Instinctive
Okay, so here's the second half of this little story. I was originally going to only make this a conclusion, but decided to spread it out a little, as well as give Cadance a chapter to herself.
Against Destiny will be postponed for now. Though I would first like to say that the chapters will only be between 1000-2500 words long, so it shouldn't take me too long to chuck up a few chapters.
In any case, I hope you enjoy this chapter. It'll hopefully explain a little more and make The Endless Nightmare make a little more sense.
This chapter will be in both Alexander's Pov and Cadance's POV (Point of view)
Begin!
Instinctive
Cadance POV
That bucking stallion, how dare he accuse me of…of being immature!
I opened the door to my chambers angrily, before all but slamming it behind me.
All I wanted was for him to come with me to a Gala that only came up once a bucking year. But nooo, he'd rather go out with his best friend and have a drink or several.
You know, sometimes I know when I'm being unfair, and I usually apologize for it…in my own dirty little way.
Not that he ever complains.
But in any case, this time I KNOW that I was in the right. All he had to do was tell Shining that he'd go out with him the next night. I'm certain he'd understand. By the Gods, I would have backed Alex up if he felt that terrible about it.
Heck he hadn't even told me about it until I mentioned the Gala…which I never told him about until that moment. Not that it matters, I'm still in the right here. The Gala is a yearly event; Alex could go out for a drink with Shining any time he wished.
I just wish that he'd come with me. The nobles were insufferable, especially that stallion…Hmm, what was his name?
Oh right, Vincino Valairiaz…ugh, weird name but…ugh.
All that annoying stallion did all night was try to chat me up. He even tried to squeeze my flanks!
Oh if Alex had been there, he would have knocked his teeth out, put them back in, and then knocked them out again. Heck, I'm a patient mare, but it took every ounce of my restraint not to do it myself.
…
Why couldn't he have just agreed? I was so lonely last night.
Coming back from a terrible Gala, only to see neither hide nor hair of my coltfriend was depressing. We've never slept without the other beside us before, so upon being forced to do so…well, I got hardly any sleep at all.
It took holding a very precious photo of him and I to my barrel in order to get even a lick of sleep. And even then…I could feel that instinct within me crying out for him, demanding that I find, bring back, and cuddle up with my lover.
Lovers…are we still that, lovers?
We did shout at each other viciously last night. And just now at the breakfast table, our attitudes were anything but loving towards each other.
I…I still love him; I can't ever imagine not loving him. But I will not accept his accusation; I will not agree that I was wrong, for we most certainly were…
…
Ugh…no, not now...
I can feel it within me, that instinct twisting and turning my thoughts.
You were wrong, not him. Go back to him…Hold him…Love him…
I do love him!
But I'm not wrong, I was in the right. All he had to do was spend a single night with me at that terrible party. He could have gone out with Shining whenever he wanted after that.
But you're not together anymore…
A-Aren't we?
You don't need him anymore…remember?
What? N-No…I do need…
You told him to never come back…remember?
But I didn't mean it…
He doesn't know that. He's angry, hurt, alone...vulnerable…
Vulnerable?
Very vulnerable. His heart his broken, weakened. All it would take is a greedy mare to pick up the pieces…and claim it for herself.
No!
Yes! It's going to happen, it WILL happen. And when it does, you'll only have yourself to blame.
…
No, no I WILL NOT LOSE HIM!
Won't you?
No, I won't, he is my coltfriend, my mate, all mine!
Doesn't seem like it…
Then I'll show you, I'll show him. And Celestia help any mare that tries to take him from me…
…
Good girl…
Alex Pov
It was a little before the evening that I finally decided to get out of the castle. I hadn't seen hide nor hair of Cadance since breakfast…and do you know what? I was perfectly fucking fine with it!
I mean how dare that…that bitch demand that I apologize to her. She was the one in the wrong, she was the one who demanded I change my plans for her fucking Gala.
She's the one in the wrong here, not me!
