My Little Crystal: Love is Magic
TG: Ready for Murder
Previous ChapterI quickly became friends with Majesty, who opened my eyes to the treacherous town. Majesty was beautiful, but her family was very poor. When her family had kicked her out since they couldn't afford for her to stay, Majesty tried to find a job, but with a poor education, nothing seemed to work out. Soon, she revealed, she sold herself into prostitution, stripping down and loosing her innocence for the sake of not dying out on the streets. She said that she had been hired by the three men. She knew they were very unintelligent. When she had tried to trick them into paying more, they kidnapped her. For several days, they raped her mercilessly.
She had been more than grateful when I arranged for her to live in the room right next to me. Cadance sent me a care package every week, and I requested that she could send a few to Majesty, via letters. The princess was extremely excited about me making friends and helping out society. A few scraps of media had been at my door the next day after word got out. I got my name on the front page of The Equestrian Insider, and on the inside of several magazines and newspapers. I had clipped out the article and sent it to Cadance. She was very gleeful, and insisted to do something that she said Twilight Sparkle used to do with Celestia-- send a letter to her about what I learned.
I agreed.
Clashing Swords found me again a few days later, more than excited to invite me to a movie. I politely declined, showing him the stacks of paperwork I had to do. Masquerade was right-- my life was turning into paperwork. It turned out ambassador meant taking care of all the government's duties that had to do with Mirrorville. He seemed pretty depressed (so was I), but he quickly turned back to his cheerful self.
Yet, later, I had to depart from my four brand new friends (a world record) to go sit in my room and do nothing else but paperwork, until I heard the phone in my room ring. Nobody had the number, except for... Snatching it up, I heard the voice of nobody else but Paradise.
"Hey, there are two gentlecolts down here that want to talk to you, Twink. You might want to hurry." Her voice was strained. I quickly teleported to the first floor, rushing to the front desk. Paradise looked relieved-- and surprised-- when I got there so fast.
"Miss Twinkling Glass, follow us." The taller stallion neighed. They had hats-- fedoras, actually-- that covered their eyes from me, as they walked through the hallways, leading me to a small conference room, where they sat me down.
"Twinkling Glass, you are an incredibly gifted pony. You managed to take out three of Mirrorville's most wanted criminals alone, just off the top of your head. My partner and I have noticed this, and we did further research into you. You are a princess, along with an ambassador, providing you lethal relations. We have an offer for you. My name is not available for you to know until you agree, but the Crystal Heart celebration will be held here. We plan to retrieve the Crystal Heart to restore Sombra and his reign. We have an elite team of ponies, and we plan to assassinate Princess Cadance in the process. We want you to be the one to take her out." The pony smiled-- the smile was evil, wicked, and I scrambled away, but the door was locked.
"We had have a feeling you'd say no. Take her out." He nodded to the smaller stallion, who raced towards me, and I freaked out. Think. Think. Think.
I quickly teleported to the other side of the door, running for my life, sloppily blowing my hair to the side, making more fall into my face. There wasn't time to think about that now. The whole place was empty-- it was closing time. How? How had time gone so fast? They must have... A time charm! They sealed off the room to make time in there go so much slower than the outside, so in return they got a whole day's work done. Time charms usually had after effects on me, though, like dizziness, nausea... Oh Celestia. The headache hit me immediately, slowing me down. The doors were locked on the front. There was no security system, as people lived here, and they couldn't lock them in or out. The alarms would go off if you didn't have a key and broke through through the glass-- or teleported.
With a screech, just as she was about to slam into the door, she teleported, the wailing alarms going off and the ponies being caught dead center in the middle of the room, looking confused, the other one channeling massive amounts of energy. Sirens wailed in the distance, as three cop cars made it through the entry, rushing up to me.
"Stop!" The cop screamed at me, and I raised my hooves.
"Officer, there are two bandits inside who tried to kill m-" Suddenly a flash of light blinded me, and the cops began to yell as I heard glass shatter behind me. They were gone. The glass quickly flew up and repaired itself. Damn, this place had to be heavily charmed. They quickly ignored me, so I shoved my key in and headed upstairs. I had no time for this shit.
