Silver-Chains
Cracks in the glass
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was in my small burrow with Simon and Charles, a another guy from back home playing cards; it was the only way some of us could relax and pass the time instead of sleep. Although it was highly impossible to sleep from all the constant barrage of artillery and gunshots at us. The most dangerous fear upon sleeping would be the gas that would be hurled at us from miles away.
"Okay Thom who do you have eyes set on back home, heh?" Simon asked as he looked at his cards.
"I don't know maybe Jessabell, you know the one with the golden hair" I said casting out a five and a king.
"Wait you mean the daughter of Ol'Nigel that rich cunt, that threatens everyone even if they look at him?" Simon asked pulling out a king and a ten.
"Yeah, why?" I asked leaning forward against the table.
"He won't let you near his daughter if he finds out what you do" Simon joked bursting into laughter like a Lewis gun.
"Besides what makes her want to marry you, didn't you and baby here push her and her father into a mud puddle?" Charles spat shuffling his cards.
"Hey, what gives you the idea!" Simon growled raising a fist.
"Simon you sad willow, you always cried back home. That's why I call you baby" Charles joked with a laugh. I too chuckled only to stop when Simon looked at me.
"Besides, that was along time ago and when we return home we'll get any woman to be our bride cause every woman loves a man in a uniform!" I spoke getting a smirk and a roll of the eyes from them.
"Well then we'll see," he said placing down his pair of kings causing me and Simon to throw our cards on the stool in front of us. Me and Simon pulled out a pack of smokes and handed it to Charles who chuckled under his breath.
Suddenly a rat came scurrying from one side of my burrow to the next. Causing Charles and me to laugh, at Simon's scared face. "What's wrong, scared of a rat?" Charles joked.
"Of course I am, those little wankers are vile as the damn Fritz themselves" Simon exclaimed as Charles lit one of his cigs.
"Bloody hell" I exclaimed looking outside my burrow, It was raining yet again! "God why rain, why not sunshine?" I exclaimed as water started to seep into my burrow.
Then another soldier snuck his head in. "Oy boys, come on out it's our time to push on those Frits!" he yelled before dashing off telling others as he runs down the trench line.
We quickly grabbed our rifles and rushed outside, to get in positions for the march into 'No Man's Land'. We gathered at the trench where ladders rose to the surface, and we waited for the first sign of our march to our death. We heard the pop of cans that withheld smoke that would cover our escape to the surface. The sudden blow of a whistle from our officer caused us to start our descend to 'No Man's Land'.
In the morning Fluttershy woke me for breakfast, before we went to visit Rarity at her boutique. Fluttershy recommend that I get more than just the suit for the Gala, so I could have something more than the clothing that I arrived here with. The idea wasn't a bad one, I could use better clothing than this silk like clothing that has to be cut at the sleeve to remove.
"So what do you want to do, after we go to Rarity's Thomas?" Fluttershy asked, while we were walking in the middle of town. Luckily she is the town's animal care taker, so they don't think of anything else. "Oh... almost forgot, my bad" she said, remembering that I can't talk to her in public when there are others around.
Before arriving at Rarity's we were stopped by Pinkie, who was hopping towards us like she was ball bouncing off the floor. "Fluttershy, Fluttershy, are you ready for the Gala next week?" She said, as she looked up at me and smiled. "Oh are you going to bring Silver, that would be great! Gummy would love to meet him" she excitedly claimed.
'But who is this Gummy, I don't think I have seen that pony or at least met him' "Well, I just need to see Rarity; to see if she can make Silver a suit so he could look presentable at the Gala" Fluttershy explained.
"Oh well have fun, I have to go help Mr. and Mrs. Cake make a wedding cake for somepony up in Canterlot, bye" Pinkie Pie said, before walking away with a smile.
Entering the boutique a little chime went off from the bell that was tied to the door. The boutique was well in order and mannequins of ponies had unique jeweled dresses on them. "Be right there darling" Rarity's voice came from within the back. "Oh, Fluttershy and you brought Silver. What can I do for you?" Rarity inquired, after she exited the back carrying a few fabrics in her magical aura.
"I was wondering if you could make something for Silver, so he would look presentable in front of everypony at the Gala" Fluttershy respond, as Rarity looked me over for a moment; before she started measuring my body.
