Hey again everypony!

(Literally nothing has happened since chapter 2 so no info here!)

Here is chapter three

should I be scared? I think as I kill another timberwolf. Their beginning to pile up around me. I can't count how many. But until it's all of them, I won't stop the killing. All those cowards who tried to kill me in my sleep.

Now they were organised. The rest were coming for me. Snarling and howling. I just waited. I would kill them destroy the foul den they came from. Every last one.

I decided that, had I not been so angry I would have been worried at how I brutally slaughtered them all. But I wasn't not angry. I was livid. I was still able to think, still able to calculate the best, most efficient way to kill. That was what I was after all... a killer, someone violent and sinister enough to be discounted by society. The amusing thing was that I hadn't killed a Pony. Ever. Just the fact that I could, made me too dangerous.

No wonder people feared me as I dispatched yet another one, shattering its head into pieces with a hoof. I carried on like this the fighting. More fighting. Then silence. Just the rustling of the trees, they sounded unsettled, they had just witnessed genocide of the everfree timberwolves. Something no one else needed to know. I wasn't going to tell. And neither would the trees. Everything would be fine. Simply had to stop them returning now.

I wondered then why I was calm. I wasn't calm at all. But the alternative was to yell, and scream. And that would be reckless. I realised even now that my behaviour was altered by my fighting. Calculated. Silent.

I approached the hollow. It was cold and damp. But as I entered I realised it was very large. Must go right into the hill it was built into. I cautiously step forward. The only light is given off by a very large and ornate crystal. I could feel it's power. This was important.

I hesitated then. Was revenge for killing me enough of a reason to end an entire species? My adrenaline was ebbing as well as my anger. They see me as a threat, nothing more. I have my chance right in front of me. Revenge. But I can't do it. I understand they'll be back. But that was the point, it wasn't my place to destroy a species. Enough was enough. I would just have to stay away from the forest. Maybe they would be more fearful of me now.

As my adrenaline leaves me I feel the multiple gouges on me. Despite my calm anger. I had been reckless. Now I paid with these cuts. I know of plants that can heal me. I rarely rely on magic.

As I take flight. Leaving the clearing I think of how many I killed. I was dangerous. I should never let my anger control me again. It will destroy everything I care for.

By the time I land at RD's cloud house I'm tired. But aware. Aware enough to hear voices. The lights are off and there are ponies inside. Ambush.

I'm surprised at how quick the betrayals was. I guess it goes to show looks are deceiving. I thought they genuinely meant to help this time. It hurt, come to think of it. I flew around the building. Seeing a balloon hidden around the house. Whoever they were, probably had weapons. The guard perhaps? This meant I'd have to be sneaky. Or I could just leave. Why bother when nopony wanted me? I'd proven to myself tonight I was dangerous. Was it so difficult to leave civilisation? Yes was the answer. It was. It was worth the fight. I decided on a direct approach. I could take them. Darkness was on my side.

I approached the door and readied myself for a fight. I could use things to my advantage. It was dark. I pushed the door open all the way . Waiting for an att- "SUPRISE"

I fell back on my hind hooves.

What?

I didn't understand. Wasn't Anypony going to attack? I dived behind one of the cloud sofas. Maybe this was an odd tactic. "Heytheredidwescareya?" I shake my head at the pink pony who had appeared in front of me. She was defying laws here. One second she was their the next she wasn't. I had to get out of here. A fight I could handle. A party? Never.

I jump over her waiting for a face to appear in my vision. But she wasn't under me any more. What?

I landed turning round to face where the pink thing had last been.

"That's a fancy trick!" I heard behind me. She was there again. I just sat down. Either she could control physics. Or she was better than me. She just stared expectantly at me "soooo... did we get ya?" I don't know what she means. "Like... hit me? Caus' you haven't put a hoof on me... please dont touch me.

She laughs "no silly, the PARTY!" She seems to inflate when she said that. "No you didn't." I don't know what to say except the truth. I feel guilty when she deflates. Wait what am I seeing here? She actually just bucking deflated!

