Night is back

Chapter 4

The Past Part 2

Night laid in a corner of the library. His ears were splayed back and Frost was doing her best to cheer him up. She has tried telling jokes to sexual harassments, but nothing was getting him out of this slum. She was about to try offering an ice cream, but that would just make him more sad then he already was. So she just stood there in fort of him, thinking of some way to make him happy.

She was going to give up when Night spoke up. “I’m quitting the guard.” His voice was cold and lifeless. As if he lost all reasons for living. “My sister hates me, so there’s no need to protect the country if she doesn’t want me.”

Frost rolled her eyes. She never saw him like this before, but she knew that he was just in shock and needed to be thrown out of it. She thought for a second before realizing what to do. “Tell me about her.” Night got up and shaked his messy mane.

Night sighed. “It’s been eight years Frost, I don’t know her anymore.”

Frost crossed her front legs. “What a pussy.”

Night recoiled at that. He was called many things, but a pussy was not one of them. He raised an eyebrow, “Excuse me?”

“You heard me,” Frost said. “The Night Dash I know would do everything he could to rekindle the relationship that he has lost.”

The Black stallion gritted his teeth. It’s true that he does everything he can to make things right. But he felt that this was different. Rainbow stuck to him like glue when she was a filly and Night loved that. Now that she said that she hates him, it broke his heart. He joined the Elites to protect his sister form what red tape wouldn’t let the regular military do. She was his drive and now that she’s gone he feels empty.

“Now,” The ice blue mare started, “Tell me the last good memory you have of your sister.” The black stallion shifted in thought.

“Well… it was a month before I left for guard training and Rainbow for flight school.” He put a hoof to his chin. “I was about 13 and I was argent as Tartarus.”

……………

Night was at the race track bragging about a race he won yesterday to some fillies. He always did this, no matter how much trouble he got into with their coltfriends, he always did it. The fillies giggled, when two male pegasi flew over. On had a white coat and blond mane the other had a red coat and blue mane. When they looked at Night they all got disgusted.

The blond maned stallion walked up straight up to Night and said. “Well if it isn’t the second best flier in Equestria.” He liked doing this to Night, getting him angry.

Night took a few steps away from the teenaged fillies. “You know what Kane?” he spat out his name.

Kane gave a smile to the fillies. He was one of the coolest ponies in school, but Night had more friends and much cooler in school. “I saw your race. It was pitiful,” he posed. He opened his wings, lifted his right hoof and turned his head to look at the teen fillies.

“My little sister could beat you in a race with no problem.” But Night got over Kane, making him mad and now it was time for payback. “I mean your wing power is what? Five?” He gave a small smile. “Mine is up to ten, and I’m only 13.”

Kane kept his composer and gave another try at getting under Night’s skin. “I’ll beat your sister in a race and then beat her plot until it bleeds.” He gave an evil smile. “Then I’ll make something else bleed.”

Night snorted. No pony… NO PONY said anything like that to.  Night got in Kane’s face and growled “You, me, race, NOW!”

Kane chuckled and got on the starting point of the track. “Let’s go you rainbow maned faggot.” Night was right next to Kane in a starting position. He was clearly pissed and wanted pay back and a race wasn’t going to cut it. This was just the start of the pain he was going to cause him.

A referee flew up and razed his hoofs. He looked left and right at the track. It was a half mile long and was used for drag-racing. A minute later he dropped them and the two preteen stallions were off. Kane had a fare lead on Night and was about ready to win when a blur of rainbow color cam swooping past him. A second later Night was at the finish line stretching his huge wings.

When Kane got enough close to Night, the black pegasus hit him in mid-flight straight into his chest, sending the air and blood out of his mouth. Kane fell on the cloud-ground in a second. Night flew down and stepped on his throat. He was pressing harder and harder, until he heard a snap what echoed through the thin air. Kane coughed more blood out and was gasping for air. Night was getting ready for his final blow, when a guard tackled him away from Kane.

Night was fighting with the guard. He hit the guard in the bare part of his face but it didn’t faze him. The guard hit Night in the rib cage. It wasn’t hard enough to break bones but it did nock the wind out of him. After the guard restrained Night, he sent him off to the guard station and then went to go see how bad Kane was. Later that day Night was charged with assault and resisting arrest. He was going to be sent to juvenile hall, but his mother was a high official in Cloudsdale so she got him out, but it was at a price. Night had to nurse Kane back to help.

…………

“Wait” Frost held out her hooves. “That can’t be you. I mean, you’ve been in this situation before and you’ve never acted like that!”

Night looked at Frost for a minute before answering. “Well Frost, that was before the guard. And trust me, the rest of the story helped form me to who I am today.”

…………..

“You’re going to take care of that poor colt and that’s final!” Night’s mom said in a stern voice. It had been three weeks since what happened at the race track and now Night is paying for it. “And Rainbow fell off of the roof since you just had to race. You will have to take care of here too.”

“What! When did THIS happen and why am I just being told now!” he demanded to know. His little sister was his life and if something happened to her… well let’s just say a broken neck was the last thing somepony was going to get.

“You were in jail.” His mother answered coldly.

