Ambush

“D…Dad?” she asked “I…is that you?” The figure nodded as he walked over to her ‘mother’, he placed his hooves around her neck and pulled her into a hug,

“Thank you for taking care of my daughter” He said and then turned to face Galaxy who was sat on the floor with a look of confusion.

“Listen, Nebula, I know this may be a lot for you to understand but you need to come with me. We’ve tried to keep your whereabouts unknown but  you are in danger, it is of utmost importance that we move you to a different location…” He continued speaking about where to and why but Galaxy wasn’t listening, she had heard enough, she was more focused on what he had called her ‘Nebula’ Why would he call her that? Her name was Galaxy Sketch, or was that a lie too?

“… So lets get going shall we?”

“Wait, Why did you call me Nebula, my name is Galaxy Sketch” She replied

“What? No, your real name is Nebula Nightfire, we gave you that name to hide your identity, princesses orders.”

“PRINCESSES?! Why would they want to protect me? Im just an ordinary Filly”

“Your one of Equestrias most important pegasi now we must be going, were alre-“ He was cut off before he could continue, a larg black creature broke through one of the clod walls of the house.

“What are those things? Why are they here?” Nebula asked in a shocked tone

“These are Puppets, there here to take you to Lady Leora, I’ll tell you more later but for now just, fly!” Came her fathers response ad he pushed her and the other mare out of the house.

“Mom! Help!” A scared cry echoes through the halls, her brother was in his room which was now being engulfed by a horde of Puppets.

Hiding

“Starstorm!” The mare shrieked as she struggled to escape the fathers grasp.

“You two go on ahead, I’ll create a diversion and grab him.” He said. Nebula and her ‘mother’ ran as fast as they could and managed to make it to the edge of a cloud just as a Puppet landed in front of them. Its eyes were sewn shut, its legs, mane, tail, horns, wings and ears were also sewn into place, their coats were black and their mane a dark grey. From a distance these beings looked harmless but you can only see the true horror when you come face to face with one.

“Aaahhh!” The mare screamed and ran backwards into the wall of Puppets that were chasing them

“Mom, no! Don’t!” Nebula cried but it was too late, the Puppets had pounced on the mare and began tearing her limbs from her body. Nebula watched in horror as she saw the light in her ‘mothers’ eyes fade, her screams pierced the atmosphere, the person she one looked up to was now being torn limb-from-limb by merciless creatures.

“No! No no no no no no!” Nebula screamed as she too began to run into the group of Puppets. But before she could her father landing shortly after.

“You must continue, hurry!” Her father yelled above the ominous sound of tearing flesh and dying screams. Nebula tried to push past him but his strength was too great and she gave up trying when she had finally seen enough of her ‘mother’ being mercilessly consumed. She turned around and flew with her brother and father into the Everfree forest. They walked for some time until they came across a tiny wooden hut with masks and candles displayed around the entrance.

“Why are we here?” Nebula questioned.

“Because there is somepony who can shelter us for a while, this should give us enough time for you to prepare to meet your real mother…”

Confusion

Our tale starts in the peaceful village of Cloudsdale. In a small house in which a grey pegasus with blonde hair and black highlights lay in her bed, asleep. “Hey Doofus! Breakfast is ready downstairs, oh and mom wanted to speak to you about something, she sounded real serious” somepony shouted from outside the pegasi’s door. The grey pony sat up and rubbed her eyes,

“Thanks for the wakeup call dorkazoid!” she shouted in reply. She placed a scarf around her neck and trotted down to the kitchen table where a smaller orange pegasus and a plate of pancakes were sat.

“Galaxy, after breakfast I want to speak to you…” she “It’s about your father…” Both pegasi dropped their forks, her eyes shifted, something wasn’t right.

“I’ve lost my appetite.” the younger pegasi said as he walked out of the room “Wheres my PPad?”  The mother let out a sigh and proceeded to walk over to Galaxy.

“Your PPad is on the stairs Starstorm"

“So? What’s wrong?” She asked

“Well you see, there’s something you need to know about your father, and me…” She replied, her eyes filling up with tears as she said the last part.

“M…Mom? What do I need to know?” Her voice now full of concern “Is he ok?”

“Yes my dear, but…but” The female Pegasus dropped to her knees and wept “Im a…afraid I’m n…not…I’m n…not”

  “M…Mom! Are you ok!? Your not what?! What aren’t you?!” Galaxy became frantic in her attempts to calm her mother but found herself welling up with tears.

“Im n…not your r…real mother” She managed to get out between deep breaths and wails. Galaxy froze, her eyes widened as she began to process what her mother had just said, ‘not your real mother.’ Echoed in her mind. Galaxy stared in shock and disbelief, after all this time, the person she looked up to and saw as her mother, wasn’t real? She couldn’t believe it, she didn’t! After all why wouldn’t she be her mother?

“What?” Was all she managed to get out before a hoof was placed on her shoulder, she turned around to see who it was, since both of her mothers’ hooves were over her eyes. Her father…
