Chapter 1 - The best day?
Author's Note
Hello guys.
This is my first attempt to write my own story.
I'm very sorry for all the mistakes that I made. I'm not too good at English.
I would be grateful if you told me what do you think about this story and mistakes which I certainly made.
Chapter 1 - The best day?
It was a cold, rainy and dreary day. Liz as always decided to go on a walk. She can't go for a walk when the weather is nice, because everypony looks at her like she was a monster. Every time she passed next to someone, she heard unkind words spoken about her like "Oh, it's this troublemaker." or "Hey, it's this villain again, why she came here?" or "Be aware of her, she is crazy". And that was every single time when anyone saw her. She was thinking about it and didn't notice that someone is coming from the opposite direction. It was a black stallion, he was wearing a long black robe and hood. After a moment, they collided with each other and fell to the ground.
"Hey! What are you doing!? " She yelled and covered her head with her hooves.
"I'm so sorry Ma'am." He walked over to her and gave her his hoof.
She stood up and she shook off the dust.
"Excuse me? What did you just say? How did you called me?" Mare was looking at him suprised.
"I called you Ma'am. Why are you asking?"
"Nopony is calling me like that, I'm Grimmy Liz. Who are you?"
"My name isn't important. I know you pretty well and i also know that everyone in this town doesn't like you. I don't really understand why. Even if you are in trouble sometimes they shouldn't say such a words about you. It's not fair!" He looked around and angrily hit the ground with his hooves. "Why don't you show them who is boss in this town? You are pegasus. They should treat you like a normal pony!". Stallion stared deep into her eyes, she was defensless and couldn't help but feel that his gaze penetrated her soul.
Liz was shocked. She didn't know that stallion and she didn't know why he is so kind to her. She also started to feel dizzy.
"Liz, my dear. You can't let them do this anymore. You have to be strong, you have to show them your strenght. You have to prove that you are one of the best ponies in this world. That you are the best pony in this world."
She was very sleepy, she couldn't stand on her feet on her own. She knelt before him overhelmed by the force of his words. Her head began to ache.
"My Sweetheart, take your revenge. Do it for your master. Do it for yourself. You want to punish them." His voice was louder and louder but it was happening only in her head.
She looked at him hipnotized.
"I-i can't believe that somepony is so kind to me. I didn't even saw you once and you're helping me and talking about me in such a way" She was smiling and wanted to pounce on him and gave him a hug but suddenly in her head appeard another thought. "Yes... He's right...They all hate me. They don't want me here. They want me to disappear... But I won't! They will regret! They must regret! I have to follow my master's orders!"
Stallion smiled suspiciously and just disappeard. Liz stood for the moment in one place thinking about revenge on everypony in this town and then she noticed that stallion is gone. "Sheesh... I don't even know name of that guy. I should go home. It had stopped raining. Soon my dear neightbors will come out from their houses." She spat on the ground.
For the next 5 minutes she was walking silently, until she reached her destination. She opened the door and couldn't believe her own eyes. On the table in front of the doors lay big, shining knife. She walked over to it and grabbed it with the hoove. Knife was heavy and solid. She was excited and the blood rushed to her head. . She felt strange, adrenaline increased dramatically. She hid the knife in a drawer and went to the shop for coat.
As always ponies were looking at her but she didn't care about it anymore. She knew that soon they will feel worse pain than she felt for whole life. She accelerated and ran into a clothing store.
"HelloRarityiwouldliketobuycoat" She said quickly and sent a smile to her.
"Excuse me Grimmy, can you repeat please?" Rarity asked her and also smiled.
"I want to buy a coat with hood" replied rudely.
"You could be more polite Liz. What colour do you need?" Rarity started to take off materials from shelves.
"Polite? You are all always rude to me and you are asking me to be more polite? Are you kidding? Black. I want black."
Rarity sent her deadly gaze and began to sew coat for her.
Few minutes later
"Here you go. Black cloak with hood. Six ponie coins please".
Liz yanked coat from her hooves and threw coins on the table. Liz ran out and slammed the door behind her. " You bitch are asking me to be more polite? POLITE? You will feel my wrath when I will put my knife in your ribs."
She ran into her house, dressed in her new coat, hid the knife under her coat and was about to leave but she remembered that it is still the middle of the day. " Damn, I have to wait until dusk when everypony is asleep. Maybe I should rest for a while and eat something before my adventure." She wore off her cloak, put the knife on table and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. After a meal she was thinking about plan. "How should I do it? She is living alone but I have to go throught the whole town unnoticed. Then I have to get to her house, find her in darkness and... Kill her? Yessss.... yes. That's it. But what if I wont be able to do this? Screw it, I have no time to think about such stupid things. Why wouldn't I be able to do this? It's already evening. Small preparations and I can go for my revenge." She wore coat, hid knife, drunk some water and left house.
