Help from a Sister

Marble Pie walked anxiously down the streets of Manehatten. She was attempting to leave this city to go to a small town known as Ponyville. The reason she was wanting to leave in such a hurry was because she was worried about a certain somepony had found out about her leaving, and attempted to follow her. The stallion she was worried about was some pony she, at first, thought loved her with every fiber of his being, and thought that she was madly in love with as well. However, after living with this stallion for over 5 months, she knew this stallion was bad news. She knew there was no turning back after what she had just done. She knew as soon as he found out he would be beyond furious. She knew that when he found out about what she did, he would hunt her down and either A: try and force her to come back home, which was more like a prison to her, or, even worse, try to kill her. This stallion, if you'd really like to know who he is, is Marble Pie's "boyfriend" Weight Crusher. Him and Marble actually first met in Manehatten when she first moved there. They met at a coffee shop in the mid after-noon. They both ordered the same coffee. Regular black, no sugar, and light on whipped cream. They first saw a glimpse of each other when they were standing in line. Then they finally saw each other. When there eye's met, they immediately felt a physical attraction towards one another. Weight Crusher, who was a big, muscular earth pony stallion, and had a cutie mark of a weight being bent in half, felt attracted to Marble's long black mane, beautiful purple eyes, and her glass heart-shaped cutie mark.

"So you ordered the same thing as I did miss?" The stallion said with a smile on his face.

*nervously* "Yeah, I guess we did." Marble replied with a cute blush, and smile on her face as well.

"Well, if it's alright with you, can we sit together Miss..."

"Marble...Marble Pie, and I'd like that."

"Thank you Marble. And my name's Weight Crusher by the way."

After that meeting, Marble and Weight became almost inseparable. They went out on date's, they talked a lot, and, overall, had fun together. Then, one day Weight Crusher asked Marble to come live with him in his house. Marble, at first, was a little hesitant, but then she agreed to it. Mainly because she wanted to move out of her one room apartment she lived in for the first month-and-a-half in Manehatten.

However, their relationship wasn't perfect by any means. Even though he was nice, sometimes he came across as kind of paranoid. Whenever Marble would talk to some of her friends in Manehatten, he would really want to know who they were, even though he didn't NEED to.

She found out about that when he caught her talking to a stallion at the Manehatten Library. He was a stallion she worked with at the Manehatten Jewelry Shop. He was a gay stallion who owned the shop, and became pretty good friends with her. As they were talking, Weight Crusher came over and asked

"Marble, can we talk?" He said in a semi serious voice.

Marble felt weird and then bid the stallion farewell.

She then went up to him and asked "Weight what's wrong?"

He said " Who was that stallion you were talking to?"

"Oh him, that's Mortimer. He's the owner of the store I work at. Were just friends. He dosen't swing towards me."

Weight raised an eye brow and asked "So he's gay?"

"Yeah!" Marble said. "There's no problem with that, is there?"

Weight then said "I guess not."

After that, Marble thought, even though he never told her flat out, that Weight that Mortimer was hitting on her. She was starting to think that he wasn't exactly a trustworthy pony.

She also got grabbed a lot when she talked back to him, but he quickly apologized for it. It never got physical by any means...until one day it did happen

*Flashback*

Marble Pie had just finished washing the dishes, when she heard the door open. Weight Crusher had just gotten home from work, which was at a construction yard. Marble used to work at a jewelry shop, but got laid off, due to business ordeals. Now she was just a housewife, or girlfriend since they weren't married yet

She greeted him with a very happy "Hi Sweetie, how was work

Weight Crusher, with a very unhappy look on his face, said "Terrible, and I don't want to talk about it. I just want to relax and have dinner."

Marble was surprised at his outburst.

Then Weight said "Why isn't there dinner for me right now by the way? You didn't think to make some so I could come home to a hot meal when I had a shitty fucking day at work

Marble really couldn't believe what he was saying. He hardly ever swore, and when he did it was never the f word. She was starting to get a little scared. Then the unthinkable happened. He did something he thought she would never do to her when they were together.

He slapped her right across the face. HARD.

Then he said in a loud voice "Well that's what you get for being a fucking retard. Now make something. I need a fucking drink."

After he hit her, she immediately made him dinner, while silently crying while doing it. It wasn't just the fact that the slap hurt like hell, because she grew up on a rock farm, so she was somewhat toughened up in a way. She was used to it. She was no where near as tough as her eldest sister Maud was. She was the toughest girl out of the four daughters of her parents Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz Pie. What made her cry was because the slap came from a stallion that she thought loved her and would never hurt her in any way, shape or form.

*End Flashback

After that incident, Weight had changed. He went from being a kind-hearted stallion to an absolute violent, abusive stallion. After that, he started talking down to her, treat her like trash, beat her, make her do things like look at the ground so she couldn't look at anypony while they were walking down the streets of Manehatten, decide things for her, and threaten anypony who even looked at her, and several other things. This went on for about three-and-a-half to four months. She didn't have anypony to talk to either. One because she was busy cleaning the house, and Weight Crusher told her not to talk to anypony, or else, and she didn't want to know what or else meant. She went from loving him to being absolutely terrified of him. Then, one day, which is today if you want to know, after Weight Crusher left for work, she looked in her purse. She had a few bits saved up after her lay-off from the jewelry shop. She had almost 300 bits saved over. This was enough to catch a train and get out of Manehatten once and for all. She got her things and left as quick as she could. She was only a few feet away to the train station, when she took one last look at Manehatten, and thought to herself,

" Goodbye Manehatten."

After that, she quickly went into the train station, and went to the ticket lady.

"Hello, where are you headed to Ma'am?"

"To Ponyville, and please hurry."

"Alright, that will be 100 bits."

Marble forked over the bits, and got her ticket.

The ticket lady then said "The train to Ponyville will arrive in 10 minutes Ma'am. Have a nice and safe trip."

Marble thanked the ticket lady, and rushed over a waiting bench. She waiting anxiously for about 10 minutes, because she was worried Weight Crusher could've left work early and found out about her leaving him. She was like this until finally the train had arrived. Her, along with several other passengers, boarded the train.

"Next stop, Ponyville everypony. All aboard."

Then the train finally started to take off. Marble was finally leaving Manehatten, and Weight Crusher. She was headed to Ponyville to get help from the only pony she knew could really help her. And that was none other than one of her triplet sisters Pinkie Pie. Not only had she been missing her sister dearly, but she knew she worked at a bakery shop in Ponyville. Marble wasn't great at cooking like Pinkie, but she was decent enough. She knew Pinkie could get her a job there. Or at least a place to stay, since she knew she lived there at the bakery shop. She forgot what the name was called, but she could ask some pony there in Ponyville. She couldn't go to her parents, because she didn't want them to know about everything she went through with Weight Crusher. The same thing went for her other triplet sister, Limestone, and her eldest sister Maud. She didn't want them to know about it, because she didn't want to scare them, and she didn't want them to end up doing something they'd regret later on. That thought especially went for Maud and her father, since she knew that they could hurt anypony without even breaking a sweat. So Pinkie was the only option she had. Pinkie was different, because she knew she could keep secrets. It's what she and Pinkie did back when they were filles on the rock farm. So, overall, she was excited and nervous to be leaving Manehatten. Then, she started to slowly drift to sleep, awaiting for her arrival in Ponyville in a few hours.
