Getting to Canterlot

I sat on the top of the wall and looked down over the new town starting outside our walls. Repelling all the armies sent to bring us to heel has given our city a reputation. A place where you're safe gets a lot of attention from a lot of people. So, much so we are becoming a trading city now. Once armies gave up attacking us people started to travel here in mass. We now had about twenty thousand people in my lands. Many of them coming from the city that the south king destroyed.

"Hey, Nick can we bother you for a second?"

I looked over to my right and saw my captains. "Aw, Rosa, Rage what can I do for you?" They smiled then both of them pulled a head from there side bags.

"Only five left Nick."

I smiled as they threw the heads down to the ground outside the wall. I nodded as I looked at them. "So, how many new soldiers do we have now?" Rage pulled some papers out and handed them to me. I started to read them as I walked down to the city. "Ok, between the sons we now have ten thousand new troops. Three hundred canons and a thousand horses. "Well, this is good our numbers have almost tripled. There are now fifteen territories under my control. Pretty soon I could make a go at the southern king's lands." I finished walking down the stairs and started to walk down the street.

"Good day Nick!"

"How are you, Nick?"

I smiled and waved at everyone as I walked down the street. I rolled the papers up as I entered the second level of the city.

"Hey Nick!"

I heard Pinkie's voice then I was tackled to the ground. I hit my head as I landed on my back. I sat up and saw Pinkie sitting on my lap. I narrowed my eyes as I glared at her. "Is Celestia in my city?" She quickly nodded her head as she let me get up.

"No, she and Luna sent us to invite you and Twilight to the Gala!"

I stood up and jogged down the street to my house.

"I said move NOW!"

I recognized that voice and sighed. "Armor." I ran around the corner and saw him trying to force them aside. I saw Cadence behind him say something to Twilight's guards. I looked back over at Armor as one of my guards knocked him down. I laughed as I walked up to them. " Heavy Metal, War Hammer stand down I'll this." I walked up to him and grabbed his arm. "Come on get to your feet."

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!"

He ripped his arm out of my hand. I sighed as he stood back up. I looked over at my guards as the moved aside for me.

"The ladies of the house and friends are inside Nick. She and her friends are waiting in your office."

I nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Heavy Metal, War Hammer. But as much as I hate to say it let him in too." They nodded as they let us walk on to the grounds. One of our maids opened the front door for us.

"Welcome home Nick."

I smiled and thanked her. "Thank you, Tea Cup. Oh, how is your son doing?" She smiled and walked with us in the house.

"Sky is doing well. His sickness has started to subside. The medical herbs Lady Twilight told me about have helped him. They are helping him walk again."

I smiled as we walked up to my office door. "That is very nice to hear Tea Cup. Why don't you tell the head maid that Twilight and myself will be leaving for a week at the most." She smiled then bowed to me.

"Ok Nick, Please have a good day and guest."

She stood back up and walked away. I opened the door then Armor then pushed me aside to rush into the room.

"Twilig..."

"BASH!"

"BBBBAAAWWWW HAHAHA!" I laughed when Armor slammed face first into a shield spell Twilight created.

"NICK!"

I heard Twilight's voice then I was hit with a thunderbolt. I dropped to the ground with smoke coming from my hair. I stumped forward and spoke. "I hate... that damn spell."

"When are you going to stop cusing?"

I turned the side of my head and stared at her. "I do when impressionable ears around don't I?" She smiled and nodded her head.

"Ture but I won't stop until you give it up completely."

I got off the floor and stood over her. "You can't just let me have any fun can you?" She slid a finger down my chest plate with a sweet smile.

"Well if your a good boy maybe well have some fun later.~"

I blushed at what she meant. Plus, the fact all of her friends and brother heard it. She saw my blush then blushed too now realizing what she said in front of all of them.

"YOU SLEPT WITH HIM TWILIGHT?!"

