne room. The door was slightly ajar and both of them could hear voices inside. “Why the hell did you bring me here?!” the voice Celestia was almost unsure of until the next voice spoke up. “You need to apologize to Princess Luna for almost killing her.” Celestia new the voice instantly being that she had known him his whole life. Both princesses looked through the crack in the door to see Blueblood looking at something that both princesses could not see. “Is she dead?” “No Wolf, she is not.” “Better luck next time I say.” Both princesses were appalled by who Blueblood was talking to. He was talking casually about killing one of the Princesses of Equestia as though it was game to him. Both Princesses were shocked by the next statement. “Don’t you think we should open the door so the two outside can hear us a little better?” The doors glowed a soft blue and opened slowly revealing two princesses with ears to the door that was not there anymore. Both recovered quickly but not before Blueblood could let out a chuckle. “Well I guess this time it’s you listening outside the door and me inside it having the conversation, isn’t it Celestia?” Blueblood said while snickering Neither Princess responded due to them both looking at the guest Blueblood brought with him. The colt looked back but one of eyes was covered by a patch that was bright red. “Hello whores” Both princesses glared at the colt and Luna was the first to respond. “What did you call us?” “I called you a slut. You should know your own job now shouldn't you.” The colt said as though he was talking to a child. Luna was so taken back by his blunt answer that she did not notice the colt walk around her and to the doors. “Wolf, where are you going?” Blueblood said annoyed The Colt looked back while still walking “Getting the hell out of dodge. Got a problem with that” “Yay, I do.” Blueblood took a couple steps to the colt. “Well what do you want me to do Blue balls.” The colt said taking a couple steps to Blueblood. Luna and Celestia, not expecting the joke, snickered using their wings to hide it. Blueblood ignored there silent laughter and said to the colt “Apologize to the princess.” The colt stared right into the eyes of Blueblood for a couple minutes before looking over at Luna. Luna was not expecting what came next. “Sorry for not killing you. I’ll do better next time.” The colt turned to the doors and walked toward them with the decision to leave. “Wait” Everyone turned to look at Celestia who was standing there with a stock expression looking at the colt. The colt turned to look at her with boredom clearly sprayed across his face. “What? You want me to apologize too?” Celestia did nothing at first but then asked him two simple requests “Why do you hate us and where are your other appendages?” The colts face went to shock to anger then taking a deep breath in looked at Celestia with a cold expression. “How about we talk about this over a cup of tea and crumpets or better yet cake since you love that so much fatty.” The Princesses and the colt were sitting at a rectangular table with both representatives sitting on opposite ends. Blueblood had left saying he needed to do something and would post guards to not let anyone in. “Ok, were all here, let me take this off and we can begin.” The colt said reaching up to his eye that was covered. Both Princesses flinched when he tore off the bandage and blood leak out of his closed eye. The colt used a napkin on the table to clean up the blood around his eye and then placed the napkin on the table slowly opening his eye. The eye was still bloodshot but did not hold in the anger as it did before. “That’s better, so then what where your questions again?” the colt said throwing the bandage to the ground with a splat. “Why do you dislike us and” Luna tried saying but could not help but gag at the bandage. “Why are you missing appendages?” Celestia finished for her. The colt looked at the two Princesses with a blank look until his mouth curled in to a smile. “Well were going have to start on the day I was born. Also some advice I will give is that an Alicorn in the womb matures very quickly. By the time they care conceived they have the brain capacity of a five year old. But I am sure you already know this correct?” both Princesses nodded “Well then let’s begin.” FLASHBACK “It’s a colt!” The doctor yelled joyously “YAY!” screamed a white fur stallion with a golden mane. “Ahh- let me-wheeze - see him.” A yellow furred mare with light blue hair said. The doctor gave the small colt to the parents and walked to the back of the room to give them space. The parents looked at the child and then looked at each other. “It’s a beautiful boy, honey.” The father said giving his wife a peck on the cheeks. “Yes he is a beautiful uni…” the mother was unable to finish her statement before two wings sprouted from the so called unicorn. “-corn.” The room was silent until a loud pitched scream filled the air. “KEEP IT