Arriving at ponyville

When I arrived in Ponyville (because Princess Celestia wanted me to find out why ponies were missing) how could I decline my brother lives and Ponyville and he went missing and I’m worried why. I only fear the worst for him. I hope hes ok its all I care about. Well anyways ever since I arrived here I’ve felt a little queasy about this place. I mean nopony goes missing for no reason. I started asking people if they know where any of them last where. I got an answer from one pony but I didn’t quite get her name I think she said Cheerilee! She said that she last saw one of them at Pinkies! Now I thought nothing of her name! But I started to wonder around and well it wasn’t such a bad place actually! I meet Pinkie, Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity! They all were sad about their friend Rainbow Dash missing!

Later that day Pinkie invited me to her house to make cupcakes! I accepted but I started to feel uneasy about it! When I got there around ten o'clock her hair was flat not curley like normal! She handed me a cupcake! I refused something was off about it! What happened next is what scared me the most I still can see it when I go to sleep I go to therapy and well I’ve been there for two years and it just won’t get out of my head! Basically what happened is she turned off the lights and I guess I was knocked out I don’t know with what though! I wish I knew that this was going to end badly something in my gut told me not to trust her! I need to listen to my instincts more often!

Arriving Back at Chanderlot

Once we all got to Chanderlot Celestia, Luna, and Ronnie were expecting to see Pinkie with us. I told them she was the one doing this. Of course no one believed me. The bad part is the day before I went to Ponyville I had a dream about this, but the problem is that well I was killed this time I wasn't. Glad to be alive so people would know about this. I have a bad feeling that Ronnie will not believe me either. I go to Lunas room because well I forgot to mention him and Luna are well dating. Anyways I got to their room and see Ronnie isn’t there.

I asked Luna “where is Ronnie?”

She told me “hes out in the garden.”

I didn’t quite understand why he was in the garden. After I get to the garden it took me about 5 minutes to find him. I guess I surprised him because as soon I said hi he jumped about 10 feet in the air. Well I explained what happened. Surprisingly he believed me but its good to have friends that know you don’t lie all the time.

After about 15 minutes Luna come out looking for us saying that she has something to treat my wound.

I told her. “Its fine I don’t need anything and that I’d rather have it heal on its own!”

I felt bad for having her look for something that I didn’t ask her to because well if it starts to get infected I’ll go to Fluttershy or Luna, but I decided to stay in Ponyville once Pinkamena was gone. Ronnie on the other hand could tell I was in a lot of pain, but losing a wing will do that. I haven’t been able to sleep now knowing that Pinkamena is still out there. I know that I have guards all around me no matter where I go. It took about 5 days for Pinkie to be captured Twilight and the others didn't know I would stay in Ponyville.

After they found out all but Rarity, and Applejack jumped in joy (didn't understand why). Well since Pinkie was gone I went in her basement and got the corpse of Rainbow Dash. I told the others that we’ll have a funeral at noon that night. I didn't know Rainbow Dash but what I knew the most is that she was loyal and a good friend. That's all I really knew, but I still felt bad knowing that I couldn't save her as well. I do know that she would be happy that I escaped and gave her a proper funeral. After the funeral I went home.

I stayed in my bed and cried asking myself “why did this have to happen to me.”

The next day I checked my mail and I had a letter from my friend Ronnie saying that Luna was missing. I had a feeling that I never had before. This scared me I didn’t know what to think I asked Twilight if she could teleport me to Canterlot because Luna is missing. She asked me how I knew this because she didn’t know I was close friends with her boyfriend. When she found that out she teleported me there and I went to Lunas room and found Ronnie.

He handed me a note that said you’ll never see Luna again. I looked on the back it said “look in Ponyville.” I asked him if he ever looked on the back and he said no. I told him that shes in Ponyville. Well he jumped in joy knowing that she was ok. I relieved me to know that she wasn’t actually missing. I still had that strange feeling from before though. While Luna was missing I feared that Pinkie was free but I doubted after I got a dagger from her basement and no one knew though. Glad but I’m afraid that people will start to find out after a while. Right now my main problem is the feeling that I have about when we find Luna. Oh well I think its because I’m getting sick...I don’t know but I hope it has nothing to do with Pinkamena. If it does well I know that alicorns can’t die but i mean come on there about to get married in a couple of days so yeah. I want to help my friend in anyway I can and if it does well I’ll tell my friend to stay connected with me its good he knows a spell to know my thoughts thank god.

