Obsidian_Winter

Thank you so very much my Good Doctor. I've always wanted a sig like that, I'll consider it an early brithday present. lol Thanks Again! Obsidian Winter

She looked at Vinyl and asked her to close the door tightly behind her. No one would know what they were speaking about. She went over how she found out about Nightfalls relationship to her. They were brother and sister, but only half. I was going to say I slept with Whirlwind and he is the father, though if this is an Alicorn foal I have no idea how that will go over. She told Vinyl she loved her and wanted to be with her but Whirlwind was going to be in their lives now as the father of the foal. "So Nightfall, who exactly are you to this foal now? Do you want anything to do with it anymore?"

Obsidian walked with her brother now, quietly as the country sounding Cheer capatain introduced herself. She sighed as her brother put a special note on saying we were only half siblings. Oh well, he was a noob anyway. She listened intently to this Vinyl Blade and nodded in all the right spots, smiled when it seemed correct to and followed her along as she began her little tour of the school.

Applejack Whatever you feel works "If you can take this bull by the horns, you best be ready for a ride!" Thanks for doing this if I didn't miss my chance already. Loves!!!

She blinked, actually surprised he knew anything about the reason she came by. "If only it were that simple............brother...." She looked away, she couldn't believe she had not seen it. They both had a connection to the night....Nightfall....Obsidian Winter....it was all so obvious. She sat down and explained how they were half siblings, sharing the same father but not the same mother. She explained how rare it was for Alicorns to even be born and how they all shared a common connection, theirs just happened to be closer then most. "We have to keep this secret. No one knows officially about the rape and I intend to protect you against anyone finding out our relationship. Whirlwind has offered to claim our foal as his own...yes I'll look like a slut, but who doesn't in college? It would allow you to save face just in case anyone does find out. I would still want you involved with the foal, but it would be more discrete." She gently placed a hoof on his hoof and made him look at her. "I know this is hard...I spent most the day crying over this but its done, okay? You didn't know. You made a mistake. I forgive you. We have to look out for each other now."

Obsidian: She slowly walked with her half brother until they reached the school, then she slowed purposefully. She hadn't talked much with him since the incident and it was likely better that way. He had asked a few times why they had to move -again- and she just simply shrugged. He didn't seem to notice that the reason was the same -everytime- they had to move. Her. She really wasn't feeling like all the looks and stares that came with being an Alicorn. She hoped the ponies here knew enough to realize not all Alicorns are reigning royalty. Some of us are just has beens apart of dead family lines. Her brother and her were the last of their family line. She looked around the school, which seemed nice enough, and took a deep breath. 'Lets get this over with' she thought Apple Dapple She couldn't believe it was her first day of High School! Her Cousin Apple bloom was so jealous of her, it was adorable. She had spent the time the past few months helping her Cousin Applejack with apple bucking. She couldn't believe how strong Applejack was. It was inspiring to be around her. She trotted up to the school and a huge smile played across her lips. She was here. She was in High school. She knew her daddy would be proud of her for forcing herself to move on so soon after his passing. She stopped for a moment and thought of her daddy. "Ah, did it daddy....ah'm here..." she whispered to herself. She raised her head high, checked her saddlebags and trotted on inside for her first day of High school.

She knew it had to be awkward flying with her on his back, but she was honestly just too tired and weak to do it. They landed at the hospital and she walked up to the large building. With Whirlwind in tow, they made their way to Nightfalls room. She knocked gently and took a deep breath. Here we go.... "Nightfall, are you awake?"

She finished her tea and smiled at him weakly. "I need to visit Nightfall. He needs to know. You are welcome to come with me. In fact....if you think you are strong enough, you coud fly us there. But I want your word you won't hurt him, alright?" She looked at him with pleading eyes.

"I know this seems like a second chance.......where we can pick things up where we left them so long ago. I just don't know. I don't know if I can choose between Vinyl and you. She needs me. Here she is, a bad ass assassin, but we have a great relatiosnship dynamic. Its cute how she fllows me around. And I need her....but...now thst your here, it reminds me of wehat we had. Its all so confusing."

"Vinyl would never forgive me......she knows how strongly against cheating I am." She sighed. There was no way to win this was there? She sipped her tea and paced the floor. Maybe she could tell Vinyl. I mean how could she be mad at me for carrying my.....my....ugh, I can't even think it....anyway -his- foal. She knows I wasn't myself. I mean she was there. "Do you think we could tell her the truth? Maybe she would understand"

"Tea would be great actually...I need something to help me relax and calm down. I have no idea how I'm going to tell Nightfall or Vinyl. I feel so dirty......so......I don't even know. The pour foal would never live down the shame. I have to make certain no one finds out." She looked over to Whirlwind. "So how do we convince people its yours. Everyone knows I'm in a relationship with Vinyl."

