Fallout Equestria: A Heart Full of Bullets
Chapter 6: The Monster Inside Me.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe gasped for air, our training session, coming to a close. After breakfast, I took Appleseed outside for training and well after ten hours, we were about to collapse. Appleseed was a quick learner, for the most part, she wasn't very strong, so she couldn't wear a battle saddle, but she could hold a small pistol. She was really smart, and even for me, fast. Of course the only thing she said after I had asked was,
"Ah got it from mah sister," and all I could do was agree,
Now here we were, ending our session with a full on attack from yours truly,
"Y...you just gonna...just gonna stand there...or...or are yah going to...going to fight," Appleseed challenged, I had to stop this or else she was going to pass out,
"N...nope...you...you win," she looked surprised,
"I...I do," I nodded, and released a small smile.
She gasped at first than the most deafening sound I heard rang through my ears. It wasn't until I realized it was her scream, that something bad was happening. I felt myself being smacked in the ribs by something metal, making me groan in pain and collapse onto my side. My vision blurred as I tried to find Appleseed, who was still screaming, but now I could hear my name and than a cackling laugh from above me,
"HAHAHA, didn't think I'd get the drop on you ghosty boo, HAHAHA, OH WILL YOU SHUT HER UP ALREADY," the voice yelled, a loud SMACK followed, and the screaming stopped, replaced by a quiet whimpering.
Fortunately, this made my vision clear and I got good look at the pony on top of me. The raider had a red mohawk mane and had a couple of piercings in his nose and bottom lip, the color of his mane going with his scarred, beige, body,
"Oh, so surprised to be jumped by us, hmmmm, or is it that you care for that filly so much that you got distracted, lets find out-" he gripped my head with his hooves and forced me to look at a horrible sight, "-hit her," the pony on top of Appleseed brought his hoof up and slammed it into her face, making her groan,
I squirmed, trying to get free, at first, than I remembered the hidden revolver, under my cloak. I squirmed a bit more, just able to get my revolver free. I looked at the pony on Appleseed, he had a pair of wire cutters to Appleseed's throat. There was only one way I was going to get her home,
"Hit her again, Meatstorm," he slammed his hoof into her again, this time her stomach,
The pony on top of me grinned and leaned in,
"Why don't we see what happens when you split a small filly in her lower area, shall we. Meatstorm, go ahead, you know what to do," I felt something in me snap,
I pulled the gun free and fired all six rounds into Meatstorm's body, killing him, probably with the first bullet,
"YOU SON OF BITCH," the pony spit on my and kicked the gun out of my reach, struggling to hold me down as he did so.
I felt my blood go red hot, but my body was still weak from whatever I did before all of this. I screamed at him, throwing as much force as I could to throw him off,
"I KILL YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" I screamed, no longer in control.
He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out except a screech of pain. He fell on to his side and screamed again, I in the, mean time, stood up. He stopped screaming and started to crawl away, a blood trail following behind him. At first, I had wondered why, but that thought bypassed as I saw the wire cutters,
PERFECT I smiled a toothy grin and edged my way towards him, he tried to crawl faster, but it was to late.
I took hold of the wire cutters, than felt a pair of eyes looking at me. I turned my head and remembered the filly that was apart of this. I grit my teeth together, some control coming back,
"Kid...go wait...in the house,"
"But,"
"GO INSIDE NOW!" I ordered, no longer in control.
I turned my head back to the dying raider, my magic still gripping the wire cutters. I heard the door close to my home. I gave another grin earning a sentence from the...the...thing,
"Ple...please make it quick," he begged,
"Oh but why should I, you always thought it was funny watching a pony get raped and tortured," I asked him, my voice sounding more evil,
w-what's going on, I can still see, but I can't...hrgn...move,
"Please, don't...wait PLEASE-"
my magic gripped the handle tightly,
"-NO, PLEASE, PLEASE," I laughed maniacally,
"Oh but I want to...and I'm going to," and than there was a loud screech, as I ripped out the wire cutters,
I slowly put the bloody metal to his screaming mouth,
"Shhshhshh, don't make me cut out your tongue and break out your teeth," he closed his mouth and started to whisper,
"Please, please, please, please," over and over,
"That's better," I told him, raising the cutters up high,
no, stop...why can't I stop my own-
"NO...WAIT," I brought them down as hard as I could into his shoulder,
He screamed as I ripped the cutters out again, some blood flying out of the wound and landing on my chest. I watched myself drive the weapon in and out of him, blood spilling on to me. Even as his screams died down, I kept stabbing his corpse, every ounce of blood flying on to me. By the time I had come back to my senses, it was raining. The blood had already dried into a black crust.
why didn't I stop myself, I started at the corpse, it no longer looked like a pony, just a furry, red, mess. I felt tears start to crawl down my face.
I rose the cutters and brought them down one final time. Now I knew there was something in me, something that would destroy the innocent. I would have to learn how to control it, before I did something I would regret even more. I pulled the wire cutters from the corpse and threw them as far as I could, the corpse soon followed.
-------------------------
I stared at the door of my home, a probably scared filly on the other side. I looked from the door to myself, hopefully, Appleseed would think it was mud,
yeah, if she isn't scared, a voice added,
I sighed, -lets get this over with-and slowly pushed the door open.
I poked my head in and looked around, the only light on happened to be the "radio room?" I believe Appleseed called it. I could just make out two voices, one of them being Appleseed. I felt myself almost collapse, she was telling her sister,
"Okay, don't jump into conclusions, for all you know, they could be catching up," I was right, for Appleseed stepped out of the room and turned my way,
Her expression changed when she saw me,
"Hey, it's just mud kid, you don't have to be scared," I lied, and she had the right to be scared,
"No, i-it's not that...your cloak...did you take it off," I soon realized what she meant as I looked behind me at my navy blue fur instead of my cloak,
I turned to face her with a small blush in my cheeks,
"I can't really keep it from you that I feel...naked," and she collapsed of laughter,
"Oh haha really funny, now if you'll excuse me I've gotta go clean up," I started to walk away when the laughing stopped,
"Wait, mah sister wants to talk to you," I sighed as I changed direction,
This was going to be a long talk.
