Tragedy Strikes
Clouds began to cover the sky above the city of Canterlot as the weather team flew around placing clouds for the rain storm that was scheduled for that evening. Silver Pride looked up at the sky, watching as the weather team went about doing their business. He was a tall earth pony with a dark silver coat and dark gray mane. His cutie mark was the image of a silver horse shoe. He wasn't the most muscular pony but he made up for it in height. His dark green eyes quickly looked to his left at the clock tower off in the distance.
"Oh shit, I'm gonna be late!" He yelped while jumping off the park bench he had been sitting on. "Oh man Lilly is gonna kill me..." He groaned as he pushed his way through the crowd of ponies that littered the streets while making his way to the school building a couple of blocks away. It took Silver Pride a good twenty minutes before he finally got there.
He leaped up the steps of the building while passing a small, white filly with a dark silver mane in the process. He slowly turned around once he landed to face the small pony.
"You're late again daddy." The small filly said as she stood up from her sitting position.
"I'm sorry Lilly, I just lost track of the time." Silver replied in an apologetic tone.
"It's okay daddy." Lilly replied giving her dad a quick hug.
"Mrs. Heart Swirl said she would walk me home if you were late." Lilly said as she attempted to put her saddle bags on her back.
Silver quickly opened the door to the school and poked his head inside "Thanks Mrs. Heart Swirl! I promise it won't happen again!" He called out to the teacher across the room. The teacher gave a small smile as she looked up at the stallion.
"It's quite alright Mr. Pride, but I suggest you get Lilly home before the storm settles in. I hear it is going to be a big one!"
Silver gave out a small chuckle before closing the door and turning to face his young daughter who was still trying to put on her saddle bags.
A warm smile touched Silver's lips as he walked over to his small child. "Do you need any help?" He chuckled.
"No, I got it!" Lilly replied as she once again tried to slid the bags onto her back. Silver let out a small laugh before slowly placing the bags on her back with out her noticing.
"See?! I told you I could do it!" She said as she smiled up at her dad.
"Indeed, you did." He replied "Now lets head home before the storm hits." He said as he began to walk down the steps, his daughter following close behind. The streets were still crowded with ponies trying to get in some last minute shopping before the big storm.
The two ponies made their way through the streets as quickly as the could while trying not to get flattened by other ponies. After walking a few blocks and turning a few corners they arrived at an old run down apartment building. Silver walked up to the door to their apartment with Lilly following closely behind him. He grabbed a loose brick before pulling it out of the wall and retrieving the small key behind it.
He quickly opened the door just as it began to rain and they quickly rushed inside. Lilly instantly ran into the small living room of the apartment and began to pull toys out of the small box in the corner. Silver slowly walked into the room and cleared his throat in a loud manner. Lilly looked up at him confused "What is it daddy?" She asked, cocking her head to one side.
"Doesn't somepony have homework to do?" Lilly let out a loud groan.
"But homework is stupid!" She complained. Silver held back a small laugh before crossing the room and standing beside her.
"Okay, how about a little deal." Silver said as he sat down.
"What kind of deal Lilly?" Replied.
"If you do your homework I will make you one of my world famous grilled cheese sandwiches!"
Lilly placed a hoof on her chin and thought for a second "Make it two and you got a deal." She replied.
"Two it is then." Silver chuckled as he stood up and walked into their small kitchen.
He opened the fridge and pulled out a stick of butter and a package of cheese then retrieved a loaf of bread from the cabinet setting to work on making the sandwiches. A smile touched his face when he heard Lilly softly hum to herself as she began to do her homework. After about fifteen minutes Silver emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate containing four grilled cheese sandwiches.
He carefully placed them down onto the table his daughter was currently doing her homework on. "How's it coming along?" He asked while taking one of the sandwiches.
"I'm done!" She replied handing him the paper.
He scanned over it to make sure she was telling the truth before placing the paper back on the table "Alright, you've earned your prize." Silver replied as he motioned toward the food. Lilly quickly snatched up one of the sandwiches and scarfed it down in about four bites. "Whoa! Slow down!" Silver chuckled "No one is gonna take it from you." Lilly let out a quiet giggle before reaching for her second sandwich before eating it at a slower pace than the previous one.
Silver let out another chuckle before grabbing the last sandwich. He was just about to take a bite when a knock on the door interrupted him. "hmm... I wonder who that could be." Silver said as he stood up and began to walk toward the door. He was about halfway there when a familiar voice called from the other side of the door.
