Into the Fire

"DAD!" Firestarter cried out to his dad as he hung onto the side railing for dear life.

"FIRE! HOLD ON OK! I'M COMING!" Shouted Blackwings.

It had only been thirty minutes into the tour of the E.R.F.S (Equestrian Research Facility of Science) and a slight earthquake had happened,causing Firestarter to get thrown off the walkway when his father,Blackwings was recovering from the earthquake. The facility was built in an area prone to earthquakes so it wasn't a surprise that the earthquake had happened.

"DAAAAD! I'M SLIPPING!" Firestarter cried as he started to slowly lose his grip.

Fire looked to the left and saw his dad grab a metal pole then gallop back to him.

"FIRE! GRAB THIS!" Blackwings shouted.

Fire reached out to grab the pole with his mouth when the building felt an aftershock and Fire lost his grip and started falling.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" Fire screamed before landing in a giant bucket like building that had a lava like substance in it.

"FIRE! NO!" Blackwings yelled as he watched his son land in the vat.

TWO HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT

"Cmon dad! We are gonna be late!" Shouted an excited Firestarter as he jumped around his house living room.

Blackwings came through to the living room with Fire's mother,Grace and trotted up to Fire.

"Woah,Slow down there kiddo! We have plenty of time" Laughed Blackwings as he ruffled Fires mane.

Grace laughed.

"He was just like you when you were his age. Excited about everything." Grace said with a laugh.

"Oh stop it honey." Blackwings mumbled as he blushed.

Fire pretended to vomit as he stuck his tongue out.

"Ewww stop saying so much lovey wuvey things and lets go!" Fire shouted.

Grace and Blackwings laughed.

"Fine,Fine. Lets go." Blackwings chuckled.

"YAY!!!" Fire shouted in glee.

Blackwings kissed Grace on the cheek and went outside to see Fire bouncing around outside.

"Be careful now!" Grace shouted to the two as she waved.

"Honey,Stop. You worry to much." Blackwings smiled.

"It's for a reason you know" Grace sighed as she kissed both Fire and Blackwings.

Fire got onto his fathers back as he liked going on his back. That and Fire just hated walking to the train station.

"Bye you two! See you later!" Grace shouted.

"Bye mum!" Firestarter shouted as he waved to his mother.

"Goodbye dear!" Shouted his father.

THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT

It was only a one hour trip from the train station to the research facility. Firestarter and his father walked up to the main gates of the facility and his father showed his ID Card. The two walked inside.

"Well,Here we are! The E.R.F.S!" Said Blackwings.

"The what?" Fire said confusingly.

"The Equestrian Research Facility of Science." his father explained.

"Ooooooh." Fire said.

"Now,You must promise not to run away. You must stay next to me at ALL times." Blackwings said with his serious voice.

"Yes sir!" Fire shouted.

His father smiled and started moving forward. Fire followed.

FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT

Firestarter and Blackwings had neared the end of the tour. The last place was the chemical part of the facility.

"Woaaaaah..." Fire gazed at all the huge bucket like containers that had substances of different colours in them.

"And this. Is the chemical part of the facility. Pretty cool huh?" Blackwings smiled.

"Uh huh.." Fire nodded as he kept his mouth open in amazement.

Fire sticked his head out over the railings and his father immediately pulled him back.

"Wha?!" Fire jumped.

"Don't do that! What if you fell in?!" Blackwings shouted.

Fire looked down.

"Sorry dad..." Fire mumbled.

Blackwings sighed and put a hoof on his mane and ruffled it.

"I'm sorry kiddo..I just..I just don't want you to get hurt...I mean...I can't live without you..." Blackwings said calmly.

"I'm sorry as well dad. I should of thought about what I was going to do before I a-" Fire was interrupted by a shake.

The whole facility shook for a few seconds and then stopped.

"D-d-dad?! I'm scared!" Fire cried.

Suddenly the entire facility gave one giant shake and Fire was flung over the railings. He managed to grab onto the railing.

"DAD!" Fire cried out to his dad as he hung on for dear life.

"FIRE! HANG ON OK! I'M COMING!" Shouted Blackwings

Fire started slipping.

"DAAAAD! I'M SLIPPING!" Fire cried as he started to slowly lose his grip.

Fire looked to the left and saw his dad grab a metal pole then gallop back to him.

"FIRE! GRAB THIS!" Blackwings shouted.

Fire reached out to grab the pole with his mouth when the building felt an aftershock and Fire lost his grip and started falling.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" Fire screamed before landing in a giant bucket like building that had a lava like substance in it.

"FIRE! NO!" Blackwings yelled as he watched his son land in the vat.

Fire was under the lava like vat. He was flailing around trying to find what way was up. Fire lost all hope of surviving.....He let out his last gasp of air....
