An Electrifying Journey
Chapter 15 - A heart for love
Hello again guys!
Chapter 15 already!
Thanks for you support guys.
Nothing else to say so, enjoy!
We continued discussing on the measurements of the gem and the colour. I drew on the paper that he gave me, I drew a heart and 2 more layers of heart shapes. I labelled the length, width and thickness of the gem.
I took out a large gem that I found, it was a purple gem. The stallion nodded his head in agreement. "Nice thinking, I must say. And you will fill the layers is colours?" He asked.
"Yeah, maybe dark blue and light blue die." I answered, looking at the draft.
"It would take me at least 2 or 3 hours for me to do that." He stood up and walked to the counter, Sam and I followed. "Later you come back for payment and you will get the gem." he said, observing the gem through his glasses.
"P-payment?" I said nervously. He raised his head and looked at me. "Yes. You will have to pay." "O-oh, how much?" I asked. The grey stallion though for a while. "I think 700 bits."
"Ok I will pay you later." Sam and I went out of the shop.
"Is 700 bits expensive?" Sam asked. I shrugged and we went to walk around town to look for Twilight.
In the castle...
Luna looked at the parchment, thinking. Should I tell him? Or maybe I will surprise him tomorrow. Luna stood up and went to the balcony to marvel the scenery of Canterlot. She noticed a carriage flew down to the castle grounds and her sister approached it, talking to the guards. Luna decided to find out what's going on.
"Where did you land?" Celestia asked, looking around to make sure Luna does not hear anything. "At the Canterlot air field, Princess." the guard replied. Celestia nodded "Good, do not mention any of this to Luna ok?
The guards nodded before moving back into the castle.
Luna saw the guards come in. She pushed through them and outside she saw her sister about to walk in. "What's going on Tia?"
"Nothing, I just sent someone to give away tickets to somepony for the Gala." Celestia lied. Together, the sisters entered the castle.
Back in Canterlot...
We have been searching for the mane six for an hour. Canterlot was so big and crowded too. Sam and I decided to stop for a break at one of the cafes there. We ordered for 2 cups of coffee and waited. I reached into my small sling bag which Rarity made while I was in the castle. I looked at the gems I stowed inside and thought, How much will I get for selling these.
After drinking our coffee, the waitress asked for us to pay. I asked if she accepted the gem but she just refused. I asked where could I sell my gems. Once I was told of the nearest place that buys gems, I told her and Sam to wait here as I went to sell my gems.
I followed the waitress's directions, ignoring the stares that I was getting from the ponies. After running for a minute or two, I saw a small store which has a counter that stretches the entire length of the shop. I saw short lines of ponies and the ponies at the counter placed goods on the counter and in return the pony at the counter gave them some bits.
I queued up and I look at the heading on top of the counters, it shows the price of each item. I looked for gems and it stated that it depends on the type, I scratched my head and rummaged my bag for the gems I want to sell. I separated the ones I want to keep from those I want to sell.
When I approached the counter I placed a handful of gems one by one. Everypony gave me stares and I heard some whispers too. The mare took the gems and did something to them behind the counter and told me, "We can buy it for 2000 bits, is it okay for you, sir?"
Whoa! 2000 bits! I'm rich! "Fine by me" I smiled. The mare place two bags on the counter and said. "1000 bits per bag. Thank for your co-operation, sir." I took the bags and nodded at the counter and left, getting some stares from the ponies in the lines.
Now I can totally buy something out of these guys! I thought, placing the money bags into my sling bags. I was about to continue walking until something bumped into me. I fell to the ground, groaning. And when I stood up, my bag was gone! I looked around and saw a brown earth pony in a cloak running with my bag in his mouth.
"Hey come back here!" I shouted, sprinting to him. Thankfully, my long human legs gave me a advantage so I was about to catch up with him until he made a sharp turn to an alley. I followed him and saw him climbing a huge heap of boxes jumped to the other side. I followed what he did and saw him exit the alley. I went out to the streets and look around.
He was already going downhill, about 100 metres away now. I sprinted after him, fighting the urge to stop and rest. I was now arms length away from him. I was about to reach his tail until I was bucked to the face. I fell down with a thud. I moaned and slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes. I saw blood on my hands. My anger rose to the max as I saw him running further away and making a left turn.
I ran to a wall and climbed it until I was on a roof. I ran from building to building and stopped to look for the robber. I saw him walking down the street, looking around for me. I smirked and jumped from building to building until I was very close to him. I crouched in my position, watching him enter an alley, still looking around. I jumped to a pole and swing to another roof and went to the left edge and looked down.
I saw him sitting down, digging in my bag and admiring the gems, the sight made my blood boil. I jumped down from the roof and landed in front of him, crouching. "Your going to pay." I smirked to the earth pony to attempted to run away again but I tackled him and gave him a punch to the face. He was now begging for mercy. I slinged back my bag and was about to give him a piece of my mind until I heard hoovesteps. The exit was blocked by two stallions in brown cloaks.
They approached me slowly, a wide grin on their face. I got intimidated and ran further into the alley. I was knocked off by a hoof to the face and I fell to the floor, my hands covering my eyes. I stood up and saw that I was surrounded by these thieves. I had nowhere to run now. I was pushed by one of them and the one behind bucked my back. I grunted as I stumbled forward.
They laughed an evil laugh as they started punching me around. I was starting to lose conciousness until a purple bubble surrounded me. I slowly turned my head to see Twilight, Sam and the mane six. "Twi-." I mumbled, blood flowing down my chin. The thieves turned to face them. twilight sent out magic blasts which hit them one by one. Knocking each one out.
Once all of them were down, they ran to me and looked at me. I was laying down, my body leaning on the wall. I looked down to catch my breath. I looked at myself, my shirt was stained red here and there. I saw small cuts and bruises on my arms. I closed my eyes slowly.
I opened my eyes to see myself in new clothes and bandages around my body. I looked around to see that I was on a bed back in the hotel. A purple mist was surrounding me and I turned to see Twilight, sweat glistening on her forehead, her eyes were closed tight and she was also frowning.
I did not feel pain. After a while, the purple mist disappeared and Twilight fell, her head on the side of the bed. Her eyes were half closed and she began moaning. I placed my hand on her head. She opened her eyes wide to look at me. I smiled at her and managed to mumble a soft 'thank you' before closing my eyes again.
I opened my eyes to see Twilight, sleeping beside me and my arms wrapped around her. I smiled and turned to see the sun set out of the window. I looked at the side table to see a purple gem, the size of a human fist, in the shape of a heart.
I smiled as I sat up and picked it up. I saw two capsules containing dark blue and light blue liquids. I looked for holes around the gem and when I found them I poured the contents of the capsules separately. I smiled at the outcome, now the gem was light blue in the middle then going outwards, it was dark blue and at the very edge, it was purple.
I shook the gem and when I looked at it, it was now sparkling and glittering. I smiled widely. I took a small black rope from the table and poked it through the hole at the very top and I tied a knot such that it was now a necklace but the thread is longer because it was meant for Luna. help it in my hands and wrapped my hand with the black thread. I lay down and began to sleep again. I hope you will like this Luna...
