The unknown filly

2.

“It’s seems bad , but this what we have to do right?”

“Dash we can keep but it be look on badly by all.”

I look up the rising moon. The city was lighting up, it was magical watching it.  At least for a moment my mind forget about the problem on hoof. I want to fly up to the top of on the skyscrapers. I can’t fly, I can’t even open my wings. Why did Crystal have to attack my wings? That is silly question. My wings are my pride and joy, my honour. The thing which made the pegasi great. They sting like hell. I can’t go to the doctors, they will take back to that place but that is a good thing? They won’t care it is better I'm out here. I look behind me at the staring face of fillies. I didn't see Tatsu. Where is she? Is she in with him. If he touches her, I will... I will... I will... I don't know. What can do? “Get out of here” I hear the head care worker shout. He throws a book at my head. I have got the message I need to move. I slowly walk away from the orphanage. What I am going to do? I'm homeless. I'm might get raped or killed. I am worrying about nothing. Soon as my wings heal I will fly and find my parents. What if their are rich or famous? Not be silly if they're not famous I would know about them. I slowly walk on, keeping my head down.

I walk down the road trying not to make eye contact with anypony. I walk past a gang of ponies, I feel there eye watching me. I almost walked past without any trouble. I bumped into a blue stallion. He look down at me his green eyes angry. “What the fuck are you doing mate?” He yells at me. I cower and quietly  say

“Sorry sir.” He looks at me and laughs. Turning to his gang he says

“This little filly said sorry?” his gang laughed too. The blue pony step forward towards to me. I shyly take a step back. “bruv you in to walk into fucking Blue Brownie, The best earth pony around. Sorry won’t do it.” He smiled at me. A sorry won’t do it? My heart racing the thoughts in my head.“How old are you?” he asked. I don't say a word. “How old are you?” He says again, less friendly this time. I just whipped at the intimating stallion, begging for mercy. He hit me across my face  “How old are you?” I not say anything out of fear. “Well today boys is the day we become a pedo then so be it” he chuckled. “But still a lads this going to be fun”  His gang members surrounding me. All of them earth ponies. One look at me with a strange look. “Hey, Brownie look she is a pegasus” The blue stallion look me with the same look. “Yo, before we rape your  little whore ass, why aren't you flying.?” I stand, looking at the ground.

“I can’t open them” I say quietly. They laughed

“Easy prey” One Pony said. One of them open my wings. The pain rushed up through my body. It was too much to bare. I started to feel dizzy, I suddenly saw black and the pain was gone.

I had fainted but I started to dream. In my dream I was in lovely house, it had perfect design walls.I looked around the house, it was cloud house!. There was a pool and games room. The pool was made out storm clouds, so it could be heated up in the winter. I had parents in the dream. I had  lovely, elegant and caring mum. She had lovely green eyes and a rainbow mane, like mine. My father was receptacle, dashing and a excellent flyer. He had full and thick mane. I felt like I was at home. I had this dream many times before, but never have the felt so real. I could feel the cloud under my hoofs. I felt my mum hug me. There speech felt real, it’s weird to say but true. I was so happy. I not want to wake up. My dream it was so real.

I woke up all of sudden to wake up on bench, way from where the gang attacked me. I look around to try a figure where I was. I could she a park behind me, it was full of dodgy ponies. The type which would sell you crack and then stab you. It is wired saying. I heard it from Tatsu, I think. My heart started to fill with worry. Tatsu, oh my. Is she okay? Did he touch her? my breathing started to get heavy all this was too much. I look in front of me. I see a tall and skinny grey pegasus, smiling at me. Her light purple mane was messy. She stood up from where she was sitting and said . “Dusty Poison is my name and poison is game” She smiled and carried on with her sales pitch. “Do you want any poison?” She lifted her wings to reveal hanging from them bottle of poison. Every bottle a different colour of the rainbow. I'm guessing there poison bottles. My jaw dropped on the amount she had, there was more than any saddle bag could hold. “So do you want any poison?” she asked.

