An Act Of Kindness

by Xexal

Double Trouble

I thought this weekend would have lasted forever. Sunday I had to work at the gas station, so I decided to bring Fluttershy along with me because everyone had left and leaving her by herself was something I promised I'd never do. It was around noon when a strange woman walked in with a crazy look in her eyes and she wore a creepy trench coat. All she had bought was dog treats and I don’t think they were for her dog. she took one out and started to eat it as she left the store she glanced at fluttershy and smiled revealing sharp and crooked teeth. Fluttershy and I both shivered as she left and disappeared in the foggy afternoon. the weather had been a menace for me, the fog was so thick you could attempt to cut it with a knife and your knife would stick thats how thick it was. It resembled a grey concrete wall. When my shift finally ended we stopped at the nearby store to get groceries. Mostly things that fluttershy needed because my mom and stepdad were carnivores and ate a lot of red meat. On the walk home she grabbed my hand and held it, her hand was warm, I looked at her and her soft eyes, I pulled her in for a kiss and she kissed back. If you were going to tell me I would fall in love with a humanized pony,Ii would have laughed at you, but now, right now it felt right.

“ Alex? ” Fluttershy asked for my attention, I had a red face after what had happened. I was a little dazed, I lifted my head to look at her.

“ Thank you for everything you have done, you have shown me so much kindness and it makes me feel warm in my heart to have ever gotten to meet you. I just wanted you to know my feelings. ” she said. My heart was completely melted. We held hands for the rest of the way home. my mom had already been home which was odd because she was supposed to be at work. We approached her and she jumped like she was caught breaking into a house or something.

“ Um mom? Are you feeling well? ” I asked reaching my hand up to her forehead, she wasn’t running a fever.

“ Uh?- I mean, I'm alright I just came home because I had forgotten something ” She said quickly looking around for something.

“ What did you forget? ” I asked trying to get her attention, Fluttershy went down stairs to relax, I had woken her up early this morning.
“ I can’t remember? ” She simply replied blankly. I gave her a, are you sure you're alright look, but she ignored me.

“ Oh can you bring out the trash for me? I really need to find what im looking for.” My mother said handing me a big bag of garbage.

“ Yeah... I guess so” I said not really enjoying the fact that the garbage smelled like a dead cat. I headed out the door. while I was outside I noticed a pair of emerald green eyes on me. Then a shrill laugh and last thing I knew I was out. I awoke with a pounding headache, I checked my surroundings, I was still at home just a little after nine o’clock.

“ Oh no! Fluttershy “ I said jumping to my feet and running inside, every thing was a mess. There were chairs and pictures ripped and thrown everywhere. The house was trashed, I bolted down the stairs into my room to find nothing but a note saying, “ You want her? Come get her. ” Then there were two simultaneous laughs from the front of the room. There were two Fluttershy staring at me with crazed grins

“ What's wrong Alex? don’t you love me? ” They said in unison. My head started to hurt as if my energy was draining.

“ What,have you done with Fluttershy? You bastards! ” I said clenching my fist, my eyes stared them down, one of them laughed.

“ Alex, what ever do you mean? I am fluttershy, see? ” It said, then mocking me with another laugh. My eyes now burned with hate, I wanted to hit them but I couldn’t, not when they looked just like her. I stepped forward, and tripped over my bass guitar, it clanged on the floor. I had left the amp on supposedly, or Fluttershy was messing with it before she got kidnapped. The loud noise caused the two imposters to scream out in pain then fall to the floor, I would have cheered but my ears were practically bleeding from that loud clang, not to mention the amp was right by my ear. I stood up and pressed my fingers to my forehead before remembering the two fakers laying on the floor. I looked down at two ponies, well not ponies, but they had the same likeness. I believed that they were called changelings, but I when I watched the second season finale, I missed a few parts, but that's what Jake called them. I tied their hooves to the bed so they couldn’t get loose even if they could they wouldn’t get far, I locked the door and i don’t think they could open it any way without hands. they also seemed so drained of all their energy from trying to keep human form.

“ Hey wake up, yeah you where the hell is fluttershy don’t make me use my bass it will get so much loader in here ”i said looking them in the eye.

“ You wouldn’t dare, the effect will hurt you to. You will go deaf ”one of the changelings said with a cocky smile, I let out a laugh then brought my ear up to reveal earplugs

“ What did you say? I couldn’t hear you ” I said then took out the earplugs and smiled.

“ Anything else? No? Ok, now tell me, where is Fluttershy?” I yelled getting ready to strum the bass on full blast. The sound would rattle the support beams in the house causing it to shake and could make a guy go blind from how loud it was. Even though you can’t go blind from hearing loud things, well as far as I knew.

