//------------------------------// // Looks like Nightmare // Story: Night Wolfe, son of Discord // by wolf smith //------------------------------// Chapter 6 Looks like Nightmare P.1 It’s been three days sense Sunset Shimmer had stolen Night’s crown, but that wasn’t on Night’s mind he was hoping Dark would wake up. KNOCKKNOCKKNOCK “AHH!” Night yelled as he fell out of his bed. “Who the fuck is there?!” Night got up and before he could start to walk over to the door he was stopped by a bright flash of light. Instead of shielding himself from the flash, Night got blinded for a few seconds and when he could see again he saw Discord standing there. Discord saw Night walking around like he was really drunk. “Night, what is with you and looking drunk?” Discord said chuckling. “Ha,ha, so funny,” Night commented as he got his vision centered. “Nice job by the way of knocking me off my bed,” Discord still couldn’t stop laughing at Night. Night stood there, but much longer and he might have to teach Discord something. “Ok that’s it!” Night yelled and grabbed Discord pushing him up against the wall. Discord hung there up against the wall, shocked at what Night just did. “Son what do you think you’re doing?” Discord asked, like when he took over he could fill darkness overtake Night, but again something stopped it. “I’m sick of all of your laughing, a real father wouldn’t do that to his own son and don’t think I’ve forgiven you for what you did the other day!” Night stated before letting Discord go and started to walk out of his room. “I’m going to Dark’s room to see if he’s up and ok,” “Well good bye then,” Discord retorted before heading to his room. KNOCKKNOCKKNOCK “Who is it?” Dark asked before Night came in. “Dark, it’s me Night. Please tell me you remember me,” Night stated after he took a seat on one of the few chairs. “Yea, I remember you, so how’s Discord taking things?” Dark asked. “He’s ok. I’m just mad at him still,” Night said. “So how long before you’ll be able to train me some more?” “Oh.....It might be a few more days, just practice what I’ve already taught you,” Dark said before laying back on to his pillow. “I’m gonna get some rest can you please leave?” “Uh..Ok then, see you later,” Night said before leaving his room. Night was walking to the throne room to talk with Discord, but bumped into something. Night stood back and looked down. He tilted his head to the right and saw a small colt holding his head. The colt was maybe eight or nine, he was an earth pony and no cutie mark. “Hello?” Night asked, he didn’t want to act threatening even for the son of Nightmare. “I-I-I-I don’t taste good,” The young colt said. The colt scurried behind one of the pillars in the room. Night was shocked at the little colt, why run from Night, most knew that Night wouldn’t hurt anypony, but if they got him mad, oh boy. “Now why do you think I would hurt you and what are you doing in the castle?” Night asked before heading over to where the colt was hiding. “Oh come now, why would I hurt” He was stopped by the young colt crying. “Please don’t suck my blood or eat me!” The colt yelled in between sobs. Now Night was really confused. “Suck your blood?” Night could hear the colt mumble something. “So sharp,” “What is ‘so sharp?’” Night again asked. The colt didn’t speak he just sat there crying and sobbing. Night went to one of the freshly cleaned and polished pillars and took a look in it. Night stood there for a good minute before Discord walked by and saw the colt and Night. Night hadn’t notice Discord walk by and stop to see what was wrong with the colt. “Night, what did you do to this young pony....I love it!” Discord said before hearing Night yelp in pain. “Night, what did you do?” Discord walked over to the alicorn who was now holding his jaw as he got closer he saw a small drop of blood come from the alicorn. Discord tilted his head and walked infront of Night. “Night, what happen?” Night stood there and opened his mouth, Discord peered in and saw something anypony would fear. “Night, why do you have fake fangs in your mouth?” Discord asked starting to laugh. “What happened to me!?” Night yelled scaring the colt even more. “Why do I have fangs?!” “Come on Night, stop fooling with me,” Discord stated before he started to pull at one of them with his magic. “Dang Night, did you put glue on them or something?” “OW! Father that hurts, they’re not fake!” Night screamed more. “I don’t know where I got them, but I want them gone!” “Fine, one pair of normal teeth coming up,” Discord stated before snapping his finger and caused a bright flash. After the flash subsided Night poked at his mouth and yelped in pain. “DISCORD!” Night screamed. “I thought you got rid of them!” “I thought I did,” Discord sighed and turned back to the young colt. He bent down and smiled he had one of his hands behind his back and spawned a HUGE lollipop. “Here, just forget everything and this is yours,” Discord stated before handing the colt the lollipop, unknowingly to the colt Discord made it super sour apple flavored. The colt jumped off happy, but about a minute later a disgusted yelp drifted into the room telling Discord that the kid had took