Hey everyone! First of all a happy new year to all who celebrate new years as we enter the new year of 2019! its been a long year and another curse hitting my family every time we go to visit our family members in Baltimore! And by curse I mean we caught the flu! Every time we go there we get the flu and we even made preparations this time to avoid this! Enough of my ranting as I move onto everything else! I was able to type up at least one chapter for several stories its been a while since I updated! Which reminds me to have to get a chapter typed up for the Requester of the story Growing Pains!

Forgive me for my procrastination I just have been unable to properly sit down long enough to type enough for that story to make even a chapter! Also I have a large announcement to make concerning two stories!

Someone had come up and requested to be a Beta and when given the choice he picked AOMFV and I picked between two he had thought he could work with and picked Silent Singer from the two as the other was one I promised I myself would work on!

The name of the beta is Tarnum427!

He sent back a chapter for Silent Singer I decided to post today instead as I wanted to do the reveal on upload day! Don't really have much to say except that I'm going to do my best to type up chapters for stories I've barely updated! Have a happy new year and hope you all made your new years resolutions!

This chapter has been Beta'd and edited by Tarnum427! From what I see he did an excellent job in fixing up this jumbled mess of words and deserves a large amount of credit for it!

WARNING MENTIONS OF SUICIDE

It has been a full month since it all began. I now have the magic suppression above my elbow on my left arm tight enough to where it won't slide down and good enough to where it won't chafe. I couldn't help but think of everything that has happened the past month. Despite me visiting the doctor and this fact was not lost on everybody that I knew and now they were snooping around as to why it was happening... but back to what I was saying despite going to the doctor often Max and his goons did their best to cause me pain just so they could live easier in this town without keeping their anger and need for violence pent up. I welcomed it actually despite the pain I was going through as I already knew I was going to die in the end so why not ensure that others would not end up like I did with them... at least for now anyway...

The doctor noticed the injuries but simply, and thankfully, looked the other way as he gave me pain medication and told me to come in anytime as I was put down for walk-in visits... although he wouldn't say who was the one that put me down for it and who would use their own bits to pay for the extra charge of me coming in without an appointment? I mean the appointments without just walking in were actually free but just walking in... That required a good amount of bits. He couldn't even tell me who put up the account for walk-in appointments, despite the right to know whose money I was wasting...

Now back to my friends' knowledge of me going to the doctor every week. First it was Octavia who noticed and tried to pry a little about why I was going every week... then she got Vinyl involved soon followed by my old friends and Twilight as they tried to find out just why I was going to visit every week. And it got even worse when Octavia stumbled upon the pain medication a little over a week ago which caused them to start to pry even more... and if what I could overhear correctly Twilight had sent a report of these activities of mine after dinner last night... so now I was totally expecting for the princesses themselves to get involved due to the no violence rule that has been implemented for humans.

And I was right the next morning something transpired... I was simply sitting in the living room writing up a new song idea and working it through to make it sound just right when there was a knock on the door. Not knowing what was going to happen I stood up and walked over to the door and opened it in surprise to find princess Celestia standing there with a smile on her face, and with two of her guards. "Good morning Alex... may I come in?" I nodded as I stepped to the side and motioned for her to come in. as she walked in and I noticed her guards wouldn't come in after her I closed the door and walked over to her and tapped on her shoulder to get her attention. I then motioned towards the cup of tea I had been drinking to see if she desired anything to drink. "Yes I believe a batch of tea would serve a good... mood setting for what must be discussed."

Giving a nod, I walked straight into the kitchen and poured the tea I had made, as it could only be made in large bunches, and put it into a teapot which I brought in along with another teacup. Pouring her a cup of tea she blew on it gently before she gave it a small sip and smiled as she used her magic to set it down on the table as I sat down in one of the single chairs. "Now then... you most likely know why I am here correct?" I nodded in confirmation as she gave me a sad frown. "Now then... since you had written down in your information that you were taking no such kind of medication for any permanent injuries... when I received word from Twilight that you were going to the hospital for weekly check ups along with being prescribed with pain medication... it caused several bells to ring in my head that something was wrong. Considering that nopony else has gone to the hospital and all of the towns occupants have been seen to of suffered no injury... there are only a few things that can be happening that would be the cause of this... are you depressed Alex?" I was depressed yes knowing that I wasn't going to live until old age like I originally desired to but if I guessed correctly she was thinking that I was most likely depressed to the point of cutting myself... but why would I take pain medication than?

