Chapter 7
Twilight
The sun light shined through the window and it landed on Night’s face. Twilight was up, eating some toast while Spike was eyeing Night. “Spike he’s ok.” Twilight walked into the room.
“I don’t care, he killed Luna,” Spike began. “He should-”
Spike stopped, Night began to move, but just turned over in the chair. The time was about nine o’clock, so really Night should be up right now. Twilight walked over to Night and began in a low tone.
“Night, you there? Are you ok?
Night didn’t move, everything about him was still. Night was thinking about how much he hated Discord and then a Nightmare popped in his head. He started to move, he couldn’t control himself.
“Nightmare I’m sorry, please-” Night stopped moving again. Twilight ran and got a rag soaked in hot water and placed it on Night. He moved again probably from the hot rag.
“Spike, get a letter ready.”
Spike came back pen and paper in tow. Twilight cleared her throat and began to speak.
Dear father,
I will be staying at a friends house for the next few days. Please do not come looking for me, I’ll be back in a few days
Your son,
Night Wolfe
“Thank you Spike, always a big help.” Spike sent the letter off while Twilight took a seat across from Night. “Night must have it hard even for being a prince.” Twilight looked over to the bookshelf and pulled a book out of it titled History of Nightmare. She want to find out how Nightmare and Discord could have meet.
As Twilight was digging in her book, Night began to move again. She looked up and notices that Night eyes had finally opened up. She jumped out of her chair and ran for some water. Night was still waking up and barely saw Twilight run for the water. She came back in with magic in her aura.
“Here you go,” Twilight levitated the water to Night and he drank a bit. “I hit you hard, are you ok?”
Night looked over to Twilight, his eyesight still blurred. “Who....are you?”
“What is your name?” Twilight asked, she need to make sure Night hadn’t forgot anything.
“Night Wolfe, son of Discord....why?” Night asked finally feeling his mind clear.
“Just want to make sure you had no brain damage.” She had a weak smile on her face.
Night looked at her and frowned. “Brain damage?”
Twilight went and took a seat, this is going to be a long day. “When I brought you home, you got mad at Spike and” She stopped and turned to the book floating. She turn back to Night and saw his horn glowing.
“And I kinda knocked you out.” Twilight finished. “Please forgive me.”
Night was busying read the book and just nodded his head. “Does my father know?
“Yes, I just got done writing a letter in your name, hope it was ok.” Twilight was ready to save herself if need.
Night just turned over and yawned. “Yea that was fine.”
“You want a bed or something?” Twilight was still uneasy, but kinda found Night interesting. “I got one upstairs you could use.”
Night turned his head back. “That would be nice thank you.”
Twilight showed Night to her room where she let him sleep. “See you in a few.” Night called while Twilight was leaving.
“Spike, we got some work to do,” Twilight said coming down stairs. “I want to know how Nightmare and Discord meet.”
Twilight entered here library and grab that book Night was reading. She sat down and began to read. She has no idea how many hours past, but when Night got up it was almost four o’clock.
“Hello Twilight, how are you right now?” Night asked walking down the stairs. Twilight jumped in her chair.
“Night, don’t scare me like that,” She said, catching her breath. “You feeling any better.” He mind was racing, why did she even bring him?
“I have one question for you Twi, hope it’s ok to call you that,” Night began. “Why did you bring me here? You know for being the smart one of the Elements, you sure did make a bad mistake by bring me here. If my father does start to search for me and if he comes here you might just die and you know that. So again why bring me here?”
Twilight knew what he was talking about, her mind wasn’t clean when she brought him here. what if he sends Discord here to finish her.
As Night and Twilight were talking, Discord was have one hell of a time trying to find out where Night went.
“Master Disord, letter for you it's from Night.” One of the mail ponies said walking into the throne room.
What does it read?” Discord asked. “I don’t have time for all of this, Sunset is still out there.”
“Night is still here he’s just with a friend.” The pony said then left.
“So you mean to tell me that Night is off with a friend?” Discord asked turning to Armored.
“I guess, sorry Discord.” Armored stated before stepping off to the guard’s room.
Back at Twilight’s home Night was questioning the purple mare.
