hey everypony!

I got requests for a new chapter so I'll stick with it.

I'm going to update the forum thread on UK of equestria, so you ponies can see if I'm forced to stop writing ect.(which could happen because parents don't like forums and think your all weird *sigh*)

Thanks again for the support, this is how I show my adoration to MLP so it's good you guys like it.

SEE YA LATER BRO HOOF!

As the sun crept over the horizon I collapsed onto a cloud and buried myself in it. No one thinks to look in a cloud. Especially one over the everfree forest. The weather Pegasi don't clear the sky here so I don't worry about them.

My last thought before I went to sleep was the rainbow maned mare. I don't know why.

I wake with a start. I instantly know it's not night. I never wake during the day, something woke me up. I hear it then. The flapping of wings and the poof of dissolving cloud as a weather pony kicks it. I realise the sound is close. I have t-. My train of thought is interrupted by the feeling of weightlessness as the cloud around me dissolves. Before the Pegasus can react I spring from the rest of the cloud and take off. Away from the same rainbow maned Pegasus from yesterday. I hear a trianfant "ah ha!" From the mare before I'm straining against the wind. I rarely fly this fast, preferring the silence of stealth. But it is the best feeling ever. I felt faster as I can see the rainbow mare out of the corner of my eye. I then feel the resistance of the sound barrier. I have never performed a "boom" but now seems like the appropriate time. After all, I'll be gone from this town by tomorrow. Adrenaline courses through my veins as the cone fills, the pressure filling the space around me, it begins to sharpen. I see black forming, the steaks of red, so close, I give one final push before 'BOOM!' And then silence. beautiful,silence. I'm flying, the best thing in the world, combined with no noise. Such peace. I then feel a hoof grab my hind leg. Slowing me down. That was it, to ruin something like that for me brought rage to my thoughts. I twisted my body, the air slowing me down rapidly, the rainbow mare shot past. I could hear again. But my anger persisted. This cocky mare would find out why you don't mess with ponies like me.

I hovered In the air as I waited for her to slow down and return. She was panting. I wasnt. I worked for every waking moment. I didn't live any other life. I was the peak of fitness. Why need friends?

When she finally got back she was looking at me with anger. Wait. It was MY turn to be angry. I drew breath. But she beat me to it I guess talking to people every day has its pros. "Ok, I was just going to find you to help you. Because you seemed lonely. But when I find you, you steal MY move? That is NOT cool!" She actually looked pretty livid. For once I decided fighting would be unwise. "Are you talking about the boom? Because once somepony does it. Everyone tries it. Just because I'm able to do it doesn't mean I'm stealing it. And finally I don't need your help." I decided that was enough. So I turned round and made to fly into the everfree forest. "Wait!" Rainbow calls to me "this conversation just got started" "and I'm now ending it" I snapped. "I've done enough talking for the day" the look on her face might have made me laugh had I not been angry at myself for not choosing a more solitary location to sleep. "You've done enough talking?" I sigh she's going to pester me. And I need my sleep. So rather than answer I dive into the forest. I ignore her warnings. Most of the warnings are rubbish. The forest only has the odd monster. I still wouldn't want to live here though. However now it looks like I don't have a choice. before I can decide on a direction I hear a voice from above me "where do you think your going?" She asks.I sigh. Guess she's getting that lesson after all. Slipping into the cover of the dark trees I performed the same routine as last night. "You are foolish following me." I speak so the echo sounds like it's coming behind her. As she turns round I swoop past her, brushing her neck. Then moving off before she can see me. She says into the air "I just wanted to know who you are. I wanted to be your friend." I sighed. There were the occasional lunatic ponies who want to help me. I see it all the time. They never convince the other ponies I'm not dangerous." I don't need a friend." I remain alone to avoid hurt when I'm forced to move on." It wasn't the full truth. But if I say the other ponies won't like me, they go on about "esteem" besides, I don't want society. She keeps glancing around. Another fault of people is that they never try to focus on areas. All I have to do is stay still when her gaze turns in my direction. I've perfected my wing muscles so I can stay afloat with the tips of my wings. "Everyone needs a friend. When you need me I live in a cloud house north of ponyville. " always the same the whole we can help you. Let us be your friend. Before they stab you in the back when the rest come looking. I don't bother with the pain anymore. "I don't need friends. As for my name..." should I tell her? It couldn't hurt. No one around here knew it. "Its silent night. Or Si for short" she nodded then before saying. "Your always welcome. I know your a good pony." I sighed, I hated how deceitful ponies were. They'd do anything to betray you.

As she flew off again I watched her go. Watched her mane glint in the sun... I shook myself. What is wrong with me?

I turn and fly deeper into the forest. Heading for the old castle. I use it sometimes, but timberwolves roam the area. So I usually find other sleeping spots.