I simply gave her a nod as she gave me a sigh. "Alex... are you hurting yourself in anyway?" considering what was going on with the three stooges and letting them do what they wish to me... I might as well be so I gave her another nod. "Alex... there is never a reason to hurt yourself to escape depression... the reason I'm being blunt with this is because I was notified by one of your own friends that you despise it when people take the long route in asking their questions. May I ask why you are... doing this to yourself?" I shook my head as she gave a sigh. "Very well... I am glad I stopped by to talk with one of your friends before coming here. Knowing you would be truthful if confronted about something or you would try your best to not answer the questions asked. Alex... despite you not being one of my little ponies I have come to see all humans as my subjects, and knowing what your world was like before you were all brought here makes me want to help you even more so once I heard from Twilight of what was occurring I believe you are depressed but not depressed to the point where you would end your life over said depression. This is why you asked for pain medication, or it could simply be because you take them in an attempt to hide the fact you are hurting yourself. So I must tell you this..."

I motioned for her to continue as I knew what was going to be said would end up changing how things were going to happen the next few days or so. "My little ponies have never experienced... suicide... I have kept them sheltered from all of this despite the events happening all across Equestria. Bringing up the many reasons why others would do the heinous acts of killing themselves would most likely be for many reasons. My student has grown attached to you despite your short amount of time for conversations and the small bursts of meetings that you have with her in random variables. Should this continue Alex... I will be forced to try and find out why this is happening in an attempt to prevent my ponies from finding your dead body... dead from your own doing... please Alex... I know you are a secretive one from what I am told about yourself. Stop this and all will be well... I'll be asking Twilight to keep an eye on you for the next few days when she finds the time to do so and she will find the time to do so with what your roommates have asked of her."

I gave her a look of confusion as I wrote to her my first message of the day. 'What do you mean by that princess?' She simply gave me a smile. "I will allow them to explain... have a good day Alexander." I gave her a small glare as soon as she turned around before leaving my home. My glare softened as I knew my condition was going to be brought to light should anything happen. I would have to warn my tormentors so they would keep themselves occupied somehow else. I could give them blackmail on me that they could hold over me instead to stop them from creating a situation that would reveal my disease.

Although that could cause me even more problems I will leave that for a final decision should nothing else happen that could allow me to convince them. Although now my thoughts were filled with just what the hell she meant by allowing Vinyl and Octavia to explain? I found that this question would be answered as they walked in not long after the thought entered my head. Seeing them walk in I immediately wrote out a response to them. 'What did the princess mean by what you have asked of Twilight?'

"Um... wasn't hoping you would find out this soon to be honest. We only just found out yesterday at what would be happening yesterday." Vinyl spoke surprised at what I had just asked them. "Usually at least one of us is in town to keep an eye on the house but I've been called in as a special guest at a club in Manehattan."

"And I am needed as a replacement for the Canterlot Orchestra. We decided to take the time to get the house looked over and fumigated while we could... and we had completely forgotten about who was staying us so please forget my forgetfulness." she gave me a quick bow of the head.

"So we asked Twilight if she could look over you for a few weeks starting tomorrow morning." Vinyl then spoke.

I wrote a quick response for them, and decided to poke a bit of light-hearted fun as well, 'At least now I know what's going to happen. I'm actually surprised you did not forget about me sooner with how quiet I am.'

That got a chuckle from Octavia and a full blown laughter from Vinyl at the poke towards myself. "Glad to see your understanding bro. Well I got to go pack up! Damn Manehattan clubs don't always have what I need to get the beat dropped." and with that she rushed past me nearly causing me to spin like a cartoon character. Giving her a chuckle I looked towards Octavia who still looked a little bit guilty.

"I still feel horrible forgetting about our newest roommate. Despite all that you have done for us I feel as if we are kicking you out."

'Well you kind of are.'

She gave me a punch to the shoulder. "I despise you for that comment... and feel even more guilty in the progress"

'I feed on your hate... and purr with pleasure from your sadness.'

She gave me a glare before walking away as I chuckled a little bit towards her attitude of my writing. Being around them has allowed me to be more like I was back before I decided to become a near permanent mute. Joking around with friends no matter what happened. I thought back on those times with a sad smile on my face as I realized I was going to die and that there was no one who could help me... I only hope that when I die, it's on my own terms.

Shaking the thoughts from my head for now I walked over and began to pack away what I did not need at the moment and yet found myself with the moon high in the sky and the silent night gracing my ears. Getting ready for bed I lay down on the couch... and closed my eyes.
