Sound of Madness: 1

I own nothing besides my Ocs, MLP FiM is owned by Hasbro, I do not own any pictures here or in other places, I leave credit to the owners of such pictures. This story is dark for a reason, there will be romance down the road but not for a while, if you cannot comprehend violence do not read. This this will have comedy later on but like romance, not for a while, I have to set the stage after all :D, This will perhaps have clop later on you will be told of this via warning before such happens. I am a first time writer (be easy on me), all constructive criticism is welcome. If this turns out to be popular I will continue this series. If you see any major grammar or spelling mistakes please alert me, I will attempt to correct such mistake.

Sound of Madness

I have been here in this pointless abyss for an untold amount of time, I don't know if it has ben mere seconds or uncounted years, I can no longer even know the difference in this place, as if I had ever known. All I know is that my sanity is stretched to its limit. I hear the voice, he tells me to unleash my power unto others. I no longer know what is right or wrong my only hope is to get out of here, anywhere would be better than this hellish place. He shows me pictures, images, telling me all that will be given if I listen. But I don't... Why? I no longer know only that he does not have good intentions towards me. There is nothing to do besides hear him. Even if he did go would it be better than this? To be stuck here alone,allowing what little of my sanity to leave me. Even the voice brings company.

I wish I knew what this place was doing to me, not just mentally, but physically. I look upon my body and see strange things. Parts of my body appears different from the rest. On the back of my left hand is a single drop of blood that appears to signify something greater than it seems. On the palm of my left hand is a tiny hole, that seems different from the rest of the wounds of my body, as if it will never get better. Even more surprising my right hand appears to be another beings hand, longer fingers,blood red, almost as if the hand of a demon. I can't help but think the voice has something to do with this. My left leg, or what I presume to be a leg, has missing skin almost as if it has been dissolved, or destroyed. Allowing me to see the muscles and veins under it. Something tells me this is not how it should be, but I am unsure on what that is. Perhaps the part of my brain the has some remembrance? My chest does not seem to be in better condition. I can see my rib cage, protecting what little of my body has yet to be destroyed. I do not dare touch my face, unsure how horrified I would be, upon realization that nothing of me is unscarred.

Is there no escape? By this point I no longer remember anything from my past life, or if life even exists. For all I know this could be all there is. But if that was true then how can there be others to unleash my power upon? Nothing makes sense anymore... As if it ever did.

I can go no longer, either I give into this things demands or I find a way to escape. I can take it no longer, to see nothing but darkness, to hear the voice, to see images that are not my own in my mind. I have had enough. I REFUSE to roll over to this creäture. I would rather it kill me now then suffer another second of this. But there is no escape is there? So what can I do? My only hope is some divine intervention that will never come. All that is left is to embrace the madness... And hope for the best.

The voice, seemingly sensing how I feel, brought an image in my mind of a creäture he called "human", according to him I am one of these beings. He calls them pathetic, saying I am one of the few exceptions. He even shows me another image, this one supposable me. I saw a fairly good looking man, brown hair down past his ears, with a smile on his face. Two blue eyes that appear as if they could peer into your very soul, see your faults, and accept you for them, but at the same time able to make you feel confidence in yourself. He had no scars or unruly marks. I was confused on how such a thing could be me, as I was covered in scars, and there is no way my face is that way with the pain I'm feeling. The voice laughs evilly, as that image disappears, another appears. An image of how I seem to be now.I was not surprised at how my body looked as I had gotten used to the disgusting mess, but what did surprise me was my face... It seems I was no longer the fairly good looking young man, no now my face as pale, as if all the life had ben sucked ou t of it. But most disturbing were my eyes... One looked completely normal, kindly, but the other...was Dark as the abyss surrounding me with a pinprick of red in the center.

The voice laughed at my displeasure, for it takes great joy in the misery of other being... I could never obey such a monster. The voice believing I have had enough sunk back into the seclusion of my mind. At this point I broke... What have I done to suffer such a fate? Did I do such horrible things in a past life? Or is this punishment for simply existing? My mind tumbles around with the idea, unsure of what to think. Before I can think much more on it I see a dim light in the distance, or what I perceive as light, for how can I call it such if I have never seen such a thing before? I move towards the light, not knowing how I am doing such. But does it truly matter when there is a chance of freedom? Before long I reach the light, it slowly begins to envelop me. This is better then the voice, I no longer care what this light will do, be it better or worse, a bad chance is better than no chance at all. Luckily it is for the better, as I can feel me leaving this wretched place, for anywhere but here is better.


Survival of the Fit Enough: 2

This is where I start giving personality to my character instead of just "setting the stage" also this will have cursing, crude humor, and shity jokes, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.      