After a long while she sighed in resignation. She nodded and laid her head against his neck and closed her eyes. Everything had come to a head finally. She was exhaused even though she had only just gotten up not to long ago. She would tell Nightfall tonight. He deserved to know....he at least deserved that.

Obsidian couldn't bring herself to tell whirlwind what their relation was but he seemed to understand the gravity of it. Deny Nightfall as the father? How could she? Yes her reputation and more so Nightfalls would be shattered. I mean she was raped, but Nightfall knew what he was doing. It would be crushing for him if this information got out. She cried a little more as Whirlwind held her. Finally she stopped and looked into his eyes. "We need to go see Nightfall....now."

After she gained control of herself she sniffled and continued to speak. "You know I'm pregnant with Nightfalls foal...but...I can't believe the obvious escaped me. I can't believe it escaped him." She took a long pause. "All Alicorns are related in some way. There are so few us that if you back far enough, we all share a common thread. Its why you never see Alicorns with other Alicorns. I was raised by a Unicorn...I guess she didn't know or thought it common sense......Nightfall and I are related....we're.....we're......." She couldn't bring herself to say it.

She walked in, totally dejected. She mindlessly walked over to his bed and sat. "I'm sorry Whirlwind....I didn't know where else to go..." She spoke so quietly it was as if Fluttershy was sittingin his room other then the usually strong, confident, even defiant mare she usually was. "I don't know what to do....I don't know what to tell Nightfall....as if being slipped drugs at the party wasn't enough....as if being taken advantage of while I wasn't in control of my own self...as if getting pregnant was punishment enough..." she trailed off. "That bastard....he should have KNOWN! I should have known! I should have stayed away from others...from all ponies regardless!" She broke out into tears, crying uncontrollably. "H-how...c..ccan I....carry...a child..l-like t-t-t-this..."

Obsidian awoke the next morning early. It actually was still night out. She had an appointment to keep with her Princess. She was lucky she was being seen at all but Luna always seemed to be happy to take time to see her subjects. Where Celestia always seemed busy with the day to day running of Equestria, Luna seemed to enjoy the luxury that most ponies had that worked night shift: Not a lot to do and a whole lot of time to do it in. Obsidian used her magic to arrive in an open grove. It wasn't far from the Campus but still took a lot of her magic to teleport there. The Princess of the Night stood waiting. Obsidian approached and bowed down respectfully. "You should know better, Obsidian. Family has no need to bow. All Alicorns are related in some way or another if you go far back enough." She rose quickly and smiled a little. Luna had come so very far in how she spoke to ponies. No more Royal Canterlot Voice, no more royal we and she stopped talking in old equestrian. It was nice. "Yes, Luna. Sorry. Thank you for all you have done for me, but your message in my dream seemed urgent. Whats wrong that you couldn't tell me in the dreamscape?" "What I need to tell you must be said in person." She said grimly. "There is something you must know about your history, your family and your child." Obsidian listened quietly. First in deep interest as luna explained her blood lines, then in mild shock as she went further. Shock gave way to disbelief which in turn gave way to sheer horror. She couldn't help but cry. Her beads glowed brightly but Luna embraced her, wrapping her large wings around the young Alicorn. "We...'I' am so sorry Obsidian. Do not fret for I am with you in this." Obsidian cried for what felt like hours as the moon began to lower and the sun began to rise. She was shattered. She had no idea what she was suppose to do. Finally when she was able to stop crying and gained a fraction of strength, Luna and her parted ways with a promise to meet again in the dreamscape later. It was time to meet up with Whirlwind. She walked...she didn't fly. She didn't have the heart. Her magic felt sapped and she couldn't feel more utterly defeated. She walked to the male dorms and knocked quietly on Whirlwinds door, hoping he was home. She lowered her head and let the tears fall freely again.

IN your last statement, are you saying that he traced the image? I don't know, your entire comment just seems like you're trying to intentionally come off harsh. Even if the image was traced, the vectoring is amazing...Good job!

Obsidian just exchanged a smile with Vinyl. "You're not going to jail or Prison Boots. Why not just enjoy your victory? You're a student now, free to do what all students do. We'll see you around Dogboots." Obsidian and Vinyl used their shared magic to return to Vinyls room. It had been a long day of magic use and Obsidian was just spent. She still had one final place to visit; Whirlwinds room. She was still so exhausted and figured she would visit him first thing in the morning. Vinyl and her showered together, cleaning each other off and laid down to sleep. Everything was falling into place for the better, but she couldn't help but feel her other dark self was also pleased with what was happening. She shivered and prayed to Luna that she could maintain control so her Darker self didn't ruin all she was trying to repair.
