Love of Darkness
Chapter 9: Regrets and confessions
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Why? Why did I say yes?" Ezio said banging his head against the wall as the shower water fell on him like hot rain. "I'm putting her in danger. The longer I stay with her, the more I'm gonna fall deeper in love with her."
"What about my brothers? They may not be my real brothers, but we stood together throughout everything. They stood up for me all the time. Everytime I was down. They picked me up, but when was the last time I stood by their sides?" Ezio said as a tear rolled down his bone white skin.
"Mother and father. I never knew them, but they chose to set me free down the river while they stayed behind. They could've left me in that godforsaken country, but let me go the America." Ezio said stepping out of the shower with a towel around his body and walked toward the mirror.
"And you." He said to the mirror. "You changed ponies life's." Ezio starting to count." Marcello, Amanda, Evergreen, Dontoa and Eclipse on numerous ocassions." He started to chuckle. "You're strong no matter what any one says. Even without these powers that we have." He gave a smile into the mirror. "But what are we gonna do. Join the beast, or save our love ones. Why do I feel like Cole from Infamous 2?" Ezio said screaming the last sentence into the darkness. "She knows what to do, but I can't hurt Rainbow Dash. I just need to go to the date and just leave after. I'm a stallion of my word." Ezio said drying his mane. "Why can't I live a normal life?"
Just after the saying the mirror started laughing. "You being strong. You're nothing without me." The reflection said as Ezio looked in the face of horror and remembrance.
"No. You're not real. It was a dream." Ezio said to the stitched and bloody face of the demon from his dream at Rainbow's.
"I assure you I am real and this is no dream Ezio." The reflection said with an evil laugh.
"How do you know my name?" Ezio said stumbling for the door, but the knob disappeared.
"I know your name because it's OUR name." The reflection Ezio said with an evil smile.
"What are yo-" Ezio cut himself off. "The beast?" Ezio said shocked.
"Well a subconscious form of the beast, but yes Ezio. I'm the beast. Heed my words Ezio, fight the beast, and lose your life." The fake Ezio disappeared and only left steam from the shower. The doorknob became visible and Ezio stumbled out lading on his flank.
The hours passed and Ezio left for his date with Rainbow Dash at her house. Ezio reached out his hoof and knocked on the door.
"Ezio!!." Rainbow said as her crush walked in the door. They did the exact same thing they did after Dash's attack. They watched movies, talked, Ezio spoke about how many places he's been to and how many parents he had, and watched their favorite band, Breaking Benjamin, until the early morning.
"So they were being boring, so I decided to replace the bullet shells with hard chocolate so then they would explode chocolate. I forgot about the actual bullets inside, so it was more yummy, delicious, painful, lead poisoning for me." Ezio said laughing while Rainbow Dash was laughing with him. "Ow my neck." Ezio said rubbimg in his neck.
"What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash said looking at his neck
"Just felt a sting, but it's okay." Ezio said as Rainbow Dash and him put their attention on Benjamin Burnley as he started singing Rember Everything. Which was weird because that's Five Finger Death Punch's song, but it sounded better with him singing it. .
"Ezio, can I ask you a question?" Rainbow Dash said looking into the crimson eyes of Ezio.
"Anything Dashie. What is it?" Ezio said with curiosity.
"Ummm do you like me?" Rainbow Dash said not looking to hear no.
"Of course. You're awesome." Ezio said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, but do you..." She was trying to say the words but was afraid his answer would be no. "love me?" Rainbow Dash said preparing for a no this time.
"Rainbow Dash. You love me?"
"Yes Ezio. You're handsome and well you were nice to me when Ally attacked me. So yes Ezio, I love you." Rainbow Dash said looking directly into the crimson eyes of Ezio.
"I love you." Ezio says looking back into the eyes of the Pegasus. They stayed up for a hour after their confession and fell asleep in eachothers arms.
