Author's Notes:

THIS IS IT, THE FULL RELEASE!

I'm rather happy how this one turned out and i hope all of you as well! Also please read the start of this as well, there is one thing i had to add that i forgot in the preview. ether way enjoy and see you all in the next chapter!

“I really don’t get you sometimes, Brandon…” that was the answer I got from Chrysalis after I told her my idea on what I may be doing later today…perhaps even sooner then I may well like.

It was later the same day, after I was released from the hospital, my girlfriend, giving me a really nice welcome home gift, to the time of a few hours of in the bed…and on the sofa, and in the shower to get dirty once more, before coming clean. Even though the bath was to wash ourselves off of our…fun time, it was also for the fact that Chrysalis gave me a scar, hidden under the white squared bandage on my neck. In the heat of the moment, she kinda went a bit too far, and bit me…hard on the neck. To me it was both pleasurable and painful, and it seemed she wanted to stop, but whatever that bite did to me…I’m not sure, It just gave me that boost I needed to keep going, even longer then before!
Of course, this left her feeling rather upset, and every time she kept trying to explain herself, or say sorry, I stopped her, telling her it was all okay, it didn’t hurt that much (Anymore after we got the bite mark clean) It just, I made a joke that maybe I shouldn’t be so good…that got me a clunk on the head. Looking at the clock, Silver would no doubt be on his way home soon, it was a little bit late from what the Changeling Queen told me, but that was no doubt because he maybe he went to the hospital to see if I was there. His personal guard was with him, Chrysalis told me she already knew of her, and the plan kinda back fired on Luna. Did that mean the one Luna picked was a Changeling? I didn’t know, nor would she tell me.

I was making pizza, a nice large one that would fill our bellies for the night, one half being filled with the toppings Silver would like, and half for me that I would like. Chryis, made a joke that she was filled with both the love I gave her, and something else. Picture her with her tongue slightly hanging out, and her eyebrows raising and lowering as I simply pushed her head away. Some may be wondering what she was talking about, was a confusing. Well that was an understatement, because duh, I knew I was. “Why do you want to talk to her, after you made it quite clear you don’t like her, for her views on the relationships and choices you made?”

If her questioning voice was not enough to voice her confusion on what I told her, her face pretty much was a dead give away. What did I tell her, to make her ask such a question? It was the fact that I was thinking about calling my mother to try and patch things up with her.

I rather didn’t like the idea myself truthfully, and it sounded much better in my head, then saying it out loud. The fact that mom thought that what I was doing was enough to go to a mental joint to see what was wrong with me was a rather large turn off for sure. It was rather in fact what Silver Arrow said to me on one of his visits. “She told me, she told me about what happened between you and your mother, she said something about a talk she had with Miss Lyra. Didn’t your mother hurt you when she said those means things to you? And you don’t like her for saying such things, for her views on ponies or anything that’s not human…so why it is different with Luna…why are you trying to defend her from hurting you, when she was trying to attack her?”

After thinking long and hard on what this young colt told me, I knew that he was right. Luna acted pretty much the same way my mother did, just in a sense, in a different way of light. Both didn’t want to give the other a chance to say anything, just up right attacking them because of what they were. Mom didn’t like Lyra simply because she was a pony, and Luna attacked Chrysalis…okay she did try to invade her home and mind controlled Shining Armor, so I will give her points on that. But I would’ve thought that if anyone wouldn’t know how giving someone a second chance should be…it would be her.

So why call my mother, well as I said, Silver was right. I was defending Luna, even though she attacked first…so my plan was as followed… “Silver was right,” I answered as I stopped shredding the cheese as I leaned against the counter. I had more then enough now, so I moved the bowl off to the side to clean off the mess I made and washed down the counter. “Why did I defend Luna for trying to attack you, but I cut all ties with my mother…You and her have a bad rep already with your past, but my mother never did with any other race. She just hated them because they were as such… I don’t know…” I sighed again and rubbed my eyes a bit not sure what to say, or even more what to put down. Again I didn’t really think this much through at all. “I guess in a sense, there is a small part of me that wants a relationship with my mother, and I want to show Silver that, just because there this one…big thing between her and I…if we can get pass those differences…