"Oh come to the Gala with me honey," I imitated…badly. "Oh why won't you do this one thing for me! I love you baby, but my plans are simply more important that yours because I said sooo…Fucking mares"
The looks on everypony's faces as I stormed on through the busy market were…exquisite. Though to be fair I did kind of look like a raving lunatic.
Great! So not only do some of them consider me an animal, but now they have reason to believe that I'm a crazy animal. Fan-Fucking-Tastic! Thank you Cadance.
I decided it was a good time to get out of the spotlight and quickly ducked into what appeared to be some sort of nightclub. The place was pretty sparse, but given that it had only just opened I wasn't too surprised.
I looked over at the bar and pursed my lips in contemplation, before reaching into my pocket and smiling as I felt the familiar jingle of bits within. Spotting a stallion wiping glasses behind it, I walked over and sat down on…I actually don't know what they're called.
Let's just settle with a tall stool…that flashed all the colours of the rainbow.
I just remembered why I only go to taverns...
The stallion was of a pretty plain sort. He had a horn, grey fur, slicked back black mane and a black top with the company's logo on it.
Cloppers? I chuckled silently. Who had the balls to make a company with that name?
"What can I get for you buddy?" he asked happily. "Martini, cider, whiskey, lager?"
"I'll have a cider," I muttered, throwing the bits on the counter a little too aggressively, at least if his startled expression was anything to go on. "And no ice either, I'd actually like something more than two gulps."
"S-Sure thing," he replied, pouring and passing my drink in record time. "Just give me a shout if you need anything else."
Without waiting for a reply, the bartender quickly picked up a dirty glass and went straight back to cleaning it, refusing to so much as glance in my direction.
Sometimes I forget how scary I can be to those who don't know me well…And this cider is weak as shit.
I must have sat there sipping that cider for what felt like ages. I must have, for when I eventually snapped back to reality and looked around, it was to blink in surprise at the vast amount of ponies strutting their stuff on the main floor.
Oh and there was a catchy beat playing too, though how I failed to notice that is something that escapes me even today.
Huh, Cadance was right about something after all. How many times did she joke about me having a really wonky attention span?
Too many times really.
"You gonna buy me a drink sweet cheeks?"
Startled at the sudden voice, I looked to my left at its recipient. Said recipient was a white coated Pegasus with a long, flowing red mane and amber eyes.
Pretty mare.
"Buy it yourself mare," I grumbled.
"Well maybe I will monkey," she snipped, chucking a few bits on the counter as she asked for a gin and tonic. "So what's got your tail in a knot, huh?"
Quirking an eyebrow at her bizarre…referral, I shrugged and stared ahead vacantly.
"The usual shit. Life, home, mare problems…definitely mare problems."
"Oh yeah, I remember now," she said. "You and the love Princess are together, right?"
…Good question.
Yet again I shrugged and waved my hand at the bartender, smirking somewhat as he hastily passed me another glass of whatever the fuck passes for cider here.
"So are you two not together anymore then?"
Sighing, I growled lightly and glared at the mare disapprovingly.
"Who are you and why the fuck do you care?" I asked, slightly pissed off at the mare's nosiness.
"The name's Snow Dancer, little monkey," she laughed. "And I care because I wanna know how good my chances are of getting laid tonight, or is that a problem?"
The bluntness of her answer almost made me choke on my drink. Thankfully my throat seemed appeased with merely coughing my lungs up, nothing serious.
"W-What?" I spluttered.
Snow rolled her eyes and looked at me cheekily, leaning on the counter in what I assumed was meant to be a seductive manner.
…It was pretty well done.
"Okay, lemme give you the skinny," she said, "I've shagged Ponies, Griffons, Zebra, and even the odd Buffalo. But I've never rutted anything like you, probably because if what I've heard is correct then you're one of a kind. So…I wanna know whether or not you're up for a long night of me pounding up and down on your dick?"
I…blinked, a lot.
Nopony, hell no one had ever blatantly come up to me and put an offer out like that before. Even Cadance had a funny little way of being sly in her requests.
