Scoots tales 1: A colts tragedy

The father smiled to his little colt leaning down kissing the top of his head before ruffling up his mane leaving the room.

"I'll be right back Scoots"

The father went down the stairs slowly but keeps fast enough as to not bore the visitor. He wounder who was visiting but he was used to it. He thought it might be another pony offering him a job so he opened the door without hesitation. He spoke happily to the stallion who stood before him

"why hello there. how can I hel.."

He was cut short from the sentence. His body went cold as his fur went on end. His eyes flooded with tears as he gasps blood shooting out of his mouth. He looked down to his chest where a knife was placed. A dark red liquid enshrouded the blade dripping from it. He looked up into the stallions eyes only letting out the words

"w...why?"

He made his way over to the stairs best he could yelling just once before his candle burnt out

"Run!!"

She smiled as he left she giggled looking down at little Scoots

"what would you like to..?"

She hears the yelling from down stairs

"Run!!"

Her eyes shot open as she quickly ran out of the room to see the father fall to the stairs. She froze for a moment as she gasped

"n..no"

she would have dropped to the floor at that moment if she hadn't seen Scoots out the corner of her eyes. She ran over quickly picking him up. She ran him to their room tears dropping from her cheeks as she couldn't believe the sight she had just beheld.

Scoots was chuckling when his dad kissed his head he smiled then tilted his head as his dad left the room. He went to fallow but his mom stopped him.

Right there then she froze and ran out of the room. Scoots was lost at what was going on so he started to fallow his mom moments after she ran out of the room. As soon as Scoots left the room his mother ran over crying and picked him up.

The tears he had seen made him realize how serious this situation really was so he started to shake wildly holding onto his mommy's mane tight.

When they arrived inside of the room Scoots looked at his mommy as she set him down inside of a large laundry basket full of clothes and slid it into the closet. She stood at the door of the closet it to small to fit her. Tears fell from her eyes as she only spoke a few words

"We love you Scoots. Please never for get that"

She looked to the floor crying not wanting to go on her body not responding as she was so scared. Suddenly she felt a tiny hoof on her nose

"m...mommy"

her eyes shot open as they fell upon Scoots as he said it again

"mommy"

little scoots smiled and chuckled clapping his hooves thinking its just a game so he wasn't as scared. She smiled to him taking a step back slowly starting to close the door but before she does Scoots stood up placing his front hooves onto his mommy's face

"mommy coming back right?"

She bit her lower lip as she set him back in the basket throwing the clothes over him fighting the words out of her mouth

"m..mommy and daddy will always be with you Scoots"

this made the little colt smile. the last sight the mother ever saw was her colts smile for as she turned around the stallion walked threw the door placing the knife inside of her chest letting the life flow from her as the floor was painted red from the liquid.

Scoots was all alone in the closet trying to keep occupied smiling having no clue what had happened to his parents. After an hour he finally worked the door open. As he opened the door he slipped and fell out cause he was so small.

He landed on the red floor patted in blood, part of the blood splashed into the side of his hair turning it red and into his eyes changing the gold encircling the pupal into a red matching his hair. He looked at the floor

"what this mommy?"

he looked around after standing up his body froze as he saw his mommy on the floor in-front of him

"mommy"

He ran over and hugged her tight.

"Wake up mommy lets play something!"

When she didn't reply he got worried and ran out of the room and looked down stairs looking for his daddy

"daddy? where are you daddy?"

He ran down the stairs. Half way down the stairs he noticed his daddy was laying there. The floor and stairs around him was covered in the same stuff as his mommy. He ran over and nudged him hard

"daddy. mommy wont wake up"

He bit his dads ear and tried to tug him up the stairs. He noticed his daddy didn't move at all so he looked around

"d..daddy wake up!"

he waited for a reply and said it again

"daddy wake up!"

He started to cry and hug his daddy tight as he yelled at the top of his lungs the floor started to make pat sounds as his tears collided with the blood it mixing together.

"daddy please wake up!"

He cried more as he slowly made his way to his daddy's warm belly and snuggled against him their fur colliding as he laid his hooves over him

"I..I wont leave tell you wake up daddy. then you and mommy can play with me all day. j..just please wake up"

He slowly drifted into sleep from crying for the rest of the night.
