Silent question

POV Phil

After my small escape, I decided to lay low in the nearest village, and there I will already think about my further actions.

While I was walking to the village, I didn't notice that I was still clutching my glasses and a hair band in my hand. These things annoyed me a lot, I wanted to get rid of them, because because of them I remember not a pleasant moment for me

Deciding not to stand on ceremony for a long time, I ran to the nearest pond to dispose of these things. As soon as I stood at the edge of the cliff and only I managed to throw my arm behind my back, I was stopped by a sudden voice in my head

"WAIT" I stopped "Think again, do you really not need them? You are in dire need of disguise right now and unfortunately you don't have any other things and even more so you don't have money"

"Why are you stopping me? And anyway, who are you and where are you from? Why are you in my head," I asked my neighbor in my head, "And why should I trust you, isn't it more profitable for you to get rid of me?" I frown at an empty point, as if it is exactly there

"Wait, calm down" I was more or less able to pull myself together, because I need answers "Do not demand much from me, I will answer as I see fit" she did not pause much, as if sorting out all the information she needed to answer "To begin with, I will say that I can't get out of your body without another carrier, and even more so, I don't want to, it's comfortable and spacious here."

"Further, I do not know how I ended up with you, but I will say that I have been here for quite a long time"

"And why can I hear you normally now? Why did you wolf before?"

"I was not silent, I talked to you in a dream. And now I can talk normally because of the seal that was cracked"

"So it's because of you that I have nightmares almost every night"

"And what can I do about it, I have such a specialty"

After a long conversation with myself (literally), I decided to sit down at the very cliff "Okay, this is not the most important topic right now. The main thing is what to call you and what purpose do you have?"

After a short pause, she replied "I won't tell you my real name, just call me Night. And the goal I have is simple, just simple about the usual revenge"

"REVENGE?" my phrase screamed in my head, "Who did you decide to take revenge on?"

"And that's not your problem anymore. You have your problems and you're safe, and I have mine. The main thing that is important now is to escape and survive"

I don't like her tone, but she was right, I need to act. I looked at my hand, which contained glasses and an elastic band, I didn't want to have them with me, but I couldn't get rid of useful things. I decided to take a closer look at these attributes

Large black sunglasses, slightly bent and cracked, but can still perform their function. Next on the list, a black elastic band for hair, on which there are still dark pink hairs reminding of the previous owner

I looked at my muddy reflection in the lake to remind me how I look. Without hesitation, I put on glasses to assess my appearance, "It's not bad enough, it's lucky that they hide my eyes. Because of them I have big problems"

"Here, one less problem, but what about the elastic band?"

"I won't tie my hair, my skin is very noticeable," I answer her and pull the elastic band on my arm

I look at my reflection for the last time and start to get up, at the same time looking at the sky to determine the position of the sun

"It's almost 18 o'clock now. Move faster before it gets dark"

"How do you know that? How did you figure out the time so quickly?"

"Don't think about it, I had a friend, she is very closely connected with this"

Satisfied with this answer, I continued on my way to the village

Orphan home 18:00

There was the rudest silence in the main office of the director of the False Feith orphanage, he was writing down some papers until there was a knock on his office

"Come in," he replied in his usual kind manner

One of the teachers, the head of group 3-A Pale Fate, enters the office,
A pale middle-aged woman, hair in the style of a square with ash-white color, as well as gray eyes, but they have long lost their natural color. She was dressed like a nun, but she didn't have any faith

"May I disturb you, Director?" the woman asked in an even and emotionless tone "I have come to give a report on a recent incident. The girl with the code name "Tempest" was not badly injured, was dressed with a slight scar near the eye and amnesia, she does not remember what happened the last 3 years spent in the orphan home. Physical indicators are above normal. It is ready for transportation to our client"

"Very well, fortunately she lost her memory and therefore we were promised to pay extra for it" and with his free hand he began to wipe his chin "And what about the defective material?"

"Fortunately, it was able to escape, but at least the object is located in a nearby village and until tomorrow we will be able to get rid of it"

"Don't let me down, he can pose a serious threat to us" he got up and went to the nearest window "I do not know where it came from, but it is very well mentally protected and we could not take his consciousness. And something tells me that it has more power than it shows"

"All right, sir, please decline" he waved his hand giving his consent and she left at the same moment.

