I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

Without a word he walked past, not an explanation nor a reason. As she heard the door close she snapped back to reality. The Princess needed to know right away.

Dear Princess Celestia, The human Alistar has left during his party. I did what you asked and forgave him. I think there is more to him then I originally thought. I didn't question you with keeping him in a ungaurded hospital, but is it wise to invite him to live in my home? I am honestly scared for our safety. He sang a song involving a monster coming out, he then left without saying a word. Please come

. From, your Student,

Twilight Sparkle

Twilight was shaking, she was terrified of this creäture. She knew little to nothing about it. She could still see in her eyes Alistar playing with her, holding her by the throat, draining the life out of her. If Dash hadn't intervened she would be dead. Yeah once he came to he healed them all, nearly killing himself in the process. But this obviously meant he was mentally unstable. And to hear him sing such a horrid song? He was even more dangerous than they had thought.

Alistar 1st person

I really fucked up didn't I? Not only did I scare everyone shitless, I got all worked up about it and know I'm losing control. How wonderful. Maybe it is better this way. If I get far enough in the woods it will give the princesses time to come and kill me untill he is able to make it back to town. Maybe I scarred them enough they wont come looking for me untill the princesses arrive? Oh I hope so. It would really ruin my day to wake up surrounded by dead ponys. I continued running trying to put as much distance between us as possible.

"fuck, fuck FUCK"

"Oh shit my damn leg"

I hadn't been paying attention to much, except getting as far as possible, and like always, the universe took the time out of its busy secudule to take a shit on my head. It was twisted out of proportion, as I tried to put weight on it I sunk back down to the ground in pain.

"FUCK YOU ROOT"  I am REALLY starting to hate plants. I stared into that roots very soul, attempting to cause it to curl into fear. Wait, what? Oh shit I'm becoming like Pinkie Pie. I really am insane. Well at least I'm that fun kind of insane, not the kind that goes on a killing spree because someone stepped on my shoes. Then again maybe I'm both? Well, fuck. Well might as well accept insanity, the "voice" might find it harder to jerk me around if I am. Speaking of the "voice" I need a really demeaning name for it, something ridicules. How about Shelden? Yeah Shelden will do nicely. The thought of an evil demon creäture named Shelden just makes me chuckle. "BEHOLD I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SHELDON BOW BEFORE ME FOOLISH MORTALS." Hell yeah this day isn't so bad after all. You know, beside terrifying my only friends, admitting to them I'm a monster, and possibly have gone stark raving mad. All that considered, today is a pretty good day.

"Well looks I'm stuck here for a while" I said "how you doing Sheldon?" Yup he doesn't like the name, I'm glad he can only communicate through images, I don't think I could take another voice in my mind, you know. I'm already crazy enough as it is. From what I could tell, Shelen is like, any typical evil demon anywhere "I AM ABOVE YOU FOOLISH MORTALS BLAH BLAH, BOW DOWN" "Yeah fuck you too Shelden" I laugh a little at his reaction, to his less than immtemidating name. It feels nice to knock him down a peg. He may be able to haunt my dreams, but I can haunt him when I'm awake. Trust me, it is almost worth his punishment at night.

"Well Shelden looks like we'll be here awhile"

"What? You don't think so? What do you have in mind?"

"Now why would I do that? Also, why do you want to help me?"

"Hmm, I guess that makes sence" Shelden had just told me to use my blood magic to force my bones back into place. He says it will get me moving again, but it will hurt like hell. Well, not one to leave anything undone, I do what Sheldon suggests.

"OH FUCK ME THAT HURTS" Shelden wasn't kidding, it was the most painful thing I can remember, although that does not exactly say much, point is, it hurt like hell. "you... damn... asshole" I was able to barely mutter as I slipped into unnconchiousness. Asshole planned it all along.

Princess Celestia 3rd person

Celestia was about to go to bed, listening to her favorite Song, She absolutely loved it. It was her absolute favorite record.

"Humans make such wonderful music" Celestia declared, listening to ever repeating song. She had, "liberated it" from a human that had managed to cross over into Equestria. It had been a few hundred years since then, and she had enjoyed it immensely. Because of this her servants started calling her "Trollestia", named after the fun she often had with the new servants.

She smiled as she closed her eyes, but unfortuneitly, she was interrupted by a message appearing in front of her. She sighed, sometimes she wished she could have some time to herself. She was the Sun goddess after all, and gods need plenty of breaks. It is often tiring raising the sun every day, then taking care of political matters. She knew who it was from, Twilight Sparkle. She was really the only one that sent messages to her this way. She considered just putting down "tl;dr" and see whatever Twilight wanted in the morning. She was very busy listening to the song. But her gut told her it likely had something to do with the new human. Celestia knew it was no threat. Obviouslly such weak creatures couldn't threaten her kingdom. The last visitor told all about human life, involving cars, guns and such. But she wasn't concerned with that, as no non-bilogical matter can come and go through the dimensions. They are all weak and defenceless in this place without their technology.