It was dark and the streets were empty, nopony was outside. "They are all sleeping" said Liz to herself. She covered her head with hood and walked toward Rarity's house. Suddenly in front of her appeared drunk Spitfire.
"Hel-llo S-sweetheart, why are you still up? It's night." Spitfire ask worried.
"Oh, hello Spitfire. I just went for a walk. I can't sleep very well and I can go out only when it's raining or when it's dark outside and nopony can see me." replied saddened. "And why you are here that late? You are not living in Ponyville"
"Hahahah, Pinkie Pie just made an AWESOME party in her house. As always! Well, im bit drunk as you can see and I'm not able to fly to my home. Why can't you go outside when is day? You always can!" She slightly staggered and fell to the ground. It took her some time to pull herself together.
"Not really, all ponies in ponyville hates me, they are laughing at me and they are calling me a monster or worse... it's not fair!" She covered her head with her hooves and started to cry silently.
"Poor girl." Spitfire walked over to her and hugged her. Liz smiled mysteriously pulled out her knife so that Spitfire couldn't notice anything. Liz pressed Spitfire's head harder to her body that she couldn't shout and hit her ribs couple of times with her knife. Liz felt like a knife easily pierces Spitfire's body. She felt how much blood flows from wounds which she made few seconds ago. Few moments later Spitfire's body hit the ground but she was still breathing.
"Honey... B-but... why are you doing this? I'm the leader of Wonderbolts. I never did anything bad to you..." She whispered to her.
"Because you would ruin my perfect plan. You already ruined my plan. Everypony in this town want me to disappear but I won't do this. I suffered from my childhood. I was beaten, everypony was laughing at me, everypony was making fun of me, everypony whished me all the worse. But now it will change. They will suffer more than me. I want them all to feel the pain. I will take my revenge." replied silently.
"Don't do this... Y-you are good girl, I'm sure of it... They didn't mean to..."
"Oh just shut up. You do not know what I went through. It was worse than nightmare. Now say goodbye to this world. Rarity told me that I should be more polite. Sweet dreams Spitfire." She hit her once again, this time straight to the heart...
“It was close but nopony has seen me. “
She stated after finally crossing boundaries of her house, sighing with relief she took off her coat and threw it on the floor, she trotted into the bathroom and washed her hooves and her knife, it wasn’t an easy task to get all that blood from her coat.
After making sure there are no more signs of her night activities she proceeded into the kitchen in order to make herself something to eat.
She checked on ingredients ultimately deciding to eat some scrambled eggs with a pinch of spices and herbs, her mother taught her how to cook when she was just a small filly. This was one of the few fond memories from her foalhood.
Suddenly she noticed some kind of flash in the corner of her eye, she dropper her plate from shock and turned around, her eyes gone wide and it took her few moments to calm down.
She sighed with relief “You scared me, what brings you here?” She asked the black stallion who was wearing black coat with hood, at the same time she started to clean up small mess born from what was supposed to be her breakfast.
Stallion sat down on a chair in her living room, he was playing with a knife in his hooves, his stare could only be described as mysterious, small golden medallion laid down on the table next to him.
“My deepest apologies, scaring you wasn’t my intention, we need to talk about something very important Liz my dear.” He said while smiling widely. “You see I already know what you did to your friends and I must say you’re wasting your potential here. I know you want to punish everypony in this town but I’m afraid it’s just a waste of our precious time.”
“Whatever do you mean by that my master?” She stated while finally getting last part of scrambled eggs off the floor, she turned around only to meet black stallions eyes staring deeply into hers, not giving her any chance of escaping his deadly gaze.
“What I’m saying is that you shouldn’t waste your time killing any more ponies in this town by your own, their punishment will be delivered by my army of changelings. If you don’t want to spend rest of your life in jail you shall listen to me and obey my orders.” He stated emphasizing last words. “They will learn what real pain is when we will finally get rid of royal sisters, they are the only thing that can stop us now.”
“Now, you will wear your coat, hide this knife under it and wait for my next orders.” Liz stared blankly at him, her free will utterly broken by his mesmerizing gaze.
"Yes, my master." She stated and did everything just like he ordered.
‘Humf, I already have her under my control, poor mare she can’t even comprehend what’s she doing.’
He took his black coat off, Liz finally free from his gaze looked at him and froze.
He was big stallion whose coat was as black as the dark side of the moon, his cutie mark looked like blue sun, his sides were adorned with pair of huge majestic black wings, his mane was dark-green with white highlights, however there was something atop of his head that make her shiver.
It was long grey horn.
"YOU ARE ALICORN!" She screamed in both fear and shock.