Strangely enough though, I kind of found Snow's blunt approach a little more arousing…though it might have been from the drink.
Nah, the piss they call cider is way too weak. I don't even feel tipsy…and I'm getting off topic here. There's no way that I would ever…
"Thanks, but no thanks sweetheart," I declined, deciding it was high time I bailed out of the club. "I think I'll just go…over there."
I didn't make it halfway through the dancing bodies before she appeared right in front of me, her eyes slightly glazed over.
She's drunk from a gin and tonic? Even Cadance can drink more than that before slobbering over me.
"Oh come on!" she whined, throwing her hooves around my neck as she drunkenly flapped her wings to stay airborne. "You're single, right? Have a good time, live a little!"
I don't think she's used to other's saying n-
"MPHH!"
…and she's kissing me, lovely.
I reached for her forehooves and quickly tried to shrug her off, not that she made it easy mind you. But in any case, by the time I finally managed to pry her muzzle from my mouth…well.
"Cadey?"
Maybe the drink was affecting me a little bit…because despite my situation I still felt angry at her.
And the warm, loving smile adorned upon her muzzle as she gazed back, her eyes so comforting, so tender and affectionate…
It made me step back out of the sheer intensity…and that's when the night truly become something else.
Cadance Pov
I was gliding swiftly throughout Canterlot, a strange yet all too familiar feeling driving me onwards towards the more shady parts of the city.
He's around here somewhere…I can feel it!
Eventually I stopped and landed just outside a dingy looking nightclub. I'd been in places far worse before…but never on my own, it was intimidating.
But as before, I felt a strong sensation filling me up, giving me the confidence I sorely needed to step through the door, walk amongst the dancing ponies, and…and…
A Pegasus, her coat a dirty white, her mane a lovely shade of red…was KISSING…
I began to see red.
The rush of pure, unadulterated rage I felt looking at the half drunk mare slobbering over MY mate was…beyond all comprehension. I wanted to rip, to tear, to utterly annihilate her pitiful existence. I wanted to grab MY mate and take him back home, hide him, cover him with my body and protect him from the world, from competition like…LIKE-
"Cadey?"
The surprised, yet somewhat cold tone of voice drew my attention to Alex's face. His expression was…startled and yet his eyes regarded me with such scorn.
Because of one stupid mistake, MY stupid mistake!
Then make it right…
I will.
Flashing a loving smile in his direction, I supressed my hatred and ignored the other mare and swayed my way over to him confidently. He frowned ever so slightly as I did so and backed away, much to my shame.
He does not want to be near you…
That voice, that instinct…it spoke the truth, I could see it in his eyes. Yet underneath it all I could still see that glimmer, that spark of affection, of love…for me.
Unfortunately the tipsy mare apparently wasn't quite as drunk as I previously thought, seeing that she moved in between us almost immediately, her eyes alight with smug self-assurance.
"Back off Princess," she warned lowly, her voice somehow carrying over the loud music. "I respect your title and all, but get your own boy toy, he's mine."
Boy toy?
"Is that all he is to you?" I asked incredulously.
"Of course he is," she replied amusedly, shaking her head disbelievingly. "Look Princess, I know that you two used to be a match and all, but all he wants and all I want is to get laid. So if you don't mind…"
I looked back at Alex's face…or tried to; he refused to meet my eyes.
"Is this true Alex?" I asked disbelievingly.
He hesitated…and although it was subtle, I knew my little snuggle honey too well not to recognise it. But alas, in the end he still nodded, hesitation or no.
He…he must be confused…
"A-Alex," I whispered, my voice caught in my throat. "Honey please don't do thi-"
The mare, whoever she was, cleared her throat and narrowed her eyes, refusing to back off. Alex didn't even look at me, choosing instead to look down at his feet, as if he were…ashamed?
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to say anything, the mare having turned around, beginning to lead him away.
No…No, I didn't mean anything I said sweetie! I love you, I love you, I love y-
"He's ours…"
"Excuse me?" the mare asked, turning back around and cocking an eyebrow at my…words?
