Fallout Equestria: Ravel Melody

The next day, Ravel had woken up to the sound of the front door slamming open and the sounds of hoofs running and yelling from down stairs. He could make out the voices of the Diamond family, commander: Sapphire, and another voice that sounded familiar but couldn't put a hoof on it.

Ravel pulled the sheets off him and trotted to the bathroom where he had a few essentials that his masters gave to him. He quickly brushed his teeth and combed his maine then proceeded to the door to his room and rushed downstairs to where he found mistress Jewel complaining really loud about something to master max who was complaining right back to her. The kids must have went to there  bedrooms because as far as Ravel could see they weren't there.

Master Max noticed Ravel out of the corner of his eye and nodded to him to come forth. He did so and Master Max brought him close so that he could speak in his ear what about the other guards hearing him."Ravel, how have you been my friend".He said puting a hoof on his shoulder.

Ravel didn't take long to reply."I am fine master but might I ask what's going on?."

Max looked over to his wife who was discussing something with commander: Sapphire to which Sapphire was more than displeased with by the look on her face. And then looked back to Ravel."My friend we have a situation and I need your help, can you help me".

It was more as a reinsurance of trust, then a question.

I nodded (like I had a choice in the matter).

He gave a small smile."Thank you" then he called over one of the slaves to bring too chairs. We both took a seat and he began to tell me what happened.

"Well we were coming back from our trip to the Griffin slave company. It was pouring down rain and the misses wouldn't shut up the entire train ride".

We both shared a laugh then he got serious and continued.

"We were a few miles outside of Appaloosa and then without a warning the train grinded to a halt and poor little Grandent was almost thrown across the train cart if it hadn't been for his brother grabbing him in mid air". Max put his hoof up to his eyes in iteration then continued."I was so worried that it could have been train Raiders so instinctively I pulled out my pistol and told the kids and Jewel to hide under the seats, as I went to check out the situation."

I was on the edge of my seat never before have I heard something so action packed unless it came out of a book, but this was real life.

"So what happened next!". I yelled then put a hoof over my mouth realizing my outburst.

Master Max merely chuckled at my excitement then resumed his story."Well I went through all the karts until I got to the conductors booth where lieutenant: Strong Horn and two of my other guards bickering about something on the tracks. So I ask them what the situation was and they told me that a ponys body was spread across it".

I raise an eyebrow."If it was just a body then why all the big fuss, why not just run over it?"

"Well that's what I asked". He tilted his head towards where lieutenant: Strong was standing."But apparently somepony felt sympathetic and respectful. But that's besides the point, and the point is that the pony was alive!"

Alive? that's crazy that pony must have been out in the open for hours. I thought.

He continued when he saw the bemused look on my face."Yes well he was and is. So we took him in the train, went to town got a doctor, and now he's upstairs in one of the guest bedrooms".

"WHAT!". I caught myself after I saw the disapproving look on his face."Sorry master I spoke out of turn". I looked down.

He lifted my head to meet his gaze."It is fine and I appreciate your concern but everything is under control the doctor says he will be fine, he just took some bullets to his leg and a hit to his head but he will recover shortly and during this recovery time I want you to be his personal caretaker because the rest of us are far too busy AND I trust you".

I was overjoyed that he trusted me but was also nervous. What kind of a pony is a, why was he injured, what is his occupation? these thoughts course through my head.

"Um yes sir I will do my best". I smiled nervous.

He smiled back."I no you will, now go and get some rest you'll need it for tomorrow.

I was confused but then looked over his shoulder and noticed that it was still night then nodded, addressed the others in the room with respectful nods and went upstairs. I passed by the new ponies door, stood there for a minute, then proceeded to my room.

Goddesses tomorrow will be a long day.