Survival of the Fit Enough   

I gasp in pain as I slowly awaken, head throbbing, trouble breathing, no idea what's going on. As soon as I recall all "the voice" has put me through, I wonder who was my savior? Was it myself? Because if it is that is real damn awesome, you know able to summon upon my divinity is in my top 10 of "cool shit".

"Wow I sure am a lot different here then I was in purgatory" I say, not able to come up with a better word for such a place. It seems that place made me immensely depressed or some shit because I seemed to be a whole different person here then there. But hey, I'm not complaining about not being a depressing asshole. At this point I realize... For lack of a better word... I'm fucked.

I just got dropped of in the middle of the forest no idea how I got here or how to survive, or even how to wipe my ass without fucking up in some bizarre way, for all I know half the plants here could try to fuck me over in some way or another, I never trusted plants to begin with... Or did I? Well Fuck it I'm not trusting them starting now, those blue flowers over their look like they could kick my ass... I think.

"Well no time like the present" I yell out to the wilderness quickly realizing the stupidity of announcing myself to my less than hospitable neighbors. "You know what... fuck you guys I don't care if you come out and try to fuck me over I've had enough of this shit". Soon after saying this I realize my self in all my glory, that I am not wearing any clothes... "fuck it I don't give a rats ass if you see my peaker or not" I shout out again to my asshole neighbors, I don't even have to know them to know they are assholes, but then I slowly realize those asshole will likely eat me, so I shut up.

During all this time I had been walking around aimlessly not paying attention to anything except how I believe my neighbors to be... Completely ignoring my open wounds and screwed up features. You'd be surprised how hard it can be to notice yourself bleeding out. I guess talking to myself helps with pain? Because now it feels like I just got kick in the balls... Except you know without getting kicked there... OK what I mean IS I am in so much pain that... You know fuck it I don't have to explain myself to my mind, that's just silly.

Alright as I now begin to understand, I don't pay attention. It just seems to be a simple fact, like how I can't conjure magical items for absolutely no reason, if I can that is real damn cool, but... Turns out this is a bad thing when you're in an unknown place with no idea of the effects of things here... Like fucking plants. Like those blue flowers I saw earlier.. As soon as I stumbled into those assholes I began feeling much weaker. Beyond weak, I felt helpless. My own worst fear is being in acted upon by FUCKING FLOWERS. Soon afterward I pass out from... Well hell I don't know being tired? What ever happened I just knew it would fuck me over in some way... God I hope the voice doesn't come...

Twilight Sparkle 3rd person

Twilight was quietly enjoying a book of (GUESS WHAT) facts about different species, at the moment she was reading up on something rumored as "humans" she usually did not indulge upon such unlikely tall tells but she had been ordered by Princess Celestia, by reasons she did not know. But she would not dare question the Princesses motives, her devotion was at time seen as dramatic but not much more than any of the other Princesses subjects. Perhaps being the sun goddesses personal student called for more devotion then with the princesses other subjects.

Twilight was nearly done with reading about the description of how a human looks when Spike burped from across the room, signifying a message from the princess. Before Spike, the green and purple baby dragon, could even say a word Twilight dashed over and read the message for she knew such an unusual request was not without reason.

Dear my most faithful student,There has been a disturbance believed to be in the Everfree forest, I advise you to take the Elements of Harmony into the forest to find such a thing.

From Princess Celestia.

Twilight knew for Celestia to almost order Twilight to do this must mean that this is truly important, not that anything Celestia says isn't, but cool her earlier request to research humans have something to do with this? She had to know so she quickly went off to her friends to gather them fo such a venture.

Human 1st person

"No leave me alone, I refuse to listen to you" I scream the violent voice in the reaches of my mind. Here I was trapped in the eternal abyss, at least this time there was hope for freedom, or at least freedom in death.

The voice yet again, preferring to communicate with images, revealing my worst nightmares. But... I was angry. It could not get away with this. I focused my energy into one form, a form of light. Hoping that this will lead to my freedom, or at least cause it to shut up for a while. It seemed to be working as I began to see things in my real eyes. As you can imagine being sent back to that place because of asshole flowers really pissed me off.

"Fuck you asshole flowers I'm goanna... goanna..." I stopped as I realized I was out of breath, as if all the energy had been taken away again. "fucking... Flowers" I take several minutes to recuperate, mustering the strength to fuck over that patch of flowers. After a sufficient amount of time I crawled over to the flowers, smiling evilly, knowing I would have my revenge. I mean come on they're damn flowers, I doubt there is much more they could do to me. So in anger, I rip up those assholes, they got what they deserved. But... Turns out these flowers are BEYOND the asshole category and more into the own worst enemy". Turns out they made incapable of speech. Now while this would not bother many people it does me as... Well as you may have noticed if I don't complain out loud the pain from my wounds surfaces, talking seems to be the best medicine for me. But those "things" have taken that away.

