Six Friends, One Destiny

A Prison (Midnight's POV)

My eyes came into focus as I slowly lifted my eyelids. My whole body felt so sore and achy. I adjusted myself and stood up slowly off the stone ground, worn and cracked from age. I yawned and saw bars made of pure iron blocking my front path.

I wrapped my hooves around two spaces in the bars and looked outside at the other cells.

I spotted Starlight Shine and was relieved when The Trolling Mare's voice was heard loudly as she was bouncing off the walls in such a small space. I still needed to know if Minty, Shimmer, and Cookie were alright. "Starlight...do you see Shimm-?" a harsh mare voice interupted me as she rapped the bars with a dagger.

"Don't get any ideas! Eternal Darkness will see you shortly in a meeting for what we shall do with you." she snarled, her blue eyes burning into mine, behind her armor. I growled back at her, revealing a threatning gaze of yellow eyes and fangs.

She gave me a slight confused look and continued down the rows.

"Stop whining!" I heard her scream a few moments later.

"I can't! I gotta go pee!" TM's voice echoed through the cells.

"Go in that bowl!" she shouted.

"What?! I can't go in there....Ponies can see me pee...." I heard TM whisper awkwardly.

"I don't care, foal, do it if you have to so bad!"

"You're no fun."

"I don't care what you useless ponies think of me..." she snarled.

"We're not useless!" I insisted.

"I didn't hear anything....how strange how empty it sounds..." she mimicked, trotting away.

My anger boiled through the roof.

"Hey, you! Shut the buck up you worthless piece of shit! You can't talk to my friends like that! Unless you wanna try going through me!" I yelled, steam abrupting from my nostrils.

The mare flipped around, and stormed towards my cell. She jabbed my stomach, very deeply.

Blood trickled from the dagger, and she smeared some on my face. My friends saw it all, and with faces of horror.

Tears slowly came forming in my eyes, dripping on the ground with dabs of blood. The pain blazed my vision.
