Author's Notes:

This chapter gets weird. Sorry...Not really...Though, where it does get bad you can skip as it is non-canon. So, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah~ pushes the Teen and Sex tag to it's limit toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

That is all.

And to the person that keeps liking and disliking. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

or don't. which is fine.

After my little get together with the Night Stalker known as, "Spooks," I walked to the Academy for the last visit for the day before I have to tell Luna and Spitfire of where I was planning on going tomorrow. I shudder at the thought of having to tell Spitfire that I was going on an adventure to a mountain where I could be captured or die from a bunch of treasure hunter mercenaries look to gain access to a temple that may or may not exist. I could see her tying me to a thousand pound ball of iron before she bawls about her pup leaving the den.

'I love you Spits, but some days. You are a little too protective over me since I got out of the hospital.'

Luna would be the easier one to convince of me going on a small trip with a group of ponies that are quite skilled in combat like I am and with the new addition to my Black Knights that has a sword that can cut space like Dante's Yamato. I should be in good hands with Wolhana and Nova backing me up. If not, then I could always rely on myself and my wits to help me in a fight.

I walked up the Academy with Wolhana and Azrael following close behind. We passed through an iron gate that had the symbol of a snowflake at the center of the Celtic-styled bars of the gate. The gate opened up, revealing a gothic themed complex of buildings that was known as, Arcadia's School For Gifted Individuals. Once we were inside the school grounds, we made our way down to the science lab at the west side of the school. As we walked passed several ponies playing in the snow after a long day of studying, all eyes were on us.

It was not surprising to see that my fellow peers to have their jaws in the snow in awe at my presence. Many of them bowed at the sight of me while others tried to walk up to greet me. Of course, they were stopped by my two guards pointing their swords at the various ponies, dragons, thestrals, diamond dogs, faunus, khajiit, and deer before they got too close.

It was almost heartbreaking to see some of my subjects so crestfallen that I couldn't join them in a snowball fight or just general fun. I can't remember the last time I was able to play in the snow, nor when I was able to play at all. I was more worried about living rather that just being myself, and enjoy my favorite season. In fact, I don't think I ever had a snow day with my friends when I was a kid other than during school time. 'And now I am depressed,' I internally sighed as we walked into the science wing. I took a glance back to the playing people in the courtyard one last time and put aside the thoughts of fun for later. When I have time. If I'll ever have time.

'And now, I'm even more depressed.'

We made our way down the gray halls of the science wing to labs. The sound of our boots could be heard from a mile away, giving our location to anyone within the science lab. As we walked to the mechanics lab where Flash Drive and my fuck buddy, Umbra was waiting for me. I looked at all the pictures on the walls. From posters about a science fair, and the odd art piece of anything related to science. I was brought back to the days when I was forced to draw diagrams for my school for marks, however. My nostalgia was stopped when I began to hear yelling come from down the hall, and it sounded like Umbra was raving about something she doesn't like.

"Me damn it," I sighed as we picked up pace to prevent my friend from beating the living shit out of whatever was making her upset.

We came up to a metal door made out of shop steel. On the door had a sign that said to wear safety gear while inside of the room, but judging from the sounds of clashing metal and screaming, the door should tell anyone who dares to enter: To bring a sword and shield in as well. I let out a chuckle after I heard a line of muffled words and opened the door with my guards fearing for their lives.

"What do you mean that you forgot to buy our spare servos! I need them for my mech suit prototype and hey....Winter is here!" Umbra said to a brown colt with a Luna Toaster plushie on his back. I looked into the room for a quick second and saw that it was an exact recreation of the club room back at CSFGI. After my quick look around, I noticed that Umbra Eon was wearing a metal suit that allowed her to walk upright.

My jaw, as well as Ariel's jaw, was firmly placed on the floor as we gawked at the suit that Umbra was wearing. The metal looked like she was wearing a second skin. She had legs that looked like the Diamond Dog legs she made a few months ago. She had black metal covering her forehooves that gave her a set of hands that looked like Azrael hands. The only thing that was not metal that she was wearing was her body, however. What was covering her body was her school uniform that did a poor job of hiding her junk if one were to look hard enough at the mini skirt that was skimpier than what I was forced to wear back at CSFGI.

