The Arrival To Ponyville

''I am always traveling.It is so boring some times,'' I said to myself as my hooves touched the ground. The boredom doesn't come from the change of scenery, but rather the monotony of flying through the air as I near my destination. It was tedious, for sure, but I had to try to have some patience
I was just passing through looking for a library for information on certain things like the knife I had with me ever since i was attacked by that monster. I can still remember my father telling me to run.
I was frozen by the horrible memory of my mother's corpse on the floor in a puddle of her own blood.
I just stopped thinking about it and began to look around and continued when I found a library I knocked on the door. ''Hello there,'' said a unicorn that had purple and pink mane she must be the one who lives here, ''I am here to see if you have a book about knives and other weapons,'' I said. She looked at me very strange as if I was some sort of monster from a horror movie. ''Why are you starring at me like that?" I was waiting for her to reply. "It's that scar," she replied. I had a felling she would say something about it, "What about it?" I questioned.
She just looked at the knife I always carried around with me "Did you accidentally hurt you self with that knife," I looked at her in rage "THAT'S NOT FOR YOU KNOW!" I yelled in rage when she asked me the question. I never wanted to tell anypony what made this scar. "Do you have the book i'm looking for or not?" I said in a calm tone. "listen i'm sorry for losing my temper I just don't like to talk about it," I said.
"I understand something in your past," She brought me a book as I began to flip through the pages I saw a picture of the same knife that I was carrying I read the things that I found most important to me, "That's all I needed to know here's your book," I said giving the book to her.
She looked at me with kindness, "Would you like to stay for the night it is starting to get late?" she asked me. I knew I would freeze to death out there. "Sure" I replied.
She seemed very kind, but I was only staying for the night because I was going to leave the next morning, "You'll sleep here for the night,"
The next day I woke up packed my equipment and began to leave the house I went down stairs to see her looking at the book I was reading yesterday on the exact page, "Is there something you want to know?" She jumped and started to act a bit nervous, "What are you talking about?" She began to slowly put the book up as if there was something about the knife I kept with me that i did not know about, "Is there something wrong it's just a harmless knife?" She began to calm down and brought the book back to the page with my knife on it.
The book showed a knife called viper's fang. "Where did you find this knife?" asked the mare.
I took a deep breath and began, "Well I was a colt it was almost midnight when I heard my mother scream for help, I had rushed down stair, when I was almost to the bottom of the stair case, and I saw my mother in a puddle of her own blood dead, but my father was still alive fighting the thing that killed mother, my father told me to run, I ran as fast as I could then I heard my father scream in pain, the next thing I know I see that thing and, it throws a knife at me I got out the way but the knife cut my left eye that's how I got the scar, I picked up the knife and ran with it just in case that monster chased after me so I could fight back I was lucky enough to get away safe and, I was alive that is all that mattered to me the next thing I know I lived in a orphanage for the rest of my childhood" I begun to cry at the horrrible memory of that. "That's really sad to hear," said the mare trying to comfort me. I stopped crying and looked at her, "By the way my name is Twilight whats your's?" she asked. I just stood there quiet.
"Just call me Johny I don't like to tell anypony my real name," She looked at me as if she under stands what I meant, "Well Johny why not come with me to meet some of my friends," I looked at her and put my equipment up.
"Sure" I had responded. We began to head to the local bakery, and Twilight seemed a bit to excited about meeting me.