"gurhhhhh" I scream although what I meant to say was "FUCKING FLOWERS". But I doubt my neighbors would give a shit whichever I said as long as I rolled over and let them eat me. Speaking of neighbors...

I saw a big ass cat come out of the surrounding growth, now I'm thinking "OH SHIT A JUNGLE CAT" but really after looking a second longer it is even worse. It has a scorpion tail. Now this day just gets better and better. The "cat" looked real hungry so I can only guess what it has in mind. "fuck me.." Which translates to "brughh". But you know what? I refuse to die to a fucking kitten, in fact, if I ever see a cat again I'm going to-... At this point the kitty slashes at me, it seems to have covered quite a bit of distance in the time it took me to think about this.

But even more strangely, I feel an unknown power surging through me, as if my spilled blood gives me strength. By this time, I know there is no hope for my survival, even so I put up my left hand in an attempt to stop this cat from killing. Now imagine how surprised I am to suddenly see the cat seize up, as if all its muscles had stopped working, at the point of my hand? Now this is definitely in the top 10 of "cool shit I can do".

"Haha pussy cat you don't have shit on this" also meaning "Gurhhhhhhurhh". The longer I kept my palm towards the cat the weaker I felt. As I take my hand away the cat just gets up and run as if saying "fuck this". I collapse on the ground keeping up a tough demeanor until I'm sure it is gone. As I look on the ground in exhaustion, I notice the blood like tattoo on my hand glowing. This is all I need to feel confident that it had something to do with my survival.

It seems doing that did a bad toll on my body as I seem to have a lot less blood then when I awoke. I'm going to assume it was what ever the fuck I just did that caused that instead of my bleeding out on the ground, because if it's not, I'm fucked.

I then feel myself drifting away, I just hope I will wake up from were ever I'm going.  


First Impressions: 3

I have a good idea for my characters past but I would like suggestions for adventures once everything calms down ( it will be quite a while till then I hope) but the sooner I get suggestions the more ideas I will be able to put together for future chapters. Thanks and don't forget to rate!

First Impressions

`

Mane six 3rd person

"umm... Twilight are you sure it is safe?" whispered a nervous Fluttershy, they hadn't even gotten to the forest and Fluttershy was already terrified.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you, I'll knock out any monsters in 10 seconds flat" Rainbow Dash yelled proudly, surprising Fluttershy as she gasped an "EEP".

"Now now sugercube, there be no reason to be scared, we'll protech yeh'" Applejack told Fluttershy, while casting Dash a disapproving look.

The mane six stood outside the Everfree forest, they had decided to meet near Fluttershys,well Twilight had sent a message via Spike not leaving much room to debate if they had even wanted to, since her house was the closest to the forest. Twilight had just told them of Celestia's message, while adding in it might have something to do with "humans". As soon as Twilight had finished they heard yelling not to far off. Causing Fluttershy to lose what little confidence she had.

"Ohhh I bet "Humanes" LOVE party's!" Pinkie Pie said defying the laws of physics as she disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Come on slow pokes" yelled Pinkie from the under brush of the forest.

"Pinkie comes back, we don't know what we're dealing with!" Twilights calls went unnoticed as Pinkie was already gone. "We need to stick togeth-" Twilight then realized her it was going on deaf ears as Dash had given chase, while Rarity and Applejack had convinced Fluttershy to go in.

"sigh"

Human 1st person

It was strange, as soon as I passed out I remained aware in a way. As if my body was in use while I was in here. It seems "it" has taken control. Well this sucks. At least it isn't here to torment me.

While I can't tell what I'm doing, I can FEEL what my body is doing. I discovered this from a strong blow to the chest, likely breaking a few ribs. I could feel the voices anger, as if it were my own. I felt my strength returning as if the ribs were being put back into place, but what being has the power to do this? And where would it get the energy? I'm surprised my body is still moving after all I've gone through, then again I shouldn't be surprised of what can happen here.

I grunted in pain, what ever it is doing with my body it sure is pissing some stuff off. Then the pain stopped, the familiar strength was returning. But even more than before. Then I felt nothing... As if it had all stopped.

Rainbow Dash 3rd person

Dash looked down on the forest from above, in a clearing of trees she noticed a bloody mass, her curiosity peeked she flew in closer. She gasped in horror as she saw what Twilight described as a human, except horribly disfigured. It had many pieces of missing skin, allowing one to view the organs beneath. She nearly barfed from the horrible image, before she noticed the evil looking red claw, it could cut a creäture into ribbons. But never one to back down, even when it'd be the correct thing to do, she moved in closer, hiding in a nearby tree.