AWAY! KEEP THAT EVIL MONSTER AWAY!” the mother screamed throwing her son across the room. Before the child could hit anything the doctor caught it with its magic and pulled it in close to sooth it from crying. “KILL IT! DON’T LET IT LIVE!” the father screamed at the doctor. “WHY WOULD I KILL AN INNOCENT CHILD!” the doctor yelled with a voice that was pair with the royal voice. Both parents looked at the doctor as though he just asked the most stupidest question in the world. “Doctor that… thing looks nothing like us and looks more similar to Nightmare Moon and we all know what happened then.” “The Nightmare Moon incident happened two nights before my birth.” “So what!? It may not look like you but it is still your child!” The doctor said glaring at the two. “DOCTOR IF ANYTHING THAT IS THE REANCARNATION OF NIGHMARE MOON AND WE DEMAND YOU REMOVE IT FROM THIS WORLD!” Screamed the mother “NO!!! I WILL NOT KILL AN INNOCENT CHILD AND AS OF RIGHT NOW YOU TO ARE TO LEAVE THIS HOSTPITAL WITHOUT YOUR CHILD!” The doctor yelled teleporting the two out of his sight but not before hearing the father say. “That child will die!” TWO DAYS LATER The doctor lay on the ground with his blood pooling out of him in front on the hospital surrounded by angry ponies of all colors and shapes. “Finally that Doctor is dead. Now, we can rid the world of this evil.” A white furred stallion came out of the crowd holding a black object. The stallion through the object to the ground and a high pitched screamed filled the air. The black object was in fact an Alicorn foal that was slightly bleeding. The ponies surrounding the child and those who could see it looked away due to either the reasons of pity or disgust. The white stallion pulled out a knife that resembled a large butcher knife and scalpel. A yellow furred unicorn mare came out of the crown and picked up the child and laid it across the ground on its stomach. The white stallion looked over at the unicorn and smiled. “Hey honey, are you ready to rid the world of a menace?” The unicorn smiled and nuzzled her husband as though he just asked her if she would like sugar in her coffee or not. The unicorn looked at the colt that lay on the ground with her magic and smiled a very disturbed smile. “Yes sweetie” The stallion moved away from his wife and moved to the child bringing the knife with him in his hoof. Once the stallion stood above the child he looked over to his wife and told her to lift the wings up in a tone that would have reminded someone of a pony placing an order to waitress. The mare did as he asked and the stallion looked back at the child. Moving the knife to the base of the wings that meet with the back he gently placed the sharp edge of the knife against it. A cold breeze flew above Canterlot , but went unnoticed by the scream of a foal being tortured. Both wings were cut have way through before hitting bone then ripped out. The stallion was now standing above the foal that was unable to move do to the unicorn. The stallion looked at the child with an almost bored expression before stating “The horn goes next” Many of the ponies who were there in the beginning left due to not wanting to listen to a foals screams or cries, but many were still there with either a smile or look of glee in their eyes. The stallion bulled a hacksaw apparently out of the air itself before lowering it to the base of the horn of the foal. Both Princesses sat there with looks of disgust, horror and tears. Luna was the first one to start crying after hearing about the parents wanting to get kill the child only because he resembled Nightmare moon. Then when they got to the part of the torture Celestia burst out with tears. The colt sat in the seat he had been sitting in since the beginning of the story with an annoyed look. “Can you please stop crying so I can finish the story.” Both princesses kept crying as though they did not hear the colt. So the colt just sat there looking at the two. Just staring… “Oh god this is boring!” The colt said silently to himself looking around the room spotting the guard that was stationed in the room. The colt got up from his seat going unnoticed by the sisters who were still holding each other and weeping. Walking over to the guard the guard and noticed a few odd things about him. First off the guard eyes were closed and he could hear a slight snoring noise coming from him. It was then that the colt understood that the guard had fallen asleep standing at attention. The colt sighed and nudged the guards’ ankle startling him awake. “Whoa?” The guard said looking around before noticing the colt standing in front of him. “Yes?” the guard said giving the colt a smile. The colt stared at the guard with a level gaze before saying “When was the last time you slept.” The guard seemed startled by the statement before giving a smile and saying “Well that’s not a problem you should be worrying about son.” They both stared at each other before the colt spoke up