Chapter 2
Meeting Some Long Lost Siblings

I tried and rubbed my eyes, the sun beaming out the window... I took a groggy look at the clock dad had given me... 10:00... I had been up all night...as far as I recalled, I had only gotten 2 hours of sleep... I got up and stretched, letting a yawn through my tired mouth... After taking a shower, I went down stairs to be greeted by mom and dad...

"Mornin' pal!" Dad said in his usual voice, looking up from a news paper...

"Morning Hyper," Mom started to say, but stopped... "Ya don't look like ya got the good 9 'ours a sleep..." She said, knowticing my tired looking eyes...

"Nah, I'm fine" I shrugged her worries off... "I'm still tired, 'at's it..."

"You sure, hon?" Mom asked...

"Positive" I replied and went over the the table to eat the breakfast she had made...

~2~

After eating my share and reciving another worried look from my mom, I headed out the door to get the town implanted into my head... There was a large, circular, tall building in the center of town... That must be the Town Hall... I studied the stunning feat of enginering... According to dad, this place was nearly destroyed once... Kinda hard to believe now... Losing intrest, I continued to walk through town, getting some friendly waves and smiles from the locals.

'This ain't such a bad place...' Quick said...

'Yea...Everypony here is quite friendly' Note replied

"You don't say..." I muttered...

~2~

I've walked a few times around the town, and started to get the hang of where each building is... Only thing is... I wasn't exactly watching where I was going and bumped into somepony

"Oh, sorry..." I said, quickly... The pony was a pegasus, a bit taller than I was, mare, a bit older than I was, according to looks...which is to say around...16? She also had light rose eyes, a light hue of blue in her coat with a faint gray mane, which was softly flowing along with the wind. A pink-blue-ish bow tied into it... She gave me a small smile before replying...

"Oh, no it's nothing... I haven't seen you around before... Are you new here?" She asked

"Yea...I got here...'round 5 in the evenin' last night..." I replied...

"Really? Also, I swear that accent sounds fimiliar..." The mare put a hoof on her chin...

"Manehatten, and a bit a southern" Her eyes went wide in realization

"Ah...My mother was from Manehatten as well..."

"Oh, really?" I asked...

"Yes, and my father was from Trottingham"

"Trottin'ham? Isn't that...like...Apploosa down south...?" She gave me a nod... "Thing is... My ma was from Manehatten, and My dad was...somewhere like I said, Apploosa down south..." She gave me a quizical look..

"Really? That's weird..." I gave a nod of agreement... then remembering that one thought on the train...I started to think there's more similiarities between me and this mare than just looks...

"Also, I didn't catcha name, mine's Hyper Beat"

"I'm Flitter" She replied... Flitter...Flitter... Ah, I can't remember what, but it has that...fimiliar vibe to it...or I just might be losing my sanity over thinking all of this, either one is a viable explanation at this point... A toll of the bell broke our conversation... "Oh dear, I have some stuff to do, I'll see you around...Hyper!" She said, recalling my name... I gave a small wave before continuing on my journey,,,

~2~

After getting a quick snack from home, I went out again, this time, just to wander around and do stuff... I.E. I had nothing in mind to do, but luckily a voice called me...

"Hey...You're Hyper, right?" A pegasus landed infront of me, looking almost exactly like Flitter, only the mane was diffrent, along with the voice...

"...Uhh..Yea, why?" I asked...

"Flitter told me about you, something about having parents from the same places?" She asked...

"...Yea, right...sooo..?" I said again..

"What are your mom and dad's names?"

"Whoa, what's yer name first?" I said quickly...

"Cloudchaser, now what are their names?" She asked again...

"Dad's Tuned Strings and Ma's Strobe" I said quickly, her pressing for info kinda scared me a bit... Her expression when from determined, to shocked, then softend to a small smile...

"That's all I really needed to know...sorry for scaring you..." She said and took off...

~2~

"Wait, who asked for our names?" Mom asked, just to clarify things...

"Her name was Cloudchaser, why?" I said. It was around 8:00 by the time I got back to eat supper, and I had told them about my day...

"And who was the other mare that you talked to? The one that looked like Cloudchaser?" Dad asked...

"Flitter...again, why do you want to know?" I asked, mildly annoyed... My parents gave each other a look of shock then grinned...

"Hyper...It's time you meet you sisters..." Mom said...

"...Wait what?" I asked, and a knock on the door sounded...Mom opened the door...I heard a voice...

"...I'm home ma" Dad got up...

"Is that you Flitter?" He asked as he half walked, half ran ot the door...

"Yes...it is..." the voice replied back...

"...What's going on?" I asked... Mom and dad walked back into the room, along with Flitter and Cloudchaser, both smiling hugely... Cloudchaser saw me and spoke first...

"I never knew my little brother would be so cute..." She said...

"...Wait, what?" I asked again, a bit confused on the situation...

"Hyper, these are your sisters, twins in fact... Flitter and Cloudchaser..." Mom said...I was beyond speechless... Flitter came in from the blue and gave me a quick hug...

"How are you doing, brother?" She asked, it took me a while to get out of the daze...

"I-I'm fine...but...how didja know where we lived?"

"I was watching what house you came out of..." Cloudchaser replied...I gave her an uncomfortable look... "Sorry.." She said idly, Flitter just giggled a bit...

'I knew they looked fimiliar' Quick said...

"How didja know?" I asked quietly to keep from being caught...

'If I remember correctly, there was a picture of them as fillys on the wall in mom's room back in Maenhatten' He said...

'Oh, I remember now!' Note replied... A flash back filled my vision for a quick bit, a picture of two fillys, both with the same coat and eye color, only diffrence being the mane...

~2~

My new found sisters had gone to their home, while I lay in my bed, awake... It took me a while to finaly fall asleep...but what was coming was totaly out of the blue...

My lungs clawed for air as I ran through out town, the time being around midnight... I suddenly tripped over something cold...I took some time to get up and let my eyes adjust to the darkness...then screamed...

It was a body, an all to recently fimiliar body in the middle of a puddle of blood... Flitter's body...brutaly maimed and cut, her eyes closed painfuly, and her mouth clenched as if she were suffering... It was all too much for me... I franticly shook her, begging her to wake up...but instead, her body turned and revealed a little note, scratched out in her blood... 'Cloudchaser Will Be Chased...In The Clouds' I got up and tried to run off to find Cloudchaaser, but suddenly a hoof wraped around my mouth, and a feel of cold, bloody steel on my neck... a dark, evil voice muttered words...

"Wakey Wakey, Hyper Beat..." It sneered before slitting my throat...

I got up with a yell. My bed was comepletely dissoriented, I was covered in cold sweat and was breathing extremely hard... I quickly checked the time... 5:00... I felt a bit numb wehre the dream knife had slit... That dream... I gave off a sudder... This is going to be one heck of a day...
