For a minute I thought that they weren’t dead. Just in a coma or something. There’s no way ponies would kill; they’re too peace oriented as we've always been told to believe. As far as I know the mane six aren’t murderers. But as I reached over and prodded Bill’s chest I could feel the lifelessness inside of it. No reaction from his eyes and it was like his muscles were constantly flexing. Kyle laid with his mouth still open like before he died his thoughts came to a shocking conclusion. Myriad looked like an angel in that it looked peaceful the way she died. She didn't look dead but I know better. The major players in my life are gone; killed by the major enemies in my life.
I’m not going to cry that isn’t going happen. My tear ducts have been out of work for so long they don’t even work anymore. Still the shock of it all got to me. It was like getting an injury and then seeing the cut later and how bad it is. After you see blood you start to freak out. That’s how I felt. Like someone took a stab at me and I just haven’t acknowledged it yet. Truthfully I knew they were dead as I watched the rubble crush them but I never felt the gravity of it till now.
Behind me the conversation with Zayn must have reached the end. I heard hoof steps starting to go away from me. They still hadn’t spotted me but even if they did it wouldn’t matter to me. What would they say if they saw the bodies and I told them who did it? All they would say is they’re so sorry and tell me to come with them. They probably wouldn't even take the blame for it. That's how heartless they are.
My mind raced with the possibilities of what would come next. Where would I go now? What should I do now? Should I leave the bodies here? Am I alone again? Without this fake organization it seems like my life isn’t going to have direction again. I'll have to leave town and drift from place to place as I find ways to feed myself and live day to day. As I was mourning, I was interrupted.
“Wait who are you?” The voice of Twilight Sparkle spoke from behind me. Her voice still hasn't changed from the show. She still sounds like she did throughout the span of Friendship is Mafic. The only difference now is she tries to speak more regal sounding so she can sound authoritative. I know this because I've listened to her on the radio and TV and every once in a while she'll slip and go back to that younger and softer voice.
I turned around to the sound and we met eye to eye. Her pupils, like all ponies, were endless holes something I found kind of creepy but everyone else thought were adorable. Seriously how can people think that pupils that big can look cute? Maybe in the show but the real thing made them look like some kind of alien and not the cute kind.
She was alone now; her friends must have left already. I didn’t respond for I could not find the words to make a remark. I was speechless with a blank mind that won't work when the enemy was right in front of me. I felt vulnerable. This didn’t stop her from speaking.
“Sorry about the startling explosion.” She said. “I didn’t know there were people on the other side of that wall. At least no pony got hurt.” I looked back at my friends all lying side by side. Yeah at least no pony got hurt.
“What are you looking at?” she asked taking steps forward. My fists clenched as she got closer and that anger of mine set in. Bolting to my feet I walked away from the rubble and up to Twilight. I wouldn’t let her see the murders. I would let her and her friends stay ignorant. Why? So when I kill them I can justify myself by saying they purposely caused damage to an unsound building and then didn’t even check if any one was hurt. People will be so shocked that their heroes could be so reckless they’ll throw them away from their list of role models. But first I would introduce myself.
I pulled my fist back and struck Twilight right in-between her eyes. Except that didn’t really happen in real life. I imagined it happening but instead my arms stood still at my sides. If I hit her then she would blast me with magic and send me off to jail. It seems like my logic was again getting in the way. If I acted now then I would never have the chance to act again and then my quest would be over. Could I even kill her? With what my bare hand? How strong is she? Does she even lift?
“Uh are you okay?” Twilight said looking at me oddly. I must have looked weird just standing there. Probably should respond. Conversation might clear my head.
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” I responded smugly. Bitch doesn’t deserve an explanation.
“Alright then, how about names?” She smiled almost nervously. Was I really acting that awkward? “You probably know my name already so how about yours?” I scratched my nose and walked away from the rubble hoping to divert her attention. It worked.
“You know I really could if I really wanted to.” I said putting my hands together behind my back since it was easier to control them back there. Didn’t want to do something I would regret.