I shook myself from my daze and saw the she was giving me a cheeky smirk before she wiggled her hips and we walked in.
"Like what you see?" Umbra asked while wiggling her brow as I found a seat on a pile of wires. Wolhana didn't like that comment.

"I would say, 'I love it,' but both my entourage and Summer would take offense to that," I replied, causing the colt hiding behind the desk in the corner of the room to blush.

"Yeah, when I heard you and Sunny hit stage two of your eternal marriage. I bet she can feel every time you get a hard on for someone else," Umbra said as she sat down on a chair, and spread her legs wide open, showing everyone her massive sheath.

"This is true, but I make up for it by treating her out to something she likes. Usually a massage or something like that," I said as I felt the heat from Azrael and Wolhana's faces. "And can you close your legs. I like the view, but a wing boner from my Angel here could make a hole in the wall."

"Hmpf!" she pouted as she crossed her legs and arms. "Just because some mares can't handle my magic staff, doesn't mean I have to hide it."

"Whatever," I said rolling my eyes. "Anyway. Why am I here? I heard from my maid that a stallion by the name of Flash Drive was going to give me something that could make me fly faster. Do you know where he is?"

"Yeah, he is the socially awkward scaredy-cat hiding behind the auxiliary desk in the corn of the room," she said, pointing with her black metal hands to the brown colt that was trembling behind the desk with half of his head poking out.

"Him?" I said pointing to the colt in disbelief.

"Yep!" she cheered. "Come on out and say hi to our Empress, Flash Drive."

I cringed as I watched the poor colt trip over wires and tools with that weird plushie of Luna in toaster form on his back, over to us. At first, glance, if he didn't have the plushie on his back, he would be rather attractive in a 'dorky' sort of way. One would say he could be a potential stud of the school, but the plushie made him look like he had a mental problem and was taking medication to make sure he didn't murder someone before he finished his hair collection of the mare he was stalking.

'Ain't that a horrifying thought,'

The coffee-brown colt with a short, dark gray bowl cut with a short and neat tail, eventually stumbled his way over to us, and I got a good look at his keyboard cutie mark as she sat down while hugging the plushie in a very creepy way. All I could think of was how many feathers he stole from me while fixing up my wing, but that thought died when Umbra levitated a small suitcase no bigger than my head from on top of a desk in the right corner of the room and handed it to me.

"What is in this?" I asked as I took the case in my grasp, causing both of my guards to look at my friends suspiciously.

"You know your wing blades?" Flash said through a cute voice crack.

"Yeah?" I asked with a raised brow to the colt petting the plushie with creepy, yandere love.

"We used your formula that you designed to make your wing blades, and made a pair of winglets that do the exact same thing, but two times better," Umbra replied for Flash.

"Damn, does it come with cup holders too?!" I asked surprised as I stared at the black case in my hooves.

"Pfft, you wish," Umbra mocked with a wave of the hoof. "So are you going to put them on? Flash still needs to tune them because of your—Ahem—Wing," she coughed slightly.

With another word, I opened the case to reveal two, small rings that were as white as my fur. Before my guards could prevent me from putting them on, I put the rings on at the base of my wings, which opened and closed like a padlock. Once they were on, I could instantly feel them adjust to the shape of my wing, which made them feel like they were a second skin once they were done molding to my body.

"Fits perfectly," I said with a quick flap of the wings to test to see if they hindered my movement. "Thanks, Umbra, remind me to get Summer to let you have your way with me later. You deserve it,"

"Thanks, Winny, I have been missing your sweet lips. Maple and Aria could only do so much with their lack of experience," she replied, causing everyone to blush as red as an apple.

"I am sorry for your lose...Not really. Summer has been doing better than all three of you combined since she moved in with me. That, and she knows all my sweet spots by heart. So get, a rekt, scrub," I mocked to the bipedal unicorn. She rolled her eyes and levitated a pair of magic etchers to her hands before she got out of her seat and walked over to me.

"Yeah, yeah Empress of Bondage, whose screams of pleasure echo throughout the land. Shut up and let me work," she countered as she motioned for Flash to come over.

