A new friend

Crap

I cursed as I awoke to the sounds of banging on the door. "What is it now!" I warp a bathrobe around me and head towards the door. I manage to hear my pet growling. Great. I open the door expecting to see a happy little pony but I didn't. Instead it was Pinkie. However her hair was lifeless and tears were being held back. "Pinkie?"

"D-did you really mean it?" I wanted to hug her.

"Mean what?"

"T-That we are not your friends any more?" I let out a sigh and close the door. Well I tried to before Pinkie tackled me to the floor. "Please answer me." I tried to escape but she had the Pinkie grip. "P-Please." I look into her eyes and shake my head. "No..." Her grip tighten. "L-Let us make it up to you!" I shake my head. "W-Well let me make it up to you!" I shake my head again. "I-" I put my hand over her muzzle. She couldn't hold the tears back as she went limp onto my chest. I could do what Pinkie could not and hold back my tears. Was this too much? I have gone so far that Pinkie has came and begged to be my friend but...I went over the line. The Pinkie Pie would continue to try but she gave up easily. I made Pinkie be...non-Pinkie.

I pick Pinkie by the neck and carry her outside. I set her down and slowly close the door. Just seeing a heartbroken Pinkie.

I walk away to hear knocking again. Damn it Pinkie. I walk back and open the door. Ditzy? "D-Do you mean it for everypony?" I quickly bend down and pick her up. After closing the door I went over and sat on the sofa. I held her tight.

As I was about to speak I felt her muscles tensing. "No. Not everypony. You are the only one I can call friend."

She looked at me with Puppy eyes. "Why?"

"I-I can't explain but know this. You will always be my friend." I ruffle her mane while she snuggles into my chest. Here we go again.

"I thought you said we were friend?"

"We are."

But you said.

Should I really tell ponies that I'm a friend of Nightmare Moon?

Silence. Ha! I win.

I had manage to cheer up Ditzy and now I'm in the market. I only had a few things on the list.
List:
Cloak.(I always wanted one.)
Book. (Going to be hard since Twilight is going to be there.)
Fruits (Not a certain pony.)

Hmm Rarity would of made a good Cloak for free but I can't trust her. "Get a bucket of fruit for 3 bits!" I turn towards the sound and see a green fur mare and purple mane.

"What is in the bucket?" I walk towards her.

"Apples, pears, bananas and oranges! All for 3 bits!" I nod and hand her 3 bits. "Thanks sir!" She hands me the bucket. "It's hard selling fruits when AJ sells the best apples!"

I lose my smile. "They are not the best." I turn and walk away. Next stop...books...great. I make my way over to the library. I look up at the sky. Heh. That cloud sure is low. Too low. I stop walking and watch as the cloud pasts over me. A rainbow tail was sticking out. Really? I continue to walk without saying anything.

After a little walk I arrived at the library. Here we go. I test the door handle. Not locked. I let out a sigh and enter the room. "Hey bro!" I see Spike cleaning up the place.

"Hey. I here to return some books and take some new ones."

"Sure thing!" I nod and dump the books on the counter. I head over to the horror section. They could be useful for Dark magic. I head over to the fantasy zone once I'm done. So could these.

"Good to see your still into books." Oh no. I know that voice. I pick a few up and walk towards the door.

"I see you later Spike!" He waves while I head out.

"Wait!" I hear hooves following me. I'm stopped in my tracks by Twilight. "Why are you doing this?" I showed no emotion. I tried to walk around but she kept on stopping me. "You made Pinkie cry! Stop!" I stop trying to get away. "We can help you!"

I couldn't help myself as I start laughing. I grab her by the neck and lift her to my eye level. Fear was in her eyes. Her horn stared to glow but I put my hand over it to stop the spell. "You all helped enough!" I throw her behind me. Only to hear a nasty fall. I turn to see Twilight laying on the floor with a bleeding cut on her muzzle.

"Hey!" I turn to the source of sound to see AJ and Rarity. "You can't do that to her!" AJ runs to Twilight while Rarity trots over to me.

"Darling what has gotten into you!"

I lean towards her. "I feel free!" I quickly grab Rarity and chuck her at the group.

"Hey you can't do that to our sister!" I notice the CMC at my feet.

I slowly walk away. "I can. Blank flanks." I leave while my words sting their hearts."

Wow

Wow it's fun being evil.

Don't get carried away.

"Ow!" I grab my head.

Did you smack my mind?

So?

Where was this Nightmare Moon?

Ponies need to fear me. Not see my joyful side.

I enter my home and walk towards my room. I pick up the spell book and flip to the Elements.

Are you sure?

Meh.

That your get out off Tartarus card.

I let out a chuckle. Now what Elements should I start off with? Fire. I should not try it out in my home. Earth. Meh. Air. Meh. Nature. Meh. Light. Meh. Water it is.

I flip over to the pages. Oh you got to be joking. The book had every type of water spell. From combat to making water safe to drink. What was worst was water had a sub page. Ice. Let's start with the first one.

