I DO NOT OWN MLP OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS, I ONLY OWN MY OWN OC. PLEASE REVIEW. TY.

His life started a long time ago on a different world, many different worlds. He has wandered this land of Equestria on this new world, so many things have happened so many things he has seen, but his life is still empty.

Haunted by his deeds, by his past he has lurked in the darkness for a long time and he feels no hope for the future. Walking through the forest he has come to know as the Everfree forest, he hides himself from the rest of the world, but every now and then he comes near to the big and life filled city of Canterlot, he enjoys watching the ponies live their lives, he imagines himself in their hooves and dreams of one day being able to speak to someone and call them friend.

He wears a large black cloak as he sneaks into the city, he moves silently through the alleys and darkest corners of the city. Making sure to sneak past open windows and over any pony he sees walking the same alleys he makes his way to his favorite spot, the town square in Canterlot avenue, it is always bustling with life, vendors sell their wares, ponies muse about and interact with one another and in the middle a large beautiful fountain that attracts many to sit by it on dates and meeting spots.

He jumps up to the roof of a building that has been his favorite spot to pony watch and to also pull pranks. Mostly harmless the only prank he pulls here where he can watch what happens and still be hidden is to throw tiny pebbles at unsuspecting ponies. He does this a lot when he is here, sometimes the ponies blame each other and start fights, some have realized it is him and have yelled and chased him off at times. He tries to enjoy as much of it as he can, a bittersweet joy of interacting with another being though the pony he pranks does not realize this. He does this maybe once or twice a week, but he always make sure to leave hours before the sun sets, he has committed many sins and in the dark of the night they reveal themselves. The moon has been dark and unforgiving for the past thousand years but recently it has started to shine brightly.

He fears the night, he fears what he becomes and what he does, so before the sun sets, he runs as deep into the forest as he can so no one would have to suffer with him. Not all avoid the forest at night, many monster hunters have ventured deep into the forest to kill their target, whether it be for fame, money or revenge, and recently there have been growing rumors of an undying monster that has killed many creatures, regardless if it is pony or monster, a creature that is pitch black with eyes as red as blood and a soul as cold as the pits of Tartarus. This is not the first time that these rumors have come about, over the centuries rumors of this kind pop up from time to time and again they are starting.


In the morning he puts on a cloak as he leaves a nearby river that flows with blood freshly washed off his body. He shakes not out of cold but out of regret and fear, as he walks forward tears hit the ground as he regrets having taken another life, consumed by sadness and self hatred he walks to the city to attempt to forget the prior night.

Again as before he sits on his favorite roof top and throws pebbles, he then spots a new target, one he recognizes as the alicorn Twilight Sparkle, the newest princess of Equestria. Should he throw a pebble at her, usually his only targets common pony and they already get mad easy enough, though whenever he throws some at the nobles he gets a really good laugh out of their outrage, he has never thrown a pebble at a princess though. He debates whether he should or not, she would probably not even realize it since she is walking with a book in front of her face, well why not, he grins as he throws the pebble hitting her flank and directly on her cutie mark. She eeps in surprise and turns to see the offending pebble. She looks around suspiciously trying to find the source, the cloaked figure smiles, she does not seem angry as she looks around, her confused face is cute and makes him chuckle. Soon enough she gives up and turns away back into her book and walking away.

He decides to see how far he can take this, so while she becomes engrossed in her book again he throws another pebble hitting the same spot again.

"Aha!" she yells as she jumps around to see who did it, the center is so busy no one other than those who are admiring her look at her. She frowns slightly as she looks down at the new pebble. She looks around suspiciously again as she turns and starts reading her book again. Once again he throws a rock and just before it hits her flank it is caught in her purple magic and she turns quickly to see where it came from. She then sees him on top of the building and to his surprise she smiles at him, her horn glows as she teleports up there next to him holding the three pebbles.

"Hi there, I believe these are yours?" she says grinning at him, he quickly backs up making sure his cloak covers his face and body and says nothing.

"Hello? I am Twilight Sparkle, who are you?" she asks kindly as he only backs away.

"Are you ok?" she asks stepping forward causing him to back up more, he then looks at the sky and sees the sun is very low, he jumps off the roof into the darkness of the alley and runs off.

