//------------------------------// // Twitchy: Part 1 // Story: The Twitchiest Evil of Them All // by FlavoredMoon //------------------------------// "Mom!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I fell from my cloud home. My family lived above The Smokey Mountains, which was probably not a good idea. I still couldn't fly properly, so I was basically in the death zone. I was soon engulfed with darkness, the only light being the tiny light that was getting smaller as I fell further down the cavern. I heard a very faint gasp, then scream. I saw a darker figure scoop up my mother. "MOM?!" I screamed, my breathe becoming rapid and my pupils retracting to the size of pinpoints. I started hearing loud growls as I fell. I knew that they were dragons, many of them. I was scared, so scared. I took a shaky breathe, feeling the cold air getting colder and colder. I knew what was coming. I closed my eyes, not that it mattered, and tried to steady my breathe. It didn't work, I then just excepted my fate. I attempted to curl up into a ball and succeeded, Celestia knows how. I soon met the ground, knocking the wind out of me in the process. My eyelids grew heavy as tears escaped my barriers. The last thing I heard was a distant gasp. The last thing I saw was darkness... First, I gained my sense of hearing. I could hear two voices yelling at each other. "We are not, I repeat, not keeping a pegasus filly! It's against our code!" "But we can't just leave her on her own! She'll die out there!" "It's against our code, it's not possible!" What I gained next was my sense of touch. I was lying on a cold, hard surface. I let out a groan of pain, hearing my scratchy voice. 'What the hell happened..', I thought letting in long, stinging breathes. I soon realized,'Wait... Where am I?'. "She's awake!" Said one of the deeper voices,"Please, child, stay down until your healed." He was calm and collected, but had a hint of concern in his voice. I soon earned my sense of sight. A pain shot through my gut, but I didn't know why."Where am I?" I asked, not knowing how the hell I got here. "You're in the Dungeon Dragon's cavern. Please, don't move." He said calmly as I attempted to get up,"You fell from your cloud home that was hovering above our cave. You are, at the moment, suffering from severe memory loss." I did my best to try and remember what happened. That didn't happen, the only real effect was the migraine I gained from thinking too hard. I gripped the side of my head and closed my eyes as the migraine faded. I slowly opened my eyes, to find a dragon staring me straight in the eyes. My heart stopped as my pupils sized to pinpoints. I let a small whimper out as my ears folded against my head. The dragon had a pair of small circular glasses neatly placed above his snout, a white doctor lab coat with a few easily noticeable blood stains, purple underbelly and green scales, and beautiful dark red eyes. "No need to be scared, little one. My name is Dr. Drake, What's your name?" He asked, a innocent smile plastered on his face while he outstretched an arm. I shook his hand with my hoof,"My name is..." I paused to think,'Why can't I remember my name!? Think...! My head shook roughly once,"Um... My name is..." 'I twitched..' "My name is Twitchy. Twitchy Evil..." 'Evil? I'm not evil, why'd I say that? "Nice t' meech yah, Twitchy!" Said a much squeakier voice, which made me jump"I'm Scorch!" I gave Drake a curious look, then looked behind me. I let out a small 'eep', behind me was a smaller dragon. From observation it was a female, but she looked different than any other dragon I'd seen, she had the look of a dragon but with pony mixed in. "Scorch?" I asked, taken back by the sudden appearance. I could feel my cheeks heat up. "Well, of course! I'm da best fire breathin' pony-hybrid in this here camp!" She answered cheerfully. I couldn't help but smile at the enthusiasm of the young hybrid. She had a purple scaly coat, an orange mane that was styled back. Her smile quickly faded though, as I saw my eyesight getting covered with clear shade of red. She started backing up, her face filled with concern, "Twitchy?" I didn't hear her though,'Best fire breathing hybrid, huh? I thought,'Really? I'm the best! I'm always the best!' My eyes were as red as a stream of blood by this point. At that moment I felt ten times stronger than I should've been. I didn't feel the dizziness I felt when I hit the bottom of the cavern. It felt like I could kill fifty dragons without getting hurt. "Twitchy...?" Asked Drake, I turned around and got up, walking straight up to him. "Yes? Drake?" I said, my smile growing. My voice was so scratchy, but I didn't notice."Are you... Okay?" He hesitated, pushing himself closer to the wall to hide himself. I laughed, it was the most demonic laugh I've ever heard. It made Drake flinch and Scorch's pupils turned smaller than pinpoints,"Oh, Drake! You crack me up! Of course I'm okay!" I said enthusiastically, but leaving my stone cold smirk untouched,"I'm better then ever..." I drifted off at the end to turn around. Scorch was standing there with her vibrant dragon-pony wings started glowing as the wind started to pick up,"Get away from mah big brother!" She yelled, I could tell there were tears welling up in her eyes. My smile grew somehow,"Oh... Is this your big brother? I had no idea..."I said mockingly, there was a hint of sarcasm in it. "If there was a chance to die... Would you take it?" I asked, my voice calm but demonic. I started advancing on Scorch, she had the most terrified face I've ever seen. "Twitchy... Please, this isn't you..." She was soon trapped in a corner, My smile shrunk. "Not like me?" "You should be nice and--" "You don't even know me!" I yelled, I felt tears filling my eye, but they quickly faded away,"I don't even know you!" I lifted my hoof.'What am I doing?' I asked myself, but the urge to kill didn't fade. "I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF--" I started, only to be cut off by a needle stabbing into my neck. My senses came back and the red blur disappeared. Eyelids becoming heavy and body becoming limp, I collapsed on the ground. I felt so tired,'Why did I do that?' I thought as I started to go into the land of the sleep. The last thing I saw before I was asleep, was the concerned glare coming from Dr. Drake, "I'm sorry..."
