open Broken Souls

[Aurora Lights 206]

Black Glade sighs as his head hangs low,he slowly trots through the street,he closes his eyes as he walks,he had a small figure,he seemed fragile and feeble,but he was tough enough to withstand constant torture through sleepless nights,constant hallucinations and gruesome images in his mind,not to mention he gathered spirits of the past because of his unnatural powers,they are attracted to him,he's like a magnet for them. He sighs,slowly trotting through what seems like a sea of ponies,just to get to his destination. He constantly got odd glances and looks from the surrounding ponies. He finally reached the carrot stand and bought some,he was silent till he placed his order," Three carrots please..."he asks softly,his timid voice not sounding very confident in himself,the mare gave him the carrots,he paid for them,and then trotted off. He sighed to himself,"Why do these...Things...Keep pestering me..."lately there are some strange souls that were...well...grey...they had no emotional attachments,no voices,just blank,gray faces and bodies... 

 

He sighs softly as he sits on the park bench,he stares up at the dark clouds and blinks once,then he feels the rain hit his fur,it was cold,because soon it would be winter,"Winter...Cold...Dark..."he looks down and shakes his head softly and slowly. He takes out his carrots as the rain starts pouring,he eats the food he paid for and sat,watching the ponies scatter,or some that brought umbrellas open them and continue to trot down the walk-ways. He looks down as his vision blurs slightly,he looks up and he sees his parents,standing in the rain,holding an umbrella,he blinks once and takes a deep breath,"...Why now?...Why do you come now?"he asks,they both just stare blankly at him before their faces distort and twist and they start to rot away,into nothing but piles of putrid flesh and dark,old blood. He blinks again and he sees nothing there now,it was all a hallucination...

 

He gulps and looks down,a tear slowly running down his cheek,the warm liquid feeling contrasted by the cold,harsh rain. He looks up to see the ponies walking still,he then looks to his side,seeing a blue spirit-pony manifesting,it too was crying,it looked to be in pain as it spoke,"They left me...My friends...they drove me to this..." It murmured as he saw a cut on the ghost-pony's throat. He blinked as it condensed into an orb and flew towards him,then it swirled around him along with 6 other spirits.

Stareva trotted into the park and looked up at the sky as it started to rain "well I wonder what will happen today" she said to herself as she walked tward a lake, she then looked into the water seeing some fish swimming around, she then started walking around, not looking where she was going, she ended up bumping into a bench, "ow" she said as she looked up seeing that somepony was sitting there "umm... sorry about that" she said

Glade looks up and sees the mare bump into the bench and looks back down,the only acknowledgement he gives her is a flick of his ear before he closes his eyes...wait... He looks back up at the mare and stares intently at her,his bright green eyes reflecting her image back to her,he blinks and stands up," D-Do I...know you? You look...familiar..."he states skittishly,slowly taking a step back,he knows he's seen this mare before but...where? When?

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

She then looked back up at him "umm... no... don't think so" she answered, she then thought about it a bit more, "but maybe you've seen me around town from time to time, but I don't think we've actually met" she added "umm... well, my name is stareva draair, what's yours?" She asked

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade gulped softly and started to back away,she saw his pupils dilate then shrink to tiny pinpoints," S-Stareva?..."he looks away and starts to back up slowly,"I-um I...I gotta..."he turns tail and rushes away,he was truly scared of any mare that approached him,it's just because of his past,he sighed softly and looked back when he felt he was a safe distance away. 

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

"Umm... okay... should I chase after him? Should I... oh fudge it" she said to her self as she ran in the same direction as the stallion she then got to the entrance to the park looked bolth ways but she didn't see where he went " I wonder what that was all about?" She asked her self "well I guess I'll try left and see if he went that way" she said to her self as she headed to the left.

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade gulped as he hid in the bushes and watched her go left,he sighed softly before slowly crawling out and turned right,but he stopped in his tracks,he couldn't go left,he couldn't make himself,"Come on...she's probably trouble...I mean,she's a Mare for corn's sake!!"he said to himself,he sighed and slowly turned around to go left and he followed her a few paces back,making sure he was quiet,he would wait till they were at the pond,he knew these trails and walk-ways like the back of his hoof! He blinked and looked behind him,he felt he was being watched,but he couldn't see anyone... He shook his head,'Probably just one of those broken soul things...' he thought silently to himself and kept walking slowly,keeping eye contact with that strange mare.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

She kept on walking, but had the feeling of being followed 'is some one following me?... but who would be following me... umm... yeah can't think of anyone, so it's probably my imagination.... maybe I should look just to be sure' she thought, turning to look behind her...

[Aurora Lights 206]

@, 

 

Glade gulped as she started turning and he looked around and hopped into some bushes to hide,'That was too close...' He sighed softly and waited for her to turn back around and keep walking,he sighs softly and watches her intently,'Why am I so fixated on this mare? She's probably like all the others...' he thinks silently.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

"Hmm? Maybe was it a bird?" She said to her self "and again, I am talking to myself... I really need to stop doing that" she said in an annoyied voice "also why am I trying to find him, I mean really, normally I would just say sorry and be on my way, but...yet I'm trying to find him, and seriously he just ran off, why would I chase after him after that, maybe I should.... wait a minute, I really need to find someone to talk to besides myself!" She said while walking "wait... how did I end up at a pond... oh well" she said as she sat down next to the pond watching the fish swim around

