//------------------------------// // Little by Little // Story: Her Child Of The Night // by Thefastspark //------------------------------// The next morning, Twilight was reading down a scroll sent by a noble. It was from Phillydelpa "I am sorry.. But we cannot upon now accept your request for movement, for as you have not paid your 50 bit monthly pay due last month. When you have the proper amount of bits, please send me another letter then we shall se what we can do." She read out while using her Tarn and quill to write it out. As she was finished, she put a Canterlot gold ring in the middle and sent it with her magic. "Mmmmm.. It's good.." He said As he ate his oatmeal with a touch of cinnamon in it. He closed his eyes in harmony, moaning with taste. Prince BlueBlood trots by Drake, with his mane all messed up. He looked like he just came out of bed. "Hee hee! You look like you just slugged out of bed!" BlueBlood glared at him. "Quiet you." BlueBlood said sternly. This didn't bother Drake as he lived through BlueBlood's taunts and name calling. "There's a comb in the bathroom." Drake said reminding him. BlueBlood sighs irritated and trots up to him. "Listen freak.. I have lived here more longer then you have.. I KNOW where everything is. Now.. Don't bother me." Drake knitted his brows. "My name isn't FREAK.. My name is Drake." Drake said growling. Twilight took notice of this got up an spear red the two with their magic. "Ok... BlueBlood. First, be more nicer to Drake.. He already is having a hard time around Equestria. He is also going to be living here for a Long time so get over it. Drake.. I know BlueBlood isn't nice to you, just don't go or talk to him. We clear?" She asked after finishing her lecture. Drake nodded. "Yes Auntie Twilight." BlueBlood groaned. "Fine. I don't really care." BlueBlood said as he stormed off. Though; Drake has gotten used to him... Somewhat. Twilight ruffles Drake's hair. "Don't mind him sweetie. You were just trying to help out. But, I still get on to him to stop calling you 'freak'. "I really wish he would too. It hurts my feelings." It really did, it was enough rumors were going around but.. BlueBlood his own uncle callin him a freak? Now it hurt him more. "Drake. Don't worry about it, you're going to start school in a week. Aren't you excited?" She asked with a gleeful smile. "I am actually. I can't wait to make some friends. Actual friends." Twilight nuzzles Drake's face. "That's good. I'll help you at anytime with your homework." "Yay! Thank you Auntie Twilight!" Twilight's heart melted. He is such a wonderful, kind human. "Oh and Twilight? C-Could I ask you something?" Twilight raised a brow looking into Drake's eyes. "What is it sweetie? I'll try to asnwer as best as I can." Drake knew that Twilight was good with magic, especially her magic training when she lived at Ponyville, in the Sweet Golden Oaks library. "Of coarse Drake, many be your Ice necklace could use a touch up on training." His eyes lit up. "Thank you Auntie Twilight! You are so nice to me!" He exclaimed hugging her. "Oh it was no trouble Drake.. No worries at all!!" Drake finished with his breakfast, a maid came and cleaned it up for him. "Thank you misses." He said smiling at the maid. "No worries your highness.." Drake sighed with a smug. "Just call me Drake, it's kinda weird when ponies call me that." "Thank you.. Drake." She bowed her head and trotted off with the plate. "Drake.. Are you ok?" A voice rang out as he turned his head, seeing Celestia with a few bruises marked on her fur and head. Her right wing held a bandage, it was a pure white wing cast. Twilight's face pulled a wide smile. Seeing her mentor not too badly injured.. Except for the wing. "Auntie Tia!!" Drake exclaimed rushing his way over to Celestia. Hugging her foreleg crying on it.. "I thought you were gone!!" Celestia's lips pulled back into a smile. "Oh sweetie.. I would never abandon you like that.. And I see the necklace worked. "It's a amulet!" Drake corrected her because he thought necklace was more of a mare Thing. "Oh alright sweetie. Your Amulet.." She said rolling her eyes, as she nuzzles him. Drake wouldn't let go of her leg, he wa so happy she was ok. "I can take him off your hooves Twilight.. Thank you for taking care of Drake." Twilight shook her head. "He was no trouble at all! I'm glad you're ok.. Exceptionally." Celestia levitated Drake onto her back, but he just clung to Celestia's back neck. She chuckled as she looked down on Twilight. "You have my upmost thanks for caring for Drake." "Where's Mommy??" He asked Celestia. "She's still trying to heal at the medic wing. Don't worry she'll be ok I promise." "Ok Auntie Tia.." He gently snuggled his head into her fur, warm as ever. "Sweetheart.. You need a bath.. You haven't bathed in a couple days." She said as she turned her body.. "Like I said Twilight.. Thank you.." They begin to trot off, Celestia clearing her throat. "Sweetheart.. Want to try the high royal areas? It's mostly ment for my Sister and me.. But you are high royal now sweetheart. I should get your own build right away." She said. "Oooo! Yay! I'd love too Auntie Tia." "I need to Shower in case that if there is any kind of stuff sticking onto me." Celestia said as she ment blood.. 2 minutes later, they arrive at the high royal shower area. Where there was no door, but two guards by the stone opening. "Welcome your highness." Both of the guards said in monotone. "Good evening private and Sergeant.." "I want a bath stone Mage for Drake as well.. Once we finish understood?" They salute. "Yes your highness" as they wave at Drake. "Welcome to the high royal bath area.."
