Introduction:
It all started that dark day, the day Stable 126 opened.....
I woke up to the sound of screaming. Screaming that sent chills of horror straight down my spine and into my hind legs making every single hair on my body stick up.
-••••••••-
Outside of my bedroom door it sounded as if there were a thousand ponies racing trying to get someplace safe all at once"What in fuck is going on out there!?"I said out of frustration as I stood up and trotted over to my door, just as I reached to open the it i heard a loud ear peircing sound *BLAM!!*. (Could it be? Was that a gun!? No no no it couldn't have been a gunshot why would some pony shoot a gun......unless, well no there are no ponies outside the stable doors right?)
I stumbled backwards out of surprise tripped over a pile of books and fell to the floor "damn" I said as I stood up slowly walked over to the door, I peeked out into the halls, there was three, maybe four scarred up and blood spattered ponies "HA HA HA HUA HA!!! Lookie wut we got heer".
One of them grabbed me by the ear with her teeth and yanked me into the hallway
"How bout we play a little game called DODGE THE BULLET".
"Wh-WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, D-DONT COME NEAR ME! I-IF YOU DO I'LL-I'LL".
''WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO STARE ME TO DEATH!?? HA HA HA."
"G-GET THE FUCK AWAY P-PLEASE DONT HURT ME!"
I shouted out of fear as they walked towards me with sharpened metal poles and spiked wooden clubs that were blood spattered from the ponies of Stable 126.
"Oh we only want to have a little fun" HA HA HUA HA!!!"
I turned and ran as fast as I could dodging everthing that was in my way *WUMP* "OH SHIT!!" I tripped and slid across the floor on my face, I scrambled back up onto my hooves and turned around and looked to see what i had tripped over.
''Oh Celestia have mercy'' it was a dead body. Why, why would somepony kill an innicent mare who the hell are these ponies?
"Grim is that you!?'' I turned to a frightened but familiar voice and saw my marefriend standing in a maintenance closet ''Melody? I-im coming!?"I ran towards the closet as fast as my legs could take me *BLAM!!* "OH SHIT!!" the bullet zoomed through the air and struck me in my left hind leg "AAAAAHHHH!!!" I screamed out in pain as i dived desprately towards the closet and slammed the door behind me
"GRIM!! OH SHIT ARE-ARE YOU OK!?" She ran over to me and dragged me behind some storage crates.
"Y-yes I-Im ok its just, my leg i-is there a med kit in here." She turned and looked at the rapidly bleeding bullet wound on my left hind leg.
"I'll try and find some bandages, okay Grim."
"Um o-okay''
Melody turned around and started rummaging through everything in the closet.
I looked to my left and saw a med-kit on the wall "Melody th-there's a med kit over there"
"oh uh sorry i didnt see it"
She tore it open and grabbed the bandages and the one health potion that was there.
"here Grim, drink this" she put the health potion to my lips and tipped it up, then unrolled one of the bandages and bent down "this might hurt a bit she lifted up my leg and wrapped it up with the bandage. She saved a bit of the health potion for herself, she had some small cuts and bruises on her side and a large gash on the left side of her flank.
"Melody y-your flank its bleeding alot"
"WHAT uh i didnt even know"
"here let me bandage it up"
I stood up, limped over behind her and unrolled the bandage "Tell me if i hurt you Melody" I started wrapping it around the gash as tight as i could without causing to much pain.
"Melody w-why are you blushing?" at this moment her whole face went red "OH UH I its just um you've never touched my uh r-rump before.
"Hehe" i chuckled a bit then smiled at her.
I leaned forwards kissed her on the lips and winked at her.
She stood there froze for a minute then looked at me awkwardly, she slowly trotted over next to me and laid her head down on my front left shoulder she smiled weakly.
(And for some reason she was still blushing a bit)
I gave her a slight smile then reached over and stroked my hoof through her soft pink and purple mane.
"Melody you are one beautiful mare".
•----------•
"Melody w-we need to find a way out". "Out of w-what. "The stable"
"WHAT b-but we will die out there"
"Melody, if we dont we WILL die, but there is a chance for us to survive if we leave the stable"
"I-I just I..."she wimpered in a low voice.
"Melody I will not let you die I love you. okay?"