“That he should forgive Princess Luna…but not forget?” I only nodded at this as she sighed. “You are trying to make others happy to prove a point Brandon,” she pointed out as she came up to me and stood on her hind legs, her front hooves on the counter as she looked to me. “You are doing this in hopes that he will sit down and speak to Luna so they can air out any thing they have to say to one another. Truthfully…I don’t think you should, talk to Silver and explain what is going on. He is a young pony and he is seeing it as a base, Luna, his great aunt, shot his friend so strong it led him back in the hospital. An attack mind you, that was meant for me, to him, I did nothing wrong other then be a Changeling. I told him of my past, and much like you he thought I was somewhat in the right because I was doing it for my subjects. He even said how wrong I was…you ever gotten a lecture from a small colt…it’s rather strange to say the least!”

I let a small smile creep along my face as I heard her speak about Silver as such. It was true that the colt was rather mature for his age when it came to a few things, and it seemed that this was one of them. However, I had a feeling he was getting a few things from me, most likely the hate I had for others for their stupid hate of other races. I didn’t care much of it because it was my own life and such, however, what if Silver took it too far and somehow pissed off the wrong person. I would talk to him, but…still I wasn’t sure what I would say, winging it I guess was the only thing I could really do so. “Thanks for your input,” I answered after a bit, but then I added. “However, I think it’s best I do talk with my mother, I think I would really be a hypercritic if I didn’t do it but would want him to speak to Luna; don’t you think?”

“Hrm,” she hummed her answer as I only shook my head slightly. After getting everything all ready to go and popping it into the oven, I then told her looking back at her.

“I’ll call her up now, I’ll be in the other room…perhaps I’ll put it on speaker so you can listen?” she only gave a soft shrug of her shoulders, not really sure if she cared…or the fact she knew of me not really wanting to talk to my own mother without someone listing…wimp, yes I know.

Ether way, setting the phone on the table as I sat on the sofa, she coming to sit down beside me, her front legs in front of her body, as I said before much like a dog would…look I don’t know what to call this sort of sitting poster so from now on Imma call it the pony sit. Ether way, finding the phone number and hoping she didn’t change it. Ether way, finding the number, I pressed on it and waited for the dial tone to come up. After a short few seconds, an automatic voice box came up, asking if I would be willing to pay the extra fee to go through The Gate. To which I did, it was a small price anyway.

I brought my left hand up and curled my fingers around my chin, my right leg moving up and down as I waited, as I felt the soft touch of Chrysalis’s hoof along my shoulder. Looking over at her, I only saw her nod with a small smile, to which I returned. “Hello?” I blinked, hearing a male voice on the other side. This was her number, that much for sure, unless she was not using it and someone else got said number. “Who’s this, and why are you calling Alice’s number from an unknown number?” unknown…well it was from the other side of The Gate, could that have been the reason.

“Uh,” I stuttered for a moment before then saying. “I’m Brandon, her son; I just wanted to talk to her for a moment.”

There was this rather…eerier dead stillness on the other end of the phone line, I at thought first that we lost connection or something before I then heard his voice, that caused me to tingle up as if I was caught doing something I wasn’t supposed to do. “Alice doesn’t have a son, even more when they fuck animals!” he said it so slow, with such vile dripping from his words that I could feel each of them as they pierced into the room. I didn’t know what to say, or how to react to that before he kept on saying. “She doesn’t want to talk to you boy, and I don’t blame her, choosing a damn horse over your own flesh and blood!”

“H…hey now, wait a second!”

“No, you wait a second you damn traitor and four leg lover!” I saw Chrysalis twitch as if she was about to say something, but couldn’t even bring it up. “You go up and call all of rest of the family and go and say all these horrible things about her and don’t even allow her a chance to say anything, and then you think you can call her up like nothing happened? The fuck is wrong with you?”

“She the one that said there was something wrong with me and said…”

“I know what she said, and truthfully I believe her!” he spat back, my phone speaker ringing with his rage. “Damn asshole like you no doubt got dropped on his head a few times to find the flanks of a horse better then what you are! Ether way, as I said, she doesn’t want to talk to her ex-son anymore, so don’t bother calling back again fucker!” the click was what I heard next, followed by the tone of a discontinue call, leaving me just staring down with a shock look.