“Yea I knew that, but does that mean?” Twilight was fixing to question the blue-black alicorn.
“Yea, so what an alicorn need a teacher, problem?” Night asked with a sheepish tone in his voice.
“Oh no, no problem at all,” Twilight said getting up from her chair. “You want anything to eat?”
Night wasn’t even paying attention, he was thinking about what Discord thought about the letter.
“Night? Do you want anything to eat or drink?” Twilight asked cocking her head to the side.
Night snapped back to the real world and turned to Twilight. “Sure I guess.”
“Well I guess I’ll leave him alone for a while.” Discord stated before heading to his room.
“What do you want?” Twilight asked entering the kitchen. “We don’t have much.”
“You want me to go out and get something?” Night asked standing up and spread his wings across the room.
Twilight turned back and saw Night spread his wings. “What is your wing span?”
“Hell if I know,” Night began. “I’m going out for pizza, what do you want?”
Twilight took a seat as Night flew off through an open window, off to get pizza. “Spike, do you think Night is evil, good, neutral?
“Evil, pure evil.” Spike commented before heading up stairs. “I’m heading to bed.” With that Spike was gone into Twilight’s room.
“But-” The slamming of a door stopped her. “Ok then.”
Night returned 45 minutes later with two pizzas in tow. “Ok I got an ‘all the way’ and just cheese.”
Twilight walked over and took a whiff of the pizzas. She hasn’t eaten anything ‘good’ in a long time. Night laid the pizza down a grab a slice. Twilight looked up and stared at Night’s cutie mark.
“Do I have something on me?” Night asked looking back. “Oh, funny I got this when Discord took over.”
“How old are you again, 1000 something, it took you that long-” Twilight stopped herself. She caught herself before she made the joke.
“Go right ahead I’ve heard worse,” Night said finishing his piece of pizza. “Where’s the little dragon?”
“Asleep. You do know he doesn’t like you.” Twilight said putting the pizza up and taking a seat.
Night looked at her. He raised an wing and laid it back down. “Let me guess, I killed Luna, andI’m an alicorn so I can do anything.”
Twilight slowly nodded her head. “You don’t like being an alicorn do you?”
Night also took a seat and looked away from Twilight. “I didn’t say that. How do you think it feels to walk around town and have to keep yourself hidden?”
“What do you mean. Shockingly there’s no books on you.” Twilight commented.
“Your little teacher kept me hidden. I had to go out cover head to hoof.” Night’s frown grew bigger.
“Why did she keep you, she knew about your past?” Twilight asked grabbing another book. “She mentioned nothing of you, Nightmare was your mother, so why didn’t she say anything?”
Night looked back to Twilight. “Well of course she didn’t, she didn’t want the whole nation freaking over cause Discord’s son if living near Ponyville.” He stopped to let Twilight soak in the info then began again. “Nightmare didn’t want to worry with me, I saw all of you take away my mother!”
Night’s anger grew then shrunk, he could blame them. Celestia put them up to it.
“If Celestia knew about you then why didn’t she just get rid of you?”
“She want me to turn on my father and help destroy him,” Night said laying back in his chair. “I’m going to sleep, wake me when the world is on fire.”
“Discord!” A voice called.
“What? Who?” Discord asked standing up.
“I see your own son bald on you,” The voice called again. “Why don’t you know? I’m the one who’s going to turn Equestria to it’s former glory. I’m Sunset Shimmer.”
“What do you want from Night aways!?” Discord yelled at the walls trying to find where the voice is coming from.
“His power. He has more than you think, it just needs to be awaken. I’ll be back soon.” And with that the voice dissipated.
“We are so doomed if Sunset finds Night.” Discord stated.
“Twilight, why don’t you just dump Night off somewhere?” Spike whispered.
“Cause if I do that, then I just doomed everypony,” Twilight started. “He was running back to his old home, Discord made him mad about something.”
“Wasn’t he carrying something?” Spike asked.
“I didn’t notice, did he?” Twilight asked the young dragon.
“Yea he had a small bag, why don’t you check it. It could tell us what’s wrong.” Spike said pointing over to Night’s bag.
“Spike! That’s invasion of somepony else stuff.” Twilight commented looking right at the dragon.