Flashbacks

Not surprising that I had flashbacks of when I lived in Cloudsdale. So why not tell you what happened from what I know anyways. So what happened is I went to work as usual left my kids with my wife who was asleep. About 8 hours later I get back it was like a normal day until well I come back to see my house on fire I didn’t know what to do all of Cloudsdale knew. Things like this tend to get around kinda slow most of the time, but the difference is that most people knew me and when it usually happens its in a quiet area. The worst part about it is that well I was blamed for all of it. I don’t know why, but everyone in my neighborhood knew I was at work and everyone that I work with.

*sigh* why does it matter I mean it happened a long time ago, but it sucks that I can’t go back there. I miss everything about Cloudsdale. I mean don’t get me wrong when I say this, but about everyone there was great. Derpy well you get use to her being your neighbor. I  wish I could go back and see everyone I mean I see Derpy every now and then but everyone else not so much. I knew Rainbow Dash not that much. I only knew her from the flight school and after that I never did see her. I didn’t really know her that well, but defending Fluttershys honor well I was a good move I will admit. I didn’t see what happened to Fluttershy, but I did hear what happened and well I’m glad she was ok. Cloudsdale was where I grew up and lived for about 25 years. I’ve been wanting to go back but I can’t. Like I said it doesn’t matter anymore I just want to get that outta my head. I wish I could, but it haunts me. I heard the screams inside, but I knew there was nothing I could do.

*sigh* “I need to head to Fluttershys by now.” I said to myself

“But right now I need to help Ronald get Luna back” Still talking to myself

When we arrive at where Luna was well all we saw was shadows I didn’t know of what though. About 2 minutes later we heard Luna scream. I scared Ronnie and I recognized someone laughing it was in fact Twilight, but they were pulling a prank on Ronald me I didn’t know anything about it and they seemed to have some fun because I was in it.I nearly collapsed when I heard Twilight laugh. It reminded me to much of Pinkamena, but I’m glad to know that Lunas ok and that it was just a joke, but I had to ask Twilight to never do that laugh again and she understood why and well apologized. I didn’t want to make her feel bad or anything, but you know I can’t really do much about that. I told her it ok in a nice tone and walked to Fluttershys.

When I got there I saw a note saying that she went to town. So I sat there waiting she knew I was coming today because of my cut on my wing it started to get worse so I asked her if there was any good time I could come and she said later today and well thats what I did. She never did say what time though. Oh well it took her about half an hour to get back. She was apologizing for leaving and having me wait. I told her it was ok and that Angel keep me company. Angel was a great little bunny yes and well a bit energetic. I was glad Fluttershy did get here though. She looked at my wing and was shocked about how bad it got. She rushed me inside and helped with my wound. She was done in about 20 minutes and well it didn’t feel that long, but it was great to spend time with a friend.

“I wish Pinkie was never like this.” Fluttershy said.

“I wish the same thing. Do you have any idea what made her like this?” Something in my head told me not to ask that, but I had to I needed to know more about why Pinkie did all this.

“No sorry. I do have an idea.” Fluttershy said

“Alright I’m trying to find out why she would want to or who made her.”

In my head I thought I’d never find out why she acted like this, but I’m going to find out. I’m thinking that she was raised like that, but I can’t be to sure about that yet. I’m going to find out who did this to her even if it takes me the rest of my life. I don’t care, but well I’m afraid that I won’t know the truth about why she started to kill everypony. I can’t get her devilish laugh out of my he had. I’m glad I got the dagger because I never go to sleep without it being under my pillow because well you never know whos going to come to your house at night. With her laugh in my head I hear it when I talk to just about everypony. I start to breakdown and well everypony knows why and they have all tried to help me and I can’t thank them enough. Its great to have them all as friends. I’m trying my hardest to get through this. Still today I breakdown from her laugh.

*sigh* “I can get through this” I said repeatedly in my head.

“Why did she become like this” It kept repeating in my head

I went to sleep and of course I heard the laughs again.

“I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE” I yelled

I guess somepony heard me because I heard knocking on my door that night.

Help from friends

As I answered the I noticed Twilight was there. I was relived to see a friendly face.

"Twi its nice to see you." I said.

"Could I come in?" Twi said.

"Sure. I see no harm in it."

"Thanks Death."

"You're welcome. Oh and be careful in the room to your left."

"Um... Why?"

"I collect knifes. I mean I have since I was just a small colt. Its just a hobby nothing more. I've only used some for carving."

"What does the tally marks on this one mean?" As she asks she hold a combat knife that was given to me before my father died.

"Oh that. It was my dads back in the army. He died when I was eight. He gave it to me because well I don't know really. Never got to ask 'em. But the tally's mean how many hes killed with it, I want to get the tally's encrusted in gold and put in a display case if I can ever get the bits for it."

She continued to stare at the knife noticing all the tally's on it.

"You realize that with so many that hes killed with it, it has your name abbreviated right?"