I couldn’t move or hear anything else, I felt my body slightly rock back and forth, no doubt my girlfriend lightly pushing me back and forth as if to get me to respond or something…but I couldn’t. Did…did she really mean those sort of things, did she really not want me as her son, was it all gone now because of this? I knew I said some things in anger but… I jerked when I saw my phone move, vibrating as a text came through. Looking at it, I came to see that it was a text from my mother cell phone, perhaps I should’ve called that and not her home phone, but as I opened the text and started to read…I just…I didn’t know what to feel.

Brandon, as I write this, I got a text from my boyfriend, David that you called, and he gave you some choice words. He told me that he told you that I didn’t want you, that you were my ex-son…to which I am saying he is right; I did say as such.

Even as I write this, thinking that it would cause me a great deal of pain, saying good bye to you in such a way, I find that I can easily say it with ease, that truly I don’t care. You made your choice, a wrong choice, and a choice that you would rather be in the comfort of animals then with your own kind. I always knew you were different…but I shrugged it off as just thinking you would be something great. But now I see that you are sick, I offered you a chance to be cured as such, but you threw my gift back to me. And now I realized, even more when you turned our family against me, that I must wash my hands of you.

I do not want you anymore.

From this day forth, I am not your mother, I am not your family, and I am not even of your blood. Do not call me, text me, or even come and see me, I want nothing to do with you.

I wish you all the luck in the worlds, but know this; I wish nothing to do with you.

-Alice.

I simply dropped my phone after reading these words, they cut deeper then anything I felt before, disowned, I was just disowned; over a text.

I heard the sound of magic, and could see from the corner of my eye, Chrysalis picking it up as she read over it, and then again before turning her head to look at me, such sadness, pity…I don’t know. “Brandon!” I didn’t even more my head up as I heard the joyful sound of Silver coming into the room, the door closing behind him softly…no I could see hear the sound of his hooves on the table, maybe his body guard? “They said they let you out so I…hey…is everything okay?” I looked over at him, seeing his confused look, he blinked as I could see myself in the mirror that stood a bit beside him, my face was blank…dead. Coming up behind him, I noticed the bat pony Shade, came beside him, she looked between him and me, and didn’t say anything of my face before I simply got up and went past both of them. “B…Brandon?”

“Sweetie…wait…” I heard the Changeling Queen answered as I just brought up my hand and said.

“Leave me be…I…need to be alone…”

“But…”

“I said leave me be!” I forced out more as I heard her gasp and stop as I turned to glare at her. “Or can’t I have that after just being disowned?!”

“She only looked away at me, not saying anything as Silver looked up at me when I looked down at him, he tried to say something, but Shade placed a hoof over his mouth. I looked to her as I said nothing as I slipped my shoes on…and left out of the house.

I just walked…I didn’t know where I was going, my head was down the whole time pretty much, hands in my pockets to make sure no one saw them shaking. Fall was in the air, and I somewhat cursed myself for not bringing a jacket…but at this point I really didn’t care. The words just kept flashing by my eyes, repeating over and over again…ugh! Why? Why the fuck did this have to happen?! I wanted to punch something, to kick something, scream, anything! But I didn’t and couldn’t! I simply stopped after a bit and sighed, the cold mist of cold air blowing before my face as I looked around, some beings of Canterlot looking at me, but paid me no heed as I looked ahead and saw a bar ahead. The Drunken Alicorn it was called, now I wasn’t the type to drink much…but, well you know the cliché of a guy pissed at the world…well…

I pushed myself into The Drunken Alicorn seeing how it was only the middle of the afternoon, not a lot of people were here anyone. There was a bar stand, where a pony was station at, cleaning the glass, he gave me a nod as I nodded back. A pool table, with a lone gryphon playing at it, seemed pretty good at it too. A few casino games out back, a harsh cruse coming from a human as he slipped passed me, must’ve lost all his money. “Don’t get much coin around this time,” I heard the bartender say to me as I looked over at him. A simply brown coat and darker brown mane male unicorn answered to me as he pointed to the sit at the stand. “Have one on the house…seems you need one.”

“Thanks…I’m not really a big drinker…mind giving me something light to start me off?”