We both looked back as he tried to get through the shield. I snickered as he fought to get in. "Hit it all you want your sister spell's never fail her. Trust me you don't know how many times I wish her thunder spell would fail. As many times as she's hit me with it you'd think I'd kill over by now." He stopped and stared at me.

"Wow, and here I thought my sister would wise up and dump you rrrrrreeeeeedddddd."

I clenched my fist as I looked at him. "Why you little..." Twilight got in the middle of us as we glared at each other.

"Now, you two stop right now. You two are going to have to get along."

"But Twilly!"

She turned then stared at him.

"Shining Armor. You are in his city and our home. You will show him respect. Now shut up like the mom's boy you are."

I smiled at his shocked gaze. "I think you broke him Twilight sweetie." We laughed as the two of us walked past him and to Koukaku room. After an hour we had everything packed and were ready to go. I looked around the room again and saw Twilight left the daggers I had made for her. "Sweetie your daggers." I saw she had also changed into a tight blouse with a thigh-high skirt.

"Oh, sorry I forgot to put them on after I got changed."

I smiled and grabbed them for her. "Ok, Twilight come here." She smiled and walked over to me. I wrapped the belt around her and fixed to her waist. "There we go." She laughed into her hand as she looked up at me.

"My guardian ghoul."

I narrowed my eyes an smiled down at her. "Oh, my little bookworm." She blushed when I pulled her back with a slit tug. "Come on Twilight you know I'll playing with you." She laughed as I let her go. We walked out of the room and back to my office. We walked up to the door and saw Shining armor was gone. We walked up to the door and heard the others talking.

"Come on it's Twilight Rarity. All we have to do is dangle that new spell books in her face. Then she'll stay in Canterlot where she belongs. Besides, we all know red must have forced her to leave. The Twilight we know wouldn't just up and abanded the princess."

I listened in with Twilight by my side. She then forced her way past me when Rainbow stopped talking.

"RAINBOW!"

'Oh no.' It took me Applejack and Pinkie to pull them away from each other. I lifted Twilight onto my shoulder to keep her out of a fight. Applejack held Rainbow back as we looked around the estate for Armor. I was getting annoyed when we couldn't find him. "I swear to god if he's snooping around my city."

"There he is! Recover the shotgun files!'"

I heard a few of my butlers yelling as the chassed Armor onto the estate. He had filed in his arms. He was running past me then I grabbed his throat. I sat Twilight back down so I would have my other hand as our guards ran onto the estate.

"For the love of the sun Shining Armor."

Twilight sounded annoyed as she took the files from him. I looked at her after I let his throat go. "See I told you we should have kept them in my office. Yours is at the library anyone one could get in there if they wanted too." She sighed and opened a small magic portal in front of her. She sat the files in it then looked at me.

"Ok, I see you were ok? You told me someone would try to steal them and I didn't believe you. Are you happy Nick?"

I sighed and hugged her with one arm. "Forget about it for now Twilight. Later well have to come up with a better place to put them." She smiled and held my hand on her shoulder.

"Right, But for now we have to get going to the airship the have near the east side of the wall."

I took my hand off her shoulder and nodded. "Ok, you all ride ahead I have to assign a leader while we're away." five munites later me and two guards tied Shining arm behind his back. Plus, I used paint to make a dick on his face.

"I'm going to beat you to death red."

I laughed as they started to ride out of the city with Armor riding a jackass. 'I don't care who you are that is funny.' They were outside the estate gate and then I turned to Heavy Metal. "Rosa is in charge until I get back Metal. make sure Rage doesn't kill the nobles without me." He smiled then gave me a thumbs up. I nodded then walked back into the house. I got silver skull and my axe from the old captain. I walked back out to the stable and got onto my horse then started to ride to the airship. 'Hey, death I want to make a deal.' A few seconds later he answered.

'I'm listening.'

'I was wondering if you'd like to see this world turned upside down. Becuase as of this moment Luna and Celestia are a big problem. I need one of them on my side.'

'Ok, but what does that have to do with a deal?'

