as the clock turns chapter 10

William: I apologize for the lateness. I was preoccupied by Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, and other miscellaneous stories.

Leon: What a nerd.

Fenrir: You do realize he can destroy you in a fight.

Leon: I'd like to see him try.

William: I refuse to fight someone like Leon. Here is chapter 10.


Unknown location

"So that is the princes' secret. This is going to be more amusing than I thought." The mysterious voice said. "Discord, you mind fetching me the aspects of death?"

Discord looked shocked. "How do you-"

"I know many things. As well as your friends true identity." The voice said. "And you will get them for me, no matter what you want."

Discord became enveloped in black mist. His eyes went foggy and bowed to the voice. "As you wish, master." He snapped his fingers and teleported to Equestria.


Canterlot castle, midnight, Sky's pov

"And nopony ever saw him again." Twilight finished telling his story. Everypony but Si was terrified. Rainbow and Storm were holding on to each other so tightly Rainbow started turning purple. Dracaena was trying to put on a brave face for Rarity but failing miserably. Crys had turned invisible holding a terrified Party Time. Me and Serene were clinging to Si who still expressed no emotion at the story.

Twilight laughed. "It was really that scary?" We all nodded silently.

"Well, at least it was just a story." Rarity said. The lights flickered and Twilight disappeared. We all screamed and ran into the halls. Me, Serene, Rainbow, and Storm ran to the throne room. Luna was running towards us when she was tackled by a creature.

"Run!" She said as she fought the creature.

"Back to the room!" Rainbow yelled as he was running. As we ran I saw Fluttershy hiding behind a plant. I grabbed him and teleported us all to the room.

"What the hell was that?" Storm asked when we calmed down.

"No fucking idea, but it got princess Luna. It has to be powerful." Serene said.

"It's too strong. We need to get out of the palace." I told them.

"What about the others?" Rainbow asked. "We can't just leave them here."

I nodded. "We need to split up and find them."

Serene smacked me. "You dumbass! Have you learned anything from horror stories! If we split up we're gonna die!"

I sighed. "Fine. We won't split up." I slowly opened the door and scanned the hallway. "Coast clear." I grabbed the unconscious Fluttershy, shrunk him down to the size of a marble and put him in my mane. Me and Serene followed Rainbow and Storm into the dark hallway. We decided to go the same direction Crys and Party went in. I led the way since I knew the castle best. There was a strange buzzing in the air. I turned to the others and they looked at me in horror.

"It's right behind me, isn't it?" They nodded and I slowly turned around. It was a pony with a pitch-black hood on and holding a scythe. "It's just Si, you guys." I pulled her hood off and she just stood (A/N: Leon: what a weird word.) there with no sign of emotion. The others were obviously relieved.

"What's with the getup?" Serene asked.

Storm smacked her. "She's mute, you idiot. She can't answer you."

"She says she thought it would be funny." I told them.

"I just realized something." Serene said. "How can you understand what she says?"

I tapped my head. "Mind link." She looked puzzled. "You wouldn't understand. It's an alicorn thing." I said.

"Are you guys bucking insane?" Rainbow screamed. "Why the hoof are we just standing around making small talk where that thing can get us?" He was grabbed from behind by something invisible and pulled down the hallway.

Storm grabbed his hoof. "Leave no pony behind!" She said as she was losing the game of tug-of-war.

Rainbow sighed. "It's no use. You can't win." He leaned in and kissed Storm. "Bye." He said as he was taken by the creature. Storm was in shock.

"Let's go!" I shouted to Storm. She nodded and ran after me and Serene. We went in the first vacant room we could find.

"Where's the light switch?" Serene asked.

"YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" A voice yelled as it tackled me.

"What the hell was that?" Serene shouted.

"What did you do with the others, mysterious creature thingy?" A familiar voice asked me.

"Party?" I asked it.

"Don't change the subject, mystery creature. Where are the others?"

"Found the light switch." Serene said as the lights came back on.

Party saw who he had really caught. "Sorry." He said sheepishly as he got off of me.

"Apology accepted." I said.

"What's up with Stormy?" He asked. Storm still wore a look of disbelief.

"Rainbow kissed her." Serene said with a smirk.

"About time. It was getting hard waiting for them to get together. I already have a party planned." Party said with joy.

"It can wait until we save the others." Serene said. "Now that I think about it, aren't we missing somepony?"

"Oh yeah. Where's Crys, Party." I asked him.

His smile was replaced by a frown. "The creature got him. I'm sorry, Aeterna."

I sighed. "That's another friend that was taken from me."

Serene put a hoof around my shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll get him back." She told me.

The door to the room opened and a blue earth pony with a black mane walked in wearing a janitors outfit. He looked at us. "Sorry, didn't know this room was occupado." He said. "I'll be leaving now." He turned to leave but suddenly stopped. He turned and looked at Party with shock. "Pinkie? What the buck happened to you?"

Party gave him a hug. "Hi, Omni!" Omni had a look of shock.

"Hey, Omnifarious." Serene said.

"Shadow?" Omni asked. "Can somepony tell me what the buck is going on here?"

"Swirly cast a spell and we changed genders for a week." Serene explained.

Omni breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, I thought we were gonna have some time paradox stuff going on."

"Actually, it might be worse." I said. "We have some weird creature chasing us. It already got my aunt Luna."

"Wait a minute, you're prince Sky?" Omni asked with disbelief.

I nodded. "Technically, it's princess Aeterna now."

"Well, this is weird." He said.

"Around us, everything is weird." Serene said. "You get used to it." The lights turned off again. "Or maybe not."

"Where's Si?" Party asked.

"We need to go find Rarity and Dracaena before that thing gets us!" I yelled at them. Party screamed. I was thrown into the wall. Everything went dark.

I woke up and saw that Party had disappeared. "It's just us left." Serene told me.

I pulled out the marble sized Fluttershy and brought her back to normal size. He was still asleep. I was about to send him to his cottage, when he was surrounded by black smoke. His body was replaced by Si, who wore a look of confusion. The same black smoke surrounded us. "What's going on?" I asked them.

"No idea." Serene said. "But I think we're about to find out." We landed in the throne room where everypony was chained to the wall and unconscious.

"Well, well. Look who decided to pay me a visit." A familiar voice said.

"Discord. What are you doing here?" I asked him. "I thought you were on that mission I gave you."

Discord smiled. "I don't listen to you anymore. I serve somepony else. And he's very interested in meeting you."

"Who's this mystery pony, Discord?" "Please Aeterna, I'm not about to tell you in front of Celestia. I think i'll show you instead." He snapped his fingers and my surroundings changed. The throne room had become pitch black.

"Where are we?" Serene asked.

"You're in my castle, aspect of war." A voice said.

"What did you call me?"

"You are one of the aspects of death, War." The voice answered. "And you will bow down to me, Serene Haven."

Her eyes went foggy and she knelt into a bow. "Yes, my master. I, the aspect of war, will serve you till my dying breath."

"Omnifarious, Storm cloud, Silent Night. You three will serve me as well." The voice commanded. They all knelt and repeated the same thing Serene had said. Si said nothing.

"Why do you not speak, dark one?" The voice questioned.

"She is mute, my lord." Storm said.

"Interesting. And you, Aeterna. You are very important to me." Some of the dark mist solidified and formed the shape of a pony. He moved towards me. "You serve a very important purpose, aspect of love." The mist pony smiled and put a hoof on my head. "You will serve me."

I felt all of my reason die out. "Yes, master." I said. "I, the aspect of love, will serve you till my dying breath."

He smiled. "Good."
