Runaway Rainbow
Chapter 3 - Why?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash woke up to the sound of maniacal laughter and screams. She tried to jump up on all fours but when she did she fell back down and hurt herself. She was chained up to the wall.
What the hay is going on! One second I'm looking for Soarin with Spitfire, and now I'm here?!? she thought to herself.
Just then, she heard a door open, a groan, and a slam of a metal door. Yet another groan came from the cell next to her. The cyan made honestly didn't care what condition she was in at the moment, she wanted to see who was in the cell next to her. But before she could, her own cell door opened and something grabbed hold of her. It was a caramel coloured hoof. She thought of all the possibilities of who this strange pony could be. And then it hit her.
"Hoops?" She curiously asked whilst being dragged across the stone cold floor. The stony floor was stained with blood, how had these guys not been caught yet? Well, at least she thought there was more than one pony behind this.
He stopped at a dark brown, wooden door and opened it and then threw her into the room, where she no doubt supposed to be. She landed with an "Oof" and a slight crack but apart from that she was completely fine. Suddenly, she heard hoofsteps approaching her.
"Hello, Rainbow Crash...Miss me much?" said a male voice, despite it being a bit higher pitched than a normal stallions voice.
Rainbow instantly recognised that voice. An old enemy of her's from flight school,
"Dumbbell?" Rainbow Dash asked curiously, knowing that it was the real him.
He laughed alone, then uncovered himself from the darkness. It was actually him. The real him. He had the same chocolate brown coat, light blonde mane that flopped over his light blue eyes, and dumbbell cutie mark was exactly the same.
The brown coated stallion's laugh died down until he eventually spoke up and said,
"So you do remember me...It sure is nice to see you again...Now I will get the chance to finally get rid of you and your pathetic coltfriend!"
Rainbow stared at the insane stallion, head tilted sideways and a confused expression upon her face which then turned into anger.
"For one thing, he's not my coltfriend! We're just friends okay! And secondly, why are you doing this to us! Is it because in flight school when you asked me out I rejected you!?" Dumbbell blushed at what she just said, he remembered that time when he got rejected by her, then the cyan made continued, "Or is it because when I won the best fliers competition I went with the wonderbolts instead of you and your friends! We could have hung out some other time!"
Dumbbell ignored the last part of her sentence, and continued his plan. The next thing was to torture her. He approached the cyan mare and held up his large hoof to her innocent face. He brought his hoof back and then threw it towards her. When it collided with her face, she let out a large scream of pain. He continued this until her cheek started to bleed. Lucky for her, Rainbow was a strong, confident young mare, but this was really getting to her.
After slapping her so many times, he decided he would go even further and punch her. The stallion punched decided that it was a good idea to get payback, and started to punch her in the stomach. The mare's cheeks suddenly got bigger, as if she was about to throw up. Just then, she got punched in the throat and vomited all over the floor. But she wasn't fully knocked out yet.
Just as she thought she was prepared for more, she passed out and fell to the stony ground. Before she was fully out, she heard Dumbbell say, "Bring her back to her cell, and clean this up!" the last thing she heard was a recognisable voice that said, "Oh, so I'm now the guy who has to clean up the vomit! I though that was basketball butts job!" then she was out for good, the sound of ringing through her mind.

When she woke up, she found herself back in her cell and chained up once again. She groaned, knowing that she would probably my be there for a long time. She wondered how long she had been out for. She assumed it would have been at least one night. Rainbow wondered to herself what her friends were doing right now, whether they were worrying about her or had not even noticed her sudden disappearance. How much she longed to see her friends once again...
***
Back in Ponyville, Rainbow's friends had gathered at the place of Twilight's old, now burnt, library, but seen as the castle library wasn't as private as they wanted it to be, she decided the five of them should meet there at early dawn, because hardly anypony was up at that time, even the ponies who sell things at the morning market weren't up at this time of day.
They were worried sick for the welfare of there dear friend, as she was the one that kept them all together. Every one of the five of them loved everything about her, from her personality to her amazing flying abilities, they were all loved her to bits.
Pinkie's hair was deflated, Applejacks hat was over her face as she tried her best to keep her tears in, Rarity and Fluttershy were sobbing heavily onto each others shoulders, and Twilight and Spike were embraced in a tight hug, as even Spike missed her.
They just wondered where she was now...
