Whaehonah's foalhood

Whaehonah used to be a happy pony when young, but one day when her and her parents moved to ponyville, things took a turn, not for the worst but not for the better. Whaehonah started school in ponyville to get the education her parents couldn't give her in the land they came from.

On her first day of school, things were said that built up the anger slowly. Two fillies in particular were the primary source of the problems, Whaehonah was called blank flank and razor tooth. Whaehonah couldn't help that she had sharp teeth, she was born that way and had no control over it.

When recess began things got strange, other ponies started telling Whaehonah they didn't want to be eaten. This confused her. Why would she eat another pony? One of the two that had teased her at the start of the day threw a piece of paper at her, when she unfolded it she couldn't help but hurl all over the table. It was a picture of her eating three fillies with a note at the bottom of the page. "Since you have sharp teeth, I want you to eat these three fillies who get in my way of glory. Signed diamond tiara." Whaehonah had had enough. She went over to diamond tiara and started beating on her. Punch by punch, Whaehonah felt more and more relieved of pain and anger. When she finished beating diamond tiara to a pulp Whaehonah left her with some final words, "You disgusting filly, you should have kept your dumb thoughts to yourself and left me alone, all I wanted was to get an education in peace, now don't worry about more beatings, because I will never come back here again." Whaehonah left the school and went into the everfree forest to be an outcast. When her parents heard about what happened, they were in tears, they never thought Whaehonah's difference would cause this much trouble. Miss Cheerilee apologized as much as she could. Whaehonah's parents didn't lose their tears, so Cheerilee pointed them in the direction that Whaehonah took, that's when the search for their daughter began.

Jecariah and Rephincioe searched the entire forest and couldn't find her. It was almost night time, but no sign of Whaehonah. They feared the worst could've happened to her, that's when they walked up on an ancient castle that had seen better days. They went in and searched everywhere. Meanwhile Whaehonah had walked up on an ersa cave and went in to get out of the cold night. But when she did, a baby ersa attacked her. Whaehonah starving and weak from walking around the forest all day, did the one thing she could do, she bit a chunk of flesh out of the ersa minor's throat as it went to grab her by the tail, when the beast went down in excruciating pain, Whaehonah did the one thing she could think of to get through the night, she began eating the ersa minor.

Jecariah and Rephincioe had no luck in the rundown castle and continued their search in the darker areas of the everfree forest. They walked up on the ersa cave and saw a massacre. They looked over and saw their daughter with blood on her lips and hooves. They couldn't believe their eyes, their daughter had become a meat eater. When morning came along, Whaehonah woke up and saw her parents sitting at the edge of the cave crying their eyes out, she went over to them and asked what was wrong. Her parents only answered in apologies. They were only blaming themselves for sending Whaehonah to school. Whaehonah tried telling them everything was alright but they still wished they hadn't put her through that. At least in the ersa cave, nopony was judging them for their differences.

They ended up making a life secluded in the forest.

Author's Note

The lesson here should be that bullying is a bad thing and can lead to bad things happening.
No one deserves to be bullied, no matter how different they are from everyone else.

The relative search

When Whaehonah grew up, times got tougher than before. She had just gotten through puberty unscathed and was told about her other family members, family that she had never gotten the chance to see.

Whaehonah asked for the names and was told, brother Thyntiuos, Uncle Wjanbranth, sister Senthrio, cousin Chamincio. Whaehonah was sad that she never got the chance to meet the rest of her family and shed some tears. After her last moment of tears, Whaehonah asked where her other family members lived and was given their addresses. The first address was in ponyville not very far from the crystal school also known as the school of friendship. Whaehonah hesitated to travel to this one going by her history with schools, but she wanted to meet the rest of her family more than anything so she went for it.

Whaehonah began her journey to find the other ponies in her family. Whaehonah walked around Ponyville until she saw the school, she walked down the street looking at each house number and eventually found the one she was looking for. Whaehonah walked up to the door, and proceeded to knock. Whaehonah was greeted by a yellow unicorn stallion with a spiked mane and a horn broken close his forehead. "Hello mam, what can do for you?" the unicorn stallion asked. Whaehonah introduced herself and the stallion could tell that they must be related due to the name, and invited her in for a cup of tea. The two discussed some things about their pasts and Thyntiuos was shocked at what Whaehonah had been through. The two finished their tea and Thyntiuos showed Whaehonah something that he had created. A cart that had an engine, Whaehonah asked to drive it to her next destination. Thyntiuos granted her permission to do so, levitated the keys over to her and gave her instructions on how to operate it. Whaehonah was grateful for Thyntiuos giving her the car to drive.

It was gonna be a long trip to the next address, so driving would allow her to travel a lot easier. The next address was in a wasteland of a town. Whaehonah could tell something massive wrecked the town and she knew it wasn't an ersa or anything of this world, it looked like the work of something from a horror story she had read in the past. Whaehonah of course didn't care about that and continued her search for the second address. She drove around the wrecked town for a good while and saw mostly ruins, buildings without roofs, foundations of buildings and buildings that had burned down, not much of the town was left after whatever had paid it a visit. She did eventually find the address she was looking for, a rundown house that seemed untouched by the thing that destroyed the rest of the town and stopped in front of it, then proceeded to the doorway where the door was and tapped on the door facing. She saw a pony walking towards the doorway. A red and blue earth pony mare with a purple mane and tail. Whaehonah didn't even have to introduce herself for this mare to know who she was looking at. "Hi Whaehonah, I'm Senthrio, your sister. What happened to you? You just left us and we didn't know what happened except for what your mom wrote me in her letters. Tell me everything." Whaehonah had no idea how to respond and just let Senthrio invite her in. They sat down at an old blood stained table and Whaehonah told Senthrio the story of what happened. "Well it sounds like we have similar pasts. You were pushed to the breaking point and I came close to having a similar situation." Senthrio said spastically. Whaehonah did have one question in need of an answer, what was her sister doing in a rundown wasted town like this? "So why are you living in an old town like this?" she asked. "Well, I left ponyville, found this place, saw that there was no population, chose a house and decided to live here. I read about a legend that tells the story behind this town and figured nopony would ever come here, nopony else except for you has shown up." Senthrio explained. Whaehonah asked the name of the town but Senthrio had long forgotten the name but Whaehonah was also curious about what wrecked the town and proceeded with her next question. "What happened here?" Whaehonah asked "All I know is a black earth pony stallion caused the town's wreckage." Senthrio explained further. Whaehonah couldn't believe her ears, an earth pony destroyed the town. Whaehonah didn't think about it too much, because whatever happened here was too deep in the pages of history to worry about. After discussing other things with her sister Whaehonah had grown tired and drove over to a nearby motel. She looked for a room that was untouched by whoever destroyed the town but couldn't find one in tact. She then walked next door to the police station which was in better shape except for having no roof but a couple cells that still had tops and had some beds, blankets and pillows. Whaehonah picked the one in the best of condition and went to bed for the night.

In the middle of the night, Whaehonah was awoken by somepony walking down the street. She got up and peered out a window and saw a figure walking towards the car. What gave it away that it wasn't here sister was the fact that the figure had a cutie mark. The figure stopped and looked towards the window. Whaehonah didn't know this pony and hid under the front desk. The figure walked into the doorway of the station and began looking around as if it was scanning for her, it then walked towards where Whaehonah was hiding and spoke "There's no way you can hide from me Whaehonah." it had the voice of a stallion, and spoke as if it knew exactly what she was thinking when she was thinking it. "You are wise to fear me Whaehonah." said the pony. Whaehonah knew he was reading her thoughts and decided to just come out from hiding hoping this pony was not as big of a threat as she thought. "Please don't hurt me, I'm just trying to meet my other family members." Whaehonah pleaded "I know, but I need a better reason to spare your life." the pony demanded. "Please don't hurt me? You don't know what I've been through." Whaehonah begged for her life "I see you were bullied and called a cannibal in school, and you ran out of the town called ponyville. Fine, I'll let you live, this one time. I'm just passing through this shitty town anyway and want to leave it as soon as possible." The pony left and Whaehonah got in the car and drove to the third address on her list, she didn't want to stay here any longer.

When she got out of the town, she stopped in front of the sign to see if she could read it, the letters were hardly visible due to the wood being extremely old and almost totally rotted, however, she managed to make out half the name, (Pova) "I wonder what that used to say." She said curiously to herself. After driving for miles north without stopping for much, Whaehonah found the house past the Crystal Empire, she drove up to it and proceeded to the door. She knocked and stepped back since her mother mentioned that Chamincio was a bit more strange than the other members of the family. After hearing a load of locks being undone Chamincio finally opened the door. "Who are you?" He said. Whaehonah once again introduced herself and Chamincio then changed his attitude a little bit. "What brings you here?" he asked. Whaehonah told him everything expecting Chamincio to want to share his part, but he only apologized and told her to have a good evening. So Whaehonah just went back to the car and went to the final destination close to the changeling hive. When she arrived, Wjanbranth was already outside, so she just went over and introduced herself. "How are you?" he asked "I'm good." she said. "So, what is that awesome contraption you've got?" he asked. "It's called a car, Thyntiuos built it." Whaehonah explained. Wjanbranth did not doubt Whaehonah for a second. "So, he actually pulled it off." he said. Whaehonah and Wjanbranth had a good conversation for a while before she had to leave.

Whaehonah went back to ponyville to return the car to her brother and got an unexpected response instead of a thank you. "You keep it, I built this one, I can build another one." Thyntiuos said returning the keys. "Consider it a belated birthday gift." he explained. Whaehonah couldn't think of anything to say that could possibly describe how thoughtful she was, instead she just gave Thyntiuos a big smile, that was all he needed for a thanks.

Author's Note

The town that Senthrio lives in is not something that I came up with all by my lonesome. It's actually where someone else's oc is from.

The search continues

After driving around Povania for an hour, Whaehonah finally found what she was looking for, a rotted sign just barely read, (Town Hall). Whaehonah didn’t know what she was going to find, if anything, she still proceeded to go inside and search for the answer she was trying to find.

“Alright, lets see if this place has anything that can tell me who this pony is.” She said to herself.

Whaehonah practically turned each file cabinet inside out looking for anything that could lead her to the name of the cloaked pony. She went through each file cabinet with no luck, ready to give up, she noticed a desk in the back office that was yet to be scrounged through.

“Jackpot.” She told herself

She turned each drawer into a disaster and found two folders with the same last name, one had the cutie mark of the cloaked pony and it read Inky Hearts and the other one had the first name smudged yet the last name was still Hearts. Whaehonah took both folders to the car and took off back to her home in the everfree forest. As Whaehonah was driving back home she noticed the same cloaked pony walking through the bushes in the forest, and as much as she wanted to pullover and talk to him, her mind was screaming at her not to. Whaehonah just continued to drive to her cave, ignoring him, knowing she had his name and possibly the rest of what happened to the old town in both the book, the two folders and possibly somewhere in that old town.

Upon returning home the pony was seen once again walking in the direction of the cave, as much as she wanted to get out and go inside her mind told her to just stay in the car. The windows of the car were dark enough where nopony could see in, but she knew that this pony could read minds, so Whaehonah did the only thing she could think of and cleared her mind completely. When the pony passed her and disappeared into the woods she finally began thinking again and felt relieved since keeping her mind completely blank caused her to have a migraine. Whaehonah fell asleep in the car that night.

Author's Note

Inky Hearts is Sparrow’s oc and in my oc’s backstory just so happened to appear. I don’t want to read anything about characters being stolen.

The traveling

After finding out who the cloaked pony was, Whaehonah decided that she needed a vacation away from the woods and the old town. She learned of a beautiful city on a mountain by eavesdropping on a conversation in ponyville. Whaehonah normally wouldn’t go into ponyville, but since nothing could see into the car, she didn’t see a problem with going into town as long as she was in her car. Deciding to go to the city called Canterlot, she gathered her necessities, got into the car and drove off. She went into ponyville to see about directions, hoping to find somepony who wouldn’t recognize her voice. Whaehonah spotted a rich looking pony, she pulled up next to the rich pony and rolled her window down just enough so she could talk to the pony.

“Sir, would you happen to know how I get to Canterlot?” She asked

“Yes mam, just head north, go up the mountain until you see the white and gold stone gate.” The pony said looking at the car with curiosity.

“Thank you.” Whaehonah replied.

Whaehonah pulled the compass out of her bag and placed it on the seat next to her. She drove out of ponyville and headed north along the train tracks, even though it wasn’t the safest thing to do, she still did it. She arrived in Canterlot without any issue. No issue until she almost hit a young mare, a young mare with a grass green coat and a brown mane and tail, she didn’t hit her but she brought the car to a skidding halt. Since nopony here would recognize her, she got out to check on the pony who was still standing there shaking.

“Are you alright mam?” Whaehonah asked

“Yes, but you almost hit me with that contraption of yours.” The pony replied

“I’m sorry mam, I should’ve been paying more attention, I didn’t intend to hit you.” Whaehonah apologized

“Well just be careful will you.?” The pony replied

“What’s your name?” Whaehonah asked

“Romance. Why?” She asked

“I’m Whaehonah and I just wanted to know.” Whaehonah introduced herself

“Well you’ve got my name now. Darn it imma be late.” Romance said looking at her watch

“I can give you a ride to your destination if you want.” Whaehonah offered

“No thanks I’ll teleport.” Romance said before vanishing

Whaehonah’s face turned into a look of surprise, she had never seen magic like that, but she still got back in the car and drove off to look for a place to stay for the night.

Whaehonah found an old dilapidated building in a neglected part of the city and prepared it for the night to come. The place was condemned, but Whaehonah didn’t care, it was a place to stay for a while.

After Whaehonah got her room prepared, she decided to look around, she started upstairs. Whaehonah found a couple bags of coins, two boxes of gems and a rusty typewriter, even though the typewriter was pretty useless she decided to take it. Whaehonah loaded her findings into the car and went back inside to search the first floor, she didn’t find anything of interest.

When Whaehonah was done scrounging through the condemned building, she went outside to look around the back of the place. As she rounded the corner, she was attacked, her attacker turned her over, it was a pony dressed in black armor. Whaehonah was having none of this, she threw a heavy punch, knocking the visor off his helmet, she turned the pony over on his back and pulled the helmet off his head, then she proceeded to bite his nose off, the pony screamed and struggled, but Whaehonah proved to be unnaturally strong, she then bit the pony’s throat, ripping his vocal chords out, once the pony was dead, she proceeded to eat him.

After finishing her meal, Whaehonah put the pony’s bones and armor in the back of the car, knowing what she did, she couldn’t let anypony find out. Once night fell, Whaehonah went to bed, but it wasn’t a restful night. The second she fell asleep, something didn’t feel right, Whaehonah felt like she was being watched, both in her sleep and in real life. Whaehonah woke up and walked out of the room, she looked down the hallway and could’ve swore she saw two red eyes looking at her, she went back in the room, grabbed her stuff and proceeded to walk to the front of the building, the whole time she felt like she was being followed, she dared not look back. The second she got outside, she opened the door of the car, put her stuff in and looked at the front door of the building, what she saw would forever haunt her for the rest of her days. It was a badly deformed filly, it had one very short back leg and a hoofless front leg, a paw in place of a front right hoof, it had no lips and it’s tail was long and had the mouth of a tatzelwurm on the end, she got in the car and sped off.

Author's Note

The green mare is not a character of my creation so please don’t give me grief about it.

The traveling 2

After the incident in the condemned building, Whaehonah couldn’t sleep, so she drove around Canterlot, not even caring where she went, she wasn’t scared of the creature in the building, but she still didn’t want anything to do with it.

When morning arrived, Whaehonah was driving up to a hotel, she had been up most of the night and was really tired, so she didn’t see a problem with checking into a room. She had the gold coins in the back seat of the car and figured that they must be a form of payment, so she grabbed the bag of coins, put it in her saddle bag and went inside. Even though this was her first time actually checking into a hotel room, she knew it required payment, but she still didn’t know what all she had to do. She walked up to the desk and asked about renting a room. The mare at the desk looked at her and noticed her teeth while she was talking and gave Whaehonah a look of concern. Whaehonah noticed this and asked what was going on.

“What’s wrong” Whaehonah asked

The pony at the desk just gave her another look of concern and replied.

“You’re teeth. They’re sharp.” She replied

“Yeah they’ve been that way since I started teething. Even my adult teeth grew sharp. What’s wrong?” Whaehonah replied

“You’re a monster!” The desk pony responded

Whaehonah was offended by the pony’s rush to judgment and unprofessional behavior. She didn’t even care about asking for a manager and just went back to the car and drove off.
She eventually found another abandoned house on the old side of Canterlot. She knew from the condition of the house that nopony was living there and what made it even more obvious, was the fact that the door was boarded up from the outside.
Whaehonah knocked the boards off and proceeded to open the door and walk inside. When she got into the house, the smell hit her, it was definitely the smell of death. Even though it was unpleasant she decided to follow the smell to its source. Whaehonah followed the smell into the bathroom, and when she walked into the bathroom, she immediately gagged, on the toilet, was a young mare with her stomach and intestines cut out and placed right in front of her, she had only half of her face and her left back leg was cut off and placed in the bathtub. Whaehonah struggled to keep her food down, but she knew that this had to be reported, so she decided to go put in an anonymous report of a murder at the address, only problem was, she had no idea where to go, to report something like this. A pony that was walking by saw her gagging and asked her what was wrong and she replied with an answer that startled the pony.

“Dead pony in the bathroom of that house.” She said while still gagging.

“What?” The pony replied

“Somepony was murdered in that house.” She answered.

“Oh my gosh. Murdered?” The pony said with a frightened expression.

“Yes, where do I give an anonymous report?” She asked.

“The Canterlot police station.” The pony said pointing in the direction of the station.

Whaehonah got in the car and drove to the police station. When she got to the station, Whaehonah went straight to the desk and gave her report. The mare at the desk was shocked, they hadn’t gotten any murder reports in years. After giving the information she had, Whaehonah got back in the car and left.

Whaehonah eventually found another place to stay on the other side of Canterlot, she went inside and this place was definitely a mess, but at least there was no smell of death in the air. She found the master bedroom and settled down for a nap.

The next day, Whaehonah decided to take a drive down restaurant road. For breakfast, she figured a bowl of grits would be good enough to start her day.

She drove up to a place called the tasty treat. Whaehonah grabbed her bag of bits, went inside and sat down at a table. Shortly after she sat down, the waitress approached her table and gave her the breakfast menu. She looked through it, but everything looked really good, she found it hard to decide on just one dish. The waitress returned a few minutes later to give her a glass of water and take her order. Whaehonah gave her order.

“Yes, I’ve decided to go with a bowl of cheese grits and some biscuits with tomato gravy please.” She said giving the menu back to the waitress.

“Thank you, your order will be on its way shortly.” The waitress replied.

Whaehonah sat at her table and drank her water while she waited for her food to arrive. A good fifteen minutes went by and the waitress brought her food out and placed it on the table, then refilled her water glass. Whaehonah was very impressed with the food and the service, she thoroughly enjoyed her food, down to the last bite. When her plate was cleared, she left a five bit tip and overpaid her bill. She walked back to the car and drove back to the condemned house she was staying in.

Author's Note

Some are nice, others are very judgmental, no matter how others see you, don’t feel like you’re the only one being ridiculed for being different, because it happens to many.

The Canterlot Life

Whaehonah sat down on the ripped up couch reading a book she found in the kitchen, the book was in old ponish so she wasn’t entirely sure what was being said, it was entertaining to her though. While she was sitting there reading, she started hearing some pounding on the front door, she went to see what was going on and to her surprise, it was a Canterlot police officer, Whaehonah opened the door and asked what was going on.

“Yes officer.” She said

“Mam, are you aware that this place is condemned?” The officer asked

“Yes. Why?” Whaehonah asked

“Mam, you can’t stay here. This place is unsafe, it’s full of mold and there’s been cases of fleas, ticks, bedbugs and lice in here.” The officer replied

“But no hotels would let me check in, they ridiculed me because of my teeth.” She explained

“You can’t stay here though.” The officer said trying to direct Whaehonah out of the building

Whaehonah didn’t care if the place was condemned, she had nowhere else to stay in Canterlot. An idea formed in her head, police officers are trained to pursue suspects or criminals, so if she ran, the officer would follow her. Whaehonah slammed the door in the officer’s face and then booked it for the back door, the officer right behind her. Whaehonah got to the backyard and waited next to the doorway for the officer to step outside, when he did, Whaehonah jumped him, immediately biting his vocal cords out, blood spilling out of his throat, she then proceeded to bite his spine right below his neck, paralyzing him so he couldn’t move. Whaehonah went and got in the car, she started it up and backed it up into the backyard so that when she was finished with the police officer, she could put his remains in the back. Whaehonah got out of the car and began devouring the police officer until he was nothing but a pile of bones, she put the skeletal remains of the police officer in the back of the car and drove off to find another place to stay.