“Rough day?”

“Rough whole time I’ve been here in a sense,”

“Ah…I thought I knew you from somewhere, you be that human that got out from them Diamond Dogs right?” he asked as I want and sat down and nodded. “Well let me just be the one to say thanks! I had a niece in there, been missing for over a year! Whatever you need, it’s on the house!”

“You don’t…”

“No, no! I do…that little lasso, the only family I have left after me wife passed, and my sister before her. When she went missing…I thought for sure…”

“I didn’t get her out…”

“You set them free and that’s enough in my books!” he passed me a drink in a small glass, maybe enough for two mouthfuls. “Stick around a bit more, our cook is starting soon and I’ll fix you up with some grab!” I tried to say something, but…I just took his good will and nodded, lifting the glass as I took a small sip. It was good, a bit tangy on the aftertaste, but good none the lease.

I didn’t know, nor care how long I stayed there, Shimmering Shot…I swear do all these ponies get there name when it comes to their talent…I mean bar keep…really? Spoke to me as I stayed there, the cook, just happened to be her niece as she came and personal thanked me herself. Like her uncle, so it seemed, she had the same color coat and even mane colored. If no one knew they were niece and uncle, they could mistake them for daughter and father, even thought Shimmering Shot looked much older, you could already see the wrinkles along his face. Her name being Lucky Clover, and it seemed her Cutie Mark…well you could guess, a four leaf closer…wow. Ether way, she told me she used to be in the cage that was next to mine, the one that had the blue unicorn with the cut off horn, seem she tried to escape and was rather good at magic. What shocked me was when she said it was a unicorn known as Trixie. I knew of the name, she was a well known unicorn and self proclaimed best magic user around, besides unicorns, seems Twilight herself proclaimed her as the Great and Powerful Unicorn in all of Equestria…which now that I think of it…could have been a troll seeing how Twilight beat her twice when she was a unicorn…eh didn’t care anyway.

She asked me if I had nightmares of the place and I shook my head no, seemed she did though…she was there far longer and they did horrible things to her. Both asked me why I was down, but I refused to answer it. They fed me and supplied me with drinks, light mind you, but as I kept drinking…even though they were light drinks…I felt myself slip into more of a haze like sate. After a while, I told them no more free stuff, I would pay for it afterward because I knew the way I was drinking…I didn’t want them running out and no profit.

It got busier after a time, I moved from table to bar stand, talking to some of the others as I listened to their tale, mostly a lot of them were here because of women problem. Hell I spoke to a few mares that had stallion problem! I guess in a sense…I was here because of women problem huh?

How long had I truly been there, I didn’t know, but taking true to what I said, I paid for the rest of my drinks, and I was getting pretty much light headed, I wouldn’t say that I was drunk, but well…I did at time slur with my words, or needed t sit down to keep the world from spinning too much. Shimmering Shot, cut me off after so long, he told me as he said I could have the last two bottles that I bought as my last drinks, that to a pony these were normal drinks, not light, it was just that human liquor were in fact much stronger then Equestrian’s pony mix. And the amount that I was drinking, (and taking out after so much pissing) was enough to leave me tipsy, as if I had one too many back home…which mind you I didn’t drink that much in the first place. His niece…I couldn’t even remember her name at that point from how much I drank, and she seemed fine by that. She would come over at times to make sure I was alright, and pretty much made sure that I drank a few glasses of water so I wouldn’t have that much of a hang over. While I was lightly sober before now, she would ask me what was wrong, but I nicely asked her to not ask. It was something I didn’t want to talk about…and then she said something that caused me to both blush and nearly drop my glass at that point. “I wouldn’t mind,” she answered leaning closer to my ear to whisper because of the loud noise of drinkers in the bar. “To make you forget about whatever is bugging you for a while up in my home…It’s just down the street…”

“Wh…What?” I shuttered looking at her as she only smiled and sat down in the seat next to me. her hoof soon trailing it’s way to my leg and moving up and down, as when she sat down, she came up to my shoulders. Only my head was turned to look down at the pony, which who had jus then leaned her body closer to my body, she nudging my arm so that it draped along her body, her coat soft to the touch.

