Chapters The 3 ponies approached us. "Great... It's these guys..." I said quietly. One of the three ponies was a brown bodied, blue-maned, and orange-eyed stallion, another was a blue bodied, yellow-maned, and brown-eyed stallion, and finally the leader of them, a red bodied, brown-maned, and black-eyed stallion. "What'd you say, Redhead?" The leader asked me in an angry tone. "Just try to ignore these ponies..." I whispered to Storm. "Hey Goyle. Who's this?" The leader asked the brown bodied pony while pointing at Storm. "She's the new student, Dre" Goyle answered to the leader. "Heh...A new pony to overrule." Dre chuckled as he went near Storm.I could see fear in Storm's eyes.I won't let her do anything to her! "You leave her alone!" I said as I stood between Dre and Storm. "Or what? What're you going to do?" Dre asked "You're too afraid to do anything like you are.". "Oh yeah? I don't think that the officers near us would be afraid to get you out of here." I responded. Dre looked around and saw the officers. "Tch. You got lucky this time... But next time you won't be as lucky.." Dre scoffed and walked back with his 2 other ponies following behind him. "What...was that?" Storm asked. "Dre and his stupid company... The enemies of practically everypony here, but they're too afraid to do anything and the officers don't believe anypony's story unless they see it happen." I responded as I sat next to Storm. "Oh...It was very brave of you to stick up for me." Storm said "I've never seen or had a pony besides my parents do that for me". "Really?" I questioned. "Yeah." She responded. "Well...Guess I'm the first then!" I said while chuckling a little.
The rest of the day was really awesome because I was almost always talking to Storm. The end of the school day bell rang and we were walking out, talking to each other. "Hm?" I asked myself when I just caught a glimpse of Dre and his 2 backup ponies in a distance looking at me and Storm. "Hey Storm....Mind if I fly you to your house?" I asked, still looking at Dre and his 2 backup ponies. "Not at all!" she responded happily. We flew out of the house and suddenly Dre rushed at me knocking me down while his 2 backup ponies came flying at me when I was falling due to the impact. "This is what happens when you mess with me!" Dre yelled as he flew towards me. I tried flying but Goyle punched me in the gut with massive power. I crashed down on the ground and saw Dre and his 2 ponies, but I also saw Storm with tears in her eyes and 2 of her hooves on her mouth. Dre and his 2 ponies kept punching me and I shielded myself with my wings but I could still feel their punches due to how much power was used in each punch. After a while, they decided to leave me. "You better not question me ever again!" Dre said while kicking me one last time in the stomach and left. I had so many bruises over my body and had some blood dripping out of my mouth and nose. "Oh my Celestia..." Storm said quietly as she flew towards me and my beat up body. I got up and had my hair cover my face. "Wait! Storm!" She said while trying to grab one of my hooves, but I flew too fast. I flew back to my house and had tears dripping out of my eyes. It wasn't due to the pain....but it was due to how pathetic I looked in front of Storm and how dishonored I felt...
After a while, I ate dinner and tried to recover the experience I just had. "....Damn it...." I said to myself "I can't believe it...". I heard a knock on my door and I walked towards it. "Hello?" I said. The mailmare stood in front of me and looked at her clipboard. "Are you...Leonart Tryax?" The mailmare asked. "Yes..." I answered. "Alright. This letter is for you." The mailmare stated while giving me the letter and left. "Huh...I usually don't get letters unless it's from my family..." I took the letter in and closed the door. "I wonder who it's from..." I said as I started opening the envelope "Alright...Let's see....Wait....This is from... STORM?!". I was surprised at how she knew my address and the fact that she sent a letter to me. Nevertheless, I started reading her letter.
Dear Leon,
I'm sorry that you got beat up. I felt awful when you got beat and...I feel as if it was my fault that you got beat up. Oh and I'm guessing that you're curious of how I know your address. Well... I followed you to your house to see how you were and saw your house! It's very pretty! I hope you get better because....You're my one and only friend in this school and....well...I don't want to see you hurt both emotionally and physically.
Sincerely, Storm Gazer
P.S. You're my neighbor. I'm in the house that is the right of your house. It's right next to yours! I
I walked towards my living room window and looked through it and I saw Storm in her house eating dinner. "Huh....Guess she was right. I can't believe it!...." I said while walking to my kitchen "But damn... I won't be able to stand up for myself or Storm...Unless....I train!". I ventured out to the gym and did some exercises and when I noticed that it was getting really late, I went back home and slept the night out. "...Revenge will be mine..." I said before I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning and saw Storm getting ready for school. I went and ate breakfast, got ready for school, and left my house. However, I saw Storm in front of me and wondered why she was there. "Not trying to be rude but....Why're you here?" I asked politely. "Oh. Well since we're both going to the same class, I thought of walking with you to school. If you're fine with that..." She answered. "Nonononono! I'm completely fine with that! I was just....wondering since I haven't really flew or walked with anypony." I replied. "Really? Same here..." She said. For the next couple of minutes, Storm and I didn't say anything. "Oh hey...There it is." I said, pointing at the school. "Ummm...Leon? Can I ask you something?" Storm said. "Yeah sure. What's up?" I replied. "Are you feeling better? Because of that incident yesterday?" She asked me, concerned. "Yeah...I'm fine." I answered.
