scootaloo: knight of shadows
prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterPonyville, a peaceful town where ponies of all kinds live together in peace and harmony with out a care and all with a happy smile on their faces in the early morning. However in a home at the edge of town and close to white tale woods lives an eighteen year old Pegasus filly who was not in a good mood as the other ponies out side, she was now waking up from her sleep and felt a bit annoyed, she has orange fur, an unkempt purple mane and tail and purple eyes, her name, is scootaloo.
Scootaloo went to her bathroom for a shower and after 20 minutes she came out in her usual clothing, a dark purple short sleeve shirt, dark grey jeans, and black shoes. She went down stairs of her two story house and into her kitchen to get breakfast, as she ate she looked around her home to distract herself, her kitchen has the basics of every other kitchen , a sink ,stove, oven, and a microwave, she also has a counter with three seats so that guest can eat and see what is happening in the kitchen. Her living room has two chairs and a coach with a coffee table in the middle of the room and a flat screen tv.
Finished with breakfast scootaloo went outside and locked her door before leaving towards town, as she goes through the streets she looked around, trying to get her annoyed feeling out of her mind, as she walks she picked up on the town gossip of the day, apparently there has been disappearance of random ponies who were found dead last night, not wanting to dwell on such gossip scootaloo went to the one place she could go to cheer up. She looks ahead and sees her destination, it was a rounded building with a purple roof that looks like a circus tent, it has fancy decorations on the outside giving it a bit of high class appearance, scootaloo went ahead in since this building was a store and home, a clothing store to be exact.
After the bell over the entrance jingled a lady like voice from a nearby room announced the usual welcoming " welcome to rarity's carousel boutique, where all things at-oh, hello.scootaloo dear" rarity said stopping her business greeting once she realised who had entered her boutique, rarity is a white unicorn with an indigo mane and tail styled in fancy curls, she has blue eyes with long eyelashes, she wears a black dress shirt and black tight pants, and black high heels, she looks like she could be twenty-four.
"Hey rarity is sweetie belle up yet" scootaloo greeted back wondering if her friend was awake or not
"I believe she is taking a shower, she should be done any moment so go ahead and have a seat" rarity offered as she went into the kitchen, as she left scootaloo went to set on one of the couches and relaxed for a few minuets, but her relaxing was cut short when rarity screamed from the kitchen, worried for the classy mare scootaloo bolted to the kitchen to see what is happening, when she entered she sees rarity and a earth pony stallion who looks about in his early thirties she never seen before, he was dark brown with greasy green mane and tail, and brown eyes, in his right hand held a knife, it was then that scootaloo understood why rarity screamed.
"Alright lady, give me the money and no one gets hurt" the thug said in a gruff voice.
"The only one getting hurt is you if you don't get away from her" scootaloo threatened,makeing her self known to the stallion.
"Heh, funny now since your here might as well give me your cash too, unless you want to spend the night in the hospital" he said trying to be intimidating as he points his knife at scootaloo.
"Scootaloo, don't get involve you'll only get in danger" rarity warned not taking her eyes off the brute that had came through her back door, "I will pay you but leave her alone" she pleaded, not wanting to get the younger mare hurt
"I won't hurt her as long as I get that money, now get it" he demanded.
Rarity walked to where she keeps her emergency money, as she did the stallion kept his eyes on her incase she tried anything suspicious, as he does that he never saw scootaloo move up to him, when he saw movement in the corner of his eye he looked to investigate, but as soon as he turned his head he got a face full of an orange fist, not expecting an attack the stallion was off balance and fell flat on his back, the knife dropped a few inches away from him.
"I told you you'd be the only one hurt" scootaloo stated mockingly as she looks down on thug, this only angered him more than he already was, he stood up and got ready to fight, but then he saw the look in her eyes and it made him freeze in surprise and fear.
"Impoasiple you can't be" was all he said disbelievingly before he ran out of the building as fast as he can like his life depended on it.
"I can't believe what I saw, a stallion like him being scared off like that from one punch" rarity said, not believing what she saw, when she heard the sound of something hitting the floor she turned around worried that it was scootaloo, only to be proven wrong when she saw the thug on the ground and scootaloo perfectly fine.
"What can I say, he was wimpyer than he looks" scootaloo said with a cocky smile, which made rarity roll her eyes, before anything could be said a third mare came into the room.
She is a white unicorn mare who looks to be eighteen, a few inches under scootaloo's shoulders,has light purple mane and tail with a dark pink streak running through them, her eyes are a dark green, her attire is a dark pink dress, purple skirt, and white shoes with pink laces.
"Hey sis, is everything alright I thought I hear something crashing" she wondered, not noticing scootaloo yet
"Oh, hello sweetie belle, and everything is fine, nothing to worry about" rarity lied not wanting to worry her younger sister
"Yeah, it's all cool here" scootaloo added in, sweetie belle jumped at her voice not expecting someone else here
"Oh, hey scoots what are you doing here?" sweetie belle asked as she got herself composed from her small shock.
"I just came down to see if you wanted to hang out, just the two of us like the old days" scootaloo replied.
"I was going out any way so sure" sweetie belle said as she headed out to the door which scootaloo following close behind
"I expect to see you home before it gets too dark, you have school in the morning" rarity reminded the younger teen as the two of them walked into town.
And so the two friends enjoyed themselves as they did various things, went through the park, played some arcade games, and other fun things two teen mares enjoyed, by the the time they returned to the boutique it just turned night and the two friends were saying their farewells.
"Sure you don't want to spend the night scoots, even with some psycho on the loose".sweetie wondered with concern in her eyes.
"It will be ok sweets, I can handle myself fine, goodnight" scootaloo assured as she started to leave for home.
"Night scootaloo, see you at school tomorrow" sweetie said as she waved her friend goodbye before going inside for the night.
As scootaloo walked through the town home she heard yelling in a nearby ally way, as she walked into the ally she shortly sees two ponies, one a thirty looking mare, who scootaloo guessed by the look of fear in her eyes, and the other a stallion.
"I see you decided to pick on another mare today since you couldn't finish business with rarity" scootaloo stated as she stares down on the stallion, for this stallion was the same thug she saw at the boutique, when he turned around his eyes widened in fear. The mare sees this as a chance to escape and ran out of the ally, not bothering to look back to see the other mare.
"What do you want " the stallion asked, backing up away from the mare he encountered earlier
"I just thought I'd tie some loose ends, can't let big mouths telling my secret you know" scootaloo said as she walked towards the shaking stallion, he turned around to run away but was stopped instantly, once he turned around the last thing he saw was two horrifying things of the mare that suddenly has him, the first were her crimson slitted eyes, and the second was a pair of fangs before the sunk into his neck, when he felt them he screamed in fear and pain, that was the last sound to ever leave his mouth before he went silent, permanently.
