A filly left behind

Intro/prologue – A filly left behind.

On a cold autumn evening, a mare gave birth to a small unicorn. They called her Lyh and both the mare and stallion were very happy about their tiny filly. Lyh had some lovely years together with her parents, they always played together. Even though Lyh was a small unicorn, her parents could see she was eager to use magic. From time to time small sparks glowed from the horn of Lyh.

Her parents were proud of their tiny filly they had brought to the world and every night when Lyh was going to sleep her father came and tucked her in, so she would lie comfortably. Lyh loved the smell in her father’s mane and always got a tight hug and a kiss on her forehead before she went to sleep, her father always watched over her until she did.

But sadly they knew that Lyh would not stay with them for much longer, they could not afford having her, so they had planned to abandon her near the gates of Ponyville, and they would do it 1 day after her 10Th birthday. Lyh has always been a happy filly, without a single worry in her mind. The small filly was outside playing with a few butterflies in the meadow. Her parents stood by the house and looked at the small filly having fun, still thinking of the day to come, when she would not be here anymore. Her mother began to cry and went out to Lyh, hugging her tightly. Lyh giggling made her mother cry even more, her father just stood and looked at them with tears in his eyes.

Then the day came, Lyh’s 10Th birthday, lyh was sneaking into the master bedroom and slowly climbed the bed and in-between her mother and father. Lyh felt the happiness grew inside her, and gently fell asleep. Hours had passed when Lyh’s mother woke up, and giggled at the filly who had been sneaking around. Gently she woke up the father, he opened his eyes slowly and accidentally laughed at the filly for coming into their beds, Lyh slowly woke up from the laughter, and looked her father in the eyes, she could still see him laughing. Lyh turned herself and looked at her smiling mother. Her mother nuzzled Lyh’s small mane, and helped her out of bed and told her if she would go out in the kitchen there would be a surprise for her in the fridge.

so Lyh headed towards the kithcen it was a cold morning, leaky windows made it as cold inside as it were outside, when she arrived at the kitchen she opened the fridge and it was almost hotter in there than outside of the fridge. But in there, in the middle shelf of the fridge a small cake was carefully placed with a plate. Lyh felt her happiness flow through her body and smiled widely at the cake, she took the cake and slowly walked back to her parents with the plate in her mouth. then she slowly broke the cake in three bits and tried to share the delightful cake with her parents, but when she offered it to them. They refused to take it and explained that it was only Lyh’s cake, and she should enjoy it. But Lyh responded by giggling at her father who tried to explain it to her, and she took the cake in her hoof and put a piece of cake in front of her mother and father, and refused to eat those bits.

Her mother was smiling and crying a little but hold back her tears , while she looked at the stubborn little filly and asked her what she wanted to spend the day on, and the filly responded i don't care what we are doing, as long as i am with you i am happy. Her father hugged her tightly while her mother went out of bed and went into the cold living room, slowly you could see tears roll down her cheeks. When she looks into that tiny filly’s eyes she regrets she have to abandon her but there is no way out.

That night Lyh’s mother came to tuck her in as she was going to bed, she spend hours reading her a bedtime story for the small filly. Slowly her eyelids closed and the mother was still sitting and looking at her small filly they had to leave, in sorrow she tucked her extra good in that night. the father stood in the door all the time, sniffing, and sobbed while looking at the mare with the filly. The father left them, while he thought about the reason for abandoning her only filly.

the reason is due to the lack of money, and with the fathers poor back he cannot work anymore, and her i did not matter if her mother worked she would not be able to make as much as her father did, and they’d still be starving, there has been many thoughts about this, they did not want their tiny filly to starve so they finally decided the filly would have it better if she where with another decent family

The early morning after Lyh’s birthday, her father and mother entered her room and gently put her into a cardboard box and put a picture of themselves, some bits and a couple of apples. Then they put the box onto a cart and her father was now slowly trotting towards the park of Ponyville, as he arrived at the gates to the park. He slowly opened the great gates to the park and walked inside with the cardboard box with Lyh inside it. The father found a good place, a green bench in the shadows of the huge tree in the middle of the park. With tears he walked slowly away without looking back at the box as he went through gate.
