A long time ago, longer than any of us can remember, a mare brought us in. We were lost, hopeless, confused. But this mare, Mother, the mare who brings us hope, love, and equality, gave us a new life.

One where, we are all equal. Nopony is higher than another. Nopony is better than another. We are all friends, we are family, sisters and brothers.

We are all friends and family.

My Teacher and friend, tells me I am 'different'. I am 'special'. As though she knows more about me than I do.

My Teacher is full of mysteries, she is not like the others. She must be what she calls, 'important'.

And, why is it, that I sometimes long for something other than equality, if something like that exists.

I wish I could be somewhere out of Her watching eye.

I used to have one job, I was a mare who hunted vampire's to protect others, but most of the time you saw me, I wasn't jabbing a wooden stake in a creature from tartarus.

Normally I had my muzzle in a book, a real nerd I am. But one that isn't afraid to get their hooves dirty, or bloody in this case.

But now seeing my friend become one of them because of me- I couldn't continue my job as a vampire hunter.

Now it's my job to protect my vampiric friend from the ponies I hunted along side with, and also make sure Rainbow doesn't do anything dumb.

So now it's my job, and for some reason Rainbow Dash's too, to make sure nopony harms Fluttershy, and that Fluttershy harms nopony.

There are things about being immortal that aren't amazing. Twilights friends passed away over a decade ago, and she still cries over them. But are they really gone for good?

This story is a sequel to Can't Stand To Be Apart

After The Cutiemark Crusaders died mysteriously after getting their cutiemarks, Twilight finds a book that might explain it all.

After getting their cutiemarks, the Cutie Mark Crusaders realize that the symbols on their flanks means something. That they are bound together forever, and the markings will not let them separate for even a moment.

Only death will do them part they think. But even then, will it?

Scientists thought they could create something stronger than friendship, something to keep Equestria safe. Beings more powerful than anything else. Alicorns. Made from nothing but machine parts and magic. But soon, they make not only alicorns, but unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies blended into the mix.
Soon they lose track of who's real and who's fake.