I said that out loud?
…
I said…we…did I…what…
…
There is no I…He is OURS!
I find myself unable to explain the sheer intensity of the orgasmic rush that flooded through my veins. Everything around me faded out into nothing, the ponies, the music, everything other than the breath of he we loved the most…
Opening our eyes, we looked down at the reflective floor and grinned, our eyes briefly flashing a milky white as we allowed ourselves to just give in…
All of this, it happened within the space of about four seconds. Nopony had even realized what happened
Hehehe…
Looking up, our eyes caught his, him, our mate, our life and soul…and we grinned, flaunting our possessive nature for all to see.
What do we care…we just want him back!
It didn't take long for his eyes to widen as he realized our true nature, much to our pleasure. We licked our lips sultrily as we began to walk over to him, our steps graceful and precise, yet clearly dominant.
The mare, whatever her insignificant and intoxicated name was, decided it was very clever to get in the way, get in OUR way!
"Do I have to spell it out for you Princess," she snarked sarcastically, her drunken stupor evidently failing to notice the sheer murder in our eyes.
But our mate…he noticed. We could smell the fear on him, it made us…upset, and excited all at once.
Soon…Soon you'll be safe. Safe in our hooves as we hold you, and love you…and remind you that no mare can ever replace us.
"Snow Dancer!" he whispered fearfully, trying his utmost to warn the arrogant mare.
Not that she listened, the ignorant fool.
"Stand aside whorse," we ordered firmly, grinning at the look of indignation on her muzzle.
"How dare you speak to me like th-"
"Do you want to bear foals one day, Snow Dancer?"
Our question caused her retort to die on the spot, confusion and slight trepidation reflecting in her amber orbs.
"Y-Yes," she answered slowly. "But what does that have to do with-"
"Then step ASIDE!" we snapped, our voice catching the attention of a few nearby ponies, if only for a second or two. "Or you shall suddenly find yourself barren."
That did it.
Snow Dancer didn't even bother to say anything, choosing instead to bleat like a frightened foal and gallop in the opposite direction.
We merely laughed and stamped our right hoof on the floor dominantly, before turning around, lifting our left foreleg, and smiling at Alex slyly.
"Well then," we began, giggling softly as we drew closer, backing our beloved mate into a wall. "Just you and us now sweetie. Hmm, what to do, what to do?"
"Cadance, you need to listen to-"
"Oh, we know!" we chuckled darkly, our hot breath causing him to shiver as his words died on the spot. "Have you ever heard of a game called...reclaiming?"
Instead of answering, he chose to look past me and tried to get the attention of various ponies. Unfortunately for him, I closed in and stood up on my hind legs, my forehooves pressing his arms against the wall.
"Ah, ah, ah," we chastised playfully, my muzzle mere inches from his mouth. "That's not how you play the game, my little snuggle honey…"
"Get off of me Cadance!" he ordered harshly, though his tone did little more than make us smirk. "I don't want any part of this game. Just leave me alone for god's sake."
Our smirk faltered a little, but quickly twisted into a loving smile as we tilted our head.
"We can't do that sweetie," we cooed softly. "We love you more than anything, but we know your heart has weakened. And a weak heart can make one do…certain acts that otherwise they would not."
"What are you talking ab-"
"But it's okay," we continued, cutting him off. "We understand, we do, we really do. It's our fault for being so cruel, for disregarding the possibility that we were in the wrong, not you…and we cannot express deeply enough just how sorry we are."
His picture perfect expression of a goldfish almost made us melt into a puddle of giggles, but we restrained ourselves and merely tilted our head, an open smile, a loving smile on our muzzle…all for him, always for him.
It's a wonder how our hind legs haven't collapsed from standing like this…I wonder…I wonder how strong we are when we feel so at peace with ourselves.
"C-Cadance, I need…to get a drink," he said, the slight stammer causing our smile to widen a touch.
Despite his immunity, I could see the love he felt for me, the way in which our smile was enough to render him nigh incapable of speech.
