Feather Paw's Destiny

We walk along the road, side by side not saying a word.

“Hey, are you okay?” I ask her looking sheepish.

“I’m fi------uh, I was just doing some thinking” Midnight look over at me, but quickly turn away. We remain silent as we keep walking. I feel that we both have an hard past. We were neglected by our parents and for us it was hard to share our feelings. Midnight still didn't know about my brother, but I didn’t want to say anything.

Midnight look over at the little development to the right. She sigh and look at the sign that reads “Haybrooke Falls”. “I remember I would go over there every weekend” we stop and she look at it one more time “she doesn't live there anymore, she passed away.”

“Who?” I ask as she starts walking toward the house.

She doesn't answer, but she just continues rambling on and I carry on listening.  “Nopony lives there anymore, it’s been for sale for over two years.” Tears stream down her cheeks. I walk over to her and with my hoof I touch her cheek and wipe her tears. “I want to go in” she says with more tears falling down her face, she sniffles and trots toward the house.

“WHAT?!” I inhale sharply. I know she wanted to something from there, maybe she want to remember, maybe she want comfort, insure what else to do I follow her inside the house anyway.

There is a big, open space when you walk in with rooms to your right and left and a little further down there are stairs. She slowly makes her way up the stairs and take a sharp turn. She then follow the path leading to the door and pushed it open slowly.

I take Buddy out of the little critter cage and played with him. He start looking old, and sickly. He didn’t look well at all. I look around for Midnight, but she is nowhere to be found. I come around a corner and see her sitting on her rump, staring down at the ground.

“I’m sorry” I feel sheepish knowing that one do much but she looks up at least. “It wasn’t you. I---” she stop as I hug her and plant a kiss on the top of her head. I  sit down beside her and strok her mane as she carry on crying.

“Do you love me?” she asks looking at me. I look at her for a moment, yes I did love her but I don’t know if I wanted to admit it here and now. I took a deep breath.

“Yes I do love you, and you’re talented and beautiful, but you know it’ll have to play itself out. We should get going.”

“Right” she says following me to the door, we walk downstairs and walk out the door.

"C'mon, we're almost there!" I start galloping after her.

"Wait up!" I catch up to her and trot next to her. We walked upon the road and came to quaint house.

"Here it is!" she says to me and we gallop to the front door. Midnight knocks on the door and we wait a few moments before some pony comes and opens the door, she looks young maybe only about twenty or late teens.

"Midnight Gem?!" she shrieks "Omigosh! It's been forever! How are you?"

"I'm good, yeah, uh. This is, Feather Paw. She's one of my friends. That I ran away with."

"Oh, cool" she turned to me "Hi, Feather Paw.”

"I'm Mythic Note. One of Midnight's friends from Cloudsdale" the young pony known as Mythic.

"Nice to meet you" I say to her.

"Why don't you guys come in" Mythic says to us.

We enter her house and it's not as tiny as it looks to be honest. It looks really big on the inside. Mythic give us a tour and tells us to go wash up for dinner. We do as we are tell and go to our rooms.

"These rooms are huge" Midnight tells me

I nod and walk to my room. My room is a dark blue. Almost the shade of Midnight's coat color. The ceiling is a slightly lighter shade of blue and when you walk in there is a bunk bed and a desk with some papers on them. There's a nice closet and a stand with a T.V. on it. Connected to my room is a bathroom and I think Midnight has the same thing.

I get wash up and knock on Midnight's door. "Hey... Are you in there?" I knock once more but a little harder and then turn the doorknob, I walk inside Midnight's room and find her hanging up photos.

"Hey, why didn't you answer the door?" I ask.

"I did, I said come in" she replies and moves about her room hanging up posters. "Can you help me?" She asks me.

I walk over to her backpack and take out some clothes. "Hey, I'm going to put your clothes away. Just so you know and after you're done I'll tell you how I sort everything" I start going through her clothes and making piles of shirts, shorts, and accessories. I start putting them away but quickly hear Mythic Note's voice calling us down.

"Coming" We reply in unison, we walk downstairs and into the kitchen where Mythic have made us corn, peas, and apples in a sort of lasagna the looking dish. I try it and it was really yummy but I didn't quite know what it actually is. We finish dinner and clean our plates and once again and I thank her for having me. We rush upstairs and halfway upstairs we are called by Mythic. We walk downstairs. "So before you guys came here, I was offered a job in Cloudsdale and I accepted the offer. The job starts in two weeks so I'm really going to need your help packing up."

"What! You can't leave. What about Feather Paw and I?" Midnight asks awaiting a response, you could tell just by looking at her she was really mad and ready to cry. I hear her in my embrace and also began to wait for a response.

"Well, you would come with me, of course." Mythic says. Midnight's ear perk up a bit and she looked happier than she did before.

"YES!!! WE’RE GOING TO CLOUDSDALE!" She have an excited expression on her face and I’m just happy that she was. I flap my wings and soared high above the both of them. She joined me and so did Mythic. "Thanks Mythic" I tell her before Mythic and I race around the corner and upstairs.

"Oh wow, I've only been there once! I'm so excited" I flap my wings and soar up to the sky, this is going to be awesome I think to myself. Just then I remember about Midnight's past.
