You know, it awfully seems like the whole school is being a huge prick to Sonata. Saying just the stupidest of things thinking that perhaps she is forming a new takeover plan, or maybe I'm still under her control someway or somehow, and with all of this junk, people aren't giving the slightest, and I mean the slightest chance of even wanting to talk to her. Yeah sure, during classes where she is sitting with someone else, they talk to her, but only just about co-operate in work. They would never ask how she's doing, or even wanna start a conversation. They only talk to her about the work they must work on. I hated their guts. Though they were nice, they weren't to Sonata, and not giving just the chance.
Speaking of that, Sonata is still feeling pretty downpour of that one time, and now that adds some more people to my 'hit list' of mine. Those two were apparently named Snip and Snails, which were the dumbest of names, and I wanted to seek them and find their hiding spot, but can't seem to find them. This was boiling my blood. Every...single...time. Sonata was dealing with it like Sunset did when she was shunned by everyone after her incident at the Fall Formal, but she usually had some private moments of crying or just feeling angry. I saw this at times, like when she was in my room to get something, I heard her crying softly to herself, and she had the feeling of just being alone. Forever. This really scared me and the girls, as I told them about these situations. Sonata seemed to be like a bubble getting bigger and bigger, then will pop when it can't handle it anymore. Just like my temper...
Me, Sonata, and the gang were eating together at lunch once again, and we had a conversation. I wasn't really adding in on anything, because I was just too busy eating my sloppy joe, another one of my favorite foods. Sonata though was doing the talking. "So, guys, how are your lives?" she asks.
"Oh, well at the farm, me and the family were just washin' the farm animals. Givin' 'em a good, clean bath." Applejack answered.
"Just about nothing except for assembling gems and cloths, and making clothes." Rarity also said.
"I was just taking care of the animals and critters at the local shelter." Fluttershy answers silently.
"Kicking balls." Dash said quickly. Everyone gave her a strange look. "Soccer balls, I mean." she included.
"Parties!" Pinkie says in excitement. "Parties and parties. You know, since it's like totally my thing."
Sunset rubbed her arm. "Well," she was saying. "Not really that much. Just doing school things and hanging out with you guys. Nothing really exciting is happening here." Sonata frowned.
"Yeah. Me, too." she said. "I'm just like you, Sunset. We both are kinda in the problem of kids shunning and neglecting us, am I right?" Sunset nodded. "Yeah. I kinda wanna, you know, perhaps sucker-punch someone and maybe that'll do some good."
My eyes flashed and were wide open. "No." I said deeply. "No, it won't. Violence and anger is NEVER the key to something better. Believe me." Sonata tilted her head, as did the others afterward.
"Why?" she asks. "Did something happen to you?"
I heavily sigh. "Alright, how about a story?" I explain the one time where I lost my cool for a bully assaulting my friend, and not only did I become a fear for the bully, but also a fear to my friend. I went easy on the details, and made it look small, even though it was pretty vicious. Would you wanna tell your friends how violent and brutal you got? It just didn't feel right to literally say, especially in front of girls! But I finished my little tale. "And, yeah, beat some kid up, and I became quite a fear. I got no respect and it made me feel pretty bad." I looked down. "Sonata, trust me. Just listen to what Sunset says, and you'll be just better off. She's smart."
"I know she is." Sonata says. "But I have to say this: I am pretty shocked of that happening to you. I swear not to show any form of violence or whatnots to anyone. Violence and anger is not the answer, as said by you, Shiney." Dammit that name... But hey, the girls took it nicely and we kept eating. No biggie. We kept eating until lunch was finally over, and we get out of the cafeteria. The day was just average with the usual. School work, and Sonata's singing blending in with the crowd of voices.
We walk out of the school as the final bell rings after the school afternoon announcements, and me and Sonata stick together towards the stage, where the Rainbooms and Sonata practice. Just like always ever since Day 1 of Sonata's quest of getting pitch perfect. But along the way, I accidentally bump into someone. Why me? I get myself up off the ground, and dust off my pants. "Oh, I'm so-" I suddenly stopped. Before I could fully apologize to the person I bumped into, I looked AT the person I bumped into. And the girl next to her. Speak of the devil... "Adagio..." I said.
We were at around the stage area, and there they were. Standing up, Aria Blaze. Getting off the ground, Adagio Dazzle. She gave me a half-grin. She laughed softly. "Well, if ain't the indigo ratboy." she said. Aria snickered.
"Name's Dusk Shine." I said, clenching my teeth. "And most certainly, I ain't no 'indigo ratboy', thank you very much." I already clenched my fist, like in preparation to strike a WMD.
"Well then, Dusk Shine," the puffy-haired devil continued. "How fancy it is really to meet you here." She looked at Sonata, who was once again as frightened as she was before when they met us at the mall. "Especially you, too, Sonata."
"What do you want?" Sonata asked behind me. "What? You wanna antagonize us or something stupid like that?"