again “You are relieved from duty and will go back to the barracks to sleep. Is that understood?” The guard was surprised again by the colt statements before recovering and saying “I can’t do that…” The rest of what the guard was going to say died in his throat as he gazed at the colt. The look the colt was giving him was the same that his commanding officer gave him during his training to become a guard. “Is that understood.” It was not a question as in more of a statement or demand. Out of reflex the guards hoof flung to his forehead with speed that would have made any guard jealous before slamming it in to his head with a clang due to the gold helmet and yelling “YES SIR!” The guard did an about face that if you watched without blinking would melt your eyes from its perfection and left the room taking the other guard that was posted outside with him who was equally tired and was swaying back and forth. The colt closed the door and look back at the Princesses who had both stopped crying and were looking at him with amazement. “What?” The colt said lifting an eyebrow Both Princesses continued to look at him then at each other both with mouths agape. Celestia shook her head and looked at the colt “How did you do that?” “Do what?” the colt said confused as he got back in his seat. “How did you make my guards leave?” “If you let me continue the story you might know.” Celestia and Luna nodded their heads and the colt let out a sigh. “Ok, so let’s speed it up a bit. I was tortured and my horn and wings removed by my parents.” The colt said as though he was listing off a grocery list making both princesses flinch. “So I got away due to one of nurses in the hospital calling the guard. The guards arrived just as my father was about to kill me and a spear lodged in to his skull.” The colt said giving a smile which made both Princesses feel uneasy. “So my mother went crazy and attacked the guards which in turn made them kill her. While the guards were distracted by my parents the rest slipped away into the night while I lay on the ground to die. Well that was until someone picked me up with their magic and carried me away. At that point I did not care if I died or lived I just wanted the pain to stop and I passed out. I awoke in a small cottage with bandages covering my whole body and I saw some milk in a cup that was on a stool next to my bed. I grabbed the cup in my hooves but you have to remember I was only two days old. I dropped the cup before it could even get two inches above the stool and it crashed to the floor spilling everywhere. I stared at the spill for I don’t know how long but I remembered what happened before I passed out. I could not take it and cried. I cried and wailed in that bed until the door opened but still I cried. I felt hooves holding me close but I still cried. I felt a calm heart beat and steady breathing, but still I cried. It was not till I heard a voice that I stopped crying.” “Quiet little one. There is no need to be sad you are safe.” “I looked up to see a mare with a bright pink mane and light red fur. Her eyes reminded me now of a warm clean meadow; of a warm breeze in an arctic wasteland. Her name was Ruby Shy, but I called her mother.” The colt said giving a smile. Celestia sat there trying to remember where she heard that name before, but before she could the colt started up again. “She had a husband as well, but I can not recall his name. All day she stayed by my side as I cried my eyes out and when I could not cry anymore she cried for me. We stayed in that bed for what felt like days but it later years she told me it was only an afternoon.” “I spent three years there learning about ponies and other things never allowed to leave my home. Until one night…” Spark was about to go on with his story but something interrupted him. It was more like someone then something and even then it was somepony then someone. A pink somepony… a very likely to die in the next five minutes pink pony…. “Hey Celestia! I have to tell you wonderful news about Shining Arm……” Silence befell the room as Cadence saw not only the other princesses but a small familiar colt giving here a glare with the intensity of a thousand suns. “Hello, Do I know you?” said Cadence said with curiosity not noticing the glare. Wolf just stared at the pink alicorn with a look of indifference but he quickly moved his hoof to his right eye; then seconds later using the other hoof to cover his left eye. Celestia, Luna, and Cadence all stared at the young colt not understanding what he was doing until Celestia remembered Blue Bloods warning. “Cadence, Leave the room this instant!” Celestia yelled using her RCV. Cadence looked at Celestia surprised that her aunt would use the royal voice on her but understood as soon as the Wolf set his eyes back toward her. Both eyes were pure blood red as though all the veins inside of his eyes exploded with two tiny black dots were his irises should have been both looking as