"Wait!" she says concerned, "Who was that?" she asks herself as she looks into the alley where he had disappeared.

He hides deep in the forest making sure that he covered his trail and was not followed. He sees the sun set and fear instantly kicks in, he just hopes no one enters the forest this night. He awakes and finds himself at the river again, blood flows down off his body, his eyes tear up and he cries in agony of another sin he has committed. For the next few days he avoided the city, he would sit in a worn out tent in the forest, his only companion would be a stuffed unicorn plushie who he has named Fluffers. He cuddles it tightly as his heart is overwhelmed by sadness and self hatred.


As the sun rises the next morning he sneaks into the city once more, he does his usual routine of sneaking past everyone until he gets to his favorite spot. The hours pass by as he pony watches or throws pebbles. He then spots her again, and again she is deep into a book, he looks at a pebble and thinks about throwing it. He remembers the way she smiled at him, no one has ever smiled at him before.. he sighs sadly as he looks away from the pebble, she seemed friendly but friends are forbidden to him.

"Hi again," a voice startles him as his jumps up and backs away from the source.

"I'm sorry I didn't meant to startle you," Twilight says smiling apologetically.

He starts back away, why is she here, has she been watching for him, maybe trying to capture him and arrest him for throwing pebbles at her, he goes to the side of the building ready to jump into the alley.

"Please wait!" she calls out to him, "I don't mean you any harm, please don't run," she says softly. His cloak still hides him well as he turns to see her, if she is not here to arrest him then what does she want?

"I have asked around about you," she says smiling, "some ponies have seen you on this roof so I decided to wait for you, do you have a name?" she asks him as he wonders why she is here. He nods to her question but does not say anything. She then sits there waiting for him to say something.

"Umm.. Can you speak?" she asks as he again only nods, she seems to try and think of something to say, she then looks down at the square, "It is a really nice view from here, I bet that is why you come to this spot," she says looking down at the others.

He slowly backs away from the edge and goes back to his spot on the roof, she decides to sit a but closer to him but he scoots away a bit. She looks at him, he is large by comparison, his cloak is actually many cloaks sewn together, most likely a stallion but he is larger than any stallion she has ever seen. She just wishes he would talk, then she gets an idea, she pops a book out of nowhere and opens it in between them, its a picture book with small words, a children's learning book.

"This book is fun, it is always important to go over the basics, even in reading," she says proudly as he looks over the book, the page was on the letter A with drawings like apple, alicorn, and some other things. Does she think he perhaps does not know how to read or is she really trying to do some basic studying him?

He starts shaking and she notices this and then realizes what he might think, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you," she says quickly.

"Pffft hahaha," the cloaked figure starts laughing, she is the Princess of Friendship but makng friends through studying and books is funny. She smiles at finally having gotten a reaction out of him. He laughs a bit more and finishes in a chuckle.

He doesn't have any friends, well other than his plushi Fulffers, but perhaps maybe he can at least talk to her, even if it is for a bit.

"A, apple, the apple is red," he says reading the first page, his voice is masculine and deep, she smiles at him reading the book. For a few hours they read books together, until they finish they got to a book.

"Here is one of my favorites," she says holding out the book for him to see, on the cover there is a pony with a sword and in the background is a dark monster with red eyes and sharp teeth, "Its about a hero who fights evil monsters that have been attacking the city," she says as he backs away from it.

"Whats wrong?" she asks noticing him back away from the book, "I.." he tries to say as then he sees the sun going down.

"Oh no.." he says seeing the sun disappear from the horizon, he is still in the city, "I'm sorry" he says frightened as he jumps over the building in to the alley and takes off.

"Wait! Whats wrong!?" she yells off as she takes off after him, she flies above the buildings as she sees him run through the alley at amazing speeds, "Wow he is fast," she says as she starts flying faster.

He finally reaches the city walls and starts climbing the walls, once he gets to the top his cloak gets stuck in a crack and Twilight lands in front of him.

"Wait please tell me whats wrong, I can help," she says to him as he struggles with his cloak.

"No please you have to get away from me, you are in danger," he says panicked as he continues to tug on the cloak.

