Chapter 7: A knew pet! Protection and … WHY?!

P.O.V: Rain

I look to the black cat in front of me; it was a small cat with big eyes that are green. I look behind me to find Chrissy glaring at the cat and realized that she had never seen one before. I just had to laugh at her glare toward the small cat.

“Don’t worry Chrissy, it’s just a cat. It won’t hurt a fly… I hope,” Chrissy just continued to stare at the cat and scowled at her, ‘I already checked if it’s a guy or girl… I’m weird, even for my standards.’ So I decided to do the next best thing to show Chrissy she was not going to do anything… maybe. I started to move closer to it and it meowed at me which made Chrissy snarl at the cat. I had to raise my hand to stop Chrissy from scaring the poor fellow. I just continued to walk toward the small cat and when I reached the cat I sat down in front of her. “Hey there little guy…” I said and held out my hand.

The cat looked at it with curiosity in her eyes and pressed her muzzle against my hand. That caused me to smile and start to pet it slowly. Chrissy was still sitting there looking at the cat with blind rage. I didn’t know why she looked so angry. I just guessed I will have to find out later on.

“Come on Chrissy… don’t worry it’s just a small cat. Come pet it,” I told Chrissy. Finally Chrissy did something other than stare and move closer to the cat. It took her some time to actually reach the cat and she extended her hoof toward her… waiting for something? “What are you doing?” I asked Chrissy was just standing there pointing a hoof to the cat.

“Seeing if this ‘cat’ has any manners.” Chrissy told me and I just started to laugh.

“Cats don’t talk and don’t know a lot of things. Cats are used as pets… haven’t you seen one in Equestria?” I asked Chrissy with curios eyes. I was pretty sure cats exited everywhere… maybe.

“I haven’t seen any ‘cats’ in Equestria… well I do live under ground and don’t spend much time above it…” Chrissy trailed off, I had to frown at that but she finally started to pet the small cat. I gave Chrissy a smile when she started to pet the cat. I was an animal lover even though I didn’t like cats that much this one was different.

“If this is a stray, would you want to keep it with us?” I asked; I really did want a pet… even a cat.

“Well… it does look cute and… is it dangerous?” Chrissy asked and going wide eyed while pulling her hoof away for the feline instantly. I just shook my head and she relaxed a bit. “I guess it will be fun to have a pet…” Chrissy said and I smiled at her which she returned.

“How about Kat for her name?” I asked and Chrissy nodded, “Alright, let’s go in and rest for the day and maybe throw in some magic practice, shall we?” I asked and Chrissy nodded again. We enter my house and closed the door while the cat still followed us to the living room. We sat down and started to practice some of our magic but for some reason I started to look more often at Chrissy. I trailed down her entire body but when I reached her flank I averted my gaze and started to concentrate on my magic. While we were levitated a lot of objects at the same time I couldn’t get my mind of Chrissy, ‘Am I starting to fee- no, Rain; it’s probably nothing… focus on my magic… but what if… no… just no, that can’t be the reason-’ I was interrupted from my thinking when I heard giggling. I saw what I was looking at and I had to look away quickly trying to supress a small blush.

“Enjoy the view?” Chrissy teased. I just rolled my eyes and pretended nothing happened. I was standing at the time and she was in front and to the side of me while this ‘incident’ happened. I was just too embarrassed to say something so I just continued to do more complex spells; such as changing the glass color to something different or trying to lift just water, nothing more. We did this for a while when I heard a purr beside me… I have completely forgotten about the cat so I looked down and saw the cat rubbing herself against me. I didn’t really know what she wanted though.

“Hey buddy. I’ll be right back Chrissy, I think she needs something.” Chrissy nodded and I went to the fridge to grab some milk. I was pretty sure she wanted some of that. I got a deep bowl and poured some milk in it and gave it to her.

“Meow!” Kat meowed and started to drink the milk. I just had to smile; it was way too cute. I think I could’ve died in all the adorableness when it was licking happily away.

“I will be in the living room trying out more magic, if you need anything just come and ask.” I told the cat but immediately shook my head forgetting she can’t understand me… but then it meowed with what looked like a nod… I was just really confused as to the act. I decided to not pay much mind to it and go back to my magic practice with my Chrissy… ‘My Chrissy? What am I thinking; I think I truly do l- no just no, calm. The. Fuck. Down. NOW!’ I screamed in my head.

I just continued on my way to the living room. When I entered Chrissy seemed to instantly brighten up and smile a bit but I wasn’t sure. I just thought I was seeing things now. I gave her a smile ‘back’ and started to train my magic again. I trained with Chrissy for maybe ten minutes until we heard a certain meow from behind us. I looked back and as suspected I saw Kat. I swear I think I saw it smile at me! The cat then turned and walked away; I don’t know where it went, so I kept training.

“Where do you think that cat went?” I asked Chrissy once the cat left from site. As soon as I asked that question I felt as if I was being watched… I turned my head to the window, trying to find where that feeling came from but I only saw the trail leading down to the ocean, nothing more…

“I don’t know… maybe home?” Chrissy said but her head snapped back to where I was looking. I think she felt it too. her muzzle had a look of uneasiness to it and a hint of curiosity as well. “Did you feel that…?” Chrissy trailed of looking at the window still.

