CHAPTER 5

Night Watch sat on the couch in shock from what she just heard. Cass, the love of her life, went to jail for assault. She couldn’t believe that a such a sweet cult like him did a thing like that. But then again.. that was 6 years ago and he grew up in a very tough part of the city.

Night Watch turned her head toward the bedroom door that Cass had stormed into. With a sigh she walked towards the door stood in front of it and began to knock on it…. No answer… she knocked one more time… still no answer.

With another sigh she began to speak “Cass… I know you probably want to be alone right now, and I don’t blame you. But Cass, I need you to know this what you did was 6 years ago, doesn’t change a thing! I still love you with all my heart and that will never change! You were young and scared back then. And I don’t blame you for keeping this a secret… I would want to forget about it as well. So can you please come out so that we can talk about this?”

A couple of second went past but still no answer. Night Watch took a deep breath and grabbed to door handle, twisted it and pushed it open

“Cass?” She asked as the door opens. With a quick look around the room he was nowhere to be seen “Cass?!” She asked again in shock with her eyes still darting around the room.

With her eyes still scanning the room she noticed to the window was wide open. Night Watched rushed to the window to look around side to see with there was any of her coltfriend “CASS!!” she shouts again out of the window.

--

You walk through the forest near your home, kicking small stones and snapping twigs as you walk past them trying to get your anger out. As you walk you mumble to yourself

“That stupid, arrogant, self centered, self loving, egomatic, S.O.B, prick! Who the hell does he think he is!”

You continue to walk with your head down as you still continue to curse to your hearts content. As you walk you bump head first into a tree

“OW!!” You shout as you rub your head “Stupid tree” You say as you look up and down the trunk of the big wooden perennial plant.With a shake of your head you walk around it to continue your thought, but only to stop.

You get another rush of anger flowing through your body thinking about what happened with Moon Side. In an outburst of rage you pull your hind legs back and, with a grunt, kick the tree as hard as you can, making it shake in the process. With a couple more kicks to the tree you sit down to catch you breath from that small fit of rage.
“That felt good” You say with a satisfied sigh.

You stay sitting down for a couple of minutes until you regained your breath and stand up to continue on your walk.

As you’re walking you realise that you have no clue where you’ve wandered of to. You look around to see if you can see anything familiar but nothing rings a bell.

“Awhh damn it” you say as your ear drop to the side of you head

With another sigh you extend your wings and flap them to lift you high of the ground and above the trees. You look around to see nothing but an endless forest of dark tree. Of in a distance you see a small building. With a squint of your eyes you can just make out the building as the clock of Callingwood

“Wow I am out further then I though” you think to yourself and you hover in the air with you arm crossed.

Suddenly the sky above starts to turn slightly orange and gradually starts to get darker. With your arms still crossed you turn yourself around to see the sun is starting to go down. For a while your mind just goes blank as you watch the big ball of gas slowly goes down.

Then suddenly a thought just dawned on you… you didn’t say anything to Night Watch before leaving

“OH CRAP!!”

--

Night Watch paced around the house waiting for Cass to walk through the front door. As time ticks on, and the sun goes down, she starts to gets more and more worried as she starts to think that something terrible could've happened to him. Not wanting to wait to find out see rushes out the door and into the street looking for someone to help her.

As she runs through the street she spots a pony that could possible help her. The co-captain to Moon Side, Dim Cloud, who happens to be on watch duty tonight.

“DIM CLOUD!” Night Watch shouts as she runs towards him

“Woah! Night Watch?! What's going on? Are you alright?” He asks as Night Watch stops in front of him

“No I’m not alright!” She says “It’s Cass! He left this Afternoon and hasn’t returned and I’m really starting to get worried!”

“Okay! Okay!” Dim Cloud says as he tries to calm her down “Do you have any idea of where he might of went?”

Night Watch only respond with a shake of her head “But he might have gone into the woods”

“Alright. We’ll send out a search party for him” As he finishes he blows a whistle signaling for the team for the night to fly over to him.

Within a minutes a team of 6 bat ponies form a line in front of their captain.

“Alright listen Team!” Dim Cloud beings “We’ve got a missing pony on our hoofs and we need to find him ASAP!” All the ponies nod “He goes by the name of Cass and he might be in the woods so that is the first place we shall look” The search party team nod again “We’ll split the woods into four sections and have 2 ponies in each section and I’ll take to the sky and circle around the forest” again they nod.

After making their teams of 2 the co-captain says “remember blow your whistle once if you find him and twice if there's a problem” the teams nod again and all fly off into different direction.

