    Even a Princess Has Feelings:Chronicles of Blackbell

Chapter 2


I don't know how long we held the tight hug, but to tell the truth I truly didn’t care. I just felt safe in Twilight's embrace. Under her massive wings and her forelegs I just felt totally safe. I could tell that she was crying a little. I too began to cry but this time out of relief. Relief from the nightmare finally being over and finally I could probably sleep in peace. I was just so happy at that moment....probably felt better than I have ever been my whole life. The nightmare...the terrible memory was now finally over for good. I just had to tell somepony I guess.



After a while of just hugging I finally decided that I should pull away from the hug. When I did that Twilight did the same, but with more reluctance to move away from the hug. When we fully pulled away from one another I looked into her eyes. That’s when I got the thought to ask her a question.



“Twilight.....do you think I should tell my parents about this memory?” I asked.


“Well.....I can’t pick your path for you Blackbell. I mean I could tell you some things that you don’t know. But in my opinion I think that you should tell them because they are your parents and I’m sure that no matter what happens they will always love you in the end.” Those words might have been true...in fact i’m positive they are. But for some reason I just refused to believe that. I think it might have been my age, but I just decided on my own in the end.



“Twilight....lets keep this secret to the both of us ok?” I asked. I was really hoping that she would say yes. It was just....I didn’t want my parents to find out what I knew. I guess it came with the age I was in. Age 16.



Twilight just let out a sigh as she looked ahead of her looking out the window. She seemed to have been deep in thought thinking of what to say and if she would keep the promise if she said yes. It was only a few seconds but felt like hours before she answered.



“Like I said Blackbell this is your path and you get to choose how you follow it. So yes I will keep this between us.” She said as she looked back at me a small smile forming on her lips. I was really happy all of a sudden as I hugged her tightly in gratitude. She just chuckled and hugged me back. We hugged for a few seconds before I pulled away. Then Twilight looked outside again as I did the same and saw that the sun was just starting to rise.



I smiled as I knew what that meant. I knew that my mom Princess Celestia was awake and was now awaking every other pony in equestria. That too had to mean that my dad was awake. He was named “Prince Jerry.” It was cool having a king for a dad since it came with its perks. Being able to have almost anything I want.. But the only thing that was different about my dad from all the other ponies in equestria was that he was a human. Yep a human and in case that nopony knows what they are a human is a mammal that has two legs and stands up straight. They have hands that have these things called fingers that help them pick up or use objects around them without using magic. I know all this because my dad told me. But back to reality.



I looked at Twilight and smiled at her as she smiled back.



“C'mon we better go and see your parents to let them know that you're awake now.” I nodded and with that we both got off the bed and made our way to the giant decorative door that was covering my room from the outside of the castle. I looked back at the window balcony and saw that I forgot to close it. So I did that quickly as a brownish arora engulfed my horn and lit the two knobs of the doors then closed them. I turned around and followed Twilight to where my parents were waking up.



We walked through the hallway for a good bit of time before we came to a stop in front of another big decorative door. Except this one was the most famous one. It had the drawings of the most famous day in Equestrian history. It had a large army of ponies on the door to the left charging down a hill with both my mom and dad leading the charge. My dad his sword drawn out held in his hand yelling in full armor with a chest plate and leggings. For my mom she had a helmet that had an opening to let her horn out. She was in full armor legs covered along with her whole body. Behind them both was the huge equestrian army. Some flying others charging on the ground with my parents, swords out by using their mouths. 



To the right was what seemed to be Discord with Queen Crysalis and her army behind them ready to do battle. I knew all this thanks to the private schooling I got from my own mom and Twilight even sometimes from my dad. I took a deep breath and we walked through the doors. My parents were by the big master window to the left of their bed while they were laying on it. My mom was under the covers except for my dad who was on top of the covers seeming as if he was trying to comfort her. Strangely her eyes were a bright pink color with rings around them.




“Um...morning.” I said trying to get their attention. They both looked at me and gave me a warm smile. Both my mom and dad did. 



“Ah well morning Blackbell and to you Twilight. How are you two this morning.” Jerry asked.


“I’m good.” I replied.


“Same.” Twilight replied back as well. 



“Um...mom are you ok? You look like you were just crying before we got here.” I said with some concern in my voice. My mom then looked at my dad as if realizing that it looks like she just cried.



“Oh well.....it’s nothing that you need to worry about sweetie I just had a bad dream is all nothing bad really.” She said smiling at me. Now I knew that something was wrong with her but I just went along with it.



“Well if you say so......hey when is breakfast i'm starved.” I said. That caused all of them to chuckle at me. To tell the truth I was happy with that.



“Soon Blackbell soon.” Dad said. I still couldn’t get it out of my head that I was able to find out that the mark on his face was a battle scar. The mark it left on his left eye. His eye was clouded over to show blindness and the lightning bolt look it had on him. I caught myself staring and shook my head quickly to get back to reality.



“You ok Blackbell?” Twilight asked. I nodded.



“Yeah still trying to wake up is all.” I replied. Twilight just seem to shrug it off as it seemed a thought went through her head.


“Um.....Blackbell could you go to the library? I’ll meet you there when i’m done talking to your parents ok?” She said. I was a little surprised that she would tell me to go somewhere i wasn’t a fan of but i did what I was told and left the room. Little did I know that from that moment forth certain event would happen that would change my young life forever.
