Your Human and You: Knight of Thorns

--Two Weeks Later--

After that nightmare a few weeks ago I have indeed had some trouble sleeping and it has not been unnoticed by my "Master", Rose has taken me to the Veterinarians but after a few little examinations and tests the Vet took Rose into the other room, curios and a little worried I walked up to the door slowly and silently and put my ear to the cool metal door to be introduced with an odd sobbing noise, as I listened I over heard something that made my Blood Chill and my Heart to stop for a second.

"I'm...I'm sorry Miss Rose but it appears that your human...Is Dying" The Vet said calmly, her face as straight as a executioners before he swings his axe.

"I..I..Why!?..How!?.." Rose asked desperately, Roses face was stained with tears. her once gleeful face now torn and desperate for answers.

"Well after my examinations of "Thorn" there are many of things that are just plain out of the ordinary such as his intelligence." The Vet pauses for a second then continues "He passed all the intelligence test I had given him faster then any other human before him, it is quite the shame he is dying but I Believe that his intelligence may be the issue here." The Vet explains as he goes to his desk and takes a seat upon his chair. Rose gives the Vet a confused stare but nods to him to continue his explanation "My theory is that since  your Human was born with some minor intelligence and from this his his blood pressure has heightened because more blood need to gets to his brain and the heat from using its brain is causing strain on it."

"What did you just say?" I thought to myself."How dare this Whelp insult me intelligence!" I do not noticed that my vision has now turned red with anger but I do feel something inside of me...A craving...But I do not know for what I crave but, I realize that I am about to walk into the room before I stop myself from entering and I slowly walk back to my position on the bench, I can not relieve myself yet...Its too early..

--Rose POV--

I walk back into the examination room with the Veterinarian, I see my Human sitting on the bench in the conner of them room, I feel tears sting my eyes again I look towards and I think what in Celestia's name am I going to do about him, How do I tell every pony? What am I going to do?

"Thank you Mr. Vet...I think I'm going to take Thorn home now.." I say as I hold back tears, I walk up to Thorn and hook his collar to his leash and slowly taking him out of the Vets. As we leave Mr.Vet gives me one last nod and wave goodbye, I sigh knowing that I only have my Thorn for a short period of time, how did this happen so fast? He looks so young and we have only had him for a good few weeks. Maybe I shouldn't tell Daisy and Lily about this for now, they wouldn't understand and then the situation would be even worse then it is now.

I unlock the door to the shop and lead Thorn in and as I walk to the kitchen I see him walk into the living room and he approaches the fireplace, he then proceeds to sit down in-front of the fireplace with is legs crossed  as he stares into the flame. Could he really have intelligence? I wonder as I put some fruit into his bowl and trot towards him with the bowl in my mouth, I bow my head and place the bowl beside him and nudge it forward "Go on Boy...Eat up.." I urge Thorn but he takes no notice in me, tears start to run down my face as I stare at him, his eyes never leaving the fire and before I know it I embrace him in a hug and start to cry softly into his chest.

"..I am So Sorry Thorn..I am So So Sorry..If I just taken you to the Vets sooner they could have helped you..They could have healed whatever is wrong with you but now..Now there is no hope,,There is nothing we can do.." I Sob out "..I should have noticed it sooner..You have been so inactive I..I thought your were just getting used to the house..And how you been staying up until the crack of dawn..I am So Very Sorry Thorn..I love you so much and I promise I will take care of you no matter what..You are my Human and you mean the whole of the world to me.." I manage to say as I cry..But then I feel his arms around me embracing me back, but then my blood goes cold when I hear something..It almost sounds like a pony but something about it sounds disturbing and wrong like it is not from this world..But the worst thing is where it is coming from or more importantly who.

"..Hush My Little Pony..Do Not Weep..Close your eyes..And Say Goodnight..

And then..Darkness as l lose consciousness..

--Kirks POV--"..Hush My Little Pony..Do Not Weep..Close your eyes..And Say Goodnight..

As I wrap the back of my hand on the back of her head and put her to sleep, when I feel that she is now fully asleep I carry her up stairs and carefully I open the door to her bedroom door and slowly place her on her bed with the up most care, I drape her cover over her body and tuck her in and when I am sure that she is comfortable I lean down and kiss her forehead

"Sleep Well My Little Pony..Dream Of Your Harmony.." I say as I creep out her room and back downstairs to the the fire..Discord awaits..

