Hello, my name is Pick Lock I am a Pegasus who has never really settled down because of something will mention later, but I will just hurry up and tell you.
I was born in Detrot, I will be honest it was a bucking mess, rubble everywhere. My childhood was not that eventful apart from when I got my cutie mark, one day I was at school and me and one of my friends who's name was planet hopper (I know what you think she was not a fan of space she was a fan of machinery) we were going around her house and she said we should go and play hoofball but a bully came round and stole our ball and we were wondering why and we tried fighting back.
The Bullies took the ball and Planet Hopper ran after them and then I gave chase, suddenly more Bullies pop out and block me and theye push me and through there legs I see Planet Hopper knocked out and them carrying him off, I try to call out to her but the bullies cover my mouth and I try to do anything but nothing works and they over power me if I try to wiggle my way out but I give up and let them carry me wherever they take me, eventually we come to a set of train tracks and they tie me down with chains and padlock which I had no idea why they were carrying it but now I know why, they were planning on taking a life after they had locked the padlocks they retreated tof the side of the road and started acting innocent and calling for help, ponies fell for it.
I will be completely honest, I was absolutely terrified for my bloody life but my gut knew I could get out of this, I hear the train steaming towards me ponies screaming for someone to help but I manage to work one of the feathers off my wing into the lock and squeeze out of the chain and as soon as I get of the tracks the train zooms past.
that day changed my life because I got my cutie mark, it was a straightjacket with a padlock over it, at first I didn't know why I got a cutie mark like this but than it struck me "the train incident" I thought I would try something less dangerous, so I tried by hanging upside down of off the tallest building in detrot, you might think that is as dangerous as the train incident, but it is not because I am a Pegasus
Let's just say I got out okay.
So let's fast forward 7 years later I am now a 19 year old mare who spends her life doing incredibly dangerous stunts for the shock and awe of it. My life had reached a standstill until one day I got the mail delivered by Derpy who I greet everyday without fail because she was one of my Pen pal from ponyville and is the reason I now live in ponyville, but anyway back to the mail. I noticed something glowing in the pile of mail I had received so obviously I grabbed it and that is when I saw the address this had been posted from 'canterlot' and not to mention there was silk woven into the fabric. I stopped and gasped so I obviously wanted to know why a letter sent from canterlot to meme. I quickly open the letter not taking any notice of the envelope because be I just wanted to get to that gold at the end of this rainbow. When I had opened the letter I saw what it said
"Dear Ms Pick Lock
I would be amazed if you were able to come to my sister's birthday to perform a daring escape for her because she is going through a period where she loves danger acts and you are one of the bigger danger acts out there.
The party is a week from know so I am sending a chariot over to your house in ponyville and will also be alerting the medical staff in canterlot about your stunt
Yours sincerely
Princess Celestia"
To say the was shocked was an understatement, I was amazed with this so I got ready got my lucky lock that I kept from the train incident and waited for the chariot to arrive
A couple hours later I was at the castle with Princess Celestia and we were discussing my trick, "so what is your trick Pick Lock" Celestia asked me confusion plastering her face.
I said " there will be a sharp metal rod aimed my head, it has to be aimed at my temple as that is the weakest part of the skull to add to the drama and danger, it will be aimed there with a rotating gear that when it pushes hard enough against the trigger it will go off. While this happens I will be chained, padlock, manacled and blindfolded" I said I as I explained the trick out to Celestia so she could go and warn the medical staff about the danger involved in this trick.
I went to the mechanic to see if they could make the mechanical trigger I needed to get the trick down to also learn how long I would have to escape.
For the rest of that week I then proceeded to practice the mechanisms of the locks and the weight of the chains. Practice went so quick that soon after it was the princess's birthday and it was my time to shine, I walked slowly towards the castle slowing thinking out each of the steps of this escape in my mind full-well knowing that it could kill me if I was even slightly to slow.
At the princess's party I snuck past some of the party guests and found the stage I will be performing my stunt on, I set it up and waited for the time to be ready, I was just standing there when I heard Celestia say out loud "everypony thank you for coming to Luna's party it has been fun to see all of you and speak to a bunch of you, but anyway I am here to introducd the entertainment (and no it is not a band or anything like that it is Expert Escape artist Pick Lock." I heard all of the audence murmur and laugh at what I am guessing were jokes they were telling.
I got ready I delivered an introduction "mares and gentlecolts I am here today to show you my most dangerous trick I will ever attempt. I have a mechanism that will pull a trigger of the metal rod after 2 minutes I have those 2 minutes to escape leg manacles, 5 meters of heavy duty chain with 4 padlocks and and I will have to do that blindfolded. Oh and did I forget to mention the gun is aimed right at my temple and could easily kill me if I mess up."
I got into position I had the chains the padlocks and I was manacled and I was ready for the metal rod to be set for 2 minutes.
I heard Celestia say "GO" and I immediately started to work on the 5 meters of chain that were currently surrounding my body, they took about a minute to get off but now was the 2 pairs of manacles I managed to get out of them incredibly quickly. I started to move out of the way when I felt a hoove push on the back of my head and I noticed it was the bully from the train incident all those years ago and hewas trying to finish the job, "you were supposed to die from that train" he said as tears started to brim my eyes. I also noticed all the crowd was shocked to see this act happening but at the same time were not helping me. I heard the princesses gasp as I managed to lift my head up only for the rod to spear through my jaw and when I looked at the ground as I passed out I felt a breeze pass through the hole where my jaw was suppose to have been the last thing I heard was was the siren of an ambulance start up.
I woke up In the hospital a few weeks later and the first thing I heard was a metallic squeek which at first I thought was just a person in a bed next to me but there was no one in the room. My jaw dropped as soon as I recalled what happened and when my jaw dropped I heard that squeek again.
I put my hooves up to my jaw and my hooves connected with some cold hard steel, I shouted as loud as my voice would let me but it came out as a metallic screech a nurse rushed In and noticed I was awake and noticed i was sobbing very quietly.
I see the nurse come up to me and said to me "you have probably noticed the changes we had to make to your jaw after the accident" the waty she said accident she obviously hadn't been told about the situation she probably thought it was a suicide attempt "attempted murder more like" I said and she noticed the cold hard glare I gave her and immediately she said "I am sorry for anything that has happened to you."
From then on the life was ruined any filly that saw me cried and all their mums were angry at me which caused me run home crying myself to sleep not even someone as happy as pinkie pie makes me happy constantly trying to get to be happy and the more she just makes me cry.
I just don't know what to do.
But this is my life
