Twisted in Time

"This is a tale, not for the feign of heart. It gets gruesome, but I'll share that part later, what you'll need to know is how this started. Now, on to the story, when I was a filly..."

12 years earlier

"Hey, Mystic. How did you do on the assignment?" A gray unicorn asked.

"It was easy, did it in 10 minutes! What about yourself?" Mystic, a purple Unicorn with a purple mane, asked.

"That fast? Oh... I didn't figure out the answer to number 4..."

"That's easy, Techno. The missing symbol is 'a' " Mystic said

"O-oh... T-That was a dumb mistake..." Techno said

"Techno! Don't let it get to you! You're really great at what you do, Friend!" Mystic practically shouting

"Okay, dinner time, you two," Techno's mother told the two

"I see you two got all your work done again, good job, you two," A gray bat pony told the two.

"Thanks, dad," Techno said as they started to eat.

I was a year ahead of Techno, but we've been friends since he's been born. Our mothers are friends of each other.

Oh, and I know readers like to find some hidden gems in the stories, so I'll give you all one. I told you the race of Techno's father because it will be critical soon in the story, but flat out said later. Anyways, on to the next day.

The following day

The day was a normal day, Techno and Mystic got up and went to school. Not much happened on the day. After they got done with their homework, they went to play games.

"So close... I almost have you..!" Mystic says

After a little bit, "Aw...so close..." Techno sounds a little down.

"I'm glad you could come over to my house, Techno," Mystic said delightedly.

"Yeah, but it's getting late, and you know how my mom gets," Techno starts to walk out, "Again tomorrow?"

"I can do that!" Mystic replies back.

At the time, Techno's mother was pregnant. Was expecting another colt at the time. I don't know much of what happened, just the aftermath of it. Seeing as I was only 5 around that time. We'll go to that moment.

Few months later

Techno's came to live with my family for a week leading up to the day. When he got home, he overheard what they plan to do with the new foal. They wanted to send him to their sister's, as they don't think they can handle two colts. The newborn was called Grove.

"Hey, mom, what's happening to my brother?" Techno asked.

"He's going to your aunt's and call him your cousin, okay dear?" His mother asked in a polite tone.

"Okay, mom!" Techno trying to make point of what she said.

Grove was moved with the Flame's and their one son, Tree Flame. Tree Flame was only 2 at the time. Here's something that worked almost too well. Tree Flame is a green Pegasus with red, yellow, and orange mane and tail. Grove looked exactly like him but was a unicorn instead.

Tree's parents were police, as Canterlot is a potentially dangerous place, and they do a great job.

"Thanks for taking care of him, sis," Techno's mother said.

"Tree Flame can now have a sibling, as we can't have any more," Tree's mother said.

"Tree looks so cute," Techno's mother said as the Pegasus smiled.

"Techno looks just as lovely," Tree's mother said.

They just chat with each other for a bit as the three children played. I was at home, doing homework. Then I walked outside and ran across a certain pony. She is a red bat pony, with a purple and blue mane. Techno and I see her all the time in class. It wasn't for a whole year until we confronted her, and that was a critical moment for her.
