Spilled the Beans

The siblings were thrown into a dark room that had one window but no ceiling or wall lights. They groaned and rubbed their heads in pain. The only lighting in the room was just from outside and shining through the window.

"Where are we?" Fireball asked as she moved her head from side to side and up and down in anger and fear.

"How did they know that it was us?" Caramel whispered with confusion. The door opened and the cloaked ponies walked with a bucket of water then stood in front of them. "Alright, we don't know who you are or what you want but why did you just abduct us right there?"

They didn't give a response and threw the bucket of water onto the siblings and the hair dye all washed away, revealing their natural hair colours.

"Ha, ha! We knew it! We've finally got you!" one of the cloaked ponies yelled and the other two sighed with annoyance.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Fireball asked with fear and confusion. She tilted her head to the side with a frown.

"Little brat, we've been looking for you ever since the day you were born. Thank goodness we have or the boss would kick us on the rears."

"Why were you told to capture her anyway?" Honey asked with a frown and she gritted her teeth.

The cloaked ponies didn't say anything and just left the room.

"How are we to escape this?" Cinnamon asked with anger and fear.

Fireball looked around for anything that could get them out of the dark and cold room. She couldn't see anything that could help, all she saw were blankets or sacks of barley. There was nothing like a hammer to smash the window but it probably wasn't a good idea as that would draw the attention of their captors.

"I hate it here!" Honey yelled in disgust and boredom then she fell to the ground. She muffled her screams of anger with her hooves with Cinnamon and Caramel rolling their eyes in annoyance.

"Please stop complaining already!" Caramel yelled back and she sighed with frustration. "If you hadn't galloped away from us in the forest then we wouldn't have had this problem and encountered those cloaked ponies."

"If you didn't yell at me because I was going to say that Cinnamon has a crush on Fireball is true, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble!"

The room went silent and Fireball looked at Cinnamon with a surprised expression while Caramel gave a 'Why did you say that' look to Honey.

"So you two have known the whole time?" Cinnamon asked the two angered mares.

"Of course, your looks to her don't hide it too well." Honey responded with a sad smile and she gave a side glance to Fireball.

"We did try a few times to have you two alone but they failed." Caramel said with a sad and regretful voice.

"Like the time you took us to the bakery, you went off to help with the baking and left Fireball and me at the table."

The two mares nodded slowly, they sighed and hung their heads in shame. The door was knocked very loudly by what seemed like two pairs of forelegs and they shouted for the siblings to be quiet and go to sleep. They all grabbed the old blankets and sacks of barley and laid them out onto the hard, cold, stone ground. Fireball wrapped the blanket around herself very tightly and wondered about what the hay had just happened.

Author's Note

Sorry for this chapter being short. I wanted to end the chapter like this and I'll try and get the next one a bit longer.
