Two Unicorns
Besides, You Learn from the Past
Previous Chapter"Enjoying the night so far? You know, I never revealed myself to Twilight, but if I realized you could have this much fun, well, my oh my what have I been missing out on?"
"...Aon..."
Oh, time for you to wake up slave....see you tonight! Hahahaha!
Aon jolted awake and immediately threw up across the side of the bed, startling Twilight.
"Ahh! Oh no, are you okay Aon?"
The silvery mare thought about how terrible the night had been, then to how good Twilight looked this morning compared to other mornings and nodded.
"M'fine, must've been something I ate..."
Twilight seemed to accept the answer and skipped off towards the bathroom, humming merrily.
'Score one for you bitch, but score ten for me. Twilight is okay!'
With that thought, Aon managed to find the willpower to pull herself from bed and walk into the bathroom as well, eager to clear her mind of the night's horrors.
~^~^~^~
Rosebud was carelessly drawing via stick in the dirt when the door opened and the disfigured pony stepped in. It was the fourth visit since the first, and Rosebud had taken to calling her Char(only in her head), short for charcoal. Yes, it was a nasty mean thing to say, but she'd hit her the first day they met, so Rosebud figured it made them even.
The filly had realized she had a great grasp on wit, and was very good at a number of things. She could sing really well, she could draw really well, and she could make the ponies that bothered her storm out of the room really well.
Char trotted over to her and looked down at the (masterfully) well drawn sanding etching.
"And this would be?" Char asked, glaring down at an etching of two alicorns blasting another pony to oblivion via magic.
"Well, since Twilight and Aon are taking care of me now, it is mommy and mommy saving me from a grumpy witch pony that foalnaps fillies." Rosebud declared with a sweet smile that she knew annoyed Char. "I even made a song for it, you want to hear?"
"No!" Char snapped, "What makes you think that Twilight and Aon are coming for you anyway?!"
"Because if they weren't, it wouldn't bother you."
Char pulled back, but Rosebud had already scampered off a ways leaving the disfigured mare to swipe a hoof through her etching and storm out.
As she went, Rosebud started singing the theme for an old play she liked about a goodly law pony.
"In the eyes of a ranger,
The unsuspecting stranger,
had better know the truth of wrong from right.
Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.
And anything you do their gonna see..."
Char was just happy when she could slam the door shut and walk away.
~^~^~^~
Inky and Blinky knew what they needed to do. Securing the magical inhibitor feild device, the two ponies set off for where they knew the two unicorns they had to find would be.
~^~^~^~
Aon had been suffering all morning. Rather than the more pleasant thought she usually had around Twilight, such as her soft lips, or the giggles she got when nibbling her ears, all she could think of was how easy it would be to snap her neck, or how to halt the mare's heart.
It was starting to wear on Aon, and the mare had punched or kicked more than one wall to relieve her tension.
'What's to stop me from just ending my own life huh? And you with it?'
I can move my essence to any other body in direct vicinity.
If looks could immolate thing, the floor would have been incinerated. Instead she started trying to formulate a plan. It would have been easier if Twilight wasn't coming near her.
"Hey love, how are you doing?"
Kill her.
"Uhm...are you okay? You know we're going to get Rosebud back right?"
KILL HER!
The pushing hurt. It felt like somepony was driving a knife into her skull, actually more akin to driving the mirror shard into her forehead, but still.
"SHUT UP! Okay, do I look like I'm doing good?!"
'I'm sorry...'
"Nothing is going right, nothing has been going right!"
'Please start walking away...'
"So just...leave me alone!"
Aon was now breathing heavily, but rather than having Twilight run off like she'd hoped, the mare tried to hug her.
Throttle her!
"NO! You don't get it Twilight! I'm done with you!"
'Please...please forgive me...'
"You think this is love? I get it now..."
'This is the only way and I know it.'
"No, you just wanted somepony to sleep with that it didn't feel like she was raping you, isn't that right? Its not dominating, so its good, and you can still get off."
'I'm so sorry.'
"Essentially coping with unwanted sex by having wanted sex to make yourself have some self worth."
Twilight jerked back, tears spilling from her eyes. Aon just did her best to keep her face straight as she turned to walk away. Once sure that Twilight wouldn't follow her, she teleported out of the castle before ducking down a alleyway sobbing, throwing trash against the building walls.
Then she froze.
'You want me to kill? You want me to hurt ponies? Tell me where the ponies that took Rosebud are!'
~^~^~^~
Inky and Blinky moved stealthily through the halls. Already nine of the golden armoured guards were dead, and they were nearing their target.
Blinky wrapper a hoof around the next guards head, holding his mouth shut as Inky used a dagger to rip a hole wide in his throat. Blinky dropped the guard and threw a knife towards the next guard, impacting in the guard's spine as Inky caught the first dropped guard.
"Here're the keys Inks."
"Alright, the door is here Blinks. They should be on the other side."
Inky kicked the door open and Blinky darted in, only just missing taking a platter to the face as she did. Inky came in after, also just missing the backswing of the same platter.
"You aren't allowed to touch me!" a filly growled from her perch on her bed.
The two soldiers blinked for a moment before giving Rosebud smile.
"Its Inky and Blinky, we're friends with Twilight and Aon!"
Rosebud's face lit up immediately as she dropped the platter and smiled.
"I knew they wouldn't leave me. Char said they would, because she says power make ponies hurt ponies, but I knew Twilight and Aon just wanted to be nice and take care of me!"
Blinky readied her sword and took point as Inky lifted Rosebud up onto her back. Just as the three made to leave the disfigured pony slammed a wall of magic into the soldiers.
Readying two swords, the disfigured mare made to dispatch Inky and Blinky when the entire complex shook from a massive explosion. Using the advantage of the mare being off balance Inky and Blinky pushed past the disfigured pony with Rosebud and ran.
~^~^~^~
There was nothing slowing down the enraged unicorn as she burned any walls or ponies that got in her path. Amethyst flames rippled over Aon's fur as she surrendered her will, if only temporarily, to the entity inside of her. As the carnage continued she felt every bad memory, every pain, every betrayal, rip through her mind, threatening to overwhelm her. Any attempts at regular thought settled into beliefs of death and chaos.
As her fears and pains continued playing, the mare slowly descended into the depths of her mind, allowing the entity full control.
~^~^~^~
Rosebud was hefted up onto a stretcher despite her want to go to her room, but the medical ponies wouldn't let her. As she looked ahead she saw the Inky and Blinky being rushed ahead of her. As her gurney was being quickly pushed down the hall, she saw Twilight turn the corner and quickly gallop to the gurney's side.
"Rosebud!" Twilight cried, nuzzling the filly in a manner she remembered Celestia used to do to comfort her. "I'm so happy you're safe!"
"Hi Twilight! Where's Aon?"
Twilight froze, a lump forming in her throat.
"I know where she is!"
Both Twilight and Rosebud looked up to see Scootaloo coming towards them. Then, from the shadows out stepped the disfigured mare. Scootaloo looked right at the scarred pony.
"Sweetie Belle, tell them."