Whaehonah drove around until night time and was growing very tired, she could already hear her stomach finishing off the cop, and it was making her tired. She eventually found an empty lot across from an old school building and pulled in so she could get some sleep, she shut the car off and went to sleep for the night.

The next morning, Whaehonah got a knock on her car door, she opened the door and standing there was a young stallion.

“What can I do for you?” Whaehonah asked

“What is this thing?” The stallion asked

“It’s called a car, my brother built it for me.” Whaehonah answered

“It looks scary but awesome.” The stallion replied

“Thanks.” Whaehonah replied with a smile

The stallion took a good look at Whaehonah’s smile and noticed her teeth right away.

“What are you?” The stallion asked in fear

“I’m a pegasus mare.” Whaehonah said in frustration

“You have sharp teeth.” The stallion replied

“I was born this way, I can’t help it.” Whaehonah said getting angry

“Don’t eat me, please.” The stallion said frightened

Whaehonah didn’t even reply to this, she just slammed the car door, started the car and drove off. Whaehonah didn’t even care about having a destination, all she cared about was being respected. Eventually, Whaehonah saw the same mare she spoke to when she arrived in Canterlot. She opened the window and stuck her head out.

“Hey.” Whaehonah yelled out

“Oh, you again.?” Romance replied

“You look exhausted. Do you need a lift?” Whaehonah asked

“No thanks I’ll be fine on my own.” Romance answered

“Alright, I just figured I’d offer, just trying to be nice.” Whaehonah responded

“I’m just not comfortable riding in the same machine that almost killed me.” Romance answered again

Whaehonah didn’t argue and just drove off. After driving around for a little while, she started getting thirsty, it had been a whole night and morning since she had something to drink, she drove up to the nearby coffee shop, got out of the car and went inside, as long as she didn’t smile she figured nothing would be said about her. She walked up to the counter. The cashier pony seemed busy, but she didn’t stay that way for long.

“How can I help you today mam?” The cashier asked holding a quill and notepad

“Can I get a dark coffee, no sugar please?” Whaehonah asked

“Anything else you would like to add?” The cashier asked writing Whaehonah’s order down on the paper

“Yes, could I get two cookies with that?” She asked giving a closed mouth smile

“Alright. That’ll be seven bits” the cashier said

Whaehonah gave the cashier ten bits seven for her order and three more as a tip.

“Alright, here’s your coffee and two cookies, enjoy.” The cashier

Whaehonah went over to a booth in the back of the shop to enjoy her coffee and cookies hoping it would be quiet. As soon as she took a bite of the first cookie, the green mare she met at the intersection walked to the booth in front of hers and sat down with a white pegasus stallion. The two of them started talking loud. Whaehonah began looking around for any seat possible to get away from them, but all the other tables were occupied by couples or families. Whaehonah decided to say something to romance and the stallion.

“Excuse me, you two are right across from each other, do you have to talk so loud.?” Whaehonah said in frustration

“Oh, I’m sorry, we’ll be a little quieter.” The stallion apologized

“Thanks.” Whaehonah said going back to her coffee and cookies

The couple went back to talking, getting back to the loud volume they were talking at before Whaehonah asked them to quiet down. Whaehonah didn’t intervene this time, she just got up from her booth and went outside and finished her coffee and cookies in her car. She opened the car windows and went back to her snack. Once her coffee and cookies were gone she started the car and prepared to drive off, but she was stopped by the same stallion from the coffee shop.

“Hey, wait.” The stallion said holding up a hoof and walking over to the window next to her

“Yes?” She asked

“I’m sorry we were being loud, we couldn’t help it.” The stallion replied

“How could you not help it?” She asked

“You know how couples in love are.” The stallion said looking over the hood of car at romance

“No I don’t actually.” Whaehonah replied, surprising the stallion outside the car

“Where have you been to not know about couples in love?” The stallion asked in surprise

“I just don’t know about couples or love.” She stated

“Well you’re missing quite a bit. I’m Sonic by the way.” The stallion said introducing himself

“I’m Whaehonah.” She said introducing herself in return

Romance hadn’t said anything through the entire conversation, she just looked at Sonic with an impatient look on her face.

“Well, have a good day mam.” Sonic said walking away from the car and back over to romance.

Whaehonah was glad to finally be able to leave. She drove back to the empty lot where she had parked earlier.

Author's Note

The two characters name dropped are not mine so I don’t want to be asked about them. RomanceWriter1 is the green mare and Sonicgamerbrony is the white stallion from the coffee shop.

Canterlot stress

Once at the empty lot, Whaehonah put her head down in the center of the steering wheel of the car and was immediately jolted up by a really loud noise that resembled the sound of a party air horn, only this sound was deeper and louder than a party horn, she pressed her hoof against the center of the steering wheel and the same noise erupted from the car. Whaehonah didn’t know what to think, why would Thyntiuos put something like this in one of his inventions, she figured that this must be some kind of warning system or something, she would ask Thyntiuos about it when she sees him again.

After sitting in the empty lot for an hour, Whaehonah decided to go to another hotel, she wasn’t going back to the same one where she tried to stay due to her first attempt, she would go to one on the north side of Canterlot instead.

Whaehonah drove up to the hotel on the north end, shut off the car, got out and went inside. She approached the counter and asked for a room.

“Excuse me sir, do you have any rooms available?” She asked

“We have a couple left.” The desk pony answered.

“Which ones?” Whaehonah asked

“We have rooms twenty two and twenty three.” The desk pony replied pulling out two sign in sheets

Whaehonah signed the paper for room twenty two, pulled out her bag of bits and waited for the price.

“Alright madame, that’s gonna be two bits.” The desk pony said taking the paper back

Whaehonah didn’t question the price and gave the desk pony the two bits owed and got the key.

When she got to the room and opened the door, she was shocked by the sight, how was all this luxury only worth two bits.? Whaehonah didn’t care enough to dwell on the question, she just went to the kitchen and got a glass of water.
She sat down in a chair with her water and the book she got from the condemned house the day prior and relaxed.

A few minutes into her story she began hearing some voices, she couldn’t understand what they were saying, but she heard them. Whaehonah shrugged it off as a conversation outside the room and went back to her book.

A few more minutes went by and music started blaring from the phonograph in the master bedroom, Whaehonah jumped and ran right into the room, picked up the needle, took the record off the turntable, sat it aside and went back to her book. Things went through her head about that one, the arm on the phonograph wasn’t loose enough to drop down onto the record by itself, even if it was then how did the turntable get unlocked, it takes a pony to wind and start the turntable on that type of record player, and that one just started playing by itself. Things were starting to get strange, but Whaehonah didn’t want to let something as little as phonograph playing by itself ruin her stay at a luxury hotel.

Later that evening, Whaehonah was getting ready for bed, she had just washed the shampoo out of her mane, she looked up and saw the silhouette of a stallion staring at her, Whaehonah jumped out of the shower at it, but when she landed on the floor, she looked around for it but there was nothing there. Whaehonah was getting angry, but she decided to let it go for now and just dried off so she could go to bed and get some sleep.

Whaehonah was awoken by the sound of hoof steps in her room, she sat up to look around, the steps were right in front of the bed, she reached over to turn on the side table lamp, but it was dead, she felt something get up on the bed. Whaehonah wasn’t ready for whatever this thing had in mind, she struggled to get out of bed. The entity pinned her to the bed, it felt like whatever was holding her down started raping her, nothing she did seemed to get the spirit away from her until she started tossing things off the side table and ended up throwing a bible at it. The entity backed away with a blood curdling scream that resembled that of a dragon in distress. When it backed into the bathroom, Whaehonah left the apartment and ran to the car, got in and fell asleep.

The next morning, the desk pony that checked Whaehonah into the room woke her up knocking on the car window, she rolled the window down and asked what was going on.

“What is it?” Whaehonah asked tiredly

“I’m just checking on you, the ponies next door said they heard you last night, they said it sounded like you were fighting.” The pony said in concern.

“Just a bad night “ She lied

“Okay, as long as you’re alright.” The pony replied.

Whaehonah started the car and drove to the coffee shop for a couple cups of coffee and a snack, she didn’t even want to think about last night, that was too much for her.

First and last genuine sad feelings

On her way to the coffee shop, a young orange dragon walked out in front of her, Whaehonah put her hoof down on the horn, but it was too late, she hit the dragon. She immediately stopped the car, got out and ran over to the young dragon.

“Are you alright?!” Whaehonah said fearing the worst.

“It hurts to move.” The young dragon said in pain

Whaehonah picked up the dragon and put her in the back seat of the car, strapped her in and sped off towards Canterlot hospital. Staccato honking could be heard from the car the whole trip.

They arrived at Canterlot ER, Whaehonah got the dragon out and rushed inside.

“HELP, HELP, we need urgent attention.” Whaehonah yelled

Four nurses quickly came with a stretcher and took the dragon.

“What happened?” A nurse asked putting a resuscitation pump over the dragon’s mouth

“An accident, my brother built a car for me and on my way to the coffee shop she walked out in front of me.” Whaehonah said frantically

“She’s losing her breath, we need to get her on oxygen now!” Another nurse yelled out.

Whaehonah felt bad for the young dragon, she only wanted to get a couple cups of coffee and instead of making coffee in the apartment, she felt the need to drive over to the coffee shop. Multiple things went through her mind, why did she drive instead of going to her apartment, what could she have done differently that could have changed this, why a young dragon, why couldn’t she have just been paying attention, all these things and then some rushed through her head.
One thing’s for sure, she didn’t need coffee anymore, she was definitely wide awake now.

Whaehonah sat down in the waiting room, she didn’t want to leave until she knew whether or not the dragon was going to be alright. She sat in the waiting room for a half hour until a nurse came up and gave her the news.

“You’re the one who brought the dragon in right?” The nurse asked

“Yes, I’m Whaehonah, is she gonna be alright.?” Whaehonah asked

“She’s fine for now, but if you hadn’t gotten her here as fast as you did she wouldn’t be.” The nurse replied

“What’s going on?” Whaehonah asked in fear

“She’s got two broken ribs and a deflated lung, we’re doing our best to fix her and keep her alive, but we won’t know if she’ll live until we get done. It’s best just to wait and see.” The nurse explained

Whaehonah couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

“We’ll do our best, we can’t guarantee anything but we’ll do our best.” The nurse said putting a hoof on Whaehonah’s chin.

“Don’t let her die, please.” Whaehonah said crying

“We can’t promise that, but we will try and keep her alive.” The nurse reassured

After her attempts to calm the crying mare, the nurse noticed something happening to Whaehonah, heart failure in progress. Whaehonah fell to the floor holding her chest, the nurse called code six, the code for a heart failure.

Whaehonah woke up five days later, she looked up and saw three nurses standing over her.

“Oh good, you’re awake.” A nurse said in relief

“What happened?” Whaehonah asked

“You almost died. Heart failure, it took forever to stop it.” The second nurse replied.

“Definitely our first case of a broken heart syndrome in years.” Nurse one brought up

“Is the dragon alright?” Whaehonah asked

“She’s fine, she’s resting but she’ll live.” Nurse three said

“Oh thank goodness.” Whaehonah said in relief

Those words had relieved her, but until she saw with her own eyes, it wouldn’t be enough.

“Can I see her?” She asked

“You need to rest right now. We need to make sure that you’ll be stable enough to leave first. We’ll keep you updated if that’ll make you feel better.” Nurse two replied.

Whaehonah nodded and laid her head back down. She went back to sleep, but her night was rough, the same thing replayed over and over, the events of what happened. Eventually a figure appeared and approached her. The figure was a type of pony she had never seen before, she was a pegasus and a unicorn.

“A warm welcome to you, Whaehonah.” A voice said

“Who are you?” Whaehonah asked

“I’m princess Luna. I’m here to help you. I know what you’re going through, you feel pain for hurting that dragon.” Princess Luna said putting a hoof on Whaehonah’s chin.

“I feel terrible about it, I should have just made coffee in the apartment.” She replied

“You shouldn’t dwell on it, things will only get worse for you that way.” Princess Luna assured

“Well it’s too much for me, I can’t stand the thought of killing a young dragon.” She replied

“I understand, it’s not the easiest thing to deal with, but thinking about it all the time will only make you feel worse.” Princess Luna replied.

“What do I do?” She asked

“Just let her get better, when she’s healed, apologize.” The Princess recommended before backing out of the dream.

Whaehonah thought for a moment before waking up the next morning, the princess was right, but how could she stop thinking about it, the pain was too much to begin with, so how could she deal with it now. Her question was answered soon after thinking about it. A nurse brought the young dragon in hooked to an oxygen tank.

“I heard you wanted to see me.” Said the young dragon

“Yes, I’m so sorry for hitting you with my car, are you going to be alright? I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what happened.” Whaehonah said starting to shed tears

“I’ll be alright, I heard about what happened with you, broken heart syndrome, I can’t believe the incident punished both of us. I’m Smolder by the way.” The dragon said introducing herself

“I’m the one who should be punished, I drove while tired and it landed both of us in the hospital.” Whaehonah said

“Don’t blame yourself for all of this, I shouldn’t have walked into the street without looking first, you’re not looking at what I did to cause this or what you did to save my life, if you hadn’t rushed me here, I wouldn’t even be alive right now. Look at the positives, not just the negatives.” Smolder explained

“I never thought of that.” She replied

“I learned that from Princess Twilight’s school of friendship, I also learned that you shouldn’t beat yourself up all the time when something bad happens.” Smolder replied

“I’m so glad you’re gonna be alright, I don’t know about myself, but I’m more concerned about you.” Whaehonah replied

“I don’t want you to beat yourself up over this, sure you shouldn’t have been tired while operating that thing, but I made a mistake too and it led us here, we both messed up, not just you.” Smolder replied walking closer to Whaehonah

“I’m just glad you’re gonna be alright.” She replied

The two had a conversation for a half hour before the nurses had to separate them due to visitation time running out. Whaehonah was relieved that Smolder was gonna live and had a better night’s rest this time. The next morning she was feeling better and was hoping to be released, but when she asked about it, she wasn’t happy with the answer she got.

“Looks like you are getting better Whaehonah.” A nurse said

“Good, does this mean I can leave?” She asked

“Actually, we don’t know if you’ll be alright in public, so you’re gonna have to stay for a while, but the dragon made a full recovery and is ready go, isn’t that great.?” The nurse replied

“It’s amazing that Smolder, recovered from her injuries and I’m glad, but I’ll be fine.” Whaehonah replied

“We still need to run some more tests to make sure things will still be alright when you leave.” The nurse said looking at her clipboard

Whaehonah started getting angry with this response.

“I’m pretty sure I’ll be fine.” She replied in frustration

“We don’t know that yet.” The nurse replied just making Whaehonah even more frustrated.

The nurse left and Whaehonah started forming a plan in her mind. A plan of escape and revenge.

The same nurse came into her room to take her vitals, but when she got in the room, Whaehonah wasn’t in her bed. The door shut behind the nurse and Whaehonah attacked. Whaehonah bit the nurse’s vocal cords out so she couldn’t call for help, then bit her spine below her neck so she couldn’t move. Once the nurse was down, Whaehonah went and locked the door so she wouldn’t be disturbed and then went back to the nurse and proceeded with her meal. When she got done eating the nurse, Whaehonah grabbed the trash can from the corner of her room and put the skeletal remains of the nurse in it, she then broke the window and flew out with the trash can in her hooves. She flew over to her car, put the trash can in the back, got in, started the car and drove off. Since this wouldn’t go unnoticed, Whaehonah knew she couldn’t stay in Canterlot, so she drove as fast as she could, right past the gate guards and out of Canterlot. She didn’t even care about a destination or anything at the moment, she just wanted to get to a secluded area.

Whaehonah found an area just below a city called Cloudsdale, she parked the car and went to sleep.

On the run part two

Whaehonah started to look around the old town, even though she had looked through a few buildings before, she hadn’t been in all of them, she drove around parts of the town she hadn’t been to every place. Most of the buildings were almost nothing but frames and some parts of walls, but she did notice some stuff in these remains of old buildings, she looked through a few of them and found mostly junk, but one item in an old library caught her eyes, it was an old typewriter with paper still fed through it, the paper was dusty, but it did have something printed on it. Whaehonah brought the dusty typewriter to the car and put it in the back seat and drove off.

While on the road towards her sister’s house, she spotted three fillies walking down the road, they didn’t seem to be walking in a specific direction, so she pulled up carefully and asked them what they were doing.

“Hello young ponies, what are y’all doing in this old town?” Whaehonah asked

“We’re just exploring.” One of the fillies answered

“Well just beware, some places in this town are dangerous. Some of the buildings seem to have pretty weak ceilings that could collapse.” Whaehonah said warning the fillies

“We’ll be careful.” Another one of the fillies replied

“What’s your name?” The third filly asked

“I’m Whaehonah, what are your names.?” She replied introducing herself

“I’m Applebloom, this is Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.” Applebloom answered

“Well it was nice to meet you three.” Whaehonah said preparing to drive off

“Wait, what’s that cool contraption?” Scootaloo asked

“It’s called a car.” She replied

“Ooooh, can we have a ride?” Applebloom asked

“I guess so.” She answered reaching over to open the other door

The three fillies got in the car and Whaehonah drove around the town for a while before the three said that they needed to get home.

“Excuse me, Whaehonah, could you take us home? My sister is gonna be worried about us if we don’t get home soon and it’s getting pretty dark.” Applebloom said, looking out the window on Whaehonah’s side.

“Sure, where to.?” Whaehonah asked

“Sweet apple acres, it’s an Apple farm in ponyville.” Scootaloo said

“Alright, I’ll take you there. It doesn’t seem too far.” Whaehonah said and began driving to sweet apple acres

The drive took a bit longer than she thought, but Whaehonah soon found the road that went through an apple orchard and led to a barn.

“Is this the place?” Whaehonah asked

“Yes, this is it.” Applebloom said

As soon as she said that, an orange mare walked out of the barn and expressed a concerned look.

“Uh oh, it’s my sister Applejack.” Applebloom said

Applejack approached the car and knocked on the right side window.

“Hey, who’s in there?” Applejack asked

Whaehonah opened the door on her side and stepped out, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo followed.

“Hello mam, I’m Whaehonah and I was just giving these three a ride home.” She said introducing herself

“Thanks, but Applebloom is the only one that lives here, her friends are just having a sleepover.” Applejack replied

“Alright, well I’ll be going now.” She replied walking back to the car.

“Wait, we’re having supper, do you want to join us?” Applejack offered

“Sure.” Whaehonah accepted

Applejack led Whaehonah into the barn and brought her to the kitchen.

“Hey everypony, we have a guest.” Applejack said introducing Whaehonah to the family

“Hello.” She said

“Well it’s nice to have you over, eh where you from?” Granny Smith said asking a question that got everyone’s curiosity

“I’m from all over pretty much.” She replied

“Well, that’s nice, it’s good to travel every now and then. Now let’s dig in.” Applejack said, placing three plates of flapjacks on the table.

The apple family and Whaehonah then started eating their breakfast for dinner, Whaehonah couldn’t believe the taste that filled her mouth, it was amazing.

“What kind of flapjacks are these?” She asked

“They’re apple fritter flapjacks, made from extra dough from making apple fritters.” Granny Smith answered

“They’re amazing.” Whaehonah replied

The apple family all looked at Whaehonah with smiles on their faces. Whaehonah did her best to keep a mouth closed smile, as to not get the same reaction she got from everypony else who saw her give an open smile.

After the meal was finished,Whaehonah went back to the car, but as she went to open the door to get in, she was stopped by Applebloom.

“Wait, Whaehonah.” She said

“What’s going on?” Whaehonah replied

“I’m just wondering, why didn’t you give a bigger smile?” Applebloom asked

“Do you promise to hear me out if I explain?” She answered

“Yes mam.” Applebloom promised

“Okay. The reason is, well, I was born, different, my teeth are not like everypony else’s.” Whaehonah struggled to say

“What’s so different?” Applebloom asked

“This isn’t something that I like to show.” Whaehonah said, opening her mouth.

“You have sharp teeth?” Applebloom asked in shock

“It’s not something I can help, I was born this way, I was harassed by the other fillies in school because of it.” She explained

“I’ve been harassed before, it’s not fun. I’m guessing you were harassed about your blank flank as well.” Applebloom replied

“No, they didn’t care about that, they only wanted to call me names based on my teeth. Razor tooth was the top name.” She answered

Applebloom couldn’t help but feel bad for Whaehonah. The two ponies had a good long conversation before Whaehonah had to go.