The creäture moved, obviously awakening. It strangely stood on its back 2 hoofs, it also seemed to be missing a lot of fur, as the only places with it were its head and "other areas" Dash then got embarrassed, as it seemed a bit like peeping, as pony's were able to hide their parts well.

Without warning the monster stared right into her eyes, one kindly and blue, the other a dark abyss. For the first time in ages, Dash felt Genuine fear.The human smiled evilly, inviting Dash into a fight taking an aggressive stance. Dash, still never one to back down, even in fear, rocketed into the human. Hearing the resounding crack of many ribs. The human got right back up and... Smiled. "AGHHHHHHHHHH" Dash yelled as she felt the very life being drained from her, it was the most painful thing she had ever felt. A thousand red hot needles pierced her skin. As suddenly as it had happened it stopped. When dash opened her eyes she saw AJ, Rarity, and Fluttershy, attempting fight the monster. Even with 3 on 1 the monster inflicted many wounds, some fatal. They put up a good fight but for every wound they inflicted upon it, it gave back that times 10. It had had enough, without a seconds consent it begin sucking Dash's friends dry of their life to heal its own wounds. Luckily a magical essence surrounded it, Dash saw Twilights horn glowing, but knowing the strength of the creäture, Dash knew Twilight couldn't hold it for long.

Twilight was faltering, that is all it needed to break free, in seconds it bounded across the distance between them and grabbed Twilight by the throat, lifting her in to the air. Twilight gasped as her windpipe was constricted, the thing was toying with her, it could have killed her in a single blow. Dash Taking Advantage of its distraction, used the last of her strength to propel herself towards it. Before it could react Dash nailed it right in it head with her hoof, such a thing would have killed a lesser creäture but managed to only knock it out. Dash collapsed near the creäture, to tired to care.

Pinkie Pie 3rd  person Pinkie wanted to help her friends, but her fabled "Pinkie senses" disagreed. So she watched as the humane fought her friends. Right before she had had enough Dash charged at the humane choking Twilight. Pinkie let out a sigh of relief. But she still did not interfere, she had a feeling she shouldn't.

Human 1st person

I awoke with a headache, I wish I didn't have to feel like shit because the voice got all pissy. As I looked at my body, it appeared many of my wounds had healed,my chest was covered by a thin sheet of skin, no longer showing my organs. While my leg was covered in scabbing blood, looking a lot better than when I blacked out. What was it fighting? As if to answer my question I heard soft crying coming from nearby. Looking around I saw many colorful pony's that looked, for lack of a better word, fucked up. I felt immense guilt... It may not have been "me" that did it but it was still.. "Me".

I now took the time to see from where the crying was coming from. It seemed to come from a yellow bloody mass, with a blood caked pink mane. As it saw me stand up it whimpered. I would have attempted to soothe it, but it would have only come across as growls. Actions speak louder than words. I slowly approached the pony like creäture, its all too big eyes growing wider as she let out a tiny "EEP". I didn't know exactly what I was doing, but it felt like the right thing to do. I felt incredibly weak again, but I couldn't stop , for what ever I was doing was healing its wounds.

***

I've given so much of myself that I can't even walk in a straight line. There were only two of them left, the rainbow manned one and purple unicorn. I started with the rainbow one, figuring it has more serious wounds due to her shallow breathing. I gave the last of my strength to this pony- no wait, Pegasus, I hadn't really been paying attention to such details, as I was far too tired. This next one could quite easily kill me if I'm not careful.

Oh no... I had been so focused on everything else I hadn't noticed its crushed wind pipe. I put my ear to where I perceive its heart to be, to hear... Nothing. It had only been a minute since I had gotten up p.. Perhaps it is not too late? I don't know what I was doing, but at the moment it seems better to rely on instinct. I proceeded to put my left hand over where the heart likely is... I pushed my power directly into that spot... With satisfaction I heard a faint beat... But its windpipe was still damaged... I gave the last of my strength, life, and blood, to fixing it enough so it could breath. By this time all the other pony's had gathered around. With a single smile I collapsed.


Blast from the Past: 4



Alright I'm going to try to upload one chapter a day, if I follow this rule you will see this the day after "first impressions".Oh by the way you will learn a bit about the past of the "human" if you didn't read the description, you will also learn his name.

