//------------------------------// // chapter #3: questions. // Story: midnight // by gearsteel123 //------------------------------// You come to as You feel warm liquid hit your face. Opening you eyes you find yourself on a chair facing celestia. "Do you know that you've made the biggest mistake of your life?" She shouts, putting an angry look on her face. "Say what?" You ask, feeling a bit surprised that she managed to drag you into a secluded room and dump a bucket of warm water on your face. "You signed a BLOOD CONTRACT!" "A what now?" "By signing one, you must comply. And since alicorns are immortal, you are now also immortal to tend to luna's needs!" "Don't see the bad side yet." "Her EVERY need." "Oh shi-!" you are cut off by the sound of teleportation as you are warped out of your seat and in behind of luna. You did not realize that it meant being immortal and even having to deal with a 'horny Luna' at some point..... Yeesh...... You ask Luna what she was doing for the day and discover that she was supervising a reorganisation of the royal library. Thinking of it, you decide that you may as well look into various different subjects. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whew. You had just went through a six foot stack of books and knew it all. Good thing your brain was like a sponge. You walk over to luna , who was admiring her newly organized library and tap her shoulder to get her attention. "So what's next?" You ask. "Well, I do need to go to the crystal empire tomorrow to study a new gem that was found in a meteorite from the moon. Maybe you could help me pack for the trip. And you need to pack too." "How? Its not like I've got much to bring unless you let me grab some human stuff...." She nods in approval. A while later you enter the vault and walk past the first crate you opened and grab the M2barret. You find another labeled: clothing, average 18 year old size. Being 18 you immediately crack it open and grab enough for a good week in the crystal empire and head back. Bolting through the halls with a ton of clothing and a gun might seem strange to most ponies, but hey! You are the soul human of equestria. Strange is your thing. As you open the doors to luna's quarters and find a small suitcase. Yeah. Way too small. Luna then explains that they use expanding pocket dimension technology to hold anything that will fit through the opening. You stuff everything into it and zip it closed. Man. The crystal empire sounds nice..... You drift off to sleep as you take a seat on luna's bed...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *WHAP!* A hoof makes contact with your face as you snap back to reality. "How could you?!" Screams a voice that you instantly recognize as Lyra's. She picks you up with her magic and looks you dead in the eyes. "What did I ever do to you!? You've been stalking me her since I arrived in equestria!" You shout angrily. "I was going to marry you and make you my love. Forever. I was going to use a forrbiden spell to make us immortal. But now that you have signed that blood contract, I can't do that." She says in a slasher voice as she tightens her magic grip on your neck. You grab the retractable blade that you kept on the nightstand for safety and Flick your wrist. The blade slides into place with a satisfying *shlick*. You slash a small bit of her mane off and distract her, making her Lose her grip on you. You drop to the ground and pressure point lyra to subdue her for a second or two as you grab the M2 barret. "Argh!" Grunts lyra as she regains her bearings and powers up for a shot of magic. You dash towards lyra and put her in a hold that you learnt from the books, pointing the pistol at her head. "What is that metal object?" Asks lyra, still using her slasher voice. "Its a gun. Human weapon. It can put a piece of metal into you and possibly out the other side with the consequence of possible death....."you answer with a smirk." Hehehe. You think that scares me!?" Screams the mint unicorn. "If you think that you can take me and make me your love, that you can toy with my heart and make me love you, a phsycopath and stalker, then you a re truly crazy. And if you still believe that, I have no choice then to become your biggest nightmare! Do you hear me?! You will learn to fear a single name! Let me spell it out for you! H-U-E! Hue the fucking human! Now get the fuck out of here before I decide to kill you on the spot!" You yell with pure hate in your voice. Obeying your command, lyra teleports out of sight. You calm down and make another run to the vault. -------------------------------------------------- In the vault you grab multiple objects including: -a folding dirtbike. -another M2 barret and a pair of holsters along with another silencer. - a bunch of clips full of ammo. -a holobook to use as a sketchbook. -and a transforming melee weapon and tool. Carrying all the stuff was no problem with the battle armor since it multiplys your strength by 3x. You then realize the time. It showed 6:00 on the HUD in the suits visor. You make a mad dash to luna's quarters and dump all your stuff into the ever expanding suitcase. You also take off the suit and dump it in. Turning to the door, you find it would take too long to find Luna in the royal court. Thank god for the fact that you learnt parkour a long time ago. You run and jump out the window, hitting the roof below with a thud and sliding down to the balcony on the side of the castle. The courtroom was just a floor below. You immediately jump off the balcony and fall through an open skylight, finding yourself directly next to Luna. Wow. You knew you were good but never that good. --------------------------------------------- The rest of the day is fine and it all ends with you drifting off yet again to sleep with Luna in your arms, feeling her soft breath on your chest and her hooves around your midsection. "Good night, princess." You whisper into luna's ear as you both succumb to sleep.
