A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates just been busy.

Well I should have an opening for most of the week if something doesn't pop up so expect more updates soon.

I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Sitting across from a handsome young brunette at the diner Whisper found herself thinking about Slayter., perhaps she was too hard on him she knew she didn't even give him a chance to explain himself.

Frowning her rose-colored eyes stared off into the distance her nose scrunching up slightly in an annoyed manner., knowing him he went off with some friends to act like some big shot showing off how bad he was.

Why couldn't he let people see the part of him she could see, a sweet heart with a strong will a man who shouldn't care what others thought of him or what he did.

Yet she knew deep inside he hadn't changed the night they called it quits he made that very clear., that it was his life he would live it as he see fit not under the watch of anyone.

But she didn't look after him because she was trying to hinder him she did it out of love., to lose him would tear her heart apart a fear she never told anyone.

Giggling softly under her breath her eyes softened a bit even after all this time apart she still found herself using the word love about him., she knew her mind said walk away yet her heart told her to stay.

" So you liked that story huh? " Her date chuckled finding that she was smiling happily towards him.

Blushing a light pink across both cheeks she simply nodded brushing her bangs away from her eyes softly., embarrassed that she totally toned this poor guy out.

Something she knew she would have to work on.

" I could feel he was special." The Elderly woman spoke as she slowly walked into her hidden chamber within a large old mansion placed just downhill of a local hangout for the youth called Star-Light Hill.

The Mansion itself was old and dilapidated vines covered it like slithering snakes while the foundation had slowly tore itself apart over the decades., time was cruel to this hidden treasure such as the fate's were.

" Special? " A young woman shrouded in a black cloak spoke as she walked out of the shadows helping her Mistress to her seat with a gentle touch.

" Like you once were fool." The elder spoke in an icy tone her guardian sighing aloud softly as she walked away from the seat of her Mistress not allowed to be in contact with her unless told so.

" Then why not take him, perhaps allow me my freedom? " The woman spoke as the elder just giggled wickedly snapping her fingers in a demanding manner.

The cloaked girl nodded as she walked across the room to a small tray of tea pre-made before her Mistress had returned for her pleasure., she always thought best over a cup of tea.

" You would not be free so easily you stupid girl., even if I had found another to be my guardian I'd still find a use for you perhaps a mindless slave." The Elder smirked as she took the cup off the tray with an icy touch sipping from it slowly.

" No., I could sense it he was being watched by some force and in my weakened condition I wouldn't dare strike back." The Woman gasped aloud catching her breath softly feeling light-headed the day itself draining her.

She thought back when she could go day's without rest her beauty and power surpassing all., but now after the passage of time she had been weakened and grown haggard her power just a tenth of it once was.

" I found it at last." The Elder spoke as she lifted the black bag to her guardian who simply took it in silence knowing not to talk unless told too when her Mistress was in such a foul mood.

Removing a small gold piece flat with inscription's on the back she knew this was indeed the last part of " The Key To The Between.." a realm where one could travel anywhere within time or space.

" Be a Dear and assemble the amulet I shall begin the ritual here., soon I shall be able to rewrite fate itself and make sure never again will I fail at my life's work. " The Elder smiled to herself as her guardian bowed out slowly knowing dark times were ahead.

Whispers date gently leaned forward to plant a kiss atop her lips only to have the young woman slowly tilt her head to the side his lips planting a small peck on her cheek.

" Thank you Thomas I had a wonderful time." Whisper forced a smile to her date who simply frowned his eyes gazing away slightly.

" Um. Your Welcome? " Thomas replied feeling as if this date was a complete failure she hadn't even said a word the whole night and at that she didn't even want to kiss him.

" You know the night is still young. how about we go see a movie? " Thomas asked with a slight smile as Whisper gazed to him her heart feeling guilty a bit yet she didn't want to hurt the guy.

Taking a small breath she began to say something when a sudden chill ran down her backside the world slowly seemed to spin around her as it felt she was on a tilt.

Slowly she felt weak falling down to the ground on her knees as her head rang out loudly.

A screeching sound caused her to wince in pain her date yelling at her to see if she was ok yet his words were drowned out she couldn't hear a thing. whimpering aloud she held to her head in pain the noise never seeming to end her body trembling.

" Star-Light Hill." A soft voice suddenly echoed around her as her eyes sprang open gazing off towards a large hill in the background over shadowing Dover.

" Are you ok? " Thomas kneeled at her side in worry as the girl smiled to him weakly getting to her feet as she nodded to him in silence.

" Yes. I'm sorry Thomas I have to go it's an emergency." Whisper spoke her voice soft but calm as she jumped up quickly running off down the sidewalk leaving the young man alone with his thoughts.

" I guess that's a no on the movie." Thomas sighed aloud as he got back to his feet.

Slayter kept quiet as he locked up the store for the night., the moon high above in the sky glowing an eerie yellow hue everything seemed too quiet tonight as if something big was about to happen.

Eyes gazed up towards the large hill in the distance the voice echoing within his mind as he knew he should check it out. but what would be waiting for him up there a trick or maybe something more?

Shaking his head side to side he decided to swing by his place and grab his lucky jacket before heading up there during the night with his luck alone he would probably stumble across a cultist meeting.

Walking alone within the night he jogged down the sidewalk in silence unknown to him his tale had begun now.

Kimmy sat alone in her bedroom decorated with many pictures' of ponies they were her favorite animal other than normal one's she loved collecting items with various types of ponies as well.

Unicorns, Pegasi and even ponies with Bat wings decorated her pink walls and shelves across her room. yet even their happy faces could not mask the sadness she was feeling at the moment.

She had been grounded for three month's and her mother was giving her lectures around the clock while her dad was busy drinking like always., she felt alone as if nothing would ever brighten up her day.

Softly sobbing in her bedroom Kimmy gazed up towards her bedside drawer and looked upon a framed picture of her and her older sister Charlotte both happy and carefree. her sister held her in her arms while at a lake trip.

Sadly she had passed away over a year ago a wicked car crash totaled her car so bad that her body could not be identified. she couldn't even say goodbye to her sister in an open coffin it had to be closed.

" You always said you'd be there for me Charlie." Kimmy wept tears running down her cheeks slowly as a soft echo of thunder rang off into the distance. gazing outside her window she could see dark clouds forming high in the sky.

" Star-Light Hill." Kimmy spoke in barely a whisper as she dried her eyes knowing in her heart she had to check it out as if an odd force was calling out to her.

Taking a small breath she quickly grabbed her pink backpack off her desk and ran over to her window prying it open. the wind from outside blowing wickedly as a storm was quickly forming high above.

" I'm sorry mom." Kimmy whispered hopping out her window to a nearby tree as she quickly scaled down it running off towards the shadowy hill in the distance it would be a hard jog but she had to make it.

" Kimberly. I need help preparing dinner. Kimberly? " Her Mothers words echoed from downstairs as the cold wind blew inside the empty room.