“ Oh nononononononoNo we will talk. Our ladyship took her to the circle. ” They both said in unison.

“ The circle? What the hell is that?” I asked setting my bass down. I pulled my computer chair so I could listen.

“ The circle is a sacred place where that of magic is performed, my ladyship wants the heart and beauty of the mare.” They said spilling their beans all over the floor. I soaked up all that they said, I felt like I knew what they were talking about but unsure why it was the same feeling when fluttershy told me who she was. It was a sort of deja-vu feeling.

“ Wait, how did all of you get here anyway? Fluttershy said that a bright light brought her here ” I said giving them my stare of death.

“ We have no idea ourselves, as well we had awoken here not but a few days ago after the mistress was defeated by twilight sparkle and her five friends. All we remember is a big bright light then, poof, here we are in the circle where our mistress now calls home. We can show you if you spare our lives. ” They spoke in unison, I couldn’t tell if they were twins or if they were just all creepy that way. I chuckled at sparing their lives

“ You thought I was going to kill you? ” I asked, I only fight when defending myself and never looked to kill anything but I must have scared the droppings out of them.

“ You mean you're sparing us? ” They asked. Their holy ears perked up with joy. In a way, they had their own kind of cuteness, not like Fluttershy’s kind of cute, but they are cuddleable. I smiled and nodded, they didn’t seem evil just misguided, but if they pulled anything, I wasn’t afraid to bass them into a comma.

“ Thank you master.” They said in unison, they bounced on three hooves and giggled a little.

“ Master? What?! Ah never mind, yeah I’ll be your master. “ He said, “ Damn how did that even? Ah what ever, best not fight it” I thought the, I figured that they were ok. I unhooked their handcuffs, but I slapped electric dog collars on them. They were ones that my step dad bought to try to get the dogs from running away. He never even put batteries in them for it to even work. He threw them away but I retrieved them, and me and Cayle would play jackass like the television show. I would put it on and cayle would shock me at random moments, but I grew out of immature things like electrocuting myself for fun. This seemed appropriate for the time even though I can't stand to hurt any friggin animal I see, but I couldn’t take any chances when dealing with these two.

“ Now what are your names?” I asked. Well if I was going to be their master I needed to know what their names where. They had the same face and body but their eyes were different colors not green like before, they were blue and pink. I found it odd, maybe they were being controlled by the queen or something along the lines.

“ My name is Evangeline, but please call me Eva. “ The one with pink eyes said, which I now assumed was a girl. I looked over to the other, he was a little uncomfortable with the collar but he seemed to deal.

“ My name is Troy, our names are unusual because we are not ponies or any real creature, we have many old books in the hive back home. We got to choose our names, these seemed appropriate. If you want them to be changed, please do not hesitate” Troy said then bowed. They acted a little too formal, I had to break the awkward tension for them.

“ No, your names are alright, but please, lighten up, act as I do, calm and relaxed. Be yourself. ” I said putting my hand on their shoulders, they let out a nice comfortable sigh. I called jake and told him what had happened so far, he told me he wanted to help so I could save Fluttershy.

“ Jake, make sure you bring your bass, some ear plugs and your amp because we are going to drop it hard on them ” I said being as serious as ever, though the pun fit the moment so why not. I asked Eva and Troy to clean up the mess they made upstairs. The house was spotless within minutes. I figured loyalty was a big thing for them, but I also wanted to see if they were lying before about the whole master thing, I was still unsure. When Jake got there, he jumped at my new found servants I figured they should blend in, I placed a few punk teen magazines in front of them and told them to have a field day with their transformations. Eva had chosen long blond hair with a ripped pink t-shirt with a skull on it, long black skinny jeans and combat boots. Troy wore a black military jacket almost close to the one I had, he wore a grey shirt that had a picture of a one up mushroom from mario saying get a life, which I thought was a nice touch. He wore black cargo shorts with a chain and wore black converse.

“ Wow, you guys look pretty badass, nice work. Now lets go get Fluttershy and be home for supper. ” I said, we busted open the front door and headed right to the woods

“ Now, where is this circle? ” I asked Eva who was in the lead of all of us. I had never even seen this part of the woods before, it was past the sand pit in which I had traveled and thought about it being a perfect place for a fallout movie. We stopped at a big clearing and in the middle stood an odd stonehenge just like the in the United Kingdom just way smaller and less prehistoric. In the center was a hole that had a rope ladder attached to it. This place had the same familiar feeling.