“It feels like I’m being watched… do you feel that too?” I asked, worried for her safety. I knew if someone found Chrissy… bad things will happen. I also knew that we are in a secluded area and no-one will dare set foot near my house. I didn’t feel safe anymore… I stood up before Chrissy could say anything; I went straight to my room and to my closet.

I opened the closet and moved some cloths to find a secret compartment; a false wall. Inside there is a safe. This home used to be my grandfather and he was a war hero, so he carried weapons everywhere. I used the combination and opened it… ‘It’s time… there is no other way…” Inside there was two Colt M1911A1, .45 caliber guns with three magazines each, fully loaded and four boxes, with 50 rounds of ammunition each. ‘Sorry grandpa, I need them now. I need to keep Chrissy safe.’ I thought with closed eyes to my grandfather; if he could hear it I think he will understand the situation.

I relocked everything and went to the living room where I drew all the curtains down and put the two guns with ammunition down on the table. Instantly Chrissy’s eyes went extremely wide. I think she saw what these weapons can do on the history channel.

“Chrissy, I don’t feel safe anymore. We both have magic and you are a completely different species… If you were to get caught… the government will experiment on you till you die. I am pretty sure you know exactly what this is and what it can do. I want you to be safe and have this gun on you at all times, or near you.” I said to Chrissy with a straight face on. This is getting extremely serious now.

“Wow… I never knew you had guns…” Chrissy said in a whisper, that I could barely hear. I could see the evil grin she had and I could not help myself and chuckled.

“Before we leave earth I want to get as much ammo as possible. I know we can enchant these bullets and make them have different aspects to them as well. Plus, I need to modify them for a silencer so if we do decide to… kill, we will be ready,” I let out a sigh; I knew the war we were going to go through is going to be though and these weapons should make things a lot easier. “I have used them before so I know they are good to use. I will see if we can get more weapons on our way there,” I said and paused a bit before continuing, “Once we get there I need you to hide these in a vault and let no-one ever come near them except us, of course.”

“This will make things easier… I still don’t understand something though,” Chrissy said while holding one of the guns in her magical grasp, “Why won’t we just get to Celestia and Luna and just pull the trigger on them?” I just sighed; I knew she would ask this but I was prepared for this anyway.

“We can’t. If we do that, the ponies there will consider us evil instantly and then over through us. I want them to see that we are good. Some ponies will be happy if we do this to the two tyrants but others will be very angry with us for changing their life like that.” I explained and Chrissy just nodded.

“You are right, again. We will have to stick to your plan to do this. I doubt my swarm can go up against all of Equestraia.” Chrissy said and sighed.

“You know… I would love to do that, just kill them on site but we can’t,” I said and then continued, “OK, I will teach you everything to this gun now so relax… this is going to take a while. Alright, the first thing is it can hold 7 rounds in one magazine-“ I continued to explain everything I knew about the gun. Chrissy seemed to know quite a bit about the gun but I still taught her more. By the time I finished explaining everything there was to know about the gun, it was already 8 pm by that time and Chrissy was a gun expert now. I was so proud that I could teach her everything so quickly and that she learned so quickly as well.

We decided to go to sleep around 10 after we finished with training more of our magic and learning more about how we can enchant the gun and the bullets. I finally figured out how to teleport myself but I get ETREMLY tired after it… I also learned some enchantments for my gun which included; explosive rounds but not extremely strong, and bullets that will decrease their velocity after a long time or until they hit something. All my spells are weak compered to Chrissy’s except for my levitation spell which seamed the same – if not better – as hers. The best part is I finally learned a shield that can stop a bullet. Maybe next time I will learn more complex spells.

We walked into my room and turned on the lights… well I was really surprized as to what I saw. I saw that the cat was laying on the foot of the bed and sleeping peacefully. We didn’t bother her and just got into bed before falling asleep.

--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)—

I awake to the sound of someone in the kitchen dropping something. I look to the side and see Chrissy still sleeping so I decided to get out of bed and check on the noise. I put on some cloths before going to the kitchen… the next thing I know is I’m staring into a gun barrel. My anger started to go up as I realized that I was being robbed!

“Get down on the floor and I won’t hurt you!” The man said. I just smiled once I got down. I was going to use my levitation to really beat him up… badly. I had a nice hunting knife on the counter so I started to slowly levitate it. His gun was still pointing at my direction but I’m going to make him pay now.

I start to levitate the knife to his hand that was holding the gun and then I reacted… extremely violently. I thrusted my knife right into his arm and twisted really hard. I heard him scream and drop the gun to the floor. Already there was a large amount of blood spilled on the floor. He reacted and wanted to jump me but he was too late, before he could get up I stood up and used all my force to stomp on his leg. It broke with a gut wrenching crack followed by another scream. My sadistic side was starting to act up now, as he screamed.

