//------------------------------// // . . . Will Take You // Story: Wings Of Darkness . . . // by Moniker //------------------------------// Wings Of Darkness Trotingham Pip's house . . . It's been a year since Pip was attacked by that werewolf in Trotingham. His brother the only one who saw it was the only who believed it. Now, Pip's brother's being put into a sanitarium. With this Pip's parents decided to move to Ponyville. "Pip my dear!" his mother called from downstairs. Pip ran downstairs in a normal fashion as he lifted his saddlebag off the doorstep. "Yes Mum, is something wrong?" he inquired innocently as he got ready to go out to school. "When you are done with school, you are to come home at once, you got it?" Pip's mother asked tilting her head to the left. Pipsqueak nodded fine with this. "Got it Mum, see you," Pip ran to school quickly making sure he closed to the door behind himself. Unknown . . . Seth sat on the throne custom made by him with the dead ponies he's found. "Sir, it's been a year, can you remind me why we must wait?" Shade inquired he's not been part of Seth's armada for too long just under a month, that is, not counting the year he was waiting for his chance. Seth glanced at the werewolf. "This comes only once a damn year Shade!" Seth was a short tempered man used to live a normal life. Living amongst ponies every day isn't all that great. Seth crossed his arms. "Once a year, that's it?" Shade giggled soon followed with a sharp smack to the ribs with Seth's signature weapon; shadows. Seth groaned angrily as he brought his back to the seat. "Send White Wing in." Seth simply stated gesturing one hand keeping his other hand covered with his trench coat. "Yes, Master." Trotingham High . . . Pip ran through the door only to bump into a large burly earth pony. "Hey Pipsqueak, why don't you watch where you're going?!" the earth pony's name was Shiver Shame the school bully. Pip sees him as a cliché to most bullies. Pip ignored him seeing as it worked he walked to his friend Rim Crypt the only other unicorn blank flank in his school. "Hey Rim Crypt!" Pip said rushing to his friend's side smiling ear to ear. Rim sighed. "No Pip, I still can't believe you saw a two legged figure. It could've been anything, it's been a year, get over it," Rim Crypt turned away beginning to get fed up with the constant talking about that hairy two legged figure. Pip frowned. "Fine," Pip has gotten nothing more than a chuckle from Rim ever since that day he told him about that incident. Trotingham Pip's house . . . Pipsqueak did as requested and returned home as soon as class was over. Pip walked to his mother as she seemed to have something to say. Pip's mom looked at him. "Honey, Dad's being transferred to Las Pegasus, so, we're moving to Manehatten." She expected a angry fit or a whine to stay in Trotingham. No, he was perfectly fine with it. "Manehattan! What an adventure!" Pip exclaimed as he smiled gleefully. Pip looked to the window and saw a two legged figure with wings. Pip dropped everything and ran to the sight nothing was there however. Unknown . . . Seth tapped his fingers on the arm rest. Suddenly a white figure appeared. "Well, White Wing what are you up for?" Seth inquired looking at White Wing extended his dark gray angel wings. "First, didn't I say my name is Will?" Will crossed his arms in anger. Seth gave a sudden squeeze to Will's hand with his own shadow. "I know White Wing. Anyway, what's the deal with Pip?" Seth's crimson red eyes felt like he was staring into Will's soul. "Seth, Pip has family. What should I do?" Will isn't one to pick a fight too often. Seth slapped his face with one of his hands. "Kill them." Seth flatly stated. He gained a nod from Will, he was unsure he could do that. Will was an orphan just like Pip would be, if Seth isn't taking him. Trotingham Pip's house . . . Pip's mother was surprised with the happiness on his face. "Well, you can visit your brother. Just don't lie like him got it?" Pip's mother inquired she's not sure if he should be going to visit his brother but, their leaving soon. "Thanks Mum!" Pip leapt to his hooves and began running to the sanitarium where his older brother was. Ever since that day he was always telling ponies about it and was deemed crazy for thinking he saw a two legged figure covered in hair and almost killing his little brother. Trotingham Sanitarium . . . Pip walked up to the nice receptionist. "Uh... my brother's in here." Pip simply said the receptionist smiled recognizing the colt's face. "Oh yes, follow me," she said watching as Pipsqueak followed the young mare to his brother's room. A loud click was heard as the door opened and there stood his older brother an almost perfect spitting image of Pip, or, maybe it's the other way around. Almost is that his coat is brown and his spots are white. "H-Hey bro," the older brother said nervously shifting his eyes back and forth. Pip saw this wasn't actually unnatural, ever since he began visiting him he was shaky like that. Pip let out a warm smile as he began to speak. "Hey bro, Mum, Dad, and I are leaving for Manehattan. So, I guess this is goodbye," Pip heatedly admitted. Pip's brother could care less at this time. "Of course, please, enjoy yourselves in Manehattan. I'll contact you when I get out of here." Pip heard hooves click. "Visiting is over I am so sorry." Pip then followed the mare closely out the door. Unknown Will walked to Seth with little on his mind he began to speak. "S-Seth, I-I was thinking: What about if we don't attack the colt. Only, observe him?" Will sheepishly smiled and a frown formed on Seth's face. "Just get that colt. NOW!" Seth leapt to the air surprising Will with a quick choke hold for a moment. Will has had less than an exhalent life this is the first time Seth's called upon him that wasn't about being his butler. Will's parents died and he was orphaned until he was given a job with Seth. He has no idea what makes Seth so interested in this colt but, whatever it is he wants that colt. And Will has to kill Pip's parents. He's going to do it at night that way no-pony will see Will. Trotingham Pip's house . . . Pip lay in bed drifting off to sleep when something was heard something that dragged through the walls even though it was muffled. Pip shot up. "What the heck was that?" he pondered whether he should go to the source or just stay there. Pipsqueak chose his answer and got to his hooves and grabbed another toy sword. Pip crept to the bedroom of his parents and saw something horrid; his mother on her bed blood soaking the bed. Pip soon saw a two legged figure glance at him as he held a knife in his spun around the room. The figure halted and looked at the colt. Something felt wrong about this. Pipsqueak's eyes were welling with tears; Pip's face showing true fright at the supposed Dark Angel. Something soon snapped at Will as he walked up to the colt and embraced him tightly letting the colt cry to his heart's content. "Shh, shh. It'll be OK." Will assured as he hugged the crying colt trying to get out of Will's hug. Then, Pip saw a tear roll down Will's cheek. "Shush Pipsqueak, I'm Will. I didn't want to, trust me. It's Seth . . . it's a long story." Unknown . . . Seth looked through using shadows and saw Will and Pipsqueak hugging. Seth ground his teeth. "Well shit." Seth let out a sigh of anger. "Guess if you want something done right, you've gotta do it yourself!" Seth looked back at the skull covered book. "We'll have him soon enough." A smirk came across Seth's face as his eyes began flowing black out of the sides of the sockets. Seth's hand began to glow black. "We'll meet again Pipsqueak. This time, you will be caught Pip."
