The Disk Jockey and the Cellist

Vinyl's eyes widened and she inched back, and somehow seemed to manage to shrink herself, "But...how!? You...you beat me!" she reared up, eyes narrowing, and stepping forward to what she thought had been her friend for years. "You lied to me!"

Octavia cringed upon being brought back up as 'the pony that hurt others' and Vinyl realizing the truth. "I know...what I did was wrong, but..."

Vinyl's eyes were blazing with rage as the atmosphere grew thick, "You lied! You hurt ponies for your own amusment! And now you expected me to become your friend!" she slammed her hooves on the ground as her horn started to glow blue, and her eyes started to glow an eerie white.

Octavia looked up at her friend, eyes wide in fear.

"You lied, and took on a form so you could be my friend! You nearly killed me, and then you're expecting me to still be your friend!?"the blue started to engulf the lighting as a large beam of magic was fired from Vinyl's horn, knocking away Octavia to the ground.

Vinyl wobbled as her eyes returned to normal, and she fell to the ground.

Regaining herself, Octavia opened her eyes and ponies surrounded her, asking what happened.

Octavia rubbed her head and looked over to Vinyl, who still lay unconsious. She placed her hoof on her friend.

Vinyl slowly opened her eyes, and leapt back, then narrowed her eyes.

Octavia flinched, and looked at the disk jockey, she lowered her head. Her friend hated her now.

She then thought about the times about the other things that happened to Vinyl. She closed her eyes and thought about the past.

She also hurt Vinyl on the first day. Vinyl was standing there, admiring her school, when Octavia nudged the unicorn. She took a liking to it and grabbed the violin off the filly's back.

The yellowish-white pony turned to Octavia, and tryed to grab her violin back. Octavia kept it out of her reach, and taunted. "Oh look, young filly is a unicorn and can't grab her violin from a Earth Pony...how pathetic..."

Vinyl's eyes got big, "Give me back my violin!"

Many colts laughed, and started to surround Vinyl, saying how pathetic she was, how she couldn't control her magic, how small she was, and how weak she was.

Vinyl cried, and curled up in a ball in hopes to get away from the hate. Octavia dropped Vinyl's  violin and crushed it under her hoof.

Vinyl yelled, "No!"she ran over and started to collect the pieces as tears touched it's sleek oak wood. "...this was my father's..."

They all laughed, "You father's? Ha! What kind of stallion owns a pretty, princess violin?"they pointed at Vinyl and laughed, teasing her and her father.

Of course, no one knew at that time that her father died when he was performing in a beautiful quartz castle--Canterlot. He and his team mates where performing when a soft spot in the roof had gaven away, crushing her father under a tons-worth of quartz.

His body was lifeless by the time they found him, but they found his violin he was playing, and gave it to Vinyl. The young unicorn believed that her having his violin would keep his soul at peace. And now it was gone.

A unicorn colt threw fire onto the violin shreds, and it burst into flames. The young filly stumbled back, eyes wide in horror, crying as the remains of what she had of her father was now burning in an inferno.

Octavia laughed, she thought this was funny, and she watched it blaze, the flames climbing high into the air.

Octavia shook her head, there was the other time she hurt Vinyl.

Vinyl's eyes were wide in fear. She knew both of those moments well. And she felts vivid pictures go across her brain.

Her brother was walking her to school, when a gang of highschoolers, just about older than her brother started to gang up on them. They threatened to take Vinyl's money, but her brother, 33⅓-LP, or LP as Vinyl called him, didn't want to give them her money.

They shoved past him and said if they didn't give them her money, they will kill LP. Vinyl wanted to save her brother, but he protested that she shouldn't give them her money. She was torn between giving her money and saving her brother, or keeping what was rightfully hers, but her brother dies.

Vinyl gave them her money, but they still killed her brother. His greenish-white coat became stained with a crimson. His moderate tangello hair trailed behind him as she hit the ground, blood streaming out of a knife-wound located beneath his neck.

The high schoolers kicked Vinyl away from her brother, and sent her onto the street, where they had qued a taxi to hit her.

Vinyl was hurt both physically and mentally. Though her willpower is what kept her through the pain. She climbed up the curb, despite her hind hooves limp and useless, and pulled herself to her brother, where she rested her head on his lifeless body.

"Brother...wake up...please..."

The high schoolers bit their lip, and looked back at the pony who had planned this. Octavia. And their eyes pleaded guilty, but the Earth Ponie's amused gaze stayed firm.

Vinyl felt something grasp her, and she turned around to see the high schoolers dragging her away from her brother. Her eyes widened. "No!"

She wriggled and squirmed, but their grip was tight.

She was useless, and allowed her badly wounded body to go limp as they carried her further away from her brother.

When Octavia was out of sight, the high schoolers placed Vinyl on the ground, and apoligized, saying that Octavia would give them enough money to help their family if they did this. Vinyl forgave them, saying apoligizing was good.

At that time, Octavia's name was "Octavia", it was simply Via.

Later, ambulance came to the crime scene, but didn't understand how it was possible for a small filly to kill a high schooler, and "Via" left Not Guilty.

Vinyl stayed at her brother's side her whole life. He was dead now. She longed for her father, but he was dead, and her mother was divorced, and lived far away.

Vinyl later was placed in a orphanage. And was adopted by many people, but they died. Vinyl always had a wave of sorrows behind the next milestone.

Everypony believed she was cursed, and no one adopted her. She went to school, where she was abused, and she never had friends.

Untill Neon Lights came.
