A Forbidden Friendship
Chapter 2: An Unexpected Guest: Evening 1
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhen the CMC made it back to Ponyville, they decided to go back to their houses and see each other later. When Applebloom made it home, she dropped her hair ribbon onto the barn floor intending to watch it after she takes a bath after getting slightly muddy. While in the bathtub, she thought about the alicorn she saw and thought that it seemed too lifelike to be some kind of branch design and how it was also making sounds like it is hurt. When she decided that the colt was just a weird pile of braches and the sounds it made must have come from the forest, she heard a sound of a marble falling to the ground in her mind. When she heard it, she immediately saw an image of the inside of the barn and once the image is gone, she quickly dry herself off and headed there. When she made it to the barn, she discovered the colt on the floor, near her hair ribbon, looking similar to the one she saw in Everfree. She slowly went up to the colt and slightly poke him only for him to slightly move. "Oh my gosh, you are real!" Applebloom said looking at the colt. "…Aren't you going to…heal me (groan)," the colt said slightly with his injured wing and hoof. Applebloom then remember that she had thought about treating him and decided to go get a first aid kit, a cup of water, and a blanket sheet. When she got back to him, she treated his hoof the same way her older sister treated her injured hoof when she was younger. When she finished treating his hoof, she look up the manual, which was included within the first aid kit, for how to treat a bruised Pegasus wing as she never treated the wings of a Pegasus before. Before she is giving a chance to treat the colt's wings, he already tried to stand up and spread his wings, when he pull them back as they are untreated. "Are you all right?" Applebloom asked trying to keep the colt up on his hoof. The colt looked at her as she is trying to keep him standing and said, "You are a strange unicorn for hiding your magic horn in your hair." Applebloom looked at him funny until she told him that she is not a unicorn, she is an earth pony. "What! Clearly you have no wings (Looking at her body section). What exactly are you?" The colt asked with Applebloom simply repeating herself. The colt look at her with shock and tried to run away from her only to be stopped, until he teleported to the other side of the barn. "I don't know what you Earth Ponies want with me, but you will not keep me held," The colt said trying to use his magic to teleport again. He tried to teleport out of the barn but Applebloom stopped him from leaving and said, "Look, even with magic, you shouldn't be going anywhere mister, you need to stay off that hoof and wing unless you can teleport to your home. For now, I am going to be taking care of you until both your wing and hoof get better, or unless we can find your family." After Applebloom mentioned family, the colt quickly looked at her funny and demanded, "Fine, where can I slumber?" Applebloom direct his attention to a sheet and told him about how he is going to sleep on the couch and that she will need to let her family know that he will be staying there until he gets better. When she looked for him, she realize that the colt left the room and when she looked for him, she found him when the sound of magic pop up from her older sister's bedroom. When she went to the front of her sister's bedroom, she opened the door and saw that her sister's bedroom had become a demonic looking lair, unlike the traditional style the bedroom was, with the colt laying on the bed. She went up to the colt and said, "Hey, What did you do to my sister's bedroom?" "I don't sleep on a (looking confused) couch, I sleep on a bed, in this environment," the colt said feeling comfortable. "But you can't do this to my sister's bedroom, she may be out of town but you can't do this to her room!" Applebloom said with the colt putting his head up and disregard what she said. This angers her and it push her to jump on the bed and said, "Look you are not going to be living here forever, (the colt rolling his eyes) what you should know is by some point you will have to go to your home soon (The colt mouthing blah repeatedly). So you listen mister, (pointing her hoof at him) so long as you are here, I am going to help you get better and you better not cause any problems for any of us, I mean I don't even know your name and look at what your causing," Applebloom said pointing at the room. The colt looked at her, astonished by her message, and directly told her, "I will be retiring for the day, and you can call me Bourne, now I must sleep." After he said that, he used his magic to take the cover and pulled it up to his head with a surprise Applebloom to leave as she never expected for things to go that way and decided to not tell her family about Bourne as she decides to go to bed herself. Later that night, Bourne woke up and hid under the sheets and brought out a satchel, hidden within his non-injured wing and got out a journal and a pencil. "To Journal, the beginning of my mission has reach a snag, my wing has been injured as well as my hoof, (trying to stretch them out only to retract them). It is because of these two, I have been taking hostage by some Filth, I guess as I only heard of them in stories and never believe they were real. So far, I am going under another name so that my real name doesn't cause anyone important to cause trouble for me. Besides, as soon I get back to normal, I will leave that filth, and resume my mission: to corrupt a pure and innocent life and take it back to the kingdom, where we shall begin our plans to take over all of the land. When I'm normal, I will do exactly that in no time. –Yours evily, Prince Malbourne." Malbourne put in the journal where once he was finished, he put it back in his wing and went to sleep in the cold dark room.
A/N: Gogigenyou readers who found this, sorry for taking a month for this, I needed ideas as to how Malbourne character will be and how to develop it throughout the story. *Crucial Point: No offense to VoiceofReason, NickyvMLP, CannedCream, and any other people that just so happens to be an earth pony or have an earth pony OC, I have NO negative feelings towards them, it's just Malbourne kingdom basically call them Filths for their own reasons, but more on that topic later in an eventual chapter.