She didn't believe for a second that a human had nearly killed the six elements of harmony. Yeah, humans are violent creatures, but they don't have access to magic. If they did then she would be worried. It was far more likely a manticore or pack of timber wolfs attacked them without them noticing.

"MIght as well get it over with" she said.

Ughh why was Twilight so paranoid? The human was harmless, well screw it, she was going to bed. But Twilight wont calm down untill she does something.

Luna!Yeah Tia?

I need to go to ponyville and see whats bothering Twilight, she wont shut up about that human.

Tia don't you think this human might really be a threat? A lot can happen in a few hundred years.

Just go, I want to enjoy my music...

Ughh, fine, you really do deserve the title, "Trollestia"

You bet your flank, now get out of here.

Shelden 1st person

Finnally free from that wretched place he calls his mind. Ahh, well least he was dumb enough to try out fixing his bone. Even the least experienced in blood magic know healing yourself without something to drained from causes immense pain and black outs. Well it isn't his fault he is left in the dark, I am his teacher after all. But I can't reveal much untill he is willing to submit, or else he could over power me. He could likely do it, unlike his fool father. Wonder how he is enjoying those memories? Hah, and I have his brother to thank for this. It is surprising how much you can bend another will with a little fear and torture. Even the strongest willed cannot overcome fear. Perhaps I will teach Alistar how to do this? It would be interesting to see how he uses such knowledge. A little cut there, a whisper here, is al it takes. The child didn't stand a chance.

Alistar 1st person

"Come on breath please" I was over my brother, I had just gotten him to sturdy ground. I checked his heart. No beat.

"Don't you die on me, your all I have" I said with tears in my eyes. I pushed on his chest repeatedly, then I blew into his mouth. Mother called it "CPR" it can apparently force the body to come back to life, if it is done soon enough. But he was far to cold, even if I did get him back he would die again from hypothermia.

"Please I'll do anything, just don't leave me"

I was getting despite, I sent a tiny shock into his chest, with relief I heard a faint beep. I remembered my mothers words again. A rapid change in cold will affect the brain the most, combined with poor care, even if they heal, they will never be the same. I saw in my mind, my brother trying to live a normal life but failing. As others looked down on him for his dissabilitys.

"I refuse for you to live your life that way"

I forced myself into his mind, a very dangerous thing to do, for anything could happen in his mind. But I could repair what ever damage has happened. Before entering I surrounded us in a weak bubble, enough so I wont die of the cold while inside his mind.***"John you here" Icalled into oblivion, this was a bad sign, no coherent thought meant he was possibly brain dead. No, I refuse to accept this. Take me instead.

"I can give you such"

"Who's there?"

"A friend" "What do you want?"

"I want to help you,I only ask one thing in return"

"and w-what might that be"

"Entry into your mind"

I considered it, this being was untrustworthy but it was my brothers only chance of a normal life. I didn't care what would happen to me, so long as he was ok. I don't care how he is here, so long as he follows his end of the deal. I knew what to ask for, to bind him to this deal.

"I... Want a contract"

"HAHAHAHA... a bold one... very well you will have your contract." a contract appeared in front of me, with a quill, but no ink, we were not going to use ink. But I would not sign something without looking over it. I knew how these beings played, they'd always find a way to cheat you out of your end. Even if it would not benefit them. I skimmed it, for every second counted for my brother, I stopped halfway through, my brother wont live much longer. I signed on the dotted line, I felt pain through my body as my blood appeared on the contract. Nothing could seal us closer. "There now follow your end of the deal"

"Very well" It smiled, I didn't really see it, but felt it.

***

I gasped awake, looking over at my brother, I saw his eyes fluttering.

"Oh thank god"

I then realized what I had given for my brother, possibly my very soul, but it was worth it.

***

I had never been happier, my brother was awakening. I put a big smile on my face, I wanted my brother to live the best life possible, and if putting on a smile helps, I will.

He awoke with cold, emotionless eyes he looked right at me and said nothing. "John...are you ok?"

No response.

"No... you should, I mean..."

I was overcome with grief, it HAD cheated me. Even worse, my brother would be better dead, this was not my brother. There was no soul, no spark. It was just a body, nothing more.

"YOU FUCKER WHAT DID YOU DO?" "I did what I said I would, your brother IS alive, his soul just isn't there, I had made a little deal with another so, involving your brother."

"Who did it!?" I asked in anger, I ould tear them limb from limb.

