The Filly of Shadows

The Filly of Shadows first thing that she thought when she woke up was, Wah? Where am I? Wheres Mom? And why do I feel weird? Then she remembered what had happened. The giant flash of light, her Mom yelling for her to stop, an obnoxious purple alicorn. Wait a second, there were three alicorns now? Next thing you know, theres going to be four alicorns.

"Mom?!" The filly called, and yelped when a shadow with imposing yellow eyes came into her view. Then she gasped, her mom looked... Scary! Was this why all the other ponies that ever visited the castle always so scared? Because she looked like this? If only she'd known.

"Ca  y  u  ear me?" The Filly of Shadows could only hear snippets of the whisper that her mom was saying.

"No. Mom I'm scared. I thought I would still be able to hear you." The filly said worriedly to her mother. Just then, the sound of loud footsteps came from the hallway.

"I bet we're going to get our Cutie Marks in being brave." Declared one of the ponies that were walking outside of The Filly of Shadow's hiding spot.

"Nah, ah bet that we're gonna get our Cutie Marks in adventuring!" The second disagreed with a southern accent.

"No! We're going to get a Cutie Mark in treasure hunting. I mean look at this place! It's full of EEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MARE OF SHADOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The third shrieked. The filly of shadows resisted face palming. Why could nopony ever tell the difference between a full grown shadow pony, and a teenager shadow pony.

"Quick! HIDE!" The first yelled, and the next thing the filly knew, three other pony fillies were tackling her.

"Close the door! Close the door!" A white unicorn yelled, terrified.

The Filly of Shadows looked around somewhere that she could hide, and spotted a coat rack. She dove under the rack, dislodging a finely embroidered cloak to land on her. Then the filly prayed to everyone holy for the three crazy fillies to just leave her so she could try to turn back into a shadow. Even though it was her drew, being a pony was scary!

"Who are you?!" An orange pegasus exclaimed, pointing at the filly's hiding spot. Fudge. They saw me.

"Wow! That's ah pretty coat!" A light yellow earth pony told her, pointing to the cloak that had fallen onto her when she went underneath the coat rack.

"Are you hiding from the shadow pony to?" The white unicorn asked.

"Um, yeah! I think that the coast is clear, you guys can go now!" The Filly of Shadows said awkwardly.

"But don't you want to come with us? It'd be better if we traveled in a group." The unicorn pointed out.

"Um, no. I'm fine."

"But at least tell us your name. Ah'm Apple bloom."

"I'm Scootloo."

"And I'm Sweetie Belle."

As the three fillies told The Filly of Shadows their names, The Filly realized she didn't have a name. And she was pretty sure that "The Filly of Shadows" was going to suffice as a name. Her big sister always called her Little Sis or Sister, and her mom just called her Daughter. As The Filly thought, she came up with the perfect name.

"Well, my name is Shadow Light."
