edge- day 1- begining

doctor: let me repeat... what. is. your. name?

 

he has been back and forth at this for awhile now, you might as well give him something.

 

>anonymous...

 

doctor: FINALLY! some progress. mr. anonymous, we here know you have gone through alot in the past weeks. can you please tell us what happened.

 

>you fucking know what happened...

 

doctor: please mr. anonymous... we are only here to help you. youve been through alot.

 

>the only way you could help is if you either made me forget everything or if you killed me.

 

doctor: you know we can do neither of those things mr. anony-

 

>for the love of FUCK! CALL ME ANON!

 

your tone has gotten most of the peop- oh my... ponies... how could you say such a thing... you were used to this place. most of the ponies are now in a razzled state, they fear you.

 

how long has it been since you have been living in a world of talking ponies?

 

2...3 years now?

 

you know.... things were alot better back before any of this shit ever happened. you REALLY wish none of this ever happened.

 

doctor: im sorry.... anon... we can not kill you nore can we make you forget.

 

>why not?

 

doctor: anoooon... we want you to live... and you are..... a special case when it comes to magic. the princesses told us about what happened the last time anything magical was directed towards you... you nearly lost yourself.

 

>that could work too.

 

doctor:.... please.... start from the begining... remember anon... we just want to help.

 

>...ill tell you everything... but remember this... if i cant forget it..... i wont let ANY of YOU forget it.... itll mark equestrias histery books with red i swear it.

 

doctor: please... tell us...

 

you look him straight in the eyes for once. he had a blue coat of fur, had deep green eyes, and his cutiemark was that of one pindulum. this man thought he could handle anything... you can see weakness and you can see it in him.

 

>alright... but you might as well tell the people behind the two way mirror to come in as well if they want to get the full picture into their head.

 

the doctor looked at you with pinpricked eyes.

 

weakness indeed.

 

>three... weeks.... for three weeks that thing chased me you know...

 

doctor: we know anonymous, but we want to know everything... please start from the begining...

 

he just keeps repeating himself... like a parrot.

 

you might as well...

day one

--------------------------------------------------

pinkie: HAY ANON!!!

 

>GYAAAAH!!!

 

pinkie pie scared you so hard you had nearly jumped about 15 feet in the air.

 

>damnit pink-

 

pinkie: hay, so ive made sure that your birthday party is-

 

>really... you had to scare me just to say "hay anon... im inviting you to your own birthday"?

 

she looks at you with a smile

 

pinkie: yep!

 

god damn pinkie pie.

 

she was a good friend though...

 

>*sigh* where is it gonna be at?

 

pinkie: obviously your house silly!

 

>fine pinkie... now... give me some space today... i gotta clear my head.

 

pinkie: whys that anononony?

 

damnit pinkie...

 

>because today is... its the anniversary...

 

she lowers her head and then scoots her hoof a little bit.

 

pinkie; oh.... sorry...

 

you see, today was the anniversary to where you were supposed to be marrying your wife... but... you got sucked inside a portal instead just because of some... stupid space time stuff that twilight tried to explain to you once but you didnt want to listen to any of it. you wanna know what made you mad about being here the most? no alcohaul or drugs or anything... there was no way to excape from this technicolor reality. nothing

 

>its okay pinkie... ill.... ill be ready tonight...

 

pinkie pepps up just a little bit and gives you a boop on the nose and leaves.

 

that mare is the strangest, but she is fun to be around sometimes...

 

you sigh and get up from the bench you were sitting on, you were taking a brake from your weekly hike. you were in whitetail woods. you always found it very clear and refreshing to be here. whenever you needed to relax... this place would be there for you. you actually compeeted in the running of the leaves just to be there for it too. it doesnt need to make scince.

 

you think youve had enough and you begin to jog back to your house... if they are going to have a party in it, you might as well make sure that they dont fuck up anything in there.

 

before you can make it out of the woods:

 

*CRASH*

 

you know... thinking about it now... if you had just... gone home.... if you had just said "nah fuck it." and gone home... none of this.... NONE OF THIS.... would have fucking happened... you wouldnt have had to live through any of this. but you did....