"In danger from what?" she asks getting closer to him.

"Stay away!" he yells s he struggles getting angry.

"Please let me help you," she says to him.

"No one can help me!" he yells as he starts pulling hard on the cloak.

"Let me try, what ever it is I can help you," she pleads worried for her new friend.

"You can't, please just get away!" he begs as the cloak starts ripping slightly.

"Why not!?" she yells wanting to help. Just then he pulls hard and his cloak rips off him causing him to fall forward off the wall onto the ground below.

"Oh no," she says flying down to him and lands in front of him, "Are you okay, are you hur...t" she says slowly realizing what she is looking at as he gets back up.

Two giant paws with large claws hit the floor, slowly standing back up is a huge pitch black wolf, she stares up at him, at his bright red eyes that glow in the dark, his giant white jaws and he has a mane, it is red and white stripped, he has a wolf tail but his hind legs where hoofs, he had pony rear legs and his back had wings, dark as the night and large, he looks down at her. She looks shocked, he then sees himself, his cloak is gone, she can see the monster he is.

"I'm sorry!" he yells as he takes off into the forest next to them.

It takes her a moment to realize he ran off, "Wait please!" she yells but he is already long gone, she will never be able to track him through the forest.

"What was he?" she asks herself curious on this new being, and what was he running from? She had many questions about him, one question was what was his name, she stares into the forest thinking about him, "I hope he comes back soon," she says turning back towards the city as she takes off back over the wall.

Having escaped he runs deep into the forest, already he can feel himself changing, but he is still to close to the city, he runs faster and faster, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, especially Twilight.


He avoided the city for a few weeks, he was hoping that was enough time for Twilight to forget about him. One morning he sneaks into the city again, he sneaks past all the usual areas, and once again he arrives at his favorite spot, his new cloak hid his features well, so it helped hide his shock when on the roof Twilight sat with her books around her. Why is she here, what does she want? He doesn't want to stay to ask, he turns to leave.

"It's a really nice spot up here, I can see why you return to it," she says softly as she turns to him, and again she smiles at him, she doesn't yell or scream for help like others who have seen him before, she smiles.

"I brought more books.. I hope I brought something you like," she says showing the pile of books she brought.

"You.. do not fear me?" he asks still confused by her.

She smiles at him as she stands and walks over to him, "I must admit, I was shocked when I saw you, but you have been really nice, I won't let your appearance make me think any different," she says handing him a book, he slowly reaches out to it, he thinks about if this is a food idea, then he takes the book.

As time passes by they read together, however soon enough Twilight sighs in slight irritation.

"Are you ok?" he asks her as he closes his book.

"I'm sorry it's just that I cannot help but wanting to ask you questions, learn more about your species because I have never heard of anything like what you are," she says to him as she closes the book she had.

"You.. want to study me?" he says not knowing how he feels like that at the moment.

"That sounds very rude but.. yes, I want to know what you are," she says standing up walking over to him.

"I don't think that is a good idea," he says getting up himself, maybe he should leave now.

"I didn't mean to offend you," she says realizing what she is saying, how rude can she be saying something like that, she probably made him feel as if he was a freak to be studied, she felt horrible.

"It's okay.. " he says walking towards the edge to leave for the day.

"Wait, can I ask you just one question?" she says looking up at him.

"What is it?" he asks curious to know what she plans to ask him, perhaps it is about his body and how it is two different creatures, most likely it is something she will want to study.

"Your name? I would like to know what to call you," she asks him surprising him.

"My name is Knight Wolf," he says after a few seconds, then he jumps off the edge of the building into the alley.

"Wait, please Knight, you do not have to go," she says as she leans over the edge to look at him. He however takes off in a run, leaving her to just look at where he was standing moments before, "You do not have to be alone," she says softly.


For a few days Knight returned to his spot and always she was there. At first he thought it was because she wanted to be friends, but everyday she asks more questions about him, he is just something to study to her, so he gave as little information as possible.

"Knight.. why do you hide yourself at night?" she asks since everyday before the sun goes down he runs away from the city.

He looks at her, he knows she's tried following him in the past, he cannot understand why she is trying so hard to understand him, but maybe if he told her the truth she would stop trying to follow him and put herself in danger.

