Back From Hell

Raspberry opened the door of the mail postal service, eyes open wide and ears back. He whimpered as he felt the burns against his wings. His “new” outfit was burned as well and he knew he had to do something to fix it as fast as he could. He glanced quickly down as he heard the chuckles and gasps from the others but he just kept trotting towards the training room.

All he could remember was the fire, the fire that could melt the wings off a breezy in seconds. There were magma geysers that were unpredictable to the point that he had to move the bags as fast as he could to not hurt the letters for the people in the next town. His ears went back more as he wobbled a bit when he saw his trainer tap his hoof.

“What the everliving fuck did you do that took so long?”

"I'm sorry that it took me so much time but-"

"But the road to Nowheres wasn't a road of cherries and cupcakes? There will be no excuses and no more sowwies...." the trainer’s face had a mocking look of patheticness that Raspberry wanted to smack if this wasn't his first job and if his wing wasn't screaming in pain.

"Right... I'll be faster next time..." He turned and left the room, not knowing that right outside was a mare that was dangerously close to the door.

"Ah!" She fell back and landed on her backside and she held her ears back and looked at him, scared but curious. "I heard you had that scary creeper but I didn't think he was that harsh..."

"Umm who are you?" He tilted his head to the side a bit and kept his eyes on the mare. She was a little too skinny around the waist but held her head high even after she was caught eavesdropping on a conversation. Her pastel brown coat had a little dapple of chocolate colored spots on her and her green eyes shone like jade. Her wings crossed nicely around her back but her mane looked wind-messed and the only thing really taming it was a pair of leather goggles. She looked too energetic to be just out of work but he guessed that she had a much easier day than him. The worn out suit that matched his made him realize that she was a new recruit just like him.

"Ah! The names Rain… I am a trainee just like... " she brightened more as she spoke. Raspberry sighed and looked around the room for the other mare, the one he was actually wanting to talk with... so much so in fact, that he got lost in thought and missed the last sentence.

"Huh?" His ears shot up in attention and looked back at the mare.

"I was thanking you for this morning. If you didn't stop that stallion, I might have been fired on my first day here. I heard he likes to make the rounds on the new recruits and if he tried anything with me he would have been in the hospital." she watched as the one she was talking to started gazing around. "But it must've been hard working with that guy after this morning..."

"Uh huh...." he looked around and started walking towards the door as she giggled and trotted to the time sheets to clock out.
