Prologue: Not Much of a Choice

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

I was sitting outside of Tim Hortons drinking a medium sized coffee two creams one sugar. Which is ALWAYS my fav. My magenta beats by dre covered my ears. It was well past midnight but I didn't care. It's not often I can sneak out. The stars, who am I kidding the only thing I could see in the sky was a full moon and flashing lights of a passing plane. The sky had a dark purple blue to it. I guess it would have been kind of pretty if it wasn't for the super thin wall of gas exhaust blocking the view. I adjusted my back to the lumpy brick. Closing my MacBook Pro, yes I actually have that damn expensive laptop, I decided to take in my surroundings. The crickets kept up a steady chirping. My black female lab mix lied at my feet. It was because of her that I wasn't sitting inside. I guess it was okay though. At least she protected me from the outside dangers, even though I could be equally safe inside…without her. Ugh, who cares, she's my best friend so moving on with my life.

Where I live, a sex offender lies at every street corner. I'm a crazy bitch, I kept a Diver's knife, Swiss Army Pocket Knife, and my butterfly knife. Which I'm pretty sure it was illegal to carry all that on me. Hey, don't look at me like that, it's not like I use them for dangerous purposes…most of the time. I just need my knives for self defense and I guess survival. Which I don't know when I would need it for survival, since I'm usually stuck at home.

Anyways, my dog's purple collar shifted, making the silver ribbon that I twirled onto her collar glint in the moonlight. My dog's light brown eyes traveled quickly towards the door. I looked over to where she was looking. Zoe, the worker from Tim Hortons, looked at me with her dark brown eyes, she was pretty chill. I never took the time to know her. I bet she would make a great friend though. She motioned to my dog and then at me and then at the door. I lowered my headphones automatically understanding what she meant, "Thanks"

"Yea no problem. No use in you being out here with the bad guys."

Her black ponytail whipped around as she walked back inside. I got up and cracked my spine, elbows and knees. Now that felt satisfying. I looked down at Malishka. She stretched her back muscles and then her leg muscles. A regular routine for her. Anyways, I opened the door, Malishka hesitantly walked in. Zoe was back behind the counter. "Aren't you gonna get in trouble for letting my dog in?"

She smirked, "No one comes at this time of night besides you. Plus, it's not like your dog is running around terrorizing the place." That was true, my dog was pretty chill. What can I say, like owner, like dog.

I chose my favorite corner spot, because no one can see what I was doing on my laptop, more importantly they couldn't sneak up on me. I opened my laptop, put my headphones back on and resumed what I was watching. Yep, my deep dark secret, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. If anyone discovered that I watched a "baby" show, my reputation would be ruined. I'm not the most popular kid but everyone knows me…and LOVES me. Well, not EVERYBODY loves me. I'm still pretty chill and have a laid-back personality. I do have a quick temper ok well a really big temper. It doesn't show all the time though.

Alright, description time. I am tall, slim body, brown, gold, dark brown hair, and changing color green eyes. No I do not dye my hair, the sun does. I have natural gold highlights. They are small but they are noticeable. The top of my head is generally dark brown and then it fades down to a light reddish brown. I love my eyes. Sometimes they're dark green, sometimes blue green and heck they turn a bit pale at times. It's never a BIG difference though. They will turn pretty much any other eye color, as long as dark green is in the mix.

Getting back to my story, the night was pretty peaceful. At the moment I was re watching one my favorite episodes, The Return of Harmony part II. It was nearing the end, Discord just got turned into stone. At that precise moment someone clears their throat, uncomfortably loudly. I paused the episode, lowered my headphones to my neck and looked around and notice a guy in his late 40 smiling at me from across the table with his chin in his hands. "Creep" I mutter under my breath. In a louder voice I ask him, "May I help you?" The creep's smile grew wider as his teeth started showing. One front tooth was a bit longer then the rest of his teeth. Wow if it wasn't for that tooth I could swear he had the perfect canine grin. He leaned back in his chair. He kind of reminded me of Lord Darkwood from Sherlock Holmes. Except his hair was black and gray and he had a pointy beard. His hair was slicked back and longer then Lord Darkwood's. His clothes were nice, sarcasm people sarcasm, he looked like he just came back from a fancy professor party. A dark tan suit with a white dress shirt and a red tie. A brown fedora, like the Mafia wears, was on his head and a symbol that looked like a little bird rested on the hat. "You know," he started talking, great just what I needed. "I like humans. They cause so much," he paused, "chaos," allowing himself to put a toothy grin.

It took me a few moments to realize what happened. I don't know what creeped me out more, him sitting there talking with a 15 year old chic or that he sounded like Discord and was saying something Discord would say.

Ok back up here, the story Griffin the Griffin can't be a true story, can it? I know it's ONE of my most favorite fanfic stories but still it can't be based on a true story. I closed my eyes, all of a sudden my ears zeroed in on the crickets chirping outside in the hot summer night. The cool breeze in Tim Hortons was relaxing. I opened my eyes but he was still there. Shizniks, this wasn't a weird dream. I let out a heavy sigh, fully closed my laptop, and put it into my back pack. I was not in a good mood anymore. I put my hands into my magenta hoodie and felt my pocket knife in there. Perfect, I got a somewhat helpful self defense....just in case this guy was crazy. All these thoughts passed in my head in about a few seconds. I observed many things around me but sometimes it took awhile when I'm a wee bit tired.

My green eyes darkened, "What do you want". I was in not in a good mood since this guy ruined my MLP FIM show time. "Well you see, I don't think you are happy with your life right now. Not enough chaos or fun stuff like that," he raised his thick, bushy eyebrow. Creep much? "Well didn't you just say that humans cause chaos."

"Yes I did say that, but are you the one causing any of it?"

"No and I don't wish to cause chaos across Earth like you did to Equestria, and I am PERFECTLY happy with my life" I said in a harsh whisper. His eyes narrowed and he leaned forward in surprising speed. He put a long, sharp nail under my chin and lifted it to his eye level. I glanced down at my dog with my eyes. She was frozen? FFFFFFFFFFFF he could freeze time. "Listen here child, I understand you have figured out very quickly who I am and why I'm here, but that doesn't give you an upper hand in the game," two cards appeared in my hand. A black Ace of Spades and a Red Queen of Hearts. Which didn't really make much sense to me. "You're just some old weirdo, that makes everyone else feel like crap just because YOU don't have any friends."

"I don't need to hear you talk nonsense. I assure you that I have plenty of friends."

"I thought you liked nonsense, and name one" He lowered back into his seat and gave a fake smile. I can clearly see the anger in his eyes though. "Look, I'm offering you a chance of a lifetime. To be someone important." I narrowed my eyes at him and folded my arms across my chest, "No."

"Well I'm not giving you much of a choice anyways. Look it's either the Ace of Spades or the Queen of Hearts. Your choice," he looked down at Malishka as the Ace of Spades poofed into his hand and was pointed toward her. At that moment I remembered what Ace of Spades symbolized. I looked down at my best friend. "I'll go if I can take her with me."

"Deal," he smiled slyly and snapped his fingers.


Author's Note

Sorry for for the Prologue being so short. I promise the next chapter will be long. Also, this is my first fanfic, but by all means please do criticize. Also, I know bad grammar and spelling. Big whoop, it's not gonna kill somebody. Yes, this prologue pretty much sums up my life, except for my dog and I going into Tim Hortons, and I made up the character, and I don't get to meet Discord and go into MLP FIM ...although that would be awesome. I don't doubt that there is a Zoe working in a Tim Hortons somewhere haha. Anyways I hope some people will read this and like it.
