All he does is sit in a box, waiting. Waiting for the music box to unwind. He will be free. The soul of the 14 year old boy, Travis, was killed by a man of Purple. He didn't get to live a full life. But one day, he would go back in time. Back to where this man wouldn't be able to run from fate. The slit in his throat was painful, so Travis would make this man's death painful... but for now, he was stuck inside of this box. Just awaiting the time for his vengeance.

"Sunset Shimmer, please come to the office! Thank you!"

It was almost lunch period, Sunset being in detention for the 15th time in a row. She didn't do anything, but she felt that she deserved this.

Trixie 'the great and powerful' came in. "Another detention Sunset?" She said with a smirk on her face. Sunset shrugged her shoulders as she walked out of the library.

"You know that nobody would miss you if you just died Sunset. Why not just take that chance?" Sunset blocked out Trixie, continuing the walk to the principles office. Everybody eyed her as she passed by without saying a word.

'Suicide: a permanent solution to a temporary problem.' She said in her mind, remembering how she tried to kill herself the night of the Fall Formal, only to be stopped by her only friends. Two weeks have passed since then, but Sunset was still miserable. Why? She entered the principles office.

"Yes Ms. Celestia?" A kid was at the desk. His skin was pale and he had markings that looked like tears under his eyes along with blood red cheeks.

"Sunset, I would like you to meet our new student: Travis." He put his hand out to shake her hand. His hand was extremely cold... as if he was lifeless.

"It is nice to meet you, Sunset Shimmer." His eyes creeped her out. He had white pupils along with pitch black eyes. He seemed so... emotionless. It was weird.

"It's nice to meet you Travis." She looked at Principle Celestia.

"Oh, right! I want you to show him around, and introduce him to your friends." She looked at him and back at Celestia.

"B-but don't you think I'm not the girl for the job? Can't Fluttershy do it?" She shook her head.

"Fluttershy is busy with the shelter, but she should be back by lunch."

"What about Rainbow Dash? She's not busy right now!" Celestia eyed her.

"You are currently doing detention right now. This will be it."

"But-"

"You were the only one available Sunset. Now please go before I give you more detention." She sighed as she walked out of the room, Travis following her.

The school bell rang.

"Oh! That means that it's lunch!" She looked at Travis who seemed to be as bored as Hell.

"Are you doing okay Travis?" He nodded.

"Well, why don't we go eat? I can introduce you to some of my friends!" She said with a smile. He nodded once more.

"Not a big talker huh? You'll get comfortable here eventually Travis. Especially with my friends around."

As they were walking to the cafeteria, Sunset heard something.

"Travis? Do you hear that?" He looked around and suddenly remembered! Sunset watched as he rushed to get his backpack off and pull something out. It was a music box.

"What is that?" She stared at it as he wound it up.

"This is my music box. I have to keep it wound up, or bad things are gonna happen." He said, pointing to the mask on the side of his head.

"What types of things?" She said with confusion in her eyes.

He looked down, signaling that he didn't want to talk about it.

"We can talk about it later Travis. Let's go meet my friends." And they walked into the cafeteria.

As they sat down, Sunset's friends grew excited.

"Guys, I would I like you to meet Travis. He's new, so we're going to hang out with him." She said smiling at Travis. He had other priorities.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you... and your friends, but I have a few things to straighten before I can 'hang out'." She looked at him in confusion.

"What do you need to do Travis?" Her friends looked at him too, wondering what he needed to do. Applejack was watching his every move.

"I need to use the restroom." He simply stated. He walked off, eyeing everyone in the cafeteria while walking. He found a student completely dress in purple and tapped his shoulder.

"I need to have a word with you." He motioned his hand, telling the student to follow him, and the student fell for the bait.

"He was lyin'! I can tell when someone lies, and I promise you that he was lyin'!" Applejack was onto Travis, and she figured that he went to do something.

"She does have a point Sunset. He could've gone somewhere else. That might be why he was acting so strange!" Rainbow Dash pointed out. Sunset looked around the table, everyone staring at her.

"He can't be lying! He's such a nice boy!" Pinkie Pie jumped in.

"How many times have you seen him smile today Sunset?" She looked at Pinkie in the eyes.

"None..." Rarity spoke up.

"It's okay darling. Let's just go check on him. It couldn't hurt, can it?" Fluttershy remained silent.

"It couldn't hurt to check on him...." They left the cafeteria, seeing that Travis was strangling a student.

"Travis??!? What are you doing?!?"
