I opened my eyes to a familiar sight from years ago: my cell. Turns out I should have lied about my name, for once I spoke it the purple unicorn hit me in the face with a stun spell. Ow. And to add insult to injury they put me in the very cell I had spent years in while serving Sombra. That asshole felt when the dead weren’t needed I was useless. So he kept me locked up, away from everyone.

“Can you believe the nerve of that monster? Trying to be friendly after what it did?” I heard who I presume is a guard on the other side of the jail door say. Talking about me behind my back? Dick.

I got up from my custom made cot since the pony ones were so small. I may only be 5’5” but pony cots are too damn small. I pulled my hood down letting my silver hair drape down my back. It always bunches up in my hood, never fails. It was then I noticed a bucket of water in the corner. “Huzzah! the plumbing works!” I cupped my left hand and scooped some water into my mouth. Dear lord this is amazing! Nearly a thousand years without being able to drink or bathe make water a god send. Hopefully they’d give me some food soon. I miss eating. Back on Earth, when I was in school I admit I was a chubby girl. Now I seem to be forever skinny. Its not just that I didn’t get to eat for so long that made me skinny, no it was my immortality. Self-sustaining son of a bitch. Not only can I not die, I know I can’t I tried, I can’t lose or gain weight either. Hearing this people would be jealous. They shouldn’t, it’s a bloody curse. I physically cannot change. Cut my hair: It grows back just as long in an hour. Get hurt: flesh mends itself in a matter of hours, depending on the wound.

I look at my reflection in the water, the iris of my right eye still is yellow and glowing. My left eye socket is empty, except a blue orb of flame. Cost of my necromantic knowledge, my left eye shall bear the flames of dead, my right hand shall have no flesh and be bone forever more. Its very annoying to have a skeleton hand, no sense of touch whatsoever in it. Except for when I touch the dead, or a soul. Well nothing better to do, might as well sleep

I awoke to a guard stuck in the wall, the door to jail in splinters. I glance around to see what caused it, only to find the cause. Umbra, her horn and eyes alight with dark energy.

“Umbra, dear, Why did you send that guard through the door?” I ask

“Mommy!” she shouts with glee as she uses her magic to rip the door to my cell off.

“Umbra. What did I tell you about using dark magic on others?” I ask with a hint of pride and displeasure.

“Umm… Not to?” She replies looking a bit sad. No one likes to be caught doing something wrong.

“Thats right. You do not use dark magic on anyone, unless you have to. Now come here and give mommy a hug?” I reply with a smile. She runs over and glomps me. The cute is too strong! I can’t stay upset with the filly.

“They hit you and took you away and I was so scared they were taking my mommy away again and I just got you back!” She sobs out as she clings to me.

“Oh sweetie, they could never keep me from you for long. They are just mad at mommy for something that happened a long time ago.” I say as I pet her head. “Mommy will fix the misunderstanding then they won’t try to keep us apart ok?”

“Ok mommy” her tears starting to stop. “c-can I stay here with you mommy?”

“For now sweetie” I reply. “Stay right here ok? Mommy will be right back.” I set her on my cot and walk out of my cell.

The first thing I do is pull the poor guard out of the wall, thankfully he is just unconscious and not dead. I carry him out of the jail and notice another unconscious guard near the door. “Sweetie you really did a number on them didn’t you?” I notice a pegasus flying by and yell “Hey! Pegasus! I need some help over here!” He notices and drops to the ground. Only to notice his unconscious friends. “Could you take these two to the infirmary? They had an accident.” Instead of waiting for a reply I turn around and go back into the jail. I pick up my cell door, hold it behind me, walk into my cell and put the door back in place. And sit down on my cot next to a now sleeping Umbra. Poor dear must have used too much magic. I scoop her up lay down and hold her like a teddy bear until I fall asleep.

I was rudely awakened to the clanging sounds of armor and spears, and insults from the white unicorn stallion from earlier. I don’t like him, he is very rude. I carefully stand up, making sure not to disturb Umbra from her slumber and walk over to the cell door. I knock it over, walk out and slap the stallion across the face. He was shocked, the other guards were shocked, the pink pegacorn from earlier was shocked. “You do not use such language in the presence of fillies. Do I Make myself clear, Mister Guard?” It earned him scowl from the pink pegacorn.

“What fillies? Hmm? And Why did you hurt my stallions and attempt to escape?!” he nearly shouts. I put my left hand over his mouth to shut him up, he is not waking Umbra while I am here.

Using my right hand I point at my cell “ Umbra is currently sleeping, You will not wake her up. As for you guards, they tried to keep my filly from me. You do not do that.” He looks angry, I’m going back into my cell. Damn never thought I’d say that… err think that. I walk back into my cell, pick up the door, set it in place. “If you wish to talk to me, talk later after and only after she is awake.” I sit down and stare at the door. I could see the pegacorn looking through the bars at Umbra then glancing at me. She stayed there for several minutes before walking away. I keep staring at the door, if they come in to take Umbra, they will leave as shambling corpses.

Author's Note

A new chapter? Two in one day? AM I setting myself up to fail? No. No I'm not. Just an fyi for the readers of this: The story gets updated when 1.) I am bored and decide to write. 2.) When I have time.

Best thing about that time table: I am currently jobless and have a lot of time. I also get bored a lot.

If you see any errors point them out! Please!
