The Marine...

"Top of the morning to ya" I said "My name is Peyton, Peyton Maine, I'm from Dublin, Ireland and a Major in the United States Marine Corps. and I'm on a train that's taking me to my new house in Equstria. There's allot you don't know about me so I think I should start with the biggest thing..." I paused for a moment and said "Believe it or not, I'm 250 years old my birth day was March 4, 1762...I know what your thinking 'No way! That's impossible!' and all that, well let me explain." I again paused for a moment looking out the clean window of the train as we passed the wide open plains of Equstria  "When I was 13, me and my family were driven from our home in Ireland and moved to America during the American Revolution, we lived in a small house not to far from Boston. One night there was a knock at the door...

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* "I wonder who that could be, its rather late..." My father said.* When he opened the door, my life changed forever... "You are under arrest! For betraying the crown!" Said the British captain as he and his men stormed the house. "Peyton! Run! RUN!" My mother screamed to me. I jumped out the open window and ran as fast as I could..."You two! AFTER HIM!" Yelled the captain, and soon enough two of his men ran after me...  As I was running down the road in the cold night, suddenly I was pulled behind a tree by another pony "Shhhhhhhh..." He said "Don't make a sound." "HE WENT THIS WAY COME ON!" One of the British soldiers yelled as they passed us.   It was my fathers friend James, he was part of the continental army massing near Boston.  "Come with me" Said James "What's going on?!" I said as I was trying to prevent myself from crying. "I'll explain everything when we get back to camp" James said After we walked for about an hour or so we arrived at camp, I sat down in front of the fire and James got me a drink of water  *"Alright listen, your father is a spy for the continental army and somepony must have ratted him out."

"What...what about my mother?!" "They dont know whether or not your mother is a spy or not, why do you think they chased you? Just for fun?" James said as he grinned a little "What are they gonna do to them?!" I screamed "Keep your voice down! Do you want to bring the entire British army to us?!" Another continental soldier said sitting across from us. "He's just confused..."James replied "Listen...Peyton, I'm afraid they're gonna..." James paused looking at me as my eyes expanded. "no...No...NO!" I said as I ran off "Peyton wait!" James said but it was too late, I was already gone   I ran and ran as if I were being chased by bulls then...I saw them....  I looked at the burning house and saw no body's, I thought they had taken them...I was wrong...On my favorite apple tree there were two ropes, on these two ropes I saw my mother and my father were hanged..."BAAAAAASTAAARDSSSS!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I fell to my knees and cried. James caught up with me and saw what I saw. "Peyton...I'm sorry..." I opened my eyes, turned and looked at James and said: "Give me a gun, bullets, and powder, I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!" "I understand your rage right now but we have to go. Don't worry, we'll find that captain, and we'll give you the honor to avenge your parents." That was like music to my ears as James said that "I'll rip is god damn heart out..." I thought to myself as we walked away.