a lick from the pop. Night stood there shaking his head. “I need to talk with Dark,” As Night was running back to Dark’s room, Discord was going to talk with Night’s private guards to see if they’ve notice Night’s new fangs. Discord finally found Armored walking back from lunch and stopped him. “Hi Armored, I need to ask you something!” Discord yelled down the hall. Armored stopped and turn around.”Yes Discord, what do you want!?” Discord teleported down the hall to Armored. Armored stood there ready to take anything Discord could throw at him. “Night is different, have you noticed?” Discord asked. “Like what, the fact that he’s becoming smarter?” Armored asked as he relaxed. Discord looked at him and began to open his mouth, but stopped. “Well, was I right or wrong?” Armored said looking at the frozen draconequus. “Yes, but not that,” Discord began. “He's beginning to look like Nightmare Moon, but something is really confusing me now,” “Like what, for an alicorn he’s not very powerful?” Armored commented. Discord stood there with a dumb expression on his face. “Are you trying to say my son isn’t powerful!?” Armored started to back up. “Fuck!” “You know I can make your life much harder than being the guard for somepony who killed Luna,” Discord stated. “Sorry, but what is confusing you, I see nothing or feel anything different in Night, he’s just a pony,” Armored said. “Sometimes I wonder about you guards, how did Celestia even keep you guys?” Discord started. “Something keeps pulling at him, something is trying to get him to turn evil and I think it’s working. Early today I could feel it pulling at him, he pushed me against the wall caused I laughed at him,” “I think you’re just paranoid, Night is kind, but sometimes he does fuck up,” Armored said. “And can I leave now?” “Yes go, get out of here,” Discord sighed. After Armored left Discord thought about going to Dark’s room to see if Night was there, but what if Night was still mad and something happens and he turns. “Maybe I am paranoid.....NAH!” Discord yelled before teleport to Dark’s room, but didn’t go in. He put his ear to the door trying to listen to what Dark and Night was talking about. “Dark, I’m sorry I don’t what to say,” Night cried. “Night, it’s not your fault. Your mother has a stronger grasp on your life right now. That necklace is what is helping her,” Dark said. “I know about the necklace, but why does she want me to turn?” Night asked starting to cry. “Why must it be me!?” Discord was still listening to all of this and before he knew it Night rushed out of the room. “Night!” Called Discord. “Darnit,” Discord said as he walked a bit into Dark’s room. “What happened?” “Well Night was first talking about how bad of a father you are, then we talked about his powers and how something keeps pulling at him and what we are going to do with Sunset Shimmer,” Dark asked. “I’m still thinking about that, I don’t know what to do, if Night falls then I will have a daughter instead of a son,” Discord replied. “Discord!” Dark yelled, he couldn’t believe Discord would give up his only son. “Now I see why Night hates you as I father. I think you need to really think about what is happening to Night right now,” Discord just stood there, he didn’t know what to think. All he was think about is what is pulling at Night and is Dark right, does Nightmare have something to do with it? Discord walked out of his room, not even saying a word. “Why must my life be like this!?” Night screamed from his room. “My whole life has changed. My own father would give me up for somepony better than me,” Discord was walking by the room and heard Night talking to somepony or by himself. Discord stopped, but his bottom half kept walking until he pulled at it causing it to snake back. “I shouldn’t be here, I should move out,” “Night thought to himself. “This time maybe somepony won’t find out, next stop home!” Discord was still listening, but couldn’t hear Night’s thoughts. Discord was fixing to open the door before being hit in the face with it, Night walked out, shook his head and walked on. Discord stood up and looked back at Night before heading into his room. “Dang, what has Night done and what is he planning?” Discord thought. “Shining!” Night called to the pony. “I need to tell you something,” Shining turned around and saw Night, who looked like he was fixing to cry. “I’m running back to my house, Discord doesn’t need me and can I ask you something?” Night asked nervously. Shining was shocked to see this all he thought was. “What the fuck has Discord done now?” “Uh...Sure?” Shining asked still wondering what has Discord done. “I will leave around sunset, be sure nopony will be out and DON’T TELL A SOUL!” Night raised his voice. Shining took a step back and then spoke. “Yea, I got it,” “Good, now don’t screw this up or your life will be harder then what it is,” Night stated then left to go pack. Discord was just fixing to leaves Night’s room before he was stopped by a voice. “I hope Shining doesn’t fuck up,” “Darn it Night, always coming in at the wrong time,” Discord said before teleporting away. Night walked into his room not noticing the flash of light. Night started to