	Twilight searched every inch of her bedroom leaving anything over-looked, desperately trying to find her Lullaby Locket, at least that's what her Shadow Brother, Dracula, called it. She remembered looking for it before she cried herself to sleep, than hours later passing out in the hallway near the kitchen, her Mother had visited her at midnight last night. Spike had found her that morning, he tried to shake her awake but she wouldn't wake, he got the girls seeing if they could wake Twilight up but none of them could so they placed her in bed hoping she'd wake up soon. But as the hours passed that chance dwindled, a sudden knock resided from the front  door of the library scaring the near life out of everypony and dragon on the main floor. Spike got the door, and the pony that stood there was somepony he hadn't seen since Twilight's Graduation from Princess Celestia's for Gifted Unicorns.

"Star Gazer? What are doing here?" Spike asked, surprised by this unexpected visit from somepony he had seen in 6 years.

Star Gazer was a tall, lean gray  stallion his eyes were red as if made from the blood that flowed inside of his body, his mane was silver and white as if it was made from the stars and moon. Gazer smiled at Spike before answering, "I wanted to come pay a visit to a certain little dragon, and his studious caretaker."

"Spike, darling. Who's at the door." Rarity asked trying to who was talking to the little dragon. As Gazer came into view the girls, Rainbow Dash was the first to question him, getting into his face as just stood there listening to her.

"Who are you? Why are you here? How do you know Spike and Twilight? Are you a spy?"

Applejack pulled Rainbow back and away for Gazer by her tail, before she spoke. "Rainbow, you know better than that... If he knows Twilight and Spike, we should try to accept him as a friend. Now..." Applejack said turning to Gazer. "Who are y'all, kind sir?"

"I'm Star Gazer. I lived with a colony in the Everfree Forest, were we live by strict rules and we all must respect the Divine Master and Mistress, the leader if our colony."

"It's not easy living in colony where there is no freedom, but it's not that bad a little hard but not bad. Do any of you kind mares know where Twilight Sparkle is?"

Rarity stepped forward, "Follow me darling."

Gazer followed Rarity up the to Twilight's room, as Ravity explained Twilight's condition.

Gazer said nothing as he continued to follow the fashionista into Twilight's room.

"If you want I'll give you sometime alone, darling."

"Yes would be nice, than you."

"No problem, darling." Rarity said before closing the door and going down stairs.

Gazer waited until Rarity was gone, using his magic his appearances changed. His mane was now jet black, his eyes remained the same, and his coat darkened to a light black. The pony that stood in Star Gazer's place was Dracula Silverdawn. Dracula moved closer to the sleeping mare that happened to be his Shadow Sister, who had been missing something valuable for 989 years. He had found Twilight's locket on the way here, so she no longer have to search for it. The locket was silver heart hanging for a golden chain, which Dracula placed around Twilight's neck.

Dracula saw Twilight beginning to breath softy, as her true appearances relieved themselves. Her odd wings rested gently at her sides, her teeth shown gracefully gliming in the sunlight filtering in through the window. Seeing the Two-World Walker as she should made Dracula's heart pound in his chest, she looked breath-takingly gorgeous in the sunlight. He leaned down gently hoping she wouldn't awaken, his nose was mere seconds from touching Twilight's. He felt oh-so lost without her around, she was the center of his world, the only thing that real mattered to him right now. He couldn't control himself any longer when he leaned down and planted a light kiss on the half-breed's lips, the half-breed... His half-breed, he had been in love with her since he found her all alone at the enterance of the Shadow Gardens. Now all he could do was wait for his Shadow Sister to awaken, and in her own time.
