A stallion with no name. Abandoned at birth. Surviving on his own since the beginning. Surviving with voices and hallucinations. He's close to just ending himself, but this changes when he falls in love.

Once upon a time in Canterlot, there was a colt who was just born. But his mother, not accepting his appearance, put him in a box and into an alley. That colt grew up on his own. Learning everything himself. He taught himself how to speak, write, and walk. He never knew what love was. In fact, he never understood those emotions he felt. He never knew what they were. But one day, while he was in Ponyville, he spotted a beautiful peagsus, and finally understood how love felt.

A Strange Pony

I hate this place I thought as I walked through the streets of Canterlot. Maybe I should go to that town...Ponyville,,,,Sounds like a nice place....Alright! I'm going to Ponyville!

No you're not. This is your home. Not some dirt town.

    "I don't want to deal with you right now so go away."

Oh, but I can't go away. For I. Am you.

    "Stop your damn nonsense! I'm not listening anymore.!"

You can't ignore m-

    "Lalalallalalala!" Okay...where's the train station? I wandered around aimlessly for a few minutes, having ponies threaten me just because I looked different. Damn Canterlot assholes.Oh! There it is! I flew over to the train looking for any place I could hide on the ride. Luckily, I found a small (I don't know what it's called. It's that thing in the train where Ditzy is in the opening theme.). I flew up to it, and found another pony there.

    "Hiya!" She said. I looked her over. Finding a scar on her head. She had a wall eyed stare, a seemingly innocent smile, and brilliant golden eyes.

    "H-hi."

    "What's you name?" I looked down, remembering I don't have a name.

    "I...I don't know...." A few moments passed, which felt like hours.

    "WHAAAAA?" Her neck stretched back to what seemed an impossible length.

    "H-how are you doing that?" Her head slowly came back to it's right spot, but in a way that sent shivers down my spine. She must be one of those ponies. The ones who can break the laws of physics...Strange ones they are.

    "How can you not know your own name?" It seems my question went unheard.

    "I...I don't want to talk about it." A long silence passed before I spoke up again. "May I know your name?"

    "Ditzy! Ditzy Doo! The best mail carrier in Ponyville. Though ponies would say otherwise."

    Wait...Ponyville? "Do you live in Ponyville?"

    "Yes I do!"

    "What's it like?" She took a second to think.

    "It's...Nice. A lot nicer then these big city places. The ponies are nice, everyone actually cares for one another, and...It just feels more like home then any other place you'll ever visit." Knowing this I smiled. The place was as nice as it sounded. I closed my eyes. I wonder what waits for me in Ponyville.

    "Hey. Wake up. We're here." I felt myself being shooken softly.

    "Uuuh...Wha?" I slowly opened my eyes, and saw that gray mare from before.

    "We're here!"

    "Huh!?" I immediately sat up and looked out. "So this is Ponyville?"

    "Yup~! Now come on! We need to get off before the train takes off again!"

    "Oh...Yeah." I got up and flew out with this golden eyed Pegasus.

    "This is your first time here right?" I nodded. "I should show you around!" Hm...I should...

NO! She's a threat! She could take you down right now!

    "Ugh! I thought you stopped back at Canterlot! Just shut up!"

    "Wh-wha?" I turned and realized that it seemed like I was talking to her.

    "Oh! Nononononno. I wasn't talking to you." Ditzy cocked her head.

    "What do you mean? There's no other pony around."

    "I...I know....It's just...Nothing....So can you show me around?" Ditzy brightened up at this.

    "Yeah! Come on!" She took my hoof and ran off, dragging me behind. "First I'll show you The Library." They have a library? YEEEEEEES! She took me to a building that was...A...Tree....

    "Um...Ditzy?"

    "Yeah?"

    "Why is...The library a tree?"

    Ditzy giggled. "It's just a building style around here. Not a lot of ponies like it though. Only The library, Zecoras' hut, and Fluttershys' cottage are trees." I sat there....Trying to understand that, but my thoughts were quickly interrupted by the blond pony dragging me off once again.

    This time we were infront of a....I don't quite know. I saw dresses through the window so I guessed it had to do with fashion or something, I never really understood fashion. "This is Raritys' Carousel Boutique! Home to Ponyvilles Rarity! She's one of the Eements of Harmony ya know?"

    "The elements of what?" Of course, never having access to the news in any way, I don't know about those famous ponies.

    "You don't know the Elements of Harmony?!"

    "...No..."

    Ditzy shook her head. "You don't get out much do you?"

    "I'm actually always out..." Ditzy took a look of suspicion.

    "Well...You can ask about them in the library. I'm not the best story telling pony. I always get off topic." That scar...I really wonder if it has anything to do with her eyes

    "May I ask about that scar on your head?" Ditzy looked down.

    "Nothing." That's all she said before she flew off.

    "W-Wait!" She didn't stop for me though. She just kept flying. I knew I shouldn't have asked.