"Does it really?"

"Yeah look."

I stared at the marks on the blade and noticed what she meant.

"Well I guess that's why he gave it to me. Or just something he wanted to pass down."

"How did your dad die?"

"I-its something I don't want to talk about. My mother I don't know."

"Sorry I didn't mean to upset you."

"No its fine. Just maybe some other day."

I began to walk into the kitchen until I broke down from remembering what happened to my kids and my wife blaming me.

"Deathwing you okay?" She walked up to me and tried to cheer me up.

I slowly got up and walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah I'm fine. Its just... What happened to my kids and my wife blaming me. I have nothing now." I started looking down and looked at my knife. She walked up to me and noticed me turning the blade towards me.

"Death you think that this is the way to go? Killing yourself?" I looked up at her in tears and barely made out the few words I did.

"L-losing my family w-was bad enough. T-this is to much." Before I could do anything she took the knife from me. Saving me from myself.

"Death listen to me you have friends. You have family that's there maybe not physically but they are with you. You think this is what they want you to do?" I continued to cry and didn't say a word after.

After about an hour after I started to dose off and laid on the kitchen floor. Twilight decided to lay me on my couch and stay the night to make sure I was safe. I never understood what it was like to have friends. Mine were either killed or kidnapped by somepony and never found. So my colthood was never that good. It was worse than many others had. I hate to admit it but life for me was a living hell as some may say. The only friend I had that was ever there for me was killed right in front of me. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Me and her both. I start to like her more than a friend. Eight months we knew each other. And see was the only one that looked past everything that happened to me. And what happens? Shes stabbed right in front of me. What did I do to deserve it? My only friend I ever had killed. And almost at the cost of his own life.

As the sun arose I began to wake. I was surprised to see Twilight still in my house. I thought she left after I passed out. I thought wrong.

"Did I finally find friends that will be there for me?" I said to myself.

As i got up I decided to make breakfast for Twilight. After all its the least I could do for her. Shes helping me get over whats happened. I walked into the kitchen and began to cook haycakes. After about three minutes of cooking they were done and she began to wake.

"Hey Twilight I made you breakfast as a way of saying thanks." I said and gave her the plate.

"Thanks Death." She said with a smile on her face. I never did think I could make anypony smile but I could try at least. It felt good. I actually felt joy for once in my life. It was always depressing I hated it. If it wasn't for Twilight being here I think i might be dead right now. I have her to thank.

"You not gonna eat Death?"

"Not hungry right now." As I said it I sat beside her.

"Death you still scared from what happened?"

"Yeah." I said and almost immediately I started to shake in fear. I tried to keep from breaking down in front of her. She put down the plate on the table beside her and hugged me.

"Thanks Twilight. I need it." I let out a small smile.

"You're welcome." She said letting out a smile. I never thought that somepony would care so much for me. I felt like I had a meaning in life. Just had a bad past. Then had a pony wanting to kill me as soon as I get to Ponyville. Life is terrible at times, it does get better later in life though. Even if its just a simple thing like a hug to lift up your spirit. Who knew something so small could save a life.

trying to find a way out

So the next thing I remember is being tied to a table. She had all kinds of knives on the table in front of me. I looked around the room and I saw the corpse of Rainbow Dash stuffed with well I didn’t even want to know! strangely she when she began I realized that the straps were loose! I thought she would cut my cutie mark first, I was wrong. She went for my wings. The good thing is though she only got one before I escaped.

I immediately went to Twilight. The first thing she noticed is my left wing cut off! She told me to come inside and I did. She bandaged me up and asked me what happened. Well I told her everything. It didn’t really surprise me that she didn’t believe me.

*sigh...”Well!” I said “don’t believe me, but your friend is out there trying to find me! Please just please you have to believe me I saw with my own eyes!”

I said it with tears running down my face because of the pain, and seeing my brother dead.

Twilight then told me. “Go to Celestia and tell her about this.”

I asked her “can you at least come with me and the others of your friends this way I don’t have to see Pinkie along the road alone (not realizing that Twilight could teleport me).

Well I’m glad to know that the others will help me and now that they know what happened to Rainbow Dash. There sadder than before, but happier to know what happened to her. The problem is that I’ll only have one wing for the rest of my damn life. Oh well but at least I still have friends around to help me out in my time of need. I know that alicorns can’t die but my friend Ronnie I worry about. Knowing that his cousin Fluttershy is here scares me. I know that they're like brother and sister though but theres one problem is that she's so quiet I wouldn’t notice that shes gone. He’d blame me if she goes missing because he asked me if I’d protect her and of course I said yes. He knows I’m coming back with the others, he didn’t have any idea about Pinkie though.
