Chapters Equestria Girls: Shattered Mind
Do you ever get the feeling that you did something terrible to everybody in your school and you can't remember? I thought to myself as sat down at my desk.I looked around only to be met by all of my classmates looking away giving me the cold shoulder and laughter by the school meat heads.
"Hey Punk have you committed any crimes lately?" A kid with blue skin, buck teeth and orange hair asked from the back.
"Now Snips that's not appropriate." Ms. Cheerilee raised her voice.
This was my new life I thought to myself as I felt the mask on my mouth. It wasn't too big, it was like the ones that doctors usually wear. I was told I couldn't show my face because it may make people uneasy. Yeah right. Like the secret life I apparently lived didn't scare the crap out of them enough. I thought to myself as I began twirling my mechanical pencil in my hand as I looked out the window.
"Hello" Someone said.
I mean why can't people just forget the terrible past life I apparently lived. I thought as I rubbed my head only to feel the scar that was in the shape of an X right between my eyebrows. I supposedly got this when I lost my memory.
"Are you listening?" Ms. Cheerliee asked as she tapped my desk.
"Huh what?" I said as I snapped back to reality.
"We're taking role." She replied.
"Oh sorry." I said as I looked down embarrassed as the others chuckled.
"Continue Silver Spoon." Ms. Cheerilee said as she pinched the brow of her nose.
"And of course the last and least Skull Punk." Silver Spoon said in the stupid way Diamond Tiara and her speak sometimes.
"Here." I said as I looked back out the window. I heard the other kids laugh.
Wouldn't you like to just kill them all?... A quiet and raspy voice in my head asked.
I jumped and ended up knocking my book off my desk as it slapped the floor startling everyone.
"Are you okay?" Ms. Cheerilee asked.
"Yeah I'm fine... Just thought I heard something." I say as I gave a nervous little laugh.
"Oh great now he's delusional." Said Shoulder Pad, the schools dumb jock.
"I think the one that would be the most delusional in this school would be you. Especially with how many times you get knocked over." I snapped back causing everyone to gasp.
"You got something to say?" He said as he stood up trying to get a rise out of the others as he tried to assert his dominance.
"I could say something, but a neanderthal like you would probably think I'm speaking a foreign language." I said as I looked away back out the window.
Then within minutes I felt someone slam their hands down on my desk only to look over to have him glaring at me; with his stupid red mohawk haircut and his hysterically pink skin which he tried to act cool by covering with a football sports coat.
"What did you just say?!" He screamed sending spit everywhere.
"Dude I don't want to have anyone mad at me so just go sit back down we don't need to make a scene." I said trying to calm him down in order to defuse the tension. I would soon regret this comment as I was met by a strong left hook to my jaw. It felt like someone hit me with a brick.
"No we're going to settle this once and for all! You've gotta pay for what you did to everyone!" Shoulder Pad yelled as the others gasped.
"What the hell do you mean?" I asked as I rubbed my jaw only to see him getting angrier.
"You know what I'm talking about! Don't try to deny it!" He yelled as he hit me in the back of my head causing my ears to ring very badly.
"Now Shoulder Pad calm down and get your behind back in your seat!" Ms. Cheerilee pleaded.
"No he needs to learn a lesson!" He yelled back as he got ready to punch me again.
Just stop I don't know what you're talking about! I thought to myself.
Are you gonna sit there and take that? The raspy voice asked as time seemingly stopped.
Who are you and why are you in my head? I questioned as I saw nothing but shadows envelop me.
You honestly don't remember us? A second deeper voice asked as I saw four glowing orbs float in front of me.
Who are you? ! I screamed in my head as two large mouths with giant white teeth that looked as sharp as daggers as they laughed.
Then as quickly as it began I was sitting back in my desk with time still slowed down.
I should just let him take out his rage on me... I thought to myself.
Now don't go giving up so easily. A voice said.
But he is just trying to let out his anger. I know it's going to hurt, but I am supposedly the cause of this pain or something. I said as I started feeling like I deserved the ass kicking coming my way.
He doesn't have any right. You should be able to knock him down off of his soap box and tell him what for. The voice responded.
Really? I don't like being violent, but I'm sick and tired of them picking on me. I said as I looked down towards my feet.
It's self defense at this point and a little bit of violence never did anyone really any bad. Especially when they're being bullied. Just stand up for yourself and show them you mean business. The voice replied.
You're right. I thought to myself as time began returning to normal.
I could feel the uppercut ripping through the air towards my throat. Then in one solid swift movement I grabbed his fist and gripped it tight.
"What the hell?!" He yelled as his fist was stopped dead in it's tracks.
"I've had enough..." I quietly said as I stood up still clenching his fist causing all the color to drain from his face.
"What do you mean you waste of space?" He said as he tried desperately to pull it away.
"No more bullying." I said as I clenched tighter causing his bones to pop.
"Hey man you better stop right now or else." Shoulder Pad began.
"No more blaming me for something I don't remember." I said as I gripped even harder causing some of his fingers to turn white.
"Guys can you help." He pleaded to the other jocks in the room who were all standing there looking dumbfounded like the others.
"NO MORE BULLSHIT!" I yelled as I closed my hand as closed as possible causing his entire hand to become deformed as i could hear the snapping of bones and the joints being separated.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" He screamed as his entire hand broke in one single grasp. The other kids in the crowd became totally silent as I grabbed him by the front of his shirt and held him up in the air.
"Let me make myself perfectly clear you idiot. Spread the word that I'm tired of being the schools punching bag and also... Never. Try. To. Bully. Me. Again." I demanded as I brought him close to my face only to see the look of pure fear in his eyes.
"O-okay." He said as I heard something start dripping. I looked down only to see a puddle of yellow liquid forming under him.
"What a baby. He can stay in the kitchen, but can't take the heat." I said as I sat him down on a desk.
"Uh Skull..." Ms. Cheerilee said as I grabbed my things and started walking towards the door.
"I know. I know. I'm going home for the day and please tell Principle Celestia that he started it. I did not want to hurt him at all." I said as I walked out the classroom shutting the door behind me as I headed home.
Equestria Girls: Shattered Mind
"I can't do this anymore! Living with someone who I don't even know who they truly are. " A woman said on tv.
*click*
"He's a monster. Nothing more, nothing less. " A male voice said.
*click*
"Thank you for joining us on the six o'clock news. I'm your anchor Roman Styles. " A dark red man said as he sat at a desk dressed up holding a stack of papers.
"Ugh might as well.." I said to myself as I laid down on the couch in my living room.
"There was a fire in the downtown area around noon on the corner of Fifth and Mane avenue right in front of the local hospital. Many citizens are concerned that there could be a arsonist among us. We now go to Penn Stroke who is live on the scene. Penn? " Roman began.
