the begining

My biological father abandonded me before I was born. When my mother first had me she was always with me, that was before she met my stepfather. When she married him she almost forgot about me. I was only one then. Now I'm five years old, well six tomorrow. My stepfather calls me to his study, even though I know that this will go as bad or even worse than all of the other times he has called me into the room. I still hope that he will tell me something nice ;that he'll tell me he's sorry for everything he has done the last five years. Before I knock on the door I look in the mirror right outside of his office. My coat is a light brown, my mane a darker brown and is in a bun with a braid running through it, my tail being the same color is just brushed out. I knock on the door and my stepfather yells at me to come in.
"So you turn six tomorrow?" He says.
"Yessir" I reply quickly to not strain his patience.
"Then its time I get rid of you, I will start looking for a private School that will shape you into something that noone in this town has ever seen before. And to bad they will never be able to see it, because you will never return here. Is this understood?"
"Y-yes father."

I go outside and head to the stallions swordplay arena. "Hey girls look its wanna-be stallion; Sica. Going to find your FILLYFRIEND, Sica!"
Snort snort goes the local popular girls. I reach the arena, and sit in my spot. There's a new stallion today. He see's me and asks who I am.
"She ain't important man, she's kinda creepy. She just sits there and watches." One of the boys says
"And you never invited her or taught her how to use a weapon? How rude are you boys?" All of them look down sheepishly.
The new stallion comes over and says " What's your name, my little pony?"
Up close he's huge compared to me. "Uhhh... my name is Sica." I barely stutter out the words.
"Ah a latin name. Your name means dagger little one. So let's see if you can handle a dagger. Use your magic and pick up the dirk then throw it at that target."
I concentrate really hard to simply pick up the dagger. I look at the target and throw the dagger. It twirls through the air gracefully. Then it thumps into the center of the target. Everyone gasps and one guy almost trips over himself. The new stallion comes up to me and says; "Look at that, I have never met a mare, let alone one so young throw a dagger so gracefully. Look at you flank little one." I looked and found two daggers crossed in front of a heart. From that moment on my life was changed so much that I would almost forget the five years before the moment that I threw that dagger.

Author's Note

I want to say Thanks to Winter who drew Sica in the first place. And my friend Mrbiohazard92 who told me to write Sica's story. And who is also helping me write another story after I finish Sica's. Also thank you Lightosphere for editing and revising my story.

The academy

The academy

I spent the rest of the day at the arena, perfecting my skills with the dagger and learning to handle a bulky sword. I learned that the new stallion was one of Princess Celestia's old guards. He was discharged because he was always talking while they were in rank. He taught me the basics but never told me his name. I went home just as the sun started to set. I knew that I would be in a lot of trouble for going out without permission and then coming home after the curfew was set.

When I got home my stepfather came in and gestured for me to go to his study. "You left without telling us and then you come home after dark. May I ask why?" He says in a scarily calm voice.
" I went to the arena. And i got my cutie mark." I turn so he can see my cutie mark. His face registers shock then anger.
" You got a cutie mark of A KNIFE!!!"he yells.
" Two, daggers actually, And a heart." I smiled enthusiastically to even the mood.

Just then the doorbell rings. My mother yells to say that she'll get the door. My stepfather pushes me deeper into the study and tells me not to move. I wait about five minutes and curl up on the floor. Five more minutes pass and I hear a crash and my fathers voice booming out across the house.
"SICA GET IN HERE!! NOW!!"
I get up and rush out to the living room, where a blood red mare with purple and blue tribal stripes and black hair waits for me. "Hello Sica, I'm Jewley Mine, I'm the principal of your new school."She says in a very calm professional voice.
My mother speaks up "An academy for troubled youth. I would say your a troubled youth, considering your always at that arena. YOU GOT YOUR CUTIE MARK!"
She looks scared at the fact that my special talent would involve anything sharp. She runs into the kitchen. Jewley Mine tells me to pack my things. I run to my room and shove a few necessities into my saddle bags. I run and tell Jewley that I'm ready to go. Though the school is for troubled youth I'm just glad to get away from my family and this town. When we reach the carriage she closes all of the curtains on it and looks at me very seriously. She looks at me for a long time and then sighs.
" This is gonna be a long story" She says.

