“Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 


Quietly closing the door I proceeded down the hall. Making my why down the stairs I saw the Inn much to my surprise almost empty. A few dunks here or there and for some reason there was a Pegasus on the fan. Brew Drink was mopping up the floor. Making down the stairs they let out a small creek, but do to no other sound in the room it could have been a cannon being fire in a library.
She looked my way and said "Hey What'ch Doing up there?" She sounded rather cross.
I made my way down the stairs ad began my defense "Oh I'm sorry I was just-"
"You were just what?"
"Well if you let me finish" I was now a few feet away from her now. Then an Idea came to me, I could just kill her yes. That would be the easiest way out.
Right?
"I was just looking for-"
"The bathroom? You do know that's the oldest excuse in the book right?" She stated a-matter-oh-fact-ly. She also cut me off... again.
I stepped closer "No I was just trying to stall so I could do this" Then I hit square in the jaw. She let out an audible "ohf" as she fell. She tried to get up but I stopped her by place my left hoof on her throat. Rising my right I hit her once more, then again, and again. Her muzzle was missing a few teeth and her eye was starting to blacken.
I looked into her eyes they were a light emerald green. But they looked back as if saying "why". Fear was the only thing that could describe her at this moment. No less than an hour ago she was happy with that stallion that she -more than likely- loved. I slowly raised my hoof and she closed her eyes.

Brew Drink's PoV

	I looked into this ponies- no this monsters eyes. They looked back with their slit-pupils. The red in his eyes showed hate. Hate for what though? Not just a few minutes ago I was happy now this thing was going to kill me out of hate. But why did it hate me? I never did anything wrong. 
Right?
It raised its hoof about to attack again. I quickly shut my eyes waiting for the next blow. I wait first a few seconds. But it started to feel like minutes. I still waited for the blow.
But it never came. I slowly opened one eye. I was met with his eyes looking back. They said something but I couldn't tell what. Sorrow? No Regret? No there was only hate in those eyes. Then its face lit up in a purple glow. It eyes turn an unholy green. Then a flash of white then darkness.

Sombra's PoV

I left the Inn. I didn't look back. Now loaded with a disguises and a few bits I was ready.
I all was had servants or minions to kill for me. I planned traps a thousand year in advance. I had magic that could preserve an empire for a thousand years. But when those all failed you have to take matters in your own hooves. I was heading to palace. If I wanted to kill the princess I would have to go there.
Once I got to the palace surprisingly there were very little guards. Two guards. Two. I literally walked by. How trusting are these ponies of other ponies in a hooded robe? But I better not look a gift horse in the mouth. Come to think of it why would you look in anyponies mouth? Ah never mind it.
The palace was filled with servants doing something or another. There was no order it was chaos! I can't what it become in control once more. But luckily I knew this place like the back of my hoof so it was not hard to find the bedroom. The weirdest part had to be was that no one stopped me! If my guards were still around I would have not made it past the door- no not past the shield!
The door was just all that stood in my way. Once the princess is gone I will rule once more. I'll- I'll kill kill KILL HER! AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!! I kicked open the door.
"Princess thy-" She... wasn't there. "Time has come?"
Taking a look around there was in fact no pony. Just her bed with a quivering mass. That lamp I got for my birthday a- wait what? They kept my lamp? For what reason would they- wait...

Done
A quivering mass under her bed. I slowly made my way over to the bed. "Well it looks like the princess is not here! I think I should look some were else." I ripped of the blankets. "Ah HA! Huh?" There under the sheets was another servant and surprise surprise it was another crystal pony. But she had one hoof covering her eyes and the other hiding something. 
She started spitting out excuses. To be honest I couldn't keep up with a single thing she said. So I did the only thing I could think of shoving my hoof in her mouth. Yet for some ungodly reason she kept talking. It took her a few more second to notice but she soon stopped.
She opened one eye looking up. I released my hoof from her mouth and she began. "So by chance you’re not the princess?"
"No" I stated bluntly.
"Oh thank Faust. Wait. If you’re not the princess what are you doing in her chambers, shouting as well?"
I was hoping you would notice that. I didn't want to do this. "Well you see I..." I couldn't "...I had a very important message for her a-sap!"
"Well why you didn’t say so!" She quickly got of the bed -fix the sheets I might as- then pocketed whatever she was hiding. "I'll take you to her!" she said smiling.
"I thank thee. But we must do it posthaste!"
As we made our way out of the palace she made most bizarre comment. "I better be getting over time for this I was about to take my brake." I really was starting to dislike her.
"I'll make you a deal you do this and I won’t tell anyone that you took from the princess's room. Deal?"
That shut her up. She led me to the... 'Crystal Empire History Museum' she spoke up "Here we are.... and deal."
"Thank you. And yes indeed." I walked inside. The roof was at least half my thrones roof but no the less tall. Like the rest of The Empire it was crystals, Roof, Floor and walls. There was a large banner hanging the first archway past the gift shop. It read 'New King Sombra Exhibit'.
"No words can... just... Ok... how long was I gone or do they really think I wasn't coming back?" Well on the bright side they won't be expecting me to attack. Well at least it narrows day where she is going to be. I then began for the 'Sombra Exhibit'.