"Thanks Roman. Many citizens were thrown into a frenzy today as a fire randomly started in front of the hospital downtown, but there was no one in site who could've done it. We decided to talk to those who were working in the area at the time and get their thoughts. " Penn Stroke said as she brushed her dark blue hair out of her face.
"I didn't see anything. I was talking with some of the other nurses at the check in counter when all of a sudden the trash cans outside burst into flames. We called the fire department and tried to put it out with our fire extinguisher, but it didn't work. The only odd thing about the flames is that they weren't like a normal fire, but they were black and silver. " Nurse Red Cross commented to the reporter.
"Do you have any suspicions on who committed this atrocious crime? " Penn Stroke asked.
"Oh lord I know where this is going." I sighed. The thing is because whatever I did during the time I can't remember everything that happens in town seemingly gets put onto me and I get blamed... I don't even remember the names of anyone on the street who I apparently used to know. Now everyone just looks at me with anger and disgust.
"Well there's only two people who come to mind when I think about it. " Nurse Red Cross said as she rubbed her chin.
"Here it comes." I said as I closed my eyes.
"That boy named Skull Punk or his alleged partner. " She said with such a high belief in her words being true.
"Sorry that's the wrong answer I have been home all day and I don't even know how to make black and Silver flames." I said as I turned off the tv and stuffed my face into the cushions of the couch.
"Oh come on I was watching that." A female voice said right above me.
"AAAHHH!" I screamed as I rolled off the couch and onto the hardwood floor hitting my head with a loud thud.
"Are you okay?" Another voice asked.
"Yes I'm okay. Thanks Octavia." I said as I sat back up and saw the black haired girl looking at me with concern from the doorway connecting the kitchen to the living room.
"Hehe." I heard the first girl laugh from behind the couch.
I quietly and quickly got up and leaned over the couch and lightly smacked the first girl on the top of her head. "Here's a little gift for ya sis!" I yelled after I smacked her head. "And these are for me." I chuckled as I took her glasses and put them on.
"Ow that hurt.. Hey give me back my glasses!" My sister yelled as she jumped over the couch and started chasing me.
"Hell no you got what you deserve and I took a little souvenir." I said as I ran and stood behind Octavia looking out from her sides like little kids do.
"Give them back!" My sister screamed as she chased around me.
"Ugh you two are giving me a headache." Octavia said pinching the brow of her nose as we ran around the house. "STOP!!!" She yelled as her patience snapped. We both stopped on the spot and looked at her with scared looks on our faces.
"Yes ma'am." My sister and I said in unison as we stopped.
"Skull give her back her glasses." Octavia said with a stern look in her eyes. I didn't argue as I quickly handed my sister back her glasses.
"And you need to apologize for scaring the daylights out of him." Octavia said as she turned to my sister.
"Oh come on Octi it as just a bit of fun." My sister said nervously as she put her glasses back on.
"Vinyl!" Octavia said as she started walking towards my sister.
"Okay Okay! I'm sorry bro!" Vinyl said as she bowed her head towards me. I couldn't see her face all I saw was dark and light blue hair, but I'm sure she was petrified.
"Better." Octavia giggled.
A couple hours passed of me explaining what happened at school today and dealing with the lecture Octavia gave me. That's how it was around the house now. Vinyl was my loving sister who loved to torment and get in trouble with me, Octavia was Vinyl's roommate and decided to live with our family ever since she turned 18 and she's become like a sister to me, my parents were hardly ever home they are always working according to Vinyl who talks with them frequently. I have tried numerous times to see them or greet them when they get home only to stay up all night not hearing a peep or seeing them at all. Then there was me... The good for nothing of the family, the accursed black sheep who causes trouble everywhere he walks and has to wear a damn mask every time he goes out in public because he has to hide the skeletal mouth birthmark on his face. Trust me it is extremely interesting because there is nothing better than having someone walk up to you to talk to you and when you turn around they run away because they are immediately scared off by your birthmark which makes it look like you are missing all of the skin and muscle around that area.
*Vrmm Vrmm* Vinyl's phone rang.
"Hello?" She answered. She nodded and listened to whoever was on the other line very closely.
"Understood." She said as she hung up the phone.
"What was that about?" I asked as I raised my eyebrow.
"We're going on a trip to the jail." Vinyl said as she stood up grabbed her jacket and keys and beckoned us to get our jackets.
"Why are we going there?" I asked as I put my jacket on.
"They need your help with something bro." She answered causing both Octavia and I to stand there for a couple minutes with our mouths agape. I think we had them open for different reasons, but I brushed this feeling to the side as I picked my jaw up off the floor.
"Why me?" I said in a nervous tone.
"Trust me it'll all be explained when we get there." Vinyl said as we headed to her car.
After about an hour of nothing but unruly roads and sharp turns in the middle of the evening we arrived at our destination.
There it was. Canterlot Maximum Security Prison. I got an uneasy feeling in my stomach as we drove in the gate while I put my mask on.
"Are you sure they want to do this so soon?" Octavia asked as we parked and armed guards began walking towards us holding assault rifles in their hands.
"You know they're desperate and apparently 'She' has been asking for him nonstop and claimed talking and getting to see him was the only way she would start talking." Vinyl said as we all got out of the car. She nodded to the guards and they nodded back.
"You three follow me and don't talk to anyone on the inside unless instructed. Understood?" A bulky guard said in a deep voice as he stared at me making me feel like he was picking my very soul apart.
"Y-yes sir." I stammered out as we began walking inside.
After about fifteen minutes of nothing but silence from us and screaming from those locked up in the prison we arrived to an elevator.
"In." The guard demanded as the doors opened and we followed the orders.
I glanced over and saw what button he pressed. It was the only other button on there. The one above it must've been where we currently were. The "Pit" was the name of the floor, but the name of the floor we were going to was simply called the "Interrogation" room.
"Are you okay?" Octavia asked causing Vinyl to look over at me with a worried look in her eyes.
"Y-yeah I'm f-fine." I answered as I tried to smile as all the color from my face drained once I read that word.
*Ding* the bell rang as the doors opened.
"Ah you're here." A tall and stocky man dressed in officer attire said as we walked into the room in front of a one sided mirror.
"Hello General Striker." Vinyl said as she walked forward and shook hands with the man as did Octavia.
"Why am I here?" I asked in a scared tone.
"Well a certain prisoner we have who we're trying to connect to some crimes has not been willing to talk to us. However, she said she would agree to help us out if we allowed her to talk to you." The general said as he motioned to the door next to the mirror.
"Uhh." I began as I started walking back towards the elevator only to be stopped by what felt like a brick wall. I turned around only to see our buddy who brought us down here looking at me with a smile on his face.
