Who you see is most certainly not Sunset or any of her friends, instead it was three people. Two females and a male to be exact, what they wanted was beyond you, but they didn't seem happy and they were coming your way!
The middle one had slightly dark green colored skin with magenta eyes, she also had rather flat, but long crimson hair. She wore a red tank top with a long, flat black skirt and red boots. You couldn't tell, but you think you can also see some red earrings.
'Did every girl around here wear boots? Also she seems to like the color red.' you shivered at the thought of it, reminding you of blood. 'And who are the other two with her?' The triple number reminded you of Billy and his brothers all too well.
The girl flanking her had yellow skin with lavender hair. She had a long blue sleeved shirt with a yellow and blue striped skirt, along with white boots. Honestly it was hard to tell if it was good or bad fashion...
The guy that was with them had blue skin and white hair, he had a short sleeve, orange shirt on with regular blue jean pants. Instead of boots he had black tennis shoes. He also had a smirk on his face though, which made you more nervous.
"Yes you," the one in the middle spoke with a little venom in her voice, the group coming closer to you as you stood still with some fear in your chest. What could they possible want with you?
They stop right in front of you, the other two smirking, the guy with his arms crossed and the girl with a hand on her hip. Before you can wonder further, the middle one speaks to you.
"So you're the guy from Hoofington are you? I bet you think you're tough because you came from that place, well let me tell you something." She leans in uncomfortable close to you, the venom in her voice unending.
"With Sunset Shimmer no longer in power here at CHS, I'm free to take over. Of course I know what she did which makes it oh so much easier to not mess up like she did, and unlike her, actually have two people who aren't fools. Isn't that right Pale and Cobalt?"
The girl and guy both chuckle as their names are spoken while the other girl leans away. If you had to guess, considering Pale was more likely to be the females' name, that meant Cobalt was the male. But wait...did she say Sunset was no long in power here?
Did that mean...that Trixie girl was right?
Pale speaks up, "Didn't you know nerd? Sunset was a power hungry freak here with everyone fearing her and the principles under her charms." Despite her cute voice, you could tell how serious she was.
Cobalt speaks up next, "Indeed she was, remember the time she made that Fluttershy girl cry at the statue and again in the hallway on the same day?"
They all laugh, but not in a nice way. The one in the middle speaks up again, "All you need to know nerd is this..." She moves closer to you, you try to lean away, but can't due to fear and confusion. "...don't mess with Katherine Green." She knees you in the stomach before moving away from you, causing you to kneel over in pain. Coughing due to the hit on the scar, they laugh at your weakness and pain before walking away from you.
You take a minute to catch your breath before you stand up, looking around as you mind raced. You didn't want to believe those creeps, but the note from Trixie makes you think otherwise. If she was telling the truth then that meant Sunset is...or was evil?
'But if she is evil then why is she friends with the others?' You thought as you started to walk home. You contemplated the options of what to do, on one hand Sunset may still be evil and tricking you. On the other hand she might not be evil and it could all be a convincing lie.
But either way, you've been threatened and hit on the first day after all! But you can't tell your parents, they'll flip out and make you move again. At least here there might be a better chance for peace.
...Right?
About 15 minutes later, you arrive home. After saying hello to your parents, putting up your backpack, and finally convincing them that you already did your homework, you head upstairs and sit in your chair, pulling out your phone from your jacket's right pocket and input the password.
You idly scroll through the apps you had, most of them were games. Though some of them weren't the type for males to have, but cute games can't be argued with right?
You eyes fall upon your contacts list, maybe you should give your friends a text?
Yeah...you should, it's been awhile.
You open the message system and send each of them a text. After a few minutes you get one response from Clark.
"Hey dude, are you alright? We heard about what happened and that you moved."
You smile a bit at his text, at least you knew you had friends that cared. You reply to his text.
"Yeah, I'm fine. My parents had us move to Canterlot, hopefully it won't be as bad here, I still miss you guys though!"
It takes him a minute to reply...
"Yeah, we miss you too, especially Amber. Don't think I saw her so sad before you moved, I'll let them know you texted us that you're alright? I gotta go though, got a few tests to study for."
"Alright Clark, text you later."
You close the messages app and then turn off your phone. Sighing, you think of what to do for the next few hours.
"Suppose I can just study my lessons, I'm a bit behind anyway." You say aloud, getting up and heading downstairs to get your backpack. As you pick it up and start to bring it upstairs, your mind wanders back to Sunset.
'Could she really be evil? If she made that Fluttershy girl cry a few times then why sit together at lunch? It doesn't add up.'