    I looked around...And realized I have no idea where I am. I sighed. I guess I have to ask the pony in here for directions.Hmmm...Raritys' Carousel Boutique. Sounds interesting. I thought as I walked up to the door of the store. I knocked, three times to be exact, and heard some rustling from inside. The door swung open to reveal a white Unicorn with a purple mane. "Hello! Please come in." I walked in.

    "Um...Do you know how to get to the library from here?"

    "Why yes darling." She gave me the directions and I thanked her. As I reached the library I saw a small dragon.Oh no oh no nononononononononoOooooo! I started to back away some, in fear that he would burn me if I got to close. I saw a purple Unicorn talking to him. IS SHE CRAZY? I knew I had to do something! Or she would get hurt!

    "H-hey!" she looked over at me.

    "Yes?" I immediately shut up...I don't know why but I couldn't speak. Since I couldn't talk, I pointed at the dragon. She laughed.

"Don't worry! He won't hurt you!" I started to wonder if this pony was a lunatic. That's when she told him to introduce myself. He started walking over to me. I freaked out...My vision started fading black. Then...I passed out.

Voices

    I woke up in a strange room. A foreign one. I sat up. Where am I?

SEE! WHAT DID I TELL YOU!?

Leave him alone damn it!

Be quiet you filthy slut!

    "Hey! Too bucking far you asshole!"

    "Who are you talking to?" The voice made me nearly jump out of my skin. "Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!"

    "No no...It's alright..."

    "Well...I brought you some food. You were passed out for a pretty long time so...I thought you'd be hungry." She levitated a plate over to me. Looking at it, it consisted of a daisy sandwhich, some water, and some hayfries.

    "Th-thanks." Never seeing this kind of food before I poked it. Expecting some kind of reaction.

    "Um...What are you doing?" I looked up at her.

    "Trying to find out what it does." She cocked her head.

    "W-what?"

    "Ya know? Trying to see if it reacts to my poking."

    "Are...You okay? Do I need to get a doctor?"

    "What? No...No..."

DON'T EAT IT! IT'S POISINED! The screaming voice made me jump.

    "WILL YOU EVER SHUT THE BUCK UP!?"

    "Um...Who are you talking to?" I looked back at her, realizing I just yelled out into nothing infront of somepony else.

    "N-no one." She took a look of suspicion, almost looked like Ditzys.

    "O....Okay..."

SHE'S GOING TO TRY AND KILL YOU! RUN AWAY YOU BUCKING FOOL!

    "No she wouldn't!...Would she? Um...Excuse me."

    "Yeah?"

    "w-would you ever try to kill me?" She gasped.

    "Wh-what? No! Of course not!"

    "See!? What did I say? She wouldn't."

LIES!

    "Shut up."

    "I'm....Going to do some research now...Would you like anything?"

    "Um...No I'm good..."

    "Okay." She left. Good, this gives me some time with these voices. What was that? She's telling that dragon to watch me? Oh Celestia...

Listen.

    "What?"

She is an alicorn, therefore most likely she is a princess.

    "Yeah, so?"

We can kill her! Make her suffer! It's the Princesses fault this is what we're like! You can have your revenge!

    "No. If there is anyone to blame it is that mare I never knew as a mother."

Then find your mother and end her!

    "There are two things wrong with that. One; I would never, ever, ever kill another pony. Two; I don't know where she is nor do I know what she looks like. So therefor, I would never know how to find her."

I hate you.

    "Well I don't care." I turned to see that dragon listen to me. I started to panic just a little, so I flew up to a corner,

    "Who...Who are you talking to?"

    "No one...."

    "No...You were talking to somepony."

    "No I wasn't...Please don't hurt me."

    "Hurt you? Why would I hurt you? If I did Twilight would probably throw me across Equestria." I started to calm down a bit.

    "So...You won't hurt me?"

    "Of course not!" I flew over to him...Then poked his scales.

    "So this is what a baby dragon feels like...A lot softer then a full grown dragon..."

    "..." I yawned.

    "Well...I'm going to go to sleep now...Don't eat me while I'm asleep."

    "Don't worry! I don't eat pony! I eat gems and what not." I closed my eyes, slightly over my fear of this dragon.

    I was running. Running away from me...I was trying to kill...Me...I kept running...And running....Until I tripped. "N-no! Please don't hurt me!"

Ты убил его. Теперь вы должны погасить свои долги  It spoke in a language I didn't understand...And the way it spoke...Was demonic...It started to raise up the knife. He brought it down, stabbing into my leg. I wasn't sure if this was a dream or reality because I could feel all the pain. He stabbed me again. And again. and again. All I could do was sit there and scream...Until he brought the knife down into my skull...

    "AAAAAAAAH!" I was breathless. Panting. I wasn't sure what just happened.

    "H-hey! Are you alright?"

    "N-no...He's back...I...I need to go."

    "Wait! What? Who's back? Why do you need to go?"

    "I just need to leave...Now! Or else some innocent pony might die." The dragon stood there. Trying to process what he just heard. I started to fly out the window. "Tell that pony I needed to leave for personal reasons." And with that, I left. Hopefully nothing happens to anypony.