"Of course I am. Now, are you ready to go?" He replied nervously.
"Yes, my master, So where are we going?" She asked.
"We are going straight to Canterlot. I will summon my army soon, be ready to leave." He said and sat down on a chair. Stallion grabbed golden medallion, murmured a few incomprehensible words and soon it started to shine. After few seconds, changelings started to emerge from the floor. They have black carapace-like coats, webbed manes and tails, fangs, bent horns, insect-like wings, and holes in their legs. The moment they fully emerged from the floor, one by one they stepped outside through her front doors. After few moments in front of Liz house stood small army made from more or less fifty changelings.
"Attack the village, destroy everything." Two simple orders which they didn’t hesitate to fulfill, in few seconds they were in air flying towards the center of the town, burning houses, killing ponies and consuming their feeling along the way.
‘I think it's more than enough to rase Ponyville, we should go.’
Stallion stood up. He summoned another five changelings and went outside with Liz.
"We are going to fly straight to the Canterlot, no matter what happens do not stop." He screamed to her and took off into the air. Liz stretched her wings and flew after him and changelings.
"Princess Celestia, Princess Celestia!" Guardian ran through the door screaming in panic, he soon knelt before his ruler shivering in fear.
"Yes what is it?" Celestia asked with calm and soothing voice.
"Ponyville... Ponyville is under attack! Our rainbow anti-unknownponies and other unknown creaturies defense system detected small group of attackers are flying in our direction. " Guardian said quickly. "Invaders are on their way here. You have to run my Princess. They are coming from north. There is one alicorn, pegasus and changelings. I don't know how many..." He fainted.
Princess Celestia looked around.
"Get ready for battle, enemies are on their way here and they are propably very strong. Luna, notify the rest of the guards of the castle to gather here in this hall. We will be waiting here." Celestia looked at guardian under her and healed him with magic. He stood up and ran away to the other guardians. Celestia went to her own chamber.
'Where is it? I can't find my... Oh, here it is. '
Princess opened chest and took out armor. She wore golden chestplate and graves. She also found helmet but it hinders the use of magic so she decided not to wear it.
'Now I am ready to fight for my ponies.'
When she came back, Luna was already waiting for her. Her eyes opened wider when she realized that Princess Celestia is wearing armor.
"You look gorgeous my dear sister. I'm impressed. Guardians are ready."
"Thank you Luna, I feel it's going to be hard battle."
They were waiting for opponents and soon, Luna noticed few shadows moving to their direction from the north.
"They are propably our enemies. It doesn't look like there are many of them. I think we will overpower them easily."
"Don't underestimate our opponents Luna. If they are attacking Ponyville and us in the same time, they can't be weak."
Celestia smiled to her sister and hugged her. After a while few changelings flew into the hall and attacked guardians but they had no chance with them. Guardians quickly knocked down changelings and tied them.
"You don't have to worry about anything Princess. We won't let them hurt you." One of the guardians said to Celestia.
"We are close Liz, we will land before doors to the royal hall. After that I will take care of guardians and you will attack Celestia. Knife which you recieved from me can penetrate armor, it doesn't matter how strong it would be." He shouted to her and accelerated.
After few moments they landed before doors. They were closed and before them were standing few guardians. Guardians rushed straight to attack Liz but black alicorn used his magic and cast them down from the bridge to royal hall. He pushed the door and before their eyes appeared large hall with many decorations and at the end of it, there was Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. There was a problem because guardians barred the way to them. Stallion looked at them and focused his mind. After a while his horn started to shine. From his horn fired stream of energy which scattered guardians on the sides.
"It's your chance Liz, go!" He looked at her and pushed her gently.
Liz rushed straight to Princess Celestia between guardians with knife in her hoove.
"Stop Sweetheart." Celestia sent rainbow beam straight to Liz and she fell down dropping the knife. She was laying there for a long while. Liz stood up looked around and couldn't believe her own eyes. She was in royal hall, in Canterlot standing before the most powerful pony in this world. She turned around and looked at black stallion terrified. He killed all the guardians. Suddenly in her head appeared memories of last days. She remembered what she did to Spitfire, leader of Wonderbolts, she remembered what she did to poor Fluttershy and Rarity. Liz began to tremble, laid down and covered her head with hooves.
"What have I done?" She was horrified and shocked. "I.... I didn't want to hurt anyone..." Liz started to cry loudly.
"It's okey honey, it's all right. It wasn't your fault. You were hypnotized. You didn't want to hurt anyone." She used her magic to pick her up and put her behind Luna. "Take care of her sister."
Celestia looked at strange opponent and she realized who is standing in front of her. Her eyes opened wider.
"Long time no see..... Mom"