Whaehonah gave Applebloom a friendly hug and said goodbye. She got in the car and began her trip back to Povania, she didn’t know if she would make it, since she was getting kind of tired.

On her way back to Povania, Whaehonah was starting to nod off. She pulled over to get some sleep. There didn’t seem to be anything around, so she shut off the car and went to sleep.

Whaehonah was jolted awake by something banging on the car window. She quickly got up, only to see a group of four royal guards looking into the car with spears pointed at her. One of the guards yelled at her.

“Get out of there, you’re under arrest for the murder of nurse Blueberry.” The guard said

Whaehonah only started the car and put the pedal to the metal. She drifted around in circles killing three of the guards in the process. The fourth guard ran away with a broken wing. Whaehonah chased him, she drove as fast as the car could go, she sounded the horn over and over until she finally ran over the guard, she ran him over again and this time she kept the back wheel on top of the guard and then floored it, grinding him up into nothing but a pile of shredded meat.

After the guards were killed, she decided to take their armor and spears as trophies, she then brought the bodies to some known timber wolf territory and left them there.

Author's Note

I don’t want to see any negative comments about Whaehonah hugging Applebloom, it’s just a friendly hug, nothing should be wrong with a friendship hug.

The first friend

After feeding the royal guards to the timber wolves, Whaehonah figured it was time to get away from the pony population. She remembered that the changeling hive was no longer a bad place, so she decided to see if they could give her a place to stay. Whaehonah drove to the changeling kingdom, but she was unaware of what was following her. Something popped out of the ground in front of the car, there was no thinking about what it was, she had read about this thing before and knew that it was a maulwurf. Whaehonah immediately backed the car up, got out and quickly thought about what she could do to get it out of her way. Something came to mind, but it was pretty stupid. She flew right into its mouth and started eating it from the inside out, when the maulwurf was finally dead, she got out of it and went back to the car, she was stopped though. A changeling flew over to see what was going on.

“I heard something screeching in pain. What happened here?” The changeling said looking at Whaehonah

“That maulwurf attacked me, I did what needed to be done.” She replied pointing at the dead maulwurf carcass

“Wow! How did you do that?” The changeling said in shock

“I ate it’s vital organs.” She answered

“That thing has been after our hive for a while now, I must congratulate you. I’m Pharynx by the way.” The changeling said introducing himself

“I’m Whaehonah, nice to meet you.” She replied

“Come on, you must meet our leader.” Pharynx replied

Whaehonah got in the car and followed Pharynx to the hive, when she got next to the hive, she shut the car off and followed Pharynx to see the leader of the changelings.

“This is my brother Thorax, he’s the leader of the changelings.” Pharynx said introducing Whaehonah to the leader

“Nice to meet you, I’m Whaehonah.” She said introducing herself

“Hi Whaehonah.” Thorax replied

“So, did you find out what that noise was Pharynx?” Thorax asked his brother

“Yes, that’s why I brought this pony in, she eliminated our maulwurf problem for good.” Pharynx announced

Thorax was shocked at the news. He couldn’t believe his ears. The pegasus that was standing in front of him killed the maulwurf?

“This is great! How did you do it?” Thorax said

“I flew into its mouth and ate its vital organs.” She answered

“Well even though it was a gross tactic, it worked, and we can finally live without fear of the maulwurf.” Thorax said congratulating Whaehonah

“How can we ever repay you?” Pharynx asked

“I just need a place to stay.” She replied

“Well, you’ll like it here, we have so many fun things to do.” Thorax said granting permission for Whaehonah to stay at the hive.

Whaehonah was shown a place that was perfect for her, she was amazed at the sight, it was beautiful, natural and the bed was comfortable.

“Oh, one more thing, we also have a group that lets you talk about your feelings and problems without being judged.You can join it any time.” said Thorax

“Thanks.” She replied with a smile

“The group starts in a few minutes, feel free come sit down.” Thorax said giving her the location in the hive

Whaehonah walked around the hive a bit, she met a changeling that had a few things in common with her, they both had a good conversation all the way to the group session.

“So you didn’t have such a good first day of school either huh?” The changeling asked

“No, it was horrible, they teased me like crazy about my sharp teeth, razor tooth being their favorite name to call me.” Whaehonah replied

“Well, my first day was a disaster, this chancellor was so mean to me and four others I met. I’m Ocellus by the way.” The changeling said introducing herself

“Well it’s nice to meet you Ocellus. I’m Whaehonah.” She replied

The two made it to the group and sat down for the session. The host gave the opening speech.

“Welcome to the vent community, here you can talk about your feelings, problems and say a little about yourself, the only rule is to do it calmly.” said the host

Whaehonah had a good feeling about this group, maybe she could get some things off her chest and possibly receive a little advice if possible. The host pointed to her.

“Let’s start with you. What’s your name?” The host said starting the session

“I’m Whaehonah, I have some problems but they don’t involve the changeling kingdom.” She said

“They don’t have to involve the hive or the changelings, we’re listening.” Said the host

“I’ve been through a lot of bad things and done some bad things, I’ve thought about it a good while, but in the past, I’ve killed and ate ponies. I was angry at them and lost my mind, I don’t know why but it happened.” She explained

“Sounds like you do regret your actions in a way. Maybe next time you start getting angry like that, you should just walk away and take some time to cool off before things go too far.” The host commented

Whaehonah thought for a minute about what the host said.

“That may have helped me a lot.” Whaehonah replied

“Yes, next time you should try that, it’s helped many of us.” The host said before going on to the next client

After the group was over, Whaehonah and Ocellus went to hang out and get to know each other more, the two had a great time together, forming a great friendship and even sharing stories from when they were younger. Ocellus was surprised at the story Whaehonah had, but Ocellus had one that surprised Whaehonah just as much.

“So you’re saying that this filly, Cozy Glow, almost drained all the magic from equestria.” Whaehonah said in shock

“Yes, but me and my friends managed to stop her.” Ocellus replied

“These other friends must be amazing. I never really had any friends as a filly.” Whaehonah said lowering her head

“That’s alright, I already consider you a friend.” Ocellus replied putting a hoof on Whaehonah’s chin

“Thanks. I’m glad we met, it’s nice to talk to someone who is willing to listen.” She said giving Ocellus a smile

“Tomorrow, I’ll introduce you to my other friends. You’ll like them, I just don’t know about one of them since she got injured in Canterlot.” Ocellus replied

Whaehonah immediately started to wonder about this friend who got injured in Canterlot.

“Who got injured in Canterlot?” She asked

“Her name is Smolder, she’s a dragon.” Ocellus answered

“I think I’ve met her. Is she an orange dragon?” She asked

“Yes. What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Ocellus replied in concern

“Maybe I have seen a ghost.” She said

“Are you the one she told me about?” Ocellus asked

“Did she tell you what happened?” She asked

“Yes, that a purple pegasus hit her with something called a car and later in the hospital, almost died because of a broken heart.” Ocellus said, noticing Whaehonah’s head going back down

“That was me.” She said looking at the ground

They talked about the situation for a while before they both got tired and made their way back into the hive. Whaehonah went to the room that was given to her and went to bed. It didn’t take long for her to get to sleep due to how soft the bed was, it would be the best night she had in years.

Author's Note

I don’t want to see anything in the comments about shipping or anything else about Whaehonah and Ocellus. It’s just a friendship.

The school

The following day, Whaehonah was awoken by Ocellus buzzing over her bed, she asked what was going on and was reminded of the plans made the night prior.

“Come on, I want to bring you to head mare Twilight’s school of friendship to meet my friends.” Ocellus said trying to get Whaehonah out of bed

“Alright, let’s take my car, it’ll be faster and less tiring.” Whaehonah replied

They got in the car and began their trip to Ponyville. Whaehonah wasn’t crazy about the idea of going to a school, due to her past experience, but she wasn’t going to let that get in the way of having a genuine friendship. They arrived at the school of friendship and were greeted by a white unicorn mare looking at the car with curiosity. The unicorn tapped a hoof on the right side door, Ocellus opened the door and spoke to her.

“Hi professor Rarity.” She said

“Ocellus, what is that thing?” Rarity asked

Whaehonah got out of the car and introduced herself.

“Hello madame, I’m Whaehonah.” She said

“Well hello Whaehonah, what is that thing?” Rarity said pointing at the car

“That’s a car, my brother built it for me.” Whaehonah replied

“It sure is neat, what does it look like inside?” Rarity said hoping to take a look inside the car

“See for yourself.” Whaehonah said granting permission for Rarity to look inside

Rarity looked inside the car and was shocked at what she saw.

“Wow! It’s beautiful!” Rarity exclaimed

“Thanks mam. May I come inside.” She asked

“Sure, right this way.” Rarity said granting permission for Whaehonah to enter the school

Whaehonah walked into the school and Ocellus led her to the area where her friends would likely be. Whaehonah followed Ocellus around the school for a while until they were greeted by a group of young creatures including Smolder.

“Hey everyone, meet Whaehonah.” Ocellus introduced Whaehonah to her friends

The first to introduce themself was a blue griffin

“Hi Whaehonah, I’m Gallus.” Gallus said giving Whaehonah a smile

The next one was an excited pink hippogriff.

“I’m Silverstream, I’m so glad to meet you.” Silverstream said shaking Whaehonah’s hoof

The third was a yak.

“Hi purple pony, I Yona, we happy to have new friend.” Yona said, getting really close to Whaehonah

The last one who had never seen Whaehonah was a greenish yellow pony.

“I’m Sandbar. Nice to see you Whaehonah.” Said Sandbar

After the introduction was over, a purple alicorn walked up and saw them talking to Whaehonah.
She immediately saw that the mare before her wasn’t a student. She approached Whaehonah

“Well hello there. I’m Twilight Sparkle, who are you?” The alicorn said introducing herself

“I’m Whaehonah, Ocellus wanted me to see her friends.” She said trying to keep a closed smile

“Well it’s nice to meet you, are you new to ponyville, I don’t recall seeing you around.?” Twilight asked

“No mam, I’ve been here before, but not for long.” She answered

“Why did you leave?” Twilight asked out of curiosity

Whaehonah told Twilight about what happened, causing the alicorn to shed a tear.

“That’s actually sad. I could give you a place in the school, things will be better here since bullying like that is forbidden.” Twilight said inviting her to join

“I don’t know, I’ll think about it. This place looks nice and those students are a bright bunch, but my history with schools is not pleasant.” She said looking at the six young creatures

“Well if you wanna have at least a day to see how things work out, you can.” Twilight offered

“I, guess that could work. Alright I’ll do that.” She said accepting the offer

Whaehonah started her school of friendship demonstration and so far, things were going pretty smooth. Nothing bad was being said, no nicknames and the blue pegasus mare that was teaching was fun to listen to. The vibes were definitely better at this school than at Cheerilee’s school, this one just might work out.
The other classes were definitely a blast, Whaehonah didn’t feel out of place here, nothing bad was said about her teeth when she gave an open smile, the place just was very welcoming.
When the school day ended, she was asked about how it went.

“So how was your day at the school of friendship?” Twilight asked

“Better than my experience at Cheerilee’s school.” She replied

“Do you think you would like to be entered into the school?” Twilight asked

“Sure.” She said, accepting the place at the school of friendship.

Whaehonah wasn’t just given classes but a room as well as access to the school library. She went to the car and grabbed a few things that she found in Povania, the dusty typewriter, some notepads, a quill and three inkwells. She brought these items into the room she was given, she arranged them as best she could and went back to the car. Whaehonah drove over to see Thyntiuos and asked him a few things about the car that she had been wanting to know for a while.
Upon arriving at Thyntiuos’s house, Whaehonah noticed that the trash pony was almost at his place, so she opened the back of the car, grabbed the vacuum she had used to clean the back of the car and put it in Thyntiuos’s trash can and went to talk to him. She knocked a few times then heard a noise from the work shed.

“What in the hay is that?” She said to herself before walking to back yard

She went to the shed and took a peek inside. Inside the shed was another machine being made, it looked like it was meant to be another car, only this one was the color of candy apples with a white top on it. Whaehonah knocked on the door of the shed a couple times before Thyntiuos answered.

“Hi Whaehonah.” He said

“Hey Thyntiuos. What’s that?” Whaehonah said asking about the red machine

“Another car, it’s still a work in progress.” He answered

“Speaking of cars, why is there an extremely loud version of a party horn in the car you gave me and what is it made of?” Whaehonah asked

“It’s body is made of one gauge thick metal and the windows are made of a half inch thick glass that cannot be penetrated, as for the horn, it’s just something I found and put in for fun.” He explained

Whaehonah was happy to hear that she would be safe in the car, but she still wondered why Thyntiuos was building another one.

“So, why are you building another car?” She asked

“I’m building another one because I want to be able to give tired ponies a ride if they need it. Plus I don’t like taking the train to certain places.” Thyntiuos said pulling tape off of a chrome and white stripe that went down the side of the new car.

“Well it was nice to see you again bro, have a good evening.” Whaehonah said, going back to her car

Whaehonah went back to the school of friendship, shut the car off and went to sleep.

In case anyone is wondering what Whaehonah’s brother is doing, he’s basically an inventor.

The pardon and problems that follow

The next morning, Whaehonah was once again awoken by someone knocking on her car door, another five guards were standing outside the car trying to place her under arrest. Whaehonah was hoping that the case had been dropped, but the guards surrounding her car made it obvious that the case was still on. Before Whaehonah could do anything to leave, Twilight Sparkle arrived and began talking to the guards.

“Excuse me, what seems to be the problem sir?” She asked

“The pony in this thing is wanted for cannibalism, your majesty.” The guard said looking back at the car

Twilight thought about this for a moment, then an idea began to form. Twilight didn’t want Whaehonah to face the punishment for cannibalism, since she saw potential in her.

“I want you to drop the charges this one time, I have plans for this pony.” She demanded

“Yes your majesty.” The guard said, bowing before leaving

Whaehonah was overjoyed at this, but she still knew that there was a catch.

“Thanks Twilight, I’m glad you saved me, but what’s the catch.?” Whaehonah said getting out of the car

“I’m not asking for anything in return, but I would like an explanation for you eating other ponies.” Twilight said putting a hoof on Whaehonah’s shoulder

Whaehonah gave her explanation and it sent chills down Twilight’s spine, just the thought of eating another pony was enough to make her quiver in disgust, but she knew there was good in Whaehonah, and she would do her best to make sure history doesn't repeat itself.

“Well I hope you’ve learned your lesson from all this.” Twilight said walking Whaehonah into the school

“I have.” She answered

“Well it’s time for class now, Rainbow Dash is waiting for you.” Twilight said gesturing to Rainbow’s classroom.

Whaehonah went to class and took a seat between Ocellus and Smolder. Almost every student looked at Whaehonah, and in the hallway going to the next class, they began asking her why she was surrounded by the royal guards as well as questions about the car. She didn’t want to discuss the situation with the guards but she did tell them about the car. The students were disappointed about not being told why the guards were surrounding her but they all liked what she told them about the car and were all interested in learning more about it. They arrived at the next class and Whaehonah already didn’t like what the assignment was.

“Alright everypony, today’s assignment is like a game of truth or dare, but without the dare. Each one of you will ask the one next to you a question and they have to answer in truth, each one who gives a genuine answer gets an apple fritter. So let’s start with you Sand Bar.” Applejack said explaining the assignment

“Alright, Whaehonah, why were you surrounded by guards?” Sand Bar asked

“Can I please please skip this one Applejack?” Whaehonah asked

“You could, but it wouldn’t look good on your first report card.” Applejack replied

“Alright, I was wanted for cannibalism.” Whaehonah answered

Applejack gave Whaehonah an apple fritter for her honesty, but then the whole class started giving her some strange looks. Applejack saw this and was not pleased with everyone looking at Whaehonah this way.

“Alright y’all, this is not the way we look at others. It’s in her past and it’s time for us to move on.” Applejack said getting everyone back on track

After honesty class, everyone still looked at Whaehonah like she was a monster and many even avoided her like the horsey hives, some even called her the school cannibal, everyone except for Ocellus and her friends wanted nothing to do with her. Twilight saw Whaehonah walking down the hallway to the next class with her head down and felt the need to check on her.

“Whaehonah, what’s wrong?” Twilight asked

“Nothing.” She replied

“I can tell something’s going on. What is it?” Twilight said still concerned

“I was asked a question in honesty class about why the guards were surrounding me out front and because of my honesty, everyone is looking at me like a monster and calling me the school cannibal.” She answered

“Who asked the question?” Twilight asked

“Sand Bar.” She replied putting her head back down

“I’ll have a meetup to discuss this, go see Starlight in the council office and I’ll get Sand Bar.” Twilight said, pointing Whaehonah in the direction of the council office.

Whaehonah went to the council office and was greeted by Starlight, shortly after the greeting, Twilight stepped in with Sand Bar. The young earth pony expressed a confused look.

“So, what’s going on Whaehonah?” Starlight asked

“Sand Bar asked me a question in honesty class, the question was about why I was being surrounded by the royal guards. I answered in truth because it wouldn’t look good on my report card if I didn’t, now I’m seen as a monster.” Whaehonah answered

“Well, you are a monster for eating another pony.” Sand Bar replied

“Alright, Sand Bar you’re not helping. Now why did you ask such a personal question?” Starlight said, scolding Sand Bar

“Well I was curious, I didn’t know the outcome would be like this.” Sand Bar said getting defensive

“Look, it’s pretty clear she didn’t want to talk about it, I understand curiosity can get the best of somepony, but that’s no reason to embarrass another pony just to get an answer that’s not even important .” Starlight said, getting a little frustrated

“Sand Bar, I understand curiosity is something that can eat away at somepony’s mind, but some things are best left unknown.” Said Whaehonah

The three ponies talked for a while, and Starlight sent them to class.

Later that day, a school meetup was called regarding Whaehonah’s case. Twilight stood silently for a moment before speaking.

“Alright everyone, I have something important to say regarding something that has been going on today. Okay so there has been some harassment going on towards a certain creature that I want to address.” Twilight announced

Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds before she began speaking again.

“Now, I want to put it out there that such behavior will not be tolerated in my school, this is a friendship school and we do not ridicule others for past actions or their differences. That’s all.” Twilight said dismissing the group

The group left and Whaehonah did feel a bit better afterwards but still kept to herself for a while.

Author's Note

Don’t ask about personal problems if you don’t know the individual that well.

The school cannibal

Whaehonah got through the rest of the day without further harassment, but her anger level had risen, not to a dangerous point, though it wasn’t far from it. If she could get through the evening without being harassed, maybe she could chill out and everything will be fine.
Ocellus paid her a visit that same night before they went to bed, curiosity had gotten the best of her and she wanted to know something that nopony even bothered to ask.

“Whaehonah, may I ask you something?” Ocellus asked, trying not to push any limits.
“Sure, go ahead.” Whaehonah said, granting permission for the question.
“What was it that caused you to be a meat eater?” Ocellus asked nervously.
“Well I might as well say it, since everyone at this school knows I eat meat. It started after I ran away from Cheerilee’s school. I had wandered around the everfree forest for a whole afternoon. Night time was approaching so I went into a cave so I could get some sleep, but I was attacked by an ersa minor. I eventually took it down by biting its throat, then I ate what I could because I was hungry after roaming the forest all afternoon.” She explained

This information shocked the young changeling, but then she wanted to know what turned her into a cannibal.

“What caused you to start eating other ponies? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.” Ocellus said expressing another nervous look
“I guess I could explain that. It happened when a pony in armor attacked me in Canterlot, after I got him off of me, I pulled his armor off and ate him. He had to be a criminal anyway, because his armor was black instead of gold, plus it looked like it was customized.” Whaehonah explained

Ocellus found this information interesting, she now knew that Whaehonah wasn’t really a monster. She had one more question though.

“So where did you come from if you don’t mind me asking?” Ocellus asked
“Nopony got to know me that well, so they won’t now.” She said as she went to bed for the night.

The next day, Whaehonah was awoken by claws tapping her on her head. It was Smolder.

“Whaehonah, it’s time for breakfast, I thought you might like to know.” Smolder said as Whaehonah got up and stretched.

“I’ll be right with you.” She said as she went over and shut the door.

Whaehonah brushed her mane and tail, then proceeded to make her way down the hallway to the cafeteria. She got her food then sat down at the table with Ocellus and her friends. Sandbar gave Whaehonah a strange look then proceeded to say something.

“Couldn’t find any meat in the kitchen?.” Sandbar asked, causing Whaehonah to get frustrated.

“Sandbar, stop it, you don’t know what she’s been through.” Ocellus said intervening

“What, she’s a meat eater, they don’t eat like we do.” said Sandbar

“SANDBAR! Stop it!” Gallus yelled, getting Applejack’s attention

Applejack walked over to see what all the commotion was about. After calming everything down she asked the question that the group was waiting for.