"Put him in there." The general demanded as he looked at the mirror and pressed a button then spoke into the mic. "We brought him like you asked play nice or else." He stated and after the last word left his mouth I heard it. That soft quiet giggling emanating from inside the room as the door opened.
"Are you seriously going to put me in there?" I said as I struggled.
"Don't worry we have guards on standby." The general said with a sadistic smile on his face.
"At least tell me what she's been convicted of?!" I yelled as I was shoved into the room in pure darkness.
"How about you take this off and I'll tell you." A female voice in the room stated as the lights turned on. That's when I saw her. Light pink skin, wearing a straight jacket with her head angled down so I couldn't see her face only just her straight medium pink hair. She had her back turned towards me as she leaned forward showing me her tied up jacket.
"O-okay..." I said hesitantly as I walked forward and slowly began undoing her straight jacket. Once I finished I started taking a couple steps back before I tripped over my own feet and landed on the floor with a solid thump. Then I felt a big weight on top of me only to open my eyes after wincing from the pain to see her light blue eyes peering down at me.
"Nice balance." She said with a smile as her straight hair almost covered my face and seemed to surround my head.
"Wh-Wha-What are you doing?" I frantically asked.
"Nothing, but you held up your end of the deal so I will hold up mine." She said as she lowered her head until it was a couple inches from mine. Her face was so close I could feel the heat from her breathe on my face.
I didn't respond as I stood there looking at her even closer once my vision settled. I had only one thought run through my mind.
"I've been convicted of multiple counts of murder-" She began as she tried to scare me, but before she could go any further my thought somehow made itself known to everyone there. I looked her dead in the eyes and my thought found the most opportune moment to come out.
"You're really beautiful..." I said in a voice so quiet that only she and I could hear it.
She then sat up, even though she was still straddling me, and looked at me in the eyes as I sat up as well.
"Holy shit I am so sorry. I have no idea what came over me." I said as I closed me eyes and became ready to brace myself from a full on frontal assault when I was met with a different type of attack. I felt something wrap around my waist and felt something on my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes and what I saw almost gave me a heart attack.
"I missed you so so much Skull Punk." She said as she... hugged me very tightly with her head on my shoulder.
"Uhh..." I said as i tried not to piss myself.
"Oh that's right you don't remember my name do you. I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, but you can call me 'Pinkie' for short." She said as she pulled herself out of the hug and looked at me with a sweet smile.
"Nice to meet you Pin-" I tried to say before I was interrupted by her yet again.
Holy shit is this happening? Why is this happening here? Why is she... she.... KISSING ME! My mind screamed as she embraced my lips with hers.
Equestria Girls: Shattered Mind
After two hours of talking with Pinkie it was time for me to leave. It was around Eleven I think and we still had an hour drive and I had school the next day sadly.
"Hey it was really fun talking with you again." Pinkie said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah you too." I replied as I tried to get over the fact that she kissed me.
"I'm only going to tell you this once, but stop wearing that ridiculous face mask and be yourself." She said as she ran up and hugged me again.
"Yes ma'am." I said as I began blushing. She let go after a minute or two and I started heading towards the door before I was stopped.
"Hey how're Twilight and the others?" She asked as I was standing in the doorway.
"I... honestly don't know. Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash don't talk to me that much but Twilight seems to go out of her way to ignore me and give me a vibe of pure hatred emanating from her." I said as I looked down towards my feet.
"Oh.. well don't let it get you down." She said with a nervous smile.
"Right.." I said as I walked out and went home for the night getting ready for the nightmare at school the next day.
---6 A.M./Friday---
I was walking around in complete darkness where I could only see my body and a small area around me. It didn't take long before I heard laughter coming from the darkness surrounding me. So I began walking faster until I ran into something...or someone.
"Ow my head. I'm so sorry I didn't see you. " I said as I rubbed my head.
"Why did you do this to me? " A female voice asked in the dark.
"Huh? " I said as I rubbed my eyes only to see who was standing before me.
"Why.... why did you do this to me? " A girl with curly, puffy pink hair sobbed.
"Pinkie is that you? " I asked as I reached out towards her.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!! " She screamed as she was drenched in a dark crimson liquid that began swirling around her as she absorbed the liquid and began transforming.
"What the hell? " I quietly said only to be disrupted by a loud pop as Pinkie appeared the way she did when I last saw her.
"Y'know I think I'm gonna repay you for what happened to me... " She said as her face was aimed towards the sky as she reached for something behind her back.
"Pinkie? " I questioned before she screamed extremely loud and made a bee line for me. She was upon me in seconds, then I was pushed to the ground as she straddled me.
"Are you ready to repay what you did?! " She yelled as she put her hand around my throat.
"Please....Don't.....Pinkie... " I began gasping out as I lost all air inside my lungs and I began tearing up.
"You're right this isn't the 'good' way to do it. " She said as she got a straight look on her face and sat up straight only to have her hair cover her face.
"Thank *cough* you Pinkie. " I said as I started breathing again.
"CHOKING IS TOO GOOD FOR SCUM LIKE YOU!!! " Pinkie yelled as she flung her hand around from her back holding... a knife. She then in one swift movement slammed the knife into my forehead before I could react. I couldn't say anything, I only saw hear lean her head down next to my ear. "And to think that I almost fell for you. " She laughed as my eyes closed.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" I screamed as I was shaken awake by Vinyl who was looking at me with worried eyes.
"Bro are you okay?" Vinyl asked as she looked at me concerned.
"Yeah...*huff* I think so." I said as I rubbed my eyes. I felt terrible just as if I had slept only for two hours.
"Well I hope so we still have school today and if you don't hurry you're going to be late." She said as she walked out of my room getting her stuff ready.
I groaned as I rolled out of bed and walked towards the kitchen in order to fix me some breakfast.
"Morning Skull." Octavia yawned as she walked past me in her school uniform sipping coffee from her thermos.
I only grunted in response.
"Coffee is still in the pot nice and hot and you're breakfast is in the microwave." She said with a smile as she stopped in front of her room.
"Thanks." I groaned as my eyes were still adjusting to the light in the kitchen.
After finishing my meal and drinking my coffee I realized that I was definitely gonna be late considering I had 15 minutes before school started and school was thirty minutes away.
"Well I might as well get going." I said to myself as I gathered all my school supplies and got into my clothes for the day and headed out not ready for what was ahead. I arrived at school about thirty minutes later and dragged my way to the office to check in.
"Well hopefully things'll be much more interesting today so you don't fall asleep Dash." A country voice said around the corner. Then within seconds I bumped into the voices owner.
"Ow crap.." I said as backed up and rubbed my head.
"Uh it's okay Skull Punk." Applejack said with a nervous laugh.
