Chapter 6
Inner Evil
I knocked on Fluttershy's door, and not even after 5 seconds Fluttershy opened it,"Hi Strider, I've been meaning to talk to you can you please come in, sorry Rainbow
Dash I wanna talk to him in private." I enter her cottage and close the door, I then notice that Fluttershy is looking down a bit,"So...what did you wanna talk about
Fluttershy?" Suddenly I feel a huge wave of sleepiness come over me,"Wha...whats..going on?...Why am I so...sleepy?" After what seemed like minutes, I woke up
and look at the clock, and what the hell it some got to be around 9:45pm. "Fluttershy, do you mind if I bunk at your cottage tonight?" She just leads me to the couch
still with the blanket I used when I was here my first night."So Fluttershy, did you hear, we're goin out appearantly." She looked at me,"The one about us sleeping
together? Yes I did,I know it isn't true it was just that these little filly's,The cutie Mark Crusaders, thought we had something." She looked down a bit as she said that
last part. I then felt a throbbing pain in my head and suddenly, I was in a white room. Across from me there a mirror and as soon as I looked at it, my reflection and
two others came through. The other two were of Rarity and Fluttershy,"Coward, just submit to your inner evil, there is no use resisting us anymore." My reflection,
my hatred, my inner evil, my fears, my guilt, my sadness, it was all flowing in him. But why did Rarity and Fluttershy's shadows come here, whats my business here.
I didn't get to think much as my shadow elbowed me in my gut,"GAHHH! *pant* *pant* Dammit..." I jump out of the way before he could land another attack But
Fluttershy and Rarity double team me. What am I gonna do? I use my onyx to get some strength and charge at my shadow. The other two just stood there doing
nothing, didn't really matter because my hit weren't doing anything to my shadow."Until you get stronger you will never beat me." I suddenly woke up on th coach at
Fluttershy's house,"..Why am I so weak?" I look at the wall clock,"11:29pm huh, didn't think I was out that long...huh?" I look next to me to see Fluttershy snuggling
with me. That smile she had, it was cute. As I tried to get up, I heard her cooing a bit and her eyes started to open,"uhh, how are you feeling Strider?" I hold my
head cause it's still throbbing a bit,"Peachy Fluttershy, and sorry about the trouble." She just looked at me for a bit,"It was no trouble at all." I swear that smile on
her face, she could brighten up anyones day. As she lays her head on my chest, I start to think,"I wonder how Rarity I doing, was a bit to rough on her, was it right
to leave her?" These thoughts are eating me alive on the inside. I decided to check on her tomorrow after a good nights sleep. Well tomorrow came, and after a nice
breakfast,courtesy of Fluttershy, I headed to the boutique only to notice that it was closed. "Time to put my skills to the test." I dig in my pockets to see if I had
something to pick the lock with, and luckily I had a paper clip. I got the door opened up and entered the boutique. It was dark, but I noticed that there were a bunch
of unfinished dresses on the mannequins, then I heard a faint sound, sobbing. I followed the sounds up the stairs and stood in front of Rarity's room." Rarity...it's me,
are you alright?" The next thing I hear is something being shattering behind the door,"GO AWAY! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU,YOU LIAR!" At first my mind and gut
told me to get the hell outta there, but my heart told me I should go in. I once again use my lock picking skills I picked up on, I enter only to get hit by a lamp. I rub
my head and focus on Rarity,"Rarity...I'm sorry". Sorry, even I know that wasn't enough to get me outta this grave. She leaped outta bed and pinned me to the
ground," YOU PROMISED ME! YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE ME!" Her tears fall on my face as I just stare back at her. I may not have looked like it but I was
choking on my words. "Rarity... the reason I left...I all I would have done was hurt you, like I am now." I turn my head just so I don't have to see her face, but it was
pointless,feeling her tears on my face and hearing her sob... She started to ease off of me and I rolled out from under her. I pick her up to put her back on her bed,
but she refused to let me touch her. After an hour she had finally cried herself to sleep and I used that opportunity to get her into her bed."Man, I really screwed up...
The fact that she's crying this long proves it." I checked the clock to see that it was 5:28 in the afternoon. I decided to just lay by the bed side and dozed off. I woke
up in a white room,surrounded by mirrors."This isn't gonna end well..." My reflections started to turn black and exit the mirror."Lets hope I can get outta this
nightmare alive."
