Blood Born Different

"Twilight! Wake up!" Spike shouted.

It took Twilight a minute to wake up, but once she was awake. She instantly looked at Spike, then at the time.

"Spike do you know what time it is!? It's five in the morning!" Twilight said angrily.

"Applejack wants to talk to you outside the castle," Spike said.

Twilight was surprised, but only for a second.

"Ugh.... Does she realizes what time it is?" Twilight said.

Twilight's hair was messed up, and she was really tried. Twilight knew this was not a good way to start the day. Twilight slowly got up from her bed and slowly walked to the door. Once Twilight was at the door, She opens it with her magic.

"Twilight. I'm sorry I woke you up so earlier. It's important." Applejack said.

"What is it?" Twilight said, still annoyed.

"I ya wanted to talk about that pony. The pony named, uh Dark. I wanted to say sorry I couldn't be there."

After Twilight heard that, she felt like she was going to explode. But she kept her cool, Twilight was tried, and knew there was no point in auguring at this time.

"Tell me.... Why would you wake me this earlier!?" Twilight said angrily and annoyed.

"I, wouldn't have any time, expect now. Since I'm always really busy with Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack said

"Ugh... I'll let it go, but tell me when you're going to wake me up this early." Twilight said.

"I will, and uh... See ya later," Applejack said while walking away.

"See you later." Twilight said and closed the door.

"5:30. I should get going." Dark said. As she looked down at her paper to see what she wrote.

"Okay, just do that, and Princess Twilight should trust you," Dark whispered to herself.

Dark got up and went to her bathroom. There was a mirror, toilet, and a bathtub. The bathroom was very small.

"I really need to redecorate everything." Dark thought.

Dark did everything she needed to do in the bathroom. And she thought about her plan and looked at it again, even though Dark got no sleep. She had to meet Twilight today. If she doesn't do this, she may not get the change again or I would just have to wait a long time.

Dark decided not to go out of her bedroom and just teleport to Twilight's castle. Dark didn't want to talk or deal with any pony expect for Twilight, She also didn't want blood.

The last thing Dark needed to do is change form and look at the time.

"Okay. It's 5:45, I'm ready." Dark thought, and then teleported away to Twilight's castle.

Once Dark was tight in front of Twilight's castle, Dark needed to make sure she was really ready. And Dark realized she really was.

After a few minutes of waiting, Dark decided that it would be good to just lay down and take a quick nap. She walked over to the wall right next to the two doors. And sat down. This way she wasn't in any pony's way and Twilight could just wake her up.

                                                                          20 minutes later....

"Dark! wake up!"

Dark opened her eyes and see who woke her up, it was Twilight.

"Oh... Twilight it's you." Dark said, and slowly got up from the ground.

"So what did you want?" Twilight said, sounded a bit annoyed.

"I wanted to spend the whole day with you. The first thing I planned was to go to the bridge. Talk and watch the sun rise." Dark said calmly.

Twilight looked surprised and nodded.

"I'm sorry I wasn't so kind to you. I just didn't trust you... And my friends said I should give you a chance... I will... When you said you wanted to meet me here alone. I assumed that you would say that I didn't teach you anything about friendship... I want to thank you for being so calm to me, and my friends." Twilight said, lying to Dark about the friendship part.

Dark wanted to question why Twilight thought that she hasn't taught her about friendship, but Dark decided to say nothing.

"Do you want to go to the bridge?" Dark asked.

"Yes," Twilight said.

Dark and Twilight didn't really talk much. All they said to each other was about how yesterday was.

Once Dark and Twilight were at the bridge, they waited a few minutes. Soon the sun started to rise.

Dark and Twilight thought it was beautiful. After that, they started to talk about how pretty it was to see that. And soon they stopped talking and started walking once again.

They talked about what they would do for the rest of the day. They went to restaurants, stores, and a salon. Dark didn't even run into any problems. Basically, they walked around Ponyville.

While they did that stuff, Dark asked Twilight what it's like to be famous and begin a princess. Twilight said that it's fine, but there are too much work and too much attention.

The funny thing is that Dark felt the same way of beginning the queen of vamponys and she couldn't blame her.

Luna's moon was up when they were done for the day. Dark had lots of fun and she could tell that Twilight did too.

"I had lots of fun with you today... Thank you." Twilight said.

"No problem," Dark said.

"There is one more thing I want to do before we go home," Twilight said.

"Oh? Whats that?" Dark said with confusion.

"Follow me," Twilight said.