Blast from the Past  

The voice was beyond pissed, in fact it seemed like if it could it'd kill me without a seconds thought. But, since it couldn't without fucking itself over, it settled with tormenting me. Again it showed me bloody images, but one appeared over and over. A young child, soaking wet and cold, with blue eyes crouching over a younger boy, possibly his brother. The young one was caked in frost, while the older was trying, without luck, to bring back his brother. The voice seemed to hold this one in high regard calling it the one "where we first met". How romantic. I was honestly curious about what happened, perhaps unlock some of my past. But do I truly want to know? The voice, like always did what I didn't want. I slowly saw a world appear in the dark abyss. I closed my eyes a little fearful of what happened. I was no longer in any pain, in fact I felt full of energy.Why would I be in pain? I no longer heard the voice, wait- what voice? I should go find my brother, he said he wanted to play today.

After many minutes of futile searching through the snow I grew worried, it isn't like him to avoid me. I searched all his known hiding places, I was very worried now. "John this isn't funny" I yelled hopping he would hear me and come running. Where did he say he wanted to go? Was it the apple tree? No, I was just there perhaps the- like that it hit me with a ton of bricks. The lake

. I ran as fast as I could. Why did he want to play by the lake?

***

"Alistar can we play by the lake tomorrow?" My brother begged. "If it is cold enough, I don't want the ice breaking under your little feet"

"I'm not little, I'm a big boy"

"You sure are, now lets go to bed, it gets cold at night." We had to take shelter in our parents home, we were holed up due to unfortunate circumstances involving our parents death. Because our parents possessed magical powers the Magical Congress took it upon them self's, from the very kindness of their hearts, to educate us poor wilders. They would be coming before long but we couldn't run anywhere to survive the winter. The best I can do is to spend this time with John, as we will likely never see each other again.

"I'm cold" "I'll go get some more blankets" When our parents were alive it was always warm enough, something to do with magic. So they didn't have much need for AC. I went down te hall from where we were staying, my room. All the other rooms were destroyed, by the experiments of my father. I didn't love him, in fact I hated him. He never paid any attention to my brother or I. My mother on the other hand made up for it. I only wish she hadn't been lost in dads crazy experiment. I don't know much about it only that it involved blood magic. The council didn't know this, if they did we would be killed without question.

I returned with the blankets I had found in the hall closet. Just enough to keep him warm . I will have to be cold but, anything for my brother. He was all I had left.

***

I snapped back to the present, due to me reaching the ice covered lake. I saw John happily, playing on it. I heard an enormous crack, as he disappeared.

"No..."

I quickly took off my clothes that will weigh me down, I sprinted across the ice, the ice not able to take my weight, broke under me. With part of my lower body in the freezing water,I crawled across the ice to where my brother disappeared. I dived, I was stunned by how freezing it is. Without taking time to recuperate I looked for my brother. Mybody already so numb I couldn't feel anything. I felt around for him, anything, something to grab onto. I felt a coat, but unable to tell if it was my brothers or not due to the cold. I pulled, feeling a reassuring weight around it. The reassurance didn't last long, as It was too heavy. Filled with dread I refused to give up. I scrambled over the already frosting over hole made by my brother, with strength I didn't know I had, I nearly threw him over myself in a rush to get him to air. I gasped in breath as I reached the surface. I smiled in triumph, but that didn't last long as I spied my brother. He was blue, frost covered him from head to toe. Feeling adrenaline coursing through me, I grabbed him by the collar, pushing him towards the parts of the lake completely frozen through.

I was over taken by fear for my brother, for how can I save him?

I gasped in pain as I was brought back to reality, well, the reality of purgatory. The voice cackled evilly, I didn't pay much attention to it as I relived the memory of my brother in my mind. I curled up in ball, attempting to remember what happened afterwards. Was he saved? Despite everything I went through I took some solace in finally knowing my name. Alistar. I was not familiar with other names but it still seemed strange to me. The voice left me again, as I seemed t be regaining some form of consciousness.


Introductions: 5



Sorry about the short last chapter, I made up for it by making this one longer. Enjoy!

Introductions

"urhhhh" I felt quite a bit of pain, but nothing I wasn't used to. I am a badass after all. As I tried to sit up something was wrong. Something was holding me down. I don't know what they have done to me but, being strapped to a table is very... Bad for me.

I began breathing rapidly. I pushed against the restrains. My skin must be weak because after this bit of work, I felt blood down my leg. I didn't care, I just didn't care. I felt that all too familiar strength, I suppose I take power from blood. I pulled my left arm with all my might, I heart a snap as the restraints were breaking. This seemed to get the attention of the beings that brought me here. As I heard heavy hoof steps, I completely broke my left arm free.