Water. Nov.1: Summon water.

Wow...that sounds...interesting?

While you eventually learn to control water. You find yourself in situation where there is no water around. While this spell may sound stupid you find it can save your life.
How to do it: Just think about water and where you would want it to appear.

Seems. Easy enough.

Show off.

I cupped my hands together and focus on water. Slowly I feel my hands getting wet but still not water. I try harder. Nope. I close my eyes and try everything I have in me. I open my eyes to see a pool of water in my hands. Cool but I wonder. I take a sip of water. Hmm not bad.

*KNOCK*

I jump at the sound and drop the water. Great. I jump over the puddle and hide the book. I arrive at the door and open it. Celestia. I try to shut the door but she puts her hoof out. "We need to talk." Wow she sounds serious. Then I notice her expression. She does not look happy.

"I-"

"Now." She pushes past me while I notice two Royal day guards outside. What it going on? I shut the door and turn to Celestia. "I understand your upset but you shouldn't act this way towards others." I shrug. "I heard about what you did today." Crap. "This is not you!" She places a hoof on my shoulder. "I know you must feel terrible."

I shake off her hoof. "Nope. It felt nice." I could see a shocked look on her muzzle.

"But..." She shakes herself together. "You shouldn't hurt my ponies."

"Oh but you didn't do anything when I put Shining in hospital!" A few seconds went past. OH CRAP! I quickly put my hands over my mouth.

"T-that was you?" I could see she was holding back tears. I was scared at what was going to happen next. "I-I have no choice. For what you did to Shining was over the line." Oh crap, crap and crap. "I here by place you under arrest. Guards!" The two guards enter my home while Celestia walks out. "I shall wait outside."

"What..." Was all I could say. I-I never thought she would do it. What worst was how easy she did it.

"Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way." Says one of the guards. They were both pegasus.

I would suggest not to use magic. Best keep it hidden for now.

Oh your no fun but I see your point.

"When did anypony take the easy way?" I manage to make the two guards smile. Great.

*WHACK*

I fall to the floor. "Ow my head." I slowly turn my head to see a third guard. "Oh that is just cheeky." Two of the guards walk over and sit on me. "Really." I feel chains strap around my hands and feet. "Crystal chains. Cool. I mea-" My voice is cut off as a crystal was strapped around my mouth and locked onto my neck.

The third guard walks in front of me. "These chains will make it hard for you to run or fight. The mouth chain is so you can't call for you pet by shouting or using your bond. Don't worry Fluttershy will take care of your pet." I roll my eyes. "Now come on." I'm lifted by the guards and dragged towards the door. Wait why were they carrying this magical mouth crystal thing? I pulled outside my home to see a chariot with Celestia inside. She didn't looked at me. A crowd has appeared around my home. Watching and talking about me while I'm pulled out. I could see the CMC, Elements and...Ditzy. She looked heartbroken. She tried to push past the guards that were blocking off the crowd but they kept her out. I wanted to stop walking but the guards kept on pushing me. I now notice the second chariot. I pushed inside and chained to the seat.

I look outside while we take off. Confused, worried, fear and many more was scattered around the group. My eyes slowly fell to the power of sleep.

*WHACK*

My eyes shoot open. I awake to see a guard in my face.

"Good now your awake." A brown mare walks in my little prison. "Your trial has finish. Yeah they did it without you." I was speechless. "You are to do 2 months in royal prison."

I tilt my head.

The brown mare smirks. "Royal prison is kept for the special criminals. For example it's were all the captured Changeling's are kept. Now leave." I am dragged out of the my little prison. A unicorn guard walks over to me.

"I am the warden. My name is Steel Wing. Lets get to the point. Be a nice prisoner and we be happy. Be bad and we will have a problem. Ok?" I nod. "Good. Now follow me." I roll my eyes as he pulls my chain. Two huge metal doors with a tower on each side were open. I made mental note as we walk through in case of a prison riot. Left,right, down and etc... Guard on patrol 24/7. We have breakfast and dinner. Wait... I notice the stares I was getting from all the cells. Changeling's...I was the only non-changeling prisoner. I tap the wardens shoulder. "Hmm?" I gesture to all the cells. "Oh yeah you are the only non-Changeling to make it this bad." Great. We stop at a cell on the third floor. Cell number 367. "This is your cell and you are prisoner 0." He comes right up to my face. "Cause your special." I wanted to hit him right here and now.

"Ow!" The warden ripped off my crystal mouth thing. "The prison has a spell to stop many types of magic. So you won't need this inside." A smile creeps onto his muzzle. "Enjoy your stay!" I'm pushed inside the cell. Inside was a bunk bed, toilet and sink.

I could hear the warden laughing with his guards. "So your the new guy?" A Changeling comes into view.

"Yes and?"

"Not much. It seems we are going to be cell buddies." I walk over to the beds. "I'm on the top."

"Sure." I lay down on the bottom bed. "So let's get this out of the way. My name. I don't have one so call me what you want. Ponies have tried to make me stick to a name but I would refuse."