Twilight lead Dark to the Everfree Forest. They said nothing the whole way there. It took a few minutes, but soon they stopped, they were in some kind of hut.

"Wait here." Twilight said and enter the hut.

                                                             A few more minutes later....

"Dark! You can come in!" Twilight said in the hut.

Inside the hut, were many portions and shelf's. Twilight was siting... And also was a zebra. Dark was surprised. In all her years she had never seen a zebra.

"Dark, this is Zecora... She only wants to speak in rhymes and makes cures for colds and diseases. She can also help you if you need it." Twilight said.

"H-Hello," Dark said, still surprised.

"Welcome Dark, did you go to an amusement park?" Zecora said and smiled.

"Huh?" Dark said, more surprised.

Zecora said nothing, she grabbed two cups for Dark and Twilight and filled it.

"Go ahead and drink, before you blink," Zecora said and smiled.

Dark and Twilight did as she said, and took a sip. Then she grabbed both of their cups.

"I see you two become friends, but also some great defends," Zecora said.

"Huh...? We.... Become friends. Okay... But we defend?" Twilight said. Then she realized something.

"We become friends but have to defend something! But what?" Twilight asked.

Twilight looked at Dark.

"Defend what?" Dark asked.

"Defend to the bitter end," Zecora said.

"We become friends and have to defend something until the bitter end," Dark said.

"That's what I thought too. But what do we have to defend?" Twilight asked.

"It cant be showed because I do not know." Zecora said.

There was a moment of silence.

"Twilight you must go outside, so I can show this side," Zecora said.

Dark could tell Twilight wanted to say something, but she said nothing and went outside.

Zecora put Twilight's cup aside and continued to look at Dark's cup.

"Dark... Your carried with a heart but have to keep apart. Stay with this heart and never fall apart." Zecora said.

Dark completely understood what Zecora was saying, it was easy. Dark living more than 500 years, you learn a lot in that time. Dark think she was saying "I'm a good pony but I'm different, stay good and you'll stand strong."

The only problem was that Dark felt she was missing the most important part that's going to happen in her future. But Dark knew that it's better to get something than nothing.

"Okay. You can continue." Dark said.

"Your heart is strong but shattered and scattered. Revenge is not needed, you just need to be guided." Zecora said.

"Guide? No Revenge!?" Dark said, she really didn't believe in Zecora's words.

"You know what.. I don't believe you! I need revenge!" Dark said, and slammed the table almost making the cups spill.

Dark waited for Zecora to response. There was another moment of silence.

"I'm in need in some time. You must go." Zecora said.  And then Dark was forced to leave the hut.

"You can't just kick me out like this!" Dark said.

Zecora said nothing. And closed the door.

After Zecora kicked Dark out of the hut, Twilight was sitting down the steps and Dark joined her.

"I'm back. Shall we get going?" Dark asked.

Twilight nodded happily, and got up, and stated walking back home. Dark joined her again.

One minute past after that. Then Twilight looked at Dark.

"What did Zecora say to you?" Twilight asked, and looked at Dark.

"It's personal... But she told me how I could fix my problems that I'm having. " Dark said quickly.

Twilight stopped walking.

"What kind of problems?" Twilight asked in anger.

Dark wanted to reply, but they were suddenly saw three timberwolves.

"Timberwolves!" Dark shouted.

Dark used her magic and put Twilight on top of a tree.

The three Timberwolves noticed Dark and howled in the air. They ran up to Dark and got ready to attack.

Dark knew this was a dumb idea, but Dark knew she needed to protect Twilight.

Dark smiled at the Timberwolves, but that smile disappeared when Dark realized she made a mistake.

"I forgot to drink animal blood! Without blood and my wings, I may not be able to defeat these Timberwolves! Shoot!" Dark thought and scolded herself.

"What are you doing?! Come up here!" Twilight shouted.

Dark was still looking at the timberwolves and yelled.

"As a true friend, you always help when your friend is in need!"

The Timberwolf on the right attacked her first. Dark dodged it, then the middle one attack, Dark also dodged that. Then the right and the left attacked her, but Dark jumped back. Then Dark used her magic to shoot a powerful lighting spell at the middle Timberwolf. It didn't miss and the Timberwolf flew back and hit the ground with a thunk, and it didn't get up.

Dark knew she couldn't dodge anymore. That spell took out most of her energy. Dark soon got scratched on the right side of her stomach from the Timberwolf on the right, and Dark fell down.

"Dark!"

Dark could her Twilight scream her name, and then soon Dark blacked out.