"I.. i'm a monster Twilight, I am too dangerous to be around when the sun sets," he says as he looks at the sun which is starting to look low.

"You're not a monster Knight," she says sweetly to him, "You are just different," she says putting a hoof on his shoulder.

Knight thinks of all the blood he has washed off at the river, "No.. I know what I am, and no part of me is pleasant," he says getting up and starting to leave.

"Knight please, you don't have to be alone, I can help you," she says walking with him.

"Twilight for your own good, please stop following me, I have hurt so many, I don't want to hurt you," he says to her, his eyes seem to almost plead her to do as he says.

"Let me help you Knight, whatever it may be, friends help one another," she says which freezes Knight.

"Friends?" he asks surprised that she actually said that, "We.. are friends?" he says again.

"Of course," she says with a small hop and a giant grin.

Knight feels a warmth in his chest he has never felt before, "Friends.." he says as a small smile starts forming, but then the warmth is chased away by a bitter cold, he looks up, the sun, it is already lowering, he looks at Twilight, no he doesn't want to hurt her he has to get away!

"I'm sorry Twilight, please stay away," he says as he runs into the forest.

"Knight wait!" she yells as she takes off after him.

In the forest two ponies where wandering around.

"See, there's nothing to be worried about Peppy, its just trees and more trees," a brown stallion said to a green pony known as Peppy.

"You know when you said you had an exciting date for us, this is not what I had in mind Open," Peppy says as she walks slowly shaking in fear from her surrounding.

In the distance Knight was running into the forest, the moon was out and he trips as he body moves on its own. "No! I'm too close!" he yells as he starts snarling and clawing at the floor.

Twilight seems to have lost him in the dense forest, she flaps her wings and takes off into the sky to see if she can find him.

Knight roars and yells as his body changes, he was already huge, he was three times bigger than normal stallions and now his body seems to grow more. All the forest creatures sense the arrival of a monster, they all flee the area as quickly as they can,Knight cries as he starts loosing control, "I..dont..want to hurt anyone!" he yells as his fur becomes feral, his claws starts growing long and sharp, his jaws grow even more deadly as he loses his mind and a giant black beast now stands in his place, its red eyes shine through the darkness of the forest.

"Wait, did you hear that?" Peppy says hiding behind Open shaking in fear, Open wasn't any better.

"I sure did, maybe we have had enough excitement for today," he says starting to walk backwards.

The beast roars as it tears through trees and destroys whatever it sees around it, until it stops and sniffs the air, it then grins wickedly as it takes off running into the forest.

"M-m-maybe w-we s-s-s-should go!" Peppy screams as she hears destruction coming towards them.

"G-good idea," Open says as he turns to run.

The beast breaks through the trees roaring as it sees the two terrified ponies now looking up at him, he licks his lips, a delicious meal.

"RUUUN!" Open yells as he dodges the beasts giant jaws that snap at him, the two ponies take off into the forest back towards the city in great fear.

Twilight had heard the roars but it was so loud and echoes so much she could not find its source, "AAAAAAHHHHH!" she hears screams from the forest, somepony's in trouble, she flaps her wings to head in that direction.

The ponies ran under roots and through trees attempting to escape the monster, but it didn't slow it down at all. It roars in enjoyment as it chases its dinner.

Soon the ponies break through the brush and arrive at the castle walls, "Oh no, this isn't where we came from what do we do!" Peppy yells as she looks around frantically.

Open uses his horn and tries to levitate himself and Peppy to the top but he struggles and drops them. Then the beast breaks through the woods breaking trees in half, it grins as it stares at its cornered prey. The two ponies hug each other, this is the end for them. The beast doesn't wait, it pounces at them, jaws wide open to crush them both in his mouth.

Twilight then appears between the ponies and teleports them away to the top of the wall. The ponies still embraced shaking in fear.

"You two hurry and get as far as you can," she tells them as they slowly open their eyes and see that they indeed are not being mauled to death. Then they see who rescued them.

"Princess.. thank you so much," Peppy says as she takes off.

"A million thanks," Open says as he follows.

