"Violet Arrow, how expected to see you here." Came a voice from behind me. It was familiar.
I turned to the source of the voice to find the source of all my problems: Fear.
"I thought that I had dealt with you already." I said, backing away a bit.
"Did you really think it would be that easy?" He asked me, tilting his head to the side.
"Of course not, I didn't think you'd have the guts to come back." I challenged him.
He simply responded with a chuckle. "Why would I not when I could still feed off of your fear?"
"You won't hurt my family, Fear. You'd have to kill me first."
"That would be simple and not even require any effort." He said, reaching towards me and wrapping a tentacle around my neck, squeezing me tightly. He then lifted me up and brought me closer to face him. "You see? No effort whatsoever. If I kill you, your friends and family will be easier to kill."
"You really... believe... you can... win?" I asked, gasping for air.
"Of course, I'm killing you right now. And after I'm finished with you, I'm going after everypony else you have ever cared for." He said, squeezing me tighter than before.
"Not today." I felt myself changing again, but not like before into my enraged form. But something different.
I placed my hoof on his tentacle that was wrapped around my neck. He screamed in pain as it burst into flame and he dropped me to the ground. I walked up to him slowly and simply looked into his eyes. He looked back at me with a new expression in his eyes.
"It seems that even you can feel fear sometimes. I can see it in your eyes." I said to him.
"You will not defeat me, I am invincible."
"Really? I just burned your limb off, and you're going to call yourself invincible?" I shouted at him.
He simply stared back at me, I could still see the fear in his eyes.
"Be gone with you, I have no time for you." I said, walking away from him.
"I'm coming for you, Violet Arrow. And when I find you, I will kill you."
I sat up in bed, another dream as expected.
"Are you oka- Violet!" Twilight screamed when she saw me.
"What? What's wrong?" I asked her, panicking a bit.
"You've changed again. Violet, what's going on?" She asked worried.
"I don't know." I stood up and walked over to the nearest mirror. What I saw was very surprising.
I was in a different form, obviously. But my coat was completely white, but that was the least of my concerns. My mane, was completely made of fire, giving off a faint glow. And my eyes, were red. Of all colors they could be, they were red.
"I'm sorry, Twilight. I must have transformed in my sleep." I looked at my hooves, wondering how I managed to pull off a transformation in my sleep. I jumped back in surprise when my left hoof suddenly burst into flames. I held my hoof in place after I realized it didn't hurt, more like emit a warm feeling. I placed my hoof on the ground, extinguishing the fire.
"I guess you have yet another form now." Twilight said, walking up next to me.
"Yeah, I guess so." I slowly changed back into my normal form after a few moments.
"We need to learn more about this. We will research this more later." She said, laying back down.
"Okay, Twilight?"
"Yes, Violet?" She responded, confused.
"We need to find a place where the entire group can stay. The library is going to be crowded if we find more ponies to help us."
"I agree, and I think I know just the place." She answered.
"Really? Where?" I asked, curious about the possible places we could all go.
"Your bakery, it's large enough to have the entire group and possibly more all at once."
"That's actually a good idea. I'm sure Sherbert won't mind. After all, I am the one who owns the place. He just makes everything."
"That's true, I guess it's settled then, we will stay there until everything is over?"
"Yeah, or if we have to come back for anything or have to go someplace else."
"Okay, we will tell everypony of our plans tomorrow. Let them know where to go now."
"Seems like a plan."
"You never told me you owned the bakery." She said, nudging my shoulder, giggling.
"It was never really important, so I never told anypony."
"Can you bake anything?" She asked me.
"Of course I can! You don't expect me to just own a bakery and not know how to bake, do you?"
"Well, why have I never seen you bake?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't really care to."
"Does Pinkie know that you can bake?"
"No, just you and Sherbert."
"Well, you need to explain more to me than that."
"Later." I said, laying my head on her shoulder.
"Fine, let's just get some sleep."
I woke up the next morning to a familiar voice coming from the window. Twilight was already out of bed and most likely downstairs."Hey Violet, is that you?"
I walked over to the window to find a dark blue pegasus hovering outside. He had a long golden mane with red highlights, and his eyes were a golden yellow.
"Night Star? I haven't seen you in years!" I screamed, hugging the stallion.
"Woah, woah. I know it's been a long time, but you're still acting like a little filly."
"Oh shoot, sorry, cousin." I've know Night Star for a long time, as long as I can remember. Even though he was my cousin, I loved him like a brother. "What brings you here?"
"RD told me about you. And I just had to come see my cousin. I wasn't going to pass this up."
"Come inside, just use the front door though." I told him.
"Sure thing, Violet."
With that he flew back out and out of sight. I walked over to the mirror and combed my mane a bit, trying to make myself look more decent. I walked downstairs and found all of the group gathered in the main area of the library. Twilight was already explaining most of the plans for the day when my cousin walked in. I walked over to him and told him to wait for a few moments.
"I need to introduce you to the entire group. Just wait a minute."
After Twilight finished, she noticed me and I motioned her to come over.
"Twilight, this is my cousin, Night Star. Night Star, this is my wife, Twilight Sparkle."
"Nice to meet you, Twilight." Night Star greeted, extending a hoof.
"Pleasure meeting you as well, Night Star." Twilight replied, shaking his hoof.
"Well, why don't you go introduce yourself to the group, cousin?" I asked him.
"Sure thing." He responded, walking off.
Twilight turned to me, "He's nice for a cousin of yours."
"Best cousin anypony could ask for."
