“This is pointless!” I yell kicking the stack of wood causing the tower to come toppling to the ground to the wooden floorboards below. Turning away I look at Alexander who sits in the spacious living room we are in currently. As he watches me he sips at a hot cup of tea like stuff. “I have been doing this stupid training for six days since I got well from the corruption going crazy in me. Yet there is no sign of progress.” I grumble.

“Oh, so you are giving up?” Alexander asks with his sharp teeth clicking together as he tilts his head after asking his question.

“I- no… Goddesses damn it, I used my horn for my entire life and you expect me to just suddenly know how to use magic in other areas of my body even though it has transformed?”

“So you’re going to quit?” He asks me, making me grind my teeth.

“Oh screw off, I am not going to quit. I just need time to think on how to try and do this. I just would like to go see my friends and finish the potion things I had planned.”

“Ah I see, you want to leave and do as you like.” Alexander happily says, placing his tea cup aside. That’s it.

“So what if it is, are you going to attack me if I do.” I ask walking up to the Vampire who simply remains seated and looks up at me.

“What do you hope to find there?” He asks matter of factly but the calm in him remains causing my mind to skid to a halt. What does he mean by that? “Ah your face defeats you my dear.” He chuckles. “There is nothing holding you here but I do warn you. Leaving here and expecting an easy welcome back will not be reality.”

“Fine by me. I have about had it with your wood blocks. I’ll figure out a way to become Queen and get out of here with my own ways.” I bark as I turn away and head towards my bedroom for the last few days and collect the few things of mine, among the items is the shards of my horn.

“Well then, the deal is off. I will, however, send you off with a little bit of a heads up.” Alexander says as he comes to my bedroom door. “If I was a hot headed Incubus I wouldn’t have simply attacked you without figuring out exactly how to twist a knife into your beating heart.” As he speaks the air in my room drops to near freezing and the lights in the room dim to almost being out leaving only the light outside to flood in around the dark imposing figure of Alexander. He couldn’t mean…

Feeling my heart drop I sprint up to Alexander as everything reverts back to normal in my room and I grab his suit in a fist. “So help me Alexander, if you aren’t joking and you don’t teleport me to the village immediately I will-” But before I can finish what I was saying I am teleported with Alexander who grins ear to ear at me. Looking around I realize where I am, Beryl’s store but unlike usual the windows are smashed and the interior is torn up in a mess. “No, Beryl?” I call out as I walk to the door only to see it is laying broken on the ground.

“Beryl!?” I scream walking into the shop looking around. There are a lot of signs of a struggle and after looking around I find the corpse of a young girl near the back of the shop. “Beryl?” I yell out feeling worry gripping my heart.

“Oh my, this really was a party?” I hear Alexander chuckle as he comes into the shop. Too emotional to think straight I stomp over to him and glare at him.

“We are going to my other friend's home. They might have Beryl.”

“Oh, wanting me to tag along?”

“I want you to be there in case the Incubus is there.” Alexander chuckles and adjusts his suit.

“You seem to forget, we have no deal anymore. However I am curious to see how this plays out. So I’ll follow you to these friends. Onwards.” He says happily, making me more angry. How can he be so damned happy all the time?

Quickly I sprint through the village and towards Gelfree and Gomra’s home, It is only when I get close to their hidden little way to their home that I feel my lungs get tired. Turning the corner to their home I see something that makes my stomach turn inside out. Smoldering ruins. The once large and grand mushroom that their home is now nothing but ash, and charred mushroom and other materials.

“Oh my, it looks like we were too late.” Alexander says in a quiet but still happy tone. What did they do… How did he find out about them? What the hell is his problem with me!? “Oh my, that’s a scary face you have on my dear. Come now, put on a smil-”

“Shut up.” I seeth. “You know more than you have said.”

“And if I do?” He asks as if this is a game.

“Do you know who it was?”

“I think you know who did this.” He happily whispers to me.

“Then, who told him of this place?”

“Now that my dear is a good question, sadly if I tell you. What will you do with that information?”

“What will I do? You honestly need to ask me that? I’ll fucking kill them.”

“Will you really?” He purrs as I hear him snap his fingers as he grabs my wrist and we are in a cold dark room with stone as walls. In front of us lies a woman, A rabbit looking girl who lies there looking to us with horror in her eyes.

“Well then. You wanted death so here it is. However Let’s spice things up a bit.” Alexander happily says as he taps a foot and envelops the room in magical power. “Twilight Sparkle, leader of the Elements of harmony and student of Princess Celestia-”

“How do you kno-”

“Ah ah, it doesn't matter. Now then, Student of Princess Celestia and protector of Equestria. You have two options here and now. First you can seek revenge and kill this woman, getting vengeance but in doing so you are bound by a new pact with me, one in which you may not go against me till which point the teaching is done and I deem you are fit to fight for the throne. The other option is to leave here, you will go back to the hole in the ground, become corrupt and die alone because without magic… Well, your chances are zero.”

Checkmate…

“Please, please Alexander. I didn’t mean to… he forced me to. You can let me go.” The bunny girl begged as she tried in vain to get free.

“Did you do it?” I ask, looking at the girl who yelps when I look her in the eyes. “Did you tell the Incubus about where Gelfree and Gomra lived?”

“H-He forced me to.”

“Bull shit.” I spit looking down at her with a glare. “You didn’t have to say shit and he wouldn’t have been the wiser.”

“Please, he was offering me a spot in his dynasty. Being a concubine to the next king-”
I send a quick kick into her stomach which cuts her off and sends her gasping for air.

“So, the lives of others are only as good as getting you a higher status in life? What about the people he has Raped?” weezing she chokes out.

“You… think… I wasn’t… one?”

Looking down at her I grind my teeth and kick her in the face, getting a loud audible crack sound followed by the horrific wailes of the bunny girl as blood comes pouring out of her nose. Having her arms restrained, her face quickly becomes matted with blood. “You sick fuck, you’re just as bad as him for being complacent about his actions.”

“Please, I have kids.” The bunny girl begs causing me to falter for a second but getting down on one knee I look her dead in the eyes.

“Then I’m saving them by getting rid of you.” I growl.

“Twilight.” Alexander happily says.

“What.” I snarl at him.

“Have fun.” He chirps, making me smile a small bit. Oh I will. I nod and turn back to the bunny girl who has tears in her eyes. Grabbing her long floppy ears I hoist her off the ground and hold her up by just them. Then I lean in.

“I’m going to slowly rip you the fuck apart for all your crimes.” I sigh before toss her back to the ground and step on her spin as she lay on her stomach with my hoof, making sure to dig the edge in real good and hard, making her scream in pain.

If this world wants me to become a monster… So fucking be it.
