Chapter 1-
The Normal Colt
(Authors note- I’ve never written a story based on ponies before… But I guess I could try!)
(LATE NOTE- This was one of my first stories and I didn't edit or revise it so I think it sucks. I'm not going to edit or revise because for now I'm not even thinking of continuing this. PLUS it was my first gore fic which is kind of why I don't want to upload this on this website... But I guessed if I want to become a better writer I would need advice from the readers and what they think of my ideas. So here you are, my first story and gore fic... I don't know why I even wrote this...)
I’m just a normal colt who grew up in a normal family in a normal life in a normal way. Nothing exciting has ever happened in my life, nor was there any drama in my life either. Many say that ‘being normal is the right thing’. Well I’m being normal and here I am sitting all by myself eating a flower sandwich alone. I chewed on the two bits of bread with a small pile of flowers. I’ve never questioned mother’s way of cooking and the way that she keeps her house clean. Life was what you may say… Boring… A normal routine every single day which include getting up, wash, eat, go to school, come back home, tend to the library, study, eat then sleep. Everyday it’s the same thing over and over again. I let out another sigh as I took a quick sip of my hay shake and just slumped over the table.
“Why can’t I have any friends?” I say to myself.
I even remember asking my mother that question but all she said was to “Be normal”. But what is normal… Is there ever something as normal? Well-being normal is boring! I started to get up from my chair but I hesitated. Within a split second my mind wandered off to mothers words.
“Be normal or you’ll be nothing but trash in our family.”
Not knowing what to do, I just kind of stood in the middle of the crowded lunch room filled with young talking ponies. Feeling embarrassed I slumped over the table again and started to think. Was life this boring?
“Well if it isn’t the lone colt?”
My ears perked up from the tone of the voice and so I just casually turned around eyeing the young pony before me.
“What do you want Diamond Tiara.” I said in a normal tone.
“Oh I’m just here to see what you’re doing. Talking to your imaginary friends I see.” Diamonds Tiara said snickering with Silver Spoon beside her.
“As you can see I have nobody here to company me. So if you’d excuse me I’d like to finish my lunch by myself-“
“Oh you mean this trash?”
With a rough motion the pink coated pony reached for my tray in front me of. But before I could react the pony swung the tray at the side of my head soaking my mane with the cold hay shake and bits of flowers, making me cripple to the floor.
“Well enjoy the rest of your lunch lone colt! I’ll see you during class!”
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon trotted away from me and started for the playground just outside of the school.
Just as I was about to get up I fell back on the floor feeling a sudden spike of pain on the side of my head. I went to rub on the pain as gently as possible and I felt something rather warm… It couldn’t have been the hay shake because it was way too cold. Removing my hoof from the side of my head and relocating it to be in front of my eyes I shivered a little bit in shock. My hoof was drenched in a red liquid that stuck to my coat and smelled a little bit like iron they used for the plows. I watched as more of the red liquid started to slowly dribble down my hooves and started to soak my coat more and more eating away at my tanned coat. Curious I started to tap the side of my head more and more. But as I advanced the pain grew larger and larger. But I kept poking at the side of my head until I had started to punch it instead. I gave myself about a dozen good hits before I stopped myself.
“This… This isn’t normal…” I said to myself as I got up.
My eyes never left my hooves as I made my way back toward the bathroom. As always nobody has seen my dramatic scene and I didn’t care for it. I wanted to learn what this new substance was inside my body and I also wanted to know what it did. What it symbolized. But I also felt as if death was upon me. Once I reached the bathroom I slammed my head on the mirror in front of me creating a large sound of shattering glass. It was unintentional because I just felt really dizzy. Crippling back down on the floor while holding the side of my head I felt really tired all of a sudden. Just really tired…
***
I woke up in a daze feeling pain on the side of my head but also on the back of my body as well. I was greeted by a blaze of white light which I knew was artificial.
“Will William be okay?” I heard my mother say her worried voice echoed in my head.
“Yes your son will be alright, but we are afraid that he’ll have to stay in bed for a few days. His skull was fractured by a small amount. So he should get some bed rest.”
I closed my eyes for a few seconds but when I opened them again I was in bed. I was in my normal bed in my normal house surrounded by my normal family. I started to question my mother but knew better so I just turned away from my parents and grabbed the sheets around me trying to grab the warmth around it. But I could only remember a little of what was going on later that night. I was only half asleep but I heard fighting downstairs in the living room. The voices of my parents going back and forth and all I remember were a few lines of conversation that I picked up.