"Says the one that likes feet. Lick any dirty paws lately?" I mocked back as both of them work on the winglets while Wolhana was completely red, and Azrael had her hand in her pants. 'Yep, that's my innocent Angel,' I internally sighed.

"Nice shot from the pee drinker. Get any golden showers from Sunny today?" she shot back as she lifted my wing to work on the underside of the winglet.

"Low blow from the pony that loves golden showers as much as I do, except I don't drink my own from self-sucking," I countered, as I felt Flash finish his side and quickly ran to hide his raging boner.

"Just because I can shove my entire length down my own throat, doesn't mean you can't lick your own ovaries with your insanely long tongue, which we both know you can."

"At least I didn't do a spell that makes myself cum gallons. Seriously, Maples stomach shouldn't be able to look like she's nine months pregnant from one orgasm."

"Well, she loves it as much as I know you like Summer whipping your ass...And we are done tuning your winglets, want to have a quicky' in our usual spot?" she asked, causing Azrael to have a wing boner that broke the wall behind her.

"I thought you wouldn't ask, and just to tell you. Summer will punish me the way I like it when I get home tonight."

"Then I better make sure you can't walk at all, now get your royal whore ass in the closest," she ordered.

"Yes, ma'am," I purred before I turned to my Angel who was playing with her own kitten. "And Azrael?" I said as I walked over to the sound proof closet with Umbra.

"Y-Yes?" she stutter-blushed.

"Make sure no one bothers us for about an hour," I winked at her.

30 min later.

Azrael sat in the lab with an embarrassed colt that was hiding behind a desk out of sight, and a kitten that had the tip of her tail between her legs underneath her mini skirt. She looked at the kitten who was staring at the closet door, clearly fantasizing about what the Empress and the bipedal unicorn tranny was doing. She too was having the same thoughts, but she was more confused and disgusted rather than turned on for the two fillies fucking in the closet.

Azrael couldn't understand why the Empress would willingly mate with someone that was her soul mate. Back home in the Griffin Dominion, if she was caught doing such an act. She and the pony she slept with, would have been hanged for such blasphemous sacrilege. She wondered how Winter would just fuck a pony that wasn't her lifemate, Summer, like it was a normal thing to do. Then again, Winter wasn't normal and for all she knew, Umbra was part of her herd if that tradition was still being practiced in this day and age.

If they were herd mates, then what the fuck was wrong with them? She knew that most fillies their age would not be talking about their favorite fetish! When she was just a chick before she was turned into an abomination via magic and medicine. She and her friends would be talking about how long their Tom lasted, and not about being pumped with enough come to make a mare look nine months pregnant. Such abilities shouldn't be able to be done by a filly let alone be enjoyed by one!

It doesn't help the fact the she had to guard them while they do it in the closet. All she wanted to do was tell Summer to get her mare under control before she doesn't do anything that she might regret in the future, but what she can do was call Luna with her new cellphone to find out if Winter and Umbra fucking was okay, and if not. She will bust into the closet and drag Winters ass to be beaten by her mare for being unfaithful to her.

Azrael reached into her breastplate and grabbed a little, black, box from her cleavage and flipped it open to call Luna. She quickly pressed the speed dial button she set up when she first bought the phone with Luna a few days ago. She let out a sigh of irritation as she listened to the phone ring and Wolhana quietly moan as she played with herself while she sat against the wall. Azrael rolled her eyes when she saw the tiny piece of string that barely covered the kittens entrance, which must have felt really cold down there even if she had fur to keep her somewhat warm.

“Hello?” Spoke Princess Luna from the other side of the phone. Azrael let out a sigh of relief that she was able to get through to the mare of the moon, and quickly replied before she hung up.

“Hey, Luna.”

“Huzzah! Azrael, how may I help you? Or do you want to talk about boys like the mares in the movies?” Luna asked happily through the phone.

“Sorry, Luna, but no boy talk today. I'm calling you about Empress Winter. She is acting rather strange here at the Academy,” Azrael replied while watching Flash Drive leave the room in a hurry, probably to get someone to fix the wall.

“Oh—” Luna sighed through the phone. “—Well, that's okay. I bet Rose is doing something with her friend, Umbra Eon right now? Is that what you're concerned about?”

