A/N: My ideas began flowing again and I have another good chapter for you my dear readers. Please Review!
They're beautiful... the stars I mean. One doesn't just look at them anymore. I do though. Every night before I go to bed, I look out my window and gaze at the stars. I also smile back at the smiling face in the moon. On a good night, I see the bunny in the moon. When I do this, I think of my place in the world.
Who am I...?
Where does my purpose come from...?
When will I know my purpose...?
What am I...?
How will I know I know I have my purpose...?
Will any of this make sense before I grow old and die...?
Life is just a game some, a sick joke some higher power likes to tell. That's what I think anyway. Why live if I don't have a purpose in my life? What do I have to live for? What do I have to lose to gain everything? Do I have to sacrifice everything to achieve everything? So many questions and yet so few answers. I'm lost in the dark and no one wants to shine a light to show me the way.
So I can come to a conclusion about what I am and where I am. I am what people call an outcast and I am where the light does not shine. A place where the eye does not see. Far beyond the limits of one's sights and smells. I'm nowhere close enough to feel a loving touch.
Which brings me to my next question...
...Am I Good or am I Evil...?
-Rowdy-
I woke up on top of the pile of the sibling heap as usual to the sound of music. Tyke was under my body. Our bodies formed a cross like shape over one sister, Shimmer. Dashal was far off in the corner curled up in a ball. I don't know why she doesn't sleep with us. It kinda hurts my feelings that she doesn't anymore.
Either way, I yawned, stretched my limbs and slid off my siblings. They all yawned awake at the sound of music played. Behind us was a small orchestra that wakes us up. Waking up to music is one thing we all like doing and all of us can agree on favoring.
"Morning all," I said and we all took turns greeting each other as usual. I stood up and that's when Derpy walked in. Her beautiful grey frame walked up to us and I knew I was blushing. She was so pretty, especially since her and I shared the same condition. Our left eyes always seemed to look up and away. The difference between our eyes though was that mine was genetic and not just some hiccup and kept around because of some silly humans found it cute.
-A/N: I hope that burns Bronies. *I run away before I get beat up.*-
Since I was blushing I hid my face behind my downy orange mane, "Hello you guys," she smiled, "I have a package for you all."
"Oh really?" I stammered, "What's in it?"
"I dunno," she shrugged as she unlatched the box from her hip and scooted it over to us, "I'm just the Messenger."
Tyke walked over and opened the box, "Hey, our new collars came in!" he exclaimed and tipped over the box to allow the contents to spill out.
We all found our perspective collars and put them on. Mine was made from cherry gold. I love the color. Tyke's was bright yellow. Shimmer's was blue. We put our old ones into the top dresser drawer with the other olds ones we had.
"Thanks Derpy," I smiled at her.
"No problem little ones. Oh hey," she pulled out a small bag of dragon scales, "I got you this," she set it down in front of me, "There's a special gift in there for you. I'd give it to ya tomorrow on your birthday if I didn't have to travel to the Crystal Empire. Anyway, I gotta go," her and I gave each other a brohoof and she walked back out of our room.
Now all my siblings looked at me, "What?"
"You like her don't you?" Shimmer asked me.
"No, I don't," I lied, "She's too old for me and we are just friends," I rifled through the bag and found a rainbow dragon scale, "Woah! No way!" I exclaimed and pulled it out to set it on top of a small table under the window.
"Is that what I think it is?" Tyke and the others walked up behind me.
"Eeyup, a rainbow scale. A rare scale that is said to bring the holder much good fortune and prosperity. I thought that they were all gone," I was just so happy that Derpy found one, "This is so cool."
"That is cool," Midnight smiled, "How much do you think we can get for it?"
"I'm not selling it," I scorned her, "This belongs in my possession only. For it is, my precious."
I walked back over the back and picked it up. I took the bag over to a small trunk and opened it. Inside was a rainbow of differing colors of dragon scales. I dropped the scales inside and emptied the bag. Collecting dragon scales is both easy and hard at the same time. It's easy because they're everywhere in the dragon world. But hard because dragons hardly allow anypony inside their country. Luckily Spike allows a select few to enter. Twilight and Rarity for sure, and my Gran'ma and Derpy as well. I walked back over to the rainbow scale and gently picked it up with my mouth. I went to the fire place and set the scale on a scale mount next to a white scale and black scales. White and black scales are also rare, but not as rare as a rainbow one. "My collection is almost complete," I tell them, "All I need now is a crystal scale."
"You've been working on this for a while now," Tyke stated as turned to face my brother and sisters, "What are you gonna do when you're done?"
"I dunno," I shrugged, "I dunno. Maybe start up another collection."
"I'm proud of you bro," Tyke nudged my body with his.
"Thanks," I kinda felt embarrassed a little.
I heard the sound of a small gust of wind behind me and we all yelped in fear when we looked to see what it was. Granny Aj was standing there with my rainbow scale in hand. She looked at it and said, "I did knock."