I saw a pony, a unicorn to be precise, levitating a syringe in the air. I knew what it had in mind. It seemed about to speak but I didn't give it the chance, I grabbed the syringe and stapped it into the unicorns side. I injected what ever it was. At that moment many more pony's came into the room. I paid no attention to them as I began work on my right. The red claw was now free. I didn't want to use it on any of them, I will try to bluff my way out. The pony's seemed hesitant to come and stop me, that is when I recognized them. They were the pony's I had hurt. I immediately stopped. I began slowly laying back down. Be it guilt, or regret, I would not hurt them. I saw the unicorn I had injected about to pass out. I gave one sheepish grin as he passed out. It was meant as an apology but the yellow pony with the Stetson hat didn't seem to think so.

"So after you knock 'em out you don't even say 'yer sorry?" It was more a statement then a question. My attempt to answer this is by pointing to my mouth and growling. I then began showing acting out myself writing on paper. They didn't seem to understand. Ugh fuck what am I going to have to do?

I leapt up, surprising them, I heard a familiar "EEP" then a yellow mass disappear behind the others. They must have thought I was going to attack as they all took a fighting stance. Well, all but a strange looking pink pony. "Hey I bet he is trying to tell us something, maybe he got his tongue cut out or, maybe he doesn't know how to speak. Can you say pink come on can yah can yah" I was honestly amazed on how any creäture could speak so quickly and not even take a breath in between. In my amazement I almost forgot what I got up for. But I remembered as soon as I saw a nearby quill, must be used to fill out documents. I then showing myself writing again with the quill, they seemed to understand. I sighed in relief, as it would get real damn hard to communicate otherwise. It is also great I'm left handed.

The purple unicorn brought me paper, she quickly got away as soon as I had it, I couldn't blame her for being scared of me. If I saw myself I would probably be scared as well, in fact I'd be terrified if a monster with a red claw, different color eyes, blood mark, and had nearly choked me to death. Yeah I'd be real damn scared. "Any questions" I wrote on the paper, they were obviously surprised I could write, as I heard a few gasps and a tiny "EEP", really is there anything it isn't scared of?

"What is your name" said the rainbow haired Pegasus, she seemed to be the bravest, and most prideful.

"Alistar, what are yours" They seemed to honestly be shocked again, I mean a creäture that can write has a name GASP. I know I'm being unfair but really, I was getting tired of this shit. It was here I noticed that the knocked out staff was still there, beside my table/bed. I pointed to them, they shuffled a little embarrassed that they had forgotten. But the pink one seemed unfazed. "Oh him, he'll be alright, in fact when he wakes up he will be SO happy to know that we resolved this, oh yeah, I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, but that names no fun, so call me Pinkie Pie, that names fun that's what I like fun fun fun! Oh, your new here and you know what that means? You get a surprise party, oh but it wont be a surprise now that you know. Well I'm sure it can be just as surprising if you know about it or not. I also work at sugercube corner, I bake, do you like baking? I love baking" I was again shocked,  why am I shocked anymore? I should really just go with the flow. Who am I to question if this pony is able to talk at the speed of light?  I smiled acknowledging her introduction.

Next up was a prim and proper looking unicorn. She had white fur, err hair, hell I don't know. With a long flowing purple mane, she looked quite stuck up, but I'm not here to judge. "Hello, a pleasure to meet you. My name is Rarity. Darling you must allow me to make you some clothes, for you simply can't go around in that dreadful hospital gown. Come by my shop the Carousel Boutique when you want me to take your measurements". I smiled again, it was the best way to show a hello without taking the time to write it.. Well at least I will finally get some clothes. I'd rather not walk around with my junk out facing against the wraith of nature.

Next was Miss -, ah fuck it I don't know enough about them to come up with snappy names. As weird as it seems, I now realized that all these females had seen my junk during the fight, while for an instant I was proud it quickly turned into embarrassment as I no longer thought of them as animals but... People.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, faster flier in Equestria, maker of the famous Sonic Rainboom, and future member of the wonderbolts" Alright, she was definitely the most prideful as she puffed out her chest as she spoke, trying to make a good impression. I chuckled a little at how hard she was trying. Then there was that familiar yellow Pegasus, the rest of them seemed to almost push her towards me.

"Umm... Hi I'm Fl...sh." I gave her a quizzical look to signify I couldn't hear her, she said a little louder. "I'm Fluttershy" I was barely able to catch it but I nodded as she seemed to be very scared of me, I didn't want to make her anymore uncomfortable.

Next up was the one with the Stetson hat, I was honestly curious about her as she had a southern accent, something hard to find in the north out in the middle of the woods.

"Why mah name's Applejack, I work at apple acres buckin' apples, any apples you see likely came from mah farm. They be the best you'll find dang near anywhere" I nodded, my curiosity nearly satisfied, all that was left was the purple unicorn. I almost didn't want to know about her as I had well... Killed her. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, Princesses Celestia's student..." I waited for her to say more but she didn't, still can't say I blame her, I did kill her after all. "Any other questions?"