pack up a few things mainly cloths, for tonight, food and matches. At about 5:30 Night left for the back door, where Shining made sure nopony was. Night nodded to Shining and left for his home. It wasn’t long before the sun finally sat and right before Night entered the Everfree forest, he bumped into something or somepony. “What did I bump into?” A voice called, it was a mare’s voice. “No time to stop, I’m very sorry who ever you are, but I got to get back to the library,” Night could barely make out the mare looking around for something. “Did you drop something?” Night asked. “I could get us some light,” “That would be useful, I’m very tired right now and I think magic is at the top of my list for what I can’t do right now,” The mare said bumping into a tree. Night gladly powered his horn and the air was filled with a bluish-blackish glow. Night could see a purple mare, but could only see her flank. Night stood there shaking his head. “I’m not dating anypony, not now anyways,” He said to himself. The mare turned back to Night. “!” The mare’s eyes narrowed to a pin size. “What is an alicorn doing all the way out here!” Night tilted his head a but, trying to figure out what the mare was talking about. “I live out here, my house is in the forest, didn’t you know?” Night asked. The mare just stood there in her head all she could think about was. “What is an alicorn doing living in the Everfree forest and why is he not trying to defeat Discord?” “Well...No. I’ve been trying to get a normal life again after mister chaos took rule,” The mare stated, sadly she didn’t know about Night and Discord. “You know Discord may not be the best father, but he’s not all around that bad,” Night may be really pissed at Discord, but he can be a good ruler. The mare’s eye went back to pin size as she started to back up. Her mind was racing. “FATHER! How, who!” “Are you ok, do you need a doctor or something?” Night asked. “I think my mind was just blown,” The mare stated “How?” Night said confusion writing on his face. “I don’t know how to explain, but just with me and I’ll try to tell you more,” The mare said before finding the thing she dropped which was a spell book. “By the way I don’t think I got your name or an intro,” “Well I’m Night Wolfe, son of Discord and Nightmare Moon, nice to meet you,” Night stated getting a shocking stare from the mare. “How are you the son of Nightmare!” The mare yelled, she caught a glimpse of Night new fangs and yelled at the top of her little lungs. “What the fuck are you screaming about, I won’t hurt you. I’m not as much as my father as you think,” Night said, but the mare wouldn’t shut up. “Shut up!” Night levitated the mare off the ground which caused her to shut up. Night stood there wondering what the mare was screaming about. “I can tell you don’t believe me, but trust me why would I lie?” Night asked. The mare floated there cross hoofed. “Why should I trust somepony who is the son of Discord? The one that frozen Celestia and killed Luna,” The mare said trying to look away from Night. Night stood there, not a word coming from his mouth. “He didn’t kill Luna,” This earned a pick of interest from the mare. “If he didn’t then who did?” “I did,” Night hung his head low and a tear formed on his face. The mare hung there, fear and more shook forming on her face. “You did WHAT!” The mare yelled again. the mare noticed one of Night’s tears. “Why are you crying?” Night didn’t say anything for a few minutes, after all that happened today his mother was at the back of his mind. Night could fill the sadness fill up, anger catching up. The mare tilted her head, why was the alicorn crying, if anything he should be happy there aren't anypony that can stop Discord. “Please, you should be happy that nopony can stop you and Discord,” “You don’t know the truth then,” Night started. “Luna was my mother in a different life,” Night’s voice lowered. “So wait,” The mare thought a minute then began again. “Your mother was, oh my Celestia!” “Yes, my mother was Nightmare Moon,” Night couldn’t take it anymore, he broke down right in front of the mare. “Why? Why did Discord lie to me and make me kill my own mother!?” Night dropped the mare and sat there sobbing over the still fresh loss of his mother. “Here you can come home with me and I’ll get you something to help you forget and the name is Twilight, Twilight Sparkle. I was the formal student of Celestia,” Twilight said. She didn’t even see that Night has zoned out, trying his best to get the thought out of his head. Twilight knew if she tried walking to Ponyville with the son of the new ruler, she might have trouble. “I hope this works,” Twilight stated before teleporting her and Night to the library. She went over to one of the walls and flipped on the light, she looked around and didn’t see Spike anywhere. “What, where the fuck are we?” Night said as he got up and brushed one of his wings off. “and who are you again?” Twilight didn’t hear Night as she went up stairs to get a sleeping dragon. Night mind wandered, so much has happen today he thought about what Discord would be doing right now and also thought about if Shining spilled the beans. “Who’s down stairs!” A