The life and adventure of HeartRoyali

Chapter 2

*

As time grew short HeartRoyali galloped at her top speed towards the meeting point. And just in time. But as suspected it didn’t really matter. As she was number 34 and it seemed like she would have to wait the entire day. Only 4 models were being on stage at the time. And laying in the grass trying to keep her makeup fresh for over half an hour wasn’t fun. All the other ponies were extremely talented. There were doubtfully any pad photos at all. But after so much boredom she were barely nervous anymore. But suddenly it was time. They called her number. “number 32 to 35 You’re up.” She didn’t really know the other ponies. None of them were too famous. Nothing to brag about. But as she stood there trying her best to make everything work with the other models one of the other mares stepped on her dress and made it rip. The sound was like her dreams. RRRIIP. The sound of the fabric being pulled apart was no louder than any other day. But it sounded like it was as loud as a police siren. It was over. They said she couldn’t model with a broken dress. She had to wait till the next round with no points from her photo-shoot.

She was ready to make sure not to give up. But when she came back near her cart she saw the worst. Hers and some other clothes were cut to pieces and laid on the ground in a circle. With a piece of paper stuck in the middle. “Newbies should know their place, we don’t have time to compete with losers like you” it said. #What the buck is this. Sabotage? I don’t need this kind of shit! I was nervous as It was. I knew I didn’t belong here. But this is too much!# “WHO IS THE BUCKING WHORES WHO DID THIS?” She screamed out, with tears slowly building up in her eyes. She flew towards the stage where the photo-shoot had continued without her. She landed just in front of the camera. “Somepony have shredded at least 10 dresses to pieces near the back carts! Including mine. This Is harassment and I demand you find the one responsible!” But everypony was just staring at her. Not a single pony out there moved. They all looked so judgmental. It was too much.

“This is not right…” She said and then flew off.

She flew across the sky for a while. Before she realized she was lost. And her wings were incredibly tired. She had to land and find out where she was.

As she landed she started walking looking for a sign. She only had to walk for around 20 minutes before she started seeing stuff she recognized. She was not too far from the train station. She was sure if she walked focused she would get there in no time. Or that is what she wished. After walking for nearly an hour she had to admit she was lost. Not just a bit. She was completely off track. And had no idea where she was. Lost in the middle of her home city. Wearing a flashy glittery dress and heavy makeup. What a pretty sight. She dragged herself on despite her sore hooves. But after so long the night had crawled up on the sky she had to give up. The last train departed long ago. And she had to find a place to sleep. So she went and looked for an inn instead or at least an open shop. But she realized that she had ended up in one of the more creepy neighborhoods. The road was filled with broken cars and carriages. And many windows were broken too. She could hear around 3 parties just near her. And she was pretty sure that stallion at the end of the road was puking on the wall.

She had no choice but to trot past the street. Just get by as soon as possible. That was her plan. No looking back. Just walking. But it wouldn’t last long till she heard a voice. “Going somewhere?” It sounded like a slightly drunk stallion around her age. She turned around to find a completely sober looking colt. Probably around 17 years she thought. “I missed my train and have nowhere to sleep” She said slightly insecure. “I see. Well if you help clean my shop then you can stay in our guest room” He said while staring at her. #Dude that is kidna creepy. It is in the middle of the night, and I don’t know you… but I do need somewhere to stay. And soon. He doesn’t look that old. It probably isn’t dangerous.# She thought to herself. She let out a sigh and said. “I guess I need to. So I’ll take you up on that offer.”

The stallion trotted towards the shop just down the street. And HeartRoyali followed just behind him as he locked them in. But as she entered she heard the door lock behind her. And she was surprised to see that his so called shop was much more of a mare-bar. Lightly dressed and naked mares were all over the shop. Crawling all over the stallions that were in there. Some of the mares looked at her briefly but then returned to their ‘Work’. Another stallion in a tuxedo went up to her and took a short glance at her. “Oy, oy, oy. No need to look so confused. You just need to do us a little favor. Then you can get the pay young Roller promised you… Not that I know what that was…” HeartRoyali was very much aware what was going on. And she did not plan on staying one second more.“Let me leave, I changed my mind.” She looked at him with furious eyes. “No, no, no, no. My little kitten. You can’t just leave now. We made a deal. And you better not think of escaping” He replied. She was about to say something back. But at that moment she noticed the worst. He had a gun. #Maybe I can just pretend and then hide till I can get away… I have to.#. “Okay… Fine… I’ll play your little game”. He lifted an eyebrow. “Like I don’t know what”. That comment just made her even more mad. But what could she do. She slowly walked into the room looking for a spot to stand unnoticeable. But as she was about to walk into one of the back rooms… “I’ll take the pink one over there. Full night.” An Older Stallion nodded his head towards her direction. She froze. “You gotta be crazy. Full night? Don’t make me laugh. Ya seriously got enough bits?” The stallion from before replied the older stallion. A big bag of bits landed on the counter. She knew it. It was over. She tried to move. But she was still frozen. Rock solid.