"Of course you did," Dashal remarked.
"Lovely scale you have here," she said, "Very authentic. Depry must've slit a few throats to get this. The only one I know of lies deep within dragon country. I don't think that they would've given this up easily."
"What are you trying to say? She stole it?"
"Most likely," she nodded and set the scale back down, "But anyway, I have something for you all," Granny Aj pulled out four passes of some kind from her back pocket, "Four passes to the ferry to go visit Griffin territory with your father."
"Why do we have to go? We belong here," I told her, "We've been through this already. We don't want to go to Griffin territory. We will get made fun of."
"Listen to me. Your father wishes to go visit his homeland and you're all going with him. Griffin country is just as much a part of you as it is him."
"But Granny," we all whined.
"No buts," she said sternly, "You're all going whether you like it or not. Besides, who would make fun of you. You're my grandchildren after all. If someone does poke fun, threaten to tell me and have them executed or something," she shrugged.
"Are you coming with us?" Tyke asked.
"Sorry baby, but no. I'm not. I have to stay behind. But Granny Dashal is going with you. She wants to talk to the Griffin King anyway."
"But she's so... what's the word you guys?" Dashal asked, "Uh, wired."
"What makes you say that?" Aj asked.
"She always seems like she's a little too jumpy and always wanting to move around. It's like she's over charged with electricity or something."
"Well, she's going along with you and that's final," Granny Aj insisted before walking back out of the room.
-Dashal-
I was in my room awaiting Aj's arrival. Since was taking too long, I had stripped myself of all my clothing and drew a bath. I slowly dropped my body into the hot water and exhaled in pleasure. The hot water felt so good on these old joints.
And because Aj was taking too long, I slowly pushed two fingers into my soft wet folds. I moaned as I went as deep as I could and began pumping in and out. As I pushed back in, I curled my fingers to hit my sweet spot. Every time I did, I bucked my hips, "Oh Aj," I mewled, "Fuck me..."
I heard the door close and stopped fingering myself to look toward the door. There was Aj fully nude walking toward me. She slid into the large half sphere tub and laid back on the opposite side of me. She pressed her hands together and allowed two streams of smoke or vapor out of her nose. When the vapor or smoke hit the water, the water instantaneously became hotter and bubbling and water vapor filled the room like a sauna.
"You having fun?" she asked. I saw a vague outline of her body because of the dense layer of vapor.
"Yeah, I am," I sensed that she wanted to talk about something, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing babe," she rushed, "Don't worry about it."
"When someone tells me not to worry, it's as though they're telling water not to be wet. What's on your mind?"
"Here," she crawled over to me and handed me a small vile with a yellow liquid in it, "Drink this."
"For what?" I took it and looked at it.
"I'll let you know afterwards," I shrugged and trusted her enough to not have me drink something that would negatively impact my health. So I drank the liquid and a few seconds later my mind felt like it just came up for air. Like something or someone has been slowing its oxygen flow. When my mind felt better, my thought processing became faster and faster.
"What did you have me drink?" I smiled.
"A cure. Thank god," I looked at her funny, "I had some tests ran on your blood because I've noticed over the past decade that you've been slipping a little bit. So I've worked with Twilight to try and fine a cure for the rare brain thing that you have. At first we thought it was incurable, but a few months ago, we cracked the code on it and was able to find a cure."
"Why didn't you tell me I had a horrible brain condition?" I shouted at her.
"Because I was trying to find a cure," she got defensive.
"You could've at least said something!" I began climbing on of the tub, "You're an ass!" I spat at her.
"Baby, wait," she wrapped her arms around my hips and pulled me back into the water, "I'm sorry," she hugged me and feeling her wet body against mine couldn't have me stay mad at her for long. I turned around in her arms and her breasts covered mine.
Even at the age of sixty-six, she still had a killer body. Lightly defined muscles and abs. Her breasts weren't as big as they were twenty years ago, but still big all the same; and firm. They were so firm yet soft enough to be wonderful to grope in one's hands. Her yellow hair fell in front of her her face. I moved it out the way and rested my arms around her shoulders, "Despite you keeping a secret of myself from me, thank you," I pecked her on the lips with mine.
"You're welcome," she kissed both sides of my face and trailed small wet kisses down my neck and I exhaled slowly as my body got hot internally. I lifted my chin so she could have more room to kiss my neck, "Shall I clean up my dirty bitch?" she whispered softly in my ear.
I shivered at her words, "...Please do..."
She reached behind me and grabbed a bottle of soap. She backed away as she turned my body around with one hands. I soon felt hands covered in gel rub themselves all over my back. I moaned softly as she ran her hands down my back and softly groped my ass. She pressed herself against me and I felt more gel being rubbed up and down my sides. She passed her hands around my hips and converged them over my lower pelvis. She cupped my pussy with one hand as she moved her other hand up to my belly. I moaned in response to her touch. Although she represented rage and destruction, she knew how to be delicate and loving.