though they were the deepest pit of darkness itself. Cadence stared at the colt with a look of confusion that turned to pure terror once she looked in to his eyes. Cadence stood there in shock unable to move or even to breathe as the colt stared her down. Slowly Wolf’s Mouth turned in to a smile showing all of his teeth and each one sharper then any blade ever conceived. The look in his eyes showed of something that would give even discord a reason to take a step back in hesitation. “Hello Candy. How’s the husband doing?” Cadence stood there mouth agape and tears running down her face unable to speak as he got out of his seat. Both Celestia and Luna looked at each other confused before both catching site of Wolf as he walked toward Cadence each catching site a wicked smile on his face. Without thinking both Princesses horned started to glow about to intercept the small colt before any harm came to the younger princess when they noticed something strange. The colt was not walking toward the Princess as much as walking around her yet still giving that eerie smile. Once Wolf was to the side of Cadence the smile he was wearing turned to a frown as his eyes turned to normal he looked toward the door, but before reaching the door he said one more thing. “I die a little inside each time you replace me.” The doors closed slowly as Wolf left the room and as the two doors met the Princess of love started to weep on the ground. Both the sun and the moon stood confused and worried how such a colt could have such an impact in their niece to make her cry just by saying a simple quote, then growing more nervous as they both thought what this simple child had gone through to make him like this. > I blame drugs > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolf woke to the sun hitting him directly in the eyes and throwing the covers back over him. The princesses had asked Wolf to stay the night and have breakfast with them and Wolf had tried to decline but Blueblood accepted for him by throwing Wolf out of the room and yelling out he would be there at seven. Not the most discreet way of accepting an invitation but Wolf had something worse in mind for declining. Now here he was lying in a super comfy bed covered by silk blankets and a set of hooves caressing his back. “Wait….WHAT?!” scream Wolf as he jumped out of bed and on to the floor. Turning to the bed he saw not one, but two maids sleeping on the bed with very contempt smiles on their faces. “Good at least it’s not a dude this time.” Wolf said smiling while heading toward the bathroom to get clean. 30 MINUTES LATER Wolf stepped out of the shower with a bright pink towel draped around his neck shaking his mane dry; looking around he saw that the two maids were still out and that the sun had only raised a bit since his shower. Throwing the towel to the ground opening the door to see two guards standing at his door with one of their hoofs raised about to knock. The door opened wider and the guards had a full scene of the room and saw to wolf delight the two mares on his bed fast asleep. “What do you to want?” Wolf said trying to hold back his smugness. Both guards were slacked jawed as the one lowered his hoof back to the ground. “Hello?” Both guards shook their heads looked lower to see the disfigured colt and both reeling back a bit. “Ummm, we came to bring Wolf to breakfast. Do you know where he is young colt?” “You totally just missed him he went that way” Wolf said pointing to the left down the hall. “Thank you for the help.” The guard said before leaving with the other guard. “Wow they let anyone in.” wolf said shaking his head and walking out of the room while closing the door behind him. 30 minutes later Wolf arrived to the dining room after walking around the castle about a dozen times passing by a door that said dining room about six times. Cursing his stupidity Wolf pushed open the door and looked through to see that Blueblood was the only one at the table. Walking in Wolf went to the table and chose the seat opposite of Blueblood which was facing toward the door “Morning ugly” Blueblood said casually taking a sip of something from a tea cup. “Morning harpy” Wolf growled back After the greeting to each other Wolf looked around the table to see that there was eight extra places were plates and silverware were set down. He looked to see that there was no food on the table as well. “We were expecting someone?” Wolf said with eye brow raised “Yes we are. You and I of course,” Blueblood said smiling “Then there is the Princess of Equestria along with the elements of Harmony; the extra I don’t know.” Wolf tried to remember who these elements were but could not remember their names at all so Wolf just nodded his head and proceed to wait for the others. And waited And waited And waited Half a hour later “This is boring” Wolf said out loud throwing his hooves on to the table clattering the plate in front of him. “You’re telling me.” Blueblood