I slowly set the book down as I looked over at the door to see that the door in the other room was slowly opening. I quickly rushed over to the closet and slowly closed the door as I held a small almost unnoticeable string that was invisible to the naked eye. Leaving the closet open at a small crack I heard movement in the next room over as I looked through the small crack. After a few minutes, the door to the bedroom opened as my eyes widened at what I saw... from what I remember from what mom told me she had a cousin that wasn't as nice as she was...

more like the exact opposite... he seemed to be searching the rooms with narrowed eyes as he walked over to the bed and picked up the book with his magic and gave it a look of disgust. He proceeded to throw the book onto the bed as I could just barely hear him muttering. "... what is... hiding..." he looked towards the window before his eyes looked at the closet doors as I barely held in a gasp. He began to approach the closet door as I quickly pulled the string but found it was stuck. My eyes widened as I began pulling it with more and more force and I could see his horn lit up with his magic out of the corner of my eye when I almost fell backward from the force of the pull as loud crashes sounded in the main room.

I watched him rush out of the room with wide eyes as I quickly got out of the closet and slid under the bed and watched with fear as my uncle rushed into the room and eyed the open closet with rage. I began to hear him curse that would make mom use a stitch spell on his mouth before he froze where he was standing... and I watched with great fear as his head slowly turned towards the bed. His face got a sinister grin etched onto it as his eyes looked much like...

I began to shake as memories went in and out of my head as I switched from memories to the real world in flashes... every time it came back to the real world it had taken another step closer and closer... and I looked away and clenched my eyes to hopefully stop the flashbacks and to brace myself... "Blueblood!" my body tensed as I recognized the angry tone of mom. I opened my eyes and found uncle was now looking towards mom with fear in his eyes.

"w-why hello cousin." I heard him stammer out in a stutter.

"what are you doing in my room Blueblood?"

"j-just trying to find a certain book," he said as if he rehearsed it and I could see mom scowl at his answer.

"then may I ask why some of my dishes are on the floor? Why my closet was open when I had closed it when I left?" uncle was starting to sweat as he did his best to not look mom in the eyes. "and the fact I told you to never come into my room ever again?!" uncle remained quiet as I heard mom sigh and she seemed to... contemplate... something... I need to thank mom for giving be vocabulary lessons. "just leave Blueblood before I curse you to never find true love..." uncle took moms words quickly and rushed out of the bedroom. I would have moved out from under the bed had I not then heard another voice after I heard uncle yell.

"out of my way peasant!" before soon after...

"may I ask just why he was snooping in your room?" mom sighed as she turned around after using her magic to close the closet.

"I have no idea... I'm sorry for ruining our date Shining."

"it's alright... I would rush back to if you had to put up a ward to alert you if he was snooping around." I saw Shining Armor through the doorway as he sat down on the couch with mom. "it was a great date regardless of you coming back here to kick him out." I heard mom giggle as I watched her snuggle up with Shining Armor.

"I think... I think I have an answer for your earlier offer. I think it would be fun to watch over your sister." I watched Shining Armor have a face full of glee as I saw him relax slightly.

"thank you... you have no idea how important this was for me to ask you this!" I heard mom giggle once more.

"I'm guessing she's been quite a problem recently?" mom then asked.

"her magic has been going out of control at random lately... her magic had almost exploded the house just this morning." I watched as mom get a concerned look on her face. "we were able to get it under control... but mom is already thinking of having her apply for Princess Celestia's magic kindergarten when she comes of age."

"already?"

"shes worried about her standing with how her magic is reacting." Shining Armor spoke. "shes worried her magic might harm some of our neighbors at some point and ruin our standing."

"your standing?!" I heard mom nearly yell. "shes family?! And shes worried about standing?!"

"it's our standing that's preventing mom and dad from accepting betrothal contracts for both me and Twilight... due to the votes we hold we have no need of them and are not expected to accept them... with my sisters magic acting up..." he trailed off as he looked away from mom.

"she risks her causing an incident that would drag your family name through the mud..." Shining Armor nodded in response.

"then that confirms it... I'll it." I heard mom say with conviction in her tone.
