Thought Fire and Flames

She found a big clearing with some trees and thought it was a nice place to build her house. It was pretty far from the town but that didn't bother her. Everyday for about two years Flames would go back to the clearing and build part of her house, it took so long to build it because she was doing it all by herself and because she had to carry all the stuff to the clearing and she had to make the house look perfect. When Flames showed Trinity her house she almost cried. "What's wrong Aunt Trinity?" (that's what Flames called her)

Trinity wiped the falling tears from her face and said. "It's nothing just that I don't want you to move out your like my daughter and your too young to live alone." The tears were now flowing down Trinity's face which made Flames frown, she didn't want her dear caretaker to cry. It made her sad to see her like this. "Auntie I'm not gonna move out just yet, I still have to purchase furnishing and stuff and that's gonna take some time to accomplish." Flame hugged her and tried her best to comfort her crying aunt. Flames and Trinity both went home together and and got some rest to calm down.

Flames got a job at a restaurant as a waitress. She got paid minimum wage which was alright except that her boss always complained that she didn't give enough effort to smile but it never phased her. There was no reason to smile so why do it, her life was a complete disaster. Her parents were dead, she still didn't have her cutie mark and barely anypony knew she existed. Flames thought about her older brother one day while she was washing the dishes at work. It made her smile a bit then her boss walked in.

"Finally you smile for once I knew you could do it." He grinned but out of the force of habit Flames quickly frowned. "Hello Mr. Forthtrot." Flames looked back at the sink and continued to clean the dishes. "That smile was very adorable you should do it more often." He still wore that cheesy grin but she ignored him and just washed the same plate over again. "There's a table that needs to be served go on and do it Flames." She looked at him. "But I have to finish the dishes. "Mr. Forthtrot simply just walked over to her and gently pushed he out the kitchen door and handed her the tray. "Don't worry I'll finish them for you" then the doors swung closed. Flames sighed and went to deliver the tray. The table she had to serve had ponies about her age and they were all colts and very noisy ones at that. Flames served them without saying anything then started walking back to the kitchen until one of the colts called her back for something. They started snickering once Flames came back to the table and she just said, "What?" The colts all exchanged looks from each other until one of the colts, the noisiest of the bunch asked. "Are you single at the moment?" He looked her up and down slowly while snickering which made Flames a bit mad then she answered. "Of course I am why wouldn't I?" Then she stormed off back into the kitchen. After a few days of working the colts were back again and waiting. Flames knew that she was gonna have to serve them but then one of the other waitresses went to their table to serve them and that filled Flames with relief. It didn't take long for the waitress to come back and that confused Flames cause she was sure that they would take them forever to order. "Those colts are asking for you Flames" the waitress pointed out the door where the colts were sitting. Flames sighed and obeyed the waitresses order. "Hey good looking haven't seen you in while." The leader of the colts was flirting with her again which was pretty annoying to her. "I never got your name, mines Whip Lash." Then he winked at her but Flames just rolled her eyes. "Its Flames." They all smiled and Whip Lash said. "That makes sense to me cause your smoking hot." He winked again which was irritating. Flames sighed and started to walk away like she always did then Whip Lash said. "I'm gonna be her second cutie mark watch." Flames stopped and turned around. "Excuse me?" "I'm gonna take that sweet virginity of yours." He was now looking Flames up and down again but stopped and stared at her hind legs. Flames mouth was open wide. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She walked back to the table and and looked at Whip Lash. He smiled lustfully at her. "Wanna sit on my lap don't mind if its a bit pokey though." He still smiled but Flames was really mad and didn't respond to the question. They were all snickering again and Flames turned around to leave on more but that when he made a fatal mistake. Whip Lash reached over and slapped her plot hard and was grinning. Flames blushed profusely that's when her brain told her enough and before she knew it, her hoof was directly implanted in Whip Lash's face. She heard a crack then he was on the floor with a bloody face. "Oh my god Flames what have you done?! Somepony call the paramedics quick he's bleeding out!" Everypony was now focused on Flames and the bloodied figure in front of her. Flames looked at her hoof, it was covered in blood just like Whip Lash's face. Everypony was wide eyed at the scene before them then the paramedics had arrived to take Whip Lash to the hospital for surgery. They were all outside now watching as the pony was being taken to the hospital. Flames was still looking at her hoof when Mr. Forthtrot came over to her. "Flames I'm sorry but I can't have a violent pony as a employee so your fired. He gave Flames her last check and she gave him her apron. "I'm sorry Mr. Forthtrot..." Her ears were down and she walked home hoping that she wouldn't get kicked out. When she got there she was yelled at for about thirty minutes about how much trouble she was in and that she was grounded for two months. Flames yelled back at her aunt "You're not my mother don't tell me what to do!" Then she cried herself to sleep. In the morning she packed all her stuff, wrote a letter to her aunt and left for her house in the forest alone. In her note she lied and said that she was running away back to her original home in Canterlot so she wouldn't go looking for her.
