Daylights fall
The first step
Previous ChapterEclipse dragged her hooves up the stairs towards her house, she was still wondering how to explain the bullying to her mother. As she was about to open the door she heard yelling. Not from any pony but her parents! She furiously swung open the door and rushed in only to be met with three white pegasi in glittering gold armour. GoldenRay was pushed against a wall, her horn glowed the colour of the sun as she attempted to push away the attackers.
"Mum!" Eclipse wailed "What's happening?"
"Eclipse run!" GoldenRay cried
The large alicorn kicked a guard across the room with tremendous force. He coughed up blood, the kick to the chest would be fatal. He collapsed against the wall, struggling to crawl away when finally he went limp.
"In the name of the princess we order you to surrender and come with us!" The white Pegasus with a deep blue mane growled
"Never!" GoldenRay yelled, waving her front hooves attempting to kick out
"Then we will use more demanding forces!" He cried as he slammed forward into the alicorn. His swift kick was aimed at her neck, leaving little time for defence. GoldenRay spluttered, a deathly cry echoed through the house. As the collapsed she was able to give a final counter attack, raising her horn she plunged it into her attackers eye. Weakly pulling away, blood poured down from her horn splattering her own face with it. The guard let out a scream of rage before he swung down and hit Eclipses mother right in the face, causing her to drop down on the floor. "Blizzard, kill her!" The guard demanded clutching his eye with his hooves. Blizzard started at the dying pony, she was covered in blood.
"Eclipse...." Her mother gasped
"M-Mum!" Eclipse wailed, she was about to rush forward however Goldenrays continued to speak
"Run fast. Run far"
"I'm not leaving you..."
"I-I love you..."
Blizzard glanced over at his captain, Thunder, he hesitated and took a deep breath before he delivered the fatal blow upon the injured pony. A spine tingling crunch filled the room as bones snapped leaving the mangled corpse scrunched up on the floor.
Blizzards eyes flickered with regret, he had just killed a pony, not just any pony but a mother trying to defend her child. The family was in ruins as the father was also dead leaving only the filly.
"Now, now" Thunder choked "What to do, what to do with this filly over here..."
Eclipse was crying in the corner, she was shaking and was barley able to stand "Y-You..." She stuttered; shock had over taken her and she struggled to even get the words out.
"Come on now, don't be shy!" Thunder teased, whipping some of the blood off his face, his left eye was punctured and the blood was uncontrollably bleeding; the crimson splodges covered his once pearly white fur
"N-no!" Eclipse cried.
"No? Well then young filly we may need to take you by force then!" The large pony started to slowly walk towards the shaking pony, his face was torn into a wide, twisted smile. Eclipse took one last look at her mothers corpse, blood was spilling out from her gashed wounds. That body was no longer recognisable as her mother. "I-im sorry" She whispered before turning away from the murder scene and sprinted away. She could never return there, as the haunting image of the murder and the blood trembling voice of that pony was burned into her mind, forever...
" Run little pony run! You cant hide forever.
I will hunt you down until I catch you...
And Kill you..."
