Life of Chry Volume One : Reese Pieces.

" She can never belong." The Mares Voice spoke in a cold icy tone filled with no emotion nor pity.

"Come I'll show you real suffering..." The Voice trailed off once more in nothingness, Reese felt as if her memories of the past were slowly trying to push their way back into her mind.

" You know I've always wanted a little sister I could look after." Applebloom giggled as she sat atop a tower of hay bales a bright smile across her face as hay strands were tangled into her bright red mane.

Reese snapped back into reality as she beamed with happiness the last few days were like a never-ending dream itself, her and Applebloom spent the afternoons playing all kinds of games.

And during the morning she would help out Big Mac with chores as he taught her about apple-bucking and farming, then when night came she was able to help AJ and Granny Smith out in the kitchen and cook up a meal.

It was wonderful never had she eaten so much in the last few days her belly was tight no longer pushed in and thin, though no matter how much she ate she never got a satisfied feeling.

Slowly hopping up the hay bales she tried to catch up with her new friend or maybe she was now her sister?

Taking the last bale with wobbly hooves she pulled herself up on top of the pile taking a seat beside Applebloom who softly nudged her side happily, both fillies gazed out towards the horizon and what was there was magnificent.

The sun was lowering in the distance as the sky turned a bright orange color like no other, Ponyville in the horizon was almost glistening in the sun like magic.

It was beautiful unlike the trees' of the forest this scenery made her heart skip and eyes sparkle with a sense of awe that maybe things can get better with time, for the first time in a long time she felt hope.

" What do you think? " Applebloom asked with a smile her bangs falling over her eyes softly as she gazed to the small sickly looking filly.

" It's beautiful." Reese blushed as she felt a spark in her body one she knew was a good feeling not a panic attack.

" That it is, hey why is your name Reese Pieces? " Applebloom asked her eyes filled with a sense of curiosity.

" Well I didn't choose it you can say it chose me." Reese folded her ears back softly as thoughts floated back to her like a leaf atop a gentle stream.

" This girl Diamond Tiara and some friends found me in the woods one day and began to tease me, they called me all types of things like Patches, Frankenpony but the one that stuck was Reese Pieces Tiara said it was a multicolored candy she had once eaten and hated." Reese finished as her blue hues gazed upon her uneven coat.

" Well I think your coat is very nice, it's different and that's good." Applebloom giggled while she pushed Reese at the side with her hoof gently both girls bursting out in giggles before they rolled down the hay bales with a soft thud.

" Well Big Sis this day is as fun as rustlin' some sheep." Reese suddenly spoke in a thick and natural southern accent Applebloom casting her a odd glance.

" Hehehe. That's pretty good impression almost sounds just like me." Applebloom giggled as she rolled around in the hay Reese nodded along with a smile.

Yet in her mind she knew she didn't mean to do a impression her voice just changed on its own.

" Fillies come on in now, we need help with the fixin's inside! " AJ yelled from the front porch her mane neatly styled even though she had finished a long day of Apple Bucking.

" Coming!, C'mon Reese I'll Race ya! " Applebloom giggled as she quickly nudged her new friend and bolted off towards the house, Reese nodded in silence as she slowly trotted after her mind filling with many question's.

" Then we explored the woods a bit, though Reese seemed to know a lot about them which was cool, I hope we can head up town tomorrow I want to introduce her to my friend's and she can even be in the CMC! " Applebloom bounced up and down on her chair as the family ate their dinner.

" Now Lil sister don't be runnin' the poor thing down, if she feels like restin' just let her rest." AJ spoke as her little sister rolled her eyes softly.

" How do you like it here so far hmmm? " Granny Smith asked rising a brow as Reese slowly munched on a hay salad before her with a side of oats.

Reese just flashed a smile and nodded in a yes fashion.

" Hon it's rude not to say anything when a pony talks to you." AJ smiled as she patted Reese on the head softly.

Reese just sighed looking to Granny Smith and let her ears perk up slightly.

" Well...this here house feels like a home, I really like it bein' able to run and play all day." Reese spoke as she quickly bit her lower lip her accent thicker now.

Big Mac just chuckled aloud as AJ shot the small filly an odd look, Applebloom bursting out in giggles as well.

" I almost forgot she started doing impressions today! " Applebloom continued to giggle as AJ just shook her head softly side to side.

" We don't sound like that, apologise Reese please." AJ spoke eyes narrowing a bit as Granny Smith just smiled.

" Oh let the filly have some fun the poor thing earned it." Granny Smith spoke before flashing a small wink to Reese.

Reese nodded as she looked to AJ eyes filled with a apologetic tone.

" I'm sorry sugarcubes, may I please be excused y'all." Reese spoke her Southern drawl cracking a bit while she quickly hoped off her chair and galloped outside.

***

The night air caressed the small filly like a welcoming touch as she sat down on the edge of the porch staring up towards the sky softly watching the stars shine high above.

AJ slowly poked her head out looking down to the filly trotting to her side and taking a seat too, a small silence forming between both of them.

" Are you ok sugarcube? " AJ asked knowing something was eating at the small child who slowly gazed over to her shrugging.

" I didn't mean to poke fun at you AJ." She spoke her voice back to normal as her ears perked up happily.

" Awww, it's ok impression's are just a way of having fun Pinkie does em' all the time." AJ giggled as she gave the filly a small hug.

" You shouldn't be so sensitive about things lil filly you need to toughen up, Hey I know I'm heading up to town tomorrow you should tag along." AJ giggled as the young filly nodded along her eyes filled with happiness again.

" That sounds great! " Reese almost yelled aloud her small tail swishing side to side as she jumped into AJ's arms hugging her tightly.

AJ smiled returning the hug she felt a surge of love entering her heart and warming up her soul slowly, the small filly smiled taking a small breath before her stomach growled aloud softly.

" You're still hungry lil one, c'mon let's go finish our dinner." AJ smiled placing down the filly walking inside as Reese nodded slowly walking after her back into the warmth of the house.

The cold wind almost seemed to whisper to her softly while she turned around gazing to the darkness, not out of fear but calmness blinking long lashes she wondered if out there her family thought of her during the night.

Walking inside she allowed the door to come to a close, tomorrow would bring many new challenges.
