Looking around with her magic, Shadow Eyes was confused, she didn’t know where she was. “Welcome to my humble abode” said Rich Quick and her face shot in his direction. “Why did you bring me here?!” said the mare defensively as her fur stood on end, she was poised like a tiger ready to pounce, a snarl on her face, fully expecting her to be like this, Rich Quick simply stepped away from her, giving her her space. “I couldn’t let the mare, that has kept me from a good night’s sleep, with how much I hurt her, get hurt… Not anymore than I had hurt you to begin with…” said the stallion and Shadow Eyes narrowed her unseeing eyes at him, still ready to attack him, it was unbidden but in the end she began to relax. “What do you plan on doing with me, now that you have me trapped? Looking for an encore of our night together? Because that isn’t happening!” sneered Shadow Eyes and Rich Quick shook his head. “No, you are free to leave at any time, go ahead leave, I did what I set out to do, and got a kiss out of it too” just as he expected he felt a slap on his face as Shadow Eyes blushed angrily, “I had that coming” “Y-yes you did! What on Equis possessed you to kiss me?” asked the blind mare and Rich Quick looked away as he got up and walked to the door to his apartment. “I believe it is time for you to go” said Rich Quick as he opened the door and gestured for her to leave. Biting her lip she made her way to the apartment building’s hallway as soon as she was outside the apartment, the door slammed shut. - - - Shadow Eyes, a few days later, stood outside Rich Quick’s apartment fighting with herself about whether or not to knock on his door when his door opened up revealing an annoyed unicorn. “What the buck do you want?” He asked her and she bit her lip and sighed. “I never thanked you for saving me from… You know…” said Shadow Eyes in her disguise. “You don’t have to thank me” said the stallion as he moved to close the door when Shadow Eyes pushed a hoof between the door and the door jam wincing as the door slammed against it. “You’re wrong, you could’ve died, and all to save a foolish mare who ran in without thinking.” she said calmly, “And if I am honest with myself, you didn’t do anything wrong, you have been keeping your nose clean, and then saving me from being… Well you know…” She added before surprising the stallion with a small peck to the lips. “I do still care about you… You hurt me though when I found out who you were.” Said the mare interrupting the stunned stallion before he could get a word out. “What do you want then? I still am a criminal, just like yourself, however, I don’t have a million bit reward on my head placed there by Princess Luna just for what you are, a Tenebrosus Magus, not something one should flaunt around” said Rich and Shadow Eyes’ face morphed into a pout as she faced him before she sighed. “Yes I am wanted, ESIS is looking for me, but they haven’t found me, and they aren’t going to” argued Shadow Eyes the pout on her face not really phasing the stallion as he was more worried than anything. “Why? Why did you become a Tenebrosus Magus? You are certainly young enough you had other options” asked Rich Quick and Shadow Eyes bit her lip as she looked away before sighing, closing her unseeing eyes. “I wasn’t always known as Shadow Eyes” she said and Rich Quick looked at her confused, the mare in front of him didn’t seem like the type to be ashamed of anything, least of all a name. “I am the heiress, Bright Star, Heir to the Noble House of Star, Former Star Pupil of Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns.