"Open up Mr. Pride. We KNOW you're in there."
Silver froze in fear. His heart began to race and his breathing became erratic.
"Open up Silver! Don't make me break this door down!"
"Who is that daddy?" Lilly asked in a fearful tone.
"Stay here honey, it's just one of daddies old friends." Silver said while trying his best not to make his daughter worried.
"MR. PRIDE!!!" The voice yelled again.
"Yeah I'm coming..." Silver called back "You stay right there." Silver said to Lilly once more before turning back and walking out the door.
He was instantly drenched with rain the moment he stepped outside. "Hey, Shadow Spark. What brings you here?" Silver stuttered as he stared at the unicorn. His coat was pitch black along with his mane. Shadow just stared at Silver with his dark purple eyes. Silver shuddered as he attempted to keep a calm expression on his face.
"Don't play dumb with me." Shadow Spark replied "You know why i'm here."
"Boy, has it been a year already?" Silver replied chuckling nervously.
"Indeed it has." The black unicorn replied. "Where's the money you owe me?"
"Well, you see..." Silver stuttered "I-I don't have it..."
Shadows expression grew more sinister. "I gave you a full year to get back my five-thousand bits. That was more than enough time!" He growled.
Silver Pride began to shiver in fear as Shadow continued to stare into him. "Look, work has been rough. I haven't been making much money as it is! I only make enough to feed me and Lilly and i'm barely able to pay my rent at that!"
"That's not my problem." Shadow growled "There are other ways to collect a debt." He motioned his hoof and two more stallions seemed to jump out of nowhere. They quickly leaped upon Silver and placed a gag in his mouth. "Take him inside!" Shadow said as he opened the door and walked in. The other stallions tossed Silver inside before entering and closing the door.
"What are you doing to my daddy!?" Lilly screamed. Shadow slowly turned to face the small filly.
"Well hello Lilly. It's been a long time since I last seen you. You where just a tiny little baby." He said as he gently stroked the child's face.
"Get away from her!" Silver yelled, his voice muffled by the gag.
"How old are you now? Shadow asked, a devilish grin spread across his face.
"I'm four." Lilly replied nervously.
"Wow, four years old!" Shadow gasped. "You're turning into a big girl aren't you?" He quickly put a hoof around the fillies shoulder and began leading her towards her father. The other two stallions held him down as they came closer.
"Now Lilly, I want to play a game." Shadow said, the devilish grin still on his face. "I want you to pick any part of you daddies body and whichever part you pick I'm gonna cut off." Lilly's eyes began to tear up before she began to cry. "Shh.. Shhh.. Don't cry..." Shadow said in a soft but evil tone. "Now go on. Pick what part of your daddy I should cut. off. first!" He said in a sing-song voice.
Lilly shook her head in protest and began to cry even more. Shadows face became flushed with anger. "I said pick a part you little bitch!" He yelled as he began to violently shake the small filly.
"Let her go!!" Silver yelled out, his voice still muffled by the gag. Shadow just flung the child to the floor before turning to face one of the stallions.
"Jazz!" He said, motioning toward the stallion. "Teach this kid a lesson!" The stallion gave a nod before moving away from Silver and towards Lilly. Shadow quickly held Silver down with his magic, his horn now emanating a dark grey aura. "And you..." He said while looking toward the second stallion. "...get me a knife." The stallion nodded as he got up and walked into the kitchen, returning seconds later with a large kitchen knife.
Shadow took the knife in his magic while still continuing to hold Silver down. He gently ran the blade under Silvers right eye. "You know Silver, if only you could have seen the consequences of your actions..." Shadow suddenly jerked the knife upward, the blade slicing through the middle of Silvers eye. Pain shot through his skull as the vision in his right eye faded with the mixture of blood.
Silver screamed in pain, the gag successfully damping the sound. Shadow continued to slice into the eye though being careful not to go too deep. After what felt like hours for Silver but was only about half a minute to Shadow, he slowly removed the knife from the eye and began admiring his handy work. The organ that once gave Silver Pride sight was now nothing more than a sliced up ball of mush.
"Stop hurting my daddy!!!" Lilly cried out before the stallion known as Jazz began to violently beat her. Each hit brought forth a cry of pain from the small filly.
"Shadow smiled as the sound filled his ears. "Oh! The screams of children sure are beautiful aren't they?" He chuckled as the knife ran down Silvers body, creating large gashes down his chest and stomach.
