It happened again, like the night before, blackness covered Clovers eyes before he found himself back in this strange new form. He flung himself out of his house and back into the dark alley ways to search for his prey. Clover had eventually made his way back to the spot the criminals were usually, he waited in the shadows, for how long he didn't know.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" A mare's scream alerted him that they were near.

"Scream all you like, Bitch. It doesn't matter no more." Followed a familiar masculine voice, the owner was surely enjoying himself. A wide toothy grin had worked itself onto the beasts face.

The mare came into view, followed by the two stallions. She was cornered, but now so were they. Clover was losing control rapidly; his body became numb as it started to move by itself. He, or rather his body, charged towards the stallions as his vision darkened and blurred, before he lost all of himself he heard multiple screams of pain and fear.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Clover awoke to find himself completely back to normal and in his own bed, well, not completely back to normal, he found a scar on his left shoulder. "So, that really did happen then." He didn't know what to think, he had taken two lives that night. He was no saviour to the ponies, he really was a monster. "Hey!" He shouted into the air, "Did we really... do what I think we did?" He had become deathly quiet.

"If by that you mean kill, then yes." The soft voice echoed in his head. "Just look at it this way, how many lives do you think _they_have taken and how many more would they take if left to continue? You may think of yourself as a monster, but you redeemed that by slaying bigger monsters."

This calmed Clovers mind greatly, he didn't feel as bad about it now for his cause was just. With that weight off of his mind he prepared himself for his visit to the library.

He raised his hoof to the red door of the library, about to knock when he recalled the words of twilight sparkle two days ago, "You do realize that this is a library, right?" He pushed open the door and poked his head in before entering, just to make sure he wasn't barging in on anything.

"Umm, hello, anypony home?" a blinding flash appeared in front of him as soon as his entire body had entered. It was then he remembered what he had done, and who he was dealing with; a vigilante, but also royalty with god like powers. Fear had now set in and the voice was no longer there to tell him what he did was for the greater good.

"Hello Clover, are you ready?" Twilight asked, however Clover could not form words, his thought had tightened from fear. He replied with a nod

Along the way to the restaurant, Clover finally began to calm down and become comfortable around her, despite her power. Once they had arrived twilight took out a pad and quill which received an odd look from her companion. "Don't worry; I just want to get to know you better by asking some simple questions." She explained calmly.

"Well there's not much to know, I'm just an earth pony with a shop, that's it." He politely joked, however his mind was screaming "Don't say too much, she'll find out what I've done!"

"No, I'm talking to you as a friend, not as a princess or a random pony. I'm asking you these questions because of your connection to spike you would be connected to me and my friends, so I figured that it would be good for me to know who you are, not what you are."

Realising that Twilight Sparkle was not Mare Do Well in terms of personality, he began to open up to her about his past. "When I was a young colt my father owned my store, well not my store, it was his. I used to be a nuisance in there; in fact that's how I got my cutie mark, not through being lucky mind you. I don't know how I didn't see it coming with a name like _Clumsy_ Clover, it's funny though my cousin, Caramel, has a different cutie mark, but it means the exact same thing." Twilight jotted down every word he said whilst Clover reminisced through the years of his life, of course he missed out the bits with the meteor and his nightly events, he wasn't that clumsy. "I think that's everything."

Clover was surprised to realise that whilst he was talking it had gone dark but he had not transformed. "It seems like my unmentionable moment has bought me some free time." He thought to himself.

"Well I think I should get going, it's getting late. Oh! I have an idea; I could introduce you to mine and spike's friends, considering how close you are to us already. Is tomorrow O.K?" Twilight said excitedly.

"Oh, sure. Same tame as before then. Bye" He said as he walked off home
