                                                                    "Mist, Sundown in the Sunrise"

Night had never seen a sunset like the one in front of him the small lake gave off a thick mist, that was stand blood red from the sunset the lake was only a short walk from the cabin.

He sighed and a cloud rose up in to his vision and he walked on, the cold long bag rested across his back and the cold metal beneath was not easily ignored but he had stopped noticing it long ago.

His boots made a crunching noise on the frozen puddles along the path.

The mist parted and a tall bright red fox sat proud Night crotchet down, and slid the bag round in to his lap and his finger's found the zipper and pulled it down, sliding his rifle out all the while not taking his eyes of the fox, he automatically pulled the bolt back and reached in to his left pocket.

Freezing metal met his touch he felt three of them on to his fingers and pulled them, out and gently pressed them home in to the rifle and he slid the bolt home and thumbed the safety.

The scope magnified the fox tenfold he could see every hair, on the fox he slowly put the cross hairs on the fox's head then he gently, put presser on the trigger then stopped.

The fox looked down and two fox cubes emerged and looked up, in to their mothers face they could not be more than a few weeks old, he slowly let the presser go and lowed the rifle and looked to at them.

The vixen seemed to look up to Night then she tend and left. *Click click click snick* the rifle was empty he slid it back in to the slip.

"You’re going soft" a hushed voice said behind him "Hello Uncle Si" was all he could say the there was a click and Night knew was about to happen but it never came.

"Luck bastards! Why’d you not shoot" uncle Si asked

"I know the value of life and if there is a point if she is killing to feed I can understand I will let her go." was Nights response

"Soft and rubbish they are an animal that’s all they are." Si stated.

Night slung the rifle on to his back and stood up,  as he was still facing the oppose way he pulled the face mask up over his nose, and the hat covered the top of his head down to his eyebrows all that was visible, was his green eyes he turned to his uncle "Nice to see you."

"You too." Si walked up to Night, and extended his hand Night took it and shook it.

"How’s life?" Night asked Si smiled

"Life is good" a smiled creeping across his face "Lets head back"

The walk was uneventful there was only a few words said between them then the cabin come into view four cars were sitting there.

"Did you bring the family?" Night asked his hope dropping a notch it he would be sleeping on the floor or outside in a tent

"Yep" Si smiled at him Night resisted the thought of hitting him.

"Well I'm sleeping outside" Night said "No thanks to you TWAT!!!" he thought as Si tend and headed to the door Night stared his retreating back then when in after him

Si had not lied there where half a doses kids running around bounding off and over the chairs and the sofa most where around five years old the other family's where there where Si's family, Uncle Tim's family, Aunt Selma and the Squires family they had been close friend of the family for years and had always come on these holidays.

"You might want to check you room they have been in there" Si smiled knowing what that meant to him

"O No!" Night exclaimed "They" meant the triplets and they were the worst bunch of brats in the world and if they had got in to his room...

He pushed past and all the children seemed to jump on him "Get off!" as he retched the door to his room shacking off one of the cousin's from his leg "OFF" and with a flick of his leg the kid rolled along the floor laughing as he pressed the door he felt his hart sink.

The three of them sat on his bed surrounded by feathers the now empty pillow on the floor

Then he looked around his room the continence of his duffle bags scatted across the floor the paper torn up and all over the room the camping gear was well he could not see then he looked to the window the signal tent peg sat there on the windowsill the three kids looked at him his bag of licorice opened and it was empty his headphones held in there hands being pulled apart. That was it.

"GET OUT" Night shouted garbing the three of them and literately threw them out the door as he kicked the door closed all Night could here was crying from the three brats as they landed on the hard wood floor as he wound the head headphones wire up and pushed it in to his inner pocket.

A few minutes later Night walked out of his room the two duffel bags bulging with his stuff.

"What the hell is your problem?" SI shouted at him "Not my problem they behave like that" as he slid the rifle and shotgun in there slips and they rested in between the two duffel bags on his back his trench coat streaming out behind him.