"Hey boss!" Jazz called out in between hits.
"What!" Shadow replied in an annoyed tone.
"Don't you think someone will hear the screams?"
"No." Shadow replied "These two and the land lord are the only ones that live here and that old stallion can't hear worth a shit!"
"Oh." Jazz replied "Well, in that case..." He quickly flipped the small filly over on her stomach.
"What are you doing?" Shadow asked as he continued to cut away at Silvers flesh.
"I'm gonna relieve some stress." Jazz replied as a wicked grin spread across his face. At first Shadow had no clue what his goon was talking about until he noticed Jazz's member standing erect between his hind legs.
"You are one sick bastard..." Shadow said, a large frown spread across his face. Jazz just chuckled as he positioned himself behind the young filly. Shadow slowly raised Silver up and made sure he got a good view of what was about to happen in front of him. His left eye shot wide open. He looked up at Shadow, a horrified look on his face. Shadow removed the gag from his mouth to let him speak.
"No, please i beg you! Don't do this to her!" Silver cried "She, she didn't do anything! If you're gonna hurt someone hurt me! Don't hurt her!!!"
"Ah, but you see I AM hurting you." Shadow replied "I'm sure seeing your daughter, your own flesh and blood child getting raped right in front of you will cause way more pain than any knife will." Shadow turned to Jazz and gave a quick nod.
Jazz took Lilly's flank in his hooves and thrust forward. Lilly's cries filled the room as the Stallion rammed his member into her underage marehood. A smile crossed Jazz's face as he continued to rock is hips back and forth. "I always did like them tight." Jazz said as he continued to rape the helpless filly. Tears streamed down her face while her marehood was ripped and torn by the stallions cock.
"Oh! She's a screamer!" Jazz laughed.
Rage began to boil inside of Silver. Hatred began to take over as he began to thrash and struggle against Shadows Magic. "I'll kill you!! I'll kill all of you!! Let her go damn it!!"
Shadow looked down at Silver. He actually felt sorry for the silver colored stallion. Shadow knew he could be cold and cruel but even he felt like this was going too far. He had two kids of his own and was seeing the immense pain this was causing Silver. "That's enough." Shadow said as he turned to face Jazz.
"I'm not stopping yet!" Jazz replied as he continued to ram his member into the small filly.
"we're leaving!" Shadow ordered before lifting Silver into the air and throwing him into the wall of the small living room. There was a loud 'crack' as most of Silvers ribs shattered from the impact.
"No! Not yet..." Jazz growled "...I'm almost done." He began to thrust into the filly even harder then before causing more cries of pain to emanate from her lips. Shadow let out a low growl before forcing some magic down his horn. A large wave of grey aura slammed into Jazz, knocking him off of the small filly and sending him backwards into a small bookshelf.
"Now let's go!" Shadow ordered as he turned to leave with the other stallion following behind. Jazz groaned as he climbed to his hooves. He slowly walked over to Lilly. She laid there in shock, unable to move. Jazz turned his head looking over at the one eyed silver colored pony who was currently trying to stand up.
"I'll kill you..." He growled "...I'll fucking kill you!" He yelled, his voice filled with both pain and absolute hatred.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep talking Silver bitch." Jazz mocked as he placed his hoof over Lilly's neck.
"Get away from her you sick bastard!" Silver growled as he began to crawl toward them.
Jazz smiled before pushing down on the fillies neck with all his strength. She let out a quiet whimper before a loud crack echoed throughout the room. Silver froze in shock at the sound and sight before him. Jazz just smirked before turning and walking out of the apartment and into the rain. Silence fell over the room as Silver stared at his daughter's lifeless body. His mind could not process or accept what he had just seen.
Slowly, he dragged himself toward the limp form of his daughter and pushed his form up into a sitting position. Ignoring the pain that shot through his side and pulsed through his skull he pulled the small filly into his arms. A small smile spread across his face. "They're gone now Lilly. You can stop playing opossum." He said as he tried to choke back tears.
"Lilly......p-please wake up for daddy..." He pulled her in closer, holding her in a tight hug. "Lilly please, please wake up! d-don't leave me!" Tears were now pouring from his one good eye. He gently stroked his daughters mane. As he continued to sob he looked down at her now bruised and broken body." ....I-I'm sorry I'm so,so sorry!!!" Silver flung his head back and let out a loud yell all of his pain pouring into his cries as he held his daughter close to his chest.