After a few minutes of flying the trees clear and I see the ruins. I land at the steps and enter. There's a small library type area that I use. People say this place Is haunted. Just another mean part of society. Lying. As I settle down I think of the mares words." You need a friend" I always wondered what it was like to have a friend.

I open my eyes. Dusk. My dawn. I slowly get up and stretch. I'm slightly tired after my rude awakening but I need to get along. Thiefs, although uncommon in ponyville, operate at this time. The guards all think they're crazy when they talk about somepony with red eyes coming out of the shadows.

I look down from the top of the house, I see a pony looking around as he tries to pick the lock of a house. I smile, I'm going to have some fun with this one. I swoop down as he opens the door. I'm lucky, he leaves it open. Most of them do, I can remain stealthy. I role as I hit the ground to avoid the sounds of hooves on floor. I role behind a sofa, takeing the time to assess the lighting of the rooms. He's left the lights off. Even better. I creep towards the stairs before I hear the thief coming down. Carrying a bag of bits, I stay still over him as he trots down the stairs my hovering technique has saved my silence countless times. Plus you have no idea how many times people forget to look up. I then plan how to get him. I spot a length of Rope on his belt. When he passes under me I dip down and grab the rope. Wrapping it around his hoof. As he turns round I see his pupils shrink " you. I-I thought you were a -ahh!" He finishes as I pull him off his feet. I tie the rope to a peg in the roof I spotted earlier. I give him the trademark red gaze as he tries to see the rest of me.

I know the guards come to the screams now. They know the routine. It annoys me how they don't bother to do their jobs. Then again I haven't worked an honest job in my life this one feels right though.

I leave through the door and onto a roof, careful to make sure no one sees me. I then see a purple unicorn approaching the house. I frown. She'd been appearing at the thievery scenes. I hear her interrogating the pony thief. I bite my lip. I've drawn too much attention. First the rainbow mare. Now this one.

Before I leave though she closes her eyes uses some form of magic. Dread fills me as she opens her eyes and looks straight at me. Her eyes narrow. I Sprint then, using the roofs as cover. I see a flash in front of me as the mare appears at the edge of the roof shouting "stop!" I don't even bother slowing. I simply flip over her. I love to see the surprise in their faces as I come face to face with them. The flip carries me over her and I use my wings to dive into an alleyway between the houses. I have to manoeuvre my wings quickly to avoid crashing. Luckily I practiced this as well.

As I sped down the ally I saw the purple mare in front of me. Now a shield blocking my path. One thing unicorns and pegasi rely on to much are their extra abilities. I keep flying towards the barrier. Knowing that a distraction would break the shield. Just as I reach the shield I glare at her. My piercing gaze enough to weaken the shield. I break the rest of it.

I soar back into the forest. My heart pounding and worry filling me. That had been close. I've never been caught before. And I dread what would happen if I did.

I neared the fortress as dawn came. I eat the plants I recognise as safe on way. It isn't filling. But a colt without money learns to do without filling meals.

I lie in the library, thinking about what I should do. I'm nearly out of towns. In fact. This is my last town. If I get thrown out of this one I'd be completely alone. Wait. That doesn't bother me . What bothers me is that I would be a nobody. Here, I could help ponies. And feel wanted. Out there. I wouldn't be anything I wouldn't be able to be need other ponies to I feel the adrenaline you get after avoiding a pony. I fell into an uneasy sleep.

Pain. Hurt. Agony. I scream. And scream. Before pulling myself together. I had shocked the timberwolf. The only reason I'm alive. They're everywhere. They fill the route, now! I dive out the window. The pain is too much to handle darkness creeping into my vision. I try to keep it in but I sob. It's fatal. I know. The blood dripping to ground is like an hourglass to me. Counting my life away.*drip* *drip*

I need help.*drip*

I find the house. By now in openly crying. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I fall onto the cloud. My legs buckle. I can't move. I'm so close. But I can't reach my only hope.

"Help!" I sob. For once wishing it was day.

I don't faint. I see as if it were an old film black and white. The mare leaves her house. Saying words. Looking frantic. I note how the clouds around me are red. I watch as she rips the cloud I'm on out of the rest. Then fans me indoors. The pain is excruciating, I sob again. I don't care if she's listening. I'm scared.

She gently strokes my mane as she pours a liquid down my throat. All I can do is sob. It hurts too much to do anything else. I glance over her and see a mirror. I see it then. The long red gash across my chest. I close my eyes. "G-get a u-uni-corn" I use the last of my breath as I descend into unconsciousness. The last thing I see is her. Such beautiful eyes.

