I DO NOT OWN MLP OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS, EXCEPT FOR MY AWESOME OC. PLZ REVIEW. TY.

News of the terrifying monster that attacked the ponies and that Princess Twilight fought off on her own spread quickly. Almost immediately all the pony disappearances where blamed on this terrifying monster, and sadly most of them where true.

Knight sat in his tent meditating, something Twilight said might help him stay in control of himself, meditate on something positive meanwhile she researched all sorts of books and scrolls to see if she can find a way to help, a way to cure or contain the beast within him.

As far as she knew, there is nothing that can help, and it wasn't her fault, Knight still hadn't confessed to her everything about himself, he knows she saved him but the curse inside him goes so much farther than anything Equestria would know, it goes beyond this world but he knows if he tells her she definitely won't believe him.

For the Equestrian police the news of this monster in the woods was the lead they needed, before they could not figure out what was causing the disappearances, and with the report of the two ponies who escaped thanks to the help of Twilight, they sadly had to report that due to the nature of what they described, all the missing ponies are to be pronounced dead.

Soon enough the police began to call in all of its officer as well as request many soldiers from the royal guard to unite with them and make a thorough sweep of the forest, if they find the monster their mission was to kill it and keep their citizens safe. Once word got out many had volunteered to join, some wanting revenge, other who were hunters where just hoping to get a trophy of the rare beast. The hunt would begin in a week, right now there were preparations being made for funerals, many, many funerals.

A mass funeral was held in Canterlot and Ponyville, many pony folk had lost a family member or a friend to this beast. While Twilight was regarded as a hero for saving two ponies and repelling the monster, she felt anything but heroic, she knows this is a tragedy on both sides, one side in pain for the loss of a loved one and the other side in agony for his uncontrollable monster that makes him take the lives of the innocent. She shed tears of sadness for both sides of this turmoil.

However she kept Knights secret, she knew it was not Knight, the wolf who loved books and pulling pranks that killed these ponies, but the darkness within him that would, she had to help him, she had to find a way for him to be able to live his own life, instead of a life in hiding and death.

As the funerals ended she threw herself into days of more research, she went through her books, Celestias books, the books at the castle of the two sisters, every library she thought may help, but she found nothing. Within this time Knight had hope, since the day she stopped him from killing again and she promised to save him, he had hope, and every night when the beast would want to take over it was that hope that he held on to so tightly that would stop him from changing and killing.


One morning days later Twilight found him again on the rooftop that they so often met on, she looked tired, exhausted and frustrated, she could not find anything and she had to tell him. It broke her heart to see him smile as he saw her, he ran up to her and picked her up in a hug, one which she returned.

"I'm glad to see you Twilight, though I'm sure your mane has seen better days, and the bags under your eyes.. if it's a fashion statement then I'm sorry but I don't think it will take," he says grinning.

"Oh shush.." she says playfully hitting his shoulder with her hoof, which kind of hurt, her, he is freakishly hard, "Ow.." she said holding her hoof.

He chuckled as she massaged her hoof, and she smiled at him, but then she smiled at him sadly," Knight.. there is something I have to tell you," she says feeling her heart break already.

He seemed really happy though, "Wait first I have to tell you something," he says with his tail wagging.

"I have been doing what you have said and every night I meditate on something good, I have lost control a few times but only for a short while because of the meditation," he says with a grin, he hopes to make her proud.

She smiles at this, "That's great, whatever it is that you are meditating on must be something great then," she says feeling a bit of hope that maybe not all is lost.

"Well, I meditate on you.. and the fact that you are looking into a way to help me," he says happily which in turn shatters her hope. Her ears droop as her smile fades, something that did not go unnoticed.

"What is it? You are still helping me? Right?" he says keeping his smile.

"Knight.. I have looked everywhere," she says not able to look him in the eye, "I have tried everything, spoken to anyone who might know, even Princess Celestia... I haven't found anything," she says looking down.

Knights smile slowly faded away, his ears drooped as his heart sank, the hope the he so desperately held onto shattered.

"You.. can't do anything?" he said softly.

She slowly shook her head, tears fell as she cried, she wasn't giving up but there was nothing she could do to help.

Knight smiled at her, she was crying for him, in all the time he has been alive here, no one cried for him.

He puts a paw on her head and pets her softly, "Thank you..for trying," he said as he put on a brave face, but deep inside he was scared, he was broken, he had no more hope. He then got up and started to walk away, Twilight looked up only to see him disappear over the side of the building.

"I'm sorry," she sobbed, as far as she knew she had failed her promise to him.


She roamed in her castle library quietly, she had a book she read a hundred times now about magical powers and curses. Her friends watched her from the library door, they had not seen her in quite some time and had become worried. Only when she sat down at a table and heard her sniffle did they finally determine that something was definitely wrong.

"Twilight darling, whatever is the matter dear?" Rarity said sitting next to her rubbing her back as she gave her tissues.

"Yea, we haven't seen you in days which is normal sometimes because we just assume you're being an egghead but this is clearly not egghead business," Rainbow Dash says zipping over to her other side.