I laughed then explained. 'If you help me with this I will find and kill ten people for you. I know everyone has someone or many they want to die.' He was quiet for a few then spoke.

'I only want five. one you will have to face soon.'

I smiled as I kept the conversation going. 'Now we're getting somewhere who is you want me to kill first.'

'Blueblood.'

My mind stopped at that. I shook my head a few times then started to talk to him again. 'Ok, well that is a surprise to hear that. How do you want it done?' He laughed darkly then answered with a cold edge in his voice.

'I want ghouls to kill him.'

I laughed as I saw Twilight and the girls. 'Cool, now I just want you to help to get one of the princesses on my side.'

'Once you've come up with a plan call out to me again.'

Twilight pov

I was riding down the streets of Nick's city with my friends behind me.

"Miss Twilight!"

I pulled on the Raines to stop my horse when I heard a little girl's voice.

"Miss Twilight!"

The voice was coming from my right. I looked down to see who was yelling at me. I smiled when I saw one of the girls I've been teaching to read. "Sunny how are you?" I jumped off one side while holding my skirt and daggers. She ran up and hugged my legs. She looked up at me with a happy smile.

"I wanted to tell you that I read a whole book all by myself last night!"

I smiled and hugged her the best I could. "That's great Sunny! I told you that you could do it if you tried." She smiled up at me. I loved the children of the cu=ity like they were my own. I looked down at her smiling face then started to wonder if Nick ever wanted to have kids.

"Well seems you all didn't get far."

I stopped thinking as rode up behind us on his horse. He dismounted the horse then walked over to us. I smiled and then patted Sunny's head.

"Ah, I see Sunny have you been reading with your mother again?"

Sunny let my legs go then looked at Nick.

"Yes Sir, last night I read a whole book all by myself."

Nick smiled and kneeled down in front of Sunny. He ruffled her hair and laughed a little then started to talk.

"That's great Sunny. Just how far you've come and after you said you'd never learn to read. It's like I told you Sunny. All you have to do is try then you'll get it in time."

She walked over to him then hugged his legs then started to run home.

"Good seeing you Mr. Nick, Miss Twilight!"

We waved at her as she ran down the street. I walked back over to my horse and tried to get back the saddle. I realized I couldn't without my panties showing.

"Let me help you."

I heard Nick behind me then he grabbed my sides. He lifts me up as I pulled on the saddle. Plus, where he's standing he blocked anyone or see something they shouldn't see.

"Get your hands off her!"

I turned my head and yelled at him."Shut up Shining Armor! I'm a grown woman." I turned back around then smiled. "Oh, and Shining earlier you got it wrong." I wanted to make a point about Nick. I rode closer to him and spoke lowly so only he could hear me. "I'm only going to say this once big brother. Nick is not a RED!" He flinched as I empathized the word red. I smiled softly down to him as he looked up at me. "Is that clear?" He nodded then we all started to head to the airship again.

"Man Twilight learned to be scary."

"No kidding darling."

I huffed as Nick rode up beside me. He smiled as he looked at me.

"Like you've told me don't let them get to you."

He smirked as I frowned and made lightning crackle around my hand. "I don't want my own words thrown back at me Nick." He flinched and pulled ahead of me with sweat on his forehead.

Nick pov thirty minutes later

We all us loaded onto the airship after I punched Shining Armor for trying to stab me. His guard all laughed at him when they said he had a dick of his face.

"Come on Nick, let's find a room before my brother can separate our rooms."

She grabbed my arm and pulled me into the ship. We were checking room when Twilight spoke up.

"Here's an empty one."

I closed the door on what I was sure to be a applejacks room if the cowgirl's boots mean anything. I walked over to her door as she walked in. I saw an empty desk, two beds and a window on the wall. "Nice room." I closed the door as I walked into the room.

"Yes, it is. My only problem is that is a two-bedroom, not a one bed."

I smiled and walked over to the bed on the right. "Lucky for us I can fix that. Move over to the door please." She nodded then I extended three of my tails. I slid my tails under and around the bed. I pushed them together to make a queen-sized bed. Twilight then walked over to the bed then sat down. I retracted my tails as she looked at me.