"If you don't want to you don't have to talk to me I'm used to being disowned by others.." I said as I looked down to the side.
"Actually darling we've been talking among ourselves.. and we've decided that we want to be friends again." Rarity said as she rubbed the back of her neck as the others nodded.
"Really?" I asked as I perked up full of excitement.
"Yeah I mean to be honest I miss playing sports with you." Rainbow Dash said as she stepped up with her hands cupping the back of her head.
"Thanks guys I really appreciate it, however, how does...Twilight feel about this?" I asked I felt the joy leave me only to be replaced by a pit of sadness.
"No one has seen her this morning sadly." Fluttershy said quietly as she stepped out behind the corner.
"Oh.. Also I forgot to mention Pinkie asked about y'all." I said hoping to give them some good news and brighten up their day.
All four of their mouths dropped as they looked at me in shock.
"Was it something I said?" I asked as I started to get scared.
"When did you talk to her?!" Applejack asked frantically.
"Last night and early into this morning." I replied.
"How is she? Is she okay?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yeah she's okay she requested to speak to me a lot and they finally cracked under the pressure and agreed." I said as I nervously laughed.
"Well at least she's doing good." Fluttershy said as she let out a sigh of relief.
"I know well I gotta go get to the main office and tell them what happened." I said as I walked off and waved to my friends.
After a quick word with the principle and everyone in the office I began heading to my class only to see the one person I was fearing to see in the entire school.
"Hey... Twilight." I said as I gave her a little wave.
As soon as she saw me her eyes turned to stones and she went cold.
"What do you want?" She snapped back.
"I...I was just saying 'hi' is all..." I said as I started feeling nauseous.
"Well I don't want to exchange friendly greetings towards the likes of you. Now don't ever talk to me again." She snarled as she began walking away before she stopped right next to me. "And one more thing... You will soon get what you deserve." She said quietly before she walked away.
I stood there for a minute before I walked solemnly to my class. I arrived after a couple minutes and I opened the door and walked in without saying a word as I headed to my desk.
"Hey there Skull Punk!" Ms. Cheerilee said with happiness in her voice.
I didn't respond I just sat down at my desk and laid my head on it and closed my eyes.
"Okay.." She said as she went on with class.
After the couple hours of hell that school is I decided to head to the mall just to look around and kill time. I finally arrived at the Canterlot Royalty Mall and walked in with my earbuds in playing some quiet dubstep.
I had my eyes opened halfway only to see people giving me the stink eye, older men giving me a look of utter disgust, mothers pulling their kids away from my path.
Damn bastards. They don't want to understand me at all they just want someone to blame all the worlds problems on. I thought to myself as I walked around the store.
After multiple people complaining to security they finally asked me to please leave and return at another date. I simply nodded after confirming that I wouldn't be completely banned from the mall I left.
I ended up heading home around ten o'clock when the street lights were beginning to turn on. I decided to take a back alley to get home quicker because I was still tired from the lack of sleep.
"Stop right there." A voice said behind me.
"What do you want." I said as I stopped in my tracks pinching the bridge of my nose.
"It's time for you to pay." The voice said full of anger.
"Look I'm sorry for whatever I supposedly did okay." I said as I slowly began turning around.
"No you aren't! Because of you Pinkie is in prison and has been turned into a monster!" The voice yelled.
"How do you know..." I said as I finally turned around and saw the person in front of me.
"You did this." The person said as tears began streaming down their face.
"I don't remember what happened I swear!" I pleaded to them trying to calm them down.
"I DON'T CARE. YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!!!" The person yelled as they pulled out a pistol and aimed it at me.
"Please don't calm down..." I started to beg only to have a pair of stone cold eyes glare at me.
"Time for you to take responsibility for what you did." They said as their finger pulled the trigger as a loud bang filled the air.
I couldn't say anything the only thing I felt was a sharp pain in my head as a red liquid began to flow over my eyes as I fell to the ground with a loud thud. The person then walked over next to me and was looking down at me from above as they laid the gun down next to me with a glove covered hand.
"Wow that was easier than I thought. Oh well one less monster for the world to harbor I guess." They said as they walked away.
There was only one thought that ran through my mind before I passed out. Why.... Why did you do this.... Twilight.
Equestria Girls: Shattered Mind
I was surrounded by darkness and heard a faint clicking noise around me. I was lying on something I don't know what it was. It may have been a bed or couch, but it didn't feel like the floor that I was laying on when.... As soon as I remembered what happened I shot straight up accidentally headbutting someone that was leaning over me.
"Ow my head..." I grunted as I closed my eyes as they were bombarded by the bright lights around me.
"Thank you nurse." A old grumbling voice said to my left.
"Of course doctor." A female voice said to my right.
I opened my eyes only to realize I was in a hospital room right out of the apocalypse.
"Where the hell?" I started as I looked around only to look a gruff looking old man who was wearing a torn lab coat in the eyes nearly scaring the crap out of me.
"Are you and who am I?" He said as he raised his eyebrow. "Is what I presume you were going to ask?"
"Uh yeah..." I said as I sat up and rubbed my forehead.
"Headache?" He asked.
"Am I..." I started.
"Dead? No you aren't you are simply..... well I will let him explain." He said as he walked towards a door and motioned for me to follow.
"What is this place?" I asked as we started walking down halls with rooms on both sides filled with shadows and muttering. Then in one of the rooms an earsplitting scream was let out the stopped like someone pressed pause on a tape.
"This place goes by many names, but you can call it the 'Institute'." He said as we turned a corner.
I didn't say anything because every question I was going to ask disappeared as soon as I saw 'it'.
"Well the man who will answer your questions is inside there." He said pointing to a door as he then walked behind me and disappeared.
I stood there motionless. The door wasn't like anything I have ever seen. It was made of... human hearts. All of the anatomy classes I was forced to sit through awake by my sister were finally paying off. I tried to turn around and walk away before the door opened and my legs started moving towards the door of flesh then in a flash I was surrounded by darkness.
"I swear if I had a dollar for every time.." I began before I was interrupted.
"I know right." A deep voice chuckled behind me causing me to do a complete 180.
"Who's there and please be straight I've had bad experiences with people behind me." I said as I prepared myself for anything.
"Oh I saw that particularly nasty piece of work. Come here kid." A gruff old man with gray hair as he flipped a lighter to light a cigar.
I agreed and slowly walked over and sat down in an empty chair in front of his 'throne'. "So who are you?" I asked again.
"I'm surprised you don't remember me, but then again I did die when you were pretty young." He said as he blew out some smoke.
"Now that you do mention it... I still have no idea who you are." I said as I put my head into my hands.
"Well we did never really meet officially grandson." The old man said with a smile.
"What do you mean 'grandson' my grandfather died years ago." I said as I leaned in closer.