Night’s ears drooped. “Oh… yeah.”

“Come on, the flight to the hospital takes an hour and your sister wants to see you.” The flight to the hospital was long and quiet. Every time Night looked over at his mother he was met with a cold stare. In the stare was a mixture of fear and disappointment. Disappointment at herself, for not sending Night to anger management classes. Disappointment because he was turning more and more into his father, Not that, that’s a bad thing, but his father had problems like this when he was Night’s age.

When they finally got to the hospital, Night immediately rushed to the reception desk. “WHERE’S MY SISTER? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER? IF YOU DON’T FUCKING TELL ME RIGHT NOW I’LL-“

“Night Dash, language!” He was getting ready to say a pretty gory thing but his mother cut him off.

“Sorry mom.” He said in an ‘I don’t care’ tone. His mother swatted him upside the head and proceeded to walk to the reception desk.

She cleared her throat and began to speak in a softer tone then she did with her son. “Ma’am, can you please tell me where my daughter is? Her name is Rainbow Dash.”

The nurse picked up a clip board and started to flip through the pages on it. “Let’s see… D” She stopped on one page and started to run her hoof down it looking for the right name. “D a, ah her it is!” She looked up from the clip board. “She’s in room 212.”

Night’s mom nodded. “Thank you.” She turned and started to walk down the hall with Night in tow. They said hello to an elderly woman that was a friend of their family, a war hero that fought in the Griffon wars, and a nurse because they go lost. They reached Rainbow’s room and opened the door. Rainbow looked to the door and jumped out of her bed. She ran to her mother and gave her a hug.

“I’m guessing since she’s as energetic as usual that she’ll be fine.” Her father nodded then turned to Night.

“Outside boy.” That was all that Night needed to hear to know that he was in deep trouble. He went outside the room watching his flank. Once the two were outside his father laid it on him. “Night Dash I don’t care what he said or did. If I will ever hear a rumor that you did something like this, you will be back in a cell before you can say a word.” His father was nearly shouting at the top of his lungs. “Do you understand me, young stallion?”

Night rolled his eyes. “Yes dad.”

“And don’t roll your eyes at me!” He trotted to the nurse’s desk. He spoke with a softer voice than before. “Ma’am, can you tell me where the young stallion named Kane is?”

The white mare at the desk flipped through the pages on her desk. She was humming a tune from the up incoming artist, mare pegasi. Night gave her six years and she would be gone like the wind.

…………

“Hang on, I thought this was going to be a story about you and Rainbow not this Kane guy.”

‘Again, Frost! If she’ll keep doing this I’m going to put a muzzle on her,’ Night thought. “Yes, and if you would shut up, I’ll get to that part,” he said with a fake smile.

She shrugged. “Fine, now you don’t get the surprise that I was going to give you.”

He razed an eye brow. “What surprise?”

Frost’s eyes were half open and a small smile came to her face. “You’ll never know now.”

His facial features lowered when he figured out what she was talking about. He slid a hoof down his face hard enough to pull his skin. He groaned, “Oh, buck me!” Frost gave a light giggle at him. “Let’s just get back to the story.”

………………

Night trotted to Kane’s Room, he hated this guy and the fact that he had to take care of him was even worse than being in the same room with him. Jail wasn’t looking so bad now. He opened the door and saw Kane in his bed. He had a neck brace and had a cast on his chest. There was an I.V. next to him. For a second, just a second Night felt bad for what he did.

“What are you doing here fag?” And now it’s gone. Night was getting ready to walk out of the room but his father stopped him.

Night turned around and rolled his eyes. “I have to take care of you until you get better.” Night felt sick just saying those words. It was like eating molten lava or swallowing acid to him. Night swallowed the lump in his throat and continued. “So what do you need?” This is going to suck for the black Pegasus.

A smile went across Kane’s face. “I need my bed pan changed.”

There was no way in Tartarus he was going any ware near Kane’s crotch. “You want me to put my hoofs near your balls?” Night ask. “Gay.”

Kane’s eyes went wide. “I am not!” He protested. Night smiled, maybe taking care of this guy wouldn’t be so bad.

“Well you want me to take your bed pan.” Night suppressed a laugh as Kane was turning bright red. “Which means you want me to go near your balls.”

Kane shook his head. “I’ll just have the nurse get it.” He said with a shaky voice. “Go get me some lunch.” He was still shaky, but he was calming down. “I’ll take a daffodil and daisy sandwich with a side of hay fries and a pony cola.” Night shook his head and left the room. Once outside he started to laugh about what just happened.

…………….

Night came out of the memory of his foalhood because a purple blur came flying through the door. Both Night and Frost jumped into a fighting stance on reflex. The blur banked left and collided with a book case. Frost slowly trotted to the pile of books that was made by the blur. She poked it with her right hoof. A second later she heard a groan. She started to shift books until she saw a horn, followed by a plain purple mane cut. Frost started to move books faster to reveal princess Twilight Sparkle. She was badly beaten. She had blood covering her face, her right eye was back and closed. She also had blood coming from her mouth and nose. After they dug the princess out of the books she only muttered few words.

“Rainbow… trouble… Germane.”