“He could have gotten himself killed! We have the help him he’s our son!” I heard my mother say.
“You don’t understand now do you? He’s a young man and maybe he was just going through a small phase of grow! Curiosity-“ But my father was cut off
“What’s so curious of hitting themselves in the head until they bleed!? We have the face the facts! He’s gone mental! I care for him enough to send him back to the hospital for examination. It’s for his own good-“
But after that I just heard the sound of something shattering and a shriek from my mother. I also heard hooves pounding something and the scream of my mother being beaten. But I didn’t care because all my body told me to do was to sleep. But there was one thing on my mind though… Was my family actually normal?
***
Once again I find myself in the same position as always. Last night was actually something different… I thought back to the night before over the conversation and the actions of my father. I went down stairs for breakfast this morning and found my mother smiling but had a few scratches and bruises here and there but so was my father. I knew better then to question them both so I just ate my portion of dry hay and walked to school (forced by my mother of course).
“Did you see what happened to that kid?”
“Yeah what was he thinking hitting himself?”
“Has he gone crazy?”
I looked behind me and I noticed the three girls that I knew just so well. Of course everyone knew them! Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle and their known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Of course some racist people called them the Kutie marK Krusaders but they were beaten to death by Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack and nobody ever made fun of the three young ponies again. But they were lucky to have each other. Unlike them I had nobody to be with… And now their making fun of my actions too and how stupid must I’ve been to actually hit myself in the head! Of course it was blood!
“I feel real sorry for that young colt. He doesn’t seem to have any friends.” Applebloom said behind me.
“Well he sure is a tough colt if you ask me! He took a swing in the head with that wooden tray from Diamond Tiara and even punched himself in the side of the head a dozen times!” I heard Scootaloo reply.
“I feel more sorry that we weren’t there to stop Diamond in the first place…” Sweetie Belle replied.
I stopped in the middle of the road and turned around to face the three young fillies that were talking about me and started to approach them. Luckily for me they didn’t notice me yet but as I drew nearer Scootaloo elbowed Applebloom and they all just gasped as they saw me.
I was about to say something. But the words were stuck in my throat and what was I going to say anyway…
“Of course they must think I’m a freak. I almost hit myself to death yesterday…” I said to myself
I was about to turn around and head toward the other direction but was interrupted by a soft voice.
“Um… Excuse me…”
I stopped in my tracks with my backs still on them scared on what to do next. What to do and what was normal!? My mind was telling me to go back and reply toward the soft voice but my body wanted to run away from these three young fillies. So at the very least I followed my body’s orders… Just run away from these three and they will probably leave you alone.
I dashed off toward the school and didn’t stop until I came to my seat. I was scowled by my teacher Mrs. Cheerlie but I didn’t care. All I wanted to do was to be away from those three crusaders and so I just slumped down on my desk and started to take notes.

“Alright everyone it’s time for lunch! Meet back in class within an hour but most importantly enjoy yourselves!”
The bell rang and everpony made their way toward the cafeteria. And of course many ponies would be excited about lunch time. Except for me that is and of course I hate lunch time… What would those people who saw me think of me?
“Hey tough guy!”
I jumped in mid-air as I dashed toward the bathroom and slammed the bathroom behind me.
“What’s up with those three…” I said as I opened my bagged lunch.
“Well… At least I could eat lunch alone…”
I was about to take a bite out of my flower sandwich until I saw a shadow cover the top of the stall…
“Hey tough guy!”
I let out a small yelp at the figure above me and unfortunately for me my lunch fell down in the toilet… Oh man…
“Who are you!?” I said questioning the stranger above me.
“It’s us! The Cuite Mark Crusaders! Here’s Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and I’m Apple Bloom! So what’s up ya little filly?”
I opened my eyes and eyed the three ponies in front of me. I finally let out a sigh of defeat and opened the stall door.
“Okay if you guys are going to beat me up and humiliate me just do it already…” I said letting my guard down and hanging my head.
“Whatcha talken about? We’re just here to talk to you that’s all!” Apple Bloom eyed me giving me a sheepish grin.
“Yeah what you did yesterday was so cool! You punched yourself a dozen times and even withstood a fatal blow to the head by that gotten brat Diamond!” Scootaloo said giving me her devilish smile.
“Yeah nobody could have withstood that kind of blow!” Sweetie Belle said giving me compliment.
I didn’t know what to do in this kind of position. Do I run or do I stay and talk with them for a little bit? How can I talk to these ponies?
“Why are ya thinken so hard there?” Apple Bloom said.
“Was I that obvious?” I said to myself.
