One dark stormy night, RedVelvet, heard a loud clashing noise come from behind her cottage. She quietly got out of bed with a slight blur in her eyes. Red lightly knocked on her roommate's door; no one answered. She pushed the door open slowly to see a pool of dark liquid seeping through the closet door.
"M-Mocha?" She approached the door and stopped right at the edge of the blood. Her long darkened wing stretched out and moved the closet door open, a white dark hoof flies out making Red jump backwards and fall down on her back. The closet door swings open and a loud thud hits the cottage. She quickly looks up and her face fills with horror.
"Mocha!!" She stammers to her four hooves and panickly looks down at her friend, Vanilla Mocha, laying on the ground dead. Mocha's head has dark red scars all down her pure white cheeks. The ends of Mocha's coffee brown mane drenched in blood, while her cutie mark seems to be missing and has a giant X instead of a star. Her back gushes out liquid due to the deeply carved symbol of a star that is there.
Red starts to cry and recieve tunnel vision. Her dirty blonde ocean blue dyed hair blows with the wind from the opened window. Red screams a blood curling scream. Running out the cottage door, she starts yelling for help.
-
It's been a week since she was murdered. I still remember her body like it was yesterday, it will scar my eyes forever..
"Mel!"
"Coming Fallout!" I run out of my room and see Fallout's foal, Shimmer, running with me.
"Hi Mel!" Her little wings flutter happily and her eyes turn an almost neon green.
"Hi sweetie." I let her jump on my back and we run downstairs to Fallout. I trip on the last step and completely fall out but kept Shimmer safe in my wings,
"Do it again! Do it again!" She lightly flies not even an inch off the ground before going back down.
"I think that's enough excitement for one morning Dear." Fallout pulls Shimmer over to him with his good sized wings. His brown mane curls at their ends and a vibrant streak of yellow pops out. His grey t-shirt and shorts cover most of his off white coat color. His brown eyes with hints of forest green catch my ice blue ones, causing me to get up quickly.
"Sorry about the commotion this morning Fallout~!"
He smirks and lightly chuckles, "It's completely fine, I don't think Pinkie would've done anything differently." Pinkie Pie is Fallout's wife, and Shimmer is Pinkie's little pink haired successor in the baking industry, or at least Shimmer tries to be. Shimmer prefers to beat limits of galloping and how long she can stay in the air. I look up at the clock in their cottage kitchen and my eyes widen,
"Rarity is going to kill me!" I scurry around and grab my satchel.
"Rarity? What are you doing at that-"
"Fallout." I motion towards Shimmer. He looks down at his little foal, whom is right beside him, and smiles nervously. He clears his throat and looks back up at me,
"What are you doing at her place?"
"She wants to give me a dress over, get my mind off things. Which confuses me because Mocha had a strong hatred towards her.."
"Why?"
"At Mocha's Vanilla Villa Café, she became too much of a perfectionist."
He laughs and Shimmer looks around at us confused,
"Daddy, where's mommy?" As soon as Shimmer says "mommy", Pinkie bounces through the door,
"Someone say mommy?!" Shimmer smiles and goes to hug Pinkie.
"Hey Melly Belly!!" Pinkie looks at me with a wide smile and puffs confetti at me. I cough and laugh,
"Hello Pinkie. Sorry for leaving now, but I must!" I wave my hoof and start to gallop towards Rarity's boutique.
As I run through the main roads of PonyVille, I see Derpy handing everyone apology muffins in a cute wood woven basket. Then I run into a tall Cult. I fall backwards,
"Oofph...sorry!" I quickly stand to my hooves.
"Great whickering stallions! Are you quite alright miss?" The cult has a dark brown coat and mane, with sky blue eyes and a cutie mark resembling a sand timer. His accent is quite British.
"Uhm..yes, I'm fine!"
"Good good, now if you'll please excuse me, Derpy is in desperate need of my help. Alomzy!" He trots over to his friend in need.
I keep my way down PonyVille square and finally arrive to the boutique. I knock on her door and walk in,
"Rarity?"
"Oh Darling, come in, come in! I just finished a client's tie." Rarity points at this tall purple dragon with a red tie around his neck,
"That's very well done Rarity~" As Rarity starts to open her mouth the dragon talks,
"Oh I know, I know. She really just is so good. It's Steven Magnet by the way, and you must be...?"
"Red-"
"Oh yes of course, I remember those spots from anywhere, RedVelvet Melody." I tilt my head,
"I thought you-"
"Didn't know you? Darling please, everyone knows you. Your cow pattern is the only one in town." He chuckles and the white spots on my ears turn a light red/pink. Rarity's eyes widen and she starts to push Steven put of her boutique,
"Why don't you go along Steven darling, I'll catch up with you later~!" She pushes him out the door completely. Rarity quickly trots over to me,
"Red, Darling, please take a seat.~" She levitates a chair for me to sit on, I sit down steaming. She brushed out my mane,
"That dragon is going to get on the last of my nerves." She laughs and sighs,
"Let's just be glad he didn't trigger your Irish temper Red~!" She puts my mane into a pony tail,
"You should really do your mane more like this Red, it brings your colored mane parts." Knocking echoes through the boutique; Rarity mummers to herself,
"I wasn't expecting another pony until 30 minutes or so....um...come in..!" Shimmer comes bursting through the doors,
"Mel! Mel!" I get up off the chair and she hides herself under my wings,
"Whoa whoa, what's wrong little one?" I look under my wing,
"Mommy is dead!" My eyes widen and I look over at Rarity who quickly heads towards town.
"Shimmer, get on." She flies onto my back and I gallop out of the door and take off into the air so I can get to the house as fast as possible. As I look down for a place to land I see a shine of gold, knights. I land beside Fallout and give him Shimmer.
"Shimmer! Don't run off like that again!" Fallout looks down at her sternly and she hides under his wing whimpering. His face falls into a light smile as he kisses her head.
I slowly walk to the murder scene. Pinkie floats off the ground with a bloody necklace of rope around her neck. Her pastel pink coat is covered with dark red splotches and her hair is straight and dripping of water. I walk around the thick pool of blood, her cutie mark is missing. I fly up for a closer look at her back, a deep carving of balloons with blood slowly gushing out of it.
A flash back of Mocha's murder scene comes to me making me gasp and start galloping towards Twi's castle. Could this be the same murderer or just a coincidence? Why would somepony steal pony's cutie marks? All these questions fly threw my head as I suddenly black out and brush my face agaisnt dirt.