“Well you did help get us out…even if it was just opening the cage and such…that bastard who shot you, because he hated humans, he only cared for himself and wanted to make sure you didn’t escape, I was surprised when he tried to take all the glory for him. some didn’t even want to correct him, or when others, myself included tried to say that it was because of you that we got out…they brushed us off, it was like the news wanted him to be the hero…but I know you are my hero…and I want to reward you as such…is that so wrong?” she asked as she moved her head closer toward my neck and softly nuzzled me, the bite mark was on the right side, and she was nuzzling to my left side.

“I have a mare friend,” I nearly whispered as she just pressed her lips along my neck, softly kissing and even sucking on the neck.

“She doesn’t have to find out you know…can be our secret…” I could nearly hear her smile as her hoof trailed down toward my crouch. “Beside…I’ve been wondering how…” I stopped her hoof as I looked away from her. Even though I couldn’t see her face, I knew it held that of confusion as I only shook my head.

“No…” I simply said. “I have a girlfriend, and I admit, you are a very good looking mare…however, I believed I’ve hurt her enough as is today…I don’t want to add more to that list.” I’ve heard stories of guys blaming the drink on them sleeping with the first women who throws themselves on them. I mean sure maybe if I wasn’t in a relationship, I would’ve taken her up on her offer…But… “I see…okay sweetie I understand,” she stopped and moved her hoof away before then turning my face to look at her. “But could I at least be permitted to a kiss?” she didn’t even wait for my answer as she leaned close and pressed her lips against mine.

It was a soft tender kiss, and I had to admit…I enjoyed it to the point that I even started to kiss her back, my hand moving behind her head as I pressed a bit more deeper into the kiss, as she broke it for a moment to breath, before pushing back into it. I didn’t know why I didn’t stop, but I even permitted her tongue to push into my mouth, as I heard the hoot and yells as some guys cheered on. When she pulled away and I did as well. I only looked away before hearing a soft giggle before she answered. “A pity…I bet you would’ve been good in bed!”

I think I need another drink…

Hour or so later, some noise had died down to the point where it sounded more like whispers and not the busy noise as it once way. My forehead pressed along the table as the last of my drinks were gone, I still didn’t want to go home, not to face Chrysalis or Silver after what I did. from the bar stand, I heard soft whispers followed by a pause and another whisper before something that sounded metal made it’s way over toward me. “Excuse me, are you Sir Brandon?” Sir Brandon…since when have I ever been addressed as Sir? Turning my head slightly to the side, I was greeted with a rather large winged pony. But feathers were not what greeted me, but a bat membrane. A dark blue as well as the unknown armored pony’s two tone color tail, and armor; a cat teal eye in the middle of his chest armor, and a held that reminded me that of a helm seen from old medieval movies, with what looked like a spine like membrane as the top. His body that of grey, and eyes gold, he reminded me of Shade…I guess this was Luna’s guard. Peering behind him, seeing two more of the same looking guards standing still as stone, and even behind that, the window. Darkness…wow, I was here truly a long time...didn’t seem like that, but what the hell I was buzzed as fuck at this point and maybe drunk, even though I didn’t want to admit it. “We were asked, that if we found you to bring you…”

“Am I in trouble,” I said looking away from him, arms under the table as I just slumped against it.

“Well…err…no Sir…”

“Am I being arrested or detained?”

“N…No?” he asked as if it was a question other then an answer.

“Do you have a warrant?”

“No.”

“Then piss off, I’m not leaving.” I said matter of fact. “Leave me to sober up in peace.” It may have been rude, but at this point I really didn’t give two sweet shits about anyone feelings.

There was no answered, other then the sound of him walking away, more whispers were heard as I heard the set of three walk out of the bar. I pulled out my phone and saw a butt load of missed calls and texts but I shoved it back into my pocket. I didn’t want to deal with it now, maybe later but not… “So, this is what you are reduced to? To drown yourself in the glass to make yourself forget?” I frowned; I knew that it was too good to be true to be left alone. Turning to give whoever was bugging me a piece of my drunken mind, I stopped; as Luna herself stood before me.

Her stare was firm and narrowed, looking only at me as I stared right back at her, it as like a staring contest, cept, I was losing because I would blink at times, mostly because my eyelids were heavy. “Get up.” It wasn’t a request, but an order as she looked at me. “We are in need of a talk.”