“Now what’s going on?” Applejack asked

“Sandbar asked me a crazy question, just like in class yesterday.” Whaehonah answered

“Sandbar, can you and Whaehonah just drop that topic please? It would be greatly appreciated.” Applejack said before leaving the table.

Whaehonah was getting tired of Sandbar saying crazy things regarding her. If he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, she was gonna snap and history was gonna repeat itself, she didn’t want that so she quickly ate her breakfast and ran off to her car. Whaehonah got into the car and just sat there for a while. She tried to calm down further but she couldn’t stop thinking about everything that has been going on since she started going to the school of friendship. Eventually Princess Twilight came up and saw Whaehonah sitting in her car with the door open and walked over to her.

“Good morning Whaehonah, what’s going on?” Twilight asked

“I’m not sure about staying anymore.” She answered

“What happened?” Twilight replied

“Sandbar can’t leave me alone about me having eaten meat.” She responded bringing her hoof towards the key to turn on the car

“I see. Let me talk to Sandbar and get this sorted out.” Twilight replied

Twilight managed to talk Whaehonah out of leaving and walked with her back inside. Once they were inside, Twilight brought her to the office called Sandbar in as well to have a talk with him.

“Sandbar, what did you say to Whaehonah?” Twilight asked

“I said no meat in the kitchen in the form of a question.” Sandbar answered

“And you didn’t think that would be offensive to her?” Twilight said, getting a little frustrated

“Well no, I figured she was used to such questions.” Sandbar responded

“I’m not. You don’t have to bring up my past, it's disrespectful and I don’t appreciate it.” Whaehonah said, getting angry.

“Enough! Sandbar, this is the second time you’ve done something to set her off, so I have no choice but to punish you. I’m gonna have you write the definition of respect one hundred times, then your gonna spend as much time with Whaehonah as possible to get to know her better.” Twilight said giving Sandbar a stern look

“But, she might.” Sandbar was interrupted

“No objections, I’ve spoken my peace and counted to three.” Twilight said dismissing the two

Sandbar didn’t like his punishment one bit, he didn’t like the idea of spending more time with Whaehonah. He was actually starting to get scared of her, but there was no walking away from this one. Both of them went to loyalty class and they were told to sit next to each other, neither of them liked it. They didn’t argue and just took a seat for the lesson.
Although the lesson went smoothly, lunchtime was a little rough. Whaehonah got a hay burger and sat down next to Sandbar, the two gave each other a slight glare and just took a bite of their meal. Whaehonah spoke first this time.

“I’m not a bad pony you know.” She said

“I never said you were.” Sandbar responded

“You really did hurt me. It may not seem like it but you did.” Whaehonah said, taking another bite of her sandwich

“I didn’t mean any of that to be bad.” Sandbar replied

At this point, Ocellus spoke up.

“Sandbar, you were talking about a sensitive topic for her, you knew about her eating meat but you didn’t know what started it.” Ocellus said before taking a sip of a milkshake

“How was I supposed to know it was sensitive?” Sandbar said as an excuse

“Her reaction to your question in professor Applejack’s honesty class.” Ocellus answered.

Whaehonah finished her hay burger and went to the library for some quiet time before the next class.
She found a book that had been taken off the shelf but not put back in its place, the title intrigued her, Daring Do and the quest for the sapphire stone, Whaehonah picked up the book and began reading it. The book was definitely a great read, the way it was written and the details that were added made it seem like a true story. Whaehonah was interrupted in the middle of her story by a voice.

“What are you reading Whaehonah?” The voice said

She looked up and saw Rainbow Dash.

“Daring Do and the quest for the sapphire stone.” Whaehonah said reading the title

“You’re reading the one that got me into the series. How do you like it?” Said Rainbow Dash

“It’s amazing, the details make it feel like a true story.” She replied

“It is a true story.” Rainbow Dash answered

Whaehonah looked at Rainbow Dash with a shocked expression, she didn’t expect it to actually be a true story. This only made the book even more interesting.

“Well I guess I should be getting back to class.” Whaehonah said, putting the book back on the shelf.

“Glad you enjoy Daring Do.” Rainbow Dash said, heading back to her class

Whaehonah arrived in honesty class and was feeling a bit better, she definitely liked the sound of the assignment.

“Alright y’all, today’s assignment is gonna be honest comments. We’re gonna go around and say something true about one sitting next to you.” Applejack explained.

Whaehonah had to restrain herself, she was gonna tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

“Let’s start with you Whaehonah.” Applejack said, not knowing what Whaehonah was about to do

“Alright. Sandbar, you really need to keep most of your thoughts to yourself, you don’t seem to think about what you’re fixing to say before saying it, you let your curiosity get to you and you seem to not even care about what someone has been through.” Whaehonah said in truth

“Well, that was unexpected. My goodness Whaehonah, when I said honest comments, I didn’t mean be harsh.” Said Applejack

“Yes mam.” Whaehonah replied.

The rest of the class looked at Whaehonah with looks of surprise and one even told her off about what she said.

“You know, what you said about Sandbar is also true about you.” Said the pony

What the pony said to her was definitely true, but Whaehonah remembered something about the pony that was gonna seal his fate the following night. It was one of Diamond Tiara’s followers who threatened her when she was a filly.

After school, Whaehonah looked for the pony who spoke to her in class. She eventually found him in the student quarters, Whaehonah walked into his dorm room, she shut and bolted the door so that no one could walk in and disturb her. Whaehonah bit his entire throat out so that he couldn’t cry for help, then bit his spine so he couldn’t fight and then proceeded to eat him. When she got done, Whaehonah stripped the bed and bagged the sheets, she then went to the linen closet and grabbed some fresh sheets to replace the bloody sheets. After doing a thorough cleanup of the room, Whaehonah brought the bloody sheets and pony skeleton to the car and put them in the back seat. Once her work was hidden, Whaehonah went to bed for the night.

The Last Day’s of School

Whaehonah woke up the next morning to Ocellus knocking on her door, it wasn’t really something new since the young changeling seemed to like her. There was only one thing she had to do before opening the door, and it had to do with her face. When she looked in the mirror, she noticed blood on her lips and it had to come off before greeting Ocellus. She used a bottle of water and a bowl to clean the blood off her mouth, she proceeded to pour the liquid down a drain in the floor, then went to the door and greeted her friend.

“Good morning Ocellus.” Whaehonah said, managing to hold a good poker face.

“What took you so long to answer the door?” Ocellus asked

“I had to clean some goo off my teeth.” She lied

“Oh, alright well I guess we should go to the cafeteria for some breakfast.” Ocellus said, clearly worried about Whaehonah’s behavior this morning

They arrived in the cafeteria, got their meals and went to their table to sit down. So far there was no mention of the pony that she killed during the night, so she just ate her oatmeal and sliced paw paws while talking with her friends about the possible assignments. The discussion went on for the majority of breakfast time before Twilight walked in and asked about the pony.

“Has anyone seen Platinum Stone?” Twilight asked

The cafeteria went silent, everyone looked at Twilight, then over to where he normally sat during each meal, then at each other and back to Twilight. This definitely got the attention of everyone, Platinum Stone was never late for breakfast or lunch, so it was clear that something was going on. Applejack ended up questioning everyone who was in her class where he was last seen, but got no helpful answers.

The royal guards were called to investigate the situation and Whaehonah’s mind started racing, but she managed to hold a straight face. When the guards arrived, they immediately began their questioning with Whaehonah due to her bad history, but she was maddeningly unhelpful and as they expected, Whaehonah denied any involvement in the disappearance of the young stallion. The investigation was going nowhere fast and it was less than unhelpful that there were no witnesses and no evidence of a crime.

The case eventually ran cold and was dropped, but they still reported Platinum Stone missing.

That same night, Whaehonah couldn’t get any sleep, her fear of the case being reopened was too high. So she went straight to her car, started it up and drove off to Povania to dump the pony skeleton into the same trash cart with her last victims. Whaehonah arrived in Povania and drove straight for the trash cart, then she began unloading the car.

It took her a little bit longer than last time due to the smaller bits of bones being harder to get a hold of and she was already wishing she hadn’t gotten rid of the vacuum, but she ended up getting an idea, when she got back to Ponyville she would use her brother’s vacuum to get rid of any remaining bone fragments.

Whaehonah got back in the car and drove back towards Ponyville. Upon arriving in Ponyville, she went straight to Thyntiuos’ house, backed up to the shop and went inside. She eventually found his vacuum and brought it out, she opened the back of the car and started to vacuum it out, making sure that there wasn’t a single inch of it uncovered. When she was done cleaning out the back of her car, she put the vacuum right back where it was, closed the shop and drove back to the school. Whaehonah went to sleep in her car when she arrived at the school.

The next morning, Whaehonah was awoken by tapping on her window. It was Rarity. Whaehonah opened the window and Rarity asked for an explanation.

“Whaehonah, what are you doing in here instead of your quarters?” Rarity asked giving a confused look

“I had to do some errands last night and upon returning, I fell asleep.” Whaehonah answered

“Oh, alright then. Do you want me to walk inside with you?” Rarity offered

“Sure?” Whaehonah said, accepting the offer.

The two walked inside and headed to the cafeteria. Whaehonah went over to the counter and got her some grits and a cup of pawpaw yogurt then proceeded to go sit with her friends. The seven of them had a conversation regarding the disappearance of Platinum Stone, throughout the whole conversation Whaehonah was acting like she had no knowledge of what happened and Ocellus was getting suspicious. The poker face that Whaehonah was trying to hold started to get hard to keep, so she just went back to eating her breakfast. The second that she finished her food, she put her tray in the window to get cleaned and headed to her room for some private time. Ocellus and Smolder noticed this and followed her. They arrived at her room and immediately questioned her.

“Whaehonah, I’m usually patient with others at this school, but you’re acting really strange and I want to know what’s gotten into you right now.” Smolder said getting frustrated

Whaehonah stayed silent.

“Please Whaehonah, just tell us what’s going on.” Said Ocellus

“Fine, you caught me.” She answered

“What? I’m not following.” Smolder said, confused at this response

“I got him.” Whaehonah said, expecting the worst

“Got who? Platinum Stone?” Ocellus asked

“Yes, I lost control. Feel free to tell headmare Twilight.” Said Whaehonah

“Whaehonah, what are you saying? You took Platinum Stone?” Smolder asked

“Yes, I killed and ate him, just like the others. I really have a problem with anger.” She said rubbing a hoof on her shoulder

“Whaehonah, what you did was really bad. But I’ll do what I can to help you if you let me, but you’ve gotta try to control yourself.” Ocellus said, offering Whaehonah a deal

“Even I’ll offer some support.” Smolder said, joining in.

“Alright, I’ll do what I can. Thanks girls.” She answered

The three went to class and sat with each other. The class went kinda smooth, but Whaehonah’s focus was definitely off, she had issues paying attention to what Fluttershy was saying. Fluttershy immediately saw this and asked about what was going on.

“Whaehonah, is something wrong?” Fluttershy asked

“No, thanks though.” She lied

“Whaehonah, I may not be like Applejack, but I can tell when you’re lying to me, now please, what’s bothering you?” Said Fluttershy

“I’ve just had a couple bad nights.” She answered

“Well, if you don’t mind, please try and focus, pretty please.” Fluttershy said in her overly polite tone

“Yes mam.” She said, complying with the request

Even though she managed to keep her focus, Whaehonah struggled through Kindness class.
In the hallway, Ocellus and Smolder ended up forming a plan to help Whaehonah through her classes. They continued to see Whaehonah’s attention take a nosedive towards absence, so they informed the rest of their group about things that were going on and they definitely wanted to help.

“Whaehonah, hey, Smolder told me and the others about you struggling today and we want to help you in any way we can.” Said SilverStream.

“Oh, well if it can get me through the rest of the day I’ll be willing to accept anything.” She responded

“Well, hopefully we can help. The way you’re looking today is a little depressing.” Said Gallus.

They went on to honesty class and Applejack instantly noticed Whaehonah’s behavior, just by the way she walked to her desk was enough to give her an idea of what was going on.

“Whaehonah, what’s going on.” Applejack asked in a worried tone

“Just a couple bad nights is all.” She answered

“Well I can tell it’s more than that, but if you don’t wanna talk about it that’s fine.” Applejack said, trying to comfort Whaehonah

The class went a bit smoother than the last, but it was still hard for Whaehonah to fully concentrate on the assignment.
After a couple more classes of this, Ocellus came up with an idea that just might take care of this, once and for all. Lunch time rolled around and the group went to the cafeteria, Whaehonah got her usual lunch, a hay burger and some apple sauce with cinnamon sugar then sat down next to Yona and Ocellus. As soon as Whaehonah took a bite of her hay burger, Ocellus started speaking.

“Whaehonah, since tomorrow is a holiday, I’d like you to take me home today and I would like to bring you to a changeling hypnotist.” Ocellus said, letting Whaehonah know what her next plan of action was.

“A what?” She asked

“Hypnotist, she’ll relax you to the point where your mind will free itself from anything negative or anything that eats away at it and that should get you your focus back.” Ocellus explained

“That sounds like it will help a lot.” Whaehonah said, accepting the offer

After lunch, the lot went to their final class and just like the others, Whaehonah struggled heavily to keep her mind on the assignment.

A Holiday Before Dropping Out

Throughout the assignment, Pinkie Pie looked at Whaehonah’s desk with curiosity. Whaehonah’s fur was starting to fall out from under her chin, this started to worry the pink mare.

“Whaehonah, what’s going on with you? You’re shedding pretty heavily under your chin.” Pinkie said pointing to the purple fur on the desk

“What? I don’t know professor Pinkie.” Whaehonah said in fear

Whaehonah was sent to Twilight for possible answers, the fur on her chin was falling out for the entire walk. When she arrived in Twilight’s office, her chin was almost bare and Twilight immediately noticed this.

“Twilight, what’s happening to me?!” She said spastically

“Come here and let me look.” Twilight responded

Twilight took a good long look at Whaehonah and had an idea of what was going on, but pulled out a couple books to see if her thoughts were correct.

“Alright, it’s not a life threatening situation at least, this book says it’s due to stress, it’s not a common occurrence, especially on the chin, but like I said, it’s not life threatening.” Twilight explained

“Thanks headmare Twilight.” She said, giving Twilight a hug

Twilight returned the hug and Whaehonah went back to class.

After class, Whaehonah and Ocellus got in the car and made their way to the changeling hive.

On their way to the hive, Whaehonah started feeling very sick to her stomach. Eventually, she just had to pull over and get out of the car, she made her way around the back of the car and proceeded to hurl everything she had eaten. The most disturbing thing was what was in the contents of her stomach, two eyes stared right up at her, there were also remains of a heart as well as a tongue in the puddle of vomit. She had digested most of the pony but digestion had ended with the eyes, tongue and heart. Whaehonah just got back in the car, backed over the puddle and buried it as best she could, as long as the evidence couldn’t be used, she was fine.

After spinning the wheels on the spot where she threw up, Whaehonah continued the trip to the changeling hive.

As soon as they arrived, Whaehonah got out of the car and threw up again, this time, there was an ear and the remains of a brain. Ocellus ended up helping Whaehonah into the hive and walking her to the hypnotist she had mentioned earlier.

The walk felt like forever, but they managed to get to the room with a sign that read “The Great Mandible” and walked in. When they entered, they were calmly greeted and Whaehonah was led to a soft green couch made of crisscross moss, and sat down. Ocellus explained the situation and Miss Mandible immediately got to work on relaxing the pegasus.

“Alright, so far it seems like there is something going on in your mind that’s too powerful to handle and from my experience, we need to get rid of it by doing a mind cleansing, it’s a process done through intense relaxation and soft binaural beats.” Miss Mandible softly explained

“Alright, how does that work?” Whaehonah asked

“We’ll start with some deep breathing, then I’ll start making some soft, calming binaural sounds and by the end of this session, everything that bothers you should be long gone.” Miss Mandible said quietly

Whaehonah spread herself out on the couch and Miss Mandible got started with the process.

“Now just close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose, hold it for a few seconds, breathe out through your mouth. I want you to do that a few more times, then just breathe normally.” Said Miss Mandible, relaxing the pegasus

After a couple minutes of deep breathing, Miss Mandible started making some very calming sounds unlike anything that Whaehonah had ever heard, it sounded like locusts and flyders, but softer and in different combinations with other sounds, she was also playing a small drum, every hit was very soft and it was very soothing. This went on for thirty minutes while Whaehonah was asleep.

Even though she was asleep, Whaehonah definitely felt a load being lifted. It felt like she was being freed from everything that was tearing her apart with every second that passed and after another ten minutes of her session, it felt like a few burdens were taken away.

She woke up the next morning in her car, she was feeling much better and more upbeat than she did before the hypnosis session. Whaehonah got out of the car and went back inside the hive to give Miss Mandible a tip and thank her as well as thank Ocellus for bringing her. She walked around the hive for a while and eventually found Ocellus and Miss Mandible talking. They were talking about how Whaehonah’s situation was one of the toughest sessions she had ever dealt with and it would definitely be one of her greatest accomplishments. Whaehonah stepped in and spoke.

“Miss Mandible, I wanted to thank you for the help you’ve given me. Here’s a tip for the work.” Whaehonah said, handing a bag of bits to Miss Mandible.

“You don’t have to pay for anything. I don’t work for bits, I work to help others.” Miss Mandible replied, returning the bag.

“Still, thanks for the help, I appreciate it.” Whaehonah said as she went back to her car.

She got to the car and drove back towards Ponyville. On her way home, Whaehonah was caught off guard by something that fell on the car. Whaehonah swerved, drifted and smashed right into a train. The car was once again undamaged, but the train cart she smashed into, was now missing a wheel. Whaehonah got out to assess the damage, she saw that the train cart had a heavily damaged wheel and a hole in the bottom of it, where the back of the car smashed through the base. When she looked at the front of her car, she saw what fell on it. It was a white pegasus mare wearing some kind of suit and goggles. She recognized the pony’s suit as a Wonderbolt suit, due to seeing it on a poster in Rainbow Dash’s classroom. Whaehonah checked on the pegasus, feeling for a blood pulse. After confirming that the pegasus was still alive, she picked her up off the hood and put her in the back seat of the car, abandoned the crash scene and proceeded to drive over to the hospital. On her way to the hospital, the pegasus woke up and asked what happened.

“Ugh, my head. What happened, where am I?” The pegasus asked

Whaehonah stopped the car, turned around in her seat and told her.

“Don’t worry too much, you fell onto my car. I’m taking you to the hospital.” Whaehonah answered

“Aaahhh, my wing!” The pegasus responded

“Sounds like your wing is either sprained or broken. Hang on, I’m gonna be driving pretty fast.” Whaehonah said, slamming her hoof down on the accelerator

Whaehonah sped towards the hospital, staccato honking filled the town until they arrived at the hospital.
When they arrived, she helped the pegasus out of the car.

“What’s your name?” Whaehonah asked as she closed the door to the car.

“High Winds and you?” Said the pegasus

“My name is Whaehonah.” She answered

“That’s a strange name, but it’s a pretty name.” Said High Winds

“Thanks. Now let’s get you inside, your injuries could be serious.” Whaehonah said, bringing High Winds into the hospital

When they got inside, two nurses immediately noticed that High Winds had a really bloody face and a crooked wing. They brought out a stretcher and transported her to the x-ray room. After a few hours, it was confirmed that High Winds’ tail was sprained and she had a broken wing, but nothing was life threatening.

Whaehonah left the hospital to go stay the night with her brother. Tomorrow was a school day and Whaehonah felt like it was gonna be a lot smoother than yesterday.

Dropping out

Whaehonah finally arrived at Thyntiuos’ house after thirty minutes of driving. She shut off the car, got out and went to the door. As soon as she got to the door, Thyntiuos opened it and spoke.

“Hey sis, I figured I would be seeing you.” said Thyntiuos

“What gave it away?” She asked

“Somepony is here to see you.” Thyntiuos said, pointing at the couch.

Before Whaehonah could say anything, a familiar voice spoke.

“Well well well, if it isn’t razor tooth.” Said the voice

Whaehonah remembered that insult, she also remembered the pony who said it.