"Your father"

I was shocked, dumbfounded, was my father really that monstrous?

"Allow me to explain, your father wanted ower, so he contacted me through a blood ritual, he used your mother to bring me here, she was a good offering" I shivered, but not from the cold. "like I said, he asked for power, I gave it to him. It seems he couldn't control it. He was going insane. Weak fool. He asked for one more deal. I take away his power for your brother. I did that, I took all his power, life,blood, magic ,everything. I then struck a deal with your innocent brother. I set him free if I give him you. He resisted, at first, but torture is very persuasive." I nearly puked, he...he...." He accepted, he only wanted the pain to stop, again, weak like his father. It seems he wanted another way to try to get rid of me, through his own death. He hopped that cold would dissuade me, fool, I am not from hell but from the darkest parts of the soul. Luckily, for me, you came by to save him. And I, never one to leave a deal unstuck gave you your brother back. Since he, in a way, gave you to me. I followed up my deal and set him free. So now, lets us get down to business"

***

I was... words can't describe how I felt. Shocked? Mortified? Nones describe it well enough. I had given, everything, for nothing.

"Now in the contract, it said you are to be my student, I will make you such. But must earn this honor. I will now cause you to forget your family, ou will love no human being, this will allow you to only hate now... enjoy"

***"

My head" I said awakening in a rundown house.I felt a buzzing in the back of my head. Not sure what it was, I ignored it. Across the strange room I saw a human ,boy to be precise. He seemed unmoving, like he didn't care for life. To say the least It was creepy. The buzzing increased, it seemed to want me to do something about this kid. But what. Right before I left te room, to try to find supples, it came to me. This child was a demon, it made me forget and tortured me. Overcome with anger I went over and punched it in the face.

No response.

"What think you can fool with me and get away with it" I yelled in anger, kicking him in the throat. It had trouble breathing, I was oddly happy seeing the monster suffer. I was going to get all it deserved. I felt a unkown anger fuel me on. I hit and hit again, even after it stopped moving. When I was done I felt oddly... happy.

***

"No... I... I... Killed my own brother..." How could this happen? This thing has turned me into a monster. I killed my 7 year old brother. I wasn't even 13. I layed down in the abyss, yet again overcome with grief.Shelden 1st person

Ahh Alistar is finished with the memory, hope he enjoyed it. I particularly did. Neverbfr ad I out smarted a whole family. Quite an achievement. I even got a promising student to go with it. He must be close to giving in, if I'm able to kill these dumb ponys he will have nothing left to live for.The more grief he feels, the stronger I am. I might even be able to talk to these ponys before I kill them. Oh how wonderful. Oh I feel them coming...

I quickly climbed a tree, hiding in the branches, completely unnoticeable.

"Princess," ohh a princess, this will be fun. "please don't underestimate this human, he nearly-"

"I know what he nearly did, Celestia doesn't believe, but I do" Hmm, she could be a potential threat. "So"The princess continued "this human says he is plagued by a voice, a monster?"

"Yes, Princess Luna, he says it was the monster in him that attacked us"

"There is more to this then meets the eye"

"Indeed there is Princess" I said, dropping out of the branches. "There is so much more then you could even comprehend"

They seemed to be surprised to see me, my I mustn't have left much of an impression.

"What? Don't remember me? I Killed the purple one over there. The weak one may have brought you back, but surely you couldn't forget such pain and fear"

This seemed to spark anger from them, especially the rainbow maned one.

Before she could get enough courage  attack I said "Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, remember what happened last time you attacked me? You broke quite a few fo my ribs, but I think I came out on top of the exchange"

This caused fear to flash across her face, she must remember the pain of being drained. "Ahh, you remember, but perhaps you need another lesson" I lifted my left hand, well Alistar''s hand, towards her. I heard her scream in pain, while I grew strong. "STOP" I felt something block me from my fun, I was restrained, again, but more securely this time.

I smiled, they could not hold me for long.

"What? Can't I have some fun with my future subjects?" I said mockingly.

"How dare YOU!"

She made a mistake, she was so concerned with constricting my chest, she forgot about my hands. I Rased my left, she stopped as the pain hit her. I cried, in pain and fear. I wasn't sucking her life, I was ending it. The others tried to stop, but I sliced up any that got too close. I could feel myself weakining. What was happening. Alistar must be taking control.

rather feel pain

***Alistar 1st person

I felt horrible. I was a monster. I'd let down my only friends, killed my brother. There is no telling what other horrible things I had done. Over come with grief, I sang. There was nothing left to do.

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

You're sick of feeling numb

You're not the only one

I felt myself slowly gaining control, I don't know if it is emotional release, or from  saying one big "Fuck you Shelden" but I didn't care, I just kept on.