I feel consciousness return to me. I hope I was dreaming. Please be that I am still in my life of solitude. Away from others. Please. I open my eyes. And see magenta ones staring back. No. It would happen again. I go to jump for a door. Before realising I was tied to a table. Reason leaves me then. I can't be trapped. I feel my breathing increase and a fight against the restraints. "Si, please be still." The Rainbow maned Pegasus says. They would do stuff to me. I know it. I had to be free. I didn't listen. Until she placed a hoof on my chest. I felt myself calm down. If they wanted to hurt me I would be dead by now. "Si, twilight said she wanted to talk to you. I know you're scared of other ponies. That's obvious. Just hear us out though.

The mare who chased me last night entered then. I tensed. She smiled. I couldn't have cared if she'd come in with confetti and cake. I didn't trust them. Not one bit.

"I just wanted to know why you have been catching thieves. And haven't been seen in ponyville" I glare at her hatred in my eyes. She looks nervously around, people can rarely hold a stare with me " you have no right to hold me. And if you don't let me go. You will regret it." "Thats no way to talk to friends!" I laugh then. She thinks she's my friend? " I don't even know your name." She looks directly at me before saying with pride. "Rainbow Dash fastest flyer in equestria." She's so confident. I like how she actually looks me in the eye. My anger fills me again though " well Rainbow Dash. Would you let me go before you wake up after a few hours with a headache!" I'd been in this situation once. The trick was to use your wings to loosen the rest of the straps. I'd already freed my wings. I'd be away in no time. But if I run. I'd have to leave. Maybe if I just free myself. It should give me some power in this conversation. Maybe I could stay then...

"There's no need to threaten us. You don't have to fight us you know, just answer our questions and we can help you. You don't have to hide from ponies you know." I laugh at that. "I don't want to be In society. It's betrayed me too many times." Twilight looked at me, she didn't hold my gaze for long. "Well. Could you at least tell us why your in ponyville. Why do you fight for us, we give you nothing." I think over that.. Why? I don't really think about it." I guess... I just want to help a fellow pony. I'm doing what feels right to me. I've been able to move silently for years." They look at me with... pity? Why do they pity me? "I've never known anyone so separate and independent from society." I'm getting bored now. Time to go.I'm pretty sure their curiosity will allow me to stay unknown. Screw consequences being trapped doesn't sit well with me."Well I'm just off now. And I warn you, don't try to follow me and don't talk to anyone about me. Thanks for the books by the way twilight. If you were wondering why you couldn't find them. Don't worry, I returned them all."

Before twilight or rainbow can say anything I leap of of the now useless restraints and fly through the door, knocking over a dragon on my way past. Wait? A dragon! I hear RD behind me. I'm going to be seen if I go flying outside. I have to hide. And I know where. As I approach the door. Rainbow on my tail, I slow a bit, forcing her to slow down. As she does I shoot through the door and fly into the trees foliage. I stay still as I watch her go flying through the door and look around. Everypony forgets to look up.

I smile as I lie against a branch. I can live with them trying to find me. They're sure to give up.

I watch from my perch as RD returns. She greets twilight the door. I can hear they're words" I feel sorry for the guy. I can tell he wants to be accepted." I have to hold a chuckle back then they really didn't understand. Why do I need friendship. I've lived without it. Twilight replies "don't worry, we'll find him. I'll write a letter to the princess' they'll find him. Dread fills me. Why we're they so determined to make me into a society pony. I couldn't let that message reach the princesses I'd have to stop it. Then I'd teach her why I don't need, or want help. I'm not violent... Well. To ponies, I'll just give her fright.

The moon begins to rise as I listen at the window of the library. It was getting boring. But I needed to know when to do it. Finally I overheard twilight Say. "Spike, take a note. Dear princess celestia..." time to give her a scare I think.

I open the window, knowing a person like twilight would keep them from squeaking. I could judge habits. As the window opened silently I swooped in. My wing beats as silent as ever. I could see a lamp on the table next to twilight. I dove past her, using just enough wind to extinguish it before rolling behind another desk.

My ally fills the room. Darkness gives me cover. I manoeuvre over to the door. Staying above the uneasy unicorn and dragons vision. I turn the key in the lock silently. Locking them in. Twilight looks in my direction, her horn begins to glow. I dive for cover, hoping she didn't see the movement. "Is that you si?" Let the scaring commence. I let one of my eyes appear in the light before backing away. I hear the Dragon whimper. This I so fun. Maybe I should get myself found more often. "I hear you've been trying to send letters about me... I told you not to tell anyone." I use a smooth voice that sounds threatening and echoes a lot as well.

Her voice comes across as calm. But by the light of her horn, I can see she looks nervous. "We are trying to help you." "I. Don't. Need. Your. Help!" I say as I swoop close over the top of her head. I dive low to the ground as she looks up. It's so easy manipulating ponies.

