//------------------------------// // The rise of the Dark Brother Hood // Story: Rebuilding the Dark BrotherHood // by mineturtal247 //------------------------------// Twilight, awoke with a gasp. Her heart pounded against her chest, and sweat fell from her brow. She sucked in air greedily, as her lungs burn for the thing they craved more than life itself. When she regain composer, and her senses Twilight, looked around her surroundings. She was in a most familiar room of Fluttershys, room, but that can't be right for they were in an alley or the back of the building they we're attending an event of some sort. "Why can't i remember." Twilight, thought long and hard, but her mind to be seem clouded. Hoof steps could be heard coming from the stairs. Twilight, turn focus to the stairs. The familiar face of yellow coated Pegasus appeared at the top of the stairs. "Your awake that such good news we beginning to worry." The soft voice spoke. Twilight felt a shiver run through her spine. Like a flash of light she saw her friend in the black, and red armor with a smile of death on her in the alley. "You." Was all Twilight said. She poured her magic into her horn. A neon purple field of magic surround Fluttershy. Fluttershy, open her mouth to speak but was unable to as she was thrown down the stairs by Twilight, and her magic. The crash echoed throughout the house, and the cry's of panic and worried voices filled the house. Springing from the bed she made her way to the the stairs. "What the buck happen?" The voice Rainbow Dash could be heard from the bottom of the stairs. "I don't know she just came flying down like she was pushed." The voice of Spike could also be heard. Twilight started making her way down the stairs, "everypony get back, Somepony go get the guards quick." "The guards?" Rarity said questions, "Twilight what we need a doctor not a guard." She pointed to the yellow Pegasus. Fluttershy head was bleeding from a large gash, her back left leg was twisted in an potion that no Ponies leg should be. Tears along with small sobs could be heard from the shy Pegasus. A crack in the wall formed behind her head with a small blood splat staining the wood. Twilight channeled her magic into her horn. Pointing at Fluttershy she ready herself for anything that the killer of Fair Strings. Spike noticed the spell Twilight had ready and leapt in front of Fluttershy shielding her with his whole body. "Spike, what are you doing get away from her." Twilight commanded. Spike stood his ground, "no, I will not let you harm our friend." "She a murderer!" Twilight shouted, pouring even more magic into her horn. Pinke seemed to appear out of nowhere; her long curly mane now straight. She stood In front of Twilight with the look of pure rage at the velvet unicorn. "A murderer! Twilight, this Fluttershy." Pinke stamp her front hoof on the ground with enough force to crack the wood. "She killed fair strings remember. In the alley where we chased her into." Twilight, stood firm her horn even glowed more brighter with magic. Twilight, was staring down Pinkie, when a strong force of pain came from her jaw. One moment she was standing up the next she was on the floor. Applejack, stood towering over Twilight. A fire unlike any other burn in the farm Ponies eyes. "Get out." Applejack said in venoms tone. Twilight felt the force of those two words; looked at her orange coated friend with shock and disbelief. In fact she looked at all her friends and saw nothing more hatred and anger towards her. Even from Spike. Twilight tried to speak but nothing came out. The looks from her friends and from Spike are cutting into her like a knife. He heart felt heavy with guilt to what she done. There before with her back against the wall was Fluttershy. Fluttershy softly cried. Her mouth moved but no words came out just like Twilight, But Unlike Twilight, Fluttershy was trying to say one word, and Twilight could read it. “Why?” was all the yellow coated mare mouthed. Tears poured down from Twilight like a fountain she pushed herself up, and bolted for the door. “I’M SORRY!” was Twilight said as she ran down the dirt path, back to Ponyville. Applejack, Rainbow dash, Rarity watch as the velvet unicorn run away. “I can't believe she did this.” Applejack said with venom still seeping from her voice. “Neither could I but she did.” Rainbow Dash said. “Girls, Fluttershy is hurt bad she needs a doctor.” Pinkie Pie said. “Applejack, Rainbow Dash go get a doctor we will wait here for your return, hurry!” Rarity ordered. Applejack, and Rainbow Dash wasted no time. They bolted for the door as fast as their wings, and legs could carry them. Fluttershy continue to weep. “Are they gone.” She said between sobs. “Yes dear they are going to go get a doctor.” Fluttershy stop crying, “Good that will give us time to talk.” Fluttershy spoke as tho she was never in pain in the first place. “wait, you don’t sound hurt.” Spike said with a confused tone. “It hurts a lot, But it nothing to what my father did to make me tolerant to pain.” “What did your father do?” Rarity asked with shock. “Nothing of importantes but i do need to talk to all of you.” “What is it Fluttershy?” Spike asked. “I felt our mothers percents here, especially near Twilight.” Spike, Rarity, and Pinke looked to one another. No words were spoken. “This means Twilight is the next to join.” Fluttershy said. “What about Applejack and Rainbow Dash.” Asked Spike. “Thire time will come but Twilight is the most important, a strong connection between her and the Night Mother.” Sound of small running feet ran into the room. One of Fluttershy small black rabbit carrying a large letter in its mouth. It drop the letter from shock of seeing it caretaker hurt. “Don’t be shocked little bunny, you know I been through worse old friend.” The little rabbit pick up the letter it drop and placed by Spike. It looked back at it’s caretaker one last time before leaving the house. Spike picked up the letter, “wow thats a lot of new recruits.” Spike handed the letter to Fluttershy. She took it from Spike and read the letter over. A small wicked smile spread across her muzzle. “It seems we will have to wait for Twilight and the rest of the girls to join our family for we have many, many new members joining us.” “What are we going to do then.” Pinkie asked. Fluttershy thought for a moment then an idea hit her, “I will send my rabbits to find these new recruits with a letter for them to give. Then we will lead them here to Ponyville.” “Great idea Fluttershy!” said with excitement. “Good, we will do this when I my wounds of heald.” “COME ON DOC HURRY UP!” Rainbow Dash voice could be heard from the dirt path. “Hide the letter Spike.” Fluttershy ordered. Spike hide the letter just Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and a doctor with nurse Red Heart entered the small cottage. “My goodness Twilight did this!” Red Heart said with a shock. “Told you, she did this.” “Nurse, and Rainbow Dash help me get her to her room where I can begin my work.” The doctor instructed. “Come on Fluttershy were here to help you.” Nurse Red Heart spoke with a soft voice. She and Rainbow Dash help Fluttershy up the stairs to her room. “What are going to do now.” Rarity whispered to her friends. “We wait.” was Spike said before heading upstairs to check on Fluttershy with his friends right behind him.
