Blood Born Different

After hearing the guards talk about different things, and Dark wondering how the two guards even got this information. She soon started realizing that she was thinking... A lot... She didn't realize she was exiting her own castle!

The two guards who were guarding the door bowed once they saw Dark.

Dark nodded once they were looking up at her. They got up and went back to their position.

Once Dark was a few hoofs prints away. She looked back to see her guards looking at her and smiling. Dark waved to them, and the two guards went back to their position again.

Dark immediately stopped walking once she realized she forgot to drink her blood pack.

"Darn! I forgot to drink a blood pack! Hmm.... Oh well..." Dark thought and shrugged.

Dark looked at the green forest and the grass touching her hoofs.

"It's getting warmer and warmer, spring is about to end." Dark thought and smiled.

Dark shook her head.

"Sorry forest. I have business to take care of... And perhaps trouble..." Dark thought and sighed.

Leaving with that last thought, Dark made sure the guards weren't looking and change into her other form and then teleported to the gates of Canterlot.

                                                                                  Canterlot

Once Dark was at Canterlot, she soon saw the two guards. The same ones when Princess Luna called Dark to Canterlot. No horns, no wings. But once they saw her, they had spears at her neck.

"Oh... It's only you..." The one on the right said.

They both put the spears down.

"We know that Princess Celestia wants you. So you don't have to say anything." The guard on the left said harshly.

"Don't do that again. We might slice your neck next time." The guard on the right said harshly.

"Oh come on.... This is only my third time here." Dark said jokingly.

The two guards gave Dark a glare and turned around.

"Open the gates!" The two guards shouted.

The gates slowly started opening.

"Do they not trust me that much...? Heh. If only, they knew... What you don't know, can't hurt you? Right..?" Dark smiled at the thought.

The two guards started walking to the castle. Staying on the same path as they did last time.

The two other guards standing at the wall gave Dark a glare. They didn't have wings or horns either. But they had their spears. Those dumb spears were laying against the wall.

Dark kept a straight face while looking at the guards at the wall.

Once there faces turned back normal, Dark looked to her left and right.

"Where are all the other guards? We were surrounded when Twilight and I came to Canterlot." Dark thought and decided not to think about it too much.

But once Dark looked up at the castle. Lots of guards were standing there looking down at Dark. Ready to attack if needed to.

"Really!? Why didn't Celestia tell them that I'm not the threat? Or... Has she found out already?" Dark felt sick to her stomach at that thought.

"No! I can't think like that! I'm sure Celestia couldn't have found out that quickly... Even if she is more than 1,000 years old." Dark thought and forced herself to pay attention.

The whole walk to Princess Celestia was exhausting to Dark. Many guards were there staring at her. Dark thought the two guards that were leading her were trying to do this on purpose. Trying to make Dark worry the whole way.

Dark was worried so much, that she thought if she made a wrong move, she would get stabbed or get her neck sliced off. So she paid attention, barely thinking of anything. She only told herself to get back at those two guards that were leading her.

"Wait here." The two guards said as they stopped at the same door that Dark met Princess Celestia last time.

Dark nodded saying she understood. And the two guards went in.

"I will get you someday. Both of you." Dark thought.

Even if Dark wanted to move, she couldn't. Two more guards were guarding the door. They were both unicorns and had their spears laying on the wall.

After a minute later, the doors opened.

"You can come in now." The right guard said.

Dark nodded and said nothing. She slowly walked inside. Before Dark looked at the throne. She looked at the two guards. They left the room quickly and closed the huge door.

"Welcome, Dark. It is good to see you." A voice said.

Dark looked at the throne.

Princess Celestia was sitting on her throne, and Princess Luna was right next to her. And there were no guards next to them.

"Huh? Princess Luna?" Dark said surprisingly.

"Why is Princess Luna here?" Dark thought.

"My sister has told me about the nightmare you had," Celestia said seriously.

Dark's stomach sank once she heard that.

"Ughhhh..... Right to the point I see." Dark thought.

Dark faked smiled at the two Princesses.

"Please, come here Dark," Celestia said seriously.

Dark stopped fake smiling and quickly walked to the throne.

Dark kept walking until she was right in front of the two princesses.

Dark bowed.

"There is no need to bow, Dark. I would like you to treat us like you did with Twilight." Celestia said.

Dark looked at Luna.

Luna smiled and nodded.

Dark looked back at Celestia.

"You said there is something you wanted to talk about with me?" Dark said nervously.

"Ah. Yes.. I did. But I want you to understand something first." Celestia said and smiled.

Dark said nothing and prepared for the worst.

"It's not your fault that Twilight was kidnapped." Celestia said kindly and looked at Dark with gentle eyes.

"Huh?" Dark said.

"It's my fault. She is my student and my friend." Celestia said and looked down.

"Sister..." Luna said and put a hoof on Celestia's shoulder.

Dark's face turned sad but also serious.

"Why.....? Why do I feel bad...?" Dark thought. Questioning herself.

"I... I'll say it, but I won't like it." Dark thought.

"It's none of our fault's!" Dark shouted.

Both Celestia and Luna looked up at Dark with surprised eyes.

"The past is the past! Twilight wouldn't want us to sob over her! She wants us to find her! Like the true friends we are! She would do the same if we were kidnapped! We shouldn't worry about the past. We can't change it! So, why to worry about the things we could have done. When we could worry about the things we do today!" Dark shouted.

Princess Luna and Celestia looked at each other. And then looked back at Dark with proud, yet happy expressions.

"I know I'm going to regret saying that, but for some reason I feel a lot better. And I think the princesses will trust me more." Dark thought and smiled.