 

you explore where the sound came from... a large crater being the source of what the sound was.

 

you thought for a second, how could something crash into the ground... cause a crater.... and then dissapear?

 

somthing was not right.

 

you know... even there you could have turned away.... but you didnt.

 

there was a small shift in the bushes. it was so little to cause anyone to think something was there, but just enough for you to hear it. you turn your head and look directly towards it. waiting.

 

you are dumb enough to go foreward to see what it is. the bush rustles again.

 

>get out of there and show yourself.

 

it complies slowly.

 

out comes a small hoof. and then another. slowly a figure starts to imurge.

 

it was just a filly. it had a... peach color... almost skin like. it was an earth pony. its eyes were closed though

 

>kid, what are you doing out here?

 

???: i.... was..... h-u-n-g-r-y....

 

the filies speech patterns were way off. you almost hitailed it out of there but something made you think.

 

>everything alright?

 

???:... yes..... yes i am...

 

its speech got better.

 

>so you were hungry?

 

???: yes.

 

more confident in its speech now.

 

you look back at the crator, then to the filly.

 

>why do you have your eyes closed then?

 

???:.......

 

>open your eyes if your alright.

 

it cracks a smile. and errie one.... its... its lips looked like they were attatched to one another with slits in them to show the insides of her mouth. its eyes began to open very slowly.

 

its sclera was pitch black while its iris was red.

 

>your not a pony... what... what are you?

 

???: i am... h-u-n-g-r-y...

 

its head began to elongate and its legs began to form into blade like apendages with joints. its tail looked like it was bladed as well.

 

all while it was transforming it made this terrible noise.... nightmare inducing screeching and wailing.

 

you booked it right then and there.

 

you would do the occasional look over the shoulder to find it chasing you just as fast as you were running, so you went into a sprint.

 

you were apart of a track team back when you were in highschool... but not anymore... you dont have the stamina you had back then, but this would work perfectly to get into ponyville.

 

the thing was not so good at keeping balanced while running, like it was a baby trying to walk for the first time. even though it was tripping over itself, it was keeping close by, mabe 4 seconds behind you.

 

you finally started to see ponyville in sight, you jumped over a brair patch like an olympian and bolted straight for ponyville. nothing was gonna stop you from at least being in public when this thing trys to kill you.

 

you make it to the border of ponyville and look back just once. the things has gotten tangled in the briar patch. good, you have achance to get everyone ready for what might happen.

 

>EVERYONE! BRACE YOURSELFS! THERE IS A DANGEROUS CREATURE COMING TOWARDS PONYVILLE!!!

 

you yell at the top of your lungs so you can get everyones attention, they do and most of everyone seals themselfs inside their homes. some brave stalions stay to see what everything is about.

 

stalion: where is it?!

 

>its stuck in the brair patch over ther-

 

it wasnt there anymore...

 

>sssshhit!!! get the mayor and tell her that we are in danger. a shape shifting... thing... might be in ponyville right now... im going to inform the princess.

 

stalion; will do... but... how will we know if its the thing or not?

 

>its perfected a speach pattern but itll fuck up sometimes when it says the word hungry. i guess it overflows its sences when it thinks of anything primal. also it cant run very well. if you see any pony be really jerky when they run, its probably it. i... i think it might have eaten a filly to be able to be where its at right now.

 

stalion: thats.... terrible...

 

>get going!

 

he nodds and makes a bee line right for the mayors office, you do the same over to twilights treehouse.

 

you dont take in anything to just kick the door open and have both spike and twilight be alarmed.

 

twilight: anon? what the he-

 

>no time! say hungry! both of you!

 

both of them: .... hungry?

 

>good. your both you. twilight i need to send a letter to the princess, this is urgent!

 

she didnt know what was happening, but she believed you.

 

you write a really quick letter to the princess explaining what is happening, you make spike send it right then and there.

 

twilight: whats happening anon?

 

>a monster... a... shapeshifting monster... not a changling... it... it ate a filly and its probably in ponyville right now. you can tell who it is if you get it to say hungry or if it runns weird.