"We have ponies everywhere watching for fillies who have a special talent that... for lack of a better word... is deadly. The stallion you met today was a scout. You will be the second mare EVER to be let into this academy. This is not a normal school. Simply known as the academy to us, we are a school of assasins. You are also the youngest student to be accepted, it will be expected that you will be teased by your peers. We have a seer who tells us who traitors to Equestria are. We kill those traitors. We will train you in these arts untill you are ready to be a full assasin and when you are you will be sent out on a few missions." I sat listening to this story with awe.
"So I'm going to be an assassin?" Plain, sweet, and simple.
She looks at me and sighs again. "I went through a whole speach and you say it in seven words. Your going to be very good in this field."

When we finaly got to the academy Jewley hands me a key and tells me what room is mine.
since I'm a mare I get my own room. I would start training tomorrow morning.

In the future I would prefer more feedback about changes that could be made, not accusations about being a horrible writer.

The first mission and Dusk

I have been at the academy for 8 years. Today is my 15th birthday, and my first mission. I look at the picture of the stallion I am to kill. I recognize the pony in the picture as Night Crest, the first pony i ever beat. A smile crosses my face. Funny the stallion that I beat to prove myself was going to be the first one I kill. Lovely.

The bar at which i know Night Crest has been hiding since his assasination attempt against Princesses Celestia and Luna, is in Manehatten. How he has hidden here with his face plastered everywhere I have no clue, but he will be dead within the hour that i arrive at the bar.
I ask the barkeep where Night Crest's room is in and walk up the stairs. I pause outside the room nervous and excited about my first kill. Is that even possible? I walk into the room and get a surprised gasp in response. I smile. All of the stallions at the academy said that my smile would make anypony that i was about to kill very, very scared.
"You know trying to kill a Princess is not a very wise idea." I say, smiling the whole time.
"How did you know that was me?" he says, his fear escaping in his voice. Good.
The whole time he was backing up slowly right into my dagger that was waiting behind him. The dagger goes through his skull and into his brain. His body falls to the ground with a THUMP! Just then the door opens and a black pegasis with a long red mane walks in.
"Hey, is that guy dead? Or just unconscious?" I look at him with caution.
"Dead" I answer. Short and sweet.
"Did you kill him?" He says while looking half out of reality and partially stoned.
"Yes i did kill him" I answer with caution. I don't know why but I trust this stallion. I was taught to go along with your gut instinct, and my instinct was to trust this pony. I look at his flank to see if his talent has anything to do with me trusting him. My eyes widen in shock as i see that he has no cutie mark.
"Okay" as he starts trotting towards a table and takes something from it.
" If you'll excuse me I came in here for the chronic." Ok, my curiosity gets the best of me and I follow him out of the door, intent on knowing who in the stars he is and why he didn't freak out that I killed someone. I also want to know why he doesn't have a cutie mark.
" Whats your name?"
"The names Dusk. Obviously, you don't listen to electronic music." he says with obvious annoyance.
"No, I prefer Octavia Philharmonica." I say with pride.
"Good choice."
"My name is Sica, in case you were wondering, though I have a feeling you aren't." I say rather rudely.
"Oh, shut up!" Dusk growls "You're dealing with somepony that's been antisocial all his life. It's not my fault I don't communicate well with others." I step back one and pull out my dagger prepared to protect myself.
"Easy now your not the only one."
"I suggest you don't try anything with that dagger" He says, getting ready to take to the skies.
I put the dagger away. "Please don't go."
"Alright, I'll stay." He says, folding his wings and standing normally.
"Sorry, I was holed up in a school of boys for most of my life. I kinda taught myself to protect myself. It was a reaction, honest." I say.
"I guess I can't blame you for that. I used to be impulsive." Dusk replied, a smile appearing on his face.
"So where are you from?" I say trying to find a place to sit."Somewhere outside of Equestria. I can't remember the name of the town." Dusk said, hopping into a cornerbooth.
"I don't even think my town had a name, it was so small." I say glad to be talking to someone who wasn't scared that i would kill them with one slice. At the academy I was the most dangerous . Dusk chuckled, which soon turned into a laugh
"What?" I say my horn starting to glow. I don't like being laughed at. It happened to much before the academy. I was used to being feared. Dusk continued to laugh like he was being tickled playfully. I throw my dragonclaw dagger out of anger. It sticks in the table right by his hoof.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop." he says calming down. He glances at the alcohol on the shelves.
"What do you want? I could use a drink too. Oh, yeah! How old are you?" I say as I start to scan the shelves to see what I want. Something strong.
"I'm 16 but they let me drink here anyways. Oh and I want Everfree Vodka."
"That sounds good. I'm 15, most joints don't let me drink, but my collection of daggers is very convincing" I say as i wave a waiter over and pull my dagger out of the table. The waiter comes over and looks at Dusk.
"Hey" he says
"Hey. I'll take a bottle of Everfree." Dusk says
"So did you go to school or...?" I ask.
I turn and see a DJ station. "Well they have the equipment for a DJ but no DJ." Shame I could use some music to help me relax. But I have to leave here. SOON.
"I'm the DJ." Dusk exclaims. Well then.
"Well I have to go before somepony discovers the body upstairs, wanna come back to my hotel, i need the company. That and i don't know my way back"
"I have my own apartment but I can help you find yours."