"The name's Jackie. Jackie Estacado." He replied.
"Holy... Shit it is you." I gasped as I tried to wrap my head around what was happening.
"Anyway kid I know you have questions, but I will have to answer those another day we have an important conversation to have." Jackie said as he snapped his fingers causing the whole room to turn black.
"Finally some one on one action." A deep raspy voice said as two sets of orange eyes appeared to the sides of Jackie and sharp white teeth followed.
"Indeed it has been a couple days, but still the time has finally come for him to realize his purpose." A high pitched evil voice said.
"What the hell is happening?!" I said as I started getting cold.
"Time for a history lesson and it's gonna be a long one." Jackie said as light slowly started returning showing the two dark entities that were flowing around him. "Don't be scared. So let's start this tale. In the beginning of time there was chaos, evil, disorder and darkness. The evils of the universe one day were slammed together and created a being that withheld these in itself and it later became known as 'The Darkness'. Fast forward many many years to the dawn of man our ancestor Christian Estacado. He was introduced to it in a dream and had a contract forced upon him now each male in each generation of our family and it makes it's appearance on the eve of their 21st birthday. However, the darkness was forced to manifest itself early for you because of what happened at the school." He informed me.
"Wait what happened at the school?" I asked with adrenaline flowing through my veins.
"Someone who is allied with the opposing force against the darkness 'the Angelus' they attacked the school and you were forced to defend them. You will regain memories of what happened last year and you will be able to use the darkness, but not completely for another year when you turn 21. You can use it only in dire situations when you are not of age yet. The darkness has taken a liking to you since you are the first one in all of history to have awoken it early. Now you have some unfinished business to attend to back home." He said as he snapped his fingers and the door of hearts appeared next to me. "It was fun seeing you again boy have fun dealing with your friends back home especially that Twilight chick." Jackie said as I walked through the door after waving goodbye.
----Reality----
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed as I jumped back to life feeling the sharp pain in my head.
*Clink* something hit the ground. I looked over to see the gun lying next to me. Then I looked over on the wall to my left only to see something that would be of great help. Some redneck decided to save money put a video trail camera on a lamp post that was in his yard.
Excellent. I thought to myself as I walked over and popped out the sd card and put it into my phone.
14 missed calls from 'Sis' yesterday,
"Well guess it's time to pay Twilight a visit." I said as I picked up the gun and began walking as the sun went down to Twilight's house for a fun little visit.
----Forty Minutes later/ 7:38 P.M. Twilight's House----
*Knock Knock* I knocked on the door praying to not hear a response. Nothing. I start looking around trying to find a spare key somewhere.
"Where are ya you little-." I began before I found it under a fake rock. "Hehehehehe." I started laughing with my usual dark and creepy laugh. "Guess I'll let myself in." I whispered as I walked in and locked the door behind me.
"Well I guess I have a couple minutes til she gets home." I said as I started looking around trying to hook my phone up to her TV. I thankfully found a hook up port and cord along with a remote. "I swear Twilight it's like you wanted me to set this up!" I joyfully laughed as I set everything up in order to have a friendly chat with her. After a couple minutes it was connected and worked. I then decided to hide in her living room closet which was surprisingly spacious and allowed me to look out into the living room through a small gap in the door.
*Click* the front door opened followed by giggling.
"So Twi what was it ya wanted to talk to us about?" A country girl asked.
"Well it's kinda uneasy to hear." Twilight said as her and four other girls walked into the living room.
Perfect. I thought to myself as I got ready.
"Well come on egg head it's almost time for that horror movie to come on!" Rainbow Dash said eagerly.
I then took that opportunity, with a sinister grin on my face, I clicked the play button and watched as Twilight and the others watched her gun me down in the alley. I then noticed that there was a mirror next to me and I had just enough light to see that my face was still covered in blood and the bullet hole was there as well and so was..... my smile. It wasn't the smile of someone that was having a great time it was the smile of someone who was about to get revenge.
"Twilight what was that?" Fluttershy asked in a scared tone in her voice.
"Look girls I was going to tell you tha-." Twilight began.
"That she gunned me down out of revenge." I said as I stepped out of the closet with a sinister smirk on my face.
"What is going on here!!!" Rarity screamed in horror as she saw my face covered in blood.
"Isn't it obvious love this is a precious game called 'revenge'. I said as I then turned my attention to her.
"What do you want Skull Punk!?" Twilight asked in anger.
"What I want is for you to shut up, sit down, and listen." I said as I pulled out the gun she shot me with and pointed it at her head.
The girls all gasped in unison and quietly and quickly sat down as fear began to fill their eyes.
"Good. Now that I have your attention let's get started shall we?" I said as I turned on a lamp that was next to me.
Equestria Girls: Shattered Mind
The Truth I Hope They Believe
There we sat for a couple minutes in silence as I stared at Twilight, she stared at me and the others were staring at both of us.
"Let me start by saying that you all will leave here unharmed if you simply listen." I said in a calm voice trying to lower the tension.
"First off what the hay are ya?" Applejack questioned.
"I'll get to that eventually, but first things first. I am not the one who attacked the school last year." I said as I leaned forward.
"Oh yeah well how can we believe you?" Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically.
"Because I came back from the dead and have exposed Twilight for attempted murder of yours truly." I chuckled.
They were still silent and did not say a word.
"Don't believe me?" I said as I raised my eyebrow.
"Not entirely darling." Rarity slowly replied.
"Fine then." I said as I stood up and walked in front of them. "If I can't convince all of you then one will have to do."
They all looked nervous as I towered above them.
"So... Fluttershy." I said as I crouched down before her and looked her eye to eye.
"Y-yes?" She responded nervously.
"Why are you choosing her?!" Twilight said angrily.
"Because she was the only one out of the six of you other than Pinkie who still hasn't acted hostile towards me in any way. Besides we have known each other longer than I've known y'all." I snapped back.
"Oh.." She said quietly.
"Flutters please look me in my eyes okay?" I said calmly as she did what I asked as her sniffling grew quieter. I reached out my hand in order to comfort her as she hesitantly put hers in mine. "Do you trust me Fluttershy. You know that I wouldn't do anything that would hurt you guys or anyone at the school, right?" I spoke to her on a one on one level, not paying attention to the others as I looked her in the eyes.
"I trust you.. you always were really nice and kind to everyone when we were younger." Fluttershy said with a small smile on her face.
"Thank you Flutters I appreciate it." I said with relief as I walked back over to my chair. "Now let's get started. I don't know who attacked the school last year, but it was a male and a female who were being controlled." I began.
"Wait how do you know they were being controlled?" Twilight asked.