"I'm Fang." He jumps onto the top bed.

"Well nice to meet you Fang. Now don't worry I do not hate Changeling's. In fact your a cool species. So as long as you don't give me trouble I wont give you any. Cool?"

"I-I guess so."

"What wrong?"

"I-I never had a friendly reaction like this."

"I know that feeling."

BUZZ

"Come it's time for dinner." Fang jumps down and walks out. I follow him out to see other Changeling's leaving their cells. They were all watching me. "Don't worry about them." I nod and follow Fang down to the canteen. We grab a tray and line up. I notice the workers dump a crystal onto the Changeling's trays.

"What's with the crystal?"

"Oh that?" He points to his just severed tray. "This crystal contains a small bit of love from the Crystal Empire. It's the only thing keeping us alive." He walks over to a table.

"What do you eat?" I turn my focus to the mare at the canteen. Wow. No joke that there are more mares than stallions.

"I am a omnivore."

She drops a red blob onto my plate. "Good thing you are locked up." I punch the glass between us and watch her reaction.

"Don't say things you regret." I take my tray and walk over to the table Fang was on.

I take a seat by Fang only to have other Changeling's hiss at me. Fang pouts. He then chirps and slowly each other Changeling's starts chirping. "What going on?" I ask Fang.

"They arguing if they should trust you." They chirping slowly gets louder. "Um it may get out of hand.

"YOU!" I turn to the sound only to get knocked out of my chair. I feel two hoofs warp around me. I look down at my capture.

"Azaria?"

Her grip gets tighter. "Oh! You remember me!"

"C-Can't...breath!" She gasp and quickly lets go.

"Oh I'm sorry." She helps me up and take the seat next to me.

The Canteen is silent. As every Changeling is watching me. "H-How do you know each other?" Fang asks.

"Oh. Well after you little Canterlot moment." Every Changeling shudders at the mention. "I came across an unconscious Azaria and felt sorry for her. So I took her in and looked after her until she was ready to go."

Fang tilts his head. "How did you feed her?"

I let out a sigh. "Here we go. Well I fed her."

"What?"

"Love."

"You love her!"

"No."

"What?"

"Well you see." How I'm I going to say this? "Look at it like this. A human love is much bigger and stronger than other species on this planet."

"So..."

"Well I gave her love to feed off. I can do this by opening myself up and letting her feed or." I grab Azaria and place her on my lap. "I can put my hand near her horn. The second option is better for one Changeling as it will focus on them and taste better. The first choice will allow all Changeling's to have access. Best part is human's love regenerates faster and the more it regent the bigger and stronger it gets."

"C-can we try it?" I swear I heard every single Changeling in the prison hiss in agreement.

"Yes but!" I lean closer to Fang. "Better if the guards don't hear so say it in your language." He nods. "Every single Changeling in this prison must consider me a friend or a ally." He nods again.

He turns away and chirps. Changeling's were talking among themselves. "It taste better then this Crystal."

I'm thrown off me seat as each Changeling shout back at me. "They agree."

"Thanks Fang. This is going to be interesting."

"Umm...may we ask for the food?"

I let out a sigh and stand up. "Feed!"

Nightmare

Fang watched his human friend sleep. Heh. Those Changeling's sucked him dry... That sounds wrong.

Subject!

Fang looks around for the source of the voice.

Hive mind.

The Changeling slaps himself.

I don't have much power to continue our talk when your inside this prison.

Fang nods.

Where was the source of that delicious love you have just receive?

Fang explains the human and his little adventure.

I see...Keep an eye on him.

Fang was about to nod but is thrown off his bed from the human screaming.

I rolled around the floor screaming in pain. "WHAT GOING AHHHH!" I clutch my side.

"Human!" I see Fang run over to me. "What is wrong?"

Then I felt something being ripped from me. Oh no. The bond! "IT'S AHHHH!

Fluttershy was crying in Rarity embrace while Pinkie and Rainbow were scolding Twilight and Applejack. Fire ponies were in the background trying to put a fire that was consuming a house.

"What have you done!" Rainbow shouts.

The element of magic and honesty were openly crying. "W-We." AJ starts. "W-We wanted to look for a way to help our friend. We didn't know a fire was going to break out when w-"

AJ was cut off as a howl is heard.

"OH NO!" Fluttershy leaves Rarity embrace and flies towards the burning building. A cyan flash tackles her to the ground but she has seen the damage. She saw through the window the fire's victim. A burning body of a Timberwolf.

I lay on the cold hard stone floor. The pain was gone but...something felt missing. Like it has been torn out. "You ok?" I turn to see Fang looking over me.

"Y-Yeah...Mind helping me up?" Fang nods and helps me to my bed.

"What happened?"

I let out a sigh and grab my chest. "It felt like something was torn out."

"What?"

"It has something to do with my pet." I was going to explain more before the cell door opens.

A unicorn guard walks in. "You!" He points to me. "You have a visitor."