 

spike: wha-

 

>no time for talk. twilight... your coming with me, seal the treehouse with a barrioir so it doesnt get spike.

 

she nods hesitantly and then you both set outside. she quickly makes a barrior.

 

twilight: what now?

 

>you get rarity and pinkie pie since they are here in ponyville.... im...

 

twilight: anon... you cant do this by yourse-

 

>shut up and do it while i go get applejack, fluttershy, and rainbow dash. remember what it told oyu. its probably foing to look like an earth pony... if anyone looks friendly, dont go near them... everyone should be scared out of their minds right now.

 

before twilight can say anything you begin to run over to fluttershys place.

 

>MEET ME BACK AT THE TREEHOUSE WHEN YOUR DONE!!!

 

twilight: OKAY!!!

 

you sprint all the way over to flutterhsy. you feel the burn but fuck it, lives are at stake here.

 

the second you see fluttershys cottage, you are fightened when you see the door off the hinges with a little bit of blood on it. no animals are around either.

 

>shit!

 

you run through her cottage trying to find her, but then you hear a yelp up stares.

 

once you make it up there, you see a frightened fluttershy and angel bunny closed up at the wall while a meaty looking figure comes closer to them.

 

you take a broken peice of wood from the ground and begin to jump for the creature

 

>FLUTTERSHY RUN!!!

 

the second the thing hears you it shows its new fangs seeping with blood and viscera hanging from it. now you know where all the animals are.

 

you stab the thing in its eye and stomp directly on it when you both fall to the ground

 

???: SCREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH

 

flutterhsy and angel bunny are still in the corner of the room pinned to the wall with their fear. you take them both in your arm and run outside

 

fluttershy: i-i-it j-j-just look-k-ked injured-d-d-d....

 

>its okay now shy... just hang on... were going to applejacks!

 

fluttershy: it... it ate.... all my... my animals....

 

she is really shaken up. you would be too after a very close encounter like that.

 

???: H-U-N-G-R-Y!!!!

 

the thing bursts out of the window and begins to crab walk... or run... towards you.

 

it looks like it has gained more mass since the last time you saw it. it seems as though if it eats living things, it can gain their mass.

 

none the less, this thing was charging for you and fluttershy.

 

it gained up really close but angel bunny slipped himself out and hopped madly at the creature.

 

fluttershy: angel bunny!!!

 

it jumped high enough to kick the thing in its eye that still had the peice of wood in it. the shock and pain sends the creature toppeling over and spinning on the ground a few times. it gets up just as fast and looks at the bunny with its one good eye.

 

???: i can.... see you... no matter.... w-h-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-t....

 

as it says that. about of hundred eyes open arounds its body all at once. this thing was the embodyment of nightmares... no... night terrors.

 

angel bunny is stopped right in his tracks and is picked up by one of the tendrills that just so happened to be casted by the creatures mouth.

 

while you run you cover flutterhsy's eyes. she didnt need to see what was going to happen next.

 

the creature slowly pulls the insared bunny into its gaping maw. before you know what was going to happen, it looks toward you with a sickening grin and then .... it.... it eats angel.

 

angel died quickly... bless that things soul.

 

you heard nothing but cracks and gulps coming from the thing behind you.

 

it wasnt moving though.

 

mabe it wasnt able to move while it was feeding.

 

its in the distance now... sweet apple aceres.

 

when you get there you see applejack big mac and applebloom all out in the field.

 

>applejack, get your familly inside the house right now!!!

 

applejack: anon? fluttershy/ what the hay is-

 

>DO IT!!!

 

she is shocked but big mac knows what is going on. he takes applebloom and heads inside.

 

>theres a shapeshifting monster on the loose! your coming with me! we are going to need all the elements of harmony!

 

applejack; well... you two do look mighty frightened... so you gotta be telling the truth.

 

flutterhsy: w-w-wheres angel bunny?

 

>.....

 

fluttershy:.... anon?

 

>.... flutterhsy...

 

flutterhsy: anon... where. is. angel?

