Trying to leave it all Behind
Immy whimpered as her flank got smacked once more by the whip. She had volunteered to take punishment in place of her friend,Fyre. Fyre was thought to have stolen food,but Immy knew her friend didn't. She ducked her head and her ears dropped,slowly backing away as the large stallion stomped towards her. "Don't steal food from my damn kitchen again." He said gruffly "Got that,You worthless little mare?" He spat in her mane,smirking,before he turned and stomped away. Immy sighed and shook her head "I'll go take a shower.." She murmured,trotting towards the bathroom.
--------Timeskip---
Immy walked out of the bathroom,drying her flame colored mane. She had a large smile on her face,knowing He would visit her again. Him. The Doctor. She threw her towel in the laundry hamper and shook herself like a dog,before strutting in her room,humming happily. She crawled into bed and got her diary,starting to write in it again.
Dear Doctor,
Today my friend got in trouble because she was caught stealing food from the kitchen. I stepped in and said that I had forced her to do it,and the Chef whipped me. It still sorta hurts,but not that much. I hope you can find a way to help me out of here!
Your best friend,
Immy.
Her head shot up as she flicked her ears like a cat,trying to detect the sound of him coming. Sure,he was late and showed up a few other nights,but he promised her last night he wouldn't be late again. She shoved her diary under her pillow and jumped off of her bed,trotting towards the window. She jumped up,and grabbed onto the windowsill,before using her wings to lift her up slightly. "D-Doctor?" She called out timidly. "Yes,Immy?" Came a voice from behind her. She yelped and let go,falling on her rump. The Doctor chuckled,and helped her up "I told you I'd keep my promise." He said to her,ruffling up her fluffy mane. She giggled,and nudged him,before hugging him "How'd you get in?" She asked,letting go and backing away. He reached into the pocket of his brown coat,pulling out what looked like a screwdriver with a blue tip "This." He said simply,smiling at her. "I'm sorry Immy,but it looks like you have to go to bed. I'll get you when your older,Alright?" He trotted away,leaving a upset Immy. "That's what you say every night." She grumbled angrily,stomping to her bed.
Immy yawned,and rolled over. She groaned,and squinted,trying to ignore Celestia's sunlight. She sat up,and nudged her blanket away,before jumping out of bed. She trotted out of her room,and towards the kitchen,smacking her lips at the smell of bacon,pancakes,and scrambled eggs.
Immy took a seat beside Cloud Kicker,and rested her chin on the table. Cloud Kicker was cracking jokes about Dinky,but Immy didn't care at the moment. She was thinking so much that everyone was invisible. First,she mapped out the whole Orphanage in her head. Four entrances and exits,one emergency exit,two windows in every room and currently fourteen orphans..She multiplied the numbers in her head..So twenty eight windows. There was also an attic and basement.. A sly smirk came to her face. Now she had it all planned out in her head,and right on time,too! She raised her head as her plate came,and just dug right in,not caring about her table manners. She was going to need food if she was going to escape tonight!
She grunted as she tried to do her pull ups without using her wings. "One..Two..three..F-Still three." Her coach sighed,and glared at her "I should've known a mare can't do pull ups." He growled,trying to push her on. Immy glared right back,and folded her tiny wings,using her strength once more as she pulled herself up again,and let out an exhausted sigh. "Immy,I think you shoul-" He started,worried about the filly's strength,before she cut him off "No! I want to be the best mare that was ever in Gym!" She snapped,pulling herself up a fifth time before dropping to the mat,and got up,limping away. Her right foreleg really stung..
Immy bit back a whimper of pain as the Nurse used her magic to heal her scrape wound quickly,and smiled "Thank you Nurse Birch!" She jumped off the seat she was in,and skipped away to join her friends for lunch,her stomach rumbling already. She sniffed the smell once she got in the kitchen. Possibly Nachos,cornbread,and Rice? She smiled,and sped up her trot slightly,before taking a seat beside Rain Catcher. She waited anxiously for her food,and dug in again after it came.
Immy was curled up in bed,waiting for Lights Out to come. She sighed in relief as all the lights shut off and she heard the hoofsteps echo away. She sat up and grabbed her blanket,setting it on the ground. She set her teddy bear from The Doctor in it,a pillow,her diary and pencil,and tied the ends of the blanket together,before reaching under her bed and pulling out a stick. She had the chance to get a stick and sneak it under her bed at Recess,out of pure lucky,or it could possibly be the Doctor Helping her. She whimpered sadly..Did he already know she was running away from the Home? ..Possibly,but she tried to ignore the fact and stuck the stick in the small hole of the blanket's knot,before picking it up and racing to her window,jumping out. Nothing had ever been so painful in her entire life.. She had landed in the rosebed. immy sucked in air through clenched teeth,and crawled out. She sat down and began to quickly pick the thorns out,before getting up and grabbed her luggage again,half galloping and half trotting away. She was doing it. She wa finally escaping from the wretched place!