I sit down. "How are you moving so quickly?" Before she can answer though RD flies over and plugs her mouth with a hoof " don't ask that. Unless you don't want your mind melting. Seriously. Twilight tried, and it took her three weeks to be able to read again." I just stared. This was so weird. I preferred the timberwolves. "Sooo... who are you all? And why do they know me?" I add angrily as I face RD and twilight. "Well, I thought you compile use a bit of friendship so I got a few of mine!" I glared at her until the smile disappeared from her face. "You thought wrong. Don't go telling any more ponies. I don't need the attention. Or the dislike" I headed towards the stairs. Just as I reached them the pink one materialised in my face. I yelp In surprise. She just smiles and says "but the party just started! And we've got cupcakes and Apples and..." I just sat there as she listed foods I'd never even heard of. what. In the name of tarterus. Are cherry chongas?

I stepped back into the party room and took a seat on a couch. "So..." an orange mare chuckled nervously making eye contact before looking away nervously. "What's ya name? Rainbow Dash said you were in need some friends." I really feel uncomfortable here. I just decide to answer and get this over with. "My name's Silent Night. But just call me Si. As for friends. I don't need them. "Everyone needs a friend darling." A rather Canterlot looking mare saidthis makes me dislike her instantly. "I don't."I say.

I probably should've said it in a nicer way. But past occurrences make me prone to be hostile towards Canterlot ponies. The atmosphere drops into the minuses at this point as the Orange mare says again " looks to me like you need friends." I turned to face her before saying. "I've lived my whole life without them. What makes you think I need it now? And what makes you think I'd be your friends?" She looks at me then. "Everypony needs somepony else. It's pony nature." I simply say " then I'm an exception." The pink one starts jumping up and down again. "Lets play some games. How about hide and seek?" I role my eyes. Why does anyone stand for this boredom?" The six ponies nod their heads. Might as well. I've got a few hours to kill, and I can prove to RD why I don't need friends.

"Si, you count first. I close my eyes and count out loud. Listening to the noises they make. Being silent makes you listen. So naturally I'm a good listener. It takes me two minutes to find all of them but the pink one. I'm getting frustrated now as I approach her breathing. Before it comes from another location. This is infuriating.

I finally catch her out by telling her she's cheating. I found her. But she was pretty mad. "I wasn't cheating! I was simply-"this time the Orange mare shoves a hoof in her mouth. "RD wasn't kiddin' when she said ya shouldn' listen" If I could understand this pink things techniques... I had to know.

As we reconvene in the party room I ask their names " I'm such a silly fillie! I'm pinkie pie, this is Apple Jack, rarity and this mare is fluttershy." I look at the Pegasus mare called fluttershy, she whimpers and hides behind her mane. "Don't worry about her. She's a little shy." Pinkie pie whispers to me .I'm shy... she's practically catatonic. "Well. Why are you guys here? You can't just be here because of me. "Pinkie pie appears in my face looking angry. She's scary how she changes from happy to angry. Also kinda worried how quickly I accepted her teleportation skills. "You've been here for ages... And you've avoided a welcome party!" I don't get why anypony would want a welcome party with strangers... "would ya like some cake si?" I look at applejack as she offers a plate with something on top. "What's cake".

Is it just me, or did a dust ball wheel across the floor? they all star incredulously at me "what...did you say?" Pinkie asks with something close to insanity, her eyes twitching and everything. "I said, what's cake? I've never had a bit in my life. "Ohhh you poor thing" rarity exclaims falling dramatically onto a couch. Bits are everything to Canterlot ponies. I was about to reply when pinkie pie screams and starts piling the entire table of party food onto a plate. As well as a few that I swear hadn't been on the table before.

I go to ask something but she appears in front of me and screams "you aren't leaving until you try EVERYTHING!" I would defiantly prefer the timberwolves at the moment.

I glance over the mountain of confectionery pleading for help from rainbow dash or twilight. Both of whom are killing themselves laughing at my situation. I don't find it funny. I'd be here for days!