Twilight just looked at her book sadly not sure of how to tell her friends about this problem, some of them have lost friends to the beast as well.. she does't know if they would help her, or chase after him.

"Hey now sugar cube, yuh know wer' always here for yuh, but yuh gotta let us know what it is that has yuh so down," Applejack says as she sits across from her.

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were trying their best to smile for her and be supportive but after the funerals, they both felt too sad deep inside to be able to say anything.

"Thank you girls.. but this is something I don't think I can fix," she says putting her book down.

"Oh darling, surely there must be something we can do for you?" Rarity asked.

"We've been in plenty of pickles before, yuh know yuh can trust us to help yuh through it all," Apple Jack tells her.

Twilight smiles at them, they're right, every problem they have ever had they solved together, she just hopes they will understand.

She sighs, "Girls, come with me," she says as she leads them through the castle into and underground room. There she casts a spell so no one outside of them can hear.

"Ooookay, what's with all the secrecy and scary basement Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"Must be pretty darn serious if yuh going through this much trouble," Apple Jack says as other nod, Twilight meanwhile tries to think of the words to say to them.

"Twilight dear.. what is this about?" Rarity asks concerned for her friend.

Twilight takes a deep breath before she looks at her friends, "What I am going to tell you is of the highest importance, this knowledge cannot leave this room.. i beg of you that it does not leave this room, I trust all of you and I want you to help me, what I say may change your opinion of me, you might hate me for it.. but I beg you to please try to understand, and please, please help me," she says pleading to her friends.

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy with their kind hearts and immense love for their friends nod as do the other three after a moment of hearing Twilight's words, though they are scared of whatever she is going to say.

"About all the deaths and the monster I fought," she says," I-"

"You found it! What are we waiting for lets go get rid of it!" Rainbow Dash yelled ready to go destroy this monster.

"No!" Twilight yelled, "Rainbow Dash please, before you do anything, all of you, please listen to everything I have to say," Twilight says to them all, Rainbow Dash quiets down and listens.

Twilight then tells them of her first encounter with Knight, how he always ran away, and how over time, she got him to talk smile and laugh with books and stories, and how strange it was that he always left before the sun went down. She then told them of how she discovered what he looked like and how different he was, but he was kind, so kind and sweet and he loved reading books and playing pranks, laughing and surprisingly getting petted. She told them of how his biggest wish is to just have friends. Something they all smiled at and enjoyed to hear, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy already took a liking to him.

Then she told them of the day where he stayed really late and took off in a hurry, and how she chased after him, how she lost him in the forest and then heard the two ponies running for their lives from a great beast. She told them how she saved them and when she finally got a look at the beast she realized it was Knight, he was the monster, and they all paled at hearing this.

She told them of how they fought, and when Knight had her pinned and was ready to kill her, how her words of friendship stopped him, she told him how he cried and how he was in agony that this monster within him made him commit so many sins, it made him kill so much and destroy so much, how he wanted to die, to be locked away in tartarus so he couldn't hurt anyone anymore. She told them of how together they fought to keep him caged up until the morning when he would regain control.

"I promised him I would help, I told him of ways he might be able to contain himself, and he has made great progress..but I haven't made any at all.. the only thing that was holding him together and keeping him from becoming the monster was the hope that I could help him," she says as she starts sobbing, "But I can't! I can't find anything to help him, I can't find a single clue or anything to even start helping him! I can't remove his curse!" she yells in tears as the other girls silently cry for them.

Rainbow Dash was furious, but she knows it isn't his fault, she grits her teeth as she too feels powerless to help the wolf.

Fluttershy sobs with Twilight," He doesn't want to hurt anyone.. but he can't stop himself.." she says feeling so sad for the wolf in agony.

Rarity hugs Twilight as she sheds her own tears, Apple Jacks tilts her hat as she silently cried, how cruel can fate be to this poor soul.

"Tell him that I'm his friend!" Pinkie yells, surprising the others. She had tears in her eyes, "I have lost friends to the monster, but he isn't a monster! He is just scared and alone,So I'll be his friend!" she says with a determined teary face.

"M-me too," Flutteryshy says, "He just needs more friends so he can hope more, he just needs help and I want to help him," she says determined as well.

"A friend of yours is a friend of mine, and I will never abandon a friend in need!" Rainbow Dash say slamming her hooves together.

"It just ain't right to leave that poor soul all alone, I'm ready ta help in any way I can," Apple Jack says wiping away a tear and smiling at Twilight.

"Even if it's just a tiny bit we can offer to help, we are ready to give it," Rarity says wiping away her own tears.

Twilight smiles as her own tears keep flowing, she couldn't ask for better friends, "Thank you girls.. thank you," she says as they all come together in a hug.


Knight sat by the river near his tent. He had lost hope, at his paws he had all sorts of things, from spears, to swords to some explosives. He picked up a sword and aimed it at his chest. He stared at the moon until he felt that evil urge within him again.

The quiet forest was interrupted by the sound of a sword piercing flesh, and blood splattering on the floor.