We entered the school and went through the day as usual. When it was time to go, I told Storm that I had to go and get some stuff from my locker. "Alright. Meet you near the exit?" She asked. "Yeah." I answered. I got my books and put it inside my bag and walked towards the exit and saw that Dre and the others were bullying her. "Dre!" I yelled angrily. "Hm?" He said as he looked at me "Ha! Looks like you didn't learn your lesson. You want more?". I walked towards Dre and his crew. "Go teach him a lesson!" Dre commanded his two ponies and they came charging at me. I dodged both of them and kicked them towards the lockers. "You won't bother her anymore...I'll make sure of it!" I threatened. "Ha! Just because you beat those two useless ponies doesn't mean you can take me!" Dre responded and came charging me. I dodged and pinned him on the ground and grabbed his two front hooves. "You don't need these two hooves, do you?" I said evilly. I no longer had control over myself. Anger and corruption had taken control over me. "Leon!" I heard Storm yell. I looked back and saw her frightened by not Dre's crew but me...
I finally got control over myself and left Dre alone. I left with Storm but not until Dre said something. "You'll pay for this! You'll die because of this!" Dre yelled angrily. I didn't pay attention to him because I was thinking of what I had just done. "I can't believe it...I'm a monster!" I thought to myself. I was no longer like my old self....I was a monster....
Chapter 5 Hearts Warming Eve?
After repeatedly doing the same thing in school, Hearts Warming Eve finally came! "Ah...Finally!" I said to myself at the end of class. "What?" Storm asked me. "We finally get a break from all of this work and Hearts Warming Eve is almost here!" I answered her, looking behind me. "Really?" She asked again. "Yeah!" I answered excitedly. "Hm. I never had a break before. What do you in this 'break'?" She asked curiously. "WHAT?!" I replied "Well you....Actually...I think it'd be easier if I showed you. Show up at my door at 4 in the evening, 'kay?". "Yeah sure, do I need to bring anything?" She asked. "Nah. Well...A coat if you want but not really." I answered.
At the 4 in the evening, I heard a knock on my door. I walked towards the door and saw Storm in a winter coat. "Hey. Want to come in?" I asked. "Yeah. Thanks!" She thanked. "No problem. I'm just finishing getting my winter stuff. So be right back." I said as I flew to the second floor to get my winter hat, I put it on, and flew downstairs and saw her looking at a picture frame. "Hey. Watcha lookin' at?" I asked. "Oh hey. I'm just looking at this picture of you and your family." she answered "do you ever visit them in Hearts Warming Eve?". "Sadly....No...." I responded with a rather sad tone. "Why not?" She asked. "Well...You see....My mom and dad are both dead and....My older brother...Hell I don't know where he is anymore..."I answered with a sad tone. "Oh...I'm sorry..." she apologized. "Nah...It's fine...I got used to being alone...But until now..." I said as I chuckled a little. "Oh and by the way." She said. "What?" I replied. "What's this?" she asked while poking at a mistletoe that I don't remember putting up. "Oh. That's a mistletoe." I answered. "A what?" she said. "A mistletoe. When two ponies meet up under it, they kiss each other on the lips...and....well....It's pretty silly..." I said. There was a little of awkward silence after that. "So let's go?" I asked her as I started walking towards the door. "Wait!" She said tuggingg me. "What?" I responded, turning my head. She pulled me towards her and pulled me in for a kiss on the lips under the mistletoe. I saw that she blushed and I also did, but I kissed back nonetheless.
"So all of this is snow?" she asked. "Do you not learn anything in your old school?" I asked. "Well....Hmmm...No not really." She chuckled. "Figures. Anyways, yes. This white fluffy stuff is all snow and when it gets hot, it all turns into water." I answered. I showed her around town and eventually saw the sunset with her. "This....Is by far....one of the most funnest days ever..." She said. "Really?" I replied. "Yes...Thank you Leon..." She answered and gave me a kiss on the cheek. As a result, I blushed and kept on watching the sun set with her.