I tentatively take a bite of the cake. And start feeling... weird. Like I could run for miles. I need to run I need to do things,jump mountains! SWIM FOR MILES!

but first to eat the rest of this delicious cake! I laugh then and dive into the mountain of energy.

"Owww" I say weakly. I feel so energised. But ... I'm not eating for a week after this. All of the mares are killing themselves laughing at me. I smile weakly. It feels nice to be included for once. Maybe I can get used to this. And the cake... although not for another week or so.

Slowly the girls escape they're near death by laughter experience and sit around a table. The atmosphere being more relaxed now. I need to get rid of this energy... but I'd probably drop like a stone if I tried to fly. I settle with push-ups. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9... I look up to see the ponies staring at me. "Wow..." says twilight. "Your pretty fit aren't you?" I smile "I need to be." Rarity was looking at me curiously. With a hint of suspicion. Maybe the atmosphere wasn't totally relaxed after all. "And why do you need to be fit, what do you do? You said you haven't earned a bit in your life. And your homeless!" Typical canterlot ponies looking at possessions. "I watch over ponyville every night."

Applejack looks at me then with understanding "your the one granny Smith claims gets rid o' the timberwolves! She used tah be up, banging pots around to keep em at bay!" I scratch the back of my head " well... you do live next to a dark, evil forest so my nights are pretty eventful. In other towns I just got the odd thief."Rarity still looks suspicious and AJ doesn't look satisfied either.

Twilight asks then "but when do you sleep?" I hadn't told her my sleeping habbits yet. "I sleep during the day, it's easier to avoid ponies that way. And I can get around easily at night." They stare at me. Well , except RD who already knew. She's smiling though. I wonder why.

"But how does your body adapt to such a lifestyle? I wonder if your body gives off-" I see RD's smug look as twilight goes on. She knew I'd be asked to take tests I've never heard the name of. It amuses her to see me suffer.

Well, two can play at that game." What I'm curious about" cutting twilight short "is why we get a rainbow forming after a sonic rainboom ?" I mouth to RD 'enjoy your tests!' she glares at me mouthing "you are so dead!" I smiled mouthing back "you'd have to catch me first" she smiled "oh it's on!" She shouted out loud startling twilight who had been discussing her theories and how she should test RD I laugh and fly around the room. Using the walls as propulsion and dodging her every move. I end it by dodging her so her head gets stuck in a cloud wall. When she frees herself she turns and smiles, her eyes glinting. "This isn't over! I will get you!" I simply smile at her. "Anyway..." Twilight says "I want to hear more about you Si. Where do you come from? How did you end up in ponyville" usually I would never tell Anypony this. But I felt I could trust these ponies, unlike those before them.

"Well. I was a cloudsdale pegasus, I was always quiet and used to get bullied and such. So I learnt to hide and blend in with the shadows. They didn't bother me when I learnt to hover, instead of learning to fly, I used the ability to hover to my advantage and learnt the art of street jumping. I could jump houses and things and this allowed me to escape them."

Eventually I flew as well. And I really loved flying. Except if I did then everyone would see me, so I introduced it into my variation of running, not relying on wings. But not entirely on my hooves either. This meant I could run and fly fast. After a while the bullies moved on and I was free to do other things. In those years of flight school I developed some of my own tricks and moves. One of the instructors said I could get into the wonderbolts. I declined though."

"What! You declined the wonderbolts!" Rainbow Dash mock faints then

"I really didn't want the attention." Plus I was to shy... the didn't need to know that though.

Then my life changed. one day as I returned from flight school, a group of ponies attack me. I wasn't ready for them. I couldn't do anything. They called me things. Meant to break my will. I don't know why they did it. I didn't have any bits. Anyway. I realised I was helpless. I decided that If I was ever in that situation again they wouldn't be able to put a hoof on me. They couldn't break me. They just drove me.

I trained for days and days. I dropped out of school. Flight school was an exception. But I had decided I would live my life helping others, those who couldn't stand up to the cruelties of society." After all. I wasn't going to do a boring office job that's for sure. And when I first helped someone... it felt right.

I noted I was breathing heavily. Why was I telling them this? It felt good though. To finally express my feelings. So I continue.