"You knew that never gets old seeing your eyes turn blue and black. Hey, do you think you can show me the ones on your shoulders?"

I thought about it and didn't see the harm in showing her. I extended my Koukaku and wrapped it around my arm tightly. The edge of the blade was blue and the spin of the purple. I saw they somehow the grew a foot an half from the last time I used them making them a full length of four an half feet. I extended one of my tails and sat down on it like a chair.

"It's so different from the tails."

She started to pock it while I sat there.

"It seems so much like a forged blade. Looks like the scars the dragon clans can make when they use their magic. I wonder if we had kids would they have either it or the tails."

I blushed as she started to run her hands down my arm armor. "Um, a little early to think about kids don't you think? I mean just think about it Twilight I don't even think we're ready to have kids."

"KIDS!"

I heard Armor than a struggle. I quickly retracted my Koukaku as fast as I could. Our door was kicked in with Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie trying to hold him back. They all stared at us. I nodded them staring at my lower half. I blinked then remembered my tail under me. "Fuck."

"Twilight get away from him!"

She huffed then sat down on my lap. I wrapped an arm around her out of instinct. Armor stared straight at me with murders intent. "What? I have not done anything to her."

"Like I believe that you son of a bitch!"

I rested my head and Twilight's shoulder as she looked at me out of the corner of her eye. "I think he needs a good shock Twilight." She nodded then purple lightning covered her right hand.

"You are right Nick. Girls unless you want to get shocked I suggest you'd move."

At her words, they were out the door. Armor got up then tried to run. The door slammed on him as he tried to get away. He turned back as Twilight stand up with lighting covering both hands.

"Twiliy!"

He screamed as the lighting was shocking him into next week. I was laughing as he fell to the ground with smoke coming from his hair.

"Now that you've learned your lesson. Get out of our room Shining Armor."

He nodded then slowly got to his feet. 'It's going to be a long ride.' Twilight and I stayed in the room for the rest of the day.

End of day one

Day two morning

Twilight woke me up the next morning before the sunrise. I saw she was in her underwear with a scared look on her face.

"Someone is trying it get in the room. A spell I put on the woke me up then I panicked and woke you up."

I nodded then grabbed silver skull and got out of bed. I quietly walked over to the door and readied myself for anything that could happen. I grabbed the door handle then opened the door quickly. I held the tip of silver skull ready to stab but stopped when I saw Fluttershy shaking in front of our door. I lowered my sword as I looked at her. "Sorry Fluttershy, what do you need?" She looked scared as she stood in the same spot.

"There was someone in the room beside me talking."

The room beside her was a storage room. I looked over at Twilight as she was getting on a pair of shorts and a shirt. "Where is your brother's room?" She walked over to the door then pointed to the door closed to the end of the hall. "Ok, you two stay in here and keep this door closed." They nodded then closed the door behind me. I quickly dashed over to his door. I checked the door and found it unlocked. 'Dumbass leaving the door unlocked.' I opened the door then walked into the room. I looked around the room and saw him sleeping in his bed. I covered his mouth then he woke up a second later. "Be quiet Shining. Fluttershy came to Twilight's and my room telling me someone was talking in that storage room next to her room. Now you and I are going to take care of it. Got it?" He nodded his head then I let him go.

"Give me second to get ready."

I waited over at the door with my back turned. Then heard a sword slowly getting drawn. "Don't even think about it Armor." The sound stopped suddenly then I heard him sigh.

"Fine but I will get rid of you one of these days."

I laughed as he walked up beside me. I grabbed the door handle then looked at him. "You're more than free to try once we get to Canterlot. But don't go cry to Twilight when I whip your ass." He snorted as we walked into the hall. We rest our backs on the wall beside the door then pressed our ears to the door.

"Are you sure they did hear you?"

I heard a young woman's voice.

"For the last time yes I'm sure."