"Because I know the being that helped someone do it. It's called 'The Angelus' and it is the embodiment of righteousness and light. But, most importantly of all is that it doesn't care about humans at all." I carried on as the others listened.
"So if there is a being of light then does that mean there's a being of darkness?" Rainbow Dash questioned.
"Damn Dash straight to the point I see." I said as I stood up and looked at them all. "Yes there is a being of darkness, chaos, and destruction. It is called 'The Darkness' and my family has been it's host for generations dating all the way back to my ancestor Christian Estacado and it has finally been passed onto me." I explained to them.
"I still don't believe that darling. How do we know you are telling the truth." Rarity complained as the others gulped.
"Fine princess." I said as I lifted my gun in the air and focused on it with all of my attention then in an instant I pictured it completely different and the gun suddenly began melting in my hand and then reformed itself in the design of my choosing. "Is that better?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Y-yes d-d-darling." She replied as the others and herself were pale.
"Thank you. Now when the school was attacked The Darkness inside me noticed the enormous threat and it awakened in me and helped 'guide' me when I fought against the attackers. I still don't remember how I lost my memory either, but the one thing that I do know is that Pinkie is innocent. She did not kill those people." I said as I cupped my hands around my mouth.
"What do ya mean she ain't guilty?" Applejack questioned.
"She was found with the blood of the students who were already dead on her body so the officials automatically thought she did it." I said with a sigh.
"And how do you know that?" Twilight asked.
"Because I was the one to find her before the authorities and when I did she was trying to perform CPR on one of the students. She had already snapped when I got there so I did the only logical thing I could think of. I knocked her out and took her out of the school only to have her taken from me the moment I got out." I said as I felt myself get choked up.
"Well... I believe you now that I think about it..." Rainbow Dash stated.
"What do you mean darling?" Rarity asked.
"I see where you're going with this actually Dash. If it was one of the students then the faculty would've warned us in case we saw them, but they only said that strangers had entered the school." Twilight said as she started having everything clear up in her head.
"Bingo." I said as I snapped my fingers. "Even thought it was school it was High School and the teachers would've had a higher probability of telling us who it was if it was a student."
The others then started catching on and understanding the situation.
"Now does anyone have any questions?" I asked as I looked around.
"I still have one. If this being is made out of evil and chaos then why haven't you hurt us?" Twilight asked curiously.
"Well for one he isn't in control I am and second if I wanted to hurt you then I would've done it as soon as you got here. So I'm not entirely evil." I said with a little smirk.
"Well I'm happy you finally told us the truth." Fluttershy said calmly as the others agreed.
"Yeah I'm sorry it took this long. Also don't tell anyone about this conversation or whatever happened. I'm gonna tell everyone who asks where I was that I was spending the weekend at Twilight's so all of us could talk. That would probably be the best answer for those who get curious and it would explain us getting friendlier." I said as I stood up along with the others.
"I'm also sorry...." Twilight said as she lowered her head in shame followed by the others doing the same.
"Come on guys it's okay I understand that not knowing what happened made you all try to pin the blame on someone and that's fine. Also Twilight don't worry about shooting me cuz I probably would've done the same if I were in your shoes. Lets just turn over a new leaf and start this friendship over." I said as I holstered my weapon and patted her on the shoulder.
"If you say so." Twilight said as tears began rolling down her cheeks.
"Oh also I need a plastic bag and some clothes of your brothers. I hate to ask, but can you get those for me while I wash this off my face?" I asked as I motioned towards the wound on my head with my eyebrow raised.
"Yeah I can also there are band-aids in the medicine cabinet." She said as she walked upstairs to get the clothes and as I went to wash my face.
After about ten minutes of face scrubbing and using neosporin I walked out to find the bag waiting for me and the others chatting.
"Alright girls I'm off gotta leave before my sister tracks me down and kills me for real." I said as I started for the door.
"Bye!" They all said in unison.
"Oh also." Twilight said as she walked to catch me before I left. "The next time you visit Pinkie can you tell her we said 'hey'?" She asked hoping I'd say yes.
"Of course I was going to anyway." I said as I waved by and walked out and headed home.
After a long 45 minute walk I finally made it home. I stood in front of the house for a couple minutes then walked inside. I looked around and didn't see anyone, but I did hear the T.V. in the living room on so I decided to quickly drop my things off in my room, making extra sure to leave my gun in a well hid place, and crept into the living room behind the couch. I peered over only too see Vinyl and Octavia passed out at separate ends of the couch with their legs entangled with each other.
Girls this is too easy. I thought to myself as I tried to become as small as possible behind the couch.
"Vinyl..... Octavia....." I whispered causing them to stir a little. So I whispered again calling their names.
"Hel*yawn*lo?" Octavia said as she slowly started opening her eyes as Vinyl grunted.
"WAKE UP!!!!!!" I screamed at them as I jumped up from behind the couch with my teeth barred staring at both of them.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" They both screamed like someone shot them.
"Damn girls you all need to stop being such heavy sleepers." I said as I leaned over a little.
"You sir are an asshole!" Octavia said as she was trying to calm down.
"You two make it so easy though." I said with a smile as I looked over at Vinyl who sat there blushing covering her face. "You okay?" I asked worriedly.
"You....you made me....." She said in a shaky voice.
"What did I do?" I asked as I cocked my head to the side.
"You made me.....pee myself." She said as she stood up only to show a faint yellow stream flowing down her pants leg as she made a mad dash towards the bathroom while Octavia and I giggled.
"Hey be sure to clean up your yellow drop road and the couch 'Tinkle Stain'!" I called out to her.
"SHUT UP!!" She yelled back from the bathroom.
"Tinkle Stain?" Octavia asked.
"Yeah when she was about four or five she would always pee the bed almost every night so dad decided to give her the nickname 'Tinkle Stain' and it stuck ever since." I said with a grin on my face.
Then Vinyl walked back in with a paper towel and cleaned up the mess, threw away the towel and walked right in front of me so fast I thought she was a spirit or something.
"Yes?" I said getting ready for the biggest hit of my life only to be embraced in a death hug.
"I... I was so so worried...." She said as she began sobbing as she buried her face in my chest.
"I know sis I'm sorry. When you calm down I will explain where I was." I said as I hugged her tight and closed my eyes as I began to sniffle. I was worried too. I thought to myself.

Sorry for the long wait for this chapter I have been extremely busy!!!
People Never Change
Two weeks after the incident at Twilight's house and having Vinyl and Octavia complain to me about what happened. Then during a Friday night I finally crumpled under the pressure and decided to go to the homecoming football game of the year. The Canterlot Wonderbolts were going against the Fillydelphia Shadowcolts.
"Hey Skull glad you could make it to the game!!" Rainbow Dash said as she ran over to great Vinyl, Octavia and myself as we started walking away from the concession stand with drinks in hand.