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade gulped softly before he moved out of the bushes and followed her once more,they then ended up at a large pond filled with fish,he blinked and looked behind him,'I should leave...She probably won't even care...' He sighed softly before slowly trotting up behind her," H-Hi..."he says in a feeble voice,it was soft and quiet,almost like a whisper.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

"Huh? Oh, hi!" She replied looking up with a smile "so... why did you run off earlier?" she asked, "uh...I mean... you don't have to tell me, but it would be nice to know why your ran off" she said while looking back down at the fish "umm... also, if you don't mind me asking, but what is your name?" She asked

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade gulped at the series of questions but kept his head on his shoulders as he trembled slightly," I-I'm um...I'm...B-Black Glade..." he says quietly,he looks at the fish and tries not to let his mortal fear show," I-I ran because I'm s-scared o-of m-mares..."he said even quieter,his voice faultering as he stepped to the side farther away from her,his spirits swirling around his body slowly,though she could not see them.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

"Umm... okay... so you ran because your afraid of mares... well that's one I've never heard of, well I don't know who or what caused you to fear mares but you don't have to be afraid of me" she said as she stood up, she then looked over at him "but then again you probably don't believe me, huh?" She said while smiling, she then looked up at the sky, it was still raining but not as bad as earlier.

[Aurora Lights 206]

@,

 

 He sighed and looked down," It is a long story..."he said softly,rain making his mane fall over his eyes,he was looking down so it looked like such a pitiful scene,his fur was drenched,so she could see how small he really was,he looked weak and small,he was 20 but he was much smaller than most stallions and he sighed softly,his scars being shown through his fur. He loos up and sat down slowly," I-I..."his vision blurred as he stared at the pond blankly,the water started to turn red,the water then got thick and looked like a huge pool of blood,just then,there was a strange figure slowly rising out of the middle of the pond of blood,he stared at it's razor sharp teeth and it's black eyes,he gulped and blinked a few times as he looked around,the water was now normal water,it was another hallucination... 

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

She looked over noticing the scars on him, "also why do you seem like your sad or like your not always there?" She asked, and thought about what she said for a second, "wait... never mind, just pretend I didn't ask that" she said in a panicked voice, she then sat back down "wait, if your scared of mares, then why are you talking to me or... why are you even here, shouldn't you be trying to stay as far way from me as possible?" She asked 

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade blinked and sighed," I have lots of reasons why I'm sad,and I'm...well...I drift off thinking sometimes,nothing more." he seemed very defensive now,like she had asked something that they shouldn't even be talking about right now,he sighed,"as for why I'm not running away...i don't know..."he said and slowly stood,"but that's a good idea...But I've got a question for you...why did you try to chase me?"he asked her,looking at her curiously.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

"To be honest, I don't really know, I just felt like I should, so I did" she replied "I mean I don't want to not do something, that I might regret later" she added "well if your going to run off again, then I guess I'll be on my way as well, cause I really need to dry off" she said as she  started to  walk away, but then stopped and shook her head to dry her mane off a bit, and continued to walk away.

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade blinked and watched her and looked back at the pond and he sat back down,"...Wait..."he said to her,he felt like he could actually trust her,for some reason. He sighed and waved her back over,"come,sit over here and I'll tell you why I'm afraid of most mares.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

"Huh? You know you don't have to" she said looking over at him, but she did as he said and sat down next to him "I mean really you don't have to tell me, I mean we just met, plus how can you even trust me, I mean... umm... yeah never mind I don't even know what I mean" she said 

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade looked at her a moment and sighed," I don't know why I trust you,and I know we just met...but maybe telling someone about my past and why I'm so scared around mares will help me..."he sighed and looked down," My sister...she...she hated me,when I was a colt,she always would hit me and kick me...hard...she even cut me...that's why i have these scars,that's also why i never talk to my family,nor ever try to make contact with them...my mother and father abandoned me when I was young..."he sighed and looked down,"...i can see spirits,talk to them,hear them,feel their pain and suffering...i can harness their energy,but lately,I've been seeing ones that are...well...gray...they have no emotional attachments at all,not sadness,fear,hatred...nothing...they are blank and kind of...scare me..."he says to her.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

"Huh...well I can see why you would be afraid of mares, as for the spirit one, I would find kinda... cool, if it weren't for the feeling of there pain and suffering part and as for the blank ones with no emotions, that would... freak me out as well, I mean anything that seems emotionless, would freak me out" she said "but one thing we may have in common is that my parents may have abandoned me as well" she added seeming a bit sad

[Aurora Lights 206]

He sighs softly and nods," it was cool...10 years ago...now it's torturous. And as for the parent thing...you'll never forget it,but,as long as you don't let the abandonment get to you often,you'll be...well...alive."he states and looks at her," I don't know why they would abandon you.Your pretty. I like your mane. and...you have...Knives..." He gulps when he notices her blades and he stares at them,fear showing in his eyes as he starts to quiver,he was deathly afraid of any bladed weapons,for his abusive family scarred him forever.

[DragonoftheSkysWind 66]

She blushed a bit when she heard him "umm... yeah as for the swords,  I don't really know why I brought them along I mean I ain't doing any jobs today" she said, trying to avoid him noticing that she was blushing, "umm... so..." she said while trying to figure out what to say,  

[Aurora Lights 206]

Glade looked at her with a confused look,"Your a...Murderer? A hitpony?"he asked slowly backing away,of course,he wasn't the cleanest pony in the world either,but he tries to forget his past...He killed 5 ponies before and he did it because of his hallucinations...He was truly mentally disturbed. But he was never charged for murder,nor will he be,he's granted immunity because of his illness.