She soaped up my flat stomach and my pussy just felt like it was on fire. I was close to cumming and Aj knew that. She soaped up my belly and moved her hand to my breast. My breast were so small that they fit in her hand perfectly. I moaned in pleasure as she kneaded my breast. She used her middle and ring finger to stimulate my engorged clit to no end.
"Cum for me," her voice was dark and lustful.
"...more..." I pleaded and she rubbed my clit harder, "Aaaaah!" I yelled when her fingers entered into my pussy. I opened my legs a little to allow her fingers to go as deep as they could go. She moved to my other breast and began kissing the back of my neck. I felt her teeth graze against my skin and I was closer to cummimg, "I'm gonna cum! I'm gonna cum!" I kept repeating and finally did. As I came, Aj took her hand off my breast and went to my clit.
"NO!" I inhaled sharply because I was cumming without her even doing much. I blasted my juices all over her fingers and she pulled out of me. My knees buckled and I fell into the water. I rested on my elbows I placed on the edge of the tub. I saw two cream glazed be placed in front of my face. I knew what to do and licked them clean.
I turned around to her, "It's now your turn," she yelped when I pushed her back all the way to the other side of the tub. I grabbed the bottle of soap from her hand. I placed a decent amount on my hand and just attacked her breast. She moaned and panted and gripped my wrists. Her hardening nipples tickled my palms as I moved her boobs around. She panted heavily because this was her weakness during sex. Playing with her boobs always turned her on so much, "Please, don't torture me," she looked at me with pleading eyes, "I want more."
I moved my hands down to her defined abs and felt the dips in her belly. She hissed at my touch as I moved my hands back to her ass. It felt so nice under my fingers. Smooth and silk like. I pulled her in and ran my hand up and down her back. She purred and mewled and moaned my name. Her body shuddered against me and she jerked her hips forward.
I didn't say anything and I shoved one finger in her ass and another in her pussy. She gripped my shoulders and yelled, "Deeper Dashal!" her body went rigid and to make her experience more pleasurable, I stepped to her side and placed the side of my hand on her pussy. I rapidly moved my hand up and down and felt her clit against it. I moved my finger from her ass and shoved it into her pussy. She wanted to kiss me, but I just dropped my body and pulled my fingers from her pussy. I moved them to her front and lifted her leg onto my shoulder. She looked down at me with pleading eyes. I kept her gaze and moved forward. I ran my tongue over her clit and she bucked her hips into my face, "Don't move," I told her. It turned me on to prevent her to do something to make her orgasm more bearable. She gripped the ledge behind her and closed her eyes to lean her head back.
I shoved my two fingers inside of her pussy. I just wanted her to come quick. Which I did. She screamed my name when I lapped up her juices as they blasted themselves all over my face. I stood back up and had Aj clean off her mess.
We kissed and we groped each other passionately and fell into the water. We sank to the bottom of the tub and Aj's hair floated around her face as did mine. We smiled at each other.
A figure appeared above us and we decided to resurface. Kelsar was there looking at us, "Having fun?" she asked. She acted as though she wanted to join.
I looked to Aj and she looked to me. We smiled then looked back at Kelsar, "Care to join us?"
"Oh no, I can't do that," she backed off a little.
"Don't be a coward Kelsar," Aj said, "We've thought about experiencing a threesome and you're here. It'd be hot for all three Titans to fuck, don't you think?"
"I don't want to ruffle any feathers," she said and her cheeks turned red.
"Why don't you just do this? I don't take no for an answer," I told her.
"I'm just not as busty as Aj and I just am embarrassed is all," she slowly stripped her clothes. When she was naked, there was something revealed that we never would've expected.
She had a Penis...
"What?" she asked.
"We didn't think that you had a penis," I told her.
"It's new. I wanted to get it for occasions such as this one," she smiled and began stroking it. I saw lust filling Aj's eyes and she moved forward a little bit as Kelsar began entering the tub. When she got in the tub, Aj and I jumped her. Aj pushed her down to her butt and I gripped her member. Kelsar moaned loudly when I squeezed her sensitive cock tip.
Aj began kissing her and groping a breast. I latched a hand on her other breast and her boob was just amazing. They were a few sizes bigger than mine.
Also, her cock was huge. Aj and I have used dildos in the past, but this takes the cake. 20 inches of what is going to be pure pleasure for Aj and I. I straddled her hips and gripped her cock harder and she stopped kissing Aj to moan a long host of cuss words to describe her immense pleasure. Her cock got hotter and it began to throb.
"Do you guys always tease each other like this?" she looked into my eyes.
"Yeah, we do," Aj said and leaned in and licked the back of her ear. Kelsar bucked her hips and I could feel her heartbeat pick up. Aj pressed her palms against the Elf's boobs as she nipped at her skin. Kelsar I don't think could handle our foreplay and needed release.
