Even a Princess Has Feelings: The Blackbell Chronicles

Chapter 1

(AN:I wanna say right now at the start that this fic is gonna be done through Blackbells POV or Point Of View. So it will be in first person so I hope you all enjoy!

Hey, This is Bronyboy777. I’ll be helping Ponylover make almost every single chapter, probably all of them. Enjoy! Oh and I should say right now that there might be a few changes from the original sorry bout that guys. :/)

I was in the same dream all over again for I think the hundredth time. I lost count really. I was in the same dark room inside a crib like structure. I couldn’t make anything out at all. But I did hear the sound of what I thought was fighting going on. With the sounds of cling and clanging. I heard the sound of what I thought was screaming of pain and splattering sounds. In the dream I was so afraid I was crying loudly hoping for something to happen. Suddenly there was a loud crashing noise. In my dream I looked to my left vision half blurry due to my tears and saw that it was my father.

When that happened I woke up gasping for air from my nightmare, vision blurry from tears, and in a cold sweat. I looked to my right past the half closed curtains covering little of the big glassed window and saw that it was still dark outside. Lunas moon was still up. I let out a sigh as I wiped the tears out of my eyes and slowed my breathing back to normal.

“Why does that keep happening over and over? If this keeps up I won't get any sleep.” I said aloud to myself. I then looked to my left at the decorative door standing high and big against the wall. I let out another sigh as I threw the covers off of me and instead of walking to the door made my way to the window. I opened the glass window that led to a balcony outside and walked onto it. I looked out as I felt the cool wind gently blow against me which was a soothing feeling to me. The wind blew against my black mane and tail along with my brown coat. My wings folded against my sides and horn poking slightly through my mane. I closed my eyes and breathed in the cool air a small smile forming on my lips.

The small amount of fear that I had felt moments ago was now fading away as if I never felt it in the first place. That’s when somepony appeared to my right.

“Well up early again I see blackbell.” I didn’t jump this time since I was so used to this. I opened my eyes and looked to my right to see one of my few best friends Princess Twilight. I chuckled at what she said.

“Yeah...same dream again I guess.” I replied.

“You know this is starting to become a habit Blackbell. Waking up around 2:24 A.M. and standing out here on the balcony overlooking all of canterlot.”

“You keep track of the time?” I asked. She just chuckled.

“Yeah...I can’t replace what I used to be before I became a princess I guess.” She said. That’s when I remembered about learning that Twilight was turned into a princess for all she had done and grew as a leader. Sometimes it seems like she wants to turn back while other times it seems that she’s ok with the changes she went through.

“Well....did I ever told you what the dream was about?” I asked. She shook her head.

“No...you never bothered to try or even seemed like you wanted to tell anypony. You always just say it was the same dream. You want to talk about it because I could probably help you or get somepony to help you.” She said with a slightly concerned tone in her voice. I nodded.

“Yeah....I really have to get this out. Hay maybe you might be able to tell me what it all means.” I said with a chuckle.

“Yeah sure. We better do this inside so we don’t catch a cold.” She said. I nodded as I followed her back inside into my room. She walked over to my bed and climbed on as I did the same sitting beside her. When I did that she wrapped a comforting hoof around my shoulders.

“Tell me as much as you want about your dream ok?” She said in a comforting voice. I nodded as I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. With my eyes still closed I began to say my dream aloud as it was happening all over again. Only this time I was hoping that I would see everything.

“I’m in a some sort of weird crib.” I began. “ I am crying out of fear and screaming for any kind of comfortment. Then I stopped crying when I heard some sort of yell....like somepony yelling charge or something. Then there what seems to be an earthquake happening with the sound of a loud rumbling and the earth began to shake. I could hear a loud yell being heard from what seemed to be outside and then a few seconds later the sound of a loud clang. The two, four, eight, I don’t know how many. Seconds go by and I hear the kind of sound you would hear when a sword goes through.......a body. I don’t why I know that but I just do.” I could feel tears start to rise into my eyes as I continued to remember.

“ I continue to cry as the sound continued outside and I hear the sounds of screams, magic being used, then the plops of a pony falling dead. I want it to stop I yearn for it...then it just gets worst. Then I hear a voice I will never forget...... my fathers. He’s yelling commands of some sort. Then I can hear the fight getting closer and closer my crying getting worse. Then I hear my mother yelling but I can’t make it out. It sounds like a warning and as soon as I hear that theres a loud crash and I see my father through the bars of my crib.” I close my eyes tightly doing my best to keep my tears in as my voice shakes slightly. I’m starting to cry because of the state my own father was in.

