Prologue: Me and my broken heart

I ran, thinking of nothing, and stopped at the entrance that clearing where I saw the ponies... and my dad's body. He lay there on the dirt floor, shattered. With no sign of life. A pile of twigs. And looked burned, and could prove it when I saw a pony with a weapon that breathed fire. For this reason he did not get up or rebuilt. Just stood there. Now, Jango was dead, and I knew it.

It was as if I heard something break. I do not know what it was, but the greatest option was my heart. Do hearts be broken? I do not know. But it seems that my broke.

“Daddy!” this was the first and perhaps only thing that came to mind.

“Stay back kid, he can be alive. He can hurt you,” a tall black unicorn is said. He looked old, with blue eyes, with scars to all sides and looked at Jango with a face of disgust. I pushed him away and went closer to the pile of kindling.

“Daddy? Daddy?! DADDY!” I felt my eyes filled with tears, and then they fell. I did not care about the ponies there. I only cared about my father. Why? Why would they do that? He was my father and not a monster. Tears spilled on the ground and on Jango, and I just stayed more five minutes motionless there, watching the rest of sticks on the ground as I thought what would be of me and Cloudy? How would I live without him? And most importantly, I still thought why those monsters had killed my father.

But then I turned around, trying to hold back the tears. I sighed. “Why?”

“Why what?” again, the black unicorn was talking to me.

“Why did you and these ponies done that?! My father never done anything bad in his entire life!” I had never been so nervous as that day. But that seemed to have no effect made them, ponies were quiet for a minute. And then laughed. “What? You ponies think that is funny?!”

“She said the wolf is her father! What a crazy filly!” one said amid laughter.

“Your father you say? What he done to you? Ate you brain?! He was a monster!” the black unicorn said after recovering from the laughter.

“Yeah lil’ filly, this animal was a monster with no heart! No brain! Nothing! He can’t be your father! After all, he was a timberwolf and you a pony! How can be this wolf made of wood father of a pony? He was just using you, was going to eat you in the winter!” an orange pony said, coming near me and jeering.

“That’s not true!” I shouted.

“No, that's the truth and always will be! Now, we will take you to Ponyville, you will be safe with us,” the tone of the black unicorn had changed to something softer, looking at me with a smile.

“No! I will not go with… You and your monsters!”

“If not going for good, for evil will!” after the black stallion said that, I felt that my hooves were not on the floor. He was levitating me with his magic! But I struggled so much that he eventually let me go. When I fell on the floor with a thud, I got up as fast as I could and ran. I heard the unicorn shouting for others to come after me, and I also heard a bang. It was lightning. It had started to rain. Maybe it helps if I'm missing, as the mud could leave them slower.

I kept seeing that their voices were becoming more distant. I heard something accompany me through the trees, it was Cloudy. But as I looked at the trees, I stumbled. Falling, and making a cut on my leg. I groaned in pain, slowly rising from the ground.

“Damn…” I sighed, as I looked back. No signal of anypony. Just rain, in a dark part of Everfree Forest; but the worst, I did not know this part of the forest. My father had never brought me there. Oh, my father… After I think of he, I felt a tear run down my face. What would I do without him? Where would I go? These same issues were chattering in my head all the time.

And the worst was... I have not had the chance to say goodbye…

I sighed again. “Cloudy come here,” I called him weakly, then let out a soft moan of pain by cutting done on my skin. The little brown squirrel ran quickly out of the tree, standing next to me and looking up to see me; was odd, he seemed to know how I was suffering. I sighed again, “Cloudy, listen to me… I… I don’t know what we’ll do now, just… Go to the forest, let me alone and…” I stopped for a minute, I had started to cry. Cloudy was my friend, and after my father, he was the one. So I cried, knowing that this might be a dumb request, but I should do that, “And go live with your family, please. That’s not a request, that is a order Cloudy. You cannot live with me… And I don’t know what I will do without my father, just… Go.”

The squirrel shook his head, then pressed his face into my leg, rubbing it.

“No Cloudy, go!” Cloudy let go of my leg, and ilhou at me with shining eyes, I sighed, “Please, go! If you like me, go Cloudy, I can’t stay with you, and after all, you a big squirrel now.”

He repeated his previous actions, and then climbed a tree and I could hear his steps walking away. I sighed. It seemed that this was the action I would have more going forward, sighing.

I looked at a small puddle formed in front of me, seeing my reflection and seeing a drop in water. It was not rain, it was a tear. One more. Of many that were probably coming. And again, I sighed. I kept walking, knowing that the ponies had given up and was going ahead.

Damn, Minka, why does it always have to be so for you?

I kept trotting slowly through the woods, seeing as it was getting darker and darker. I winced as I heard a roar. It was thick, reminding me of a... Bear. Oh no.

        I stopped there, standing still in the middle of the dirt road that was dark by the amount of trees around, I knew that if I turned myself I would him. And I remembered when my father had struggled with when I was chasing a butterfly and I ran into a huge brown bear.

I heard a slight growl from him, and the noise of his heavy paws hitting the ground and approaching me. My only instinct: Run.

        And the second time the day I was running from something. Escaping to be exact. My heart beat rapidly as I heard his paws hitting the ground as he ran slowly behind me. My trotting was quick, surpassing the big and flabby animal, lucky for me.

        I looked back, seeing as he was too far away. I laughed. But it seemed that everything was against me, and I fell again. But this time it was a small gully. I let out a cry of surprise, closing my eyes.

        “Ouch!” I screamed, landing on the ground of grass and feeling my leg hurts more than before. Looked at it, tried to move it, “Ouch, that hurts!” I said, feeling excruciating pain just trying to move it. And if I could not move it, could not walk. Oh no…

I looked around, no animal to help me. No Manticore, nothing. And I would not believe in a pony. Oh no, that’s the worst thing ever…

“Someone! Help me! Please, I… I just want to get out of here! I… I… Don’t know what I’m doing here…” tears began to roll down my face again, of pain and the events. I eventually gave up calling some animal, resting my head on the floor and after some time, sleeping. Maybe it takes my pain away.