“I am going to make you pay for ever considering coming to this house.” I said calmly. My sadistic side finally got hold of me and I was going to kill him slowly. The concept of killing anything was scary but once my father died I stopped giving a shit. I grab my knife and stab it in his right leg due to the other one being broken. He screamed again and I heard him sob. I removed his mask and took a look at him. He was a very skinny man, boney cheeks and overall he looked like a drug addict. His hair was black and he was white. Then suddenly he punched me right in the face. ‘Yup, that’s leaving a mark.’ I thought and sighed, it really didn’t hurt much once I figured how to control my pain.

I am really getting tired of him now so I grabbed his arm and snapped it first at the wrist, then his upper arm and then a strong punch to the collar bone. Each time I broke one of his bones I would hear a scream of utter pain.

“That will teach you to punch me.” I said clearly annoyed of such an act. I flipped him over and pushed my hunting knife right where his sacrum is. His screams at this point are insanely loud so I grabbed a cloth and gaged him with it. I flipped him back over and started to drag him by the legs and out the back door. I really didn’t want any more blood on my floor. Alright; note to self, need to get adrenaline shots to Equestria for extreme torture, for information. I knew I’m insane for doing this to a living being but I remembered how bad he looked. I had a feeling I’m just putting him out of his misery. I brought the knife to the back of his neck, “Goodbye… see ya in hell.” I said before stabbing him at the base of his skull. That was it I have killed someone and with such ease.

I just stared at his body shocked that I could do something so cruel but it felt… right. I heard Chrissy walk outside from the back door and to me. I had an unamused look on my face. When Chrissy reached me she put a hoof on my shoulder and I looked back. She was smiling however and asked calmly as well.

“First kill?” I just nodded. I was on my knees and still holding the knife that I had plunged into the guy. “its fine it’s not that bad… well, never mind. It is bad… You know I’m starting to like you more and more by each day and this… just made me like you even more…” She looked at me with half closed eyes and a sly smile on her muzzle.

“This makes me a killer now… and for some reason it feels like this was nothing.” I said and sighed. Chrissy surprized me with a warm embrace that I really enjoyed. We held each other for a while until I spoke up, “I will see who this is and see what he has on him.” I went through all his pockets and found his wallet and a bag of… meth?! So I was right about him being a drug addict. I quickly threw it away and burnt it with my magic until there was nothing. I looked in his wallet and found no money but his driving licence… with a mug shot and six more rounds for his gun. “23 years old, Conor Limbone… Arrested for drug use.” I then threw it away as well and burned it to nothingness but I kept the extra six rounds. That makes a total of 12 rounds for his gun.

“Why do you keep burning things?” Chrissy asked with a raised eye brow. “Don’t worry about what happens here; in Equestria this will mean nothing.”

“So no-one will know it was me that did it. Getting rid of evidence. I need help burning his body up now so nothing is left.” I said and started to prepare for burning the body, “OK. One, two, and, three!” I said and then we both shot out a very powerful wave of heat that incinerated the body with no trace left with it. I picked up my knife and we entered back home…

“I’ll clean this up. I know of a quick way of doing this.” Chrissy’s horn began to glow and all the blood started to float up and then a small flash. Nothing was left I knew she burnt it all. I picked up the small revolver he dropped.

“We have another gun, Chrissy.” I told her smiling a bit. Getting guns will be easier than expected with us getting attacked again. I looked over the gun again and said, due to my gun addiction I knew exactly what it was, “Smith & Wesson Model 586 with .357 magnum cartridges… old gun.” I told Chrissy with a smirk.

“Well, you sure do know a lot about guns, Rain.” Chrissy said and smiled at me.

“I studied a lot of them,” I said with a smirk. “The first time I saw a gun, I knew that I want to study them to an extent.” I finished looking down at the gun I was holding. It had an old wooden handle attached to it that was spray painted black. It was a pretty good gun at close range so this will do nicely in close combat.

“I think it paid off, don’t you think?” Chrissy asked looking at the gun I was holding. I simply nodded; I couldn’t really talk I was still kind of shocked that I could do something as bad as murder. I have to keep reminding myself that what happens in this world stays in this world. ‘I hope I don’t have to kill anymore… I went too far this time.’ I thought with a heavy sigh.

Soon after we went to sleep…

--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)--(0)—

I am in a room with the guy I killed screaming at me that I killed him. Behind him I was guessing, was his parents but their faces were blurry. I can see them crying asking, ‘why I would do such a thing’ or ‘how could you do this’ but I couldn’t answer. I was on the floor kneeling before the guy I killed; I had a look of utter terror on my face.

“You killed me…” Conor mumbled, looking directly at me with tears pouring from his eyes. I couldn’t do anything, “Your heartless…” Conor continued but soon after his body turned into the one I stabbed. Soon after… he was gone nothing more than ashes on the ground. His mother screaming and crying at the site of his ashes.

“Why…?” Conor’s father asked trying to hold back tears. I tried explaining why I did it but nothing came out of my mouth, slowly everything started to fade into nothingness…