I recognized that voice male voice. I stood back up and glared at the door. "ACE!!! RUBY!!!" A loud crash came from behind the door then a woman screamed. I kicked the door in and saw ten of my elite guards in the room.

"Oh, crap he found us!"

"I told you we should have asked before we snuck onto the airship!"

I stabbed sliver skull into the floor and then shut up when I crossed my arms. I glared at Ruby as she tried to hide behind Ace who looked ready to piss himself. "I know this was you two now talk." Ace crossed his arms making an x and shook his head quickly.

"No! I didn't come up with this plan I swear to the blue sky! Ruby talked us is sneaking onboard when she saw you and lady Twilight left with a guard detail!"

I felt my left eye twitch as I looked at them all. I calmed myself and took a deep breath. I rubbed my temples with my eyes tightly closed. I heard Armor laughing lightly behind and thought about punching him in the face.

"Hey, Sir Nick, who's the guy with the ugly mug?"

I had a good laugh at him when Ruby said he had an ugly mug.

"SHUT RED BASTERD!"

I stopped and glared at him. "Make me you sorry third rate guard!" We got into each other face with our swords ready to strike.

"Will you two stop it!"

"STAY OUT OF THIS!"

We both screamed and looked to the right and saw Twilight standing in the hall with all her friends. Twilight stood at the front with a look that could kill. I dropped my sword then hear Ruby in the room.

"You better run Sir Nick."

I did just that. I turned then ran down the hall to the crew living quarters.

"Your sleeping in the hall if you don't get back here right now!"

I yelled back to her as I ran. "I can live with that! Becuase I know that look in your eyes!" I heard someone behind me as I turned a corner. I turned my head slightly and saw Armor running behind me.

"She's right behind me! Keep running!"

I slammed through the kitchen door then held it open for him. "Get in here man!" He ran in then I slammed the door shut. I extended my tails and used them to brace the door.

"That is not going to hold her!"

I nodded then pointed to a sturdy metal table. "Get that!" He nodded then he ran over and started to push the table over. I used two of my tails to help him move the table. The two of us fixed the door shut. Then a slam came from the other side of the door.

"When I get my hands on you two!"

I sighed and retracted my tails. I leaned my back on the table as Twilight yelled through the door.

"Is it like this often?"

I look at Armor who had is back on the wall right in front of me. I laughed as I thought back to the first raid. "Ya, once but last time she was all but begging me not to leave. This time it was because neither you or I will swallow our pride. Honestly, I'd be more then happy to deal with you if you'd stop calling me a damn ghoul."

"That's something else re... Nick. Why do you call them ghouls right?"

I laughed a little as Twilight stopped banging on the door. "Why are they called ghouls? But so you know you'll have a hard time sleeping for the rest of your life." He looked at me now a little worried.

"Ya, I still want to know."

"They're gravedigger is a way to put it. I was working as a dove when we found out ghouls we tunneling under graveyards. They'd pay off gravediggers to hid the tunnel entrance."

"Are you saying that."

"That's right they took the bodies of the dead then ate them. They fix the coffins back into the ground like it never happened." He looked very disturbed at what I just told him. I looked at him then laughed a little more. "It's funny." He looked at me with a surprised look. Then narrowed his eyes as he looked at me.

"What is?"

"This whole life of mine. I lived with a drunken father that nearly beat me to death a dozen times. He refused to believe I was his child with these red eyes. Hell back then I thought my life was worthless all because of my red eyes. My mother bless her sweet soul tried to get me away from him. Then eleven years later I meet your sister." I had his attention now as he looked at me curiously.

"What did he do to you?"

I thought back to a day I got the scar on my face. 'I guess I can change that story a bit.' I crossed my legs as I looked at him while running my fingers over the gash scar on my cheek. "One day when I was seven, my father dragged my mother out of the house by her hair. He had drunk so much that night before that he was still drunk when he woke up that morning. He was drinking wine as he drag her out and over to a river near our house. He started to beat her when he finished that bottle of wine. I saw blood coming from her mouth and nose then panicked. I grabbed a busted ax handle the ran up behind him. I hit him back of the knees making him fall to his knees. Then I froze fear gripping me. He turned with a look in his eyes I knew too well. I thought I was about to get another beating and boy was I wrong." I crossed my arms as Shining looked very interested in my story.