"Then. After a year or two. My parents feel they can't control me. They want me to become some pawn in society. Bound to follow, like a sheep. I despised them then. When would they realise this Is what I am? I row with them. Then leave. Never to return.

After that. I felt free. I could continue the last year In flight school. Then help others. It's now that I start sleeping by day and rising by night. I can still remember how the moon lit up the clouds..."

Rainbow, being the insensitive pony she Is breaks the memory.

I glare. She grins. " after that. Things got complicated. Ponies started getting restless. They didn't like the idea of a pony, who could easily harm them. Walking around at night. Given my looks... it's hard to convince ponies otherwise, even with those I helped ponies didn't like me.

They say things like " what do ya mean? You look AWESOME!" And other things. I'm thankful though. Even if I like my freedom. The rejections still ache."thanks Rainbow Dash. Anyway I decided to leave Cloudsdale and travelled to... canterlot"

"Ohhh the beautiful city! Such class such-"

"No." can't even listen to those who like that disgustingly obnoxious city.

I can't tell them yet, no matter what I tell them now. I need to keep that one to myself. It was horrible there. "Lets just say I was out of there in a week. Anyway I tried of the cities. Caught a few in each, every time the attention would bring rejection. So I tried the smaller towns. I stayed in those longer as ponies were more accepting. But there were still those who didn't like me. So I moved on every time." I don't hate them. I know they had something to be scared of. "So that's what brought me here. And I've been here for a while, there are plenty of reasons to stay."

I don't tell them either that if I left I would be on my own. Maybe I should trust them? Nah. They're still other ponies. Still prone to treachery.

"Well. That's quite a story" twilight says thoughtful. Probably already has a tone of questions

"That's awesome! You've been kikin flank all your life!" I smile at rainbow dash. She can really make you feel good. "Well. Ah need ta be gettin back to tha farm. I'll see ya girls later... Si." I detected a faint hint of distrust. And as the other four left, leaving me and RD I could see it on rarity.

"Well I need my sleep as well. Night Si." With that I was alone again. But now. I wasn't content with it. Those mares had given me an idea of why ponies had friends. I still had my doubts. But maybe... I could have friends.

I need to stretch my wings. I take off from the cloud house. Feeling the wind through my wings, seeing the moon overhead. Luna did a better job than celestia. She was so talented. I loved the night and admired its ruler.

I soared low to the forest, trying to catch a glimpse of the timberwolves den. But to no avail. I wonder if having friends should be wise. Remembering again the cold fury I felt as I slammed a hoof through a timberwolves skull. I hope that never happens again. And after to tonight. I feel... happy. Feels good to rely on someone else.

As I returned to ponyville having searched around more suspicious things in the forest (nothing more than a manticore ) I flew through the apple orchard. At the crossroads, leading to sweet Apple Acres and ponyville. I saw Applejack and Rarity. "Ah don't know... he was sure hidin' somthin'. Clear as day." Applejack whispered conspiratorially glancing around. By now I was watching from the shadows. Guess I can't rely on everypony yet. I'm glad they don't despise me outright though. And lucky I didn't give them too many hints on my capabilities.

They're very understanding ponies from what I can tell. " I don't like him either. Have you seen his eyes... they're so creepy." Rarity exclaimed shuddering. I had half a mind to teach them a lesson in judging a book by its cover. But applejack got there first. In a much gentler way. "Now now Rarity. thas' not right. Jus' cause he looks bad don't mean notin'. Look at Big Mac. If you saw somepony that large for the first time what would you do? He wouldnt hurt a fly." I could see rarity's expression of distain. "Well. That doesn't mean we should trust him. We should keep an eye on him. After all, he is dangerous. I wonder how much of a threat he poses. Maybe we should test him?

Applejack looks thoughtful "what did you have in mind?" She smiles then "well, how about we get a damsel in distress and see how he reacts. Naturally I'm the damsel." Typical stuck up canterlot arrogance. I smile. I'm going to enjoy this test. Well... they won't.

