Reveal The Devil Inside

Demons To DevilsWritten By: BlackMirage and TheHighlander

Vinyl lie in bed motionless next to Aero, he had failed to make her "happy" like he promised. The Fire pony had been asleep for at least four hours, she rolled out of bed, trotted into the bathroom and stared at the mirror with disgust, she wasn't herself anymore, she had no brightness or humor, no spunk or joy, no nothing. Just a pony who could only feel pain and sadness.

Vinyl saw Mirage in the corner of the mirror, she turned around with a smile on her face, only finding an empty bathroom, the smile quickly faded, emotional daggers stabbed her in the heart, causing her to slump down and cry.

"No use in crying anymore" Aero said, walking up behind her, trying to help her up,

Vinyl spun around and slapped him, "Get out, and don't you ever even look at me when I'm drunk again" she snapped,

Aero turned around and walked slowly to the door, "He's never coming back Vinyl, move on" he said, coldly,

"Piss off Aero!" Vinyl yelled, pointing for him to leave,

As soon as Vinyl heard the front door slam she fell onto her bed, bawling over her lover.

"I should- I should have helped!" she whimpered, letting tears flow freely, how was she supposed to just move on?

Did mares who lost friends or family in the war just forget about the ponies they lost?

Any pony in their right mind would know to cherish the souls of the fallen, who dedicated themselves to fight for what they thought was the greater good. Who fought for the very survival of Equestria.

"Don't Forget" Mirage's voice said, inside of Vinyl's head, Don't forget who you really are"

"What do you mean?" Vinyl asked out loud,

I'm sorry, I must go, *he is watching*"

"Who?" Vinyl asked,

There was only silence, she received no answer from the voice,

She tried to cry, but no tears would come, she had run dry, her body refused to let her use any more water for something as useless as tears.

"I told you never to speak to her"

"Too bad"

Twilight and Trixie approached Vinyl's house, hearing her cries from their own house,

Twilight knocked, "Vinyl? You okay in there?"

"Go away!" Vinyl yelled from her bedroom,

"We want to help sweetie" Trixie said,

"I don't need any help!" Vinyl screamed, swinging the door opened, glaring daggers at the two mares,

"Yes, you really do" Twilight said,

"Why?" Vinyl snarled,

"Because you've changed ever since Mirage..." Twilight stopped, unable to say the words,

"What? since he suffocated in your teacher's deathtrap?!" Vinyl shrieked, tears rolling down her cheeks,

Twilight was taken aback by the comment, Vinyl had never been so aggressive,

"Don't speak to her like that!" Trixie said, stepping in front of Twilight,

Vinyl smiled, "Oh, and what are you going to do 'great and powerful' Trixie?" she snarled,

"Well, I'll... I'll do this!" Trixie said, entrapping Vinyl in a magic bubble,

Vinyls eyes turned golden, she had remembered what happened to Mirage.

Trixie also remembered, "Oh sh-"

Trixie was cut off by Vinyl breaking out of the bubble with no trouble, pinning her to the ground

Vinyl roared into Trixie's face, scaring her to the point where she could have pissed herself,

"Don't you ever touch me with your magic again you stupid bitch!" Vinyl roared,

"I- I'm sorry" Trixie whimpered,

Twilight pushed Vinyl off of Trixie, guarding her marefriend,

"Stop this right now!" Twilight screeched, "Your scaring her!"

Vinyl just walked into her house, slamming the door behind her, leaving the two mares outside,

Vinyl looked around, trying to find something to break, she finally decided on a vase, she picked it up with her magic and smashed it against a wall, sending a tremor through the house. Next, she found a table, on it sat her morning coffee, which Aero had made, she picked it up and flipped it over, sending coffee flying into the wall in front of her, the now cold liquid silently dripping onto the window sill.

You feel better? Vinyl asked herself in thought,

"Hell No" She said aloud

Vinyl laid on her back on her soft bed, putting on her headphones to try to get her mind off of Mirage, she scrolled through the songs on her My-Pod, Finding one she liked.

My Little Chemical Romance blasted into her eardrums, causing her to move her head to the beat, rocking it back and forth as the music resumed, her eyes began to droop slightly, her vision blurred and she finally closed her eyes.

"He Is Watching" a voice whispered,

Vinyl sat up, looking around for the voice, Finding nothing

She laid back down, closing her eyes again,

"You can't save him anymore" a different voice whispered, "He is nothing more than my puppet"

She opened her eyes again, not sitting up

"Who are you?" she asked, shifting her eyes in different directions,

No answer.

Vinyl closed her eyes, the whispers immediately returning,

Vinyl jumped out of bed,

"I wasn't tired anyways."