“Yeah, it is,” Azrael said while watching Wolhana lift up her skirt and began to rub the pommel of her Tanto against her lower lips before getting rid of the string she called her, “modest,” underwear to the side. “Is it normal for Winter to sleep with someone that isn't her soul mate?” she asked bluntly.

“It depends on which ponies she and Summer have agreed with. Since you are referring to Umbra, she is a herd mate with Winter and Summer, along with two others called; Maple Leaf and Astral Aria. These three ponies Winter and Summer sleep with on occasion, but since the soul mates reach stage two of their bond, Maple and Aria don't do it anymore. Umbra, however. Is still extremely active in this regard, especially with Winter, but recently. Summer has been quite protective of Winter ever since she left the hospital. So if Winter is, in fact, doing the nasty with Umbra. Then it is best to let them be to sort out their own problems right now, but if it is someone completely different. Then I would ask you to beat the shit out of Winter and drag her ass home for an intervention. Does that help?” Luna explained.

Azrael frowned at the explanation that Luna gave her. She was expecting Luna to tell her to split them up from the get-go, and not to let them be. Even if they were herd mates, Summer should be here with her lover to enjoy making love to the pony that is a member of their family. It was just selfish of Winter to indulge herself with her herd mate by herself, but since Luna said to let them sort out their own private problems. Azrael was forced to sit down and pass the time by watching Wolhana shove the entire scabbard of her twelve inch Tanto, into her pussy.

“Very well, I'll leave her be, but since I am stuck where I am. Can I ask you a question?” Azrael asked while witnessing Wolhana squirt a stream of her juices into the air and onto her face with her mouth wide open.

“And what question is that?” Luna asked with a peak of curiosity in her voice.

“Is it true that you have to eat Winters pussy whenever and wherever she wants?” Azrael asked, remembering the rumor that has been spreading throughout the castle recently while fingering herself as she watched Wolhana pant with her tongue hanging out as she pumped herself with her Tanto into lustful insanity.

“What!? W-Who told you that lie?” Luna said nervously to make it seem like it was just a rumor, but Azrael knew from the slight stutter that it was the truth.

“Winter did,” she lied back to bait Luna to confirm her belief as she watched the kitten wrap her tail in shadows and stick the entire length in her other hole.

“I-I see…” Luna sighed. “Yes, it is true. Yesterday, I hid under her desk and ate her out for several hours while she played with my horn. And yes, I had Summers permission,” Luna confessed as Wolhana came for a second time, making a big puddle where she sat.

“And how did that happen? I knew you had a humiliation fetish, but come on. You are a thousand years older than her!” Azrael exclaimed as Wolhana crawled over to her with her legs soaking wet, and began licking her wet fingers with laden eyes.

“I did something that could have caused ginormous consequences in the future and as punishment, I have to eat Winters cute and tasty, pussy, but on the bright side. Winter is the only person that has ever made me horngasmn. Don't ask how long it took to drain the office. All you need to know was that we didn't cook with water, cream, or milk that day. There is even enough for several months of nonstop cooking, drinking, and swimming.”

“That is gross, but since the food tastes amazing. I bet the cooks don't know what they are using,” Azrael replied while holding back her vomit as Wolhana penetrated her asshole with her extremely long tongue as she began fingering herself again.

“You are correct, which is why I enjoy my punishment. I don't think anyone can do what Winter can do with that tongue of hers.”

“Amen to that~”Azrael moaned as she finally came to Wolhana’s amazing rim job, causing her to ejaculate white, glowing gunk into the kittens awaiting mouth. She didn't stop cumming for a long minute, causing Wolhana’s entire body to be drenched in the stuff that was similar to unicorn horn jizz. The poor Kitten puked most of it back up before she collapsed onto the ground, lazily licking the gallons of the glowing gunk from off of her face. Azrael couldn't understand why she could do this, but she didn't care. It felt ten times more amazing than what she did before she was turned into an Angeloid, and it was amazing to drink.

“Hello!?” Luna shouted through the phone.

“I'll talk to you later,” Azrael replied as she licked her fingers and relished her gunk before she ended the call, and began to clean up the mess she and Wolhana made.

"So, what did you guys do while I was busy?" I asked my two guards as we walked back into the castle.