The director stood at the window for a while and spoke in an angry tone "Why didn't you finish what you started?" something like a man appeared out of the shadows and immediately got down on one knee "I gave you an order to get rid of the boy and erase the girl's consciousness, but you only did half the work" he looked at him out of the corner of his eye "Take the trouble to explain, I'm losing patience"

"Forgive us, sir, but we did not fully appreciate our goal. Everything was going according to plan. When our friend successfully erased her consciousness, at that moment this boy returned and appeared between them with a quick movement. We did not have time to understand how tentacles black as the night sky appeared from this boy, lifted our comrade from the ground and threw him further into the forest. We wanted to grab him, but we couldn't move, it was as if we began to be afraid of him and so it went on until he left"

"Hmm" that was the only answer from him

"What do you order, sir?"

"Gather a squad of your people and destroy it, according to you, it also has an aspect in magic and this explains some aspects"

"Yes, sir" and the mysterious silhouette disappeared into the shadows

The director was still standing at the window and pondering future losses "Today the first blood will be shed"

POV Feel

Coming up to the village itself, which for almost 7 hours (Thanks to Night) is now crowded "Thanks to my luck, it won't be difficult for me to get lost in the crowd." I walked at a leisurely pace, considering the architecture of the buildings (or at least what they represented). Wooden one-storey buildings placed along the streets, in some buildings the lights were still on and the real food smelled delicious "Yes, this is a real gastronomic paradise, I have never felt this wonderful smell"

"Do you enjoy such an ordinary smell? It's the usual smell of freshly baked bread, believe me, in my world I've tried real masterpieces of art, and it's just their pathetic semblance"

"What did you forget? I ate only one slop and the only thing I was glad of was when I was secretly treated to cookies by a Fizzlepop." Remembering that moment, I didn't even notice my neighbor's comment "Wait, are you from another world?"

"Forget it. When the time comes, you'll know all about it"

I decided not to focus on it, since she doesn't want to talk about it, then I shouldn't know about it

Walking through the village, I really wanted to eat "Naturally, today I ate only a couple of slices of bread and rolls." Without realizing it, I stopped at the fruit counter and stood there for several minutes until the voice of the seller called me

"Aren't they delicious?" I threw "These fruits are supplied from all the countries of Equestria, and this" pointing to the box of apples "Are supplied from the best apple farm Sweet Apple Acres they supply the most delicious and most appetizing apples in all Equestria"

While he was telling me all about it, I seem to have forgotten how to breathe and blink, but only a long line of my saliva dripped from my face

"Usually I sell them 3 apples for $ 3, but especially for you, I will make a discount, I am ready to sell 3 apples for $ 1" the merchant finished his offer

I kept standing and didn't notice how much time had passed until the merchant called me

"Hey boy, are you going to buy or not? Or don't you have any money?" I shook my head "So get out of here, I don't need customers without money" and as if on his orders, the queue behind me started pushing me

"A pitiful sight" answered the voice in my head " I give you good advice, if you want to live, adapt and fight. Regardless of the world, there will be those who stand above all, and there are those who stand in their shadow and will be forgotten"

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's very simple, if fighting is not your option, then just take and run"

"You want me to become a thief"

"No, I don't want you to starve to death somewhere in the alley, face it, you're nobody here and obviously you won't become anyone and obviously you won't be able to earn money here"

She was right, I had no choice for survival. I decided to get lost in the crowd and slowly approached the counter, the closer I was, the more tense the situation was, I was shaking all over, I was going to steal food for the first time. I was getting closer and closer, and when the cherished apple was at hand, the seller noticed me

"Hey, stop, kid!"

At this moment I grab an apple and run away

"Stop kid, thief, catch him"

I ran away as best I could, thank God no one had time to stop me. Running past the doorways, I decide to hide past one of them, in a moment of adrenaline, I don't notice how I'm hiding in the trash. In complete darkness, I hear people running past, as soon as the extraneous noise subsides, I decide to look out of the bucket, making sure I'm safe, I get out of the bucket of slop (thank God it was half empty)

Having calmed down, I look at my find, it was in my hand, a big red apple. I had a mixed feeling, I was glad to find it, but I was tormented by the act itself

"Well done, my boy, you can whenever you want" I was pleased with my result "Believe me, this is just a trifle, if you want to live, be able to spin"

"Okay, that's enough, it's my dinner for today" As soon as I wanted to take a bite of this forbidden fruit, I was distracted by a sudden barking

"Woof" sounded next to the trash can

"What is it?"

