~~~Time Lapse: 1 Week~~~

"Maybe this time will be different?" I thought to myself as I crept through the shadows of the town I've come to know as PonyVille. "Maybe if I just ask someone they can help me... No. Not after last time...I cant..." I felt tears welling in my eyes as memories of that fateful day rushed to my mind's eye.

I pushed all thoughts away when I heard a voice.

"Hello? Anypony down here?" Said a bubbly voice. I stood frozen in fear with my make-shift saddle bag on my side.

"She's supposed to be out of town! What in Equestria is SHE doing here?!" I began to sweat like a rain cloud when i heard hoof steps descending the stairway. "Oh good god why me?!" I thought as my Conscious screamed for me to run.

Just as the pony reach the bottom of the stairs I leaped to a floor level cupboard and hid inside. I heard somepony walking just outside of the small door that shielded me from the pony that stood outside.

"Oh come out now! Auntie Pinkie always wins at hide and seek! No use in trying now!" She said. I felt my blood run cold as I heard the cupboard to my left open. "Not in here!" She said before closing the door once more. I heard hoof steps aproching and had to act quickly, so I put up an icy fog that filled the cupboard and when the pony opened the door, the entire room was full of a snow white fog, cloaking me as I charged through the open window I had entered not so long ago and bounding down the streets of the sleeping town.

~~~Time Lapse: 5 minutes~~~

I'd been running for a solid 5 minutes now and I was nearing my destination. As I approach the large trash pile known as Ponyville Dump, I sense something is off. It feels as if I'm being followed, but as I look back I see nopony. I shrug and continue to my dwelling inside the dump, completely oblivious to the shadow that stalked me from afar.

As I arrive at a small cave that I have cleaned as best as I could and hallowed out a bit, I notice a strange red stain on the ground near the entrance. I stop to examine the splotch of crimson, but hear a crash from inside my dwelling and rush inside.

What I saw I was not ready for.

Inside my hut was a pony. A particular purple pony who particularly perplexed me. I know her as the pony who chased me through the forest a while ago, but I've heard her name is "Twilight Sparkle".

Gathering the courage, I decided to figure out what was going on and why she was in my home. But first, I pull a dark black cloak on that conceals my snowy main and white coat down to the last detail and speak.

"What are you doing here, Twilight Sparkle?" I asked in a monotonous tone. She didn't respond, but rather just laid in the middle of my hobble next to a pile of spilled trinkets I had collected from around the town. "Miss Twilight?" I asked once more, only to receive silence once more.

I slowly approached the mare and quickly took notice of why she was staying quiet.

She had been harmed. Not a cut or scrape, but a stab wound to her right side just above her flank that was bleeding Horribly.

To say I was shell shocked was an understatement. I stood completely frozen in fear. I quickly regained my bearings as I made my way to the wounded pony. She seemed to have passed out, but was still alive. She would make it.

I gave a sigh as I found that I could save her.

I lowered my hooves to her wounded side and pushed roughly on the laceration. I grunted as I felt a bitter cold steadily grow in my stomach. It felt as if I were being torn apart from the inside out, and boy was it painful. I heard the mare beneath me gasp as her eyes shot open and she jumped to her feet. She looked around frantically before noticing me at her feet with a scar on my right side, just above my flank.

Her jaw dropped as she looked at me awestruck. "I-it's you!" She said quietly. I managed a weak chuckle at this and a small, strained smile.

"Miss me?" I said just before losing consciousness and falling to the floor with a thud.

~~~A Few Days Later...~~~

I slowly regained my senses as I came to, my head spinning as I strained to lift my body from the silky embrace of a bed. I opened my eyes as I entered a sitting position to take in my surroundings.

I am in a small room with nothing more than a bed, a few cupboards, an IV machine, a heart beat monitor, and other machines along with a small red sofa that was currently occupied by a sleeping Twilight. I looked back towards the door to what I now deduced as a hospital ro- wait...Twilight?!

I shot my gaze towards the sleeping mare, curious as to why she's here, only to see her stir from her nap. She rose from the sofa and rubbed a weary hoof across her eye in attempt to wake herself up, cast me a glance, then laid her head back down for more rest.

The room was silent for a moment before...

*GASP!* "Ohmygoshyourawake!IthoughtyouwereagonerwhenyoupassedoutandIthoughtIwastheonetoblamesoIbroughtyouhereandIdidntmeantogosnoopingthroughyourthingsIpromise!Iwasjustcuriousastowhytherewasacaveatthedump!Ireallyhopeyoucan-" The mare spoke in quick sucession before I shoved a hoof into her muzzle and made a "Shush" sound to let her know to be quiet. She nodded and I removed my hoof.

"I cant believe your finally awake! I have SO many questions!" She squee'd as I started to stand from the bed.

"Nope." I said stoically as I retrieved my bag from a nearby stool.

"No? Are you kidding me?! I carried you all the way to the hospital and that's it? No?!" She fumed.

I simply shrugged my wings and started walking towards the door. "In all fairness I did save YOUR life, so technically we're even now sparkles." I said as I reach for the door, only to have it lock itself. I sigh and turn towards the angry mare.

"I'm sorry, but you cant leave. I've already alerted the princess of your arrival and she should be here any moment. She gave me specific orders to keep you here, and that is what I intend to do." She spoke in a "Matter of factly" tone.

"You speak as if you know me sparkles." I say with a small smirk. "I'm not like some regular Pegasus. In case you haven't noticed, I am not just a normal pony at all." I say as i start drawing a small symbol on the ground with a piece ice from my mane.

"Then what are you?" She said with a curious expression. I smirked and looked her straight in the eyes.

"I'm a storm baby." I said as I smashed my hoof down onto the symbol, causing a harsh flurry to storm the room and lift me from the ground. The door burst open and the snow engulfed my body quickly, forming a sort of armor. The snow hardened into a metal like material and I smashed the wall. "Later sparkles~!" I shout as I trot through the streets of the now fleeing ponies of Ponyville. All the while a stunned twilight and enraged princess stared at me from the hospital.

"Guards! After that fool!" The princess commanded. A squad of pegisi soon tailed me through the town, occasionally throwing small heat-bombs that singe through my armor and numb my body with direct contact.

"Agh!" I cried out as a heat pellet drills me in the chest. I feel my body numbing quickly and struggle to continue my charge to the forest.

After a few more seconds, it was clear I was going to lose, so I did a clever trick. In a split second all of the snow and ice like metal of my armor turned to a strong fog that covered the streets of ponyville. I smoke screened the entire town and charged to a nearby shrub to hide until the effects of the pellet wear off. I felt my body fall into the familiar embrace of unconsciousness, however just as I start to black out I see a figure tower over me, its features blurry from my state as I finally succumb to the drowsy feeling taking my body from me.