On Heart's Warming Eve morning, I got up early and went to see if I still had my present for Storm. "Phew...It's still here." I said as I grabbed the present. I put on a hoodie and went to Storm's house with the present and knocked on her door. "Hey! Storm!" I yelled. I saw the door open and I could tell she just woke up. "...You want to come in?" She asked tiredly. "Yes please." I answered politely and walked inside her house. "What's that in your hooves?" She asked. "It's called a present. Here! It's for you!" I answered and gave her the present. "Oh!" She gasped and opened the present "You shouldn't have!". It was a necklace that contained a picture of me and her smiling together from a picture booth. She hugged me and I hugged her back. I never felt happier!
After spending time with Storm during Heart's Warming Eve, we went back to school. I started to do the same thing I do everyday in school until I heard a voice in my head "Kill....Kill all of them....Make them suffer... " "Did you hear that?" I asked Storm. "Hear what?" She asked back. "...Never mind." I replied. "What the fuck was that...?" I thought to myself.
When it was lunch time, I went to sit with Storm again. I was about to eat my lunch until I heard the voice again. "Kill her.... It said. I don't know what it is but it's starting to make me feel very scared. "Am I going insane?" I thought to myself. "Leon!" Storm said. "Huh? What?" I replied. "Is something bothering you? I mean you're gazing off a lot lately..." Storm said, concerned. "....Nah. It's nothing..." I responded. After I said that, she just looked at me. "Alright...." Storm replied and started eating her lunch again.
After school was done, I flew Storm to her house and went to mine. "...Corrupt those who dare to get in the way... " I heard the voice say again. "What's wrong with me....? I can't figure out what's wrong with myself..." I said looking at my unsteady hooves "I'm...not like my original self....". "....Not anymore....heh." I said to myself as my whole body turned gray, my eyes and mane turned red.
The next day when I went to school, I was quiet towards everypony including Storm. I felt as if something took over my body and spirit... When it was lunch time, I sat with Storm but I was still quiet towards her. "Leon." Storm said. I looked to her. "What's wrong? You're completely different than usual!" She asked. "....All....will fall....." I whispered to myself. "Huh?" Storm replied. "All! All shall fall! All WILL fall!"I exclaimed and flew to my house, not caring that school is still in session. "Leon!" Storm said.
After school, I heard Storm knocking on my door. "Leon! I know you're in there!" Storm said. I didn't respond. "Leon....?" Storm said, concerned. I couldn't respond....I have no control of my actions or my body....I'm corrupted....
Chapter 1 The New Student
"Ugh...Another day in school... Why couldn't summer vacation be longer?" I kept on asking myself as I flew towards the school " Well...Guess I'm back...". I walked inside the school halls and looked from side to side, only to see that nothing has changed. "Great...Nothing has changed..." I complained to myself "Wait...Where's my classroom?!". I ran in the school halls, frantically trying to find my classroom until I finally reached it. I caught my breath and entered the room right before the tardy bell rang. "Phew...Just barely made it..." I said to myself and seated myself in the middle seat of many seats. "I already know what's going to happen...It's the same thing over and over..." I said as I put my backpack on my desk and put my head on my backpack. "Alright class! I'm your teacher, Mr. Bolt" Mr.Bolt introduced "We have a new student in our school and surprisingly she's in our classroom!". "Hm?" I asked myself, raising my head "This is surprising...". A light blue-bodied, blueish-green eyed, and grey maned pegasus appeared. "Can you tell us your name, please?" Mr. Bolt asked. "Umm...My name is....Storm Gazer" She introduced. I could already hear some pegasi talk mean things about her. "Well Storm Gazer, would you take a seat? Right behind him is fine." Mr.Bolt said, pointing at me. "...Kay." She responded.
I watched her walking to the seat behind me. "My Celestia....She's beautiful!" I thought to myself. "Alright class! We'll be talking about flying in weather conditions." Mr. Bolt said. I couldn't pay attention to what Mr. Bolt was saying because I was too distracted on Storm. After a while, the bell for a lunch break rang. Everypony left to go to the cafeteria. I made my own lunch for today because I don't like the school lunches most of the time. I saw Storm passing by me and went to sit be herself. I walked towards her and asked "This seat taken?". "No. Go right ahead." She answered. "Cool." I responded and sat in front of her. "Name's Leonart. But you can just call me Leon." I introduced. "Nice to meet you, Leon!" she said while smiling a little. "Can I ask you why you're here?" I asked. "Yeah sure. Go right ahead." she answered. "Well...Why are you here?" I asked her again. "Well... I live by myself like every other pony and I was recommended to go here after my years in high school and a year in college. So...Now I'm here!" she answered. "Ah! Well...I was here before and this is my second year here. So I'm guessing this is your second year here?" I asked. "Yeah!" she answered. I kept talking to her until 3 ponies approached us....