"Nothing at all," the both said in unison as I walked awkwardly up a set of marble stairs. I stopped at the top for a moment and gave them a good, hard stare, knowing that Wolhana wasn't wearing that string she called underwear, and they both smelled like horn jizz.

"Wolhana, what did you guys do?" I asked again, causing Azrael to try her best to keep a straight face, but it was a fruitless effort. Wolhana gave me a big smile and wiggled her ears before she pulled out her whiteboard and wrote something.

"We fantasized about what you and Umbra were doing in the closet and had a quicky too!" Read the whiteboard as she jumped in place with a big smile.

"O...K...Just don't do it in public. Azrael has an appearance to keep, and I suggest you have a shower. You both smell as bad as I do right now," I replied with a raised brow and continued to walk down the hall.

"Okay!" she chirped while Azrael cursed under her breath that the kitten ratted her out.

We continued to walk back into the safe zone of the castle in silence. It was a zone where I didn't need my guards to follow me around all day, and it was a place where I can unwind and be myself. Once we passed the checkpoint into the safe zone, Wolhana and Azrael and I went our separate ways to go and have a shower to clean the 'stank out of our fur.

I quickly trotted my way back to my room and gave my guards the odd nod to them for standing vigil every day to protect me, and my family from harm. I walked into my room and shut the door behind me and began taking off all of my Royal clothes. As I did so, I saw that it was snowing in the corner of my eye.

I paused for a second with my tail ribbon half untied in my hooves and stared at the falling snow that was dancing to the ground. I instantly remembered the fillies and colts playing in the snow at the Academy. How they were having so much fun while I have to do paperwork and fuck the police. All I could think about was how much I was missing right now.

Here I am, playing princess of a kingdom, making sure that everyone was safe from a bitch with daddy issues. Each move that I make in the chess game for the world, I cannot mess up. Because of this, I can't just be myself anymore. I can't do anything that I love anymore. If I do, I could put lives on the line, all for my enjoyment. I couldn't go sledding with Summer, build snowmen with Nightingale, nor just walk around and enjoy the cold in a tacky scarf and warm sweater.

I was, effectively, stuck in the castle until my battle with Celestia is over. I don't know how long this literal Cold War was going to last, but what I did know was that Celestia plans on ending it soon. How she was going to do that, I could only hope it wasn't too big. Then again, she will go big in order to shock the world silent, forcing them to never go against her will again. And I had to be ready for it and use it against her.

Like always.

Even my impromptu trip to The Temple of Alta Tempest was a move to stop a potential threat of Arcadia, and try and convince Daring Do to stop giving Celestia powerful artifacts to her universities. I knew when I heard that Ahuizotl was part of the kidnapping of Apple Twilight, I knew grandma Daring was going to be close by. Since Mount Sif was in my territory, there was a high probability that whatever Celestia was getting her to add to her collection of dangerous artifacts, she was going to use it against me. That thought alone made my possible adventure more depressing cause it wasn't out of fun like I wanted it to, but I don't get anything that I want anymore.

Like always.

"Hey, Winny? Are you alright?" I heard a soft voice that could only belong to my lifemate, but I didn't answer. I just wanted to be alone for a while.

"Why are you crying?" she asked with a bit more worry in her voice as she sat down beside me. I didn't answer as I watched my tears dripped down to the floor that I was staring at. "Come on, talk to me?" she said as she pulled me into an embrace.

I buried my face into her soft, misty rose chest, as I felt her wings wrap around me while she finished untying my ribbon that I gave up on earlier. She finished undressing me as I quietly cried while I felt her block on her emotions open up to me, telling me how much she cares about me.

Like always.

All I could do was quietly accept her warmth. It was the only thing that I can be certain of that won't be taken away from me. She was my sunshine, my only sunshine. She makes me happy when skies are gray. She knows how much I hold her dear, but yet. I can't tell her how much I want to just run away from everything and live in a cabin in the middle of nowhere and never come back. Though, as much as I want to do just that, I couldn't. Not yet anyway.

I couldn't leave her behind to deal with all the crap that I have to. The second I was gone, I knew that my zealots would put her on the throne. Everyone in the world, somehow, knows about our bond. Which means that Summer is also the ruler of Arcadia from what my advisors say, but I couldn't tell her that. It's bad enough that she worries about everything as it is. Giving her the mantel of responsibility would without a doubt destroy her and her wonderful heart.