"Do you like party's? I LOVE party's, they are like the best thing ever, oh why is one eye different from the other? Is that a human thing?"

"I like party's, I don't know why one eye is different from the other, I don't remember much."

"Why can't you speak, you dumb or something?" "No, I'm not dumb, Dash, flowers did this" "What kind ah' flowers"

"The blue kind, I walked into them, they caused me to pass out and feel weak... In anger I ripped them up, but before that they made it so everything I say comes out as growls"

"Don't worry Alistar, I'll get Zecora to make an herbal bath to fix that" It had been the first time in a while since Twilight had spoken, seems she was finally warming up to me. YAY. I nodded my head and gave a smile to show I was thankful. I don't know how a bath will fix this but, fuck it, this place doesn't make sense anyway.

"Why'd yah' fight us"

I sighed, this was honestly a bit personal, but seeing as I had killed one of them, and nearly the others, they deserved to know. But not now, I need to wait at least until I can talk. "That wasn't me, I will explain more clearly when I can talk, also before you ask, I don't know how I did what I did. I didn't really know what I was doing" They nodded, but they did not understand what I meant. "umm... Why did you break out" I heard the quite voice of Fluttershy. Can't she talk louder? It'd be a lot easier on me. "I have a fear o being restrained, or unable to move. It seems to connect in someway to my past"

"What do you eat, If you do not mind me asking" "I am Omnivorous, I can eat just about any thing I come across, but not grass or leaves like what I assume you pony's eat, if I don't eat meat I will have to get the Nutrients I need from a wide variety of plants. Which will be quite troublesome"

Awkward silence is awkward. I continued writing "Don't worry, I wont eat you, you don't look that tasty anyway" This seemed to break the ice just enough for a few light chuckles, whew that was close. Should probably be more careful about who I tell. "If you don't mind I'd like something to eat, and some sleep as I'm quite tired... And tell them not to restrain me again. I likely would have hurt someone in my escape if you all hadn't shown up." Some nodded, some said "Ok" one said something I couldn't understand (DAMNIT FLUTTERSHY).

I waved them out, as soon as they left, I feel asleep. I was quite tired. My stomach can wait.


Song and Dance: 6

Alright I add a bit of music to this, I give credit to the makers of the songs (you'll see which ones). Also if I start getting ahead in my writing I'll start uploading more than one a day. Also tell me if you prefer longer chapters taking longer to write, or shorter ones that I can absolutely put up everyday.

Song and Dance

I had just gotten out of the hospital, the staff, to say the least, wanted me gone as soon as possible. Once I was able to move without bleeding they practically pushed me out the door. Maybe I shouldn't have stabbed that guy? Well either way, in the time I was there, I became much closer to the 6 mares I had nearly killed. You know saying it like that makes me sound like a complete psychopath. Ah well if I am one I'll just kill myself. As bad as that sounds as far as I can tell from my memories, I have nothing to live for. Perhaps it is a bit early say that but, I will not allow the voice to take control of me again, I have grown too close to all of them for that to happen. I will say that as far as I know, they are all I care about in this world, or any other. If only I could find a way to unlock my memories without losing control. I was able to practice something in the hospital that's real cool. It seems I remember songs real well. Because once I heard music playing down the hall, all my memories of music came to me. Not that it really mattered. Least I got some cool jams to listen too in my mind.

Oh yeah, Twiight came around with an herbal bath the day after I awoke, turns out I had been out for a few days after my spell of death and destruction. Well as surprised as I was that the bath relieved me of my weakness and growling voice, you had thought I'd have shit gold with my mouth(although I'm sure I have done similar things wid mah wicked jokes brah). All shity jokes aside, it was real damn awesome. To be able to communicate without writing is a blessing. My hand had been starting to bleed through the bandaging. It hurt like hell, it also seems I was right, no amount of magic could heal that hole. Ah well, least it is easy to stop the bleeding, while also giving full access to my magic.

I'd been experimenting in a way, I was careful about what I did, but it seems I could do other things besides causing incapacitation and pain. I can shoot little bolts of lightning, I know damn cool right? But it get better and better. I CAN conjure things, not without using blood though. It nearly killed me the first time. All I had gotten was a cool looking ring. It seemed familiar some how. It was silver with a small sapphire and two smaller rubies beside it. I put it on the middle finger of my left hand, it fit like a glove, well ring.