"I don't want to see anyone."

"Too bad." I was going to ask what he meant but he grabs my chains and drags me away.

After a little dragging I'm thrown into a room. The room was spilt into two part as a wall was built in the middle with a hole. Metal bars were in the hole. A chair stood on each side.

Oh great. On the other side sitting on the chair was Luna. I let out a sigh as I know I will have to do this. I walk over and sit down. What I notice was Luna was avoiding eye contact and looked like she hasn't slept in days. "What do you want Princess Luna?" I saw my words cut deep as she hated me calling her that.

"I-I."

"What is it?" I lean back in my chair smirking.

"It's to do with your pet."

My smile fades and I sit properly. "I felt pain today. I felt it had something to do with my pet."

"You see..." I lean forward. "I..." I felt my rage growing. "Is no longer with us." I heard my heart breaking.

"What..."

"You see..." Luna lets out a sigh. "Twilight and Applejack broke into your home and tried to find anything that could help you. Then an accident happened. Your house went up in flames and your pet...happened to caught in it."

"WHAT!" I launch forward wanting to grab Luna but instead I grab the bars. Luna jumps back from my reaction. "WHAT ABOUT THE TWO. DID THEY DIE?"

She shakes her head. "Thank Celestia they weren't."

Oh no she didn't. "THANK CELESTIA? FORGET ABOUT HER! SHE IS NOTHING TO ME!"

"Don't talk of our sister like that!" She snaps back.

"OR WHAT! YOU KILL ME? GO AHEAD!"

I could see Luna was taken back. "D-Don't say that."

"I hate you and everypony." Can't tell her about Ditzy or Nightmare Moon.

"P-Please. Don't say that."

I slowly move away.

"Even these Changeling's are better than you."

"No!" She got up. "You can't trust these Changeling's! They invaded us!"

"So you hate the entire race?" I turn and walk out the door. I allow the guard to drag me back to my cell.

I ignore Fang and head to sleep.

Nightmare.

Yes?

Let's go on a adventure.

I could hear Nightmare laughing.

I open my eyes to see a pathway. I seemed to be standing on nothing. I notice doors on each side of the path. I felt a breeze on my neck. I turn to see a grinning Nightmare Moon.

"Well nice to see you fully."

"What are we here for?"

"Aw your no fun." We both let out a chuckle. "The dreams of Twilight and Applejack please." Nightmare nods and her horn glows. The doors rushes past us until two are left. "You pick."

"Sure." She walks towards the left door. She pushes it open and the world around us starts to change.

"Ah Applejack dream." My answer was correct as we found ourselves at Sweet Apple Acres. I could see Applejack playing with her family by the barn. "So how does this work?"

I felt Nightmare place a hoof on my shoulder. "Just think about something and it will happen." I turn to see Nightmare grin widen. "I can't wait to see what you will do!"

I grab Nightmare hoof and swat it away. "I think your starting to like me." I hear Nightmare let a snort and laugh in return. "Ok let's do this."

I consecrate my plan and wait. "Nothing happening."

I pat her helmet. "Just wait Moony~"

She tries to smack me but it just goes through me. "Wh-"

I clamp her muzzle shut. She tries to shout but fails. "Shh Moony~ It's about to start~"

I watch as my plan was slowly activating.

"HELP!" Applebloom screams out. Applejack turns to see all of her family being dragged into the barn. Applejack tries to run after them but cannot move. She tries to screams but fails as well. The barn slams shut only to catch fire. Applejack screams on the inside as tears fall freely.

"Mhjhf."

"What?" I felt Nightmare poking my hand. Oh right. I let go.

"I said. Impressive but I can do better." I roll my eyes as I wait for the last part of my plan.

Applejack watch as a figure walks out of the barn. "APPLEBOLM!" She shouts. She find her self able to move and speak. She runs over and embraces her. Applebloom was burnt badly. "Stay with me!"

Applebloom looks at Applejack with emotionless eyes. "Murder." Applejack could only watch in horror as Applebloom start chanting the word murder.

I click my finger and find me and Nightmare moon somewhere else. "Aw we couldn't see the rest." I roll my eyes again and watch the dream. Twilight was...reading books with Spike. "You ok?" I turn to see Nightmare looking at me worryingly.

"Why do you care?"

She let's out a smirk. "I don't have much to do."

"Fine." I let out a sigh. "These two are having nice dream and they just murdered my pet."

"Luna is stopping them from having nightmares."

"But.They.SHOULD!" I snap. "Why should they have happiness from what they did!"

"I can sense a lot of nightmares coming from the prison."

"She giving the Changeling's nightmare?" She nods.

"She making them relive the invasion."

"What about other races?"

Nightmare looks at the floor. "She doesn't care much for the others."

"Racist..."

I quickly create a nightmare and leave. "What we don't get to watch?" Nightmare runs after me.