“I’m not leaving.”

“I’m sorry, did I start that line with, ‘If it pleases his highness,’?” she asked looking down at me as I frowned. “I said get up, or I’ll force you to get up!”

“Like how Lulu?” I asked looking at her as she frowned again as her horn glowed as I gasped feeling myself being lifted in the air; I couldn’t even wiggle out of her grip as one moment we were in the bar, the next in her room.

I don’t think I ever told anyone what her room looked like. It was rather large, hell I bet her room was as big as my living room alone, maybe a bit bigger! Large thick drapes covered her windows, making it darker then it already was, a dim pale blue light casting shadows inside her room, before she used her magic to light the fireplace up, changing the light blue, to a warm red like orange. Her room held the colors of her own, blue black and darker blue. A large bed to one side, dresser to the other side, and one more side pretty much her gaming area. A private bathroom off in the back closed off because of the door. She dropped me down on the ground, hurting my ass mind you, but I think she knew this as she simply walked to the door and opened it, saying loud enough for me to hear, and I think she knew. “Tell my sister I have returned, and that I shall be busy dealing with my friend. No one other then myself may leave or enter this room, am I understood?”

“Yes your highness!” came the respond.

“Also, give this to someone who is not busy,” she must’ve passed him something as I was standing up. “It is his address; I shall be calling his girlfriend soon, to explain that I found him and that he shall stay here until he sobers up; ask for a change of clothing.”

“If she asks to visit him?”

“She won’t, no go do as you were asked.

“Yes your Highness!” he responded again as she walked back in, closing the door. Looking to me as I stood up again, dusting myself off as if I had dust on me, but in fact I didn’t.

“You’re a mess,” was her first thing she said as I frowned.

“So what, I have every right to be a mess.” She made a tsk like noise with her teeth as she went over toward her fireplace, her phone resting above it as she started to dial a number. I knew how many rings without even hearing it…whoever she was calling, picked up after the first ring.

“I found him,” she said into the phone as she held it up to her ear as I went toward her window to look outside. “He’s drunk, I have him at the castle to sober up…Just drunk…Looks fine is saying it mildly; eyes bloodshot, and he can barely walk.” Screw you…all I have is a slight sway when I walk! “Truthfully, I think it would be best if he stayed the night…” I heard harsh buzz of someone raising their voice on the other side. “You really think Silver should see him as such?!” there was a pause before she went on. “I didn’t think so…listen Changeling…I know asking for my help to find him is…hard for you, after what I did to him, even though it was meant for you…” there was another pause as I looked back and could even see her smiling before she said. “Don’t worry, I’ve been working on my aim better, Changeling.” Another pause before Luna went on to say. “I’ve sent a guard to gather a set of clothes, I’m going to make him shower and then I’m going to have a talk with him…no, will not be trying to brain wash him…He is fine, as I said. No…it’s best you stay away from now…Trust is earned here, you trust me enough to tell me about what happened, and I thank you, now trust me once more…Believe me…Chrysalis,” I was surprised when she used her name, though it was more of a softer tone then when she would just call her changeling. “If I didn’t believe Brandon’s words about you, I’ve would’ve been leading the guards to arrest you as he was in the hospital. He is the only reason you are not behind bars.” Another short pause before Luna then answered. “He will be back within your grasp before lunch tomorrow; you may say what you wish of him then…are we in agreement? Good…Tell Silver to sleep well, I shall visit his dreams to tell him on how he is in my own words.”

She hung up the phone, leaving the room in stillness with words. She looked back to me, her eyes half closed at if she was annoyed, I guess she was as she went over toward the fireplace and just waited. I tried to say something, but I couldn’t, truthfully, I didn’t know what to say. “So…” I started to say, and even more I could hear the slur in my voice from the drinks I took. “Whatcha wanna talk about?” she only looked back at me, her eyes slightly narrowed as I blinked. “What?”

“This isn’t the first time you drank yourself to this sate...haven’t you?”

“You’re the one that did the Mind Meld,” I answered wiggling my fingers while making an ‘ohh’ noise. “So you should know!”