Rarity had said she couldn't wait for me to come to her shop, so she came to me, took my measurements,(turns out this requires no clothes on , go figure), then got the clothes for me the day before the hospital said "Fuck this guy" or else it would have been awkward walking around with the pony's seeing myself in my glory, for I doubt the hospital gives away free gowns. The clothes were stylish, but VERY colorful. I had purple pants, inlaid with a golden yellow down the sides. A green shirt inlaid with silver,(really wtf) and what I call, The Pimp jacket. It was fuzzy soft, and warm, it was a purple color inlaid with gold and GASP silver. All I needed was a pimp cane and I'd be in buizzznezzz. Although even before I got these cool threads I was to cocky, so imagine how I am now?

Twilight had offered for me to live with her, you would not believe how surprised I was for this. I mean a mare I had killed not even a week ago, was offering or me to live in HER HOUSE. Damn, pony's here are way too caring for their own good.

I know I had told them I would tell them why I attacked them as soon as I got my voice back but... I wasn't ready. What if they decided I wasn't worth the risk of making a friend out of? I had after all been capable of killing the 6 elements of Harmony. Yup I had learned more about them as soon as my voice was back, turns out I took out the 6 most powerful beings in Equestia, beside Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, with hardly getting hurt at all. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating but is it really my fault for being so damn awesome? Yeah I fell bad but that doesn't mean I can't brag right? Right. Well time to stop thinking about the past and move to the future.

Alright remember how fucked up I am? Well I'm still fucked up. Not AS much as I was but still, big claw weird eyes, pale face, blood mark, hole in hand, you get the point. Least I didn't see my ribs or veins from my leg. That is an enormous plus. I doubt these pony's could handle that. I couldn't help but laugh at the look on their faces of a monstrous weirdo, looking like a pimp, walking down my street like he owned the damn place. I nearly doubled over laughing as I heard "THE HORROR THE HORROR".

Alright I had made it to the tree. Oh did I mention the place Twilight lived was in a tree? A LIBRARY tree? Nope I didn't oh well. Oh yeah before I forget, she has a baby dragon assistant. As soon as I see him I will make him my bro for life. That is like so awesome it is ridiculous, I can just imagine me goin' "Brofist?" "Brofist" BAM instant Bros for life.

As I looked in through the cracked door, I saw nothing but darkness. "umm you in there Twilight? I don' really like the dark to tell you the truth" I called in nervously, call me  wimp but being stuck in darkness for who knows how long, while going insane can really give you a bit of fear for it. I walked in slowly, careful about where I stepped, As soon as I shut the door behind me I hear a big "SURPRISE"

"OH FUCK ME"

Awkward silence...

"Umm... Sorry, I don't like surprises, scares me a bit." luckily only my six friends where there to see me make a fool of myself.

"Oh that's fine, glad you came, you know it wouldn't be a "Welcome to equestria and nearly killing us" party with out you, you know since your the one who-" I put my left index finger to her lips in the well known sign of "shut up", I didn't really want her to remind all of us of what happened, she also can get a bit annoying.

"Well," I say trying to break the ice "got any alcohol"

"Yeah wouldn't be a party with out booze, I mean yeah it would but it wouldn't be fun, and a party that's no fun isn't a party" Pinkie was able to say before I could reach her. Ah well, win some you lose some.

***

Ok after I was sure everyone had a drink, not enough to make them drunk, barely buzzed, I needed them mainly thinking about what I was about to do. Oh yeah their alcohol concentration was far lower than what I was used to. I couldn't even taste the alcohol, I wasn't even tipsy! But being un-drunk was worth it to see their already adorable faces bunched up into grins.

"Ok remember when I said I was going to tell you all about why I attacked you?" they nodded.

"I'm about to sing a song from where I'm from called Monster by Skillet, once you hear this song you will understand. Everything in the song describes how I feel, and what is happening, if you want me to leave after the song I will understand"  They seemed confused, yet again(I seem to do that a lot) but they agreed.

First I told them of my power of being able to conjure, then of my memories of music. I suppose if I try conjuring music it will work out. I'll just have to sing, which I'm OK with as it would seem more like it is coming from me. I had just set everything up, I got a drink in case I got thirsty, a mike, and somehow Pinkie was able to get Amps( don't ask how I have no idea, again don't question it).

"Ok 1, 2 ,3, go"

The secret side of me, I never let you see

I keep it caged but I can't control it

So stay away from me, the beast is ugly

I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls

It comes awake and I can't control it

Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head

Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

My secret side I keep hid under lock and key

I keep it caged but I can't control it

'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down

Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

It's hiding in the dark, its teeth are razor sharp

There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart

No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream

Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I'm gonna lose control, it's something radical

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

As I looked at them, they seemed to be shocked, awed, scared, and sad. Without saying a word I walked past them all leaving the them the time to think. But the main reason was I could feel him taking control. I couldn't hold off the blood lust forever.