"Twilight nightmares are lame to us but scary to her." I turn towards Nightmare. "Do you really want to see all her books disappear? She breaks down." Nightmare manages to catch up. "You know..." Nightmare start to look curios. "I can break you to."

Nightmare let's out a chuckle. "How would you do that?"

"First can I force myself awake?"

"Yeah. Just think about waking up."

"Ok good. Are you ready?"

"Bring it!" She takes a battle stance.

I walk up to her while she looks at me confused. Once I'm close enough I hug her. "Thanks for being a friend." I let go and look at Nightmare. I let out a chuckle as she seems to have froze while her pupils shrink. "Ha! Told you I can but I'm also serious about what I said." Once I say that I force myself awake.

I rub the sleep from my eyes to notice it is completely dark. Doesn't matter.

Nightmare?

No response. Well I broke Nightmare Moon. I let out a chuckle that echo's through out the cell.

If only mu pet was here with me. I silently break down as I couldn't hold my emotions any more.

No more...

"Are you sure about this Dash?"

"Of course! I'm a pranking master! You should know better AJ!"

The day is almost over. Thank Celestia. Who would of thought Equestria would need a human so bad! Plus I'm pretty sure Mr Rich could of hired a group of ponies instead of just me to fix his club house. At least he paid me well and now I can rest with Moonlight. My pet Timberwolf.

I remember how I got Moonlight like it was yesterday. It wonder into Ponyvillie, barely alive. Looking for Fluttershy for help. Instead when she found her. Yes Moonlight is an female. Don't ask how long it took me to find out. Being Flutttershy, she freaked out and claimed it was trying to attack her. The Ponyvillie residents tried to bring harm to it after hearing this. Disgusted at seeing this once I saw the Timberwolf in its condition. I fought everypony to get her back to my house. Where I gave it a purple gem where it contains magic. So the Timberwolf could heal it self with it. Not once did she ever attack me or act aggressive in any way.

After that day I would return from work to see her at my doorstep. I kept carrying her to the Everfree forest but she would come back the day after. Until one day she arrived with a scar on her left eye. She got it after trying to get to my doorstep but of course a pony tried to attack her to scare her off. This made me realise that she would keep on coming no matter what. So I took her in.

Over time I realise what she saw me as. Her father. How and why? I don't know. My guess was right after one day I woke up screaming in pain for hours. Then when it stopped my pet was just smiling at me. Them I felt it. I felt her emotions. After Twilight having a freak out when she heard. She told me what happened. An rare occasion happened to me. When a Timberwolf feels completely safe and happy. A link is made with the target, the Timberwolf and...ever other Timberwolves. A link that all Timberwolves can sense. The link tells them that I am a true friend to their species and will not harm them.

Good eh? Yes but this made Twilight and the elements worry about me. So I gave them a warning. If they try to take Moonlight away or harm her. I will hunt them down. They didn't listen at first. So they sent a Royal guard after Moonlight. They listen to my warning when the guard was in the hospital the next day.

Heh.

Now I could go home and fall asleep with Moonlight by the fire.

I approach the door to my house to see a note on it. I pick it up and open it

All it read were two words. Got you!

Oh no was all I manage to say before my vision goes black and spikes of pain shot through out my body. I can't feel the ground. I'm I flying? I feel my self slowly falling unconscious but to quickly hear a few sounds.

"Dash you over did it!"

"OMY GOSH!"

"He is heading towards Twilight house!"

"I'm not fast enough!"

*CRASH!*

"Quick doctor he's heart is falling!"

"Clear!"

"It's dropping faster!"

"Clear!"

"Give me Lv 10!"

"But doctor no one has survive Lv 10!"

"We don't have a choice!

"Clear!"

Sounds of birds singing. The machine beeping. Wait machine! I jolt upwards only to regret it as pain shoots through out my body. I hear the sound of beeping getting quicker. I open my eyes for them to burn as I try to adjust to the light. I notice straight away I'm not in my house. I know this place too well. The hospital.

"Ah your awake!" I turn my focus on the mare in the room. Nurse Redheart. Was she always there? "How are you feeling?"

"Like..." Your not on earth remember? "I had worst." I notice my remark caused her to smile.

"Good let me just inform the doctor while you get some sleep." She was heading towards the door.

"Wait!" I call out. "I'm not going to sleep until you tell me how I got here." She kept on looking at me until she let out a sigh. She knew I was serious. Plus she did say she always wanted to help in any way after what I did for her.

"Redheart what's wrong!"

"They took my best friend!"

"Fleur?"

"Yes."

"I get her back!"

So listen I did. I could of died from an panic attack there and then.

How it all started was when a prank set up by Rainbow and AJ went horrible wrong. How I got punch by a huge boxing glove in the face and chest. It was meant to be a push. So I would roll down the hill I live on. Into a bath of cup cakes. Instead a spring broke and I was sent flying through Ponyvillie. Still not over. I went flying into Twilight window, then through her basement door and into Twilight currently in use chemistry set.

I was sent here after. She said I barely survive. However they said something kept me alive. They have no idea what it was.

