Hey I know it's been a while, sorry. I've been off the internet for a while as well, if any of you know me for my drawings. (E621, Deviantart) Then you know I'm not even posting any art right now.. Sadly... Sorry, it's not under my control at the moment. But hopefully I'll be updating fairly often now.

Colgate's Entertainment Entry #9

“She’s beautiful isn’t she?” Berry asked, her hooves running over Colgate's mane as the young mare sat silently staring at Berry’s mother now propped up against the table Berry had been on a few days ago. The older mare only now waking up from her slumber, the coughing taking over her dry mouth as her eyes opened to view Colgate sitting down in front of Berry, carefully watching her as she hung from the tight leather straps.

“Why did you have to get all those guards involved?” She growled looking up at her mother but Colgate reached a hoof back and upon resting it on Berry’s hoof still playing with Colgate's mane she silenced her mares complaints. As Colgate stood she turned back around kissing Berry’s forehead dismissing her to the side of the room so she might take command of the situation.

She turned back to Berry’s mother with long confident strides, now standing only a few inches from the old mare. “You interrupted us….. I’m not happy with you, and as you have seen. Nor is she” She glanced back at Berry for only a moment before returning her focus to the table. “You are not worth it, my time or my preparations for a proper.. Servicing~” She sighed. “No, you are a cute little thing” She said gliding a hoof down the mothers chest. “But you're terrible terrible personality has put me off completely from you…. I leave control over what happens to you to your daughter. Let her decide what happens to you next”

Without glancing at Berry again she took her gaze off Berry’s mother and fled the room rather quickly. Berry frowned as she watched the blur of Colgate’s mane dart up the stairs and she was left alone with her mother, who was too stunned to be anything but silent.

A few moments later Colgate heard a sharp scream, the kind that came from a quick sloppy stabbing. She made a light growling noise at the inexperience of her mare but knew not to expect too much from Berry, at least not yet. She was eager to teach Berry everything she could but it would take time. Time she was willing to spend improving on Berry’s skill, her patience. But right now she was frustrated. Frustrated that she had to take time from training her mare to deal with this dull pony who had been giving her trouble for years now.

But as Berry climbed up the stairs she smelt the iron of blood, and knew that her problem was gone. In turning back to Berry she frowned as her magic cleaned Berry’s hooves of the blood that now laced them, it was the splatter of the knife, based on the amount it was a jugular wound that had killed Berry’s mother, something she could only hoped was on purpose. So that she would not have to teach Berry about that as well, what fragile of a vein it was.

“Are you okay Colgate? I… I didn’t mean to anger you by doing this” Berry asked with a frown.

“No no, you did fine my dear. I’m just annoyed with her is all, it is not you” She said motioning for Berry to join her at the table. “Come, I want you to explain what happened whal I clean up the mess I’m sure you’ve left for me”

Berry looked down at her hooves as she sat at the table. “Sorry…”

“I expect it, at least for the first little while. I am not so much concerned with the mess, but the quality of the work. So whal I clean, please take your time explaining to our dear viewers what has happened” She said as she once more drifted out of the room in the blur of colors.

“Okay uhm…” Berry said looking back at the basement door as if waiting for more orders from Colgate before she spoke, but none came. “I.. I got angry at my mother…” She said fiddling with her hooves as if she was nervous. “I cut open her hoof and she ran. But the blood loss nearly knocked her out a few minutes later and I was able to properly catch her.” She stopped for a moment like she was feeling strange about saying it that way.

“I brought her here, she’s been tied up for about a day until Colgate got here about an hour ago. They released her from jail once I ordered that no charges be held against her… Thankfully” She said. “I thought maybe my moms words would hold over mine but, thankfully they did not.”

As she looked back up at the camera she paused for a moment trying to think of how to word it. “Do you think Colgate is angry at what I did? Or do you think she likes it? Surely if she is down there cleaning right now she can’t be too against it. She would have never let me be alone with her if it was like that. Would she?” Berry frowned looking around the room. “I hope she likes it… I’ve never had any.. Power, in my life. At least, not over another pony. That was a good experience for me.. To be able to control my mother instead of the other way around.”

With a sigh she stopped and turned back to the door again. “I’m not even sure if I should be saying all this I mean, what if somepony finds these?” She asks turning back to the camera as if it would offer an answer to her paranoia. “I should stop this here, is that okay?” She asked again, with no answer reaching back. “Okay… I’m gana go help her now…” She said with a bit of a smile, her hoof reaching over and carefully picking up the camera. Fumbling around with it for a few moments she finally found the off switch with a satisfied. “Ah-ha!” And the screen flickered off immediately.
