Gotta Be Me

Partying. She was so against it and her sister had too much to drink, making the car sway through the empty wilderness. The two was invited to her sister's friends birthday and being under age she only had juice while her sister had glasses of glasses of wine and beer somethings even mixed together. Then car started to drift off the road.

"Hey!" She slapped her sister's shoulder. "We should have stayed at Fancy's, Sugar."

"Shut up... Grace. I think we should have stayed at Fancy Pants's place."

"That's what I just said!"

"No you didn't... Shut up..." Sugar said as the car started to drift off the road.

"Fuck sake, Sugar!" Grace shouted. "Drive normally!"

Sugar didn't do as Grace said she started driving on the other side of the road. It was midnight and the view head was cut off by a wall of thick dark fog. Making it hard to see a head, hard to make out that a car was coming on the same side as the girls. The headlights was speeding towards them and before there was any time to react they felt the colossal impact. Tire screeches and a barring horn scream in Grace's ear. She felt her body slammed against the seat-belt and the shattering glass sliced her face and arms. Sugar had her head smacked on the steering wheel and seat-belt unfastened sending her through the window.

After 5 minutes the ambulance's came and Grace was still covered in glass just then the car exploded in flames. Unable to unfasten her seat-belt the flames became larger and hotter. Then the door was opened and she was pulled out by magic, a white unicorn got a hold of her and pulled her away. Getting her to the side she spoke.

"Are you okay?"

"What happened?"

"My friend Neon was driving us to Canterlot when he spotted headlights he tried to miss you, but crashed into you."

"Sugar!" She shouted as the paramedics pulled two body bags away into the back of the ambulance. As another woman walked over.

"The drivers are dead, Vinyl."

"Oh Octavia...." Vinyl began to cry just then Octavia noticed Grace.

"Um... Are you okay?"

"Sugar." She couldn't process the words.

"We have to go home. We can't adopt the child now." Octavia said as Vinyl nodded.

Then a police officer walked over. "May I ask some questions?"

"Go a head." Vinyl said as he smiled.

"I need your names please."

"I'm Vinyl Scratch."

He wrote her name down.

"Octavia Melody."

He did the same and turned to Grace.

"Um.... G-Grace... S-S-Snake." She said trying not to cry.

"Thank you.... One more question Grace." He said looking down at his clipboard.

"Yeah.."

"How are your family all Earth Ponies yet you're a Pegasus?"

"I-I don't know."

"Okay then I've called the person that runs. Forgiven Shack."

"No no no." Grace said. "I'm not going into the orphanage."

"You have no other family members."

Tears filled her eyes. "Please..."

Octavia and Vinyl looked at each other then Octavia spoke. "We can take her."

"Can you?" The officer asked as Octavia took some papers out of her bag.

"This seems to check out... Okay then." Then a car pulled up.

"Where's the girl." The older woman asked as the officer handed the papers over.

"Let's see... Good job... Good wage..... Right this seems to check out fine. I here hand the responsibility of looking after Grace Snake to you. Her stuff will be sorted out and sent to you." She left as Grace hugged the two.

"Thanks so much." Tears were in her eyes.

"No problem."

                                                                                               A Year Later

"Come on, Grace!" Octavia shouted as Vinyl quickly poked her head in.

"She's here."

Grace then quickly ran downstairs. "Do I really need to re-take College?"

"Yes, Grace. Last year you really banged your head and... ask stupid questions which you should know." Octavia said.

"I don't do that."

Vinyl leaned back in. "Okay ask a question you really want to know."

"Alright. Um.. Oh. What happens when you get 'half scared to death' twice?..."

The two lovers face palmed. Grace grabbed her bag. "At least It's College."

"Just go."

Grace ran out of the house and straight into someone. They turned into a human ball and rolled about 3 feet. Unraveling Grace started to laugh.

"Sorry um.."

"F-F-Fluttershy. Vinyl asked me to... Walk you to.."

"Yeah, Yeah lets go."

...

Arriving into the classroom, the walls had signs on that say's Wet Paint.

"Okay no one touch the walls." The teacher said just then someone did.

"Hyde I told you not to."

"Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?" Grace asked as the teacher chuckled.

"You must be Grace." He said as she nodded.

"How did you know?"

"The question and your left ear."