Meeting New Ponies And Making New Friends

Me and Twilight were going meet her friends that she would't stop talking about. When we made it to her friends it was already close to the afternoon, "Johny these are my friends Rarity, Rainbow dash,Pinkie pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy," said Twilight pointing to the other ponies. They were looking at my face directly where my scar is located. "Are you looking at my scar?" I asked in an annoyed voice.
They hurried and looked away from my face maybe because they thought it would offend me, "Well it's nice to meet you all you can call me Johny," I said with a kind voice. Rainbow dash looked at me, "Well it's nice to meet you Johny, where are you from?" she had the strangest look as if I was going to attack them or something.
"I don't live anywhere I travel almost all the time," I said. Fluttershy left and went to her house.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked Twilight. Twilight looked at me, "Fluttershy isn't good with meeting new ponies," Twilight explained. ''So Johny where did you live as a child?," asked Rainbow Dash. "Well you see I lived in an orphanage, but before that I lived with my mother and father," I had said trying to keep a straight face.
"Rainbow Dash please don't get into his personal life," said Rarity. I looked at her and pulled out my knife and placed it down."What in the Celestia's name is that?" Asked Pinkie Pie. "This is the knife that made this scar on my left eye I was attacked it was also the same day my parents died," I looked at them there eyes were in shock and looked a bit sad for me, "Well that is very sad to hear," Pinkie Pie told me with a tear in her eye."You don't have to fell sorry," I paused for a minute "That's why i'm here, my house is not that far away from here I think he is still there, and if I find him I will have my revenge," They all began to look at me with fear "Listen just because he destroyed your life, you can still forgive him," asked Rarity. I looked at Rarity in pure rage, "FORGIVE,WHY WOULD I FORGIVE THAT MONSTER?!" They looked at me and Rarity was shaking when I yelled at her in anger.
"Johney why don't you go get some rest, and calm down, " Twilight said calming me down, "Alright Twilight," I began to head back to the library when I heard the voice of that monster that killed my mother in my head over and over again like a broken record. When I got to the library I got the book on weapons, and flipped back to the page where I read more about the knife which I soon found out it was a dagger created with special powers that could paralyze the user's enemy where they can't move their limbs and will help the user fight them.The next few hours I saw Fluttershy come into the library, "Hi Johney what are you doing?" she asked in that low voice she has. "Hey Fluttershy, can I ask you a question?" I asked. "Sure, what is it?" she looked at me, I took a deep breath, "Why were you so nervous when I was with the others?" She looked at me and continued to read the book "I was just a bit scared of you," I looked at her and said , "Hey, don't worry, I won't bite you or anything," She began to laugh quietly. "I know what it is like to get easily nervous," I told her giving off a smile. A few hours had passed and the sun began to set. "Well thanks for helping me out Fluttershy it was very nice of you I'll probably see you tomorrow," I told her watching her leave.
"See you later Johney," said Fluttershy as she walked out the door. It began to get dark so I went to bed I was planning to find out more information on what was that thing that killed my parents.

The Dream

View Online

I began to fall asleep around midnight I usually have trouble sleeping. By the time I fell asleep I begin to hear a voice.This usually means that i'm starting to dream which is odd because I hardly dream. I then wake up in my bed that Twilight had been letting me sleep in, but something seemed wrong.I decided to see if twilight was alright, but when I went to check on her I found her corpse. I then noticed spike's corpse if that's what you would call it. It was actually Spike's body and his skin was torn off showing all the muscle and organs. I had to try and get out of here. I ran outside screaming, ''HELP,'' I then noticed that Ponyville was on fire. Everypony in Ponyville was either screaming, or they were a corpse that was horribly stabbed.I the see Pinkie Pie running for her life.
''PINKIE OVER HERE IT'S ME JOHNY!" I yelled she then runs in my direction and she was covered in stab marks. "Johny we need to get out of here right now Rainbow Dash and everyone else is dead," said Pinkie in total fear.
"Pinkie calm down just tell me who did the," I say in a way that may calm her down.
"I don't know all I know is that the sight of him made me fill like I was paralyzed," she said getting weak just from the thought of the face of the stallion that had killed all her friends right in front of her. "I'm going to check it out get somewhere safe, and try not get yourself killed," I said running to the area where Pinkie had saw the stallion that killed my friends. The second I get to where Pinkie was attacked I see the one pony I have hated all my life. I see the pony that had left me in true pain for all my life it is the one who killed my parents. I began to fill some sort of rage in my mind I may have felt the urge to kill him in a slow and painful way for what he had done to my friends."Oh it's you how have you been ever since I killed your parents," he said to me in that sick twisted voice. In a matter of seconds he is right in front of me. I had tried to move even fight back but my entire body felt as if it was nothing but stone. I thought in my head is what fear was like my entire body cold as ice and my body stiff as stone. I then felt the sharp pain of a knife enter my chest in that moment I screamed in pain, but it wasn't over he then ripped the knife out and began to make sure I couldn't talk anymore. He had cut out my tongue whenever I tried to talk all I could hear was a gargle as blood spilled out my mouth. "Well isn't this fun you survived the first time, but now there's no running away," He said with a wicked smile. I was trying to say buck you at the top of my lungs but the only noise that came out of my mouth was a disturbing combination of what was talking, and the sound a pony makes when their mouth is filled with water. "What's the matter cat got your tongue, oh wait I have it," he said in a sick manner.
What did he think this was all some sort of game or something. I then began to my vision fade to black. I begin to bleed to death from losing my tongue. I tried to fight the urge to close my eyes I had to fight the urge to close my eyes, but I couldn't help myself and everything faded to midnight black.
I wake up screaming my head off, and I think everypony in Ponyville actually heard me.
"Is there something wrong Johny?" asked Twilight as she came into my room.
"I just had a nightmare that's all," I said covered in cold sweat.
"Well get down here were going to sugarcube corner to get something to eat," said Twilight
"Alright Twilight just let me wake up a bit," I told here.
After I had shaken off that horrible nightmare I went with Twilight to sugarcube corner.