You sigh, setting the backpack down and getting out your phone again. You head onto the internet via Safari, searching up the school website and bring it up. There was a few things you didn't understand for Spanish like-
"What the-"
Right here, on the front page, was a picture of a demon flying above the school. It appeared to be talking to some girls in front of it, the picture had been taken from the inside of the school though, so it was hard to tell, but the hand gestures suggested so.
The header threw you off even more.
"Teenage girl and two boys turn into demons and attempt to enslave Canterlot High? What is going on here..."
You click on the header, sending you to the page with the details on it. What you read seems impossible, but is official. Reading through it you learn that the demon flying above the others is really Sunset Shimmer! What's more, further reading shows then the ponies standing there are the ones you met today at lunch. But the purple girl is someone you didn't see today, yet right here it says her name is Twilight Sparkle.
You sit back in your chair, putting your phone in the desk in front of you as you try to contemplate this information.
"So...if Sunset really is, or was, evil. Then Trixie was right to watch out for her and this Katherine girl seems like she's been waiting for...this to happen. But what the heck is going on here?! Is Sunset evil or not? Does she have it out for me? And why did Katherine pick on me first?"
Dozens more questions raced through your head, such as if the magic you read about was possible. At this point you turn off your phone and plug it into the charger. Getting up, you walk over to your bed and flop onto it, staring at the ceiling. You could try to avoid them both tomorrow, but so far Sunset hasn't physically or emotionally harmed you, she's done the opposite.
But if she truly is evil, then she'll hurt you later on, and Katherine is bound to hurt you regardless of what you do. You could go to the other five and ask them what's going on, that is if you don't run into either of them before school. Unless they're on Sunset's side?
You sigh and get under the covers, putting up your glasses on the nightstand and roll over, closing your eyes.
"What am I going to do tomorrow?" is the last thing you think before drifting off to sleep.
...
...
It's dark, why is it dark?
You try to open your eyes only to find darkness. Before you can contemplate why through, lightning flashes and in front of you is Canterlot High. But what else you see is a demon before you, looking menacingly down at you. It looks exactly like the demon that the website said Sunset Shimmer turned into!
Before you can do anything the demon screeches and fires an unexplainable dark and blue beam at you. You close your eyes out of fear but feel nothing, opening your eyes again you're suddenly in the same alleyway you were in Hoofington weeks ago.
You get up, feeling very weak now, and try to head to the street only to be hit from behind. You hit the ground and cough, turning to face your assailant. Only to see Billy and his brothers there! They laugh at you and taunt you, Billy pulling out his switchblade and swinging down to hit you in the chest with it.
You gasp and try to defend yourself by turning away and crossing your arms over your chest. But again feel nothing as the laughter vanishes. Opening your eyes, you see that you're no longer in the stinky alleyway of Hoofington, but instead in the middle of the Canterlot High School foyer.
You stand up and look around, fearing what will come next when you hear the sounds of evil laughter. Some of the lights go dead as Katherine and her friends, Pale and Cobalt, step out of the shadows.
Katherine sneers at you as Pale and Cobalt grab you by the arms, forcing you on your knees. You can't move at all while they do this, you instead look up at Katherine, fear causing adrenaline to pump into your blood.
"Oh look at you, the big bad nerd from Hoofington who got in a fight and won some scars can't even defend himself." She laughs, "you couldn't even help yourself nerd, and now you've left your friends to fend for themselves!"
"I didn't leave them!" You yell back at her, feeling a mixture of anger and guilt.
She simply smirks and idly checks her right hand's nails like you meant nothing. "Oh really? Then why are you here and not at Hoofington? Maybe it's because you're too scared to stand up for yourself, or stand up to Sunset which is why you followed her around. Which means..." She leans down at you, "You can't stand up to me!"
You suddenly feel the same pain in your stomach that you had before when you got stabbed by the switchblade that Billy had, all you can do is gasp in pain as you look down to see a switchblade stuck inside your stomach.
You feel the urge to scream out for help, but cannot find your voice. All you can do is gasp and heave as blood slowly trickles out of your wounded stomach. Suddenly the three bullies disappear, forcing you to catch yourself as you fall. After taking a few deep breaths, a boot comes into your view.
You look up to see a Sunset there, but her face isn't one of concern, it's a cruel smile.
"Sunset.." You gasp out, "P-please help..."
"Oh I will new guy," She responds coldly, "I will..." You blink, and suddenly Sunset is the same demon you saw before! She laughs as she shoots another beam at you!
"N-no! No!"
The beam hits you and your vision goes black as you feel a burning sensation all around your body.