"Hey Dash what's up?" Vinyl said as she gave her a fist bump.
"Not much Vinyl just excited I could talk Twilight and everyone else into coming to the game. Then I thought why not ask you guys also." She said with a smile as she cupped the back of her head with her hands. Then the others started walking over to greet us as well.
"Hey girls." I said as I waved to them. They of course waved back, but Twilight seemed nervous for some reason.
"Hey Skull do you mind going with Twi 'nd grabbin' us some drinks while we go get seats?" Applejack asked as she raised her eyebrow trying to signal me.
"Alright I'm game let's go Twilight." I said as I motioned for her to follow me as we went to go grab the drinks.
"Skull I just wanted to say that I am... so so sorry for what I did... and how I treated you.." She began as she started sniffling a little.
"Twilight it's okay trust me. I've had worse done to me than that. Sure you did shoot me and essentially kill me, but here I am back from the dead and I have learned things from someone I knew. So don't feel bad about anything okay I forgive you completely." I said as I stopped her and reassured her with my hand on her shoulder causing her to grin.
"Thanks I appreciate it." She said as she wiped away the tears and we got the drinks and went to sit down with the others.
Be.... careful.... A familiar deep voice said in my head causing me to look around at everyone around me.
"I wonder who they're gonna pick for the homecoming king and queen." Twilight said as we joined the others.
"What 're y'all talkin' about?" Applejack asked as we passed out the drinks to everyone.
"The homecoming winners." I said as I opened my sweet tea and took a sip.
"Well the queen will more than likely be Rarity she's been going crazy in the polls." Rainbow Dash commented.
"True true." I replied.
"Thank you both for the confidence." Rarity said with a small sniffle.
The game went on for a couple hours. It was full of our team hitting their team and their team hitting our team and myself laughing so hard I couldn't breathe when our team got hit.
"You find this funny?" Fluttershy asked questioningly.
"Well yeah of course nothing is better than seeing people knock the crap out of each other." I said with a smile as Vinyl was laughing so hard she was in tears.
"I swear you two are going to be the death of me one day." Octavia said as she pinched the brow of her nose.
"C'mon Shoulder Pad!!!" A guy with a thick beard yelled as the football player that he called to caught an interception and was running it in for the game winning touchdown.
"I'll be back guys gotta go to the bathroom real quick." I said as I stood up and started to make my way to the restrooms.
"You not gonna watch him score?" Twilight asked through a bite of popcorn.
"I don't want to see it cuz I really don't care." I said as I walked away from them.
The restrooms for the students that went were located down near the field and weren't too far away. I saw some students of course lingering around the restrooms talking and smoking. I just ignored them as I walked in.
"Hey loser!" One of the guys yelled.
I politely responded with a very beautiful bird as I walked in. I was in there for a couple minutes doing my thing until I heard a voice.
Hey kid. The raspy voice said.
What? I replied in thought.
Be careful about what is outside. The voice responded before the presence disappeared.
I finished my business and walked over to the sink and splashed cold water on my face trying to get over the fact that I just talked to a voice in my head. I started my way out and was met the announcement of the homecoming King.
"Our Queen Rarity has already been crowned! Now it is time to announce the King that will take the throne!" Diamond Tiara said as she was up on stage with her idiot in crime and Rarity.
Huh I figured she would win. Oh well I hope whoever wins King will treat her right. I thought as I started towards the others.
"This year's homecoming King is.... Skull Punk!" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both said in the mic.
"What...." I said as I stopped in my tracks and looked at the stage.
"Well come on man let's go!" Shoulder Pad said as he appeared right next to me and started pushing me to the stage.
"I respectfully decline my crown thank you!" I said trying to resist the freight train behind me.
"Aww do you not like Rarity?" Diamond Tiara asked still with mic in hand.
"No it's not that I just don't want any attention." I said with an awkward grin.
"Come on someone like you should love the attention." Shoulder Pad said with a weird tone in his voice.
"No I don't!" I grunted as I broke through his force and was able to roll to the side.
"What are you too good for our homecoming king crown?" Diamond Tiara asked as she tried to get the crowd going.
"No it's not like that." I said as I started to back up.
"Do you not like Rarity?" Shoulder Pad asked as he started walking closer to me.
"No I do like her as a friend." I said as I tried to back up further.
"Well then what is it?" Diamond Tiara asked making Rarity shift uncomfortably.
"I..." I started to say before I was interrupted.
"Grab him." Shoulder Pad said and in an instant I felt what felt like meaty ropes wrap around my arms, waist, and legs only to look down and see the other members of the team grabbing me and holding me in place.
"What are you doing?" I said startled as I tried to break free.
"Getting revenge." Shoulder Pad said as he looked to Diamond Tiara and nodded.
"Everyone who is here in the Canterlot stadium before us we have someone who has caused so much pain and suffering for many of the families in our community and for all of us. He has harmed our friends, classmates and those we knew without remorse. Well tonight we are going to get revenge for friends and put him in his place." Diamond Tiara said as she motioned for others to come out with a giant bucket of some type of liquid and a box of matches.
Without warning I was dumped with the liquid and then realized by the smell that it was rubbing alcohol and water. I then knew what they were planning on doing.
"Don't worry everyone this will not harm him it is completely harmless." Shoulder Pad said only to be met with silence from the crowd except for my friends and sisters pushing through the crowd.
"Well might as well get this show on the road." Diamond Tiara said as she motioned for Silverspoon who was holding the matches to start flicking them off the box at me.
Within three minutes the ninth match caught fire and set me ablaze. I did nothing but sit there as I was engulfed in flames.
"We told you about thissssssss. " The high pitched voice said.
"Yet you did not listen. " The deep voice added.
"Yes I know I should've listened. " I responded to them.
"So how do you want to act? " They both asked in unison.
"I know. " I replied as a grin appeared on my face and as The Darkness read my mind and laughed since they had the same idea.
"We all hope you have learned your les-" Diamond Tiara began before she was interrupted.
"Why are you smiling?" Shoulder Pad asked as he stepped a little closer.
Within an instant I broke free from the other team members grasp on my right arm and grabbed Shoulder Pad by the throat.
"Well isn't it obvious you dolt. You all think I am the cause for what happened at the school last year, but I am not." I said as I broke from the others grasps and started walking towards the stage with Shoulder Pad in my hand.
"What ar-" Diamond Tiara started to say as a burning human holding a football player in one of his hands was almost at the stage.
"Zip it kid!" I snapped back with my voice booming very loudly and deeply.
Diamond Tiara shut up and froze in place as I stepped up on the stage and snatched the microphone from her hands.