“Diamond Tiara. We meet again, what the hell are you doing in my brother’s house?” She said with a burning mad glare

“I was just visiting him with some funds for his project, but he ended up mentioning you.” Said Diamond Tiara

“So he mentioned me, I’m his sister, he’s gonna mention me sooner or later.” Whaehonah said, getting angry

“I thought you were dead, no filly has ever been able to survive that long in the Everfree Forest.” Diamond Tiara said, only adding more fuel to Whaehonah’s anger

“You’re not gonna get rid of me that easily. I never did anything to you, but you bullied me, you told me to do things I would never have thought of doing, you pushed me beyond the limit, now you come to my brother’s house. What’s next?” Whaehonah said, venting her anger towards the filly

“I only came here to give your brother a check from my dad, when he mentioned you I stayed because I wanted to apologize for everything I did.” Diamond Tiara explained

“Then why did you call me razor tooth when I walked in?” She asked

“Old habits, I don’t know.” Said Diamond Tiara

“I don’t like being called that.” Whaehonah finally said

“You’re the one who took it as an insult, I only called you that because your name was strange and hard to remember.” Diamond Tiara explained

“Well you could have at least told me that when I was at Cheerilee’s school.” She replied

“Enough!” Thyntiuos said after growing annoyed by the arguing

Diamond Tiara and Whaehonah stopped talking altogether.

“I know you two had problems with each other in the past, but this is the present, you two need to sit down and talk to each other instead of arguing.” Thyntiuos said, trying to calm the two ponies.

“I’m not the one who started it.” Whaehonah said looking at Diamond Tiara

“I understand, but you need to let the past stay the past.” Said Thyntiuos

“You said that weird.” Said Diamond Tiara

“So I talk strange sometimes, but that’s not the point. The point is, you two need to let your past go, there’s no reason for you girls to keep being enemies.” Thyntiuos explained

“For a pony with a broken horn, he has a point Whaehonah.” Said Diamond Tiara

The two eventually decided to come to an accord.

“That’s better, now I have to go to the hospital, a friend of mine was almost murdered.” Said Thyntiuos

”Who is your friend?” Whaehonah asked

“Her name is High Winds, somepony kicked her out of the sky.” Thyntiuos said heading towards the shop

“I’ll give you a ride, I brought her there after she fell onto the car.” She offered

“No thanks, I’ve gotta give my car a test run anyway and thanks for bringing her to the hospital.” Thyntiuos said, declining the offer

Whaehonah went back to her car and went back to the school yard to get some sleep for the next day.

Whaehonah was woken up by a detective the next morning. Whaehonah didn’t think anything of it and just got out of the car to talk to him.

“Are you Whaehonah?” The detective asked

“Yes sir.” She said, managing to hold a poker face

“I’m detective Lightning Rain, Cloudsdale Police/Detective. I just wanna ask you a few things about yesterday.” Said Lightning Rain.

“What did I do? I’ve never even been to Cloudsdale.” Whaehonah said, getting frustrated

“Nothing bad, I just wanted to ask if you saw this pegasus prior to the incident involving High Winds.” He said pulling a picture from his saddle bag

Whaehonah took a good long look at the picture and the name before giving her answer.

“No, but I recognize the name. Rainbow Dash mentioned somepony named Lightning Dust in a conversation we had, apparently she’s crazy and reckless.” Said Whaehonah.

“Well if you ever see her, just come to the office and let me know.” Said Lightning Rain.

“Where’s the office?” Whaehonah asked

“In Cloudsdale. Just ask for detective Rain and say it benefits the High Winds case. Also I’d like to thank you for bringing her to the hospital, I’ll need to ask her some questions about this when she wakes up.” He said before flying back to Cloudsdale.

After her talk with the detective, Whaehonah went into the school to start her day. Things seemed a bit better this time around. Twilight asked Whaehonah into her office to check on her, just in case.

“Whaehonah, can I see you in my office real quick?” Twilight asked, motioning to her office

“What did I do?” She asked

“Nothing, I just wanna see how you were doing today.” Said Twilight

“Better, thanks for asking.” She said

“I take it the hypnosis helped.” Twilight said pulling up to her desk

“Yes, thanks to Miss Mandible, I feel great.” She said getting ready to go to class

“One more thing, I saw you outside with a Cloudsdale officer, is everything alright with that.?” Twilight questioned

“Yeah, it’s just.” Whaehonah said before being cut off

“Whaehonah! I heard you brought High Winds to the hospital. What happened?” Rainbow Dash said, interrupting the conversation

“Somepony threw her out of the sky onto my car and Lightning Dust is a suspect according to a detective.” Whaehonah explained

“I hope it was Lightning Dust. If that’s the case, I hope she gets put into Tartarus for it.” Rainbow Dash said in anger

“Well I guess it’s time for class, I’ll be on my way there.” Whaehonah said, heading towards Applejack’s classroom

Whaehonah, went to her class and sat down. Applejack heard Rainbow Dash yelling as Whaehonah walked in.

“What is Rainbow Dash yelling about?” Applejack asked

“Oh, I told Twilight about being questioned by a Cloudsdale detective about an attempted murder case where a pony named Lightning Dust is a suspect and when I mentioned Lightning Dust to Rainbow Dash she went off.” Whaehonah explained

“Lightning Dust? Who was the victim?” Applejack questioned

“Her name is High Winds, I drove her to the hospital yesterday.” Whaehonah said as she sat down

“I’m glad you took care of a Wonder Bolt, that’s definitely a heroic move on your part.” Said Applejack

This caught everyone by surprise, they never thought Whaehonah could be a hero. Everyone but Sandbar was surprised, he was clearly having a hard time believing what she said and when they were in the hallway after class, he told her what he was thinking.

“You know Whaehonah, that was a pretty good story you told us, you sure had everyone fooled.” Said Sandbar

“It’s actually true.” Whaehonah said looking over at Sandbar

“There’s no way that you got a Wonder Bolt into that contraption you have.” Said Sandbar

Whaehonah was starting to get frustrated with Sandbar. It had escalated to him calling her a liar.

“If you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital and see for yourself.” Said Whaehonah

“I don’t need to go to the hospital since it’s pretty obvious that you’re lying.” Said Sandbar

“I’m not lying, but I am starting to get angry being called a liar when I’m clearly telling the truth.” Whaehonah said, starting to show signs of frustration

As Whaehonah started to walk away, Sandbar yelled out to her.

“Lying blank flank.” Sandbar said, sealing his fate

“THATS, IT!” Whaehonah yelled out.

She pounced on Sandbar and began beating him. She was beyond reasoning with, she punched him over and over again. Whaehonah eventually threw him up in the air and bucked him straight into Twilight’s office. Whaehonah flew into the office and told him off.

“Sandbar, you’re an imbecile, you never know when to shut your cake hole, you’ve been a complete pain in my flank since I came here. Your friends told me that you were a decent pony, but I come in and you’re a completely different pony than they say you are. Headmare Twilight, don’t worry about expelling me because I’m outta here.” Whaehonah said roasting Sandbar

As soon as she got to her car, Whaehonah was stopped by Twilight.

“Whaehonah wait. Let me help you, I don’t wanna lose a student this quick.” Twilight said, begging

“Twilight, I’ve had enough of it. That pony has been teasing me ever since I started. Him calling me blank flank was the last straw.” Said Whaehonah

“He’s not usually like that. I don’t know why you coming here made him so different, it’s totally out of character for him.” Said Twilight

“I’ve spoken my peace and counted to three.” Whaehonah said as she got into her car

She drove off, heading straight for Povania.

Author's Note

The only reason I’m including the town where Sparrow’s oc is from, is because it’s abandoned and off the map, so it can serve as a safe zone for Whaehonah.

Assisting Law Enforcement

After leaving the school to go live in Povania, she noticed an alicorn figure behind her, following her. It was too big to be Twilight Sparkle and when she looked behind her, she noticed that this pony’s coat was white and it’s mane was wavy, as if it were made of magic. Whaehonah didn’t want to lead this pony to her safe place, so she decided to drive in a different direction. Instead of driving to Povania, she drove towards the old castle ruins since it was also abandoned. After driving across the bridge and fearing that it was gonna break under the weight of the car, she parked and ran inside, the alicorn following right behind her. Whaehonah ran around the castle for a while before flying around, the alicorn didn’t stop following her. Whaehonah eventually flew into a large room with a dusty pipe organ and found out that it was a dead end. At this point, the alicorn spoke out.

“Why are you running?” Said the alicorn

“I’m just trying to get away from ponyville.” Said Whaehonah

“But why are you running from me?” The alicorn asked

“I don’t know who you are or why you were following me.” She replied

“I’m Princess Celestia, and I heard about what happened at the school, I wanted to talk to you about that, I also know about your history of cannibalism as well as killing my officers and wanted to work out a deal.” Said the princess

“So you know about everything I’ve done and only want to work out a deal?” Whaehonah responded

“Yes. I can’t stand to condemn anypony, so I want to work something out.” Said the princess

“What are you offering?” She asked

“My guards and Cloudsdale police are having a hard time figuring out what happened to a pegasus mare named High Winds. I figured that with your strength, coupled with your indestructible machine and the armor you took from a wanted thug, you could help with the case. In return, I will make sure that your slate is wiped clean, as long as nothing else like it happens again.” The Princess explained

Whaehonah thought about the deal for a few seconds and then gave her answer.

“I will help with the case, if you wipe my slate clean.” Said Whaehonah

“It’s a deal then. You will start helping tomorrow.” Said the princess.

Princess Celestia left the old castle and returned to Canterlot. Whaehonah decided to play the pipe organ before her, even though she wasn’t as good as her mother, she could still play it. She remembered one song in particular that her mom would play for her on an upright piano, even though it wouldn’t sound the same coming from a pipe organ, she decided to play it anyway. The song was a rather soothing tune, not enough to relax one to the point of slumber, but it was definitely enough to make an angry pony happy. Equestria the beautiful was the name of it, and Whaehonah found it to sound a little bit better coming from a pipe organ than it did from a piano.

After playing the organ for a while, she decided to get back to the car and get to Povania so she can find herself a house to live in. Upon arrival, it was already dark, but with the car’s lights, Whaehonah saw something that she would never be able to unsee.
It was hard for her to even believe she was seeing anything in front of her. It looked like something from another world entirely, she couldn’t even explain it to herself. It looked like a living pile of tendons, arteries and veins, and it was clearly eating a bear. Whaehonah, immediately put the pedal to the metal and drove right over it and went to make sure her sister was alright.

When she arrived at Senthrio’s house, she ran up, not even knocking on the door and went straight inside. She rounded the corner into the kitchen and knocked Senthrio down.

“Whaehonah, what is going on? You look like you’ve seen some kind of monster.” Senthrio said as she stood back up

“I’m pretty sure I did.” She replied

“Was it the tendril creature?” Senthrio asked

“You’ve seen it?” She asked

“Yes, it’s from this book I found at the entrance to town.” Senthrio said as she picked a book off the counter

Whaehonah was shocked, how could something from a book, be real.? Whaehonah began examining the book that Senthrio had given her and the first thing she noticed was that it had been hoof written, while every other book was written using a typewriter.

“May I have this book?” She asked

“Sure, I’ve read it several times anyway.” Senthrio said, allowing Whaehonah to own the strange book

“I do have one question. How could that thing be real, if it’s just a creature in a horror story?” She asked

“I don’t know, it’s a mystery to me as well.” Senthrio answered

“Alright, well good night sis.” She said as she headed back to the car

Senthrio nodded and went upstairs to go to bed. Whaehonah brought the book to the car and put it in her saddlebag, then proceeded to get into the car and go to sleep for the night.

The next morning, Whaehonah woke up and immediately remembered her deal with the princess. She opened the back of the car and grabbed the armor she took from the thug in Canterlot, then proceeded to put it on, the armor was a perfect fit surprisingly since it was made for a stallion. After putting on the armor helmet, she flew to Cloudsdale and went straight to the police station. The desk pony immediately asked how they could help her.

“I’d like to speak with Lightning Rain please.” Whaehonah said walking up to the desk

“Sure thing, he’s right through that door.” Said the desk pony

“Thank you.” She said as she went and opened the door.

As soon as she walked into Lightning Rain’s office, he asked her to sit down.

“I was expecting you. Princess Celestia told me about the deal.” Said the detective

“So, where do we start?” She asked

“I want you to go get that thing you were in yesterday from wherever you keep it, and you can use it to carry some things for our investigation. You know like food and the battering ram, plus we can use it to stay out of sight. We can meet at the hospital.” Lightning Rain said, explaining the plan

“Alright, but it’s gonna take a while for me to get to the hospital.” Said Whaehonah

“That’s alright, as long as you’re there before night, you’re good.” Said the detective

Whaehonah flew back to Povania while Lightning Rain flew to the hospital. Whaehonah arrived in Povania, got the car and made sure to drive as fast as she could to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, she noticed that she beat Lightning Rain to it. As soon as Lightning Rain arrived, he was amazed at how fast Whaehonah was able to get to the hospital, but he didn’t have time to think about it. They went right inside, walked up to the desk and Lightning Rain showed the desk pony his badge.

“We’re here to see a patient of yours, High Winds.” Said the detective

“Oh, yes and who’s with you? Is she a friend?” The desk pony said, asking about Whaehonah

“Yes, this is my partner Whaehonah, we’re investigating an attempted murder on High Winds, we just need to ask a few questions.” Said Lightning Rain

“Well, she’s in room 704.” Said the desk pony

“Thank you Sunbeam.” Lightning Rain said as him and Whaehonah walked down the hallway

When they walked into the room, High Winds was in the middle of breakfast. She was having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk.

“Hello High Winds, that’s a pretty good looking breakfast you're eating.” Said Lightning Rain

“Yeah, it’s okay.” She replied

“Well I’d like to ask you a few questions if you’re alright with that.” Said the detective taking a quill and notebook out of his saddle bag

“Sure.” High Winds said granting permission

“First question, did you see who knocked you out of the sky?” He asked

“Not really, but I did catch a glimpse of a tail as I went down.” Said High Winds

“Alright, what colour was the tail?” He asked

“It was like amber with a little bit of gold.” Said High Winds

“Alright, was your attacker wearing any clothes?” Lightning Rain asked

“Uh, yes, it was a black suit, with some green markings on the underside.” High Winds said causing the detective to grow angry

“Thanks, you’ve been a great help to me. I’ll let you eat now.” Said Lightning Rain

He stepped out of the room and walked out of the hospital, Whaehonah following right behind him.

“Damn, I didn’t know we were dealing with one of them.” Said the detective in an angry tone

“Who?” Whaehonah asked

“The Washouts.” Said Lightning Rain

“Who are the Washouts?” She asked

“They’re a group of insane pegasi that enjoy being reckless and just acting plain crazy.” Lightning Rain said growing even more angry

“I’m not gonna pretend to know who they are, but they sound like a gang of morons.” Said Whaehonah

“They kind of are, but I’m pretty sure we’re going after Lightning Dust.” Said Lightning Rain

The two got in the car and Whaehonah began driving. Lightning Rain told Whaehonah of a place that the Washouts commonly hang out.

“The Washouts normally hangout near the secluded pond on the other side of the park.” He said showing a map of Ponyville

“Alright, is that where we start?” She asked

“Yes. You know, this is actually a pretty comfy ride.” Said Lightning Rain

“Thanks, my brother built this for me. It’s called a car.” She replied

“Well he did a great job and for this investigation, the dark windows will keep us out of sight if we have to watch somepony.” Said Lightning Rain

The two arrived nearby the secluded pond, only to see the Washouts building some kind of stunt that couldn’t possibly be legal. Lightning Rain got out of the car and went straight to questioning.

“Alright, what are you all fixing to do to yourselves now?” Said the detective

“Oh look, it’s our old friend detective nag.” Said a heavily scarred pegasus

“You’re gonna have to come up with a better insult than that crater maker.” Said the detective

“What do want?” Said another pony

“Better grammar would be nice, unless your brain is gone from knocking too many trees down with your face. I also need the whereabouts of your friend Lightning Dust.” Said Lightning Rain

“Lightning Dust isn’t with us.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Then where is she?” He asked

“What do want with her?” Said the second pegasus

“I need to ask her a few questions.” He said

“Well then ask that stupid Wonderbolt she passed at the train station?” Said the scarred pegasus

“I’ve already talked to her and you better watch what you say about the Wonderbolts.” He said getting angry

At this point Whaehonah stepped in.

“Hey imbecile, just tell us where we can find Lightning Dust and we’ll leave you alone.” She said

“Where’d you get that armor? A dumpster?” Said the scarred pegasus

“Not important, tell us where Lightning Dust is.” Said Whaehonah

“Ask the dumb Wonderbolts, we don’t know.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Alright that’s it, I’ve had enough of you insulting the Wonderbolts. Now if you don’t want me to use your head to demolish that contraption of yours, then you’ll tell us where Lightning Dust is at.” The detective snapped

At this rate, Lightning Rain had the attention of the other three pegasi in the group.

“Alright, settle down. She went to a farm called Sweet Apple Acres to talk to a filly named Scootaloo.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Thank you, now was that so hard?” Whaehonah asked

“Yes, yes it was.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Now let’s get to Sweet Apple Acres and get Dust before she can manipulate an innocent filly.” Said Lightning Rain

“I’ve met Scootaloo before.” Whaehonah said as she got back into the car

“Good, so you’ll know what she looks like, now let’s get over there.” Said the detective

Whaehonah put the pedal to the metal hoping to arrive at Sweet Apple Acres before Lightning Dust. They did arrive at the farm, Whaehonah got out and asked a red stallion if he had seen Scootaloo.

“Excuse me sir, Big Mac right?” Said Whaehonah

“Eyup.” Said Big Mac.

“Is Scootaloo here?” She asked

“Eyup.” Big Mac replied

“Where is she?” She asked again

“In their treehouse that way.” Big Mac answered pointing in the direction of the treehouse

“Thanks.” Said Whaehonah

She got into the car and drove it in the direction of the treehouse. Upon arrival, they saw their suspect landing on the doorstep of the treehouse. Whaehonah quietly got out of the car, flew straight at Lightning Dust and tackled her to the floor while the detective watched from the car.

“You’re coming with us mam.” She said, tying Lightning Dust up like a turkey

Whaehonah tossed her into the backseat of her car and drove off to the closest place to Cloudsdale while Lightning Rain told her why she was being arrested and read her the rights.
Once they arrived at the parking spot, Whaehonah pulled Lightning dust out of the backseat of the car and carried her into Cloudsdale by the handle she made on the rope. Lightning Rain directed Whaehonah to the interrogation room.

“I’m just gonna start with the basics Lightning Dust.” Said the detective

“You have nothing on me old man.” Said Lightning Dust

“Oh yes we do.” Said Whaehonah

“Shut up blank flank.” Said Lightning Dust

“No, you shut up. Unless you’re giving us the reason for attacking High Winds, you keep your mouth shut before I shut it for you.” Whaehonah said getting angry

The three went back and forth between each other until Whaehonah slammed Lightning Dust’s head onto the metal table, knocking her four front teeth out.

“That’s enough, are you gonna give us the reason for trying to kill High Winds, or am I gonna put you through the wall with your wings tied up?” Whaehonah said, holding Lightning Dust against the thick cloud wall.

“Alright I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Just don’t kill me.” Said Lightning Dust, begging for her life

“Good so talk, in pure truth.” Said Lightning Rain

“Okay, I didn’t try to kill High Winds, I only knocked her out of the sky during an argument we were having. I didn’t intend on killing anypony. I may be reckless but I’m not homicidal.” Said Lightning Dust

Neither Whaehonah nor Lightning Rain were able to sense any dishonesty in the statement that Lightning Dust gave them.

“You stay here Lightning Dust, we’re gonna go talk to High Winds to see if you’re telling us the whole truth.” Said Lightning Rain

“I told you the truth, what else do you want.?” Said Lightning Dust

“Just sit there and wait for us.” Said Whaehonah

The two went down to the car and went back to the hospital for the rest of the story. They hoped that there was at least another side of this. They arrived at the hospital and went back to room 704 to get High Winds’ side of the story.

“Hello High Winds, we just have a couple more questions for you.” Said the detective

“Alright.” High Winds said, granting permission to further question her

“Okay, Lightning Dust said that you and her had an argument. Is that true?” Said the detective

“Yes, it’s true.” Said High Winds

“Okay. What was the argument about?” Whaehonah asked

“She told me that the Wonderbolts aren’t daring enough to be called that, I told her that the Wonderbolts are more daring than she thinks and it went downhill from there. I don’t know why she said this but I do know that she seemed a bit drunk or high on something.” Said High Winds

“Interesting. Alright, we’ll leave you alone now.” Said the detective

The two of them went back to the car and drove back to the parking spot. When they got back to the interrogation room, Lightning Dust was on the floor, trying to get something out of her suit. Whaehonah untied her legs, gave her a strip search and found it. She held a bag with some kind of substance in front of her face.

“Care to explain?” Whaehonah asked

Lightning Dust stayed silent.

“I see you're using your right to remain silent.” Said Lightning Rain

She still kept her mouth shut.

