A Brand New Life!

I was sitting on the ground staring off to where Fluttershy flew to. Fluttershy had just kissed me, though it was shocking, i enjoyed it. It was a soft kiss, I couldn't explain what had happened, but I wanted it to happen again.

Did you have any fun?

"Lots of fun."

Need anything?

"No."

Ok, you might either want to go after her or go back to the liabary.

I stood up and looked at the back to the liabary, then to where Fluttershy flew off. I had made my decision. I want to go to Fluttershy.

I jumped in the air and followed to where Fluttershy flew, hoping to see her again. I didn't know where she lived, but I was determind to find out.

I was flying through the air until I reached a forest.

"Oh great, its the same freaking forest!" I said as I landed at the border of it. I stared at it, I couldn't see far but I knew Fluttershy flew here. I walked into the forest in search for her.

--

I was walking in the forest unable to see anything, so I held my hand open and a small flame popped out emiting light for me to see. It was still hard to see but it was a little brighter.

I continued to look for Fluttershy until I triped and fell right on my face. I groaned in pain as I push myself off the ground. I then heard a deep low growl.

I looked up to see a pair of eyes staring at me, I got up as quickly as I could and was looking at the eyes. It then jumped out and let out a roar. It was a monster of complete horror.

It had a body of a lion, a pair of bat wing and a scopion tail. I was frozen with fear not knowing what to do but run away, or accept my fate.

I jumped in the air and tried to fly away, but the creature also jumped and clawed my side and I fell to the ground.

I held my side in pain, I held my hand to my face and saw I was bleeding. I held my side again and stood up, I looked back at the creature and I slowly backed away. I was walking towards me, growling with hunger.

I was about to turn and run, but the thing launched itself at me and clawed my chest. I yelled in pain and I fell to on knee, holding both my chest and side. I looked up at the creature, it then clawed my arm it caused me to fall to the ground.

I held my eyes shut trying to ignore the pain, I felt the breath of the creature on my face. I then acceptd my fate.

"What are you doing!?" I heard a familiar voice say. "You know its not right to eat other things."

The creature let a soft growl out and backed away from me, I felt relief run through my body.

"I just hope what ever you hurt is o-" Was all I heard out of her. I heard someone running over to me.

"Shadow! Shadow! Are you ok." She said as she pulled me into her arms.I opened one of my eyes and looked to see a concerned Fluttershy holding me close.

"Y-yeah F-Fluttershy, I'm fine." I choked out as darkness was forming around me. I chuckle a little, think about what is happening. "You know Fluttershy its, funny. I came here to be with you, and I am. A little beaten but."

"Shadow, don't talk. Save your energy." She said holding me closer. Tears had begun to form in her eyes. I brought my hand to her face and brushed the tears away.

"Don't cry Fluttershy." I said as the darkness slowly came closer. I blinked and felt my vision getting darker. I finally closed my eyes and finally let the darkness in.

--

Darkness, darkness was all I could see. Though it was a wet darkness, I felt awake but not alive.

"Am I dead?" I asked myself looking around at nothing.

No your just in your inner mind.

I looked in front of me to see a stallion wearing a red suit. He had a white fur coat and flame like eyes, a scar across his left eye. I tilted my head because he was the only other person here who could have talked.

"Shade?" I asked moving closer.

The one and only.

"W-what happened?"

Well, when someone carrying an element stone in their body, have a close death experience which causes them to enter their inner thoughts.

"So how do I get out?"

Whoa, slow down there, you just got here. You can't leave with out finding out a ability.

"What do you mean?"

Well take the fire thing you've done.

He then opened his hand and a small fire ball erupted from his hand.

Like this, I can manipulate fire, I can also manipulate it with the body.

The fire then went into his hand and his arm caught on fire, but it quickly stopped as his arm turned into a giant blade. I stared at his arm in amazement, he chuckled and walked up to me.

All theses powers could be your but for now you have to wait.

He brought the blade up to my face and held the sharp part to my cheek.

Just known this, never turn your back on me.

--

I woke up sitting up quickly, I was breathing heavily from what I had experienced. What was Shade talking about?

"Shadow!" I heard Fluttershy say, she then ran over to me and pulled me into a hug. I was confused for what was happening, but I didn't care. I returned the hug and Fluttershy had began to cry again. I pulled her back and wiped her tears away.

"I told you not to cry." I told her again. She let out a soft giggle, she then looked over my body. I looked down and noticed my shirt was gone and replaced with bandeges over my sides and chest.

"Thanks for helping me Fluttershy." I said as I held my wounds.

"It was nothing really, I thought you were dead though."

I looked around the room I woke up in and noticed that I was in a small cottage like home.

"Is this your home?" I asked looking at her.

"Yeah, I took you here to help you."

I pulled Fluttershy close and gave her another hug. She gladly returned the hug, I was happy to me with her. She then pulled away and looked into my eyes with a blush on her face.

"Um, about what happened, when we were at that pond. I just..." She trailed off on her words. She was looking away, trying to hide her blush.

"I found you very kind, you weren't to demanding with things. And your really cute, I just couldn't resist anymore." She said as she looked back into my eyes.

She moved closer to me and connected our lips. Again it was a soft kiss, I enjoyed the feeling and kissed her back. I didn't want to put to much force into the kiss not wanting to seem like a freak.

She eventully pulled back with a small blush and a smile on her face.

"Was that ok?"

"It was just fine Fluttershy." I said as I gave her a hug.

All I knew now is that I was happy to be with her, but my mind thought back to what Twilight would say.
