Fugitives

Prologue – Blue Moon

You ever get the feeling that life could not get any worse?

Sure you can dismiss that feeling, push it into the back of that vault of a brain. Locking it up tight, but that feeling never really goes away. Does it?

Oh, wait, I haven’t even introduced myself. My name is Emerald, and I’m a tan Earth pony mare. I know, guess you didn’t expect a pony with the name of emerald to be an Earth Pony huh? I don’t know what my mother was thinking. To be fair my brother got the worst of the naming. Maiden doesn’t really suit a tall blue earth pony buck now does it?

But anyways, back to that horrible feeling. It will nag at you. Pick at your head until the day you are put in the ground. Sometimes I think it just the result of overreacting. Or stress, could be both I suppose. My brother told me once “Never let that feeling take over” but is that really an option for this situation.

I should probably let you know what is happening. The Royal guard showed up with a warrant for the arrest of me, Maiden, and my Mother. It sounds like we did something bad, but those two won’t tell me anything. It’s like they themselves don’t even know what is happening.

Now we are on the run. Town to town, city to city, always hiding, never trusting anyone. It’s not a great life, but at least I have my family.

And there is that nagging feeling again. I really need to see some sort of shrink or something.

But for now, I’m gonna start from where it began for me.

Author's Note

So, I don't really know where to begin. I might just say that new chapters on ever other Friday. Hopefully I can keep to this schedule. Feel free to leave feedback!