What caught my attention was what they couldn't cure. Magic or no magic. I had a scar on my left eye. De ja vu. Also my pupils were now a dark red instead of brown. The scar was from the window and the eyes were from the enchanted chemistry set.

She went on and on but I have zone out. All this pain since arriving here was because of these ponies and Alicorns. Especially the Elements and the Alicorns.

Pinkie shot her party canon in my face.
Rarity had sent me to get some gems at a mountain. Which was home to a dragon.
Rainbow...pranks
AJ pranks and the amount of times she freak out when she was in one of her moods. Which lead to me having to calm her down. To be rewarded with a last second freak out kick in the guts.
Fluttershy making me do jobs that end in me being hurt.
Twilight...too many
Celestia from when see freaked out from seeing my pet Moonlight. Leading to protect Moonlight from the power of the sun.
Luna...Luna because of her death hugs.
Cadence because Cadence.
Don't get me stared on the other ponies. The fact is it always ponies. Griffons... Pretty much any other race. Barely hurt me. Even a few of my secret Changeling buddies that I feed secretly so they can survive. Five changelings. I can feed them without running out due to the link I have with the Timberwolves. I have an endless supply of love to feed them. In return they would keep me (a food supply) a secret from other Changelings. They learned over time to hide it from the hive mind.

Back to the point. Ever since I befriended these ponies. All I get was pain in return. They would come to me to ask me to fix their problems. Since I'm so good at it...All I get is a thanks.

Pain...

No more pain.

"The element are in the waiting room. I go and call them!"

I focus back to the real world to see Redheart heading towards the door. "No wait!" She stops and spins towards me. "I need some rest. So no guest for now...please." I lay myself back down on the bed to just see Redheart nodding and shutting the door.

I need to think about this matter after some rest.

Where am I? I'm I dreaming? All I see is darkness. Pitch black all around but I'm standing on it somehow. This must be a dream. I hope Luna is not here.

"We won't hurt you."

"W-what?"

"Come to us."

"W-who are you?"

"A friend who will never hurt you."

"W-what?"

I couldn't see who was speaking. However the voice seemed to a be all around.

Then I felt it. A cool breeze on the back of my neck. Breathing.

"We want you...badly!"

My eyes shot open. I'm back in the real world.

What just happened?

A new friend

"You have a visitor!"

"Who is it?" I reply to the voice.

Nurse Redheart walks in. "Its...more than one...and..." Is she? She shivering. "Its...the elements."

I look straight into her eyes. I hear the heart monitor beating faster. "I don't want to see them..." She looks like she is going to fight back. "I SAID NO!" She is taken back by my statement and submits.

How dare they show themselves to me. I bet their her cause they want check on their friend! We are not friends any more. I let out a long sigh. Once they find out they gonna try to win my friendship back. Great... While I think I can handle them its when the princesses find out that's going to kill me. Manly one. Luna. She always leaned on me. I hate seeing her sad. She second on the list of 'I hate seeing ponies sad'. Under Ditzy. But Luna never treated me like a friend. None of them did apart form Ditzy.

"Umm..." I focus back to the real world and notice Redheart is still there. "Miss Ditzy is also here to see you."

Without thinking I reply. "Send here in please." She nods and walks out.

A while goes by until I see a head poke into the room. "Ditzy?" Was all I could say before she slams into me. A pair of hooves warped around me while she buries her head onto my chest. I feel tears rolling down my chest. "Ditzy?" No response. I lift her head with my hand. Until she is staring into my eyes. Sort of. "What wrong?" She doesn't say anything but I could now see it fully. That face. A face of fear.

I hug her back. "Shh...its ok." I slowly stroke her mane. "I'm here for you." Her grip tightens. That when it hits me. Why she was in fear. Fear of losing me. I was the one who truly treats her like a mare. Her best friend. Her true friend.

A while has past and Ditzy had fallen asleep on me. I didn't mind. This happened before. She needed me and I be their for her. For as Ditzy is my friend. My best friend...My only friend.

Nurse Redheart came to tell me I was good to leave but could stay here for a while. I asked if the elements were here to which she said no. After learning to walk again as it was a while. I changed into the clothes the hospital got from my home. I then carried Ditzy home and was greeted by a happy filly. After a little chat with the filly I left and walk towards home. I wonder how my pet is doing?

Oh no. At the bottom of the hill was none other than Luna. She spins and notices me. She lungs at me while she cries my name. However something strange happens. Time slows down for me and without me knowing I block her attack...hug. Time speeds back up and I see a confused Luna in my grasp. I put her down and continue walking. I hear hooves. Luna was walking right beside me and was talking to me. I couldn't hear her as I had blocked her out. I was about to reach my door when Luna flung herself in between. She got on her hind legs and look into my eyes. A face of worry was all I could see. On the verge of tears. She just looked into my eyes while she spoke away. My eyes. My changed eyes.