"Oh?" we asked slyly. "And what do you…want, sweetie?"
"I'll um…I'll just go and…" he made to try and push us away, but we quickly halted this action with nought but a light lick of his lips, smirking greedily as we pressed ourselves close.
"Cadance I-"
"Hush baby," we crooned lovingly, our tail brushing lightly underneath his shorts, against his thigh. "We know what you like, we'll get it for you…"
And thus we gently pushed ourselves from our beloved and back onto all four hooves, not a single ounce of strain or ache as we did so.
Grinning at him hungrily, we winked and slowly turned around, making sure to emphasize every subtle, sultry movement with painstaking precision.
"We'll be right back," we said, biting our barely visible tongue suggestively as we began to walk to the bar. "Don't go anywhere snuggle honey."
We walked to the bar slowly, deliberately showing off every sway, every subtle thrust our flank made, knowing that our baby wouldn't be able to take his eyes off of us.
The bartender, a grey coated Unicorn, noticed us approach and took on what we're sure he believed to be a suave smirk.
Foalish stallion. Our heart, our soul belongs to Alexander. You are nothing!
Smirking back as we let that particular thought run its course, we threw a single bit at the counter and asked for a glass of water. The pathetic stallion performed a few useless tricks with the glass before eventually passing it over into our unamused hooves.
"You not gonna get something for your friend?" he asked, his insulting tone causing us to grit our teeth in a rather forced restraint. His sudden laughter however nearly…nearly tore the loose strand to pieces. "Or maybe not. Looks like he's done a runner on ya darlin'"
"Oh we know," we chuckled, smirking cruelly as he looked into our eyes…and flinched. "We considered it fair to give him a running start."
Before the waste of air could speak up, we slammed the glass back on the counter and jumped off the stool, ignoring the bartender's outrage at the now shattered pieces as we casually walked out of the nightclub.
Once we were outside, it didn't take us long to catch the wonderful scent of our mate. We could taste the sweat in the air. We could taste the panic, the slight fear, the desperation…and the love, the lust he still so obviously felt for us.
With a brief flap of our wings, we took into the sky, almost lazily taking our time as we followed his scent. In fact we were so giddy, so sure of our finding him that we actually sang a lovely…little…chant.
"You run, run, run away, running round the bend. You can run, as far as you like, we'll find you in the end."
It took us little under a minute to find our gorgeous mate once again. Our poor baby was emanating so many emotions. Confusion, panic, fear, love, arousal…and an overwhelming need to do something.
We don't know how it was possible…but we could smell all of it, no magic required.
We couldn't see him per say, but we could hear him, smell him, feel him as he ducked in and out of alleyways, clearly on a twisted path back to the palace.
So confused my darling…so lost, so open to the world without us there to keep you safe. Oh don't worry my sweet, we'll help you now. We'll keep you close, we'll protect you, we'll make you stronger…and…
We swooped down, a happy smile upon our muzzle as he looked up and…
We'll never let our sister take you away from us again!
Looked right into our eyes…in fear?
Baby…why are you afraid of me?
MY MATE! MINE!
We touched…and the world turned black as a gaseous form seeped from my hooves and onto my beloved, enveloping him before…bef…b…
…
To Be Continued In The Endless Nightmare

So glad to see this story isn't dead.
I was literally looking at this story in my favorites when it updated. How exciting! Great chapter, and "Oh shit!" Better fucking run Alex, and don't stop till you're outta Equestria
We'll never let our sister take you away from us again!
Someone done goofed
RUN AWAY

The message of this story: Never have an alicorn as a girl/marefriend, it always ends in something possessive.
Uh... Nightmare's back already???? I guess??
Damnit Zam, stop being a tease!
4820450
Well, that happened.
4820511
Descriptive
4820498 But back to the nightmare thing, should she take pills for prematurity? I feel like there's a medical fix for these things.
4820550
There's a reason she's early
4820560
It wasn't a typo, it's simply the way he spoke
A lot of my kind (British) speak like that in certain cities
That's unfortunate, if not slightly informative.