When I looked there, I saw a little gray puppy, just as emaciated and dirty, but just as helpless as me

"Don't pay attention to him, he stopped fighting, if he could, then he would be able to get food for himself. Now turn around and eat that damn apple"

"I can't do this, he won't be able to survive"

" What do you care about such a helpless and pathetic puppy"

"YES, BECAUSE HE IS THE SAME AS Me," I replied to my interlocutor, "I was able to survive until today only thanks to Fizzlepop and a small part of your help," I looked at the puppy again, "No one can survive without the help of someone from outside," and with these words I begin to divide the apple into two parts. I take the apple with both hands and press the upper part with the thumbs of both hands and simultaneously move my palms in different directions. As soon as I managed to divide the big apple into two equal parts, I keep one for myself and give the other to the dog

"Sorry kid, but I don't have anything else, except for this" the puppy, seeing my actions, does not immediately approach, but from the beginning looks at me, at the apple and back at me. When he decides to stand on his weak paws and approach me, he decides to sniff it from the beginning and then digs into this apple with hungry passion

"Although you don't understand me, but I'm telling you bon appetit" after a silent answer, I decide to taste this God-like fruit too

I dig my teeth into the edge of the apple to feel all the juice pouring into my mouth, not immediately realizing tears of happiness are coming through my eyes, maybe it's the first time I cry from happiness and pleasure. I didn't notice how I ate the whole apple without leaving anything

"Wow, it's like I was born again"

After looking at my hand, I look at the puppy to understand that he also finished his part

"Isn't it delicious?" the puppy happily started barking "I know, I know, I really liked it too"

After a small dinner, I look at the top to determine the time and judging by the answer of my companion, I realized that it's half past eight

"Well, okay, it's time to go to bed" I take a leaky blanket from the bucket and cover my body "Tomorrow we have a very long day ahead of us" I lie down on the ground and a puppy lies down next to me and I go to bed

Not even a few hours later, Night voice wakes me up

"GET UP FASTER - she shouts - COME ON"

"What's going on?" I asked, "I'm a sli...."

Before I could answer, I got hit in the face and the glasses flew out and fell to the ground

"Finally we found him" said an unfamiliar voice "I told you that this freak would sleep in the trash"

When I open my eyes, I see in front of me 5 people dressed in light armor and armed with light armor, but I don't see a face

"You made us suffer, why couldn't we be obedient and not die in the forest?" and again I get hit

"We had a task to catch and eliminate the target" said the second and looked at me predatory "But that doesn't mean that we can't have fun"

The third one told them to calm down, we are on a mission

"Calm down boss" the man began to wave off "We won't be long. Moreover, I want to avenge the fact that he threw me into the forest"

BE CAREFUL, THERE WILL BE BLOOD AND CRUELTY NEXT

With these words, they bring me down on my stomach to the ground and hold my wrists quite hard and painfully

"You know, according to the report, they reported to us that you can't even make a sound" he began to laugh wildly "Let's check it out"

And with these words, a dagger is thrust into my palm, I did not utter a sound with tears on my face

"Oh, look, and really not a sound. And it's quite fun" he pulled out a dagger and wiped the blade of blood with a rag "I was thinking, since he doesn't talk, then why does he need a language at all? Let's cut him off!"

With tears in my eyes, I shake my head in the hope of a different outcome

"Look at him, and he likes it. Okay, let's vote, who's in favor?" four hands were raised "So, then most of them are for! Delta, give me the forceps"

I resisted as much as I could, but I didn't have enough strength, only tears

One of the people took me by the head, the second held my jaw, and the third my tongue. As soon as my tongue had the same dagger, at that moment the same puppy jumped out of nowhere, he was able to bite the hand of the man with the dagger and he surrendered his position. Though not for long

"Oh, you creature" he snatched the puppy from his hand and looked at him "What, do you want to be the first? Okay take it"

When he just managed to swing, I barely hit his leg with my free foot that he missed, but grazed his ear

"You creatures only do what you interfere with our work - and threw the still alive, but wounded puppy to the edge of the alley" I hope no one will wave to me anymore

No matter how hard I tried, they continued their work and again the dagger was at my tongue, so I felt the cold metal of the dagger

I closed my still wet eyes, hoping for a miracle, but a sharp swing of the dagger decided my fate and the next thing I felt was a hellish pain

I felt my mouth filling with my blood, my body went limp and these killers stopped holding me, realizing that there would be no resistance