Immy raised her head,hearing a branch crack. She jumped up,and tried to mimic a Timberwolf's growl as best she could. She blinked as she she heard the hoofsteps stop "H..Hello?" Called out a familiar voice. She hoped it would be the Doctor. She grabbed her luggage,and snuck out of her cave. She had taken shelter in the Everfree forest for a few days,and still hadn't gotten her cutiemark. Immy slowly started to back away from the cave,and started to look for the route to Ponyville. Spotting an old dusty road,she trotted over to it and started to follow it. The silver pony stopped and looked behind her when she heard leaves rustle,surveying the land behind her before ignoring it and continuing on. Yes,the Everfree forest still scared her but it was the only place safe from the Home. They might look for her,Or track her down and punish her horribly! She shuddered at the thought,and sighed. She bumped head-first into a orange chest,and fell on her rump "S-Sorry!" She squeaked,looking up at the orange filly with a purple mane.
Scootaloo blinked at Immy,and smiled "Hey,It's fine. Who are you anyways?" She looked around,disgust on her face "And who would live in the everfree forest?" She looked back at the pony. "I'm Scootaloo." She announced proudly "Part of the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Hey,How about your join our club? You're a blank flank!" Immy turned her head to look at her silver plot,and smiled up at Scootaloo "A'ight! I'm.." She thought for a few seconds. Immy wouldn't work here,because the older ponies would be looking for her.. "I'm Moon-Moon!" Immy announced proudly after quick thinking. Scootaloo smiled,and picked the filly up,trotting away. "I'll show you Ponyville!" Scootaloo said happily
Immy held her TARDIS blue teddy bear by it's ear as Scootaloo pranced around,Showing her everyone's house and even Sweet Apple Acres! Immy smiled happily,and pranced up to Scootaloo "Thanks for showing me around,Scoots." Immy said gratefully. Scootaloo blushed lightly "Aw,It was nothin'! That's what a friend does,Right?" Immy nodded "Right!"
Sweetie Belle groaned "But Raaarrityyyy! I wanna meet the new member of our cluuuuub!" She whined. Rarity gritted her teeth together,before forcing a smile at Sweetie Belle "I'm sorry,but you have to stay perfectly still! Twilight needed my manikins for a spell." Rarity said all too calmly. She looked the the picture she'd taken of her client,and tilted her head.
Apple Bloom was in the club house with Scootaloo and Immy. She looked the silver filler up and down,before narrowing her eyes,and smiling happily "You are a new member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders,Moonie!" Apple Bloom announced finally,running over to the chest. She pulled out an old orange red blanket,and ran over to Immy,before tying it around her neck "Your very own cape!" Scootaloo chirped happily,and bounced around excitedly.
Sweetie Belle rushed into the club house,panting "Sorry I was late,Guys!" She said quickly,before smiling at immy "Welcome to Our Club, uhm.." Immy giggled "Moon-Moon,But you can call me Moonie." She explained. Sweetie Belle smiled and nodded "Yeah,Moonie! Welcome to our Club! I'm Sweetie Belle,She's Apple Bloom,and She's Scootaloo!"
"Uhm..Sweetie Belle..She already knows all of our names..." Scootaloo blinked,and cocked her head to the side "Oh.." Sweetie Belle smiled nervously and blushed "Y-Yeah,I knew that!" She squeaked
A few years had passed since Immy had escaped. The CMC had gotten their cutie marks,but she still didn't have hers yet. Immy stomped inside her house,bucking the door close,and trudging to the couch "Lazy plot good for nothing mule..." She snarled,before looked at the TARDIS blue teddy bear on the couch. She sighed,and picked it up by the ear,crawling onto the couch and curling up. "Doctor..Please visit me tonight. I miss you." She whispered,tears threatening to spill. She hugged the teddy bear closer,and sniffled,closing her eyes .
"Moonie?"
Her head shot up off the teddy bear,and she looked at her friend Scootaloo. "Oh...Hi,Scoots." She yawned. Scootaloo burst out laughing "You still sleep with a teddy bear?" Immy sighed and rolled her eyes "Psh. Go,I'm still sleepy." She sighed. Scoots smirked,and scoffed "Alright,Moonie. Seeya at work!" The orange pegasus skipped away happily.
That night,something inside Immy snapped. She didn't know what,probably the darkness welling up inside her. She smirked,and stomped out of her house,straight towards Colgate's house.
"No! Please! Don't!"
The mare's screams still echoed in her head. Even now,as she stomped through the blood filed house. She had ripped Colgate apart,and even tasted her. Blood dripped from her muzzle as she turned to look back at her work. Colgate's organs were strewn about the room,and the blue unicorn's head was in a chair.
She woke up the next day,curled up. She sighed,and buried her face in her pillow. She understood if the Doctor hated her now..she had killed a pony..But she forced herself out of bed,and out of the door.
Author's Note
Sorry for short chapter! But I didn't have much interest in this one,since I couldn't squeeze much from the thought of her being a killer.