concluded. At that moment the dining room doors opened fully to reveal the waited arrived of the rest of the Breakfast occupants. Wolf noticed the two Princesses first who were walking in front of the other six occupants. There was a White unicorn that had a mane that wolf had only seen worn by the snooty ponies that roamed around Canterlot, but wolf could see that she did not hold that type of arrogance as the others did. The white unicorn was speaking to a blue Pegasus who he could not help but snicker from here rainbow colored hair. Luckily he did not notice and he was able to calm himself before she noticed. An orange colored earth pony with blond hair wearing a Stetson was listening to what a purple unicorn with pink highlights running in her hair. Both Princesses were speaking to the purple one and both with a look of uncertainty. “Wait, where is the sixth one?” Wolf said silently to himself looking to the group that arrived not noticing the two that were already at the table. All of the sudden Wolfs line of sight was full of pink, blue eyes and lots of teeth. “HOLY SHIT!” he screamed before falling out of his chair. “Hey you shouldn't be saying that you know? But whatever; my name is Pinkie Pie and I like parties and I like cake. Do you like Chocolate cake or vanilla cake? Personally I like Rainbow cake because you never know what type of flavor you will get. Sometimes you get chocolate and then sometimes toenails. But toenails are really bad so I stopped putting them in my cake. Wow that a lot of scars on your body were did you get them? Was someone a big meanie pants that did this to you? Was it the same person that gave you that big hole in your face because it looks kind of gross and…” The pony just kept talking and talking; cutting of strings of what was left of Wolf's sanity. He finally calmed down to hear what she was asking about and he closed his eye concentrating on positive thoughts. ‘Calm down Wolf. She is only a girl who must be criminally insane and the princess are just doing this to keep up appearances to the populace that there caring pones.’ He opened his eye only to close it again ‘I really hate the color pink.’ “Did you get them from a loved one?” The entire room went silent as that question was asked. The Pink pony stood there with a big smile that covered her entire face while staring at the foal that was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. What felt like hours one of the colts eyes slowly opened revealing the horror that lay underneath. His eye was pitch black like the abyss that lies beyond the void; darkness so black that it sent a shiver up Pinkies mane deflating it with a poof. Pinkie fell on her hind legs staring at him with mouth slowly opening in horror. “Do you really want to know?” “N-n-n- no.” Pinkie stuttered fearfully “Good. Now go away.” Pinkie ran so fast back to her friends that she left a cloud of dust that looking strangle like here in her place, but one quick look from wolf sent even that running. The room was deathly quite as Wolf closed his eye then opening both to show that both looked completely normal and not something that came from the abyss. Blueblood stayed in his seat staring at the seen unfold before him with a neutral expression until the Pinkie went back to her friends. Once she returned he could not hold back a snicker which turned into full blown laughter. Laughing so hard he fell out of his seat while Wolf got his seat back up and sat down on it giving his friend a grimace. Once Blueblood got control of himself he got back up from the floor to look over at his friend with a smile. “Thought no one could get past you?” “Buck off you wanker” Wolf replied coldly. “Rainbow Dash!” All of the sudden the blue Pegasus landed on the table crushing some of the plates and spilling over the drinks. “Who do you think you are scaring Pinkie Pie like that!?! I have half a mind to break your face in foal!” “OK, let me stop you right there you wanna be lesbian.” Wolf said loudly with a smile. The room went silent as Wolf finished that statement. The crickets in the room went off at that moment sensing the tension in the room. A fire little inside the Blue Pegasus eyes before she spoke again. “What did you say foal!?” “I may act like a child, having the form of a child , and sometimes revert back to my child like mind but if you ever, ever call me foal again I will personally find a way to rip off your wings in the most painful and slowest way possible.” He respond back with his eye twitching Rainbow snarled and took a step forward. “It’s true.” Blueblood said getting the attention of everyone in the room “I have seen him do things that would make the fur on your back to stand on end and to puke your stomach up.” he said giving a small smile to Rainbow. “Well then, I guess we should all meet together.” A voice behind Blueblood said. Looking toward the door everyone saw to their surprise (except for two princesses) Prince Shining Armor.