"All comrades, I'm happy, let's finish what we started" says the man putting away his dagger

In my bleary gaze, I saw another man come up to me and pull out his sword with a clang

"I'm sorry, but this is our job" the killer apologized and pointed the sword at me

"I almost forgot. While you can hear us" he approached my ear "I want to tell you this thing, do you remember that cherry girl?"and without waiting for my answer, he finished "So, she's gone"

Tudum

"Okay, we're done, I'm tired and I want to sleep"

TUDUM

The moment the blade reached my body…

TUDUM

... I felt an unquenchable rage filling my body

A dark substance enveloped my body, I felt a new surge of strength, I felt no pain, no pity for anyone, only rage filling my body

CRACKLE

Fragments of that very sword rained down on me, everyone who was nearby stood rooted to the spot, not believing what they saw

I started to get up, the ground began to shake around me, my hair began to float over my head, taking on the color of the night sky, I opened my eyes, one did not change as it was red and remained, and the second changed to azure with the same iris in the style of a cat

"What the fuck are you" one of the people shouted "Let's attack"

The crowd attacked me again, but they moved very slowly. I raised two hands in front with my index fingers in front of the direction of two people and shot them with a ray from my fingers, hitting them right in the chest, they fell dead

There are three left

They began to exchange glances and assess this situation. The first one gave some kind of sign to the other two and they disappeared, only one remained.

The only person from their team was standing in front of me, but they didn't know that I felt their presence

"What are you?" the murderer began to stall for time "You killed two of my comrades without hesitation, now your hands are covered with someone else's blood, now you are a murderer"

At the moment when he finished his dialogue, I abruptly grab the throat of a man from the shadow, turn 180 degrees and put a man in front of him so that he catches a blow

"Agh" a man screams and dies on my hand

The limp body, I throw at the attacker and abruptly move to him behind his back, he catches him and does not notice how his blade is pierced into his body and they fall dead to the ground

I turn to the last one and the one who hurt me the most

"NO" he shouts to me "Don't come near me"

I am slowly approaching, I want him to suffer the most, all the pain that I felt both moral and physical

He slowly walks away from me, but the wall behind him stops him from leaving further

"Please stop, please forgive me, I was following orders, I'm just a pawn"

I stood in front of him at arm's length, he shrank from fear and thinking that it was over. But then he didn't expect to hear from me…

"GO TO SLEEP" a voice rang out in the whole alley. A distorted female voice echoed, after which a body fell in front of me. He fell into an eternal sleep and seeing only his nightmares

I was standing, there were 5 bodies lying in front of me and I felt nothing, neither joy nor rage, just nothing

"You did what you had to do" Night said

I was silent

"And you run away from here, people may come here. Also, you are about to fall from exhaustion, your body was not ready for such a release of magic"

I silently agree with her, I really began to feel tired in my body. I saw all these bodies for the last time, I pick up fortunately not broken glasses from the ground and take the puppy with me at the exit

"Thank you for wanting to help me, I won't leave you," Night silently watched what was happening, she still didn't like my taking care of the dog, but decided not to comment in any way

When I came out of the alley, I began to see how the lights began to light up in the windows and the voices of residents could be heard

• What's going on there?

• I do not know, but I heard screams

I felt trouble and ran along the street (thank God it's night and no one sees me)

When I reached the end of the street, I saw a pier, next to which a ship was parked and a lot of cargo next to it

"Apparently it's a cargo ship"

I run up to the cargo for a suitable shelter, it becomes harder and harder for me to move, and so I don't think for a long time I go to one of the boxes, open it and see the contents, it was filled with soft toys of different sizes "Will do"

I lie down there and lock myself in there with the last remnants of my strength and lose consciousness

POV Night

I silently watched as this boy fainted, returning to his original form, lying in a box among soft toys with a puppy

He was not ready for all this, neither for such pain, nor for the first murder, nor for such a large release of magic, much less such information

"If my sister were as affectionate with me as his"

There are two advantages: first, my seal has weakened and now I can materialize my eyes and other people can hear me. Second, we escaped, and now we have to wait for where the ship will take us

Looking at how this boy hugs a puppy, I stopped hating this animal, I was afraid that the dog only used this boy for his needs, but it was ready despite everything to help the boy or even save him

I have to train his body and protect his mind, because when he wakes up, he will no longer be that harmless little boy

"Why do you and I have to go through this?" After this phrase, I began to wait for his awakening