I felt my rage rising and I pick up Luna. I fling her to my side and enter my home. Without looking at my doing. I walk straight to my bed and fell upon it. In a while I felt weight added onto the bed and lay next to me. However I could feel its emotions. While it could feel mine. My pet is laying next to me. She knows not to bother me. Sleep soon took over me.

I awoke to the sounds of knocking. God damn it! I got dress and walks towards the door. My pet was growling at the door. Great. I walk over and open the door. "What is it?" I cry. I look on the one who dared to awoke me at this hour. Celestia. Nope! I quickly slam the door and walk away.

I hope she will get the message as I know that door won't stop her. I head into my kitchen to see a bright light coming from my living room. My pet tells me who it is. God damn it!

I grab the coffee I had just made and head into the living room. Celestia sat upon my sofa and motion towards a nearby chair. I walk over and sit upon it. My pet lays herself on my lap.

"Now do you know why I'm here?" Celestia spoke.

"No."

"I heard of what happened to you but I also heard about Luna last night."

"So?"

"I'm worried about you."

"Ok bye."

I saw Celestia was taken back by this. "I...I...Did you see what you did to Luna?" I shake my head. "She came to me crying while blood was upon her muzzle." Ah! Good! "She only just now fell asleep...I also heard about you not wanting to talk to the Elements...Please." She got up and walked towards me. "I know this is not you. Let us help you." My rage was slowly rising. That sentence. Let us help you. "Are you ok?" The cup of coffee in my hand shatters. Blood and coffee runs down my leg.

I look at Celestia. Shocked was all I could see. My pet jumps off my lap as I rise from my seat. I head towards the door and open it. Just before I go out I turn towards Celestia. She was walking towards me. "Let me help you there." Her horn glowed but I stop the magic by grabbing her horn.

I lean towards her ear. "No leave it. I need this pain to help get my mind off the other greater pain. The pain of you." I let go and slam the door. Just seeing a shocked but also crying Celestia. I just kept on walking after. I didn't care where I was going.

After a while of walking I was sat upon a bench in the park.

We wouldn't treat you like that.

The voice again. Now I know I should be worried about it or scared but I didn't care.

And who is this 'We?'

Oh you know who we are.

I hate to say the voice is right but its right. Luna told me of these voices. Voices she heard when Nightmare moon was about to take over her.

The darkness?

We are glad you know of us.

So Nightmare what do you want?

How?...How did you know it was me?

I have my ways.

No matter. I guess there is no harm in telling you. I Nightmare moon have placed my self inside of you to help me regain my strength without Luna messing it up!

So your no longer in Luna?

No. I would regain quicker in Luna but she been making it rough.So last night when you grabbed Luna I quickly leap onto you. NOW YOU WILL NOT TELL THEM!

Alright.

DONT DISAGREE! I SH- wait what?

Go ahead. I just have some questions.

Um...Speak!

Why were you trying to act all friendly to me and will I be affected by you in anyway?

Well...I saw what you went through and I thought maybe we could be allies? You could be useful to me.

So a friend?

If you must view it like that then...ughh. Yes and the to your second question. Now I am not the only one intrested. The darkness..a.k.a Dark magic have taken an interest in you. Now I wouldn't want to deal with them but its your choice. You can welcome them or refuse. If yes then you will be able to use Dark magic but is will be a long and painful process to master it. Not even king Sombra mastered it. I would ask you to refuse even when it could help me. The Dark magic will hide your aurora but thats all the help you get.

Do it.

Are you sure? I left out all the negative stuff I should of told you.

These ponies hurt me. I mite as well do something that will hurt them back. As I'm pretty sure me learning Dark magic will break their hearts. Plus Yolo!

Um...As you wish but you need to it somewhere else. Somewhere were we wont be seen.

Ok.

Our talk must end. Ponies are coming towards you.

I focus back to the real world and notice a pink and purple blur coming towards me. After my eyes adjusted I saw who the ponies were. Cadence and Twilight. Great.

They wave but I just close my eyes. Not long I felt them sit next to me.

"Hello!" A voice cried. I open my eyes and saw Cadence to my left while Twilight was to my right. I tried to get up but got pushed back down. "Why are you avoiding ponies?" Ah so it was Cadence speaking. I felt a sudden weight on my right. I looked and saw Twilight has fallen asleep on me. I hear giggling. I turned and saw Cadence holding a hoof over her mouth. "Poor girl. She worked herself to the bone. I had to drag her outside. But..." She turned serious. "Why are you avoiding ponies lately?" She laid herself on my left shoulder. "You can tell us. We are your friends."

I smile and flick her off. I start to laugh while Cadence remained confused. "FRIENDS? HA! HA!" I got straight into Cadence face. "We are not Friends! WHY HAVE I BEEN AVOIDING PONIES YOU ASK? Well because they are a pain. We are no longer friends. Not you. Not Twilight. Not the other Elements. Not anypony." She was on the verge of tears. "Well that not 100% true." Her face showed a sigh of hope. "Only two ponies shall remain my friends. Who are they? YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW BUT ITS NOT YOU!" I force my way up and off the bench. Twilight fell onto the floor while Cadence was hanging onto my arm.

