Chapter 3 - The Dream

I went to sleep after I agreed to help Twilight. I had a dream. In the dream I was trapped inside something. I was in a corner of a dark room looking at thousands of old stone coffins. I was alone and terrified. Then outside the walls, I hear a faint clap and then a chirp sound. My dream then showed me a snake on some steps and I heard someone say "Somepony, anypony, please save me." The dream ends with a falling blue feather.

I woke up in the early hours of morning. Twilight and Pinkie were still asleep. I decided to checked my gear and noted that my shield was on my back and my sword was still missing. I looked out the shops back door and saw nothing, we were still safe. What had I seen in my dream? It was important I know that much. The sound that I had heard was familiar. I sat down and watched Twilight and Pinkie sleep. I felt a certain connection to the girls. Then it hit me, Chichen Itza! There is a pyramid at Chichen Itza. I can't recall the name but when you clap near it, it causes a chirping sound. I'll be damned, school came in handy. I recall that Chichen Itza is in Mexico, so that's where we are going but how will we get there?

I woke up Pinkie. "Good Morning." she said to me with a smile. I woke Twilight up with the same result except for a cute yawn at the end of hers. "Girls I think I know where one of your friends is." I said to them with a smirk. Their faces lit up with excitement and glee. 
"Where, where?" said the happy Pinkie Pie. 
"And how?" said Twilight.
"Well I think It's Rainbow Dash and I think she's inside a pyramid, and I had a vision." I said while answering both questions at the same time.
"So we are following a dream?" Twilight says with a sigh.
"My dear Twilight every person and pony chases their dreams. We just have to literally chase mine." I say to her.
She looks at Pinkie and Pinkie gives Twilight a small grin. "Alright we'll trust you so where is this pyramid?"
"It's in Chichen Itza, Mexico and it's going to be a problem getting there because it's far away."
"Sooo how are we going to get there?" asked Pinkie.
"I have an idea, It's a bad idea but it's better than no idea. Come on girls we are going to see some of my friends."

I decided it would be safer to travel through the woods to get to my friends place. I was also very wrong. During the trip to see my pals we ran into two FBI forest rangers. Why are they so persistent on taking Twilight and Pinkie, not to mention the rest of the girls. We ducked behind some trees to take cover but a pine cone fell near Pinkie's tree.I feared that Pinkie would get caught so I jumped out in the open. As soon I jumped out the rangers opened fire. They apparently had shoot to kill orders. I got hit with around twenty bullets after that Twilight had put up a force field around me. What surprised me was not the fact that I'm still alive but that my gauntlet had come off. My right hand gauntlet had flow threw the air and landed on a tree branch. I looked at my hand to see a large amount of my blood seeping out. "Where is a damn weapon when ya need one!" I shout and just then, the blood in my hand started to bubble. I noticed the blood starting to expand. Was I going to bleed to death? I watch in fear as my own blood started to hover and elongate. After just a few seconds I was holding my sword. I couldn't believe it my sword is made out of my own blood?! 

When I looked back up the two rangers had become twelve. The force field came down. When I looked at Twilight, she and Pinkie had been caught by two more rangers. I was to afraid to move, but it didn't stay that way long. I had look at the ranger hold Twilight and I noticed he had a knife to her throat. I went berserk. My heart had become cold as ice and black as night. I wanted to save Twilight above all other things. I charged, not remembering the speed that my boots gave me. I had dashed a little to the left and when I got directly next to the ranger threatening Twilight's life, time seemed to slow. I plunged my sword into his ribcage at and upward angle so that the tip of the blade came out of his shoulder. I removed my sword from his body. I grabbed Twilight as he fell to the ground dead. I noted the blood from the dead rangers body was slowly seeping out of his body and levitating at the tip of my sword. I was angry at all of the rangers for wanting to hurt the girls. I wanted them gone, I wanted them dead! The blood from the dead rangers body had all gathered at the tip of my sword. I slashed the air horizontally and it caused the blood to cut the other rangers in half. 

There was one ranger left ,the one holding Pinkie captive. He was a younger man, looked to be slightly older than me. I wanted to kill him too and it felt as if he needed to die. I let out a demonic growl. He dropped Pinkie and backed away "Please don't kill me, I promise that I won't tell my commanding officers where you are, j-just let me live." He cried in fear. I set Twilight down and pinkie galloped over to her friend. I walked over to the weeping man and said "Your right you won't tell anyone , anything ever again! Your life is mine, prepare to spend your death in the arms of Hades!" I raise my sword to sever his head. "Stop!" I heard from behind me "Blood there has been enough death today!" I looked behind me to see Twilight and Pinkie crying. I looked around at the bodies and then drew my attention back at the young man. "Get out of here!" I yell at him. He ran away into the thick bramble of trees. 

I sank down to the ground and started to cry. Pinkie asked "Blood why are you crying?"
While gasping for air I manage to scream out "I'm a murderer. These people should not have died today. They where innocent and I killed them in cold blood."
Pinkie came over and sat down next to me "Blood your not a murderer you saved us. Sure you may have killed them but at least you didn't enjoy doing it."
"Your wrong Pinkie, I enjoyed it. I loved taking from them that which cannot ever be given back." I tell her while crying and giggling at the same time.
Twilight ran up to me and placed her horn on my head."You have done enough Blood, time for you to rest." Twilight whispers to me. I felt a surge of magic pulsate through my body as I fell into a magically induced sleep. The last thing I remember is a faint and comforting kiss on my lips.