--A Week Earlier--

It was night time and I was in this horrid nightmare again, I excepted the Dark Figure to come out and kill me again before whispering the the same nonsense into my ear again..But so far into the dream nothing, It appeared I was alone so I did what any sane person would have done and started walking forward, even though I had no idea where I was heading I just had the urge to move forward until he came into my sights, Discord, he seemed to be sitting on a tall throne with antlers spouting from the top of it looking down it I noticed two Blood Red Gems and realized that the top of his throne was a head of some kind, maybe his, but it didn't matter because the look he was giving me told me he had something pretty important to say.

"Well..Well..Well..You took your time getting here..Did you have a nice time today Hmm?..Hanged out with your new hehehehe.."Owners" friends did you..Hahahaha!" His laughed allot at me before recovering and saying "You know when we teleported I didn't think you would become a pet! Maybe Wolf food! But a pet? Priceless.." He grinned at me while my hands tightened into fists.

"Listen Here you Piece Of Sh-" I stop myself from speaking by cover my mouth with my hand..My voice..That isn't my voice..That's His voice..The Figures voice..I looked up to Discord and he had a pure shit eating grin on his face, what does he know about this I wondered and Wondered before his interrupts..

"I can see you are getting used to your new and more impressive voice..I couldn't have the piece of Chicken shit of your original voice as a knight of mine..Hahahaha..Oh! I should tell you been given a promotion!" he said gleefully while he practicality jumping up and down on his throne in anticipation of my answer.

"I thought I was just a servant of Chaos? Now I am a Knight? Why?" I asked Discord, his smile never left his face once as he gave me a once over with his eyes.

"Well..Lets just say that this was kinda the reason I brought you here in the first place..I mean all of the over Lords and Ladies have nights! And I don't even have one and by Celestia's Ass I am The God Of Chaos!" Discord Laughed "..So that's where you come in my dear Kirk..I want you to be more than just a worshipper! I want you to be my Right Talon so to speak..So what do you say?" Discord asked..And of course I nodded and said as I got one knee and sighed

"Yes Mi'Lord Discord..I Shall Become your Chaos Knight.." Discord shakes his head

"No..No..We are not calling you that..Say what lets think of a name next week!..That should give the readers something to wait for..Hehehehe.." Discord says Quietly.

"What was that?" I asked, while Discord clears his throat.

"Oh nothing..Any-who! Cheerio! Oh And Nice Duds!" Wait what does he mean by nice duds I thought as I looked at myself as I looked at myself..I was wearing the figures armour and adopted his glow..Was the figure you me..Uh looks like its time to wake up as the abyss consumes me.

--Present Night--

I sat still as I watch the flames flicker as I remembered that night, though my serenity and piece of mind was interrupted when Discord's face appeared in the flame, He grins at me and then winks "So how do I look Hmm?" He asks while he smiles.

"Ugly as ever..Why did you think the fire would take away the years?.." I said moving my jaw a few times while Discord gives me a sour look "Ugh..Its been awhile since I have managed to talk..Sorry if I am rusty.." I mutter while massaging my jaw.

"Nah..If anything it sounds even more creepy and vile! But unfortunately you wouldn't call me by flame if this wasn't important..So what have you done?" Discord giggles as he appears to be eating some popcorn..I think.

I Sigh "Rose Took me to Vets..Vets Say I Dying..I talked to Rose..Put Rose to bed..Can you help?" I ask him almost pleadingly like I care about Rose.

"By put to bed I hope you mean you just set her down for a nap." He asks and I nod "Good..Good..Last thing we need is a dead pony..But yes I can help, I will erase her memory of today and replace it with the Vet telling her everything is ok..Though this dying thing brings about as issue..Do you feel like dying" Discord ask, eye-balling me.

"No..Not at all..I think the Vet..Got something wrong.." I answer honestly and Discord simply nods and taps his chin a few times

"Indeed..Well you know when I said the last thing we needed was a dead pony?" I nod "Well Looks like we need to handle this Vet..He needs to die" He says and as I go to argue Discords beats me to it "We need to kill him..Because he knows you are smart and he has your medical report..With that he could expose you simply to the scientific community and next thing ya know you are on a dissecting table..Hehehehe" He laughs as I tilt my head "So for your first mission my Knight of Thorns..Hehehehe..Like it! Because your pet name is Thorn.." He clears his throat again and puffs some smoke into my face "Anyhow..You need to kill the Vet and Destroy your medical report..Got it!" I nod.