 

she is crying, but her eyes have a look of anger in them.

 

>hes... hes gone shy...

 

she looks at you... closes her eyes... stops the waterworks and opens them again.

 

flutterhsy;... put me down.

 

you obey her wish and put her down.

 

>... if you know where rainbow would be... i need you to get her and fly down to the library... okay.

 

she gives you a single nod and flys off fast.

 

applejack looks at you with really worried eyes.

 

>... your coming with me.

 

applejack: anon... what about my familly?

 

she looks stern. you have to get this over with quickly.

 

you head over to the house that mac went into.

 

>mac, i need you to remember some stuff.

 

he comes in the same room with a emotionless but knowing face.

 

> the thing can turn into anything... but, you can tell it abart from anyone as long as you know how it runs and how it says hungery. when it says hungry it will fuck up. its run is still stupid. i want you to make sure noone gets inside or outside this house. got it?

 

mac: gotcha.

 

>if anyone shows up knocking at your door. dont open it no matter what. infact, make sure you set up a safe roo-

 

mac: we have a basement that has steel doors.

 

>you guys plan for stuff like this, huh?

 

mac: eeeyup.

 

you smile and give him a bro hoof.

 

>keep your familly safe and ill keep all of our friends safe.

 

mac; keep to your word anon.

 

>keep to yours.

 

after saying all of that, you and applejack make a mad sprint back to the treehouse.

 

applejack;... thanks anon...

 

>applejack right now is not the time to be thanking me.

 

she nods and you both continue to make it towards the treehouse.

 

there they are.

 

>all of you say hungry.

 

all of them: hungry.

 

twilight: applejacks turn.

 

applejack: hungry. now wheres fluttershy and rainbow dash?

 

rainbow dash: right here.

 

fluttershy lands right next to you.

 

fluttershy: what now?

 

she has such a fire in her voice now. i would too.

 

>were going inside the treehouse and waiting for the princess to arive.

 

rainbow: thats stupid, we need to-

 

>no dash. fuck whatever your thinking. that thing can do just about everything. we are waiting for the princess to get here.

 

rainbow is shocked that you would even say any of that. she was your bro, but you werent going to let anyone of your friends die today.

 

rainbow: so then why get us all together?

 

>i dont know if we are going to need the whole element beam thing, or if the princess can just... kill it herself.

 

rarity: oh my...

 

>rarity... where did you put sweetiebelle?

 

twilight: she is inside with spike.

 

>okay then... just making sure.

 

pinkie: so... whats gonna happen anon?

 

you look at pinkie. her hair is down and flat. she is shaking. she isnt cracking up at the creepy anymore. she knows how bad this is.

 

>well... im... im gonna wait out here for the princess. you guys are going into the treehouse.

 

twilight: why would you risk yourself like that?

 

>...i think... i think its hunting... for me. its just feasting on whatever it can get its hands on. if it comes near here, i can hopefully lure it off into the... the everfree forest.

 

rainbow: why would you take something dangerous where other dangerous things live?!

 

>if i get it in there... i can probably loose it. its not good at manuvering yet.

 

celestia: so you would be leading it out of ponyville, just to get yourslef killed?

 

you turn to see celestia and two royal guards at her sides.

 

>say hungry.

 

celestia: hungry. now answer my bit.

 

>yes... but like i said... i have a good shot there and-

 

celestia: no. i will not allow this. you are a member of my kingdom anon. everyone is equal under my domain weither they be pony... or human.

 

>well then what would you have me do princess/ the thing is killing things just to gain more mass. and if its gaining mass, that means its using living cells. do you know what that means?

 

she looks at you with a stern look.

 

>it means... its learning from the things it eats. soon it might be able to say hungry without fucking up. mabe itll be able to sprint right.

 

celestia finally understands and closes her eyes for a moment.

 

gaurd: princess?

 

celestia: i am fine.... anon... if it comes to that... i wish you the best of luck. i can not say if i am able to find you in the everfree forest. its own magic seals all spiritual aura. i would not be able to find you autimatically.