Dusk is an OC of a close friend of mine.

The first meeting with Princess Luna

I wake up the next morning and stretch. I look in the mirror and see a piece of paper taped to it. i take it off and read:
Dearest Sica,
As you are now a student here, we encourage you to be perfectly groomed. Esspecially today. Princess Luna, the founder of our school is coming today. Classes start at 9:00 am.

yours,

Jewely

I rush to get ready. The princess of night, was coming to my school the day I came. I was so exited. I throw my mane up in my usual bun and braid. I walk into the mess hall and sit in an empty seat in the front, right by the head table. Then there's the sound of trumpets anouncing the arrival of Princess Luna. We all stand and bow as she walks up to the head table. She stops when she reaches me and looks down.
" A mare? Jewely last i knew you were the only mare to attend this school."
"Yes your majesty i was. But our scout said that Sica here is amazing with daggers and dirks. In fact she earned her cutie mark in front of him." Jewely says with a small smile on her face, more of pride than enthusiasm. the Princess walks up to Jewely and speaks to her in a low whisper.
Then Jewely stands and says, "Everypony needs to go to the arena, except for Sica a-and... Lets see,..."
just then the princess interups her. " I think she should fight one of my own guards."
My eyes widen at that statment. I'M going to have to fight one of the royal guards!!! I walk up to Jewely and she brings me to the armory.
" I've had you custom armor made. The chest plate has your cutie mark, on it. and there are multiple hidden sheaths for your daggers. It's also very very lightweight. It will be like your not wearing it."
We walk into the armory and right in the middle is a blood red suit of armor with a helmet that would cover my face and make it look as if i were a stallion. I look at it and then at the wall behind the suit of armor. It's covered in beautiful swords, axes, and especially daggers. My eyes are drawn to a specific knife. it has a hilt about 5 inches long with a silver dragons claw with a marble in it. I look at Jewely than at the dagger. "Usually we won't give a student a weapon from the armory until they graduate. But you are a special pony. You may have that one if you want."

Proving myself

I get into my suit of armor, and get armed to the teeth. Or so normal ponies would say. i thought that i wasn't armed enough. I, who had never been in one class at this school, was going up against a trained guard of Princess Luna.
" You will be going up against my newest guard, Night Crest" i have told him not to go too easy on you." Princess Luna says behind me. I turn around and bow.
"Of course your majesty, i will do anything to prove that i belong at this school." I say with confidence. I turn around and prepare myself for this battle.

I walk to the arena, and stand in the northern entrance. Just then i hear Jewely say to the crowd.
"Our new student Sica will be fighting the guard of Princess Luna, Private Night Crest." At that cue i walk out into the arena and brace myself for what was to happen. Just then Night Crest walks out onto the field. He smiles at me and says:
"A small foal, you want me to..oomph" I ran into him and start wrestling him. i know that whoever gets pinned with a weapon to their throat looses. He grabs me and starts to push me to the ground. I use my light weight and speed to get out of his grasp and jump him from behind. He bucks me off his back and i land in font of him. I think hard and notice that he's not wearing a helmet, but i am. i headbutt him and he falls backwards. i jump on top of his belly and put my dragonclaw dagger to his throat. Just then a trumpet sounds and the match is over.

I take off the helmet. during the fight my bun had come loose, and Night Crest looks furious.
"I was beat by a filly!" He walks up to me and nods
"Good job though little one." He walks away and Princess Luna comes up to me.
" you really do belong here."
I guess I really did prove myself. I go to my first class without taking the armor off with my helmet trailing behind me.