"I need to cum!" she exclaimed, "I need to cum!"
She grabbed me and we switched positions. She bent me over the ledge and shoved as much of her member into me. I moaned in pleasure as she turned my pussy inside out. Aj lifted my body to sit in front of me. I moaned into her kissing mouth and groped her breasts, "She's so big," I told Aj into her mouth.
Kelsar stretched me more and more and I somehow loved being full to the brim with lady cock. Kelsar gripped my hips hard as she kept shoving herself into me. Kelsar stuck her thumnb into my ass and I screamed in pleasure, "I'm gonna cum soon!" Kelsar warned as I felt her member grow inside of me.
"Cum inside me!" I screamed into Aj's mouth. Aj tweaked my nipples and my second orgasm washed over me. I felt Kelsar blast her seed inside of me. It filled me up as her throbbing member's tip hit my sweet spot hard, strong, and over and over again. I felt her seed blast out of my pussy and down my thighs into the water. I collapsed and her cock pulled out of me.
-Aj-
I saw Dashal drifting away in the water with seed oozing out of her pussy into the water. I looked back at Kelsar with an evil look in her eyes and her member still hard. It's tip oozed cum still and I pressed myself against the wall of the tub, "It's your turn Aj," she smirked.
"Oh no," I said and Kelsar made her move. She grabbed my ass and lifted me up a little. She moved her hand right hand down to my left thigh and lifted it up a little. She used her other hand to drive her member inside of me. I yelped and instinctively wrapped my arms around her neck. She grabbed both thighs and plunged deep inside my pussy, "Your pussy is amazing," she panted, "I can't believe that I'm fucking both the Princesses."
"If you keep doing this, Dashal and I might have you do this more," I moaned in her ear. Her huge tip kept stamping itself against my sweet spot and I was about to cum hard.
"Your pussy is getting so wet," she looked deep into my eyes with hers, "Are you gonna cum?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna cum!" I almost yelled.
"Yeah? Cum for me," she demanded, "Cum for momma!"
She shoved her tongue down my throat and fucked my pussy harder. I liked how rough she was with me and it made my orgasm so much better, "FUCK ME! FUCK ME! FUCK MEEEEEEEEEEE!" I bucked my hips each time she thrusted hard inside me as I blasted her with my juices.
"I'M CUMMING!" her tip pushed its way past my cervix and into my womb before her seed shot into my womb. Her cock grew and I continued to scream in pleasure as she just plowed me into oblivion. Her hot seed filled my womb and pushed it out, "There's So Much Fucking Cum Inside Of Me!" I shrieked and her orgasm sent waves of pleasure through my body. Her thrusts became harsher and more labored the longer her orgasm lasted. When she was done, she wrapped her arms around my waist and lodged herself as deep in me as she could and spurted a few last small blasts of cum into my womb. I panted heavily and felt both saddened and happy that it was over. Her body shuddered like mine. She dropped to he knees into the water along with me.
We just held each other in silence for a few moments before we began kissing, "*kiss* That was*pant pant* amazing," I told her, "We should do it again..."
-Rowdy-
It was evening and I decided to drop by Derpy's to properly thank her for the dragon scales. I walked up to the door and knocked on it. A few seconds later, a stallion opened the door and filled the doorway, "Can I help you little squirt?" he said in a low baritone voice like Uncle Mac.
"Uh, I'm here to see Derpy," I shied away from him with a small voice.
"What business do you have with her?" his eyes turned sinister.
"Oh stop messing with him Stamp," Depry pushed him aside, "Hey Rowdy, sorry about my brother. He just loves messing with ponies."
"That's your brother?" I asked.
"The one and only," his voice was lighter and more playful.
"How come I've never heard of him?"
"He's part of a top secret guard team that doesn't like to be seen around much," she pushed her brother back, "C'mon on in," she said.
I went in and her log cabin house was lit with candle sticks that just made house look beautiful, "What's up?" she asked me when I went in and closed the door behind me.
"I wanted to thank you for those dragon scales is all," I told her.
"No problem," she smiled. I followed her to the den area and she sat down on a mat next to the fireplace. Her den was lined with letters and messenger bags leaning against the walls, "But I doubt you flew all the way up here just for a thank you."
"Well, I'm off to bed sis," Stamp kissed his sister on the cheek, "I'll see you in the morning," on his flank I saw the two letters "P.S."
"See ya Stamp," Stamp walked out of the room and Derpy looked at me with a smile, "What did you want to talk about?"
I wanted to tell her that I love her, but she's almost forty years older than I am, "I just want to confirm something is all," I wanted her to confirm that we cannot be and I can sleep soundly tonight.
"Sure, go for it," she seemed restless as her wings shifted on her back.