“Lightning Dust, you’re under arrest for assault of a wonderbolt and possession of an illegal substance. You have the right to remain silent, if you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you.” Said Whaehonah

They put Lightning Dust into a cart and the paddy wagon flyer took her to the Cloudsdale city jail. Lightning Rain gave Whaehonah the okay to go home and get some sleep.

Author's Note

Please don’t ask about the book that Senthrio found. Any questions about it should be answered in another chapter.

The last illness

Whaehonah got back in the car and drove back to Povania. On the way there, an orange pony ran out in front of her. She slammed on the break, swerved and rolled right into a patch of blue flowers. Whaehonah was lucky that the car was back on its wheels, otherwise she would be in the hospital again. The orange pony walked over and told her what she was in.

“Hey, you do realize you're walking around in a patch of poison joke right?” Said the orange pony

“What is poison joke?” She asked

“You’re gonna find out soon enough when something weird happens to you.” Said the pony

The orange pony then flew off. Whaehonah noticed that his eyes were cat-like, his wings looked like bat wings and his cutie mark was a skull and crossbones. Whaehonah didn’t care enough about it to really worry about it, she just got back in her car and finished her trip to Povania. When she arrived in Povania, she saw the same creature that was eating a bear the night before, she couldn’t believe that it was still alive after running over it with the car. Whaehonah decided to drive over it a few more times in hopes of killing it this time. She got the car on top of it, then put the pedal to the metal. After spinning her wheels on it for twenty minutes, she made a u turn and did the same thing a few more times. This time the creature looked dead, but she would have to see. Whaehonah eventually drove to Senthrio’s house to check on her before looking around town for a place to live. She arrived at her sister’s house and went inside.

“Senthrio, are you here?” She asked loudly

“I’m here sis.” Senthrio said from upstairs

“Senthrio, that creature. Is it possible to kill it?” Whaehonah asked as she walked up the stairs

“I don’t think so. Somepony brought it out of that book and I’m pretty sure, the only way to get rid of it, is to put it back in the book.” Senthrio explained

“How do we put it back in the book?” She asked

“I would ask the pony who brought it out.” Senthrio said, giving Whaehonah a look that also answered her next question

“It’s the pony who brought the destruction of this town isn’t it.” Said Whaehonah

“Yes, I don’t know his name, but I do know that he’s hard to find and if you wanna talk to him, you’d better be on his good side.” Said Senthrio

“Are you on his good side?” She asked

“I’ve never met him. He doesn’t really associate with other ponies.” Senthrio explained

Whaehonah sighed and went back to her car to read the book that Senthrio gave her and try to get some rest. After reading a few chapters of the book, Whaehonah did not have high hopes of getting any sleep, instead she just sat in the car and thought about how she could talk to the pony who brought the creature out of the book. Eventually she decided to see who wrote the book. The book didn’t have a title on the cover due to it being worn off, but the name of the author was written on it. She managed to make out what the name was, “by Inky Hearts.” The same name from the files she picked up.

Whaehonah eventually fell asleep, but her night was very rough and when she woke up the next morning, she looked in the mirror of the car and everything looked fine, but she couldn’t help but feel like something was wrong. When she opened her mouth to yawn, she began to drool uncontrollably.
She couldn’t figure out why she was drooling like this, but she had a feeling that it was something to do with that plant she was standing in yesterday. Whaehonah started to remember what the orange pony called it, poison joke, the name was interesting and a new one on her. She decided to do some research on the plant and after some thinking went to the library in Ponyville. Upon arriving where the library was, Whaehonah saw that it was gone. She rolled her window down and asked a pony that was walking by what happened to it.

“Excuse me sir, what happened to the library that was right here?” She asked

“Oh, didn’t you hear, it was destroyed by Tirek a few years ago.?” Said the pony

“Darn. Well do you know of another library here in town?” She asked

“No but there’s one in Princess Twilight’s castle and one in Canterlot.” The pony said starting to notice Whaehonah’s drooling and sharp teeth

Whaehonah saw this and explained her situation

“About the drooling, I’m looking for information about a weed called poison joke.” She explained

“Oh, alright, well if I were you, I’d talk to a Zebra named Zecora. She knows how to create a herbal bath to get rid of the effects.” The pony suggested

“Thanks, where does she live?” She asked

“In the ever free forest.” The pony said, pointing in the direction of Zecora’s house

Whaehonah nodded and drove back to the forest in search of anything that could resemble a house. It took all morning, but Whaehonah found a tree that looked a lot like a hut. She drove up to it, got out of the car and went to the door. The decor she saw around the house suggested that the pony who lived here was a native Equestrian, at least that was the first thing that came to her mind. Whaehonah knocked on the door and waited. It took a minute, but eventually the door was opened and a zebra greeted her.

“What do we have here, and how may I help you dear?” The zebra said, rhyming as she spoke

“Yes, I’m looking for Zecora.” Said Whaehonah

“That’s me, so how may I assist the?” Said Zecora

“I’m looking for a cure for something called poison joke.” She said, drooling as she spoke

“Ah yes, I have just the thing you’re looking for, it’s enough for you, but I still need to make some more. Just put it in a bath, and this will get rid of that plant’s wrath.” Zecora said, giving Whaehonah a bottle of what looked like little green bath beads

Whaehonah left the hut and drove to a spa that she saw in Ponyville to see if they would let her use the remedy in a tub. Upon arriving at the spa, Whaehonah noticed that eyes were turning to look in her direction, a couple of stallions approached the car and were clearly trying to see through the glass, one of them knocked on the front window and spoke.

“I don’t know what it is, but it looks like it’s one of those contraptions that yellow unicorn was in, I can’t see who’s in this one though.” Said the stallion

Whaehonah shut the car off and opened the door. The stallion walked over and saw Whaehonah stepping out. He questioned her, but she only walked past him and ran inside. She went to the front desk, swallowed her saliva and asked if she could get a hot tub treatment with the herbal bath beads. The desk pony nodded

“Yes, that’ll be ten bits.” Said the desk pony

Whaehonah wasted no time and put a bag of bits on the counter. The pony then led her to the hot tub and poured the herbs into the tub. Whaehonah got in and laid back, she spent thirty minutes soaking in the tub to be sure that the effects of the poison joke were over. It wasn’t long after that, she heard a familiar voice speak.

“Enjoying a day at the spa I see.” Said the voice

Whaehonah looked up and saw Rarity.

“Professor Rarity! It’s a long story, but I ended up getting destroyed by a plant called poison joke, so I came here to get rid of the effects.” Said Whaehonah

“Oh how I hate poison joke, it’s really no fun at all.” Said Rarity

“Well, I’d better get going. I’ve been here long enough.” She said as she got out of the tub

Whaehonah quickly dried herself off and went back to the car. As soon as she got to the car and opened the door, another familiar voice spoke.

“How is it going Whaehonah?” Said the voice

She looked over and saw Lightning Rain standing at the front of the car.

“Oh, it’s going good.” She said as she shut the door

“Well that’s good, I just wanted to let you know that we got Lightning Dust for more than possession of an illegal substance and attempted murder.” Said Lightning Rain

“Oh yeah, what are the other charges?” She asked

“She’s also getting locked up for filly endangerment. It turns out that she also endangered a filly named Scootaloo a few years ago.” Said Lightning Rain

“Scootaloo? Well at least she’s going away for it.” She replied

“How well do you know that filly?.” He asked

“I’ve met her before the investigation in an old town that’s off the grid, she was with two other fillies and I gave them a ride home, since the buildings in the town were unsafe and they could’ve gotten hurt or killed.” She explained

“Well I can say that you did a good thing. You knew it wasn’t safe there and you brought them back safely.” Said the detective

“I don’t truly know what brought me to do the things that I’ve done, but I will say that I’m not proud of it, looking back on my actions prior, I do remember that I couldn’t have lived with the deaths of three fillies.” She said

“Speaking of which, Princess Celestia has asked me to give you this.” Lightning Rain said, giving Whaehonah a rolled up letter

Whaehonah unrolled the paper and read it. It was a pardon, signed by the princess herself.

Author's Note

I don’t claim, nor will I take credit for the character named Inky Hearts.

A life changing experience

After receiving the pardon from the princess, Whaehonah got back in the car and drove back into the ever free forest. It was getting dark, so she reached over to turn on the lights, but before she did, she looked over into the bushes across the patch of poison joke. She noticed two sets of eyes and brought the car to a stop. Whaehonah rolled the window down and yelled out.

“Who's there!?” She said

There was no response, the eyes just blinked and went back into the bushes. Whaehonah drove in the direction of eyes, they were definitely pony eyes, it was obvious that they were ponies, even though the eyes were glowing. Whaehonah drove in the same direction for a while and eventually drove right into an old dilapidated town.

“What in the world? How many old abandoned towns are there?” She asked herself

She had no words beyond that. One thing’s for sure, Whaehonah would come back to this in the daytime because of its vibe. The vibe of this town was not good and the smell made Whaehonah gag. She quickly turned around and left the town, but picked a rag from the back seat and tied it to a bush so she would be able to return in the morning. After leaving a marker on a bush, Whaehonah fell asleep in the car, but her night was not very restful, all she could do was think about that old town she saw covered in vines and moss.

The next morning, Whaehonah woke up and immediately started the car, she drove right back into the old town and began looking around. Even in the daylight, the vibe of the town was bad, she couldn’t understand why it was so bad, it didn’t really make sense, the town was in worse shape than Povania, the buildings were covered in vines and moss. Whaehonah didn’t trust getting out of the car just yet, she was gonna drive around for a little while before investigating the buildings. After driving around for a while, Whaehonah got out of the car and walked into one of the houses, the door was open and the door facing was warped. She looked around for a moment before stepping further in, she half expected something to jump out at her but instead a tiny voice spoke.

“You shouldn’t be here, it’s not a friendly place.” Said the voice

“Who’s that?!” Whaehonah exclaimed as she spun around

“Nothing you need to be afraid of.” The voice said

The voice was definitely a filly’s voice, but Whaehonah couldn’t find a filly anywhere in sight.

“Where are you?” She asked

“You’ll find me in the upstairs closet.” Said the voice

“But you sound like you're here in the living room.” Whaehonah said

The voice didn’t respond, so Whaehonah just walked up the rotting stairs and started looking in closets. The first closet only held a few towels and what was left of a broom, the next closet just had a few clothes hangers, but the third one harbored something that was very disturbing. What she found, was a little filly that couldn’t have been any more than eight years old laying in a fetal position. Whaehonah was talking to a ghost the entire time and it led her to the closet where her skeleton was. Whaehonah left the house, headed for the car and looked up for a moment, there were no tree branches to keep her from flying off. Whaehonah left the car behind with the lights on so that she would be able to find the town when she returned with company. She flew over to Princess Twilight’s castle and told her about what she found.

“PRINCESS TWILIGHT!” She exclaimed

“What is it Whaehonah?” Twilight responded

“I need you to come with me and bring some guards with you, a detective wouldn’t hurt either.” She said

“Where am I going? You’re not really making any sense, what happened?” Twilight asked

“I don’t know what happened, but look for lights shining from the Ever Free Forest.” said Whaehonah

“Alright, I’ll get some guards and a detective, but I don’t know what kind of light to look for.” Twilight said, confused

“The light will be coming from my car and it should be a bright white light.” Whaehonah explained

“Alright, you go ahead of me, be sure to stay where you want us to head to.” Said Twilight

With that, Whaehonah flew back to the old town. But when she got back, the car’s lights had been turned off and the door was open, Whaehonah got back in the car, turned the lights back on then went and picked up the front of the car to shine the lights into the sky. It took a while, but Twilight, eight guards and a detective finally showed up and began to question Whaehonah.

“Alright, we’re here. What’s going on?” Twilight asked

“In that house, she’s in the back room closet upstairs.” She said as she put the front of the car down

“Your majesty, do you remember this town being here? I wasn’t aware of there even being a town in the Ever Free Forest.” Said one of the guards

“No, there’s nothing in any of my books about anything other than the castle of the two sisters being in the Ever Free Forest.” Said Twilight

They got to the back room closet and found her. The detective took a few pictures before the remains were taken away to the morgue. The guards searched the rest of the town to make sure that there were no more bodies. They found forty more skeletons, the detective called some extra cops and a cart to collect the bodies. Whaehonah was just standing next to her car, smoking a cigarette from a pack she took from a dilapidated store, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her and the guards were being watched, the detective and cops had the feeling as well, but at least they were armed with guns. But what good is a gun if you’re going against a spirit creature?

“We’ve got another one!” Said one of the cops

“Let’s bring it to the cart, also watch your step when you leave, you don’t wanna get that poison joke on you.” Said one of the guards

It seemed to take forever, but the cops gathered ten more bodies and took them out in carts. A total of fifty skeletons were found, most of them showing signs of burn spots on their pelvises where the cutie mark would be if they had flesh. Whaehonah didn’t think that she would need to bring law enforcement to one of the towns that she discovered. Twilight spoke

“Whaehonah, how did you find this town?” Twilight asked

“I was driving through the forest and saw two sets of glowing eyes, they were clearly pony eyes so I followed them and they led me here.” Said Whaehonah

“Apple Bloom mentioned seeing something like that years ago, I found her in the bushes a while after, I didn’t believe her about finding an old town because of her story.” Twilight explained

“Well she didn’t lie, I’m pretty sure she was being fully honest.” She said

“Well I didn’t know there was anything here and there’s nothing in any of my books about this place.” Twilight replied

“Your majesty, I think you should see this.” One of guards said, motioning towards another house

“Oh my gosh.” Said Twilight

“I don’t know how, but this wasn’t recently lit, and these should have been ash years ago.” Said the guard

“But, I didn’t see smoke coming from the chimney.” Said Twilight

The guards were trying to put out a burning skeleton. One of the cops eventually came in with a fire extinguisher, but the fire seemed to just burn the powder before it even touched the bones, this was strange. Then Twilight jumped in and hit the fire with a shot of magic, this managed to put the fire out. The guards brought the skeleton to one of the carts and they trotted away. One of the cops approached Whaehonah who was already lighting another cigarette.

“Hey, are you the one who reported these?” Said the cop

“Yes.” She answered

“Well thank you, we’ll keep you posted if you want.” Said the officer

“Please do, I’m already curious about what happened to them. I don’t know if you felt the presence, but if I could get information about what happened here, I could probably do something to comfort them.” She explained

“We definitely felt something strange here, but I don’t know if you can do anything about it, but we’ll keep you informed.” The officer replied

The officers and Twilight left the old town, Whaehonah following right behind them. This experience definitely shook Whaehonah to her own skeleton, but she just went to her brother’s house to stay for a while.

Author's Note

The newly discovered town is not something I came up with by myself and I will never take credit for it.

The last scare

Whaehonah arrived at her brother’s house, but before she could get out of the car something shut the car door.

“WHAT THE HELL!” She exclaimed

A familiar voice spoke to her.

“You're not getting out of there until you explain why you got me locked up.” Said the voice

It was Lightning Dust.

“You again!” She said

“You didn’t think I would be defeated that easily did you?” Said Lightning Dust

“I’ve had a very bad day already and I won’t have my day go any worse you fucking imbecile.” Whaehonah said as she unlatched the door

Whaehonah threw the door open so hard, it knocked Lightning Dust through the wall of a house across from Thyntiuos’s house. Lightning Dust got up and limped towards Whaehonah, then fell to the ground, blood started to puddle around her, Whaehonah walked over to see what happened and saw the stake that went through her chest piercing her heart. Whaehonah looked around, got back in the car and drove back to Povania.

On her way back to Povania, Whaehonah chain smoked the entire pack of cigarettes, it was the only thing that kept her stress level down at the moment. She decided to stop by the haunted town again for a few more packs of cigarettes, when she got to the town and got out of the car, she immediately felt like she was being watched by somepony or something, she didn’t know what was going on or what happened here, but she felt multiple eyes on her. She walked into the store and went behind the counter, picked up a large paper bag and filled it with packs of cigarettes. A voice spoke to her.

“You’re trespassing.” Said the voice

“What, who's there.?” She asked

“You’re trespassing.” The voice repeated

“This town is old and rotting, how am I trespassing.?” She said looking around for the source of the voice

“You are stealing.” The voice replied

Whaehonah looked around and eventually saw a figure emerging from a back room in the store, it looked like a green mare, but it didn’t have any eyes, only black pits where eyes would have been. The figure opened its mouth showing an endless void of darkness, it looked like it was getting ready to swallow her. Whaehonah grabbed the bag she packed, flew out of the store, got in the car and drove off. The figure stayed behind her the whole time, Whaehonah could hear hooves slapping the back of the car, suggesting that the creature was trying to get on top of it. She took one last look behind her, only to see what looked like a decayed pony trying to climb onto the car. Whaehonah floored the pedal and sped out of the town.

Once she was out of the town, the creature was nowhere to be seen, but she didn’t believe it was over yet. She completed her trip to Povania and once she drove past the sign with the town name, she let off the pedal and paced her way to Senthrio’s house. Upon arriving at her sister’s house, she entered and flopped down on the couch. Senthrio immediately noticed Whaehonah’s attitude, she was shaken up by something and Senthrio grew curious.

“Whaehonah, what’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen something that shouldn’t be.” Senthrio asked

“I’m pretty sure I did.” She replied

“What happened?” Senthrio asked

“I was in another old town getting some smokes and something began chasing me, it was definitely real and not a living creature due to its behavior and the rotting appearance.” She explained

“Was it in Sunny Town?” Senthrio asked

“Huh?” Whaehonah muttered

“The old town. Was it Sunny Town?” Senthrio repeated

“I don’t know, the sign was unreadable.” She answered

“Where is this old town?” Senthrio asked

“In the ever free forest through a patch of poison joke.” Whaehonah said, as she lit another cigarette

“You were in Sunny Town, and I must say that you’re super brave for going there because it’s extremely haunted. I have a book that explains what happened there, but I must warn you that it’s very disturbing. I didn’t sleep for six nights after reading it.” Senthrio said as she gave Whaehonah a book

“I’ll be giving this to Princess Twilight and after what I saw, I’m probably not going to sleep for the rest of my life.” She said

Whaehonah brought the book to her car and headed for Princess Twilight’s castle. The drive back to Ponyville seemed to take forever, but eventually she did arrive with her sanity intact. She got to Princess Twilight’s castle and went inside, after walking around for what felt like hours she found the library. Twilight was going crazy trying to find something, books were scattered around, scrolls were stacked to the ceiling and Twilight looked like she was about to explode.

“Princess Twilight, I have something for you.” Whaehonah said, pulling a book out of her saddle bag

“I’m busy right now Whaehonah, I’m trying to find something about that town you brought us to.” Twilight said as she levitated seven books into the air

“Actually, that’s what I have for you, my sister gave me a book about it.” Whaehonah said, showing Twilight the book

“Oh thanks, I couldn’t find a single thing about it anywhere.” Twilight said, taking the book

Twilight instantly started reading the book and her face quickly turned into an expression that suggested she read something she shouldn’t have. She then looked at Whaehonah and immediately knew that she had seen something worse.

“What have we found?” Twilight said with a shaky voice

“I don’t know your majesty.” She replied

“This is something beyond horrible. No wonder I’ve never heard about this, who would even wanna talk about this.” Twilight said, closing the book

Whaehonah then explained her last sighting in the town and Twilight’s face went pale. After a moment of silence, there was knocking on the castle door. Whaehonah and Twilight went and answered, it was the detective who investigated the scene.

Author's Note

The town in question is not something I came up with myself, Whaehonah is a wanderer and just so happened to come across it.

Truth that never should’ve been found

When Twilight greeted the detective, he immediately saw her shock and started with the questions.

“Princess Twilight, you look like you just found something horrible. What’s going on?” He asked

“I just read the town’s history, and it’s beyond anything I’ve ever faced. No wonder I didn’t have any books about it.” Twilight said, her voice shaking as she spoke

“Well did you at least get a name for the town?” The detective asked

“Sunny Town, and there’s nothing good about it.” Twilight replied

“What happened?” He asked

“Horrible things, anypony who got their cutie mark had it burnt off, and a little filly was burned alive. I stopped reading after that.” Twilight said in tears

The detective then questioned Whaehonah.

“Damn. You miss, what’s got you shaken up?” The detective asked

“I saw something.” Said Whaehonah

“Do you mind sharing?” He asked

“I’m not sure you’ll believe me if I told you.” Whaehonah said, backing away slightly

“After what I experienced there, I’m sure I will. Let’s hear it.” The detective said holding a tape recorder out

“I don’t know if it was an undead pony or a ghost, but it was definitely something. It attacked me in one of the stores in Sunny Town.” She said

The detective and Twilight were both shocked.

