Scars and Stripes

    "So, honey, you'll be watching over the kids, okay?" Rainbow Shine confirmed as the teen pegasus rolled her eyes with a small nod.

      "When are you coming back? You know how much I hate being home alone, mom," Rainbow Dash stated, looking back to her five sisters.

   Neon wrestled with her twin sister, Scarlet who had a red scar across her eye due to an accident as a filly. She would secretly sneak out of second period of school to avoid a bully who teased her for her seeing problem.

      Rainbow Dash sighed, as she closed the door behind her mother, and in an instant, her heart stopped. This has not been the first time she had foalsitted her sisters.

     Her older brother Rainbow Blitz once lived in her parent's house, but ended up living with her dad in Las Pegasus. Ever since then, Rainbow was depressed, and moved to Ponyville.

    Oxygen came back to her once again, as she slumped against the dining table. This was gonna be a long day. Just as the thought left, a cider glass cracked in kitchen. Rainbow Dash grunted, as she dragged herself to the kitchen.

"Zapp, let it go!" One of the fillies shouted. Zapp growled, and tugged the object in hoof to her side.

"No, I found it first!" She shouted back at her sister. She opened her mouth and hissed, tackling the other filly to the floor, hard on her head. She dug a fang into her cheek, and ran out the room to cover her tracks. Mast as Rainbow came in, in fact. She gasped at the scene before her.

   "Vengeance shall be mine!" The bleeding filly cried out, tears  stained on her face mixed in blood.

     Nightfall came, as their mother was on her way home. Rainbow had taken her injured little sister, Flash, to the hospital in secret, worried to loose her mother's trust.

      Rainbow Dash's 14 year old sister gave her a helping hoof also, as the doorbell rang. Scarlet was first to get the door, looking up to the drowsy mare.

     She trotted past her welcoming children, and as she reached the stairs, sped up, and slammed her bedroom door.

     "What the hay was that about?" Zapp complained as she held her head up, and made way to the kitchen. She swung open the cabinet door full if dripping pipes and spiders, curling up under the drain.

     "Time for bed fillies. Storm Rage, take them to the restroom. Please..." Rainbow Dash commanded as her teen aged sister saluted and sent four fillies upstairs.

    Zapp emerged the cabinet, spreading her bat wings. She tossed her rainbow mane, trotting upstairs as well. Rainbow, now alone downstairs, collected five empty glasses of milk and fetched a carton of milk.

     She sensed something... Unusual. She felt as if something wasn't right. This feeling always came to her, but she felt a different sense this time. She shivered of the thought, as she looked down to find a massive milk puddle on the counter.

      The girls hadn't heard from their mother since she left that day. She locked her bedroom door, and the room was in complete silence.

    The injured filly, Crowne, was first to finish brushing her teeth. She slipped through the door, past her big sister's hooves, towards the hallway.

      She put an ear against her mom's door, and sobbed. Only the sound of moaning and groaning was heard from inside, but then, it stopped.

"M-mom?" Was all she could say before blacking out and let out a blood curdling cry.

"Did ya hear something?" The multicolored pegasus asked. Storm rolled her eyes, continuing to brush her mane.

"Dash, you're hearing things. Now get some rest and be quiet." She commanded pointing to the hallway.

     Crowne felt tense, and trapped. Once she was unblinded, her eyes opened. It was a lightly lit room that looked familiar to her. A figure emerged from the shadows, as the filly's nerves calmed.

"Oh, mom, you almost had me there. Could you let me out, please?" She asked.

"Oh, I'll let you out alright. Once I'm done with ya," She then his an object behind her back.

"Mom, I'm tired, can we play tomorrow?" Crowne asked with pure innocence. Her mother only smirked, then hit a hoof on a button. Buzzes and clanks were heard as the tied up pony struggled to be freed.

    "THIS ISN'T FUNNY! L-LET ME GO!" she cried, as the ropes on her tightened. Her ribs began to sore and her throat pained. She flapped her wings only to find that they were nailed to the wall.

      "You will have plenty of rest, my dear." Rainbow Shine whispered, as she made way to Crowne's wings. She cried out, as Shine wrapped a cloth around her muzzle. The ropes tightened, as one of her ribs cracked, and she bawled, tears stained the rope.

     The mother of the filly took out a blade she held behind her back, and in the other hoof, she pulled on the small wings. She gently sliced through the wingbone, and wiped up blood that dripped on her hoof.

     She nailed the wing back to the bloodstained wall, and repeated with the next. She looked at her work and smiled. Tossing the blade back to the bed, she hit the button again, buzzes and clanks heard again as the ropes wrapped the filly's throat.

      "Mmhy! Meh mee MAH!" she cried, as she attempted to free her wings. She tugged at it, as one ripped off the nails and blood sprayed into her face. She only whimpered and hind her head. Her screams stopped, the buzzing and clanking, the sound of silence then took place. Rainbow Shine released the filly, stuffing her body into her closet.

"Rest well, my sweet,"

    "Stormy, dude, where's my suitcase?" Rainbow Dash complained. She only shoved the rainbow made.

"Ugh, please. Why in Equestria would I take your dumb toy box,"

"For the last time, IT'S A SUITCASE!!" she hollered, slapping Storm's cheek. She screamed, tossing herself to the floor holding her wound.

"S-storm I'm so... So sorry, I... I didn't m-mean to.. Let me help y-" Rainbow felt something warm on her cheek, as she pressed a hoof on it, then to remove and find blood. She looked to her sister, who graded her angrily.

"I think you've helped enough."
