Solstice Blue: The Rejected Demon

“I’m pretty sure this is where I’m supposed to be” Solstice thought as he approached Class 7C.

“Alright class, we have a new trans-”- The teacher started when she was interrupted by knocking on entrance the class -“oh that must be him, everyone meet Solstice Blue” The teacher introduced as Solstice walked in.

“H-hi, I’m Solstice Blue” he replied.

“Now then I’m Ms Cheerilee. So would anyone like to ask Solstice anything?”- Ms Cheerilee offered as several hands rose up and picked a hand in the back row -“Trixie, what’s your question”

“Yea, Trixie wants to know about that weird thing on your face?” She asked.

“Well it’s a scar, and no I did not get it in a fight. My parents just found me with a cut that was where this scar is” Solstice replied.

“Alrighty then, Applejack” Cheerilee called out as she pointed to the light peach colored girl with blond hair.

“Ever mud wrestled?” Applejack asked, causing a girl with rainbow hair to erupt in laughter.

“Only you would ask that!” The girl laughed.

“Actually yes, but both my parents were angry at me afterwords so...totally worth it” Solstice replied with a smirk.

Ms Cheerilee just stared unimpressed at the rainbow haired student and asked is she had a question for Solstice.

“Yea actually, do you play any sports?” The girl asked.

“Well on occasion I play motocross, and I do also have a black belt in Judo”Solstice replied.

“Nice. By the way the name’s Rainbow Dash.

After a couple more questions Ms Cheerilee told the class that there was to be one more before she started. She picked a girl that Solstice had recognized.

“Hey Solstice, thanks again for helping me this morning, but do you like to read? If so what’s your favorite book?” Twilight asked.

“If the Daring Do books count” Solstice explained as he smiled sheepishly.

“You like daring do to?” Rainbow Dash shouted from across the room.

“Ms Rainbow Dash if I do recall I did say it was one more question not two more” Ms Cheerilee said sternly as she glared, raised an eyebrow causing both Rainbow Dash and Solstice to flinch.

“S-sorry ma’am” Rainbow Dash replied as she shrunk back into her seat next to the giggling Applejack.

“I’m afraid that’s all the questions for now, so Solstice feel free to pick an open desk” Ms Cheerilee said as she turned to Solstice, her stern look was now replaced with a cheerful smile.

“O-okay” Solstice stuttered as he headed to an empty desk by a window.

As Solstice went and sat down he noticed a red, gold haired and amber colored skin was in the seat next to him and immediately felt his heart race.

“Hi I’m Sunset Shimmer, so what exactly did Twilight mean by helping her?” Sunset asked in a whisper with a slight blush on her cheeks.

“I-it’s not what you think, s-she just tripped in front of the school so I helped her up” Solstice explained as a light blush formed from Sunset being near his face.

“Oh okay, well it was nice to meet you” Sunset replied with a smile as the blush faded.

“Y-you to” Solstice muttered -“jeez what exactly did you think she was talking about?” he thought as the small blush remained for a little longer before leaving.

After Ms Cheerilee left and the next teacher entered Solstice merely stared out the window while rubbing the cross he was wearing.

=================================================

Although Solstice liked attending school he was constantly worried that either his hereditary urges would over power the t-shaped piece of silver around his neck or something happened that would cause it to break then there would be nothing protecting those around him.

Solstice’s adopted parents knew all to well what could happen if the cross is removed when he was about five he threw a tantrum that ended up having the dog have an eternal rest. Even though both him and his parents knew that it wasn’t exactly his fault Solstice never really got over the guilt so after he had calmed down to the point where he could be held Cherry Pie had placed a cross around his neck to keep him from causing any more harm in the future.

“Remember Solstice, only take this off after you put another one on” Cherry Pie told her crying five year old.

“M-mommy I’m so sowwy” Solstice cried before hugging his adopted mother.

“It’s not your fault, you can’t help who you are” Cherry Pie comforted.

=================================================

“Hey Solstice, Solstice are you alright?” Sunset asked.

“H-huh?” Solstice replied as he snapped back to reality, saw that him, Sunset who had a concerned look on her face and Ms Cheerilee who was focused on some papers were the only ones in the class room.