“Do you remember any details?” The detective asked

“It was green, it had black pits where its eyes were and it opened its mouth wider than what should’ve been possible showing an endless void of darkness.” She explained

“Wow. I do believe you, I saw something crazy as well. I saw a cloaked pony in the same building where we found the filly in the fireplace. He came at me with a red glowing knife and he had no eyes, only black pits with glowing red pupils.” The detective explained, holding the microphone towards himself

“There’s definitely something wrong with that town, I didn’t think ghosts or anything like that were real.” Said Twilight

“I have something for both of you.” Said Whaehonah

She then pulled a picture out of her saddle bag and gave it to the detective.

“Wow, look at that!” The detective said in surprise

“That’s horrifying.” Said Twilight

“That’s what you saw?” The detective said, pointing at the thing in the picture

It was a picture of the thing that Whaehonah saw, and the creature was just like she explained. It turns out that Whaehonah had a camera in the back window of her car and was able to snap a picture of the thing that she encountered. There was a moment of silence between the three before Whaehonah spoke.

“What do we do now?” She asked

“I don’t think there’s anything else we can do.” Said Twilight

“All I can say is that I need to add this picture to my folder on the Sunny Town case. There’s nothing else we can do for that town, but this picture needs to be put with the files as it’s a picture of something that was there.” The detective explained

Whaehonah gave the picture to the detective then walked out of the castle to smoke another cigarette.

“What happened to you?” A voice asked

Whaehonah looked over and saw Starlight standing next to the car.

“I stumbled across an old town in the ever free forest and I regret it.” Whaehonah said, taking a long puff from her cigarette

“There’s a town in the forest?” Starlight asked

“Yes, it’s called sunny town, and it’s not a good place. There’s evil there.” She replied

“Can you take me to it?” Starlight asked

“I’m not going back there.” She said

“Come on, I want to see it.” Starlight begged

“Fine, I’ll take you there, but I’m not getting out of the car.” Whaehonah said, getting into the car

Whaehonah started the car, opened the windows to let the smoke out and brought Starlight to Sunny Town.

Author's Note

Sunny Town is still not something I came up with myself, Whaehonah just happened to find it and it’s twisted history.

Preparing to bless the town of terror

Whaehonah and Starlight Glimmer arrived at Sunny Town, but before Starlight could get out of the car, Whaehonah stopped her.

“Wait Starlight, before you get out, I need to ask you if you can go into that store and get me a few more cartons of cigarettes in this saddle bag.” She said passing her saddle bag to Starlight

“Sure, I don’t know why you want to smoke cigarettes though.” Starlight said taking the bag

Starlight Glimmer got out of the car and walked towards the old store, while Whaehonah stayed in the car and chain smoked cigarettes like there was no tomorrow. A sudden crash and blasts of magic erupted from the store as Whaehonah went to get another cigarette from her pack. Whaehonah got out of the car and flew into the store, but all she saw was a big mess and Starlight emptying the cigarette shelves in a big hurry.

“What happened Starlight? I heard a lot of noise coming from in here.” She asked

“Let’s just get back to your car and get out of here.” Starlight said as she got the last of the tobacco products in the bag

They got back to the car and Starlight floored the pedal. Whaehonah didn’t think that Starlight could drive her car but it turns out that she had watched Whaehonah and knew what to do.

“What happened Starlight?” Whaehonah asked

“I’ll tell you when we get back to Ponyville.” Starlight said as she slowed the car down

“Well just take us back to Twilight’s castle” Whaehonah responded

The drive back to Ponyville was quick and Starlight brought the car to a skidding halt when they arrived at Twilight’s castle. The commotion got Twilight’s attention and she came running out.

“What in Celestia’s name happened to you two?” Twilight asked as Starlight and Whaehonah got out of the car

“Twilight, do you have any information on a town called Sunny Town?” Starlight asked in a shaky voice

“I do, but it’s beyond anything I’ve read in the horror genre.” She answered

“Let me see the book.” Starlight requested

“You look too” Twilight said before being cut off

“Give me the book Twilight!” Starlight demanded

“Alright! I’m warning you though, it’s nothing like anything in the” Twilight said being cut off again

“Horror genre, I get it.” Starlight said before opening the book

Starlight began reading the book, Whaehonah hovered above Starlight to read it herself. As Starlight read through the book, she noticed a page that had been marked on. The markings were not ponish, they weren’t even symbols of ancient writing, it seemed like they were marked to cover this section of the book.

“Twilight, do you think you could try and look past these markings?” Starlight asked

“I really don’t want to read that book again.” Twilight replied

“It’s just one page Twilight, I just need you to try and see through the markings.” Starlight explained

While Starlight was trying to get Twilight to read the page, Whaehonah decided to try and read it.

“Marks covered them, they had to die so that we wouldn’t.” Whaehonah managed to read

Both Twilight and Starlight looked at Whaehonah with shocked expressions.

“You can read that?” Twilight asked

“It’s pretty hard because of the heavy scribbles, but at least the scribbles are red.” She replied

“Well, finish it, I have a quill and paper ready.” Twilight responded

“The marks seemed to turn them into puppets, forcing them to perform each thing that they showed, it was obviously a curse. We thought we did everything right, but the marks began appearing on them twice one by one. They had to die, we couldn’t let it spread. I’m the last one, hopefully I can hold out long enough to finish.” She read

“Finish what?” Twilight asked

“That’s where it ends.” She replied

“Well at least I have the page written here, I don’t understand why these ponies would consider cutie marks a curse.” Said Twilight

“It mentioned marks appearing all over their bodies, but I’ve only ever seen them on ponies’ flanks, and it was just one of the same thing on each side. So I think this was something else.” Whaehonah said pointing at the page

“Cutie pox. It was the cutie pox!” Twilight exclaimed

Whaehonah then got an idea. She went back to the car and drove off back to Povania. The hope was that she could put an end to the haunting and have another town to hang out in. She just needed to find a book on how to get rid of these spirits, so she figured that since Sunny Town was super old, the library in Povania would have a book on how to get rid of the haunting. On her way to Povania, Whaehonah noticed a familiar pony walking into the thicker parts of the forest. It was a white stallion that she remembered seeing years ago, she remembered seeing two fillies with him and then hearing the screaming of fillies coming from an old house in the same direction. Whaehonah floored the pedal and sped in the direction of the pony, once he was in her sight, she ran him down then turned the car around and ran him down again, but she wasn’t done there, Whaehonah backed the car over the pony before running him down forward again. She got out of the car to see her work, the pony was only alive by a thread and managed to speak three words

“Please, have, mercy.” The pony said in a weak voice

“Mercy? Mercy? After what you did, there’s no mercy. Now, let’s see how you like being eaten.” Whaehonah said before digging in

The pony could only cry softly before dying of his injuries and blood loss from Whaehonah eating his flesh. After Whaehonah had eaten the last of the pony, she carried the bones and put them in the back of the car. Whaehonah then looked up towards the trail and saw another familiar pony. It was Pinkie Pie.

“Whaehonah?” Pinkie said in shock

“Pinkie Pie, I can explain.” She responded

Pinkie didn’t give Whaehonah any time to speak and ran off. Whaehonah flew after her, Pinkie was fast but Whaehonah managed to catch up to her.

“Pinkie please, you have to listen to me.” Whaehonah begged

“Don’t eat me, please.” Pinkie begged

“I’m not going to, I just need to explain myself before you say anything.” She said

“Alright, I’ll hear you out.” Said Pinkie

The two mares sat down on the front of the car, Whaehonah lit up a cigarette and had a few puffs before telling Pinkie Pie what her motive was.

“That pony was actually a criminal, a cannibal who lured two fillies into his house years ago and killed them.” She explained

“What was his cutie mark?” Pinkie asked

“Huh, what?” She asked

“What was his cutie mark?” Pinkie asked a second time

“Three red balloons. Why?” She responded

“I know him.” Said Pinkie

Whaehonah didn’t expect Pinkie to know this horrible pony.

“You know that psycho?!” Whaehonah said in surprise

“Yes, he ponynapped me and my sister years ago.” Pinkie explained

“Were you that pink filly I saw being led into that house?” She asked

“Was the other filly grey?” Pinkie asked

“Yes.” She replied

“Were you the one who called the guards?” Pinkie asked

“No, I was a filly myself, but there was an older grey mare in the woods who must have seen him.” She explained

“Well, although I don’t like the way you did it, I’m glad he’s gone.” Pinkie said, looking into the back of the car

“I only wanted him to suffer for what he had done.” She said lighting another cigarette before getting back in the car

“Hey Whaehonah, do you mind giving me a ride back to Ponyville?” Pinkie asked

“Sure.” Whaehonah said motioning to the other side of the car

The entire drive back to Ponyville, Pinkie Pie couldn’t shut up, she was on a roll talking about random things. Whaehonah just put her window down and lit another cigarette and continued the drive.

“Whaehonah, you missed the turn into Ponyville.” Said Pinkie

“I know, I need to get something from Canterlot.” She replied

“Oh oh, what is it?” Pinkie said in her overly excited tone

“I need to get a book on the paranormal.” She responded

“Going on a ghost hunt? Oh can I come? Can I can I?” Pinkie asked

“No, there’s an abandoned town in the ever free forest that I want to scrounge through and it’s extremely haunted, so I want to bless it and get rid of the spirits.” She explained

“Sunny Town? Why would you even go there, it’s horrifying?.” Said Pinkie

Whaehonah didn’t even bother asking how Pinkie knew about the town.

“I want to look around for cool vintage stuff, but I can’t do that without being attacked by spirits right now.” She replied

“I understand, I’ll help you look if you want me to.” Pinkie said

“Sure, the sooner I find something the better.” She responded before speeding up

Whaehonah drove through the gates of Canterlot and headed straight for Canterlot library, Pinkie Pie still going on about random things the whole trip. Whaehonah finally pulled up to the library and got out of the car and went inside, she hadn’t been inside the door for three seconds and she heard the car horn honking. She bolted out to see Pinkie playing with the car horn.

“Wow, that’s loud but fun! It sounds like my party horns but deeper and louder.” Pinkie said as she continued to honk the horn while laughing

“PINKIE PIE!!!” Whaehonah yelled out

“Yes.” Pinkie said looking at Whaehonah

“Will you please stop playing with the horn?” She asked

“Sure, but it’s so much fun.” Said Pinkie

“I’ll see if my brother has any more of them, but would you kindly stop playing with this one.? We are near a library after all.” She asked

“Alright.” Pinkie said with a smile

Whaehonah walked back into the library and asked the desk pony if they had any books on the paranormal. The desk pony nodded and showed her to the row. Whaehonah wasn’t really surprised that they didn’t have many books on the topic, since hauntings weren’t really common. As she was going through the books, Whaehonah found two books that described the same events that her and Starlight experienced.
Whaehonah brought the books to the desk pony to check them out. Once she had the books, she walked back to the car, got in and left for Ponyville to drop Pinkie off.

“Did you find anything?” Pinkie asked

“Yes, I’m ready to go back to the town and do battle.” She replied

“Battle?” Pinkie asked

“The book talks about spiritual battle, usually if spirits are violent, you will have to fight them, it also says that it’s a good idea to have a unicorn on your side.” Whaehonah explained

“Well I know three unicorns. Well actually two unicorns and an alicorn but you get the idea.” Pinkie said spastically

“Starlight, Rarity and Twilight, I know. I’m gonna ask Twilight and Starlight since they both should know what to do.” She replied

Whaehonah dropped Pinkie off at the place called Sugarcube Corner and went back to Twilight’s castle get her and Starlight so that she would at least have some kind of magical advantage over the situation. As soon as she got to the castle, Whaehonah noticed that Starlight was being hauled away in a medical cart. She got out of the car and ran up to the med pony who was currently questioning Twilight about the situation.

“What happened? Is Starlight okay?” She asked

“Miss Glimmer had a melt down and was screaming about a green mare attacking her during her nap.” Said the med pony

“A green mare? Did she describe what the mare looked like?” She asked

“She said the pony had no eyes and an endless void for a mouth. Which is very interesting, so we’re gonna be treating her for hallucinations.” The med pony replied

“Does this fit her description?” Whaehonah said giving the med pony a picture of the mare in question

The med pony’s eyes widened when he saw the picture and immediately changed the chart to a case of post traumatic stress disorder.

“Okay, this I didn’t expect. Where was this taken?” Said the med pony

“A town in the forest.” She replied

The med pony gave Whaehonah a look that spelled out an answer.

“You’ve been there haven’t you?” Twilight asked

“Yes, when I was a colt and I was lucky to get away with my life.” Said the med pony

“Well, I hope you can help Starlight.” Said Twilight

“We’ll do what we can.” Said the med pony as he got into a cab and left

Whaehonah grabbed the books out of her car and went inside the castle to talk to Twilight.

“Twilight, if you’re not too busy, I need your help.” She said as she walked into the throne room

“How can I help you?” Twilight asked

“Since you’re an alicorn, you can help me with Sunny Town, I have a couple books that tell how to successfully get rid of this type of haunting.” She explained

Twilight gave Whaehonah a strange look but decided to listen.

“Go on.” Twilight replied

“These two books say that I need a unicorn assistant due to the fact that I’m a pegasus and since I’m down one option, I need you.” She explained again

Twilight was not crazy about the idea of going back to that town, but if it meant that other ponies who stumble upon it wouldn’t be in danger, she was willing to help.

“I will help you get rid of the hauntings, but when we’re done there, I want you to come back to the school and learn some more.” Said Twilight

“Fine, let’s do it.” She agreed

Twilight gathered some supplies and Whaehonah went back to the car and waited. Twilight walked out and Whaehonah motioned for her to get in the car. Twilight got in and they made their way to Sunny Town to put an end to this situation once and for all.

Author's Note

I’m still not taking credit for Sunny Town. Whaehonah’s snooping just happened to bring her there in her story.

Living vs Dead

Whaehonah couldn’t go without smoking for the entire trip to Sunny Town. Twilight was visibly shaking for the entire trip, but as soon as they turned at the poison joke patch, she knew that she had to be strong due to what she had read in the books that Whaehonah had checked out at Canterlot library. The books said that fear will feed most malevolent spirits and make her vulnerable to an attack in certain situations. They arrived at Sunny Town and they both knew that the night ahead of them was gonna be long and rough. Whaehonah parked the car in front of the old store, grabbed the book and they both got out of the car.

“What does it say we need to do first?” Twilight asked

“First we need to place five crosses in a circle formation.” She replied

“Do we have any crosses?” Twilight asked

“No but I saw some in the first house I looked in. Follow me and keep this spell ready.” She replied before heading into the house

As soon as Whaehonah stepped hoof into the old house, they heard a loud crash. It was a bookshelf that had been thrown against a fireplace, luckily there was a cross next to it. Whaehonah walked over and picked up the cross then put it in her saddle bag.

“This place is giving me some bad feelings.” Twilight said, visibly shaking

“I know, that’s why we’re here to do this.” Whaehonah said before going to the room where she saw another cross

The second Whaehonah started to go up the stairs, a large rocking chair started flying at her. Twilight managed to catch the chair with her magic and put it next to the bookshelf before it could hit Whaehonah.

“Thanks Twilight.” She said

“You’re welcome.” Twilight responded

“It’s almost night and we still have four crosses to collect.” She replied

“Well let’s get to it.” Said Twilight

Whaehonah proceeded to the top floor and walked down the hallway to the back room. She grabbed the cross and placed it in her saddle bag, but when she turned around to walk out of the room, she noticed the closet door slowly opening. Whaehonah booked it for the door to leave the room, but it slammed shut, the closet door was still slowly opening. Whaehonah began kicking the door, but it wouldn’t budge, she bowed up and bucked the door as hard as she could. After three attempts to break down the door and the closet door nearly open, Whaehonah heard Twilight on the other side.

“Get out of the way!” Twilight shouted

Whaehonah didn’t hesitate and jumped out of the way before a loud blast of magic erupted finally disintegrating the door. Whaehonah flew out of the room and they both left the house, not even looking back to see what may have come out of the closet. Whaehonah motioned for the car, they got in and Whaehonah decked it.

“What happened back there?” Twilight asked

“I grabbed the cross from the dresser, the door slammed shut and the next thing I know, the closet door is creaking open. I’m gonna go buy the last three crosses, because I don’t want to spend anymore time being put in danger.” She explained

“Well I didn’t hear a door slam, I just looked over and saw the doorway being blocked by some black figure.” Twilight explained

Whaehonah didn’t even bother asking how any of that was possible and just continued her trip to the antique shop in Ponyville. The shop owner was just closing when they arrived.

“Wait wait wait. I need to get something.!” She exclaimed

“We’re closed mam, you’ll have to come back in the morning.” The pony said turning the sign around to closed

At this point, Twilight stepped out of the car and walked up to him.

“Sir, I know it’s nearly dusk, but it’s urgent that we come in and purchase three equestrian crosses, please.” Twilight asked

“Equestrian crosses eh. Well if it’s that important, I suppose I can spare a few minutes to go get them for you two.” Said the pony

“Yes, there’s some horrible spiritual activity going on in an old town and it would be terrible if somepony went there and got hurt by this or even worse, possessed by something evil.” Twilight explained.

“That would be horrible, I’ll go get them and you can have them for free.” Said the pony

“I’ll pay you sir, no need to just give them to us.” Whaehonah said, grabbing a bag of bits out of her saddle bag.

The pony went inside, grabbed a box of ancient crosses and brought it to Whaehonah and Twilight.
Whaehonah gave the pony the bag of bits, took the crosses and ran back to the car before the pony could give the bits back. Twilight got back in the car, but the pony knocked on the window, Twilight pushed the button to put the window down. Once the window was open, the pony went to give some bits back, but Whaehonah refused to take anything back and put her hoof up to signify her decision.

“Before we head back, what else is needed?” Twilight asked

“It says that we need a cup of water from something called the mirror pond.” She read

“The mirror pond? But I sealed it off.” Twilight replied

“Well where is it?” She asked

“I’ll take us there. I’ve watched you and know how to operate this.” Twilight said

Whaehonah jumped in the back seat and Twilight started the car and drove to the mirror pond. The drive wasn’t too long, but it did take some time for them to find the place, Twilight looked around and found the hole which had been uncovered. Neither of them had time to figure out who opened the cave, Whaehonah grabbed a cup out from the back of the car and they walked in.

“Before you scoop some water, I must tell you, do not touch this water, it might still work without the rhyme.” Said Twilight

“Well noted.” Whaehonah said, grabbing a ladle from her bag.

She dipped some water out of the pond and poured it into the cup. Twilight cast a spell on the cup so that the water wouldn’t spill out before they got back to the old town.

“What’s next?” Twilight asked

“It says we need to draw an octagon in the circle of crosses to place the cup in.” She read before driving back to the old town

When they got back to Sunny Town, things immediately picked up, they both started hearing voices that were chanting one phrase.

“We are yee naaldlooshii.” The voices continued to say

Whaehonah began preparing the ritual while Twilight kept the defense spell ready. It was hard for Whaehonah to focus on the preparations with all the chanting going on around them, but after a few minutes, the set up was complete.

“It’s done Twilight.” She said

“What’s the next step?” Twilight asked

“We need to get inside the circle of crosses.” She said

Twilight did not hesitate and jumped into the circle.

“It says that the crosses are to show the spirits and to protect us while one chants this and the unicorn casts this spell to contain the spirits in the mirror pond water.” Whaehonah read before passing the book to Twilight

Whaehonah began chanting, and Twilight got the spell ready for battle.

“wóshdę́ę́” She chanted repeatedly

The spirits began swarming them, Twilight didn’t think she could do this for long, there were more spirits than bodies.

“How is it possible that there are so many of them?” Twilight asked herself

Three hours passed, Twilight and Whaehonah were getting tired and exhausted both physically and mentally. The last of the spirits were approaching them, Twilight readied the spell but dropped to ground from exhaustion. The spirits were right next to the circle and ready to attack when something grabbed them and pulled them underground.

“Down to hell with you three!” A voice yelled out

“Who’s there?” Whaehonah asked

“I am no threat to you mam.” The voice said

“Who or what are you?” She asked

A figure arose from the ground and approached her right after she asked that. It was an undead pony.

“I’m one of few who attempted this ritual but failed.” Said the pony

Whaehonah backed away.

“No no, no need to fear me madam, I’m just a pony who tried to get rid of this years ago.” The pony said reassuring Whaehonah

Whaehonah decided to test him. She walked out of the circle and stood right in front of the decaying stallion. He didn’t even groan at her, but Whaehonah wasn’t about to let her guard down that easily.

