Scarlet streaks stumbled through the front doors to her cottage, bruises showing through the burgundy blemish concealer. Her legs weak from running from the mob of bullies that regularly followed her around Ponyville, Her hoofs burning for exhaustion because of them. They stole her money and several came into her house and broke her personal items for their own amusement. They pointed and teased the CutieMarkless pony. She had long since given up talking, except when she was begging for mercy. She looked at the wall to a picture of her mother, the glass covering it was cracked and chipped, but the picture underneath was relatively unharmed. she looked outside as dark clouds formed, as it were about to rain.
Feeling her stomach growl profusely, she limped over to the refrigerator and opened it. Looking around the signal shelf of her fridge she saw it was bleak, all of the donated food was gone.She took out a stale loaf of bread along with some questionable looking butter and some wilted daisies. Placing the Beat up food items on the broken table, that of witch was missing a leg and had a giant hole taken out of the other side. As she turned around to get a knife to slice the hardened bread her tail had swept the butter off the table, making a clanking noise as the glass container slid off the table.
Scarlet swung around to catch the glass dish containing the butter. As it crashed into the ground she heard a distinctive crack come from it, quickly holding a hoof to her face to avoid the small shards of glass from flying into her eye's. In doing so her weak legs lost balance, causing her to fall forwards. Crack Crunch Rip If the dish wasn't already broken now it was, shards of Broken Glass now finding a home in Scarlet's front leg. Sheepishly looking up she saw, to her horror, a thick steam of blood flowing from the fresh wounds.
She struggled to Pull herself up onto her remaining 3 legs, but she managed to pull herself over to the wardrobe that sat on the far side of the 1 roomed cottage. Shoving it open she dug through the dusty sets of clothing, eventually coming to an old Filly Scout sash.
She tore apart the seams and wrapped it tightly around the bloody mass she called a leg. As it got tighter and tighter, the more and more her wound seared in pain. It felt like rubbing salt into a fresh wound or pouring lemon juice into her eyes, both of which she'd experienced.
She fell to her knees as she tried keep the injured leg as straight as possible, wincing in pain when it touched the ground. Looking out side with her tear soaked eyes she saw it was now pouring out. The silent earth pony sighed again, heading a slowly but surely to the front door of the house. Not knowing where she was going, only that she had to go.
Scarlet didn't know where she was headed, but she knew was that she was heading some where else. Thinking back to that moment when she has fallen brought back horrible memories from her filly hood. She thought of the times she has been pushed into walls by other earth ponies, been pelted with small rocks by unicorns, and the synthetic cold wind created by the pegisi. Shivering she bowed her head to look at her leg, then saw her chest that of which had clumps of half dry blood scatted through out her chest fur. she walked with her head down to keep the rain from clouding her vision.Clunck Surprised and started she looked up to a door, above it said, spellbooks potions and more scarlet blinked wondering if she should push the door open to go inside.
Though, she didn't have much time to consider this. Before she could comprehend what was going on, the door flew open and a pair of black hoofs flew towards her."Ack!" They grabed hold of her and swept her into the shop, she winced as the hoofs ruffly handled her wounded leg. The hoofs released her as she stumbled onto the shop floor, the door slamming shut behind her. Looking around she spotted a mare, that wasn't much older than her, trowing a rag onto the floor to soak up the water that scarlet had tracked in.
Almost instantly the rag began to move by itself moved by a strange aura, that looked very alike to a unicorns glow but strangely very different. During her daze of amazement black mare wrenched up her leg and inspected it, causing scarlet to bite her lip in pain. "I've been expecting you, lay down over there and ill tend to you in a bit." The mare pointed to a corner of the room, where blankets had been piled up to create a make shift cot. Confused she limped over and sat down, and waited. I don't remember contacting a doctor, i don't even know this pony. How is she Expecting me, What is going on? Her thoughts were broken when a bowl of hot liquid was brought to her lips. "Drink," commanded the mysterious mare.
Giving in to her better interests, she let the hot soup flow down her thought. Before she knew it the bowl was empty, opening her eyes she could see the bowl was suspended in thin air. Startled she threw herself backwards into the jumble of blankets.
As she fell she threw her leg in front of her, though she forgot it was the mangled leg. She realized this and immediately began to twist to the right to avoid hurting it again. She continued to fall, but couldn't avoid what would happen next.
She landed on her mangled leg on the tip, she herd a snap and saw the streams of scarlet blood spurt onto the blankets that surrounded her. At least 4 inches of bone marrow was now sticking out of her leg as she screamed uncontrollably, and rolled onto the blood soaked covers. All of this happened so quickly, Scarlet Streak tried to put it together.
It all started when she knocked over the glass butter dish, she had been weak at the time and fallen into the glass. She had wrapped the wound in some old clothing and for some odd reason had the urge to wander throughout the town. Then....then she stumbled into this "shop" with this strange pony saying she had expected her, and now here she was rolling in agony in front of the black mare.
Biting her lip she looked up to the strange mare, who was looking into a big book and chanting something, and for the first time in awhile she spoke."W-what are you saying," Scarlet croaked the mare continued to chant. A strange blue aura erupted from the mares mouth, Then Scarlet took a moment to realize that the mare had no horn. In her confusion and amazement she didn't see the aura reaching for her hurt leg.
As the blue glow entered her leg, searing pain shot through her leg at break-neck speed several times. Her head snapped back, her eyes rolled into the back of her head and everything went black.
Next this she knew she woke up in an empty room every thing was the same, books lining the shelves, potions gathered on the counter, and candles lit. But there was a lack of others in the room. Her attention was next drawn to 3 items carefully placed onto the ground in front of her, one of which bared a note. It said If you ever need help come back here, also take these items there pretty self explanatory. The glass shards in that container are the shards i extracted from your leg USE THEM VERY WISELY, for now at least. The next item is a bone wand, and don't be too started at this but its your bone that broke. This is your destiny trust me.Until next time I'll be expecting you.
Looking around the note and saw the wand and the container of glass, she looked to her leg and saw it was fully healed no sign of the bone or cuts that were apparent before. Though there was a strange mark where the hole had been, so she pulled the bloody sash around it once more. She then turned her attention to the book. Reading the Cover she realized what the other two items were for. The title of the book read 50 Uses for Broken Glass.