"Ok, well keep going! What happened to your mother and you!"

I looked down to the ground with a deep frown on my face. "You see the scar on my here Shining Armor?"

"Ya, it's a nasty one too."

"Haha, nasty doesn't come close."

"What do you mean?"

I looked him dead in his eyes. "He stroke me in the face with it. It shattered against my face leaving a long gash on my face. The force of the hit sent me down into the river. I almost drowned that day. Then just a little while later I would come face to face with the people that would change my life forever. I meet Iwao after I finally managed to get out of the fast-moving river. I was bleeding badly from the gash and was so cold from the winds blowing. I tried to get back up but couldn't. I didn't have the strength to get to my free or to crawl. I don't know how long I laid there waiting for my mother to come a fix me up again."

"Again?"

He interrupted my story as I was starting to get to the made-up parts. "Yes, again would you like to see my other scars?" He nodded his head then I took my shirt off and saw his eyes go wide. " I wasn't kidding when I said he nearly beat me to death a dozen times my body is the proof." I turned the side so he could ee my back was full of scars too. I put my shirt back on then continued my story. "Now as I said. I was waiting for my mother to come and fix me up again. Not too long after I heard someone yelling however it wasn't my mother or father. I saw my dove and ghoul. A man with night black hair with a broadsword suddenly was sent flying through some trees that were in front of me. Then a ghoul or as you call them red burst through the trees as well. His face and shirt covered in blood but I didn't see any wounds on the man that was near me. The man stood up then saw me lying on the ground. I looked at him as he looked at me with eyes full of shock. Then I looked at the ghoul again. I saw his red and black eyes looking down at me." I stopped and covered my left eye as I then continued. "He asked if I was one of his kind. The original owner of Silver skill stabbed the ghoul in the back before I could answer. With the ghoul dead they both looked at me. They walked over to me then Silver skulls owner kick me onto my back cracking some of my rips as he kicked my chest. Making me scream scaring the both of them enough to make them both jump back. I guess they thought I was dead and thought my eyes were following them. Iwao realized I was alive he took off his coat then used his sword to cut off one of his sleeves. The other man tried to stop him saying I was already to far gone. Iwao punched him in the face then picked me up. He tied the sleeve around my head to stop the bleeding. They Iwao took me with them when they returned to their base. Two weeks later after I was healed Iwao with seven other doves took me home. When we got there both my mother and father were dead. What I saw that day still haunts my nightmares to this day. My mother's body torn limb to limb and her chest being ripped open. My father's head was gone and was hung from a tree by his intestines. I didn't care that my father was dead but my mother. She deserved so much better then she had. My father, on the other hand, got that what he deserved. Lwao took me in raising me like I was his own. I turned nine then started to train to become a dove just like him." I leaned back and let him take in all I've said to him. 'With any luck, he buys it then I can get him on my side. One princess is nice. But one Princess and the captain of the guard is better.

"I...I'm sorry to hear that Nick. I'm also sorry for calling you a red."

I laughed as I looked at him. "It's Shining just don't give anymore crap about my eyes. And maybe we could try and get along. I'm sure Twilight would love it if we didn't want to kill each other anymore." He laughed a few times then smiled.

"You know what I like the sound of that."

Then he stops smiling then stared at me.

"But I swear if you get her pregnant and not marry her I'll skin you."

I laughed at him then stood up. He smiled then stood up a second later. "At least I have you on my side. I've still got your father to worry about." Shining Armor laughed at me as I moved the table from under the doors. "Ok, I'm going to hope your sister left me a pillow at least. A blanket if I'm lucky." I turned and was about to open the door when he stopped me.