“ I see him in all this armor with his sword covered in green. His armor splattered green and some red. I see him...panting as he looks up at me. I stop crying and reach out to him somehow knowing that he’s there to save me. He faintly smiled as he gets up and starts to stagger towards me. But when that happens I see...him. Discord charges forward and tackles my father to the ground right in front of me. I begin to cry again as I see Discord raise his hand that has the paw of a manticore. It turns into a claw as he thrusts it at my father. My dad was able to raise his sword in time to stab his paw making discord yell in pain and anger. That’s when my dad head butted him making Discord stagger up and get kicked away from him into a wall.” Tears overflow through my closed eyes as I continue the nightmare for I know what happens next.

“ But before my dad has time to react I hear discord speak....i’ll never forget what he said. He said ‘I see you love your precious daughter.....guess I won't need her now.’ I just see my dad get up quickly and his eyes grow wide with terror. I look up and see that discord has his blood dripping paw over me claws out. He then charges from where he was thrown at me. What happens next is just too quick. My dad jumps forward in front of discord. He wasn’t fast enough to raise his sword and was slashed. I see his helmet get thrown off of his head while his head is jerked up. Blood flies through the air...the blood belongs to my dad. He yells in pain as he drops his sword and raises his hands up to his face..then is thrown to the side like a piece of trash and into a wall.” Tears are pouring out now as I begin to sob but want to finish the dream to get it over with.

“Discord l-l-laughs as he makes his way over to my d-d-d-dad. I cry now seeing my dad get hurt and I stretch my h-h-hooves forward wanting it all to just stop and be held. Discord raises his paw up again it covered in blood my dad on the ground groaning in pain as he looks at me. His hand against his left eye his other held up towards Discord. Discord laughs as he thrusts his paw forward to hit my d-d-d-dad. But then something amazing happens.” Then just like that my tears begin to slow along with my sobbing as I continue to talk nearing the end.

“I hear my mom yell something in anger and charges. She lowers her head and as soon as she did that I saw something shoot out of her horn. Its a deep black with a mixture of green. As I saw that shoot from her horn and hit....Discord he just....screamed in pain. I think........I think I saw so much blood......then he fell. I saw my father stand up from the ground with the help of my mother. My father took his hand away from his face and I saw the wound he had. The wound looked like a lightning bolt had hit him.....it looked so painful for him...but my mother used some kind of magic and it seemed to have helped him as he let out a sigh. Then they both looked at me a small smile forming on their faces. I again raised my hoofs into the air at them and somehow....was laughing happily.”

My tears finally came to a stop and my sobbing was now completely gone as I ended what I now knew certainly was a memory. I rubbed my eyes with my left foreleg sniffling a little. I opened my eyes and looked to my right to where Twilight was sitting. She seemed to have tears in her eyes a faint smile on her face. Then out of nowhere she just pulled me into a tight hug. I didn't try to get away....in fact I welcomed it greatly. I wrapped my forelegs around her tightly as we just held one another. I knew then that there really was another pony who carred for me deeply.

The Parents

Even a Princess Has Feelings:Chronicles of Blackbell

Chapter 2

I don't know how long we held the tight hug, but to tell the truth I truly didn’t care. I just felt safe in Twilight's embrace. Under her massive wings and her forelegs I just felt totally safe. I could tell that she was crying a little. I too began to cry but this time out of relief. Relief from the nightmare finally being over and finally I could probably sleep in peace. I was just so happy at that moment....probably felt better than I have ever been my whole life. The nightmare...the terrible memory was now finally over for good. I just had to tell somepony I guess.

After a while of just hugging I finally decided that I should pull away from the hug. When I did that Twilight did the same, but with more reluctance to move away from the hug. When we fully pulled away from one another I looked into her eyes. That’s when I got the thought to ask her a question.

“Twilight.....do you think I should tell my parents about this memory?” I asked.

“Well.....I can’t pick your path for you Blackbell. I mean I could tell you some things that you don’t know. But in my opinion I think that you should tell them because they are your parents and I’m sure that no matter what happens they will always love you in the end.” Those words might have been true...in fact i’m positive they are. But for some reason I just refused to believe that. I think it might have been my age, but I just decided on my own in the end.

“Twilight....lets keep this secret to the both of us ok?” I asked. I was really hoping that she would say yes. It was just....I didn’t want my parents to find out what I knew. I guess it came with the age I was in. Age 16.