Twilight looks at the beast down below, she can hear the two ponies arguing and one saying they are breaking up as they ran, the beast looks up at her, it then starts unfolding its massive wings.

She looks surprised, "Knight?" she gasps out, oh no she can not let it get airborne and get over the wall, she doesn't know why he is doing this but she has to stop him. She jumps down and shoots beams fro her horn that wrap around his wings, but the wraps break on contact, she shoots more magical wraps at him but they as before are destroyed as they touch his body, his massive wings expand as he readies to take flight.

"My magic doesn't work!" she says thinking quickly, she then shoots ice from her horn that freezes his wing, but she can tell it wont hold him for long. He roars at her angry for spoiling its fun. She starts shooting more ice at him hoping to hold it back, but he starts moving forward getting even angrier.

Then in one movement he breaks off the ice from his body sending it in all directions, Twilight makes a bubble around her self as the ice flies into it blocking her view. Once it stops she prepares another attack but the beast isn't there anymore, she then hears a rumbling sound above her, she looks up and a giant clawed paw comes down on her. She instinctively put up another bubble with all the magic she could put into it as the paw grabs the bubble that instantly starts to break as it heads down towards the ground.

The beast rams her into the ground causing the earth to shake, her bubble took most of the damage before it broke and his paw falls on her causing her to groan in pain. She has blood coming down her face and her back is bruised, she can feel that one of her ribs is broken as well. She looks up and the giant beast looks down at her, its red eyes stare into her purple ones.

It grins happily, it will feast on her then he will feast on the ponies over the wall, it loves when the ponies scream and beg before death, the fear in their eyes makes him feel alive. It howls in victory then it looks down at her again, but it stops, there is no squirming, no pleading no yelling, and her eyes, there is no fear, no hate.

Twilight looks up at him, this is why he is always alone, this is why he runs away, this is why he calls himself such things as monster and beast. She looks up at him in compassion, she looks up at him as a friend would look to another and see that they are suffering.

"Knight.. you are not alone, ," she says as it stares at her in surprise.

"I understand why you always kept to yourself, why you ran away and hide in the forest, but that is not you, the real you enjoys books, the real you enjoys smiling and pulling pranks and listening to my stories. I know at first I just wanted to study you since you and find out all kinds of things about you, but I was a fool, the only thing that mattered was that you wanted a friend, and I'm here to tell you that I am your friend, no matter what you may look like, no matter where you come from, we are friends," she says smiling happily up at him.

The beast stares down at her, a tear escapes its eye, then it growls and backs up, its starts clawing at itself, "NO!" it yells in a demonic voice, "I AM THE ALPHA!" it roars as it jumps at her again but stops before it it reaches her.

"TWILIGHT RUN!" it was Knights voice, Twilight struggles to get up, "No, I wont abandon you," she says as she musters up what magic she has left.

"PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!" he yells as he and the beast struggle in their minds for control.

"Friends help on another," she says looking at him determined to do whatever she can, though she doesn't know exactly what she can do.

"Twilight," he says sounding tired, "Send me to Tartarus," he says through grit teeth as the beast starts retaking control," SEND ME THERE NOW!" he yells as the beast starts roaring in anger.

Twilight looks at Knight, he has lived in the dark for longer than she even knows, She will not send him from one dark place to another,

"I wont let you suffer alone anymore," she says smiling at him, then with a burst of magic, steel chains erupt from the floor and start entangling the beast,it roars as it starts getting wrapped up, he claws and bites at them breaking some but she keeps bringing more. Soon all his limbs are wrapped and a giant steel cage forms around him, the chains tie themselves to the bar. She looks up at him.

"I'm sorry," she says feeling pain in her heart at having to chain up her friend, "but I will be right here with you," she says gritting her teeth to keep everything in place as the beast kept fighting and breaking bars and chains and she would continue to replace them, the beast and Twilight fight throughout the night in a battle of wills.


Knight wakes up in the morning, he feels something soft under his head, and something on top of his head. As he opens his eyes he sees what it is, Twilight has her hooves under his head acting as a pillow as her head rests on top of his, she is fast asleep. He then remembers last night, he remembers what she said. Another tear forms in his eyes as he smiles and lets himself rest on her hooves.

"Thank you.. Twilight."