"Hang on Nick. If we can find her something to read she's calm down."

I turned to look at him. "Just where am I going to find a book?" He smirked as he looked at me.

"There's a large bookshelf in the captain's room."

I smiled as I looked at him."You and I will get along just fine. But I don't drink at all so don't invite we out for something like that." He laughed as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

"After what you just told me I'm not surprised, Nick."

We laughed for a minute at that. Then I left started my mission.

Twilight pov

I stopped banging on the door after a few tries at getting it open. I had given up on killing Nick and my brother for now. 'What till I get my hands you two oh just you wait.' I walked back to the rooms and saw all my friends standing outside their doors.

"Twilight darling are you alright?"

I calmed down with a heavy sigh. "Yes, Rarity I just wish those two could get along."

I heard Rainbow laugh behind me and I turned to her. "What's so funny Rainbow?" She whipped a tear from her eye then looked at me.

"Those two are probably killing each other right now. Besides If we get rid of Nick You'd come home where you belong."

Applejack stomped rainbow's foot making her jump around on one foot.I smiled and walked back into the room. I got a pillow and a blanket for Nick to use tonight.

"Surely your not going to make him sleep in the hall?"

I turned my head as I looked at Rarity. "Yes, I am." 'Besides with you all here, we can't have any privet time anyways.'

"If you won't let Nicky sleep I your room he can sleep with me!"

I heard Pinkie yell then I snapped to head to be looking at her. "Don't you touch him Pinkie." She laughed then pointed at me.

"You're just upset that you're not snuggled into him anymore. Or maybe you're scared he'll like snuggling me more."

"I huffed annoyed at her."

"I knew it!"

I frowned and started to set up a place for him to sleep.

"I can't see why you love that red-eyed freak... MY HEAD!"

I was about to hit her with a thunderbolt when Shining came up behind her. He came up behind her then grabbed the top of her head.

"You've got ten seconds to take all that back before I lock you in your room."

I was surprised at what just I heard and saw that. I walked over as Shining threw her back into her room. "Since when did you like Nick?" He looked down at me with a sad smile.

"He told me somethings even you may not know about yet. But now that I know them I can trust him to be near you. I'm glad to hear he's nothing like his father."

My eyes widen as I looked at him. "He told you about his father?! I can't get him to talk about it!" He nodded his head as he looked at me.

"I got him talking about his past then he started to talk about his mother and father. I've got to say he had a horrible childhood. He even told me how he got that scar on his face. All of it because of his red eyes."

Rainbow got back out of the room and heard what Shining Armor.

"Oh, this is some juicy gossip."

Shining narrows his eyes as he looked at her.

"It's not my place to tell any of you. Nick should be the one to tell you all."

"Get in your rooms quick!"

We all heard Nick's voice then saw him run around the corner. He had a bag in his hand then grabbed me and threw me onto his shoulder.

"Get in your rooms now! None of us were out of our rooms."

He quickly ducked into our room then kicked the door shut. I heard him sigh then I poked his back a few times. "Um, why did you say none of us were out of our rooms? And what is in the bag?"

"Something you're going to love and hopefully keeps me from sleeping in the dog house."

I sat me down on the bed then handed me the bag. I opened the bags and saw. "Books!" I took one out and started to read it.

Nick pov

An hour later I was laying down beside Twilight as she read her second book.

"Nick I have a question."

I rolled over in bed and looked at her. "What do you want to know?" She used a piece of paper to mark her place. Then she looked at me with an annoyed look.

"Why did you share your past with Shining Armor before me?"

I looked at her for a second then sighed. "When you chased us into the kitchen it felt like when the ghoul overran our main base. Lwao locked me in a reinforced room. Do you really want to hear what I told him?"

"Yes, I want to know what happened to you. What made you what you are."

I looked at her then sighed. I sat up in the bed then rest my back on the headrest. I told her everything I told Shining Armor. At the end, she was crying into my chest about what happened to my mother. But she was happy at what happened to my father.