Before Dim Cloud could fly off Night Watches says “I’m coming with you!”

“No” He shouts stopping her she could extend her wings “We need you to-”

“I’m a captain as well Dim! And this is my boyfriend we’re looking for and I’m coming with you!”

With a sigh Dim Cloud nods and flies up into the night sky with Night Watch following him.

--

As you fly towards you town with the moon being your only sauce of light. You notice something in the distance heading towards you. It looks like two balls of light floating in the night sky. You squint your eyes to see if you can make out what they are. As they come closer you notice that they are in fact lamps. You can also see two figures holding said lamps and they are coming towards you at a very fast pace.

The two figures holding the lamps seem to be wearing the same type of armour that Night Watch wears during her shift

“Guards?” You say to yourself “what are they doing out here?”


Soon the two guards stop in front of you making you stop in your tracks as they look at each other. The two guards were a male and a female. You start to wonder why they’re here and talk to each other right in front of you.

“Are you the one who goes by the name of Cass?” The female one ask

“Err yeah?” you reply

With a nod to each other the male guard pulls out a whistle and blow into it making a loud high pitch sounds that could be heard from a very long distance.

When the whistle went off that could only mean one thing… you're in some deep trouble! As the female one glided over to you, out of instinct you fly down to the trees to try and get away from her.

Once landing in the ground you run like hell through the forest in some hope that you would be able to get away from them.

“Cass wait!!” She shouts as you continue to run

You suddenly hear the whistle sound twice in a row, which could only mean one thing… you've but yourself in even more trouble. In hindsight running away from guards probably wasn't the smartest idea you've ever had.

“Cass!! Come back!!” You faintly hear, meaning that you’re starting to lose them

As you continue to run to suddenly see a big rock that will be a good enough hiding place for while until you’ve completely lost them. You slide to stop and jump behind the rock and tried to keep your breath as quiet as possible.

Four pairs hoofs can be heard hitting the ground close to where you’re hiding. Taking a risk you peek out from behind the rock to see the female guard looking around for any sign of you.

“Cass!” She says again “We’re not going to hurt you! We’re a search party looking for you!” you raise your eyebrow as she says this “Night Watch is really worried about you Cass!” Your heart sank as she says your girlfriend's name “Cass, just come out so we can get you back to Callingwood”

You feel like an absolute idot. Not once did you even think about how Night Watch must felt during your little fit of rage. The only time you did think of her was when you finally calmed down. With a big sigh you were about to step out from behind the rock until you feel a tap on your shoulder.

You look to the sauce of the tapping to see a big stallion in guard armour looking unimpressed with you. You recognise this guard. With a chuckle you say “Hey, Dim Cloud”

“Hello, Cass” he says in a very monotone manner

Grabbing you by the arm he pulls you out from behind the rock in front of all the guards that were chasing you earlier.

“What the hell were you thinking, Cass!” Dim Cloud shouts at you “Disappearing without telling Night Watch and running from guards!” You don't say anything except you just put your head down in shame.

With a big heavy sigh Dim Clouds look at the guard around him and says “alright let go back”

--

After a short flight back to Callingwood you didn't say a word to the guards, not even to the ones who were trying to sympathies with you. The only thought that was on your mind was how Night Watch was going to react.

Once you touch down on the surface on the town’s dirt.

“CASS!!” Shouts a very scared voice

You look up to see Night Watch running towards you. You watch as she gets closer and closer until..

SLAP

You feel a very sharp, stinging pain around your cheek. Rubbing your cheek, trying to smooth the pain a little, you look at Night Watch who looks at you with a very angry look, but the tears in her eyes.

“You stupid idiot!!” she says yelling at the top of her lungs “Why in Equestria would you ever do such a thing!” you continue to rub your cheek as she continues “Not even telling me that you were going and exiting through a window! Did you even think at all how I wound react to you suddenly disappearing!” you then notice that a tears starts to run down her face

She suddenly wraps her arms around your neck and gives your the biggest hug you have ever received from her.

“Don't you ever do that again!” She says with a shaky voice as you feel some tears running down her cheek and onto your neck “You had me so worried”

Swallowing the lump in your throat you wrap your arms around her and pull her in tight.

“I'm so sorry” you whisper in her ear as some tears start to escape your eyes “I'm so so sorry”

You continue to hold her as you let some tears run down your face, and repeatedly apologise to her.

Night Watch counties to cry into your fur for a good minute or so until let's go from the hug, but continues to hold your hoofs in hers. As you lookin into her eyes, getting lost in them once again, she gives a quick kiss on the lips before pulling you into another

“I'm just glad you're safe”