Twilight just let out a sigh as she looked ahead of her looking out the window. She seemed to have been deep in thought thinking of what to say and if she would keep the promise if she said yes. It was only a few seconds but felt like hours before she answered.

“Like I said Blackbell this is your path and you get to choose how you follow it. So yes I will keep this between us.” She said as she looked back at me a small smile forming on her lips. I was really happy all of a sudden as I hugged her tightly in gratitude. She just chuckled and hugged me back. We hugged for a few seconds before I pulled away. Then Twilight looked outside again as I did the same and saw that the sun was just starting to rise.

I smiled as I knew what that meant. I knew that my mom Princess Celestia was awake and was now awaking every other pony in equestria. That too had to mean that my dad was awake. He was named “Prince Jerry.” It was cool having a king for a dad since it came with its perks. Being able to have almost anything I want.. But the only thing that was different about my dad from all the other ponies in equestria was that he was a human. Yep a human and in case that nopony knows what they are a human is a mammal that has two legs and stands up straight. They have hands that have these things called fingers that help them pick up or use objects around them without using magic. I know all this because my dad told me. But back to reality.

I looked at Twilight and smiled at her as she smiled back.

“C'mon we better go and see your parents to let them know that you're awake now.” I nodded and with that we both got off the bed and made our way to the giant decorative door that was covering my room from the outside of the castle. I looked back at the window balcony and saw that I forgot to close it. So I did that quickly as a brownish arora engulfed my horn and lit the two knobs of the doors then closed them. I turned around and followed Twilight to where my parents were waking up.

We walked through the hallway for a good bit of time before we came to a stop in front of another big decorative door. Except this one was the most famous one. It had the drawings of the most famous day in Equestrian history. It had a large army of ponies on the door to the left charging down a hill with both my mom and dad leading the charge. My dad his sword drawn out held in his hand yelling in full armor with a chest plate and leggings. For my mom she had a helmet that had an opening to let her horn out. She was in full armor legs covered along with her whole body. Behind them both was the huge equestrian army. Some flying others charging on the ground with my parents, swords out by using their mouths.

To the right was what seemed to be Discord with Queen Crysalis and her army behind them ready to do battle. I knew all this thanks to the private schooling I got from my own mom and Twilight even sometimes from my dad. I took a deep breath and we walked through the doors. My parents were by the big master window to the left of their bed while they were laying on it. My mom was under the covers except for my dad who was on top of the covers seeming as if he was trying to comfort her. Strangely her eyes were a bright pink color with rings around them.

“Um...morning.” I said trying to get their attention. They both looked at me and gave me a warm smile. Both my mom and dad did.

“Ah well morning Blackbell and to you Twilight. How are you two this morning.” Jerry asked.

“I’m good.” I replied.

“Same.” Twilight replied back as well.

“Um...mom are you ok? You look like you were just crying before we got here.” I said with some concern in my voice. My mom then looked at my dad as if realizing that it looks like she just cried.

“Oh well.....it’s nothing that you need to worry about sweetie I just had a bad dream is all nothing bad really.” She said smiling at me. Now I knew that something was wrong with her but I just went along with it.

“Well if you say so......hey when is breakfast i'm starved.” I said. That caused all of them to chuckle at me. To tell the truth I was happy with that.

“Soon Blackbell soon.” Dad said. I still couldn’t get it out of my head that I was able to find out that the mark on his face was a battle scar. The mark it left on his left eye. His eye was clouded over to show blindness and the lightning bolt look it had on him. I caught myself staring and shook my head quickly to get back to reality.

“You ok Blackbell?” Twilight asked. I nodded.

“Yeah still trying to wake up is all.” I replied. Twilight just seem to shrug it off as it seemed a thought went through her head.

“Um.....Blackbell could you go to the library? I’ll meet you there when i’m done talking to your parents ok?” She said. I was a little surprised that she would tell me to go somewhere i wasn’t a fan of but i did what I was told and left the room. Little did I know that from that moment forth certain event would happen that would change my young life forever.

Shocking Truth

Even a Princess Has Feelings:Chronicles of Blackbell
Chapter 3
Shocking Truth

I was in the library of canterlot looking for a place where I could sit and wait for Twilight. As I looked around I noticed all of the books on the massive bookshelves all around me. That’s when I noticed a certain book that had my dads name on it called “The History of Prince Jerry.” Now when I saw that I just used my magic and took it off the bookshelf.

I levitated in front of my and saw how dusty it was. I wondered how long it had been since anypony had even opened or held the book. I blew at the book making dust and whatever else was on it fly through the air. I waved my hoof in the air to get rid of the dust that flew and coughed slightly as I breathed some in by accident.

