Blue Dusk

Ballon picked himself up, a sharp ringing in his ears. He could hear a faint voice. He tried calling out to it. Nothing came out. He grabbed his throat, a hot liquid flowed through his hands. Tears began to streak down his face.  A blur moved towards him, snatching his hands and pulled him away from the destroyed house.

"Oh shit shit shit. L-let me see it." Requested his brother. Ballon removed his shaking hand, the blood now flowed freely.

"You'll be fine, " explained his brother, wrapping Ballon's neck with cloth, "Just don't try to talk for a while, ok?"

Ballon nodded. "Alright, we need to get the fuck out of here, find your friends and get to the cabin. We clear?" Ballon mouthed out yes.

They rounded the corner, carefully dodging any holes created by the shelling.

"Which way to Doigt's house?" Ballon pointed to the left. They rounded the bend, only to be greeted by two pegasi troopers. Fèrer floored it, running of the two soldiers. Two small bumps where all that could be felt.

Ballon looked at his brother. He was in as much shock as Ballon. The thought of Equine troops, allies for centuries, invading them? A thought impossible to every citizen in their land. But, it's occurring before their very eyes.

"How close to Doigt's house?"

Ballon half up two fingers.

"Ok, just two miles."

They arrived at Doigt's house, only to come across his captured family.

"Damn it."

Ballon looked across the street, to see Rebelle and Réservoir running towards them. They hopped in, speeding off into the distance. The soldiers guarding the family heard this and opened fire.

"Shit!" Screamed Rebelle.

"What?"

"Something hit me."

"Can you see it?"

"No you dumbass! It's the middle of the fucking night."

The horn of car sounded behind them. Signaling that they where behind them.

"Frère, what do we do?"

"What is the car?"

"The most gayest looking Prius I've ever seen."

"Most be people from out of town."

They drive for a little. Coming across large holes and dead bodies. Both Zebra and Pony.

"What should we do now?" Asked Rebelle and Réservoir.

"Get out of the city. Head for the woods and find any survivors."