“Hi, you wanted to know what could be wrong with him,” Spike said throwing his claws behind his head. “And besides will he know?”
Twilight looked back over to the bag. “I really don’t know.”
“Just do it, just make sure it looks the same way you left it. While you fight with yourself, I’m heading back to bed.” Spike walked on off to his small bed and Twilight stood there looking at the bag.
“I guess one little look won’t hurt.” She walked over and looked at the bag, nothing special.
Twilight looked back at Night to make sure he was still sleeping then she turned back to the bag. “Here goes nothing.”
Twilight opened up the bag and found some of Night’s journal pages, his spell book, and the picture with the whole group. “What’s this? Discord, Night, Nightmare, and some unicorn....wait WHAT!”
She covered her mouth and turned back to Night, sleeping like a rock. She looked back at the picture to make sure she wasn’t seeing things. “How is Nightmare in this picture...wait” She looked closer at Night in the picture. “That necklace.”
She turned back to the Night in real life. “ The same necklace, but what is he doing with Luna’s necklace?”
While Twilight was wondering what Night was doing with Luna’s necklace, Night was secretly watching her. “How did he even get ahold of Luna’s necklace?”
“Didn’t she say something about selling it, before all hell broke loose?” Twilight didn’t see Night shift in his chair, but he wanted to see hold long it would take for her to find out. “If he wants to forget then why is he wearing his necklace?”
“Now’s my time.” Night thought shifting again.
“Cause I still love my mother,” Night said. Twilight jumped, her hair went spiky almost like a scared cat. “You’re nosey for being a leader.”
Twilight turn around and saw Night sitting in his chair. “I’m sorry, please don’t kill me.” She started to ball up.
“Shhh, I’m not going to kill you. I’m just mad cause you looked through my stuff.” Night commented standing up. He walked over and noticed Twilight crying. Night bent down to Twilight’s level.
“I’m shocked you didn’t try one of those spells in that book. I always heard that you loved new spells,” He stood up and walked over to his bag. “I bought this necklace and that unicorn is my teacher.”
Twilight stood up. “I..I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, Discord shouldn’t have lied to me,” Night pick up the picture in his magic. “That’s Nightmare’s ghost, she’s been following. She start right after I killed Luna.”
“Why do you always wear that necklace? You know Nightmare follows you, maybe is because of the necklace?” Twilight thought out loud.
“It’s not because of the necklace, it’s cause she trying to make sure I don’t turn on my own father,” Night began, Twilight took a seat. “like I said, for most of my life I’ve been in hiding. When I was standing on the balcony with Discord, I could feel something pull at me. Somepony or thing keeps telling me in my head to turn, but I can’t. I keep fighting it, it’s burning me up inside.”
Night looked in a mirror what was in the room and saw a flash. The flash was him, but he was overthrowing Discord. “Fuck, what is going on with me!?”
“Night...a-are you ok?” Twilight felt bad for the alicorn even if he killed Luna.
“I’m fine, I just need to sit down.” Night made his way over to a chair. When he finally sat down he spawned a cover and some more pillows.
“Night, are you sure you’re ok?” Twilight asked. “You look sick.”
“Yea I’m fine, just cold.” Night said, trying to smile. Night knew something was wrong, but he didn’t want Twilight to worry about him.
“Are you sure? You don’t look to well.” Twilight was starting to get worried, the one thing Night didn’t want. She floated a small glass of water to him, but it was colored.
“I said no.” Night retorted pushing the glass away with his magic.
“Night I know something is wrong I can hear it in you voice.” Twilight said. She was at war with herself, why is she helping him?
Twilight stood there for a second then left to go to bed. “Well if you need anything just call me.” With that we was gone.
Night laid there looking at the door, he wasn’t thinking leaving at first and he just couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about the image and whatever it is pulling at him. “Maybe I should just run, leave this place. Go somewhere Discord can’t find me. I’m not made out to be a ruler, I shouldn’t even be alive. Celestia should have killed me.”
A tear formed on his face. “No I can’t cry, I’m strong and...” More tears formed. “Darn it! I can’t stay, I’m an alicorn that can barely do magic and I killed my own mother. What type of monster am I!”