I return to Rainbow Dash's house. I guess I'm staying here. But if I am... I should have a few precautions. Taking the doorbell off its post I take it up to my room. Taking a wisp of cloud I thread it through the bell. I the attach it to the other side of the door. If anyone opens the door. I'd know. Cloud beds are heavenly compared to a floor.

I wake to the ringing of a bell. I'm up in seconds with a hoof nearly landing on the muzzle of a startled rainbow dash. I smile evilly. "Your gonna have to be stealthier than that." She just mutters something about 'unknown circumstances' I smile. "Well. If you excuse me. I'm off to sleep. "No your not!" She yells dragging the cloud quilt off me. I glare at her " and why am I not going to sleep?"

"You said you had some moves! When you were in flight school. Plus we haven't finished that race." What race? "You mean before I scared you again in the everfree forest?" She glares "you are now dead. " I smile. "I am if you can catch me. Which you still haven't done." She dives at me then yelling a battle cry. I simply jump with my hind legs, meaning she falls onto the bed with me floating above her. "You think your gonna get me by diving at me? I've had fillies make a better effort." She jumps at me again. I stop flying with one wing. Pivoting around her and moving towards the door. "So you wanted a race did you?" I turn and shoot out of the door. RD in hot pursuit. I glance behind me. She's gaining . I assume she's strictly a racing Pegasus. But she's not racing. We didn't set a finish. She's trying to catch me. Not going to happen. I pivot my wings pushing against the wind and forcing myself to drop below her. While I do this I raise my body. The air resistance slowing me exponentially Making her fly over me. The surprise on her face was hilarious.

I simply hover there with my arms folded as she turns around. "How did you not dislocate your wings?" I smile. I trained my wings to be powerful enough to manipulate my movement. "Why just fly in a straight line?" I answer smugly. I'm pretty cocky when I can do something others can't. Which means most of the time. "You still gonna catch me?" I ask with a hint of a challenge "I'm not stopping until I catch you!" I just smile. I already know what I'm going to do. I fly upwards. Keeping RD close. But not to close. I learnt a cool trick as a young colt that really helps me. As you fly through a cloud. Your vapour trail appears to continue through it, if your looking from behind. This means you can change direction while in a cloud, and fool pursuers into going right through the cloud. I'd observe other flyers when I was in a place too public for me to fly.

I picked a large cloud above the everfree forest and flew through it. To ensure I tricked RD I kept facing forwards and pivoted my wings to their socket limit. It wasn't straight upwards. But enough to bring me out the bottom of the cloud. I then dived into the forest. When I was hidden by the canopy. I looked up to see the cyan form of rainbow dash circling the cloud I'd shot through. I wasn't going end the fun there though. I whistled flying above the canopy. She looked towards me and dived. I flew off. Staying low to the canopy. Finding a clearing I dived dodging between the trees. I could hear rainbow dash's fast wing beats behind me. Most pegasi rely solely on their wings to change direction. You can use all parts of your body though. As I flew towards a tree I twisted my body diagonally to the tree and kicked at the ground with my hind hooves. This caused me to slow down. But as RD neared I used both legs and a powerful wing flap. To vault out of the forest, through the canopy. Behind me, I heard rainbow dash curse as she nearly hits the tree and has to stop, giving me a lead. I turned then, heading back towards the fields surrounding ponyville. I had more tricks to show her.

As I landed at the edge of the forest RD practically ploughed into the ground before shouting " are you trying to kill me?" I grin. "I'm sorry are you saying you couldn't keep up?" I'm so mean sometimes. She glares for a minute before saying " no, I'm saying the everfree forest is dangerous. You of all people should know." My hand instinctively flies to my chest. Where the wound was. She sees the movement. I can tell. I haven't told her what happened. How I slaughtered them all. I won't tell if the trees don't. I thought warily. Was that possible?

RD looked at me before saying. "You haven't beaten me in a straight race. So this isn't over."