 

>as long as everyone else is safe.

 

twilight: princess... what are we supposed to do? this isnt discord.

 

celestia:no twilight. its not. im going to be on guard with anon, if i need you, i shall sommon you all, but in the meantime. stay withing your protective barrior.

 

fluttershy: that thing ate-

 

>shy... stay...

 

she looks at you with tears starting to crawll down her face.

 

you get down on one knee and wipe them.

 

>if you stay here and protect them... that would be the best you could do right now. i know exactly how you feel towards it... that thing ate.... it ate a filly before all of this... god i know how you feel. so... just stay here... okay?

 

she is hesitant, but nods and hugs you around your neck.

 

fluttershy:... make it pay.

 

>...ill... ill do that.

 

youve never heard flutterhsy be so bitter and hating before.

 

all the mane 6 walk into twilights treehouse anf you are left with celestia and her gaurds.

 

>... what are we going to do?

 

celestia: we wait. its hunting you right?

 

>yeah... itll come to us then.

 

you and celestia stand there for 3 hours, talking about what had happened and what you would have to do.

 

------------------------------------------

 

doctor: i think now would be a good brake point... wouldnt you agree ano-

 

>no... if we ae having brakes... lets seperate them by days.

 

doctor: your really going to explain what happened all of those 21 days? are you sure?

 

>if im going to have to tell you everything... im going to tell you EVERYTHING...

 

doctor: well...

 

he looks at his colleagues for an answer. they all nod in agreement.

 

doctor: we dont want you tireless over this anon, but if you feel that you can go as far as to what a whole day could go... for.. 20 more days... then we can allow this.

 

>good...

 

the ponies from the two way mirror are outside with you now.

 

its the main six and the two princesses.

 

>awww... you guys came to check up on me...

 

twilight: anony-

 

she is hushed by celestia holding a hoof infront of her.

 

celestia: anon.. youve changed in mind. we need to know exactly what went wrong.

 

>one again... you know... wht fucking happened.

 

you just cursed at the princess.

 

>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-*cough cough*-heheheheh... the look on your face is priceless.

 

luna; anonymous... please continue.

 

luna was always your favorite princess out of the two. why? she made the night. you liked the stars. you liked the moon. and most of all you like how it was allways cool in temperture at night.

 

>alrighty then... but be warned.... this is the part where we learned something really terrifying.

 

luna nods and you look back at the doctor.

 

>...get me outta this jacket and ill continue.

 

doctor: so anon, but we can not do th-

 

celestia: do it.

 

the doctor is bewildered. how could the princess tell him to do something unspeakable as letting a crazy loose.

 

doctor: but pri-

 

celestia: do. it. now.

 

the doctor hesitantly obeys her comand. the unbuckling of the straps leand you some comfort.

 

you slip the stupid jacket off and stretch. many audible pops and cracks can be heard.

 

>now... where did i leave off... oh yeah... night.

 

-----------------------------------

 

it was now night. the princess had asked her gaurds to head back to the castle and get luna.

 

it only took her 5 minutes to find you. she had a very worried look on her face.

 

celestia: luna... what happened?

 

luna: it... it has cacooned itself in the exit to ponyville. it is sleeping but at the same time awake. it does not attack, but it... it speaks... anonymouse... it wishes to see you.

 

those were the last words you wanted to hear, but you had to oblige to it. you needed to learn about it before it learned anything itself.

 

you are guided by both princesses to the flesh cacooned creature in the exit of ponyville.

 

>... you called for me?

 

???: yes! yes i did!

 

it seems... happy?

 

???: oh i have so much to ask!!!

 

>ask what?

 

???:get the princesses away first, and then we can both ask! GO! GO!

 

you look towards the princesses and motion them to leave.

 

luna: anonymous... what if this is a trick?

 

???: i do not l-i-i-i-e-e-e-e.

 

>get going... just tell me where you are going to be and ill meet you there. this things not going to hurt me... yet.

 

they obey and walk off. they told you to meet them at the treehouse.

 

>so... ask your question.

 

???: oh but i have so many... how about we make a game out of this?