"I know this is wrong, but..." I paused to work back up the courage that took me the last twenty minutes to gain, "I... uh, I..." I closed my eyes.
"Oh," is all I heard that was soon followed by, "I see."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here," I turned to leave.
"Wait, I know how you feel about me Rowdy," I stopped, "You and I have a special connection that I will always treasure."
"It's only because we have a fucked up eye," I began feeling angry. I knew this would happen, but I wasn't ready for the emotional aspect of it all.
"That too, but we also just have our goofy nature and our love for dragon scales," she stood up and walked over to me. She ran a hoof through my hair and I instinctively purred, "You're young and I'm no longer young."
"I know," my ears dropped out of sadness, "I just thought you should know that I love you," I walked to the door.
Derpy got in the way of me leaving, "Where do you think you're going young one?"
"I'm going home. This was just a waste of time."
"On what grounds?" she wiped tears from my eyes, "I never said that this would be a waste of your time."
-Apple-
I sat on my shins looking at Blu's grave stone. It's been almost five years since I've lost him to old age. Every morning, I make it a point to come talk to him, "Dashal is planning on going to Griffin country today. She's going with Kirion and the children. Today is their birthday. I remember when they were first born. They were so small and frail. They miss you Blu," I feared up, "I miss you too baby."
"I'm sure he misses you too," I felt my mother's hand rest on my shoulder.
"And we all miss him," Aj sat down to my right and my mother to my left. Jack and her kids sat around the tombstone, "He will be sorely missed from now to the end of time. I never thought I'd miss my father so much," Aj teared up.
"Despite him being a stallion, he was like the son in law I've always wanted and never had," Granny Smith smiled and squeezed herself next to me and Dashal.
We sat in silence for a few minutes. I looked around and saw five generations of Apples and it brought a smile to my face, "Why are you all here?"
"Because we wanted to talk to you about something," Aj spoke and wiped tears from her eyes, "We wanted the best possible situation about dealing with dragons in Griffin territory. We know both are aggressive and stubborn breeds that never give up."
"Why are dragons outside their home nest?" I asked her.
"Because they were mining for a certain stone that lies within Griffin territory," Dashal stated, "I told the Griffin King about it and he permitted them to dig. But some of the knee Griffins don't like it and wan the dragons gone."
"Get them outta the territory and have the Griffins finish the mining. If there are those who don't want that to happen, set up a meeting between the two leaders to discuss the mining of the certain material. Dashal, act as a neutral and only that. Do not choose sides. No matter who gets the angriest at you."
"Yes ma'am," Dashal dipped her chin.
"Wait! Where's Applebloom?" I looked around.
-AB-
I was on my back as Nick ate me out. His long tongue reach the furthest into my pussy. I ran my hands through his hair and over his recently gained pony ears. My hips rolled along his tongue over the counter, "Nick! Please Make Me Cum!"
He stuck a finger inside of me and I moaned even more. After about a minute, he stood up and stroked his large member. He rubbed the tip up and down my slit to get it all slick and ready for plowing me. He positioned it at my hole and slammed our hips together. I yelped in pleasure as he hilted inside me. He grabbed my hips and repeatedly pulled out and forced himself back inside of me. Every thrust sent a moan free from my mouth.
"You're so fucking wet," he groaned then leaned over me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and we kissed. I groaned in his mouth as I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him deeper into me.
After a few more minutes, he pulled out of me and quickly flipped me over onto my stomach. He spread my ass cheeks and slowly pushed his tip into my ass crack, "You're too big!" I told him. We hardly fuck anally and this was why. His nine inch member was way too big for it to fit.
He didn't care about my plea for him stopping and he continued shoving his member deeper into me. When he fully hilted, he leaned over and placed his hands on either side of my head, "Move," he instructed. I whimpered as I slowly pulled forward. When his tip was left in me, I slowly pushed back and grit my teeth because of the searing pain, "Faster," he panted. His beard tickled the side of my neck when he whispered his command in my ear.
I picked up the pace a little despite me being in pain. Nick then wrapped his arm around my waist and shoved two fingers inside my pussy. I yelped at the sudden intrusion and continued spearing myself on his cock.
"You're not moving fast enough," his voice turned dark with lust, "Looks like I'd have to punish you."
"Please don't," I whimpered.
He stood back up and removed his fingers from my pussy. Nick grabbed my hips hard and began mindlessly fucking my poor asshole, "Please Stop!" I was almost in tears. I didn't want this anymore. Nick began scaring me as he mercilessly smack my ass.
I lifted up to place a hand on his pelvis to try and slow down his animalistic pace. He grabbed my wrist and forced my head back down by the neck. He twisted my arm so I wouldn't get up again and he just pounded me harder and faster. The more I pleaded for him to stop, the more he twisted my arm and the harder he went.