“Um come again.” Twilight said confused.
“I was this close Twilight.” I made a pinching motion with my fingers before putting them back behind my back. “This close.”
“Close to what?” Twilight asked slightly annoyed. That wasn’t a good thing. As a princess and one of the leaders of Equestria, she could do anything to me be that crush me like an ant or worst send me to prison. I had to end this quick. I decided I wouldn’t try anything. Too many ways it could go wrong and besides it wasn’t worth it. All that would happen would either I hurt her or she hurts me. Not worth it in the long run if I’ll just be confined to a prison for the rest of my life for assaulting a princess.
“To just being there.” I stammered. “But I don’t think any of that matters now.”
“Wait are you a friend of Zayn?” Twilight suddenly asked. I turned to her.
“Zayn ain’t my friend.” I growled. What made her get that idea?
“Discord mentioned that Zayn had other friends. Are you” she began to look behind her towards the rubble pile. My spine tingled and I raced to block her view.
“Is Discord the most trustworthy individual to trust?” It was obvious that Twilight still didn’t trust Discord even after all these years. What was it seven years? I had noticed it when listening to a human radio station once and after hearing it I started to notice it in their body language. They would always avoid each other and never engage in conversation if the other was at the same place. If I think about it, that radio station was taken down after that comment and more analysis into the interactions of the ponies.
After a quick shift of her eyes Twilight came to a conclusion. “He can lie a bit.” she admitted. I smirked.
“Yup lied to me. Help us my ass.” I paced a circle around Twilight. She was starting to get uneasy. Usually she met humans in public places but I guess being alone and up close could have been unsettling. She shouldn’t worry too much because I don’t plan on sticking around for much longer. I need to get out of this place. Just need to leave and go somewhere other than here.
“You know he really wanted to help.” Twilight said. “That’s why we had to stop him and you guys too.”
“Stop us!” I growled. “There’s only” I stopped myself realizing I was about to tell her about the others.
“I know there are only two of you but there’s one of him. And you humans don’t know of the power he wields.” I stopped for a moment. She didn’t know at all that there were more of us. Did she even now we are anarchists?
“Whatever.” I finally sneered.
“Hey how about you come with us.” Twilight suggest. There was a fat chance for that.
“No.” I growled. Twilight tilted her head in confusion. I’m probably one of the few to say no to here.
Finally she said “Why not?” Almost sounded like she thought my decision was dumb. At this point I had to come up with some kind of lie to get out of this. I saw this coming. It would be easy though; ponies are gullible.
“Because.” I started. “Because… I have to get back to my mom’s soon.” I looked down at my feet so I could hide my facial expression. Didn’t want her to see I was lying and also made me look kind of ashamed.
“Oh. How nice.” Twilight said backing away. I must have spooked her with that last comment. I wonder why? Probably has something to do with bronies. She must have talked to a couple creepy ones before. So maybe my lie had caused some kind of unconscious flight response. I mean there’s no way it must have been easy for the bronies to explain the weird shit in their fandom. An example could be the “I watch it for the plot” joke. I mean that one must have raised a few ponies’ eyebrows.
From outside one of her friends, probably Rainbow Dash, called for her.
“Twilight are you still in there?”
“Yeah just a minute.” She turned her head to answer the call. This was my chance to escape. Behind me I could disappear around the corner. I quickly tip toed around the corner as quietly as possible. Darting around the corner I waited a while until I heard the sound of hoof steps. One thing about ponies is they’re extremely noisy if they’re just walking normally. I peeked around the corner and watched her leave through the huge hole in the wall.
I walked back to the rubble and corpses. My eyes moved over the lifeless bodies. That was a bad idea since it put me in a depressed mood. Actually it was more of a hopeless feeling that came over me. There was nothing more I could do here. If anything this building was just an abandoned building now. No longer my home.
I decided to follow one of Zayn’s advice. Zayn out of all people. I’m going for a walk.