"Anyway. You seem like a mare with many moves. Care to show?" And so I get a routine of rainbow dash's skill. Defiantly a good flyer. But in my opinion she lacked a bit of dazzle. Too much fly as fast as you can while performing. Until the sonic rainboom. I'd always been fascinated from hearing things about it. In person. Just. Wow.

I stare for a few minutes before she gets back." So. What have you got to show. "Well, I call this one the spin top ." She shows interest at the name. It's pretty self explanatory. I used my ability of wing flexibility. First I build up momentum in a circle before bringing the edges of circle as close together as I can. This eventually forces my body to start spinning due to momentum. You need powerful wings to get the circle tight enough. When it is. You quickly rotate towards the ground, and before you go flying from the momentum. Put your hoof onto the ground. You then spin on the ground. If you have enough control you can keep yourself going by flapping your wings outwards. And control your movement. You spin like a top. I then use the momentum to fire myself across the field. When I get back she exclaims with excitement "that. Was AWESOME! Teach me!" I smile at her enthusiasm. "I'm not sure you have the wing strength. Your more focused on fast." She looks put out at that but I say "I can teach you a few combat moves though. If you want to..." She brightens up at that " sure!" I step forward. Smiling. "Ok then. Punch me." She looks surprised at that "what?"

"You heard me. Punch me. You of all people should know you aren't going to actually hit me." My taunt works she thrusts a hoof towards me. Like most novices she doesn't have the correct balance and is overstretched. Which makes it easy to push her hoof aside and push her on her rump. "Oh you wanna do this the hard way?" I simply smile. She lunges a hoof aimed at my head. I force her hoof onto the ground. Flipping her onto her back and placing a hoof on her chest. By now I'm grinning like a maniac. Why didn't I offer to teach anyone sooner. She stares up at me. She's red in the cheeks again. Wonder if it's just with the effort. It would make sense... I guess. I

let her up saying. "First rule for any fighting technique. Never let your guard down. Always have some way of defending yourself from attack. That includes attacking. You need defence as well as attack. Now try again."

now she came cautiously, not over-committing. I waited for her to come. When she threw her punch it was stronger, with more force behind it. I sidestepped it and tried to go past her guard like last time. She jumped back." Good. You should always remember a retreat in a fight isn't a retreat. Because you come right back at them.

Just then my stomach rumbles. I know I said I wouldn't eat for a week after those cakes. But it's called a figure of speech. I spotted a dandelion patch near a stream. I plucked one from the ground and started chewing it. Disappointed at how much better cake is . "Errm... what are you doing?" I froze mid-bite. I forgot RD was watching. "I'm eating." I said awkwardly. She just stared. disbelieving "wow... You weren't kidding when you said you didn't have a bit." She grinned, consider this a favour for helping me think up some awesome new moves! Start counting" she soared off into ponyville. When I passed twenty seconds I was getting worried. I saw a rainbow trail.

She landed angrily. "Ok. It would've been ten seconds flat, okay? Stupid order took 10 seconds. Talk about bad service!" I just grinned. She really hated losing didn't she. Well. I can relate. We sit there, enjoying the hay fries. Looking over ponyville. It looks nice in the day. I stand up once finished, yawning. "Well I've gotta get some sleep. See ya around rainbow dash." Is it just me? Or does she look disappointed. Did I miss something?

"Yeah, see you Si. Your welcome in my be-I mean. Cloud house." Odd...

"Yeah. I know, thanks for having me." She's red in the face. Maybe twilight can explain.

Returning to my room. I lie there pondering my new life style. I think I can have a few friends. I have to remember that although the six mares I've met are nice... there are many who don't like me. Come to think of it. Are all of my six new friends actually friends? And what if something happens to them because of me? What if the rest of ponyville try to get rid of me? I couldn't leave now. Not when I finally found ponies willing to be my friends. Maybe this is what I've actually searching for? I lay down to sleep Resetting the bell, and setting up a hook on the window as well. It's as safe as its gonna get in here. So I close my eyes and sleep embraces me.

well. We have our first deleted scene! This chapter could've been

A LOT worse. I hope you guys are still interested.

Thanks for the support and I'll be sure to bring out more soon!

Bro hoof to you all!