"I'm going out"

"No you’re not you are going the apologist to them" Si shouted at him

"No" Night said calmly and quietly he suddenly felling the dampness in front of his mouth he had left his face mask on and his saliva covered the inside of the thin green fabric he must of been spiting when he had shouting.

He retched for the handle of the front door but was garbed and pulled round.

"Say you’re sorry." "No." a fist met his chin and Night stumbled back on to the door.

The door open and he fell backwards and the back of his head met the stone floor of the porch his vision clouded around the edges.

His granddad was standing over him looking at him on the floor then to his Uncle Si "What is this?" then he grabbed the front of Si's Jacket. “What did you do to him?" "Ask him" SI grabbed granddads hands and ripped them off.

Night spoke from his prone position "Fuck you" he sat up and rubbed the back of his head and his chin "The bastard punched me!"

His granddad was not young man and Si was actually quite a fat man but he lifted Si up ageist the wall "Why did you do it?" a note of danger in his voice "The basted threw my children out of his room lithely!"

"Well they ripped open my pillow, tore up my bed threw my things about the room dangled the tent out the window and ATE MY LICORICE!"

Then granddad lowered Si and then Si pushed him away "He needs to apologies to my children" Granddad pushed Si back "They should be saying sorry to him they trashed his room "It's there room now" Si spat back.

The two men started a shouting match and the others gathered around Night ignored them and decided to stay away for a day or two let it blow over he had done it before on a holiday the same as this

Night had got up and opened the door to leave but something was wrong rather than of the woods and cars there was a well what was a "Black hole" Night said calmly and everyone in the cabin looked to him to see what he was talking about.

Night let out a shout as a he felt a pulling take hold of him and Night grabbed the door frame as his feet where pulled to the black hole in an instant his granddad and uncle Si grabbed his arms using the wall to hide from the pulling force "Hang on" Si shouted "What the hell bloody hell do you think I'm doing!!" Night shouted

"Just keep holding on" his granddad shouted "NO SHIT!!" Night screamed.

Night felt something slip he looked down and saw a boot fly off in to the hole "THERE GOES ONE OF MY GOOD BOOT'S." he shouted.

In the throne room in the castle at Canterlot the portal had just opened above the six ponies in the middle of the circle they had formed each glowing.

Princes Luna stood up her mouth open slightly Celestia was walking around the portal a notebook and a quill following her scribbling in the notebook as she looked in to the portal.

Then an object fell through and landed on the floor and slid along the marble floor and in to a night guard's hoof.

She bent down and sniff’s it then turn a deep green color as she pushed it away.

Night felt his arm's weaken and his hand start to slip Si grabbed it "I'm sorry" Night shouted "No I'm sorry" Si shouted as a knife flashed past and in to the portal.

In the throne room

There was a twang and a another object fell out of the portal it bounced and stuck into the floor next to where the boot was now resting it embedded into the ground quivering as it give a low hum as it vibrated.

There was a flash Night blinked one of his cousins had a camera out and was taking pictures "YOU GORMLESS IDIWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" the hand Si had a hold of slipped then he was dangling there only the hand his granddad holding and he felt his hat slip off and into the portal.

Celestia used her magic and levitated one if the two object that fell out of the portal.

The one that had a metal blade she jugged the blade to be about a hoof long and the handle was what looked like levies and twigs on

The handle was made of a materiel that she didn't know what it was it metal nor leather all the while the quill was dancing along the notebook.

She lowered the object and walked to the object the guard had smelled early but she didn't even get half way there then something much larger shot out and smacked her in the face the soft fabric did not hurt her but she still jumped and then she lifted it off and looked at it.

The fabric formed a form of hat. There were two flaps that seemed to come down and there was some string that seemed to hold the flaps up the there was a shouting and Twilight looked up "What the..."

Outside the window the sun had just risen.