"..Do I Get Any Aid?.." I ask as he nods his head.

"Yes! Two! First you won't be actually going there..Your Phantom will! and before you ask let me explain.." He takes a deep breath "What I mean by Phantom is that after our talk there will be a gem on your bed..Hold this Gem and it will allow you to become a ghost like creature called a Phantom..You will still be a physical being just you will look like what you do in the Abyss..Also you will be fully equipped with your armour and weapons" He smiles, while I look at him impressed and gesture with my hand for him to continue "The secound thing is from..Lets say a lady admirer..Enjoy.." his face disappears from the fire and the fire launches it self from the fireplace into my hand..I go to scream but there is no pain from the fire..It sits there..In my hand and glows..Illuminating the room slightly..I stroke the flame and smile as still no harm comes to me.

After awhile of just starring at my hand I remember what I must do and close my hand..Making the flame die..But to be sure its not dead I open my hand once more and focus on the palm of my hand..And it rekindles itself..Again I put it out and walk to my bed area and find that on my pillow is a red glowing crystal, I quickly snatch the crystal into my hand and lay down in my bed.."Well here goes nothing" I say as I squeeze the crystal and suddenly a red aura covers my body and the world is flushed away.

--The Veterinarians-- --Third Person--

Mr.Vet sits in his office alone looking over all of today's Human Medical Reports, The only thing illuminating the room is a small candle on a end table near the door. He sighs and pushes the reports away from himself as he rubs his tired eyes, he should be home right now with his loving wife and his newly born foal..Night shimmer..She is such a cute little foal with black fur, blue eyes and a sliver mane, she looks so much like her mother Mr. Vet thought to himself, he just can't simply wait to see her when she is all grown. Bang, Bang, Bang, three knocks on the front door of the Veterinarians sound off "Who is it!" Mr. Vet shouts to the whoever could be outside his Clinic, whoever it is they sound like they have strong hooves.

Bang, Bang, Bang again three heavy knocks echo through the Veterinarians clinic and again Mr. Vet shouts "Sorry! We are Closed pleas come by in the Mor-" Crash! the sound of broken glass and metal echo loudly and Mr.Vet has to cover his ears with his hoofs to stop the noise from deafening him, when the sound dies down his runs out of the office, the gust causes the candle to go out, and sees what has happened to his clinic, he does not see the somepony who had done this but the front door of his clinic has been completely blown off from it hinges and now glass litters his once clean clinic, he examines the door to find scorch marks cover it but also a series of tiny dents in the metal..Slam! Mr.Vet turns his head just in time to see his door slam shut, Mr.Vet runs to his office and kicks the door open to see a singular fire on the ground slowly flicker and die he walks towards the ashes but something grabs the back of the neck of Mr.Vet and throws him out of his office into the hallway wall.

Mr.Vet strokes the back of his with his left hoof to discover his head is bleeding, he looks up to see who grabbed him and what he does see chills his bones, What appears to be a human made of pure darkness surrounded by a dark red aura but this is not the most chilling thing though is what it appears to be wearing, the humans armour appears to be covered in thorns and its face is completely covered by a helmet, The Thorned Human starts to walk towards Mr.Vet though Mr.Vet does not moves at all as he is to afraid. The Humans produces a small Thorned blade from its side and spins it a few times before speaking..

"..How Precious a sight to see..A Stallion Scared to Piss Himself.."

Mr.Vet looks down to see he as pissed him self but before he can look up the Human picks him up by his throat and places the blade just under his Rib cage. "Please..Please..I have a Foal.." but his please fall upon deaf ears as the human slides his blade into the ponies ribcage..Blood is already oozing from under the blade while the pony is screaming its lungs out from the pain..Though this Human is merciful as it pulls down the blade, tearing the flesh as it is met with some resistance but is continuously ripped until the blade meets the abdomen and the intestines slide out, the pony has long since died from this action but the Human continuously starts to stab the heart..The Human stand and stares at its art work, the ponies organs lay scattered around the corpse but it needs something..Interesting..The Human sees a small vase with two Roses in it that are slowly wilting..The Human grabs a Rose in both hands and walks back to the corpse..The Human kneels before the corpse and places the Roses on the ground as it begins to scoop out the corpses eyes and throwing them down the hall and after the deed has been done The Human proceeds to put the bud of the roses in its eye sockets and the thorns around the eyes..The Human Begins to fade out of existence but before it dispersers it laughs and laughs...