"You don't understand si, we know your lonely, we just want you to try and be sociable, it'll make you a better pony" I reveal myself then, stepping into the light, I was intending to scare her. But now I was angry. "Stop trying to make me whoo I'm not, I've heard it all! 'Join society or get out' I never settled because I was different, don't make me who I'm not, don't try to convince me that friendship isn't just a betrayal waiting to happen!" She looks at me then, with understanding in her eyes. Lying to me." Si, believe me when I tell you I was like you once. Too Clever for friendship I thought, to different,no one likes an egg head I thought. Si it comes from your past. So don't try to tell me that you don't sometimes wish you could laugh with a friend. Share a joke. Just think! You of all people should appreciate the kindness of life. You fight for it, for celestias sake!" I stared at her. Maybe she did understand... but that doesn't mean anything. I can't trust them. Same as all the other towns and cities. Especially canterlot. I shiver at the memory.

"Just... don't tell anyone about me and I'll stay out of your way. Just don't try to get rid of me just because I refuse to be part of your society." I turn and unlock the door swinging it open, before I leave however twilight says quietly,"si. When you get lonely, me and rainbow will be here for you." I shake off the longing feeling the words give me and say " I don't need someponies friendship ... thank you for healing me." I fly into the night. A weight now in my stomach. Am I lonely? I have thought about talking to ponies... but then again, that didn't do me much good in Canterlot. That was the only time I tried.

I consider staying up for the night. I'm sure the guards can do a decent job one night. Tomorrow I need to find those timberwolves. And this time I'll kill them. I won't rest until I find the pit they come from and burn it into dust... I don't know what came over me then. But I know I'm going to do it. No pony' s going to stop me.

I settle in the foliage around twilights house. It worked once. And I can't be bothered finding a new location.

I never knew sleeping on a tree was so comfortable. It feels squishy. Almost like... I bolt upwards. Aware of my surroundings in an instant. I'm in a cloud house. I know of only one house that could be this big. I hear wings as the cyan Pegasus enters the room. She's got such an annoying grin on her face. "Ok. Who said I wouldn't find them again? And its been, what?two days and I've found you twi- hey!" She finishes as I dive into another room of her house. " I just want to talk to you!" "Well I don't!" I find myself upstairs where are the Windows in this place? It's huge! "Just hear me out si! You don't have to run from us! We aren't going to throw you out of ponyville!" I sigh. "You do realise it's day" I say moodily " yeah so what?" She asks. "If you want to talk to me, you can wait until I wake up." I say. "Wait. You wake at night? That's just weird!" I smile at her "to you it is. I've always slept like this. How do you think I avoid ponies." I settle down on a couch in the corner." I never thought you were that antisocial. Your worse than fluttershy at flight school. And that's saying something." I wasn't listening anymore. I just went back sleep. Hearing rainbow dash say something about weather duty.

When I wake up I see RD waiting on a couch. She looks pretty impatient. "Alright keep this quick, I've got business to do." She sits up and says " I just wanted to know how your so silent. And fast." I smile " I love silence, and the dark. Ponies say it's scary. But to me it's always been a comfort. No one sees you in the dark. As for how I'm silent. I learnt when I was young, to avoid ponies that say looked evil. I got stronger as I worked. I've been protecting ponies since I left flight school." She looked at me straight in the eye. It's really nice for once." I think you look cool. And it's awesome how much you like the night and how you stand up for ponies... but how long have you been... training?" I smile my best achievement is that I have practically dedicated myself to helping others. It feels so right. It fills me with pride every time I think about it. "I patrol ponyville every night." Her mouth drops open. "You never have a break? And you never relax?" I'm surprised at her disbelief. " don't you work every day?" Why am I telling her all this? It feels nice anyway " I do but I have friends to enjoy myself with. You've never had fun?" That's just a stupid thought everypony has fun. "Of course I have fun,it's fun when I get to terrorise ponies that see me, into not talking." I can't help myself I add " the look on your face. When I snook behind you she glares at me " hey! It wasn't you I was just... pretending!" This just made me laugh harder. It feels good to laugh with somepony. She looks at me worriedly again though. "But you've never had fun with like... a friend. I stop laughing. With difficulty. "What can I say?I like my own company." She shakes her head. "That won't do." She looks distracted when she says "go and do whatever you do. When you get back you'll see what friendship can give you." I walk to the door

"How do you know I'll be back?" I ask? She looks devious as she says, "because I'm too awesome for you not to. And because I'll make you come back if you try to sleep somewhere again you can't hide when you sleep!" I jump behind a couch timing my ovements perfectly to stay out of sight and tapping her on the back " maybe not when sleep. But certainly when I'm awake." "She giggles oddly at that. It makes me feel pleased. as I leave her house I leave a mental note to myself. Start setting traps whenever you go to sleep from now on.

I fly towards the everfree forest. My thoughts growing dark with revenge.
