If you were to suddenly find yourself surrounded by zombies, what would you do? Run? Hide? Fight?...Die? How about if after you finally got used to this new life you were suddenly taken away to someplace new. Where nothing is the same as it was before. What would you do then? How would you deal with a new abomination, new enemies, new allies, and a whole new world? Could you cope with the change, or would you fall victim to insanity? This is a story of four who had to answer all these questions. So now tell me.

Would you care to hear an old man’s tale?

My name is Shadowmere. I'm just trying to live my life, but I have a special condition that doesn't let me. I've been running from town to town trying to escape the hate that's been following me since I was small. Any friends that I've had have left me when they learn who I really am. I've been traveling around Equestria with my younger sister Bright Skies. She's all I have left now. I've been rejected and hated in every town I've gone to, but I don't blame them. If I knew that there was somepony in my town that was a monster I would probably hate them too. I'm about to go to a new town maybe it will be different, but I don't expect any such luck. Nopony has ever accepted me or even tried to. I hope I can at least stay here for a while before I have to leave for a new town again.
I'm Shadowmere, I know fear, I know hate, and I know darkness. I know everypony's.

This is my first story any feedback would be appreciated.
Possible change in tags and characters as story progresses.
I now also feel obligated to inform readers that this is not some sort of crossover with the video game, The Darkness. If it was Shadowmere would have a lot more snake tentacle monster tendril things. This idea was derived from my own insane mind before I even knew of the game itself. Though there are some similarities the story is its own.