“And why do you talk to yourself a lot mister?”
I blushed feeling ashamed that my socializing skills were so bad. Did I really have to think about what I needed to say?
“Um I…” I started but was cut off.
“Well how would you like to join us for lunch? We could talk you know. You seem like an interesting guy!”
‘Interesting guy my rear I bet these guys are going to try and humiliate me just like every other person here’ I said to my head this time.
“Well what are you waiting for? Are you coming with us?” Sweetie Belle said as she gestured toward the door for me.
I just gave her a simple nod and walked awkwardly toward the exit of the bathroom. I wanted to tell them right there and then that they made me drop my lunch in the toilet and that I had nothing else to eat but was afraid I was going to be rejected.
“So what’s your name?” Apple Bloom said as she bumped a hoof on my shoulder.
“William…” I said in a small whisper. Of course it was nothing crazy and special like Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and even Diamond Tiara. Mine was just normal.
“I couldn’t hear you come again?”
“William…” I said a little louder.
“Come again I couldn’t hear you right! What’s your name again?”
At this point felt a little abandoned. Not knowing what to do now since I tried twice I felt my ears wilt and I looked down at the floor instead.
“Apple Bloom don’t pressure this guy!” Scootaloo said.
“Oh sorry! But I just want to know his name! I mean he’s just like us! He doesn’t have a Cutie Mark either!”
It was true. I never had a cutie mark before and my mother said that it was normal for some ponies. And it was all because of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. If it weren’t for them I would be out of the house by now living in the streets of Pony Ville.
“Hmm… But we still need to know your name…”
I glanced at Apple Bloom as she was thinking very hard to find out a name for me.
“Hmm… How about Sun Bake?” Apple Bloom proposed.
Before I could feel offended Scootaloo jumped in and proposed another idea for a name.
“That’s a terrible name! How about Solar Flare-“
“That’s bad too! What about… Solar Beam?” Apple Bloom proposed again.
“Hey! That’s from Ponymon! What about-“
“What about Sun Shine? You know because he’s a Pegasus and he has a tanned coat and a blonde mane?” Sweetie Belle proposed.
The whole group was silent as they observed their friend with me in between the awkward silence.
“Sweetie Belle… That’s a good idea! How do you like it mister?”
I nodded at them giving them approval of the new name but I knew to not to get to close.
‘Don’t get your hopes up they’ll probably just blow you off at the last minute… There are no such things as real friends for you William… But Sun Shine dose seem kind of nice… Sun Shine… I wonder if my life would ever shine…’ I thought to myself.
We made our way toward the cafeteria but just as they were about to open the door for me I hesitated.
“What’s wrong Sun Shine? Are ya scared?” Apple Bloom said giving me a sign of concern.
I wanted to say ‘yes’ but instead I just gave them a weak nod.
“Don’t worry Sun Shine. We got you covered! That’s what friends are for right?” Sweetie Belle said giving me her best smile (I guessed).
Instead of saying anything I just gave her a sad stare and this seemed to give some sort of determination to the whole group.
“We got your back Sun Shine… Don’t worry! That’s what friends are for.”
I wanted to reject the request but I was forced by the three fillies into the burst of the entire cafeteria filled with young fillies like me. The entire room filled with dozens of fillies stopped their conversations and what they were doing and I felt hundreds of eyes staring at me. There was even a small cough in the room as I was dragged in by the three fillies.
“Wait guys please don’t do this to me I just want to be alone-“
“Well if it isn’t the lonely colt?”
Suddenly Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stood up from one of the few tables that were reserved for just them.
“How are you feeling after I hit you in the face huh you little baby?” Diamond said as she bumped the side of my head.
“I’m surprised that you actually came here to show off your face once again you lonely monster-“
“He’s not the monster! You’re the monster Diamond Tiara!” Apple Bloom said as she bounced from behind me and was now shoving her face in front of the pink coated pony.
“Oh? And why’s that Apple Bloom? Give me one reason why I’m a monster! Unlike you I have real people and real power! You should actually be trembling in front of me like a small dog you are! Go on. Kneel before me you little blank flank-“
Before I could see anything I was suddenly in front of Diamond and finding myself to push Apple Bloom down on the floor. And suddenly there was a burst of red liquid but this time it wasn’t from me. But it was from the victim in front of me. The next thing I knew I saw Diamond crumbling on the floor grasping her left cheek where I smacked her so hard that there were small traces of trickling blood covering her pink coat.
“Oh no…” I said to myself. And that’s when all of Equestria broke loose.