She was openly crying. "Please..." I flick her off my arm and she lands onto Twilight while I start to walk home. I hear Cadence crying while Twilight was shouting.

May I ask who is this other pony? If I'm right you only friendly with Ditzy.

Well I made friends with her today.

Really who?

You.

Nightmare was silent for the rest of the way. I arrived at my home and open the door. Great. Just Great. Inside was Shinning Armour.

As soon as he see's me he runs up to me and grabs my collar. Brining me down to his height. A face of anger was upon him. "What did you do!"

I didn't answer as I was answering someone else.

He throws me into the sofa while I receive my answer. Good. Shining walks towards me and stops a few meters away. "We are trying to help you! Why Won't you- ARGHH!" My pet had pounced upon Shinning and held him in a signature lock on his neck. Blood was dripping but that wasn't the problem.

I got up and walk closer to Shining. "Now listen to me. My pet here has you gripped in a special lock. Try to get out and you be in more pain. As her jaws are close to some certain veins." I pat Moonlight. "You shall leave and tell the ponies not to bother me."

Moonlight adjusts her jaws so he could talk. "N-no!"

I shake my head. "Wrong move."

Hey Nightmare?

Yeah?

Got any spells that will keep his mouth shut but also teach him an lesson?

My pleasure! Grab his horn.

I reach down and grab his horn. Suddenly Shining eyes start to water and go red. He screams out in pain but Moonlight makes it so he can make no sound. After a while shining goes limp but is still breathing. Looks like Nightmare gave him an nightmare.

That was terrible.

I make Moonlight release Shining while I pick him up. I open the door and walk towards Ponyvillie hospital. After a little walk I enter and dump him on a chair. I tell the doctors I found him like this and leave. I walk back to my home and clean the evidence. I gave Moonlight a quick bath to be safe and then went into my bedroom. I warned Moonlight not to enter but to also make sure no one enters the house. She was more loyal then Rainbow Dash so I didn't have to worry.

I lock the door and stand in the middle of the room.

Nightmare I'm ready.

Are you sure. Not even I use Dark magic.

Do it.

As you wish. You know when it works when you feel pain. As it hurts the first time.

Suddenly spikes of pain hit me from throughout my body. I drop to my knees and cry out in pain. My vision slowly turns a feint green. I smack a hand on the floor to which it makes a crack. I manage to crawl towards the bathroom and look into the mirror. My eyes were a feint green while purple energy flowed out. However what stood out was my newly red pupils were glowing red. Huh this looks cool.

As soon as that sentence leaves my mouth the pain suddenly stops and my vision returns to normal.

Its over.

Want to give me some info on this?

Of course. Now you have Dark magic flowing through you. Luckily it shall hide your new power so no one knows of it. You eyes will change only when using advance spells. So novice spells you can do in public without ponies knowing. Dark magic will let you use normal magic but it will turn it into a darker version of it. Start with novice spells until you can do advance spells. If the Dark magic really have an eye on you then you should have no problem. Here to help you out.

A book suddenly appears in front of me. I catch it and open it. Inside contains a couple of spells. The book was spilt into a couple of stages. Novice spells. (Basically spell you should know for everyday life.) Element spells. (Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Nature and Light. Darkness wasn't in as Celestia banned Dark magic.) Then Advance spells. Holy crap this look hard. For example. Advance spell Nov.54 'Dragons Breath.' It was to literally breath what a dragon breathes. Including the fire. Cool its seems the flame colour would depend on the user.

However the last pages. Dark magic? But they were meant to have no books left because of Celestia. They I saw the words above the title. Those whose heart contains the Dark magic will be able to see this spells as they are meant to learn it. Oh...legit.

I walked back to the bedroom and flipped the book to Novice spells. Telekinesis. That would be useful. Focus on an object and imagine lifting it as normal. I look and make a cup my target. If I fail I would have to clean it up. I shut my eyes and focus. I open and saw the cup was in my hand. Oh...that was easy? Let me make sure. I throw the cup in the air and just before it hit the floor I use the spell. The cup was surrounded by an red aura and was lifted back to me. Ok. Cool! Next spell!

WAIT! WHOA! WHOA! You learned it just like that! It took me two days to learn that spell AND I'M MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU!"

Jealous?

No...fine! Yes! I give you an heads up. You red aura tells your using magic while a black aura with the eyes tells you your using Dark magic.

Cool.

I practice more that night and tried a couple other spells. I mastered Telekinesis, Teleportation and learned how to do magic flow. Magic flow was where you would relax and feel you magic around you. Basically it was a special type of meditation. Expect I could feel Magic and Dark magic. I fell asleep soon after.

It was enjoyable...until Nightmare wanted a chat.

Human.
Human.

Whatttttt?

Why have you been so calm and friendly towards me?

Wellllll......you need aaaa...friend

W-what?

Zzzz
