Load Full StoryThe tale of how Shadow Wrath got her cutie mark and her back story
Shadow Wrath was a very friendly, polite, young filly who grew up in Cloudsdale, Equestria who wanted nothing more than her dads approval, which being a member of the Wrath family it was hard to please him in any other way except for all the kills she had made the day before. When Shadow went to filly school her dad said two things that stuck in her head till this very day and they were “1. Hurt as many other fillies as possible and 2. I don’t care about happiness I care about pain and suffering one day you will get you cutie mark that is similar to mine then you will have to kills ponies and you will like it.” “But da…” Shadow tried to say when she was interrupted by her father when he said “don’t but dad me I just don’t care anymore ok now have a good day at filly school and bring me a class mate home for dinner it has been awhile since I had a filly for dinner” when she walked in the school grounds there was the most gorgeous teacher she had ever saw and it was no other then Cheerilee. when Cheerilee saw the sad filly she walked over to Shadow and said “sweetie are you ok” Shadow shock her head and said “I look hideous I need a mask or some sunglasses or something to hide my eyes, after all who else has lime green eyes? And the name’s Shadow. Shadow Wrath” Cheerilee smiled and replied “well normally I don’t let students wear glasses in class but there was one other instance where I had no choice but to let this student wear hers but I’m not allowed to identify her in public anymore” Cheerilee went to get the glasses then returned “so here take these put them on and don’t take them off ok?” Cheerilee handed over a pair of dark shaded Poakley sunglasses “wow” replied Shadow “thank you so much” before Shadow could finish her sentence the bell rang and Cheerilee said “ok Shadow, off to class”
At recess there were two bullies picking on her and their names were Winter Star and Misty Midnight saying she had come from a poor family and was evil and all that sort of nasty stuff, it got the better of her and Shadow lashed out and attacking the bullies beating them to a bloody pulp then her cutie mark had appeared it stands for hatred and evil intent and well horror. The bell had then rung which gave the little fillies a chance to escape.
Back in class, Cheerilee had saw 3 little fillies enter, two of them covered in blood and had black eyes and looked pretty bad, and the third filly looked rather normal besides the blood stains on her hooves, Cheerilee attended the obvious first, the injured fillies naturally and said “girls are you all right? What happened to your faces?” the fillies just replied with “yes we are ok we just err fought each other” Cheerilee nodded but knew something was wrong with that story, then she turned her attention to the other filly in question Shadow Wrath with having blood on her hooves and all and said “well Shadow what’s with the blood on your hooves?” Shadow took off the Poakley sunglasses and stared without a single blink and made her eyes glow unlike anything anypony had ever seen replied “that is all the torture I received just after I was born by my father” then she hit herself in the head which made the glowing stop and put her glasses back on and said “but I don’t like talking about my dad much though” every pony looked at her in disbelieve but quickly paid attention to Cheerilee waiting for a response but even Cheerilee couldn’t respond to that so she said “well anyways lets continue with the lesson shall we?”
By lunch time all the other little fillies wanted to talk to Shadow Wrath about that eye thing she did where it was glowing and Shadow said “ok every filly you all want to know how I do that, then I will tell you, when I was a littler filly and was abused by my father to a state of slipping in and out of conciseness I was visited by the devil who gave me an ability to see how ponies will die in return I sold my soul to the devil after that I regained conciseness, I was barely breathing and I was really sore when I hear my father say “ok I think I have tortured you enough for one day” he then let me down from the torture chamber and I was free to go. Of course I felt a lot of pain but the again when your mum passes away after giving birth and having a sicko for a dad to look after you it is not easy. Oh and yes I can control it when it goes on and off.” Before Shadow could say anymore, she just collapsed from memory overload, which for her at this point in time was a big problem.
After the bell had rung all the students ran into the class to find their seats all that is except for Shadow Wrath who was still collapsed from her memory overload, when Cheerilee was finished with her head count she noticed that Shadow did not return to class so asked if any pony saw her no pony answered except for Winter Star who said “I think I last saw her outside in what looked like she was taking a nap” so Cheerilee asked Winter to show her where she last saw Shadow and Winter did.
By the time they got to her body, Shadow had just woken up and said to herself but was loud enough that both Cheerilee and Winter heard her “err what happened here??? I’ll look around and see if I can remember what happened” she looked around then said in the same voice “oh no it didn’t happen again did it?” then before Shadow could answer her own question Cheerilee replied back saying “did WHAT happen again?” Shadow froze up for a second before replying “it did. you see” then Shadow told Cheerilee and Winter her secret while the trio was walking back to class “after a while of my sicko dad and his “wrong doings” I started to black out often and I would pass out, sometimes at home and sometimes in public but It takes about half an hour to regain conciseness and remember what I was doing and if it happened in public well I would have to deal with the humiliation of a laughing crowd and they would laugh AT me so yeah you two now know my secret don’t EVER tell any pony ok?” Cheerilee and Winter nodded as they walked in the classroom.
By the end of the day Cheerilee asked Shadow, Winter and Misty to stay behind and sure enough they all did, Cheerilee asked the trio “about what happened at recess, can you three please tell me what really happened?” the trio looked blankly at each other as if to say who would tell her before Shadow replied “it was me, the blood stained hooves story was a lie to be honest these two were bulling me about how I live with a poor family that is evil and what not so I bashed them up and I don’t know how but after the bell rang to signal that recess was over I noticed my cutie mark had appeared and I know what it stands for, it stands for hatred, evil and horror I don’t know why I got this of all possible cutie marks but I’m sure I will find out soon” Cheerilee replied “wow um ok but one thing I don’t understand about you shadow is how you did that eye glowing thing and what it was” “oh and Winter and Misty you are free to go home now” as the other fillies left Shadow replied “oh that thing that’s nothing all it does is tell me how ponies will die and with you I saw you on a table being cut in half just keep your guard up because the figure I saw well I couldn’t identify who they were” Cheerilee nodded then dismissed Shadow. When Shadow left, the school grounds she saw her father rather angry to see every filly in Shadow’s class leave his sight in safe hooves so when he saw his daughter he was not in the best mood. Shadow said to herself “well time to be whipped till I’m just about dead” as Shadow saw her dad he said “well why didn’t you well in your um task I told you to do?” Shadow replied “I will tell you at home”
When Shadow walked in the door, her father took her to the torture chamber and said the same question “WHY DIDN’T YOU GET ME ANY FILLIES?” and Shadow’s response was “because we aren’t eating fillies tonight” she then knocked her father in the head with a weapon which knocked him out cold for about ten minutes “because I’m eating you, father. I will never miss you” Shadow then tied her father up on the torture chamber as she remembered for her father doing it to her so many times in the past.
When Shadow’s dad woke up Shadow said, “The only reason we are not eating fillies tonight is because I’m eating you, look where you are father I hope you loved your life, any last words?” Shadow’s dad replied “yes indeed your finally doing what I have trained you to do that’s it, go on, finish me and I noticed you cutie mark I’m finally ready for what you want to do to my body now kill me but choose wisely if you go for a slow death you can torture them into whatever your heart desires or if you kill quickly you can eat sooner rather than later your call what’s it gonna be?”