“My name is Planter.” Said the pony introducing himself

“I’m Whaehonah. How come you’re showing up just now, why didn’t you rise up and take them out earlier?” She asked

“I couldn’t, the ones that killed me hadn’t been destroyed until recently.” Planter explained

“Do you at least know what they were saying?” She asked

“Yes, they were saying I am skinwalker.” Said Planter

Something about that made Whaehonah quiver. She had read about skinwalkers and she had learned that they were nothing but raw evil.

“I’ve read about them and I can’t believe that something like that actually exists.” She said

“Well that’s what possessed the ponies of this town to do what they did. At least now that the five skinwalkers who killed me are dead, I will finally be able to restin peace.” Planter explained

“I’m glad we could help.” She said

“Let me help you back to your, um, thing over there.” Said Planter

“It’s a car.” She said

“Oh okay, I’ll carry her.” Said Planter

They brought Twilight to the car and packed the rest of the stuff in the back.

“Where are you from if you don’t mind me asking?” She asked

“I’m from Ponyville.” Said Planter

“Would you at least like to say goodbye to any family members?” She asked

“Sure.” Planter said, getting into the car

The final visit to the town of horrors

Whaehonah followed Planter’s directions to his house. Once they arrived, Twilight woke up.

“What happened, did we do it?” Twilight asked

“It’s over Twilight.” Whaehonah answered

Twilight looked over and saw Planter in the front seat next to her.

“Ah, zombie pony!” Twilight screamed

“No no no, there’s no need to be afraid of him, he saved us when you passed out from exhaustion.” She explained

“I’m just a victim of the skinwalkers, just like everypony else in that town.” Planter explained before getting out of the car

Planter walked up to his house and knocked on the door. Whaehonah got out of the car to make sure nothing goes wrong. An elderly mare answered the door and was clearly shocked.

“Hello, is this Wet Stone’s house?” Planter asked

The elderly mare got a good long look at Planter, she eventually looked at his flank. Noticing his cutie mark being three seeds and garden soil, she lunged out and hugged him while crying.

“Planter. What happened to you?” Said the mare

“I was killed by skinwalkers, but these two ponies defeated them, allowing me to get my revenge on the ones who assisted in the murder, and I’m so glad to see you again Wet Stone.” Said Planter also shedding tears

“Don’t leave me like that again.” Said Wet Stone

Whaehonah noticed their love for each other and looked over at Twilight.

“Is there a way?” She asked

“I’ll be back.” Twilight said before racing to her castle for a possible solution

Whaehonah just sat down on the road and smoked a cigarette while waiting for Twilight. It didn’t take more than twelve minutes before Twilight returned with a book and a crystal.

“Okay, we don’t have much time so I have to work quickly with no distractions.” Said Twilight

With that Twilight cast a spell through the crystal and within minutes the crystal began to glow a bright green. Twilight then tied a string to the crystal and put it around Planter’s neck causing him to glow yellow. It took thirty minutes, but Planter started breathing, his voice got smoother and less echoey, his skin began to heal and return, his thick brown mane and tail grew back in, his coat returned to its original bright yellow color, his eyes came back and turned back into magenta and his teeth were no longer rotting. Planter was alive again.

“It’s a miracle, you’re alive. Thank you Princess.” Wet Stone said hugging Twilight

“It was no miracle, just a life transfer spell, this crystal turns magic into life, but there’s only one thing left to do here.” Said Twilight

She then performed an age spell which made Wet Stone a year younger than Planter again. Both Wet Stone and Planter were amazed at what Twilight was able to do and were very thankful for their second chance.

“Thank you, both of you if it weren’t for your ritual, I wouldn’t have been able to come home.” Said Planter

“You’re welcome.” Whaehonah said as she walked back to the car and drove off back to the old town

Twilight headed back to her castle to get some well earned rest.

Whaehonah drove back to Sunny Town to search for things that could either be useful or valuable. When she got to the old town, she noticed that she hadn’t disposed of the cup of water yet. She grabbed the cup and the first thing she noticed was that it was no longer mirror shiny but black as night. Whaehonah knew that this must be due to all the evil that was trapped inside, so she put it in the car, sealed the cup with a jar lid, then started looking in houses.

The majority of the houses had nothing but broken furniture and empty cabinets, but there was one building that actually had some salvageable items, in an old party shop, Whaehonah grabbed a bag full of party streamers, some party horns that were still brand new in their boxes and some beautiful old party cups, there was also a load of cans full of confetti which she grabbed and bagged. She then loaded her items into the back of the car and proceeded to the old mausoleum, maybe there was something else there that was good.

Whaehonah made her way to the mausoleum and entered the old building, the floorboards looked weak but the royal guards didn’t have any issues walking on them. She walked around, but there was nothing, not even a broom closet and the fireplace had been swept out by the guards while they were collecting the bodies.

When she didn’t find anything else in town, Whaehonah got back in the car to drive back to Ponyville. On her way back to the forest pathway, she spotted the same two sets of eyes that led her to Sunny Town. Whaehonah stopped the car and the two ponies responsible for her discovery came over to her side of the car. She opened the window and they spoke.

“Thank you.” Said one of the ponies

“For what?” She asked

“You have ended the curse, now this year on nightmare night, we won’t have to worry about anypony else coming to town and being lost.” Said the other pony

“Being lost?” She asked

“Yes, every nightmare night this town has tricked ponies, it looks welcoming at first, but eventually it turns back into a rotted state and the residents have always claimed the ones who were fooled. Now that will no longer happen, because you and your friend managed to get rid of the source that we didn’t know about.” Said the first pony

“Oh, you’re welcome then.” She said

“Now both of us can rest in peace together.” Said the second pony

“Wait. You’re both dead?” She asked

“Yes, I lost my life to the lies and my friend Mitta, lost her life after death helping a filly escape that town.” Said the pony

“Mitta. I remember hearing that name somewhere, but I won’t hold you two here any longer.” She replied

With that, the two ponies faded away and Whaehonah finished her trip back to Ponyville. Once she arrived in Ponyville, Whaehonah parked the car next to a bakery and took a nap since she had been awake all night and needed some sleep.

Author's Note

I’m still not taking credit for Sunny Town. It’s just a place where Whaehonah had been in her life.

Back into hiding

Whaehonah laid back and napped in her car for a while, she hoped that she could at least get a couple hours of sleep before going to the hospital to check on Starlight. After an hour of sleep, Whaehonah was awoken by hooves tapping on the car window, she looked up, and it was Pinkie Pie. She opened the door to greet the pink mare before her.

“Hi Whaehonah, did you fall asleep waiting for me to open the bakery.?” Pinkie asked, opening the door all the way

“No, I was just taking a nap since I was awake all night. I didn’t know you owned a bakery.” She replied

“Yeah, it’s Sugarcube Corner, I don’t own the bakery, it belongs to Mr. and Mrs Cake actually, I just work and live here.” Pinkie explained

“Well, how much for an apple pie? I could use some breakfast after a long night of trapping ghosts and skinwalkers.” She said with her stomach growling

Pinkie Pie ran into the bakery, then ran out with an apple pie in hoof.

“That’ll be two bits please.” Pinkie said presenting the pie

Whaehonah held out two bits and took the pie while Pinkie took the bits.

“Thanks Pinkie.” She said

“You’re welcome.” Pinkie said and got in the car from the other side

Whaehonah was too busy chowing to notice the pink mare right next to her in the seat, so when she finished her breakfast, she was surprised by Pinkie sitting next to her so close.

“Well how was it?” Pinkie asked

“It was good, but I think I swallowed something metal.” She replied

“Oh, did I forget to mention that I gave you a spoon?” Pinkie asked

“And you're just telling me this now?” She replied, a little frustrated at the late mentioning of the spoon

“Don’t worry, I can just quadruple wash it later.” Pinkie said, patting Whaehonah’s head

“You’re a bit weird.” She replied

“So, since we’re already in this car thingy, do you think you could bring me to Rarity's house? I need to give her a birthday surprise.” Pinkie asked

“Sure.” She said, starting the car

Whaehonah drove off to Rarity’s boutique with Pinkie next to her talking up a storm. She didn’t think that one pony could have so much to say all the time. They arrived at the place called carousel boutique and Pinkie got out of the car, still talking and hopped up to the door and went in. Whaehonah didn’t want to have to sit through another word storm, so she drove back to Povania.

“Damn, how can one pony have so much on their mind.” She asked herself

The drive back to Povania was pretty uneventful, so Whaehonah decided to take a shortcut that would get her there quickly. But before she could turn down the trail, she was stopped by a group of guards which surrounded the car, pointing spears at her. Whaehonah put her windows up and thought for a second. She then put the pedal to the metal and did a spin, knocking the guards into trees and bushes, then proceeded to speed to Canterlot and see what was up with this, she had done nothing wrong and yet she got surrounded by guards again. When she got on the road to Canterlot she heard banging on the top of the car, looking behind her she saw guards in the sky and realized she was being shot at. The arrows couldn’t penetrate the car, but she didn’t want to arrive at Celestia’s castle and get shot, so she stopped the car. The guards landed and immediately surrounded her, bows and arrows drawn, ready to shoot her. Whaehonah sounded the horn, deafening her followers just long enough to speed off to the castle. Upon arriving in the castle yard, Celestia greeted her with a statement that was not expected.

“Whaehonah, please step out of the car and come forward.” Celestia said in her royal voice

This was not expected, she didn’t do anything wrong.

“If I have to say it again, we’re pulling you out. Step out of the car now.” Celestia warned

Whaehonah opened the window and Celestia approached, a spell ready.

“Don’t make this worse Whaehonah.” Celestia said, peering into the car

“What did I do?” She asked

“I said help catch Lightning Dust, not kill her.” Said Celestia

“I did help to catch her.” She replied

“You killed her, we found her in Ponyville dead in a pool of her own blood.” Celestia responded

“She attacked me, I didn’t kill her.” She explained

“She was impaled by a wooden stake through her heart.” Said Celestia

“I didn’t intend on killing her, I just wanted to push her away.” She explained

“If you knew she died from your defense, then why did you leave the scene?” Celestia asked

“I was angry at the time, I didn’t care, nor did I want to look at her anymore.” She said

“Well, now you’re under arrest for murder and new accounts of cannibalism, please step out of this car now.” Celestia demanded

Whaehonah did not comply, she just closed the window, backed away and sped off. The pegasus guards followed, shooting arrows at her the entire time. Whaehonah drove right back into the forest, she thought that if she could get into the thick trees and brush, that the guards would lose her. Eventually the guards did lose her, but Whaehonah knew that they would be searching for her on hoof, so she decided to put some flaps on the car to cover her tracks since that was one way that the guards would be tracking her. Once she had the flaps in place, she took off again and had no plans to go back to civilization, since it was not only too stressful, but she was now back to being an outcast and a wanted cannibal.

Nopony got to know Whaehonah very well and they won’t now, she’s still around though and if you see her, it’s best just to leave her alone, otherwise you risk being her next meal.

Author's Note

This is the end of the story, thanks for reading. If it’s not that great, I’m open to any suggestions for improvement if you have any.

Whaehonah’s family road trip

Whaehonah returned home from her journey and had a story to tell, but when she entered the cave she saw something cornering her parents. It was a cockatrice, whaehonah snuck up behind it, grabbed it then broke its neck and ate it. Her parents watched her in shock the whole time as she tore up and ate the cockatrice, she was already known for eating meat but she had never tore flesh from bone like this.

“Whaehonah, I’ve never seen you like this, did that thing set you off cornering us.?” Jecariah asked, still in shock. “Yes Mom, I don’t like to see you and Dad suffer.” Whaehonah replied.

Whaehonah didn’t mean to scare her mother or her father, but she was hungry and she didn’t want her parents to get hurt by that cockatrice, so she did the one thing that could solve both issues.

After her snack and discussion, Whaehonah decided to show her transportation to her parents. Jecariah and Rephincioe were curious about the machine before them.

“What is this?” Rephincioe and Jecariah asked simultaneously “Thyntiuos calls it a car. It’s a cart with an engine.” Whaehonah replied “How does it work?” Rephincioe asked “Well you turn this key until it won’t go anymore and that turns it on, then you pull this handle until the orange pointer is over the D or one of the numbers and push the right lever in to make it go forward and to make it go backwards you move the handle until the pointer is over the R and push the right lever and to stop it you push the left lever.” Whaehonah answered

Whaehonah decided to give her parents a ride to see Senthrio. She did vow to never go to that town again, but she remembered what the dark stallion said to her, he practically said that he didn’t want to stay there. Jecariah and Rephincioe liked the upholstery, despite the machine looking like something from a horror story, the upholstery was luxurious and very comfortable to sit on.

Whaehonah started the car and began the trip to whatever the name of town Senthrio lives in.
Not much scares Whaehonah but she hoped that the same cloaked pony wouldn’t be at the town when they got there. Whaehonah and her parents traveled for miles before they got to the town where Senthrio lives, Jecariah got the chills just looking at the place and Rephincioe was having the same feelings only two percent less, they didn’t like being in this town but Senthrio lives here, so it couldn’t be as bad as they think. When they arrived at Senthrio’s house, she was already outside looking at her doorway for another door. Whaehonah yelled out the window to get Senthrio’s attention.

“Whaehonah! I didn’t expect you back here so soon, what are you doing back here, I thought you left for good, you darted out of town without saying goodbye, so nice to see you again, how are you doing.?” Senthrio said spastically “Well, it’s daytime so I feel safer in this town and I’m doing good.” Whaehonah replied “Hi Senthrio, how are you?” Jecariah called out as she crawled out of the car “I’m great, a little lonely but great, nopony ever comes here, so it’s quiet and the restaurant is nothing but an empty building with no doors or windows, but other than that, it’s a great life.” Senthrio replied “How can you live in such place, you don’t even have a door on your house?” Rephincioe asked “Oh It’s not as bad as it looks, plus I was looking at my doorway to gather some measurements for a door, I’ve seen some doors on other buildings on the other end of town, I’m gonna retrieve one of those, but I must know if any of them will fit.” Senthrio answered “Well we’ll help you and I’ll install it for you.” Rephincioe offered. So they went out to retrieve a door for Senthrio’s house, They searched all over the town, but, every door seemed too big or too small.

They eventually came across a house on the darkest side of town, the door was just the right size, but the inside part was decorated with some strange paint patterns. They took the door and put it on the roof of the car and while Rephincioe and Jecariah tied it down, Whaehonah went to look at a book that interested her. The title read (history of Povania), this intrigued Whaehonah, so she grabbed it and put it in a saddle bag that she saw next to the doorway and made her way back to the car and placed her newfound possessions in the backseat of the car and got in. They made their way back to Senthrio’s house and put the door on the hinges, once the door was installed, Whaehonah decided to drive around the town and explore for more treasures, since the town was abandoned other than Senthrio living in it, she knew that nothing would be missed. She gathered five more interesting items, two pairs of shackles, a typewriter, a bloody cult knife and a ripped magician cape.

Whaehonah returned to have lunch with Senthrio, since they hadn’t had any food for a while. After eating they had to go, they all waved goodbye and Whaehonah drove back to the cave in the everfree forest. On their way back, Whaehonah saw the same cloaked figure walking very slowly in the direction of the castle ruins on the far side of the forest, she swerved into the bushes to avoid hitting him, Whaehonah lost all control of the car and hit a tree, knocking it miles away. The attention of the pony was turned towards Whaehonah and her parents, the pony opened the door on Whaehonah’s side and saw her head pressed up against the front window then spoke, “Before I do anything, I must ask if you are pure of heart.?” The pony asked in a serious tone “What are you gonna do?” Whaehonah asked before coughing up some blood. “You crashed into a tree in an action to avoid hitting me and I want to heal you, but I can only heal you if you are pure of heart. So are you pure of heart?” The pony repeated. “Yes, I’m pure of heart.” Whaehonah said in a weak tone. “Then I will use my ability to heal you, just know that if you are not pure of heart, you will die.” The pony warned. The pony proceeded to use an unknown ability that healed Whaehonah of her injuries. When she was healed, she attempted to get a good look at him, but his hood was pulled over his face, however she did see his cutie mark and took note of it for later then took a walk in front of the car, no damage was done to the front of it so she backed out slowly and resumed her drive home.

When Whaehonah got home, she helped her parents out of the car, since they were in the back seat, they were not hurt by the crash, just shaken up, she then grabbed the saddle bag with the book and took it to her place in the cave to start reading, she quickly found out that it’s the history of the town where Senthrio lives, she discovered something interesting, the destruction was caused by an earth pony but done by creatures that can only be imagined by a disturbed mind. There was no way anything written in this history book was false due to the details being used, and what really got Whaehonah’s attention was the drawing on one of the pages, it was the cutie mark of the pony she had seen passing through the town and on the road home, she then knew who caused the destruction of that town, there was no thinking about it, he was the one, the only thing that disappointed Whaehonah was that his name was not in the book on any of the pages.

As I’ve said before, the town where Senthrio lives is not my idea, it’s Sparrow’s

Whaehonah looks for the truth

Whaehonah looked through the book she found over and over again, trying to find the name of the cloaked pony she’s met, but didn’t find it on any page, she felt like she might have to look in a library or somewhere in that old towns files, but even then she might turn up empty hooved.

Whaehonah decided to go back to povania to see if she could find more information about the cloaked pony. Whaehonah had just gotten into the car when her parents came out to ask her what she was doing.

“Whaehonah? What are you doing? We’re just about to eat, could you please join us?” Jecariah asked “Sorry Mom, I’ve gotta go back to that old town, there could be answers to questions I have about that cloaked pony that saved me.” Whaehonah replied.

Whaehonah drove off yelling out the window telling her parents that she would be back later.

When she got to the town known as povania, Whaehonah searched for anything that could resemble a town hall. She found what looked like the remains of a town hall and went inside, but the sign inside above the desk said book returns and on the other side there was a sign on the desk that said checkout. This was definitely a library at some point, she looked through it regardless since this was one of the places she intended to look through for what she wanted to know.

Book after book was read through on the town’s history and nothing was found on the pony in question. Whaehonah figured that there must be something missing in her search. She thought about it for a minute, she then remembered that nearly everypony except for her and her family had cutie marks, if everypony had cutie marks on file, then perhaps the cloaked pony also has one on file and that could be something to look for in her search. Something in the distance interrupted her thoughts, it wasn’t very far away, but it seemed to be getting closer, it made a wet growling noise, like something growling with water in its throat. Whaehonah decided not to stick around to see it, so she got back in the car and drove off. Whaehonah resumed her search for a town hall.

On the run

Whaehonah was suddenly awoken from her rest, she looked out the window of the car and saw a royal guard standing there with a spear pointed at her, five more guards stood around the car, all of them pointing spears at her, Whaehonah was surrounded. After sitting there for a few minutes, she started the car, and when she did, the guards all looked at each other and started jabbing the car with their spears. The guards jabbed the car until the points of their spears were flat, the car undamaged and when the spears were pulled back, Whaehonah took off, leaving the guards behind, one of them dead on the ground, crushed in his armor due to standing in front of the car when Whaehonah sped off.

Whaehonah knew that she had to get someplace where the royal guards wouldn’t find her, so she went to the one place she could think of where she would be at least half way safe, the old town where Senthrio lives, Povania. When she arrived in Povania, Whaehonah knew she had to get rid of the pony skeletons in the back of the car, so she drove to the far side of the town, got out, opened the back of the car and started offloading the bones into a rotten trash cart she found. Once the remains were out of the car, Whaehonah grabbed an old vacuum cleaner from one of the dilapidated buildings and began cleaning the back of the car, she made sure that there was nothing to indicate that there was ever anything as far as pony remains in the back. Whaehonah finished cleaning up the back of the car, put the vacuum in and closed the door, Whaehonah wasn’t going to risk the vacuum being used as forensic evidence, even though Povania wasn’t on the map, she wasn’t taking any chances.

“Okay, that’s done.” Whaehonah said in relief

As soon as she said that, a familiar voice spoke.

“What is it Whaehonah?” Senthrio said, surprising Whaehonah

“Senthrio. It’s nothing you need to worry about, I just had to get away from everypony else.” Whaehonah said looking back at the car.

“Something’s going on sis, just tell me what it is.” Senthrio said concerned about her sister

“I’m wanted, I ended up in Canterlot hospital, they wouldn’t let me go, so I killed and ate a nurse. I need to lay low for a while.” Whaehonah said shocking Senthrio

“I can’t believe my ears, my sister now a cannibal.? Well you won’t be found here, but I don’t think the royal guards will stop looking for you.” Senthrio replied.

Whaehonah decided to stay in Povania, at least until the case goes cold enough to be dropped. There was no guarantee that the case would be dropped and Whaehonah walking free, but she still had hope. Whaehonah settled down at Senthrio’s house, she knew that her sister would keep a secret if the royal guards happened to check this town.