Aria cracked her knuckle. "No, not really. Besides, we just did that last time we had our time together." The two girls approached us. I started to feel like I was about to form into Bigby Wolf's werewolf form.
"Hurt us, I goddamn dare ya." I told them, growling afterwards. I set my eyes strictly at both of their faces, and had a quick second of imagining them bruised up and hurt- wait. No, stop it. My violence... have to store it in. No way I'm going to unleash it like this. And besides, think of the trouble I would get myself in. Who knows?
"Hurt you?" Adagio said questioningly, putting her hand on her chest. "Why on Earth would we do such a horrible thing?"
"You slapped Sunset." Sonata said.
Aria rolled her eyes. "So what? We slapped Sunset, big whoop. Did we scar her? Bruise her? No, just made a little red mark that went away in just minutes. But you know, if you want the same..." Aria got closer, but I stepped forward a huge step. "Hey there, tiger." she said. "Mind to brush off of us women?" She poked my chest, and it felt like she pressed the button. The button where all hell breaks loose. But I still held it in. Gotta keep back... my short temper...
"Stop thinking so crazy, child." Adagio said. "You're really seeming to act so self-defense about this. We're not going to kill you, nor are we having such a cruel thought of hurting you two morons. Wait a minute." She looked at me, and grinned. "Ah, yes. You. I remember something special about you. Something about... temper?" My eyes grew wide. How... she knew? "Oh yes, Shine. I know of what you did to that one kid. He was bullying some friend of yours, and you viciously attacked him. Making him bleed and get bruised badly." Sonata's eyes grew wide to hearing this.
"Is that..." Sonata looked at me when I looked back. "Is that true? Did you hurt him that badly? You said it was little."
Adagio giggled. "No, accident. This man here is a violent beast. He's a ravage wolverine, set out to hurt people badly when they are being bad. You know that bully did end up having a decent facial scar, right? He seemed more afraid then ever. All of the kids in your old school were afraid of you." She put her finger under my chin, and I almost lunged forward and bit it. Why... why was this getting so in my head? GET OUT! I can't be this bad... why am I thinking so violently? "Temper, temper..." she said. "Is that something you're really bad at, Shine?"
"No." I said deeply and gravely. "Screw off, and let's have a nice time having separate ways..."
Adagio's grin grew wider. "Prove it. Prove your temper is good." She got up close and personal to my face. "I'm not leaving you guys all alone here. And Shine, you know you wanna..."
"Hey, back off!" yelled Sunset. Thank God, somebody came by. Or actually quite a lot came by. The Rainbooms stood there, and glared at Adagio and Aria, who were close to us. "Seriously, what is wrong with you two sirens?"
I turned my direction over to them, looking at them stand there looking straight at the Dazzlings. It felt good that they were here, but then this happened. Aria quickly grabbed me and pinned me to the wall, and Adagio quickly went up to Sonata. It all happened so fast. Then, as Aria was making sure I was pinned good on the wall, I saw the event going on behind her. Adagio punches Sonata. A right hook connects to the blue girl. I... couldn't... handle... this... ANYMORE!
I yelled like a warrior loudly, and grabbed Aria by her coat, and pushed her off me with full force. She falls to the ground, then gets back up and on her feet. As she came close ready to throw her punch, I throw mine first. It connects to her face, and it felt like slow-motion. Her face was hit by my huge fist, and I saw some graphic things. These might not be like guts flying, but it was disturbing to see what I can do. Blood flew out of her mouth, I immediately saw a bruise forming on the spot where I punched her, and she looked dead unconscious. It went back to normal, and I see Aria collapse on the ground. You're next, Adagio.
I ran up to her, and tackled her. Then came the fist, but... I stopped. Right before it made connection. I felt tears forming already. What... what the hell have I become? I looked at my fist. Bloodied. I looked back to Aria. Unconscious and bleeding. I looked at... the girls. Shocked. I... Sonata... Sonata had the look like she is witnessing the worst murder there ever was. That... that was what I felt like this was heading. All my anger, my violence, my stupid temper! It all lead to this. I punched a girl, hard. I knocked her out, hard. I tackled another girl, hard. I almost knocked her out, hard. What massacre am I just forming here? This... this had to stop...
I unclenched my fist, looked down, and got off of Adagio, who had the look of fear on her. Like... like the bully. She got up and ran. Ran like the devil was after her. Like I was after her. I looked straight at the girls, looking at their fearful reaction. No... I've done it. I just did it. The looks they had were almost like the same as my friend. Sonata... she was bleeding slightly, but she had tears flowing out of her eyes. I... What... I'm a monster. I unleashed hell unlike ever before, and I have done the most horrible thing ever. I scared everyone, and they had the right to be. I... I had to run. Away. Immediately before Sunset reached her hand out to stop me, I ran. Far away from the event. Not towards Adagio, but somewhere just... vacant. Alone. I had to be alone... I'm so sorry, guys...