"Listen up everyone because I really do hate repeating myself. This ends today." I said as I threw Shoulder Pad into Diamond Tiara causing them both to fall onto the floor. "For a good while I have been treated like trash for something I did not do. The incident at the school mainly so let me tell you buffoons what really happened. I didn't cause the attack nor did I commit it. If I hadn't had stepped in many kids would have died along with those that did that day. The period of time where everything is blamed on me is going to stop right now." I said as a dark cloud formed behind me and within the cloud were two sets of glowing yellow orbs that blended in with the flames.
"It's all your fault you no good abomination." A man yelled from in the stands.
"That's exactly what I'm talking about." I said as I snapped my fingers and the individual appeared behind me engulfed in the cloud.
"What are you doing?" He stammered out trying to get free.
"Being nice." I said as I pointed my finger causing the cloud to carry him and place him before me and before the crowd. "This is what I am talking about. I am going to show you people that I mean business." I said as I grinned causing the cloud that was holding him to turn into a mass of tentacles and underneath the orbs rows full of sharp needle like teeth appeared and opened up.
"OH GOD HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!!!!!" The man started yelling.
"Those of you who are going to continue to blame me will have to deal with me. I do not want to harm any of you. I simply want to live my life out like a regular student." I said as I released the man and he fell on his rear end." Please do not tempt me with causing you harm because I can more than likely talk you out of the altercation. Simply because I am extremely," I started then with the will of simply my mind I forced the fire to flow into the palm of my hand in a ball. "Persuasive."
After getting my point across I simply bent over and jerked the crown out of Diamond Tiara's hands and placed it on my head.
"You really should've listened to me to start with." I said as I walked off the stage and walked merrily home.
Equestria Girls: Shattered Mind
After the incident at the homecoming game it took me about 45 minutes to arrive home and of course 'they' were already there waiting inside for me. So I walked up to the door and walked in like I normally do.
"You know if you would ask nicely I'm sure many people would let you into their homes without you breaking in." I said as I walked over to the fridge and got me a cold bottle of cider out. "Want one?"
"Sure I'll take one." He said as he sat in a corner of the dining room.
I walked over with drinks in hand and passed him one. "So what can I do for you?" I asked as I took a drink.
"Well a little birdie told me that you might have gotten some of your memories back." He said as he opened his drink.
"Well someone needs to be quiet while the other talks." I replied as I sat down and looked him dead in the eyes.
"So who will do which?" He asked as he stared back.
"Well you can start talking and you can start by saying you'll let out Pinkie." I said in a monotone voice.
"And what makes you think that can be arranged?" He commented as he took another sip.
"The thing that makes me 'think' that is the fact that she was wrongfully imprisoned and you know it. But, you needed someone to take the blame and that's why you arrested her." I said as I slammed my drink down.
"And what would I get out of it?" He asked as he grinned.
"Fine you wanna play hardball then lets play; and by play I mean make a deal." I said as I downed my bottle of cider.
"Oh? What makes you think you are in any position to make a deal?" He replied as he raised an eyebrow.
"HAHAHA!!" I busted out laughing.
"What's so funny?" He asked confused.
"You think you're in control of this situation, but you're not. So here's the deal you let her go and I will find out who did this and bring them to you." I said as I crossed my arms.
"And what do I get if you fail?" He asked.
I motioned to myself making the biggest smile to ever appear before me show up on his face.
"Very well I like this deal." He said as he stood up and got ready to leave.
"Give me four months." I demanded as I stood up as well.
"Fine you'll get your four months." He said as he stuck out his hand.
"And when will Pinkie be let out?" I asked as I raised my own eyebrow.
"As soon as I get back." He smirked.
"Okay four months and not a minute too early." I said as I extended my own hand out.
"And not a minute too late." He commented as we shook hands.
"Hey Skull we're.... home." Vinyl said as her and Octavia walked in.
"Welcome back how was the rest of homecoming?" I said as I kept my eyes glued on him.
"It was pretty much over when you left. What are you doing here sir?" Octavia asked puzzled.
"Oh nothing he was just leaving. Isn't that right... General Striker?" I asked as I let go of his hand.
"Yes nothing at all." He said as he began to head for the door. He then turned around," I almost forgot that there will be some little birds keeping a close eye on you for awhile." He commented as he waved goodbye and left.
"What happened?!" Vinyl yelled as soon as the door closed.
"Just made a deal and sorted some things out." I said as I threw my empty bottle of cider into the trash can with deadly accuracy as I walked upstairs.
"He seems to be in a good mood." Octavia commented as she looked at Vinyl.
I was so tired I took my shower and went to bed at 9:30 and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
Surprisingly the Darkness was quiet that night and didn't so much as make a sound. More than likely due to that little show at the football game.
---8:00 A.M., Saturday August 5---
I was sleeping like a rock when my alarm started screaming at me. I groggily reached over and turned it off and I tried to get up only to encounter more weight than usual. I tried opening my eyes only to see nothing as I had a blindfold on.
"So I see you're awake?" A voice said with a yawn below my chin.
"What the hell?" I said as I reached for the blindfold only to have my hands caught by another persons hands.
"Not yet. You have to guess who I am." The voice said.
"I have no clue as you can tell my eyes are currently covered." I said jokingly.
"You always did have a good sense of humor. That's what I love about you." They said with a heavy sigh.
"Oh I see. I gotta tell you something." I said as I smiled and motioned with my head.
They leaned forward and I felt the side of their head brush against mine and before I could say anything I kissed their cheek.
"I swear I can't get anything by you can I?" They giggled.
"You were close though... Pinkie." I said with a smile.
She started laughing more and took off the blindfold showing who was on top of me.
"Just as beautiful as ever." I said with a smile after my eyes adjusted.
"Aww you're so sweet when someone's on top of you!" She said as she gave me a kiss.
"Honey if you don't get off you might get a 'rise' out of me." I said with a slight chuckle.
"Well that would be a problem this early in the morning wouldn't it?" She said as she got off.
I sat up and pulled her in for a hug and held her tight.
"Aww there's no need *sniff* to get emotional." She said as I put my head on her shoulder.
"I know I just never thought we would be able to be like this again." I commented as tears began to stream down my face.
"Well as long as we figure out this problem then we can do this everyday." Pinkie commented with a giggle.
"I doubt it..." I said as I let her go and looked at her with a sad look in my eyes.
"What do you mean?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Do you honestly think that if we do end up fixing this situation that they will let us go freely?" I questioned.
"Well... I don't know..." She replied as she lowered her head.
"Whatever happens will happen. Though I will fight for our freedom no matter what." I said as I lifted up her head by her chin and kissed her.
"I love you so much." She said quietly after we separated.
"I love you too. Now let's go get food I'm starving." I said as we got ready to head out my room.
Now the real challenge begins I thought to myself as we walked out.