“Your right…and I do know, I’ve seen a bit of your past as I Dream Walk at times, seeing how in the land of Dreams, memories are much more easier to unlock.”

“Cheater…I can’t do that.” She only sighed a bit as she came over toward me as I looked away.

“I know that something happened, the Changeling Queen wouldn’t tell me what it was, but I know you’ve only drank as such, when those human females broke up, or you found out they were using you and…”

“Save it, wanna know? Mom disowned me because I’m dating a pony, oh no wait, a Changeling,” I scuffed looking at her. “Doesn’t matter to her anyway, she thinks I’m broken, think I need to be fixed; well fuck her!”

“You don’t mean…”

“Course I do!”

I jumped out of the chair as she backed away. “Course I mean what I say, fuck her Luna, fuck her down to the hellish hell, hell, of Hell for all I care, let her burn for who cares how long! She got rid of me as if I was a broken toy…SHE GOT RID OF ME!” I screamed as I was shaking in utter rage, was it because of the drinks…I don’t know. “And over a damn text! I bet she was close of putting ‘LOL’ near the end too, bet her and that David guy has their dates hating everyone else that isn’t human!”

“Brandon…”

“A…And you know what the worst part is?” I asked laughing a bit as I walked off toward a wall my back to her. “The Worst and funny part is, that I called her up to make peace so that Silver would start talking to you. If I could live with the fact that my mother is nothing more then a low down rotten piece of mother fucking…” I stopped my rant after I felt something wrap around my waist. I looked down to see Luna’s arms wrapped about me as she sat down and pulled me down to her, just hugging me to her saying nothing. “I…I just…why can’t she understand…?” I asked bowing my head down as my body was turned, being embraced by her arms and wings as I just let everything go, just crying as the tears slid down my cheeks.

I was held in her hug for who knew how long, her warm feathers wrapped about me, her muzzle softly rubbing against my neck as I just cried, muttering at times about things even I couldn’t understand. After a while, a knock came to the door, making her soon stop hugging me as she went to answer. She came back with neatly piled folded clothing, mine as she sat it next to me.

“She had made her choice, Brandon,” I heard Luna say as I rubbed my eyes. “As much as it may pain you to hear this…you may have to live with the fact that she doesn’t want you, that she doesn’t want anything to do with you because of the choices you made…because you are different then what she wanted you to be.” I felt my head lift up a bit, making me see into her own watery eyes, a soft tender smile on her face. “For you to try and talk to her, to try and have a relationship because of that…this proves you are the bigger one here, but this,” pointing to me as I looked down. “This isn’t what makes you the winner. Don’t drink yourself away to numb the pain; don’t stare at the bottom of an empty glass simply because you wonder ‘why’. As painful as it is, it is done and over now…let it be.” She then stood up and said. “Come, I shall offer you a room for the night that has a bathroom, take a shower and drink some water…we shall talk more in the morning when you are sober.”

I took what she said to heart as I followed after her, as she took me to the room I would be using for the night. It was plain in a sense, but rather nice. She bided me a good night, and left, leaving me alone for a small bit. Sighing ether way, I made my way to the bathroom, stripping myself to get in the shower, allowing the warm water to cast over my body, and allowing me to think more clearly. Chrysalis and Silver…I would need to say sorry to them the time I get back there…I shouldn’t acted the way I did that’s for damn sure…

After my shower was done, and slipping on the clothing that was brought to me, I made my way outside of the bathroom to get some nice need rest, to try and sober up and get ready for the next morning…however I stopped dead in my tracks as I saw someone, someone I didn’t think or didn’t know why he, HE of all people would be in my room.

He was looking outside the window as if he owned the room, his bond hair covering much of his face as he wore a black tux like vest. His eyes turning to look at me, as Prince Blue Blood and I shared a single eye glance. My hands clenched at the ready, as I knew that this fucker was here for a reason, did he have a chance now to get rid of someone who… “Ah…you’re out good…” I blinked, he didn’t sound…smug, or gave me the hateful glare like he did before hand. The way he was looking at me, it wasn’t as if he was looking down at me…like I don’t know, I was his equal. “Brandon…was it?” he asked as he moved away from the window. “Please…can…Can we speak, Stallion to Stallion?”

The fuck?