After another few thrusts he let go of my arm and pushed against my shoulders to keep me pinned. The more anger I felt, the more of a burning sensation crept over an isolated spot over my right hipbone. I dug my nails into the counter and left marks in it. My mind felt like it was being bombarded by pins and needles. The sound of metal banging together caught the attention of my ears. I looked around and saw the pots and pans hanging from the ceiling begin to move and bang against each other. For a split second I thought of turning them into sharp pointed spears and sending them through Nick's body. When I did, that's what happened. The pots and pans broke free from their bindings and curled into tight sharp spears and flew behind me. When I heard multiple thuds, the fucking stopped.
Soon after, I felt Nick pull out of me and I heard him fall. I dropped to my butt and pressed my back against the counter. The scene before me was Nick spazzing out with rods of metal sticking out of his chest. His all black eyes turned back to normal and he looked at me. Blood spurted out of his mouth and he finally said, "...I'm sorry..." he drew his last breath and died. I cried.
"Nick?" I already knew he was dead. I crawled over to his body and placed my hands on his face, "Nick! Nick! Don't leave me!" I shrieked. He was already gone, "What have I done?" I pushed myself back and against the counter. I brought my knees to my chest and placed my elbows on them so I could put my head into my hands. I have just murdered my husband. I couldn't believe it.
I just sat there and cried and cried... and cried some more. I cried harder and longer than I ever have in my life. I cried until I heard the back door that led into the kitchen open and close. I heard only one set of footsteps and I knew who they belonged to, "AB?" I looked up to my left and saw Aj looked at me then to Nick, then back at me.
"I don't know what got into him," I sobbed, "He began raping me and I didn't know what else to do."
She sat next to me and held me close. She said nothing else and she just... held me. I grabbed her shirt and pulled it in to sob into. The same door she came into opened back up, "Aj?"
"Go away! Leave!" she instructed and the door closed back up.
She began humming something that I remember her humming to me when I was younger. She sang it to me when I was sick or when I couldn't get to sleep. After a moment or so, I began singing along, "I will never leave you, my baby. I will never leave you, don't cry," I sung in sadness.
"I will always be at your side," she continued, "Always look up to me and you will never fear. I will always guide you, my baby, to the light. I will never leave you my sweet little thing. I will never leave you, don't cry," she repeated those lyrics over and over again, but it didn't help me any. I just killed a man that raped me. I was raped by the man that I loved. I loved the man that I killed.
In one instant I took away the father of our daughter, "I'm a monster," I told her, "I never killed anyone that I had an emotional connection to."
She just shushed me and continued holding me. When I stopped crying, she stood still holding my. I made it to my feet and she pulled me away from the corpse on the floor and took be out the back door. Dashal was there leaning against the wall to my right, "What's going on?"
Aj kept silent as we walked on. She just held me and I tried to stop crying, but it was impossible. I fell to my knees and my sister fell with me, "We have to keep moving," she told me and kissed the top of my head.
"I just want to be left alone," I told her, "Leave me be... please..."
"As you wish..." she lifted away from me, "Dashal... c'mon, we have to get you to the docks."
"What about AB?"
"She wants to be left alone and alone she shall be for this current bracket of time," Aj placed a hand on my shoulder and took it off a few seconds later.
"Okay..."
-Aj-
We walked in silence until we hit the major road of Ponyille, "Care to tell me what happened back there?" Dashal pulled on my shoulder and caused me to stop.
A guard pony walked by and I stopped him, "I need a clean up crew at the Miakio house."
"What happened to AB?" he asked.
"Just send a crew over there and assess the scene. Take Twilight with you. She needs to talk to AB."
"What happened?" Dashal asked as the guard flew off.
"Nick's dead," I told her, "Something happened to him and he raped AB. She took out her anger by using her powers to send metal spiked through his chest."
"Did you see it happen?"
"No, but I know my sister and she wouldn't just kill Nick. He raped her and she killed him. She went into survival mode and unlocked her Titan side."
"How do you know all of this?"
"Weren't you there when Kelsar explained to us about the Titans a few months back," she shook her head, "Well, there's one more Titan. The Titan of Metal. She's the one."
"How is that possible?"
"The universe chose her for some reason and it was either allow her to get raped or kill him."
"Why didn't she just keep him alive?"
"Because I would've killed him," I told her.
"Okay, what do we do now? It's the Quads' birthday and I am not gonna miss out on anyone's birthday," she stomped a foot.
"Then go with them. I have to stay behind anyway."
"You're not missing their birthday like you did Jack's!" she shoved me.
I shoved back, "Don't you push me! I don't want to miss their birthday, but my sister just killed her husband and I have to help clean up the mess!"
"I order you to let Twilight fix this mess! You're coming with me!" she shoved me again.
I shoved her back harder and she fell to the ground, "Who are you to be giving me orders? This is my world and I run this show! Not you! You're only Princess because I said so! If I wanted, I could rule this world all by myself! And you, you piece of shit! You would just be m sexual play thing! Everyone would be under my command and will be tormented on a daily basis if I wanted!"