I then opened the book and saw to my surprise what it was. The book said “History of Prince Jerry. Written by: Prince Jerry.” I was intrigued by this as I flipped to the next page. But not today I really wished that I never ever opened the book.

The book went on from the very beginning of the life of my.....dad. From when he was in his home world called “Earth”.....and then it went on from when he was in his car driving.

(Sometime Later)

I had to put the book down I... I just had to. I read too much for me to comprehend. I had no idea at all of what happened after my father had arrived. I was never told from my mom, dad, nor by Twilight. For when he arrived strange things started happening starting with...my uncle Shining. From what I was told about him from Twilight and my Aunt Cadence that he was so kind and gentle unless provoked.

But in what my dad had written about the fight it was far from the Uncle I knew. I mean he.....killed my dad! I could already feel the tears in my eyes flow out and down my cheeks. I took a shaky breath as I looked around quickly hoping that nopony was around watching from the distance. Luckily I saw nopony around as I looked down at the book. It was opened towards the end of the book by now.

My heart was racing from fear. To tell the truth I didn't want to finish it, but I had to or the thought would just linger in my head for awhile. As I picked the book up I heard a familiar voice behind me.

" I see you found the book your Dad tried so hard to hide." I turned and saw my Mom standing behind me. My eyes went wide in surprise as I saw her. From shere surprise I droped the book from magical grasp and it fell onto the floor making it close.

"Mom! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" I yelled placing my hoof to my chest trying to control my rapid breathing.
My mom just gave a gentle smile at me.

“Sorry about that sweetie.” She said in an apologetic voice. I just let out a sigh from this.

“It’s ok mom.....you just caught me by surprise is all. But this book....... I mean..... this all really happened?” I asked. She just nodded.

“Everything you read really happened just in his point of view. He decided to make this book to tell all the other ponies in the castle and even in ponyville what happened to him and how he got here. If you have any questions about this that you may not understand you are free to ask me.” I had to think a little bit before the question I wanted to ask came to mind.

“Well...I was at the part when the castle was invaded then I was...kidnapped. Well i’m still here and alright but....how was I brought back? I mean from what I read I should be...dead right?” I asked. She just let out a sigh as I could tell she was contemplating on what she should tell me. She placed a hoof gently on my shoulder as she gave me her answer.

“Your father and I have talked about this several times already. But we believe that they only took you to get to us. I mean if they wanted to......they really could’ve killed you. At the castle even. So they really took you so we would come and try to rescue you. I’m sure they thought they would win. But somehow we won.”

“How? I mean if they were able to take me as easily as they did then they surely had more troops than we did at the time.” That’s when she smiled at me.

“Well you see we had something they didn’t. We had more will to fight and a reason to. We all fought to come and rescue you. Not only that but many of the guards that helped with the fight fought to avenge those who died. We all had our own reason to fight, but of course your father and I had our main reason.” I smiled at her.

“To save me.” She nodded and pulled me into a hug. I hugged back and as we held the embrace another question came to mind.

“Mother....I have another question.” We broke the embrace as she looked at me with a question look on her face. “What ever happened to that mist? The one that attacked Aunt Luna and father?”

“Well.....you got me there. Tell you the truth I don’t know myself. Your father never answered that for me. I don’t think that he even knows himself.” She replied. I let out a sigh not towards her but for not having an answer. I just shrugged.

“Oh well you can’t always get answers for everything right? But how was my father able to survive all that happened to him?” I asked. Mother shrugged.

“Again I have no idea. I never bothered to ask him those kind of questions for I was just happy that he was alive and here with me. Some questions are left better unanswered and asked. Now c’mon I came to get you for your father would like to speak to you and don’t worry about Twilight. Something came up at the last second so she won't be here.” I nodded as I followed her placing the book back on its shelf.

As we walked through the castle to get to where she was leading me I looked around again and saw all the paintings on the wall just admiring them. Before I knew it I we were at the entrance to the room I was told never to go into. It was where my father did his studies and work. His “den.”

“He’s waiting for you. He wanted to talk to you alone. He knows about your nightmares as do I. He wanted to tell you what happened during the battle.” I looked at her with shock on my face.

“Wait...he’s gonna tell me what happened? You mean the whole battle or...” I let that word linger.

“No....he’s not gonna describe the battle for it would be too graphic. He wants to tell you somethings I can’t answer for you. Some things that went through his head as he charged into battle.” That’s when she opened the door with her magic and sitting there in the middle of the room was my father. Waiting for me with a small smile on his face.