voice different from the mare’s called down. “Twilight are you pulling my tail?” Night stopped. “Twilight? I remember Discord talking about somepony named Twilight and how she tried to stopped him, but he said that she moved to a different country,” “Spike, do you think I would lie to you right now, now come on I need your help,” Twilight said. “Fine, but he won’t-” Spike stopped halfway down the stairs, out of the corner of his right eye he could see Night looking at one of the few book that were laid out on the floor and saw one of his fangs. “NOPE!” Spike turned around and started back up the stairs, but Twilight stopped that. The young dragon was enveloped in a purplish aura and brought down the stairs. “Twilight, I don’t want to be eaten,” “He’s not going to eat you, if anything we need to help him,” Twilight said letting the dragon go as the got to the bottom of the stairs. “So Night is it, this is my little brother, Spike,” Night turned around and saw the small dragon hiding behind Twilight. “Hello there,” Night nodded his head to the dragon. “I’m not saying a word to that freak, he changed our friends and killed Luna,” Spike said turning away. “Spike!” Twilight faced hoofed, she forgot to tell him not to say anything about Luna or Nightmare. “What, he killed freaking Luna. He should be back on his little throne and make Discord happy,” Spike stated. Night’s anger was building up again, he went over to the young dragon and pick him up with his magic. “I’m one second from ending your life,” Night said. Twilight jumped right into action, defusing the problem. “Night, I’m sorry this is my fault I forgot to tell him about your mother,” Twilight ran over knocking Night away from Spike. Spike hung in the air for a split second then dropped. Twilight got up from where she knock Night off and notice that he got hit on the head. “Oh crap. Night, are you there?” Twilight started. “Spike get me some rags with some cold water on them,” As Spike went to get the rags, Twilight levitated Night over to one of the chairs. “I hope Discord doesn’t go looking for his son,” Spike came running back into the room with the rags and gave them to Twilight. “Thank you Spike. Now I want you to head back upstairs and get some more sleep, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow,” Spike stood there, looking at the unicorn really hard. “Twilight, your color! You have some more color!” He yelled. “Spike, just go to bed. I’ve notice I’ve gotten more color, but right now we need to find out how to overthrow the new ruler,” She looked over to Night who was still passed out. Twilight looked won and instead of dark gray there was some color, but not much. “What are we going to do with him?” Spike asked walking to the stairs. “Not we, but what will Celestia do. If she finds out about Luna, he’ll probably get the banishment or death,” Twilight said to the young dragon. Spike went on ahead upstairs and went to his bed and went to sleep. Twilight soon follow and made sure Night had everything if he woke up. Back at the castle Shining was getting the best of nights. “He did what!” Discord screamed. “He ran back to his old home. He came to me about three hours ago and told me not to tell a soul,” Shining said almost being choked by Discord's magic. “Why?” Discord asked pondering at that fact. “What do you think? You’ve made Night’s life much harder than you think, instead of making him feel better about himself, you’ve just kept making fun about him,” Shining said choking. Discord didn’t even flinch at that, he just kept choking Shining. “I make fun of Night, cause I’m the god of chaos, what do expect from me?” Around that time Armored came walking in. “Shining what did you do!?” Discord turn around and floated Armored over to the wall where he had Shining. “Why must everything you get dragged into start with me?” Shining asked from his bubble. “Armored, did you know anything about this?” Discord asked walking back and forth. “No sir. I was out in Canterlot keeping the ‘peace’,” Armored replied. Discord let Armored go, but kept Shining in his grasp. “What are you going to do with me?” Discord pondered about what he could do. “Oh I don’t know may you leave a normal life, having to put up with my chaos or you can be a prisoner,” Shining couldn’t help but think about Night and what he might be doing. “Don’t you think you should be out looking for Night or something?” “I should yes but,” Discord turned to one of the doors. “I’ll let him come to me. He needs me, without me he’s powerless,” Discord turned back to Shining. “I say I think a few days in prison should make you think twice about lying or hiding something from me. Guards throw him in the cell!” Discord stated before teleported to the throne room. “NOOOO!” Shining tried to get a hold of Armored, but he didn’t hear him. “Armored help!” Armored was going up to Night’s room to keep it safe and Discord was in the throne room trying to figure where Night went. In the back of his mind he thought maybe Night went to his house, but that would dumb. So where could he be? “I need him to fight Sunset, but where the fuck is he?” Discord thought as he fell asleep in the throne room.