"You're a monster," she told me in fear.
"Maybe that's what this world needs!" I laughed evilly as I looked around, "I've given my life twice for this world! What about me, huh?" I waved my arms around and just began losing my mind. Being a dictator doesn't sound like a bad idea actually, "Why rule if I can't say something and it be fulfilled actually? If there are going to be people that contests judgement, I can kill them all!"
"Aj, calm down!"
"No! I never asked for any of this! I miss my old life when it was a simpler time! I missed the good old days before Zombies wreaked chaos and havoc on my life!" I felt the fire within me begin to stir and swell, "I want to go back to that time!"
"The time before you married me?" Dashal seemed hurt and confused, "Before we adopted Jack and met your mom?"
"Yes! Before any of this shit ever happened! All the creatures on this planet had their time of peace is over! I will become one ruler!"
Dashal hit me as hard as she could in the chin. I fell back and held my jaw. Surprisingly, my kind cleared and I felt like myself again, "What has gotten into you Aj?" Dashal growled.
It was the Shadow part of me. I said all of those things because of it, "It's the Shadow part of me. It's seeping into my mind. I need help," she helped my back up, "You're taking my place and Twilight will take yours. When you get back from your trip of course."
"Will you come with me?"
"Yes I will. I think I just need a little break from everything," she wrapped an arm around my waist and led me toward the docks.
-AB-
I was sitting against a tree when Twilight came up to me. She sat in front of me and just stayed quiet for a few minutes, "I didn't mean to kill him," I whispered loudly enough for her to hear.
"I know AB. It's just, why?"
"We were making love like we do probably more frequently than Aj and Dashal," I smiled and tried to stop my flowing of tears, "He then did something I didn't like and that's when he turned evil. He began raping me and I pleaded for him to stop. I couldn't do anything because e had me pinned. For a split second I thought of sending barbs of metal at him and that's when the pots and pans rolled into barbs and went after him. When I turned around, I saw him dying in front of me. The last thing he said to me was that he was sorry."
"What are you going to do now?"
"I know that there would be criminal charges pressed against me."
"I wrote the laws and the laws in the codex state that one can kill in times of self defense. There will be no charges against you."
"Then why do I feel so bad about killing him?"
"He's the man you've loved for a long time and he's the father of your child."
"What am I going to tell her?"
"Tell her what happened," she suggested, "Always use truth AB. But we can save that for later. Are you okay?"
"Ya, I'm fine. I think two hours of crying got me over the first hump. The next step is the grief," I told her.
"Then let's go. I'm hungry; are you?"
"Yeah, I'll just eat later Twilight," I stood with her and she gasped, "What? Do I have something in my hair," I ran my hands through my hair and felt nothing.
"No," she walked up to me and lifted the hem of my shirt and lowered the top of my pants a little, "Look..."
She took a step back as I looked. What I saw really scared me. I saw a dark grey apple shape with the black letters 'Fe' in the middle of it, "My Cutie Mark changed?"
"This is a first," she said and covered her mouth with one hand and placed the other on her hip, "I've never known for some one to have their Cutie Mark change like this."
"This is so weird," I told her and covered my Cutie Mark back up.
"I've read books about how some people and ponies don't get their Mutie Marks until they're grown; but to have it changed is something completely different. Okay, think of metal and try to do something with that."
I closed my eyes and expanded my mind as far as I could possibly go and focused on the metal. I presswd my palms together to help me clear my mind. When I did, it was like I saw the whole space around me with my eyes closed. But there was something different. Everything was in differing shades of blue. I saw white dots that my senses picked up as metal.
I focused in pulling them out of the ground and a few seconds later I opened my eyes and they shot out of the ground. Differing colors of metal came springing up; Silver, Gold, and Bronze. I kept them levitating for as long as possible before I got dizzy and I was forced to let go of the metals. They fell to the ground and I faltered a little.
"I want to study you with the other Princess Twilight if you don't mind."
"I don't. I would love to find out more about my powers."
-Jack-
"C'mon you guys, get on the ship," I told my children. They were flying above my head.
Rowdy landed first and trotted over to me, "I don't know why we have to take a boat when we can fly."
"It's because the winds are dangerous and I don't want any of you harmed," I said as the rest landed.
"You shouldn't worry about us mom," Midnight rubbed herself against me.
"Obviously you don't know the stress being a parent has on me," I nuzzled her back.
"Huh," my moms walked on board, "I wonder where I have heard that before," Aj was being a smartass, "Oh yeah, didn't I sat that to you when you were that age?"
"Oh shut up mom," I blushed a little out of embarrassment, "I was young and dumb then."
"Still are," she rustled my mane as she passed.
"You're an ass mom," I snorted.
"It's what I love about her," Dashal pinched the blonde's ass and she yelped in surprise, "A nice and tight ass."
