Secrets

Chapter 7

Friday, a day that he should have been planning a date with one of the new hot transfer students. Instead he was standing in front of Canterlot High School, looking over the obviously newly finished front entrance that still had some tools lying around. All in all, it didn’t really look as horrible as he thought it was. Not that he should be here anyways seeing as he graduated two years early. Just because he was the baddest of the bad didn’t mean he was stupid. Even if his cousin sometimes said different.

While here, he was to attend the school as a student to get a front row seat of Celestia’s total screw ups. The woman was just as pathetic as the Redferns, if not more so. There was no wonder Hunter wanted her dead, something Dusk didn’t know if he cared about. Then again, for his little Firefly’s sake, he really didn’t think it would be good to fuel the fire Hunter was building for Celestia.

No, it wouldn’t be good at all. With a smirk, Dusk decided that a few weeks of school where he could kick back, relax, and tell the rest of the world to fuck off would be a nice vacation. After all, the two hot girls that just walked into the entrance, looking back at him before entering, made this job seem a little less troublesome all of a sudden.

Taking a cigarette out of the pack in his jacket pocket, he was about to light it when a hand smacked him in the back of the head. The cigarette fell out from between his lips and into a woman’s well manicured hand. Following the hand, trailing up arm slowly to the shoulder, enjoying the swell of the curve of her bust before realizing it was an expensive blazer. Jerking his eyes up quickly he came eye to eye with someone he wasn’t sure he wanted to deal with, Luna.

Unlike her sister, Luna seemed to bounce back and forth in her beliefs of her Sister and the Redferns. Sometimes it seemed the woman had wanted to just kill all humans except for enough to keep in pens as livestock as most Redferns wanted. Other times it seemed she was ready to stick up for them just as her sister did. Dusk was sure that if Luna really didn’t love her sister then the woman would have defected to the Redferns long ago.

“Don’t think I don’t recognize you, you little bastard.” Luna hissed quietly, smashing the cigarette in her fist. “If you do one thing to hurt my sister while you are here, not even that bastard of an uncle will save you.”

Oh ho, could the rumors be true? Was it possible that Luna and Hunter was once a couple? It was almost too good to be true, so much blackmail material that could be used. That would have to wait for later though, as he needed to get settled in and meet a few girls. After all, a guy needed to eat didn’t he?

“Don’t worry, I’m only here because my dear uncle wants me gone. Said I’ve been causing too much trouble hopping around one school after another.” Dusk smirked.

“Why the hell are you even in school, you graduated?” Luna asked, glaring at him.

“Let’s see, I get bored and don’t feel like college. Add into all the cute little nibblets running around that is my age, why not spend some time bouncing from one loser school to another?” Dusk asked, his smirk growing as Luna glared at him.

“Okay, I can understand that, but if you hurt or kill anyone while here, I will personally come after you myself.” Luna snarled, pointing toward the school. “My sister is waiting in the office. Keep your nose clean and follow the rules while here, which means none of those death sticks on campus!”

“Serious? Death sticks? You do know what I am, right?” Dusk asked, arching an eyebrow at the woman in disbelief.

“Just go!” Luna hissed out, feeling a migraine coming on. Just because she was a lamia, it didn’t mean she couldn’t get migraines. And yet she couldn’t get pass out drunk like she wanted to. Life was so unfair sometimes.

Dusk almost skipped into the school, but reminded himself to stay cool and collected. He wanted to maintain his attitude of badassery, even if he felt such a high after so easily getting under Luna’s skin so easily. Oh it had been so sweet!

The inside of the school wasn’t as new as the entrance, yet it was kept immaculately clean, much to the surprise of the young lamia. Most schools that he had been to were actually kind of dirty, at least to some degree, as the students really did not usually have respect for the school. Yet, there really wasn’t any trash on the floor, nor were there and dirt stuck in the corners. Whoever cleaned the school did an excellent job.

As he walked down the hallway though he started to slow down as he came to a case holding different trophies and accomplishments of the students over the last decade. The older stuff he didn’t really care about, but the last couple of years had pictures of Sunset Shimmer winning Princess to all of the Formals, except what most likely was the recent one. The newest addition to the section was a picture of Twilight Sparkle.

“What the hell?” Dusk growled out, yanking the phone from his jacket and dialing a number on it.

“What the hell do you want? I’m busy!” An aggravated voice came over the device after redialing the number three times.

“What the hell are you doing going to Celestia’s School for the criminally stupid?” Dusk growled into the phone, his anger rising.

“I thought I told you to lay off the blondes, your taking on their qualities.” The voice asked in a teasing manner, irking Dusk a little. He knew she was joking, he was blonde himself, but she always pulled this in an attempt to bait him. Not this time though.

“Yeah, and I thought you would be smart enough to actually attend school like you should be doing instead of skipping to make out with your girlfriend.” Dusk snarked back at the girl over the phone.

“How did you know?” A second voice said, an obviously false cheeriness in it as the owner acted ditzy at times just to irritate Dusk.

“Shush, my mom will kill me if she finds out.” The first voice hissed, her voice muffled.

“And mine won’t?” The second voice giggled.

“Your pictures are all over Celestia’s school from all of your victories for Princess of the Formals over the last couple years.” Dusk said, almost hearing the girl’s brain working on a comeback. “And your girlfriend won the newest. So, care to tell me what the hell you two were doing playing around here? You are supposed to be staying at your girlfriend’s home attending the Academy there, not coming to this hellhole of a school.”

“Hellhole of a school. Huh?” A voice asked. Making Dusk turn to see a pissed off looking Celestia glaring at him.

“Got to go, Firefly.” Dusk said ending the call, taking a deep breath before throwing on his best smug grin.

“So, hellhole? You aren’t off to a very good start, Redfern.” Celestia nearly snarled towards Dusk making him sweat a little, but pushed the nervousness she was causing off. He wouldn’t be intimidated by this soft hearted bitch.

“Don’t ever call me that!” Dusk snapped out. “I despise them just as much as I despise you.”

“Fair enough, but I will not tolerate you acting like the little prick you are in my school.” Celestia said, glaring at the boy in annoyance. “Come on, the office is this way.”

“Whatever.” Dusk groaned, falling in step behind the woman. He didn’t really like her, but the power coming from her was something he could respect. He honestly did not think she could be this powerful, but she had lived for centuries, and if the rumors were correct, she may even be as old, or older than Hunter himself.