“I said are you alright, you’ve pretty much been staring out the window since Ms Cheerilee left, not to mention you’re also crying” Sunset replied.

“O-oh uh yea I’m alright, j-just thinking about an event that happened when I was five” Solstice explained as he wiped away the tears.

“You sure? I mean if you need someone to talk to I’m here” Sunset replied along with a genuine smile.

“Thanks, but may I ask where did everyone go?” Solstice asked.

“Oh it’s break time” Sunset replied while trying to muffle a giggle.

“Heh oh, well see ya back in class” Solstice said before getting up and leaving the room.

Sunset just watched Solstice leave with an inquisitive look on her face “That boy is hiding something, I don’t know what but it feels kinda familiar” Sunset thought as she brought a hand up to her chin.

As Solstice walked his mind was in another world so to speak. However due to him not paying attention Solstice had inadvertently bumped into a medium stone gray haired that covered half of her face and light bluish stone gray skin causing the girl to fall over.

“Oh uh s-sorry I wasn’t paying attention” Solstice apologized as he helped the shy girl up.

The girl didn’t say anything nor did she look at Solstice.

“Are you okay?” Solstice asked now concerned that he had scared or even worse hurt her.

“Mmhm” The girl replied.

“Hi sis, hi Solstice!” A voice called that Solstice recognized and saw magenta haired girl with cotton candy pink hair was walking to them.

“H-hey Pinkie” Solstice said.

“Hiya, so what are you two doing?” Pinkie Pie asked as she reached the two.

“Well I was just helping Marble up” Solstice replied.

“Let me guess you weren’t paying attention and accidentally bumped into her?” Pinkie Pie asked with a big grin.

“Yep, and don’t worry I did apologize and helped her up” Solstice replied.

“Mmhm” Marble added.

“Okie dokie lokie, so then *deep inhale* whereareyoufrom, whatdidyoumeanbybeingfoundlikethatoneday, when’syourbirthday, howoldareyou, wheredidyoutransferfrom, everhadstra-” Pinkie Pie replied then started her onslaught of questions aimed at Solstice until a light peach hand came out of nowhere and stopped the hyperactive girl before she could finish the sixth question.

“Don’t worry sugarcube we got you” Applejack said as she held Pinkie Pie’s mouth shut.

“Does...does she do this often?” Solstice asked with a semi confused look plastered on his face.

“Afraid so, but she’s harmless” Applejack replied.

“Mmhm” Marble added.

“Except for when she uses her party cannonright next to your head causing you to go deaf for an hour” Rainbow Dash complained as she strolled up to the group.

“Oh come on that was one time!” Pinkie Pie retorted as she pulled Applejack’s hand away from her mouth.

“Yea well my ears rang for like thirty minutes” Rainbow Dash replied.

“Alright calm down you two” Applejack said as she stepped in between the two.

“Anyway, where ya heading?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“To the snack machine, even though I had a big breakfast I’m still hungry” Solstice replied along with a sheepish grin.

“Well then here” Pinkie Pie replied as she pulled a chocolate, strawberry cupcake from her hair and offered it to Solstice.

“Uh thanks?...” Solstice said before taking the cupcake and eating it.

“Hehe no problem!” Pinkie Pie replied with a smile that stretched from ear to ear.

“Now then there’s something I’ve been curious about since this morning” Applejack started.

“Which is?” Solstice questioned.

“This morning when Trixie asked how you got that scar you said your parents found you like that what did you mean by that?” Applejack asked.

“Oh well they technically didn’t find me with the scar but they found me with a cut where this scar is and apparently according to them I just appeared on their doorstep one night” Solstice explained.

“So you’re adopted?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Pretty much”- Solstice replied before adding -“Well I’m gonna get something from my locker”

“Alright then see you later” Applejack replied as Solstice waved and walked to his locker.

“Is it me or is he hiding something?” Rainbow Dash asked once Solstice was out of earshot.

“Yea he is acting like he has a secret” Pinkie Pie added.

“Am sure he’s just nervous, after all it is his first day here” Applejack interjected.

“Mmhm” Marble added.
