" Well if it's not Reese Pieces or should I say Splatter Face. " Diamond Tiara giggled aloud in a wicked tone her cold eyes slowly gazing upon the innocent filly unicorn in front of her.

Light blue eyes gazed down as a golden matted mane was frazzled out and messy the small unicorns' cheeks turning a light red color burning darker with embarrassment as the taunting continued.

Reese never thought of herself as special pony she played by the rules' and at most never got into serious trouble, so why did all the girls' make a pass time of teasing her?

Deep down she thought it was because of her coat she was a light brown color with dark brown patches all over her body in short she knew it made her look quite odd, With a thud Diamond Tiara flicked her hard on the forehead with her hoof.

" What nothing to say Patches? " Tiara spoke in a serious tone leaning forward slowly both of the fillies eyes meeting in a silent standoff.

Heart racing Reese felt the world spinning should she try to run or simply stand her ground? she couldn't fight back Tiara had brought a group of two fillies if she tried anything she would surely take a beating.

With a soft sigh Reese slowly stomped her small hooves against the ground eyes shut tightly knowing she did not want to know what was going to come next.

" Patches!, oh like a something pieced together! " A blonde maned filly spoke out within the group in an innocent yet almost bubbly tone a goofy smile across her face while the group of fillies slowly turned their attention towards her.

" Yes Dinky. that was the joke thank you for pointing it out. " Tiara trailed off shaking her head in silence as giggling could be heard among the group of young mares.

With the tension among the group broken Tiara merely flaunted a slender hoof toward Reese in a catty manner before walking off with her friends.

" I'll deal with you later Reese Pieces! " Was her last remark as she gazed down to Reese's hooves then over her body and back to her eyes sneering before vanishing into the distance.

With a sigh of relief Reese was glad the battle was over, yet worried the war had just begun.

***

The Everfree Forrest was quiet this day usually she could hear the chirping of birds' on the branches above or maybe the scampering of rabbits scurrying across the grass.

Yet today nothing as if all the creatures were gone, a small ping in her heart caused Reese to sigh in worry and sadness.

Why did everything run from her?

Why did ponies pick on her?

Why did she feel so alone?

Her long messy golden mane was let down flowing below her shoulders and down her backside as light blue tears formed in her eyes gently trickling down her cheeks in silence. She would never want anyone to see her crying to see her so weak and vulnerable like a frail branch in the wind about to break holding on so tightly not to fall into the darkness below.

Wiping the tears away from her eyes she slowly made her way to the tallest tree within the woods it towered high above like a guardian protecting all who would stand under its' mighty presence.

Gently she sat under The Guardian her back to its' solid trunk as she allowed herself to become lost in her own thought's , she hated being so shy never feeling like she belonged anywhere.

A pony named Fluttershy though she was different she had found her so long ago in these same woods and welcomed her to Ponyville with open hooves, she was funny and sweet a little overworked at times but she knew she had a good heart.

Yet the more time they spent together up town the more she felt them drift an invisible barrier had set up between them and no matter how hard she tried she could not break through it.

It was because Fluttershy had asked where she lived once, Reese couldn't bring herself to tell her she lived alone in the forest for as long as she could remember forgotten by her own family much like everypony else. So instead of facing her problems she decided to space herself from Fluttershy and run from them.

She often dreamed though that Fluttershy had seen her like a daughter, As Reese saw her maybe like a mother at a time.

Her saviour who one day would sweep her up in her hooves and take her away from all the strife that followed her.

Blinking long lashes she pouted aloud her daydreams were nothing but simply that dreams.

Only to fade away and never come true, because if everyponys dreams came true then why would she even be here?

Gazing up high to the sky she hoped to hear the chirping return once more but instead was met by silence and darkness from the setting sun in the horizon.

Darkness and Silence.

With friends like these who needs worry?