 

>im not gonna play games with you when you ate... a fucking... filly....

 

???: heheheheh..... fine... fine.... then i guess we can at least ask each other a question after the others question and so on.

 

>just hurry up already.

 

???: what is your real name?

 

>.....

 

???: oh? i hit the jackpot huh?

 

>.... i lost my real name when i came here. there is no point in saying it. my name is anonymous now.

 

???:some call you anon for short. ill call you anon.

 

>no... only my friends call me anon.

 

???: im not a fri-

 

>NO! SHUT UP!!!

 

???:heheheheheheh....

 

>..... whats your name... your sentient now... you must have given yourself one.

 

???: ooooh.... a whole bunch of names come to mind. i like edge the most though... call me edge.

 

>why edge?

 

edge: when you first saw me... i was at the edge of your peripheral vision.

 

god. it just saying that made you go into shock. its name is... terrifying if you think about it like that. it could be anything. it could be anyone. and it could be right under your line of sight... thats why it named itself edge...

 

>.... my turn. is it true you have been learning through absorbing living mass?

 

edge: OHHH! good one! you guessed right!

 

>you were able to grow before... im guessing that you can shrink your mass as well?

 

edge: its more of compacting myself... but yes. my turn.... what are you exactly? all the ponies ive eaten dont know what you are exactly.

 

this thing HAS eaten more than just that filly and the animals.

 

>... im a human. i come from earth.

 

edge: earth? e-a-r-t-h hehehehahahAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

>whats so damn funny?

 

edge: your silly... earth doesnt exist anymore... we ate it years ago.

 

>what?

 

edge: like i said, we ate earth 789,363,726 years ago. where have you been? under a comets belly?

 

so this wasnt an alternate dimention that you popped up in.... it was just in the future... and on another planet.

 

edge: to think... im talking to the last... human... i think im in love.

 

>shut. up.

 

edge: do you love me too human?

 

>SHUT UP!

 

edge: tsk tsk tsk. your mean.

 

its voice is starting to sound more feminin.

 

edge: my turn.

 

>no its not.

 

edge: "what' counts as a question. so its my turn... ahem... do you know why im constantly searching for you?

 

>no.

 

edge: good.

 

>why is that good?

 

edge: that means that you werent in the time that we ate your planet.

 

> yeah... i figured that much.

 

edge: you see... we hunt our prey to... reproduce with them.

 

>im not letting that happen.

 

edge: but we also like to act like its a game along the way.

 

>eating living things

 

edge: oh dont be like that... its only because i like you so much.

 

>you say your kind ate my planet. if you wanted to reproduce with my kind, then why is that the case?

 

edge: each one of us hunted for something different, it didnt turn out so well since we didnt know what the dominant species was. so we all molded together and ate your planet... simple as that.

 

>.... monster.

 

edge: you know... some ... humans it think you called it... they liked it...

 

>you ate my planet...

 

edge: if it makes you feel any better... im the last of my kind.

 

so the last human in the universe... and the last.... whatever this thing was.

 

edge: you know... im suprized you werent so shocked at the reproducing part.

 

>ive been living with talking ponies... its hard to be shocked these days by something such as small as that.

 

edge: well... last question then...

 

it molds its form on the outside to look like a human female version of yourself.

 

edge: how long do you think you can last before i find you?

 

it laughs and bares its errie smile that it gave you when you first met it.

 

>long enough to see you dead in the end.

 

edge: oooooh.... fiesty.... well... i might as well lay down the rules.

 

>rules?

 

edge; indeed. or else this wouldnt be a game now would it? okay... first things first: rest times... i have them all the time from 7 pm all the way to 1 pm. you are not allowed to go at least... mmmmmmm... 500 miles away from me when i sleep or else ill come back here and eat up everyone till you return. you are allowed to exeed those 500 miles if i am awake, for i will be hunting you. you are allowed only 7 rest days. in these rest days, you will need to be near me or else i will come back here and eat everyone untill you return. hmmmm.... i dont think im forgetting anything else... well with that.... let the games begin.