“No I'm good." I said back getting a bit scared. She closed her wings, The bottles fitting perfectly between her body and wings. She sat on ground looking me, “Well what you name?” she asked. I debated in my head for second whether I should tell her or not. I decided it was not the best idea. “Come on please tell me you name, I told you mine. So you should tell me yours.”

“My name is Lighting.” I say, I'm not telling her my full name because I not want to give my full name to some random pony. “Well Lighting, I it is shame you not want any poison. That is my life, look at my cutie mark !” She turn around so she cloud show me it. It was a bottle with green fizzying liquid. “See, I would like to go professional but.. I can’t.” she sits down looking full disappointed. She sat looking at the ground, “Why?” I ask, not really knowing what the answer could be. She jump up.  “Legal reasons” That was obvious. “But if I could become professional I would have money and could get off the street.” She sat down again her mini day dream coming to close. All of a sudden a Unicorn wear and suit and a funny type of hat ran up to. Dusty knew who he was because smiled at him, but she cloud really happy all the time. “Dusty got some of the good stuff. The boss need a batch.” Dusty smiled at him Did she also sell drugs? Who is this crazy mare?.A frill of excitement made her jump up in the air. She open up her wings and grab a bottle of purple liquid. I read the label, ‘Kill him now!’ That kills ponies? What? Should I run? If  I run she might plan to kill me. I will just stay here. “There you go, 10 bits please” she said like this was perfectly normal. I guess it is for her but, for me it a shock. “Wow Dusty you never fail. The boss will pleased with this. “ the unicorn put a pocket of the suit he was wearing. “Well I would never disappoint him. He is one of my best customers and places tell him thank you giving my food money!” The unicorn nodded and ran away as quickly as came. “I have food money. I have food money.” she danced. The joy on her face from getting 10 worthless bits. This meant so much to her.  “Who was that I ask ?”

“Lemon Tightlips. He is a part of the pony Mafia.”  She said with a huge smile. “isn't that cool?”

“giving it away is all well and good but what the birth?”

“Your friend Twilight, she can help us?”

“I guess but it would be awesome if we can keep it.”

I nodded, a thought came across my mind, how did I get here? This thought should have crossed my mind a lot earlier, but I got so overwhelmed by Dusty . It just didn't. The gang wouldn't leave me here. They would of probably killed me. “How did I get here?” I ask hoping she knew what happened. She stop dancing and looked at me.

“Well Sally left you here.”  Who is Sally? and why did she bring me here?

“Who is Sally? and why did she bring me here” I ask

“Well to start off, Sally is not a mare. He is a stallion and he is very kind. I live with him  sometimes. I think Sally left you here because he had to go work and he thought I called keep ponies away from you.” She said with a pleased look.

“Why what does Sally work as?” I ask out general curiosity, he did save me after all.

“Umm.. Well he works as prostitute. He is no ordinary one tho! He is Sally Saddle the great cross dresser.” her voice getting softer. “Well really he, wants to be mare. He dressy up as one.” Her voice picking up a bit has she said it. “He wants to be an actor, but the only job he can get  is selling his body to confused stallions.” He sat with a sad expression. “Sorry it’s just he deserves more than that. He save me from dying and help set up my only source of money. I still live on the street.” she pointed to the alleyway opposite. “It’s not much but really. He is there for me. I can live with him at any time but, I like me alleyway. It’s home.” she said her voice trailing off. Could one pony fight of gang of ponies? I need to speak to him, but how? Wait Dusty mention she has a home of some sort. “Where can I find him, I want to thank him.” Dusty smiled. “Come with me, but not now I'm working and need the money to live. You can just sit there. If the cops come act cool and don’t worry about any pony trying to  attack you.” She open her wings, the bottles gave me comfort. It can kill me but I knew I could trust her.  “The last foolish pony who tried to mess with me ended up with his stallion hood brunt of by acid.” She laughed, that fact shock me a bit, but it was prove I was going to be safe. I need to go there, maybe he can help me too.