Grace raised her hand to her ear then smiled. "The 4 piercings."

"Before we start does anyone have any questions about war?" The teacher asked just then Grace put her hand up. He pointed over.

"Why do we teach kids that violence is not the answer and then have them read about wars in school that solved America's problems?"

People in the class started to laugh. "Moving on!"

...

"So, Grace. How was the first day?" Octavia asked.

Grace stared at her food. "It was fine, I guess."

"Grace is there something the matter?" She asked again.

"Collage was fine, alright!" Grace said with attitude.

Octavia turned to Vinyl. She wasn't paying attention, until she spotted Grace's wing.

"What happened to your wing?" Vinyl asked using her magic to get a better view.

Grace hesitated and snapped her wing back in. "Let go!"

Vinyl lifted her glasses off. "Grace where is this attitude coming from?"

"Just shut up!" She slammed her fist against the table making it snap in half. She got up and ran upstairs into her room, slamming the door behind her making it bent so unable to open.

"Somethings up." Octavia said.

Vinyl nodded in agreement. "Maybe we should talk to her College teacher."

...

"Grace Snake!" He hid behind his chair. "Where?!"

"No no no. We're her parents and wanting to know what happened today." Octavia said.

"She... Destroyed the desks then um... Tried to kill someone."

"What!" Vinyl shouted.

"Yep." He said. "He burnt her left wing leaving just a layer of skin. That started the fight."

"What's the boy's name?" Vinyl asked.

"Hyde Sparkle... Princess Twilight's son."

"Fuck!" Vinyl shouted.

"Language dear." Octavia said. "We'll go down now."

The teacher handed her a photo. "Here's a photo of her wing."

"Thanks."

...

Knock, Knock."

The castle door swung open and stood there was Twilight.

"Hello."

"Mind if we come in? It's about Hyde." Octavia asked as she nodded.

They walked into the living room and sat down. "So what about Hyde?"

"Well Princess did you hear about what happened today?" Octavia asked as she shook her head.

"No what happened?"

"Well something must have upset Grace that made her almost kill him..."

"Kill him?!" Twilight said as Octavia nodded.

"Cut it short, he burnt her wing!" Vinyl shouted showing her the picture.

Then the doors burst open. "Twilight! Hyde's dead!" Spike shouted.

...

And there he was. Was he dead? He couldn't be. He had to be alive. He had to be. How could he ever possibly die? Unless. . .

Unless he was murdered. Which he couldn't have. But the blood. There was blood all over. Of course he was murdered. Of course! Who would murder him? Why? No. No one would murder him. No one did. There would be a weapon. There would be a reason. It was all just a horrible dream. At any moment Twilight would wake up. Wake up from this nightmare.  But her son was sitting there. Blood all over his hands. There wasn't a reason or a weapon, but a person. It wasn't a dream. This was real.

Someone had closed his eyes. The horrified expression was now gone from Hyde's face. He looked to be a sleep now. Twilight could have believed it if not for all of the blood. How can so much blood come from one body? The holes in his skin told of a messy end. After the second hit he was already dead. That's what a single blow to the head would have done. The other 13 had been pointless. The scene spoke of rage and hate. The body had been abandoned on the cold white floor now stained with red which was turning black as it was cooling down. He died in his bedroom's bathroom.

"Hyde!" Twilight began to cry.

Vinyl looked at Octavia; who was trying not to vomit. "Tavi, are you okay?"

"So... So brutal." Octavia said.

"Spike!" Twilight shouted as he ran in.

"Yes Twilight."

"Call the police, then Flash... and was he here when you found him?"

"On it, Alright and yes, I heard a window smash and ran in to see this."

Police arrived in mere seconds same with Flash. Vinyl and Octavia looked at each other.

"What if Grace did this... To finish off the job?" Vinyl asked.

"She's 18. Clearly she couldn't have." Octavia said.

"He's dead Flash! Dead!" Twilight cried sobbing into his chest.

"We'll slip out and talk to her." Octavia said as Vinyl dragged her out.

...

"Grace! Grace! You better get out of there!" Octavia shouted trying to open the door.

It won't budge.

"Grace!" Octavia shouted.

Vinyl used her magic and broke the door. Inside was Grace sound asleep, she awoke only to notice she had strange patterns on her walls.

