A Cold Tale

Chapter 2 - She who protects.....

Previous Chapter

I wake up in a cozy bedroom. Pictures of the Wonder Bolts are plastered all around the room. The walls and floor are like clouds, so I can deduce that a Pegasus must have brought me to a cloud house. Just as the thought passes through my mind, the door opens, revealing a blue Pegasus with a spectrum of colors as her mane. She stands about twice the size of myself, similar to how twilight did, and carries a soft smile with her.

"Hey there squirt. How ya feelin?" She asks. It almost sounds as if she genuinely cares about me....

That can't be right. No one could like something like me....

"Who are you and what do you want?" I ask in a tone as cold as the night.

"Well someone is a bit grumpy after I saved his flank from the streets. My name is Rainbow Dash. Fastest flier in Equestria! Your currently in my could house because the guards were looking for some criminal and I didn't wanna see you get squashed, so I bought you here." She said.

"Well thanks, but I have to go." I said SAMs I stood and started walking to the door, only to be blocked by a wing.

"Sorry sport. Your in no condition to fly." She motions to your wing which is bandaged with a dull throb of pain occasionally shooting through the appendage. "You can bunk with me for a while though. Take my room and I'll sleep on the couch." She states, clearly not willing to take no as an awnser.

I sigh and walk out the door and to a window down a small hallway. "Fine. I'll stay here, but if you see celestia or a unicorn named twilight sparkle, I was NEVER here. Got it?" You ask a you glare at her. She nods and your expression softens a bit. "Good. So how's about we start this over? My name is Snow Blitz, and I'm not your average Pegasus." I say as I extend my hoof to her.

She smiles and shakes my hoof. "Pleasure to meat you blitz. Though, if you don't mind me asking, why is the princess looking for a colt?" She asks. I open my mouth to ask what she means, but she beats me to the punch. "The princess was looking for someone, and you don't wanna be found by her or twilight, so talk." She says with a stern look taking hold on her face.

I sigh. "Celestia wants to keep me locked in that god forsaken castle all day, when I want to actually live my life. She thinks that just because I'm only seven years old, that I'm super fragile and that the slightest touch will corrupt me or something." I say, my voice growing harsh towards the end.

"Why does she want to keep you in the castle though? All colts and fillies meet other ponies at your age." She asks, cocking her head to the side in confusion. "What's so special about you?"

"You right. Most colts and fillies do meet other people at my age, some even younger. But celestia wants to keep her child safe by not letting him leave e castle for any reason. Even to play with other children. " I say.

I watch the Pegasus adopt a bewildered look as the gears turn in her head. After a moment she gasps and stars at me with wide eyes.

"YOUR THE PRINCESS'S CHILD!?! She shouts. You nod and she stares for a moment before asking something else. "How long have you been running from her than?" She asks.

"Um....I think it's been nine.....ten....maybe twenty-six months? Give or take a few." Her jaw drops at your response and I sigh. "its gonna be a looooong night... I think to myself.

---time lapse: 1 hour---

"So let me get this straight." Your rainbow maned hostess says. "Your some sort of "cursed elemental" thing that has the power to control the cold and your forced to live forever? That sound AWSOME!" She exclaimed, her face scrunching up and her hooves going to her cheeks. "What could you hate about that?!" She questioned.

I snorted and roles my eyes. "What isn't? Think about it. I'm a freak who lives forever. I have to watch those who get close to me die and that's only IF they don't run when they find out about my powers, which might I add is very rarely." The rainbow maned Pegasus looked down at the cloud floor in what appeared to be thought. "It's the soul reason I haven't ever really had a-" I started, only to be cut off by rainbow dash.

"Would you wanna stay here? With me?" She asked, looking me in the eyes with a pleading look.

My jaw dropped and my eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.

I stared at the the mare with widened eyes. "-family..." I finish. "W-why ask such a thing? I'm just some stranger that just so happened to be a freak in the form of a young colt." I asked suspiciously. If she was playing an angle with this, I would know. But......I couldn't see anything that would say she was.
She gave a scary mom glare, causing me to shrink in on myself. "Don't call yourself a freak first of all. Your not a freak, or a monster,for anything like that. Your different. And not in a bad way either." She smiles. "I mean come on! Who could say they could control the cold like it was a foal's toy? Only you!" She said, a smile on her face the entire time.

I felt something I haven't for a long time. It started in my chest. A warm fuzzy feeling that slowly spread through my body.

I smiled at the mare. "Okay. I'd love to stay."

Said mare grinned. "Perfect! I'll go order some takeout or something." She said. I raised an eyebrow at her, to which she cocked her head to the side slightly. "What? I can't cook to save my life, and I doubt you can, so Imma go order a pizza or something." She stated with a smirk as she cantered out of the room.

I smile and shale my head. "I can't believe this is happening again. And with her of all people." I thought as I began trotting to where the mare had left.