4820598
Oh? Informative in what way?
Come on! Gimme details people!
Oh, hello Nim!
482060 details? I'll give you details! M@M's are actually the children of aliens!
It's a bad joke, don't hate me.
Nightmare Moon possessed our human friend. Put him in a coma with a horrible nightmare so she could Stockholm Syndrome.. I mean brain wash... I mean show him how much she loves him. The ' enitey' who gave him the knife is either Non crazy luna trying to help our god not being a complete dick. At least thia is my current theory. Alex should of summoned a sunbro to help.
GAAAHHH!!! I want to know what happens next so bad!
4820663
I bet Sunbro'd be able to shed some light on the situation.
4820840 that about suns it up.
4820857
How delightfully incandescent! Puns like this really brighten up my day.
4820871 puns certainly make it a suny day.
4820518
I try.
But seriously, H@ly shit. Really should have suspected such giving The Instinct.s manner of speech, but it was surprising.
Definitely looking forward to the next chapter of this story series, and the explanation to how this happened.
You...Bastard...
I so totally called it. With endless nightmare in play I figured you would link it in a devious way. Well played good sir, well payed.
4820857 Your profile pic looks awesome Tia looks so cuuuute!!!!!!!!!!!
praise the sun!!!!!!!!!!
the night has returned long live the night
fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/228/f/9/nightmare_moon_by_fantazyme-d5ba1d5.jpg
Aha! So the real lover here, was luna!
BUM BUM BUM.
Now I'm confused, since when did Nightmare Moon possess Cadance when she was still trapped on the moon?
Also did anyone get a Venom symbiote vibe at the end?
Now that is an interesting ending but I must ask you to write one more chapter detailing the death that was you made mention in the first chapter of the endless nightmare if you want to mesh these stories perfectly. You need to have him die in Cadence/Nightmare moon's hooves and them detail her descent into the mad queen from "the endless Nightmare." Then this story will mesh perfectly with that story. Never the less this is an awesome story
:
I dont understand
how did this happen and then he wakes up seven years later?
4823124
Wait and see
nice
Wait, I'm confuzled. So this isn't cadences break up chronicle right? And as some other people have displayed confusion what is cadances connection to nightmare/luna and something cadances does puts Alex to sleep for seven years?
Oooooh man, now things got REALLY Interesting!
*is broken
*than yours
Forgot a period at the end.
N-No...
The next season I'm gonna have an irrational fear of every Alicorn on scene.
So let's see piss myself at the sight of Celestia , check.
Curl up into a ball and cry when I see my favorite princess Luna, check.
Scream and run in fear from the embodiment of love, check.
I don't think these stories are good for my mental health.
Is it just me or are the "villains" Chrissy and Nightmare Moon the ones with working relationships? Seems like the "good guys" are all freak-in crazy.
Well I guess I'll finish Endless Nightmare. It's not like I need sleep or anything! Haha haha!
Have you ever read or watched future diaries because you have nailed cadence as yuno.
Sorry to everyone one of you guys who was looking forward to it, but
I'm so glad it didn't :D
Well okay it turns out that this story is how the whole Nightmare Moon nightmare got started.
love this story
5327848 Since when do these stories end in forgiveness and sex? Hell listen to this song. Its practically made for these stories.
4908420 Read a toxic love.
God bless you Alex, your soon to be story is going to be a demons torture room soon.
6790959
I thank you kind sir.
I hope Alex survives... Which I'll find out very soon when I continue on.
Cadence is insane!
Now that I think about it, since we have Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker, Midnight Sparkle, we now need one for Cadence!
What? Really ? Did Alex just try to cheat on Candance because of a fight ? It’s out of context for his character. Was it because he was drunk or something ? I’m a little confuse.
10087853
Hurt, confused, both sure and unsure as to whether or not they were done.
He's still a young man, and young people do stupid things like this to get back at others sometimes. Regardless, the mare kissed him, not the other way around. He only nodded at Cadance's question to hurt her, as she hurt him.
Emotions are funny.