"Wha... What are they?" Vinyl asked.

"I... I don't know!" Grace replied.

Grace raced out the window she had broke and was gone in a flash.

"Grace! Get back here! She could be anywhere now and nether of us can fly" Vinyl said.

Octavia slaps Vinyl.

"Well, Vinyl your not exactly the goddess of tracking and you couldn't find her if she was right in front of you." Octavia said as Vinyl started to laugh then later joined by Octavia.

"Okay lets go find her." Vinyl replies.

Berry Punch stayed up late. Left her kids to put themselves to bed. She had drunken more then enough and sat at the end of her bed with another cocktail in hand as the clock struck twelve she looks up confused as to where the time had gone. A cold breath of air pushed past her hair followed by a whisper.

"Berry Punch"

Turning around to see if anyone was behind her. No one. Unable to see who it was she returned to her drink to see a dark shadow, Berry shrugged as she had finished her drink, she looked around to see a bottle. It was laying to the side. Leaning over to grab it she felt someone tug on her hair, pulling her down onto her back having a clear view of rather large breasts.

Berry smiled seductively as the shadow pulled her to the edge of the bed, her head hanging over. It brought a sharp, rusty metal object to her throat pushing it down as it slowly piercing the outer layer of the skin.

"Who are you?"

The only answered was heavy breathing, which scared her as one push made the blade cut through braking veins and cutting through the bone blood drained as the shadow pulled her hair detaching the few strands of skin. Leaving the blood to pour out of her it left leaving something behind. Clues!

...

Grace woke up unaware that she was in her room. Octavia leaned in.

"Morning sweetie. Vinyl's made pancakes."

"Thanks mum." Grace said as she left.

Getting up she was drenched in blood and loud sirens was coming outside so she did what anyone else would do. Looked outside. A black body bag pulled out of the house.

"Grace!"

"Coming!"

She ran downstairs. "Morning sleepy head." Vinyl greeted her.

"Hiya."

"Applejack has asked to have this delivered to her... Can you?"

"Sure." She grabs it and left also taking something along with her.

...

"This is detention. Saturday detention!" Cherliee shouted at the two girls sat at the front.

"We know miss." Diamond said.

"Shut it!" Cherliee said as they did.

Walking past the school Grace spotted the two girls and smiled as she did not see Cherliee.

"So why are we even here?" Silver asked.

"I don't know..."

Blood splatted across the ground. Flowing from Diamond, Silver screamed as Cherliee turned around.

"Diamond?!" The same happened to Silver. Blood exploded onto Cherliee as Grace jumped through the window. Placing her hands onto the dead girl's heads and pulled the hatchets out.

"Little one's must have been tired."

She slowly licked the blood that had cascaded down onto her hand, Grace quivered in excitement. Cherliee tried to run as she sliced her head using both hatchets, she caught her head and tossed it to the side.

"Easy."

...

"Thank Celestia for that." Applejack said as Grace handed the package.

Applejack noticed the blood on Grace's hand. Then Mac ran out whispering something into her then running away.

"Berry punch is dead?!" Applejack said. "Sorry Grace, but I need to go."

"It's okay... See you soon."

Grace left as the mayor spotted her. "You!"

Being stopped by the mayor is not a good thing. "Hiya..."

She slapped her. "I know you killed them people."

Grace smiled. "So you know the truth!" She grabbed both of her hatchets and swung at her, but the mayor jumped back. This continued to happen and Grace was switching from left to right hand. Eventually catching to mayor's face making a deep cut and blood to splash on Grace's face she dashes and strikes at the wall escaping to Ponyville center.

Everyone gathers as Twilight orders for her friends and the mayor only to see the fight, the Mayor trips Grace and kicks her in the face Grace then grabs the mayor by the hair and smashes her into the Ponyville Town hall.

"I'll kill you like all the others"  she screams.

"What in Equestria do you mean!" she rhetorically asks as she body slams Grace she grabs her by her back legs and smashes her full body threw a brick wall weakening her every second.

"Hyde, Berry, Diamond, Silver, Cherliee and now YOU!" Grace expressed while swinging the hatchet side to side missing each time the mayor then grabs a brick and smashes Graces face in.