"I should be able to do it with ease, as long as he stays still" Rarity claimed, as she started removing my clothing with her scissors cutting up my left sleeve.
Removing my clothes from my body, Rarity started stitching fabric together and measuring almost every single inch of my body. I was still uncomfortable being naked in front of these ponies. Especially since Fluttershy now knows about my intelligence, which makes me more embarrassed.
'Now that Fluttershy knows of my intellect, I assume she is trying to be kind and respect my privacy, since I'm now not decent. Rarity must have caught on to this however.
"Tell me Fluttershy, darling. Why are you looking away from Silver?" she asked, staring at her friend. Raising an eyebrow as she looked towards me and before a mental lightbulb went off. "It doesn't have anything to do with Silver being naked does it? Cause if so, I've never knew you had that... fetish" she said, causing both mine and Fluttershy's eyes to widen. 'That was unexpected and I think it might have caught Fluttershy off guard.
"W-what n-no, it's not that at all. It's just that I find it disgusting to look at his... you know" Fluttershy explained, trying to explain while her face was blushing a deep red. 'Nice save, Fluttershy'
Rarity rolled her eyes not really believing that was the reason, yet finding it somewhat acceptable. "Whatever darling. I do ask that after I'm done with Silver's suit, I want you to wear your new Gala gown. Just to make sure it is to your liking, darling"
"Well... okay, that seems fine" Fluttershy responded. My head started feeling heavy, like I was slapped repeatedly in the back of my head by a line of women.
I covered my fore head as the pain started to intensify. It was like nothing I had ever experienced, my whole body felt like it was being set aflame. 'What is causing this pain?' "Silver are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, turning my attention to her worried face. "Silver does your head hurt?" she asked, now hovering up to my face.
Looking at Fluttershy was... unnerving to me, to say the very least. When my eyes locked onto her I felt an unfathomable feeling towards her. It was anger, hatred, fear, joy and many more all at the same time. It made absolute no sense what so ever. I growled in pain, then her eyes widen as my headache worsens. "Rarity I think I should take Silver home, he seems like he's getting sick" she explained,
"I understand darling. I'll see you tomorrow at the spa, I hope Silver feels better" Rarity informed, as Fluttershy led me outside, with my clothing in her wings. After checking to make sure no one was close she turned to me, "Thomas, what's wrong?" she inquired.
"F-Fluttershy, I feel shattered. Everything is setting off my emotions. Fear, anger, hatred and..." I stopped mid sentence, feeling an inextinguishable sinful excitement. "I-I never felt so confused before in my life. Is... it.... hot out here?" I question as her eyes widen, in shock. "W-what is wrong?" I inquired, before noticing the slight red glow that was impacting her complexion.
"T-Thomas, um do human eyes glow on your world?" she inquired. 'Eyes glow?, why would she think that? Wait is my eyes glowing? How is this possible? Damn, where's Light when you need him?'
"Our eyes are not meant to glow, no why?" I stated, which only seemed to worry her more.
"Thomas we need to take you to Twilight, immediately!" Fluttershy cried, as she forcefully pulled me along with her. I wanted to say something but I couldn't; I started to get a cool chill over my spine and my fingers. This bone chilling feeling is the coldest feeling I had ever felt.
"So close to complete control, soon I'll fix this world and then no one will stop me" Crimson told himself pridefully, As he was slowly taking over Thomas's body.
"I wouldn't count Thomas out of the picture just yet, after all he could still find a way to stop you from winning" Light said, as he dangled in the air in chains.
"That vessel pathetic excuse for a human?, Honestly I can get more of a fight from these ponies than he can" Crimson retorted, glaring back at Light as he swayed.
"We will see" Light responded, with a smirk.
Author's Note
Okay first off, sorry it took so long. College, what are gong to do? I had decided that the major rising action pivot that I was going to do in this chapter will be pushed back, becaused I fear that would have to explain more in the chapter than I wanted to originally. However as I was stressing over if I should go through of the original plan or not, a lightbulb turned on and then broke. Once I replaced it an idea came to me, why not ask the viewers?
So my question is this:
Do you want me to continue what I originally had planned although I might either over explain and possibly confuse you?
OR
Would you like me to delay it, and add in some side stories?
For example: Thomas revealing to another member of the mane six or one of the many other things I had planned for side events.
I give you the choice, choose in the comments below.