"Alright"
I struggled to stand up on my wounded leg and limped over to the door.(It didnt hurt as bad as it did a few minutes ago it had healed some.)
"Come on Melody lets go, if we stay here those ponies will find us"
Melody stood up and took a deep breath then trotted over next to me.
I smiled at her and reached for the door."You ready?"
"Y-yes im ready"
"alright lets go" I swung open the door and limped into the hallway.
I looked around to make sure there was nothing coming and we darted down the halls.
"Grim where do we go i dont know where the stable door is!?"
"I sorta do, remember the tour of the stable back in grade school?"
"oh, ya i forgot"
Our running slowed down to a slow trot then we came to a stop.
I looked around the room we were in and tried to remember which way to go.
"we go left here, I think"
"You...THINK?!"
"Yeah i think, now c'mon"
We turned towards the door on the left of the room and trotted over to it I reached out my hoof to open the door, "I-its locked"
"FUCK!!" Melody yelled in a terrified but very angry tone, she broke down into tears and dropped to the floor, I sat down and stroked my hoof through her mane "Melody, please stop crying w-we'll find a way out of this damned place, I promise"I stood up and started looking through all of the desks in the room despretely trying to find the key. "AH HA I THINK FOUND THE KEY!" I couldnt contain my exitement.
Melody jumped up and ran over to the door I slowly put the key in the hole and twisted *click*
I felt a sudden relief as the door cracked open. I peeked in to see three other ponies guarding The stable door "damnit theres three more of those ponies guarding the exit".
Wait, if the stable door is right there then the stable guards lockers should be right THERE "Melody, the lockers they should have guns in them"
We both trotted over to the lockers and gave each one a tug
shit, well i hope my lockpicking skills are good enough to do this.
I slipped a bobby pin out of my saddlebag and started at the locks *click* thats one open *click* thats two open and now the last one *click* "Thank Celestia I opened all three"
In the lockers was two guns eight boxes of ammo a grenade and some more bandages oh also another health potion. I gave Melody a gun and two boxes of ammo for now.
We had some training for shooting guns back in grade school.
We trotted back over to the door and i peeked in, they're still there, i opened my saddlebag and pulled out the grenade with my teeth, I yanked the pin out rolled it into the room and slammed the door "Stand back Melody" *BOOM!!* I felt sick at my stomache, I had never killed a pony I never thought I would have to, but I guess I have to now. We slowly walked back over to the door and pushed it open to see a now very bloody mess.Suddenly I puked all over the floor and everything went black.
I woke up to Melody shaking me all over the place "GRIM!, GRIM! ARE YOU OK!? WAKE UP GRIM!".
"Yeah-yeah im ok"
•-----------•
The look on Melody's face went from a worried look to a VERY worried and terrified look.
The door was blown off of its hinges with I dont know what.
"Holy shit"
I said as i trotted towards what was the door to stable 126.
I hesitated a bit, well alot, then slowly stepped out into the darkness of the outside world my mind went blank. I found it hard to believe anything could live out here I could hardly get a word out of my mouth."M-Melody I-I am not t-to sure about th-this any more"
The sky was dark and much taller than the inside of the stable.
I started to get a little dizzy, I stumbled over and fell on my rump so did Melody.
-••••••••••••-
"M-Melody weve gotta go before those other ponies find us"
"Okay l-lets go"
We stood up and followed the path for what seemed like hours then we came up on a camp of ponies that looked like more of those phsycos from the stable.
"G-G-Grim are those m-more of those ponies?"
"sshh just be quiet and follow me, its gonna be ok, just dont be loud" I had started to wonder what those ponies would do if they caught us, then *Crunch* Oh shit I stepped on
a, B-BONE!?
"HUH! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? WHO'S THERE!? IF YOUR A RAIDER YOU BETTER COME OUT RIGHT NOW!?"
I slowly stepped out from behind the boulder we were hiding behind and tried to reason with the pony"We-we're not raiders we dont want any trouble we were just looking for a place to stay please dont hurt us"
"Alright but just keep it in mind that if you or your little marefriend try anything I will not hesitate before blowing your fuckin heads off...BOYS OPEN THE GATE!!"
Melody's eyes went more wide than when I first kissed her.
"Melody just do what he says and he wont hurt us okay". "Okay Grim I-I will"