"NEVER!" The Mayor cries and flees allowing the mane six to deal with it.

"You're the one who killed Hyde... Why, what did he do to you?! What would you do if I killed a member of your family." Twilight screams as Grace whimpers away in tears only noticed by Fluttershy and Rarity.

...

"What is it sister?!" Luna said running into the throne room.

"The guards have found a badly injured mare. I'm unable to help her, but you should be able to." Celestia said as she showed her to the room where she is.

"Oh my, sister..."

Luna had hopes that it wasn't bad, but she was wrong. Celestia nodded.

"Who had found her outside?" Luna asked.

"One of the guards had.. I can't remember. " Celestia said.

Luna sighed. "Are you sure... Is that blood?"

"Yes I'm sorry to brake that to you." Celestia said.

Luna had trouble thinking of what to do. "What are you doing, Celestia?"

"I''m ruling over Equestira of course."

Celestia left. Luna walked over to the hurt mare and placed her hand on her. "Are you okay?"

She shifted and groaned. "I want you to come closer."

Luna did as she said. "Do you need anything?"

"I want you to shut up and give me your neck."

"What?..." Grace lifted her head up and slowly placed her mouth on her neck and make 4 small insertions.

Suddenly the doors burst open stood behind the door is Fluttershy and Rarity.

"Stop this!" Rarity shouted as the door's closed behind her.

"Why!" Grace shouted removing her grip on Luna but pulled her hair back.

"I know what you.... have been through.." Fluttershy said.

"You couldn't have!" Grace shouted.

"I have same, with Rarity... You're not the only one you know."

"But, but.. Grace started to have trouble speaking. The grip on Luna's hair loosed.

"Please let go of Princess Luna." Rarity asked as tears filled in her eyes.

"We're going out together!" Grace shouted as she snapped her eyes shut while pulling her hair once again. "Your not going to stop me!"

"Maybe I can change your mind." Luna said as Grace looked at her.

"What do you mean?" Grace asked.

Luna's horn glowed as the blood, bruising and any other damage was fixed. Luna smiled.

"You know you really do look gorgeous without blood and other stuff on you." Grace blushed a flow of rosy pink covered her checks.

Then Luna turned around pressing lips with Grace. Kissing the girl who was threatening to kill her, only to change her mind. Grace couldn’t help feeling the adrenaline of her heart when Luna made the first move. She felt so protective and secure in her presents, that the princess of the night helt her dearly. The scenery was so exquisite, that it left Grace breathless. She was eighteen, and Luna was Twenty, there was hardly any difference between them only by 2 years; but when she leaned down to Grace's ear and recited one of the most romantic poems, She couldn’t help the blush and the sound of her heart pounding inside her chest, to hide the fact that she was falling head over heals for this Luna. She was Grace's salt, and she was Luna's pepper.

She looked into Grace's eyes, their heads were the same level. Her eyes were the color of a calm blue. They emphasized on the freshness her appearance gave to her beauty. From the pressure of her hands, Grace could tell she was as nervous as she was. Especially when she leaned in, so close. Her lips reached Grace's jaw, tracing the lines of her ear to her collarbone. Grace couldn’t stop her heart from pounding in her chest. Her blood flowed rapidly in her cheeks, making her face as red as ever. Grace lifted her hands out of Luna's, and pulled them up high to her shoulders, where Grace entwined them with her flowing midnight hair. She put her hands down at Grace's waist while pulling her closer to her chest. Then their lips connected

At first it was gentle, like Luna was afraid to hurt Grace, but as soon as she began kissing her back Luna responded by pushing her against the wall that was behind them, and kissed her with so much passion that Grace saw stars. She felt Luna's tongue run across her bottom lip and Grace opened her mouth to let their tongues explore each others mouths. She ran her fingers through Grace's hair and pulled her closer, Luna departed the kiss completely so they could catch a breath.

"Wow, what was that for?" Grace breathed, and Luna put her hand to her tingling mouth.

"I wanted to change your mind."

Grace smiled as tears began to fill her eyes, looking down she spoke. "I-I-I didn't want to kill.... I wanted to be loved."

"You can." Fluttershy said as Rarity nodded.

"Tell you what... I'll change the jail sentence to Princess service." Luna said as Grace nuzzled herself into Luna's chest while nodding.