"You are doing it again," Summer said as she lifted my head to meet her worried eyes. I let out a sigh and gave touch noses with her before I spoke up.

"Sorry, I am just worried about thing's, and I desperately need a shower," I choked out as I rubbed my eyes clear with a hoof.

"Hehe, I'll say. You smell like Umbra had her way with you," she giggled half-heartedly to lighten up the mood. "And you are always worried about things, so can you tell me what's bothering you now while we share a bath?" she asked lovingly. I cracked a smile, knowing that she was going to be pissed that once I tell her that I was going away for a while, again.

"Sure," I replied, and stood up and walked with her to the bathroom and got ready to be drowned from the mare that I call my Queen.

Once the bath was poured into the giant pool that I call, 'my bathtub,' Summer and I walked in and sat beside each other with the hot water up to our necks. Steam filled the bathroom, making it impossible to see more than a few feet from where we sat. Summer purred as she leaned against me, enjoying the relaxing atmosphere with my good wing holding her close.

I felt her shift slightly to find a better position to sit in while I prayed that the bath was enough of a distraction so that I didn't have to tell her my plans for tomorrow, but that was a hopeless thought as left a sweet kiss on my cheek and broke the silence.

"So, what has been bothering my Empress of Bondage?" she half-giggle half-asked seriously. My face went red as I remembered Umbra biting down on my good ear as she thrust me up against the wall in the closet.

"N-Nothing much, just making plans of doing something that will piss off everyone tomorrow," I stutter-blushed. "And don't call me that. It's a bit embarrassing."

"Sorry, I couldn't help it," she giggled before she turned around to look me in the eye and effectively pinned me against the tub wall. "So what are you worried about that is going to happen tomorrow that will make everyone mad?"

"Well...Ah—" I said as I looked away for a moment. "—I am kinda going on a trip to this lost temple to save all of Equus from an ancient artifact from the clutches of Ahuizotl and bring both the artifact and Daring Do back with me. Hehe," I chuckled lightly as I rubbed the back of my head. Summer raised a brow with an unamused expression before she spoke again in a disappointed tone.

"Are you serious?" she deadpanned.

"Yes, I am," I replied with a weak nod. She let out a sigh and turned away from me. I could instantly tell that she was unhappy that I was going on an adventure that was going to put my life on the line, again.

She crossed her arms as she stared at the wall and away from me. It wasn't hard for me to tell that she was absolutely livid with me. Our link made me feel it and then some. I tried to raise a hoof to plead my case, but I quickly dropped it back into the water, even more, depressed than I was a few minutes ago about the snow. I hung my head, feeling the tears come back again for some fucking reason. I couldn't tell if it was because I was always stressed out of my mind for the past few days or because I was getting the cold shoulder. In any case, I quickly cleaned myself and left the bathroom with a towel to let Summer think about what she was going to do to me later, but I wasn't in the mood for anything naughty. I just wanted to be alone again.

I dried myself off with my towel and draped it over a chair for Feather to pick up later and flew up to my bed to grab a blanket to sleep in my favorite spot in my room. Once I had a blanket in hoof, I glided down to a secret door that opened up to a small cubby that had a small window with a wonderful view of the city, sunrise, and sunset. I closed the door behind me and sat down on the small twin mattress that I put inside the little room and curled underneath the blanket for the night.

I knew that I was going to miss supper, but I didn't care. The one person that I needed support for the trip tomorrow doesn't want to see me right now, and I don't blame her. I scared her one too many times, and it was showing. I know for a fact that Spitfire won't let me go. In fact, I know she would chain me to the ground to prevent me from going to the mountain before she sends an army to get what I was going to get in the first place. So telling her was not going to happen. Telling Luna that I was going on a Daring Do adventure would go a bit better. She won't chain me to the nearest wall, but she would ask me to not go without a small legion, which where stealth was concerned. That was not going to happen.

