I told you to go right

Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe train pulled up in the middle of nowhere, a lonely station in an icy wasteland. We took our bags from the train, and it promptly disappeared in the blizzard. Already, somepony was complaining. "It's freezing out here!" Rarity whined as we began to trudge onwards in the snow. "Not even my wool scarf is warming me up, and THAT'S a statement." I made a loud 'pfft' noise; I was wearing a pair of blue ankle warmers with my Tooth-Kicker boots, and a blue Bomber-styled fluffy hat. I'd also lined my brown vest-coat with a layer of white wool, making me look like a wintry person.
"You should wear this, Rares." I chuckled. "Very warm, and I love the fact that these ankle-warmers make me feel sexy. Do I look sexy in these?" I asked, striking a few poses as we went along.
"You look sexy in anything, darling." replied the white mare, causing Everypony to stop momentarily.
"Wait..." Twilight said. "Are you implying that you two...?"
"THE ANSWER IS 47 ISN'T IT HAHAHAHAHAHA YES DARLING GOOD IDEA LET'S GO I'M FUCKING COLD" Rarity yelled out in one breath, before taking the helm of the group. We all trotted behind, and I leaned over to Twilight.
"Eeyup." I whispered over the wind. She gave a shocked look, before shaking her head clear and noticing something up ahead. Approaching us was a figure wearing a scarf and black goggle things over his eyes. He pulled the goggles upwards and rested them on his horn.
"Twily!" beamed Shining Armor, before giving his younger sister a hug. "How's my sister?"
"Well, I'm not dead." she replied smartly. He gave her a look, and then laughed.
"Anyway, what's fucked itself over this time?" I asked. Shining looked over into the distant blizzards, where a faint pink hue was barely visible. I could only assume this was Cadence's shieldy-thing, and we began to head towards it as Shining explained.
"Well," he began, "A few days ago, we found out that King Sombra had returned with the Crystal Empire, and we took it back by force. We kicked him out here and shielded the city up, but since then...nothing. There's things out here we don't want to run into." We looked at him.
"Shit." I muttered, flicking the snow from my boots. Just then, the ground shook violently and caused us all to tense up and glance around.
"And that's one of those things?" Fluttershy asked, raising a brow in an eerily calm way. Shining pulled his goggles down, and began to canter towards the purple light in the distance. With nowhere else to go, we all followed him, keeping pace with the stallion as he charged across frozen wastelands with all 13 of us, Spike included, in tow. Behind us, the ice shattered open as a huge black cloud formed above us in a large plume with two evil eyes and a horn. I could only get small peeks at this, but then, to my horror, I tripped. Everypony else continued going, unaware of my 'wee li'l knock'.
"Oh, NOOOOOOOOO..." I said loudly, shuffling backwards on my flanks as the huge beast loomed overhead. I had only a few seconds before it, like, fucking ate me, so I stumpled back up and leapt forward a few metres with a short burst of wing power. I then landed at speed next to the others, and this time kept pace. "I just fucking tripped, guys!" I shouted to them. "Why did none of you help?" Instead of an answer, I just received stern glares. Suddenly, Shining halted, but I knew what he was doing and what would happen, so I quickly turned around. "Oh, no you don't!" I said as I picked him up and flew back to the group. Finally, after a while of running, the walls of the shield became visible, and there was a massive sense of satisfaction as we made it through the shield.
"Phew." Twilight gasped, leaning on Inferno so she could get her breath back. "Everypony OK?"
"Aye." I replied, shaking the snow from my boots, coat, and ankle warmers. "I didn't do that much running then, mostly just wing-power, and I'm pretty conditioned for running from guards, so that wasn't tough. Then I tripped and nearly shit myself, so I'm good." I turned to Shining. "Jesus, man. You would have lost that fight."
"Ugh, I know." he sighed as we all began to trudge to the distant empire. "I'm not thinking straight, I've been awake for 2 days."
"Pfft." I snorted. "Last time I slept, it was with Luna about...2 or three weeks ago? There's been no side-effects yet." My neck clicked sharply as GentleSpy took over. "Pardon me for intruding, but I believe that it was 2 weeks, 4 days, 16 hours, and 42 minutes since Thunder last slept?" My neck clicked again as Christian grabbed the wheel. "Nah, mate. Thunder doesn't sleep really, so it adds up to about 10 weeks. It's bloody amazing he's still alive." My neck clicked again, and I was able to take control again. "Fucking hell, that's a tad annoying. Anyway, whatever. I haven't slept for fucking ages, and look at me; no side effects mentally or physically."
"Except you're more open to suggestion." Rarity giggled. "Thunder dear, could you let a lady have a use of your jacket?" Before I knew it, I had agreed, and offered her my jacket. Instead of accepting it, she simply smirked. I frowned.
"Fuck." I muttered as I put my jacket back on. "Seriously, I swear to god that if you take advantage of this-"
"You'll get us all drinks when we arrive?" Twilight winked.
"Alright." I sighed, before my neck clicked again. "This is as good as you're gonna do." I took control again. "Not now, Christian. I have to sort through my life."
I am your life.
What? Oh. Yeah.
Thunder, are you feeling alright? Have you even got any sleep since I last saw you?
Ugh, no...I just...haven't been able to. I just can't sleep knowing that I started out as a normal stallion, and now I'm possessed by 4 spirits, I have a job as an assassin, I'm sleeping with a beautiful mare...just...ugh. I'm not thinking about much else right now.
Seriously Thunder. Just try and get some sleep at some point soon. OK?
Alright. Thanks, Lulu.
Any time, Thunder. Love you.
Love you, too.