"Oh yeah?" Aj held her wife and the cuddled.
"Okay, okay, enough with the loving and the kissing and the mushiness," Kirion landed on the deck, "My heart can take it. Why are you here anyway Aj?"
"I just need a break is all," she shrugged, "I tried taking one a long time ago. Before Jack was born and I had to go to war. Just when I was getting started."
"And right after you kicked a couple humans through a wall."
"They were hurting my feet. What else was I supposed to do?"
"Uh, let them do their job."
"Princesses, wait!" we all looked at the docks and saw Kelsar with a small bag on her shoulder as she quickly walked over to us, "I'm coming with you."
"No," Aj protested, "We need a Titan here just in case something bad happens."
"Hinoto's here."
"No I'm not," he stuck his head out of the window in the wall of the captain's quarters, "I tagged along because as Guard Head, I have a duty to the Princesses," his head disappeared into the window and a second later he walked out of the door in front, "I must guard these lovely ladies at all times. I'm so good at my job, they don't even know that I'm in close enough range to hear them fucking each other."
"Pervert!" Aj socked him in the upper arm.
"What? I can't help the fact that you two have wonderful sex music," he rolled his eyes. Before Aj could punch him again he took a step back, "Just kidding. When I hear it, I leave. I'm just kiddin' Aj. No need for violence."
As he spoke, Zilliphia walked up to him, "Um, sorry to interrupt," she spoke in a small voice like Flutters used to, "But, um, uh..."
"Z, no need to be afraid," Hinoto tried to calm her, "We are all friends here."
"Well, uh, I just wanted to let everyone know that the Captain plans on setting sail in a few minutes."
"Thanks love. Where's your parents?"
"They don't like sailing much, so they've decided to stay behind and my brothers are just busy building a new nest for themselves."
"Okay," he rolled his eyes before planting a kiss on her nose. Her silver eyes danced in the sunlight as she giggled.
"C'mon Junebug, we gotta get settle before the ship leaves," I heard the voice of Granny Smith coming closer.
I saw her on the back of Jewel who by now got used to her constant old lady abuse, "Yes Granny," he sighed as he walked on board with a bag strapped to his back, "I don't know how your family can deal with you."
"I'm old, so I can say and do whatever I want. I'm over a hundred and thirty five years old, so I don't give a damn."
"You should," Jewel laid down next to her.
"Stay out of it Sydney."
"My name is Jewel, Granny."
"Oh shut up heifer! If I wanted your opinion, I'd five into ya," she smacked him on the flank with her cane.
"Don't worry about her. Just ignore her. We do,"Aj snickered.
"I'll bury y'all alive and dance on your grave," Granny Smith snapped, "Always treatin' me like I'm the problem."
"Why are you here anyway Granny Smith?" I asked her.
"Because y'all need to have someone with common sense on this trip."
"Granny," Aj rubbed her temples, "If you're gonna be here, please be nice."
"What do you mean by that double D?"
Aj hugged her chest and her eyes saddened a little bit, "Be a lady for once."
"I am a lady!" Granny Smith sat down on a small barrel.
"A nice lady."
"I amm fuckin' nice."
"This is gonna be a long trip," Dashal walked to the side of the boat with Aj's hand intertwined at the fingers.
-Apple-
I laid in bed with thoughts of Blu in my mind and his jacket on hugged tight against my chest. His scent reminded me of all the good times we shared. The picnics, the late nights talking, helping out at the retirement home... the love making. Now he's gone and there's a large hole in my heart. For ten years, I've grieved over the loss of Blu. I curled into a ball and cried. Every time I inhaled, I smelled the sweet smell of cherry soda. It was his favorite drink.
"Malady?" my assistant came in. Aj had her assigned to be so after my ninety-sixth birthday, "Is everything alright?"
"No," I groaned, "I miss him so much."
"I know you do."
"Can you song 'Soft Kitty' for me?"
"That song is only for when you're sick."
"Depressed and grieving is a type of sick."
She sighed and sat on the bed in front of me, "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Soft kitty, sleepy kitty. Purr, purr, purr."
I smiled a little, "Okay, I feel a little better," I propped myself up on my left shoulder, "Thank you."
"You're welcome Apple."
"So, do you have a boyfriend yet?"
"I'm only eighteen Apple and there's not a lot of human guys out there for me to make a decision."
"You should find one. I think it might be good for you."
"Momma Apple! Momma Apple!" the sound of Midnight Shimmer coming into the room.
"Yes Midnight?"
"Arrow won't stop bothering me," she whined.
Arrow came flying in, "I am not," he nudged her, "You're such a Flake."
"Yeah? How so?"
"On minute you're nice to me and the next you're an ass."
"At least I'm not a Snow Flake like somepony we know."
"Lumanite isn't a Snow Flake."
"You two should stop fighting. It's not a healthy thing for you to do."