Summer was the only one that I didn't want to piss off with this trip, but it was too late. I needed her to tell me that she was okay with me going for a few days, to make me feel that I was coming home with a hero's welcome and not an angry mob. It also didn't help that I wasn't allowed to be myself and enjoy my favorite season anymore. That alone was making it hard to stay true to myself so I didn't become a cold, lifeless, husk to those around me. Which I knew that I was slowly becoming with each passing day.

"Fuck me and my bipolar emotions," I sniffled as I quietly cried into the blanket that I was also using as a pillow. As I quietly cried my eyes out again for the millionth time again this week, I felt a gentle prodding at my side. I froze at the touch of someone in my special place where I go to when I want to be alone. The fact that there was someone that was in my hiding place both made me very angry and very scared as to who could it be that was in here with me?

"Winny? I-I'm sorry, please stop crying," Summer begged quietly as I felt her poke my side again, but I didn't answer. I let her know what I felt about her being in my special place through our link and continued to hide under my blanket.

"I know this is your special place, and that I shouldn't be in here, but please," she began crying with me."I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you away when you needed me most. Please, I-I'm sorry for hurting you. I really am," she said into a soft whimper as I felt her head rest on my side as she nuzzled me to come out of my shell.

I thought real hard about it for a moment as I felt her endless amount of guilt flow into me like Niagra Falls during a flood. I wanted to be angry with her for invading my private spot, for pushing me aside when I was putting all my trust into her with my decision to go with Spooks to the temple of Alta, but I just couldn't. As much as I wanted to kick her out for being an asshole when that was my job in our relationship, it didn't feel right to do.

I opened up my blanket and saw that my door to my room was closed that there was a sobbing Summer nuzzling my side. I bit my lip in irritation that she was in my cubby hole before I put all that anger aside and with a quick flick of the wrist, and hearing a cute, 'Eep!' I pulled her into an embrace, facing out the small window so that we could watch the sunset together.

"W-Winter?" Summer gasped as I nuzzled her neck and completely wrap my entire body around her. "What are—" she tried to say, but I cut her off by biting down on her neck and began pumping all my emotions directly into her as punishment for making me depressed.

I felt her twitch violently for a few seconds from the pain of having my new set of fangs draw blood from her neck before she calmed down and embraced all the stress, all the depression that I was feeling. Once I was done, I pulled away from her neck and she instantly turned around with the most mortified expression that I have ever seen before she pulled me into a long, trembling kiss as she wrapped herself around me.

As she invaded my mouth with her tongue, my eyes shot open and I pushed her back in, even more, anger. She gave me a sad and confused expression before I lifted my hoof and brought it down on her face.

*Slap!*

A red mark in the shape of my hoof slowly appeared on her face as she stared at the place where her head stopped in shock while I growled at her for her intrusion. Once she realized what she did wrong, she tried to pull away from me in order to leave me alone in my special spot, but I didn't let her.

"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" I asked through a growl.

"I-I-I—" she stuttered before I locked lips with her and coiled my tongue around hers, preventing her from parting her lips from mine. I held her in a death grip before I loosened up and pulled slightly away and allowed Summer some control again. We both closed our eyes and pulled each other close again and began overflowing each other with all the emotions that we were feeling at the moment, just like when we soul bonded for the first time.

We cried, we moaned, we said felt all the crap that we put each other through before we parted ways again, and stared into each others wet and puffy eyes. We didn't say another word, as we let our emotions for each other do the talking. We were both sorry for hurting each other again, and we both loved each other even more because of it. I could tell that she was fine with me going on my adventure tomorrow, and she knew how depressed I was about not being able to enjoy the snow like I wanted to.

She made up to me by holding me close like I wanted her to as we enjoyed the sunset while she hummed the song that she sang to me in the hospital many days ago. We fell asleep once the sun was down for the night in each other's arms while we showed each other how sorry we were for how we acted a few moments ago.

Okay, if you haven't figured it out yet. I will be doing a crossover for a few Chapters. If you don't like it then. Meh, can't please everyone, but what is going to happen was going to happen anyway regardless of the crossover called, "The Family Reunion through Explosions Arch." Which will bring in the final characters and then begins the final arch of the story, The Black Queen Arch, so yeah. And one last note. "Can anyone figure out what will happen to Rose at the climax of the final arch? Whoever gets close I will tell them what happens in a pm. Love, a cuddly griffin.
