The Life of FrostBite
Chapter 2: Losing Memories, Bringing Nightmares
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI kept screaming, I was afraid of what the stallion would do to me. I hate the feeling of being hurt, I can't protect myself, and when I try to, I fail at it. Nothing happened, I had my eyes closed, so I couldn't really see what's going on. I opened my eyes, to see my father. He looks down at me and smiles, I'm happy to see him again, I feel m ore safe when I am around my family. I see my mom, and I run up to her, hugging her leg.
She had picked me up, and I looked at her. She was shaking with fear, and I started to get worried by it. I hated to see my family scared, I would want to cry every time I see that happen.
Mommy, what's happening!
"sweetie, all I need you to do is hide in my wings, and close your eyes okay?"
o-okay mommy
I always listen to my mom, okay maybe not as a younger filly, but ever since I was eight. I hid inside her wings, and shut my eyes, just thinking of good, and happy memories. The next thing I know is, I fell on the ground, I had opened my eyes to see my mother on the ground motionless. I ran up to her, just screaming.
MOMMY!
She didn't say anything, she just weakly looked up at me and smiled. I wanted to cry, my dad was nowhere to be seen, and all around me, ponies I know in the town are just...I don't want to describe what I had seen, just. They were killed, some of the fillies and colts were getting captured. I looked back at my mom and I started crying, I just couldn't stop crying, but she looked at me and wiped my tears. Her eyes closed and I held her tight, because my dad was gone, my mother was gone, and my brother is missing. I was all alone.
Soon enough, everything just went quiet, I heard hoof steps behind me, I was too scared to look back. I felt a hoof touch me and I look up at the stallion. He looks down at me and picks me up with his magic.
EEP! HEY!
"now. now little one, I won't hurt you"
let go of me!
"shush little one, everything will be okay"
I woke up in a cell, I was scared but don't remember a thing, I tried my best to remember anything, but it felt like I lost all my memories.
A stallion walked up to my cell door and smiled down at me. He opened the door up and just put chains on my hooves and pushed me out of the cell, I don't know what he would make me do, but what I had to do was just work, mining gems, but I could never do good work at it because I was too weak.
I usually go back to my cell every night with cuts, and a black eye. That was a punishment that Sombra made his soldiers do to us. I hated every bit of it, but if I were to complain. I would get the punishment again.

It has been two years and still, no one has come to save us, no even a sign of hope. I wanted to cry, to just leave this place. I talked to no one, didn't have any friends here. I didn't want to talk to anyone, but some of the guards just looked at me. Not with an angry face, disgusted look, just more like a worried look. I was the only one out of all the ponies that were put to work, that would just cry...
I remember going to the balcony of the crystal tower and just looking down, I quietly sneaked in without any pony seeing me, I am still surprised how I managed it. I closed my eyes and just. I wanted to jump but, being me, I was caught by a guard pony. Great...
"tell me, what are you doing here!"
n-nothing s-sir
"get back to your bed"
I did as I was told, but that doesn't make me stop hating this place. Then again, this is my home, because they ~~provide food~~...okay scratch that. They hardly provide food for us, but they do ~~provide water~~...forget that too. They really didn't give us anything, that's the reason why some of the ponies would die, either from starvation, dehydration, or both.

I woke up feeling terrible, my head was hurting and...everything is quiet. I didn't know why, but I wanted to find out.
why is everything so quiet today, jeez it feels like a ghost town...
I walked out of my room to find every pony working, and one guards sees me, and does nothing. He just walks away and I just had a smile on my face, because this would be the perfect time to escape. I just need to. OOF! I looked up to see a dark unicorn, his horn was black, but had red in it, his eyes were purple, but had this green smoke coming from them.
"Hello, little one. I decided to let you rest, after that little accident you had"
little accident?
"you don't remember?"
I-I don't...
"while mining some rocks, you fell over and bumped your little head"
o-oh I-
"go rest, I will wake you up soon"
I decided not to rest, but when I got out of all of their sights, I just ran. I was getting super close to the force field barrier thing, whatever it is called, can't say I fully remember this. The next thing I know is an alicorn is in front of me, but I wanted to scream, but she picked me up and put me on her back. I just smiled because I looked behind her and I saw just an army of bat ponies. I was just amazed, because the last time I seen this, was back at my ho-...yeah..I remember my home, it was destroyed,I didn't remember my family, or anything that relates to them. I started to cry again, but the alicorn spread out her wings and looked up at me.
"hold on tight, I wouldn't want you hurt"
I held on as tight as I can, but not to the point where I would choke her or anyway. I wasn't ever taught how to fly, which was sad to me because by now lots of ponies I know are starting to fly. I looked down, and I saw how high we were, I jumped back and I instantly started falling. I couldn't stop screaming until the alicorn had caught me. I hugged her tight and smiled, I didn't want to say it, but I couldn't remember who my real mom was.
thank you mommy!
"you're welcome sweetie"
I finally felt happy again, I felt safe, I felt...free. I didn't have to worry about any pony hurting me, I now have a pony to protect me again. Now, I was crying, not because I am sad. No, because I was happy. All this time of waiting, and help finally came. Not just for me, but for all the ponies that were getting hurt, and were feeling pain.
