P.O.V.: Broken Heart

Time: it's the afternoon that's all I know

Weather: raining

Date: no not interested

We get to Sunset’s house without any problems which does not surprise me.
Her house isn't too impressive a normal looking house is what it is.

As I park the car Sunset puts her hand on my shoulder and looks at me.

“You wait here I'll go grab my stuff.” she says

“I would like to help if you'll allow it but if it is what you wish I will stay in the car.” I say as she gets out of the car and heads for the door of her house.

As soon as she enters her house I connect my phone to the car via bluetooth and press start on my favorites playlist.

The first song is by DAGames and it is called As The Lights Go Out. Not one of the normal fast tempo songs by him but a good song nonetheless.

The song is halfway done before I see Sunset carrying a box with a journal on top. I get out and open the trunk to the car.

“Thanks.” she says as she puts the box in the trunk taking the journal off the box.

“Your welcome. Is that all?” I say.

Sunset replies “Yes I am leaving the furniture, dishes and stuff that cannot be taken here because considering I add m no longer renting the place I just needed to grab what did not come with the place.”

I raise an eyebrow in slight confusion.

“I called the people who I was renting the house from after lunch and told them I was moving out.” she states.

“So it seems.” I reply back.

We get back in the car after closing the trunk and head to my house just outside Canterlot.

It's not a big house it has two floors a basement and three bedrooms, two of which are unused ninety percent of the time, one bathroom a kitchen/dining area and the main room.

After I get the car parked, turn off the music, and disconnect my phone from my car I go to unlock the door to my house.

“Take the car key and use it to unlock the trunk.” I say to Sunset as I head over to the rose bush where I've hid my house key since the death of Rose.

I will not cry not in front of Shimmer or anyone else. I think to myself as I stick my hand through the thd bunch of branches and grab the key from the center of the mass.

“I will come back outside to- OH MY CELESTIA WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOU YOUR HAND?!?” I hear Sunset scream as I just taken my now bloody arm holding the key

“My rose bush is sentient and eats the key to my house when I am not here.” I say jokingly.

Sunset then asks “I think you're joking but you never joke.”

“It was indeed a joke and my rose bush is not evil I just hide my key in the center.” I reply.

“Doesn't that hurt getting your hand bloodied up like that?” She asks with concern.

“You get used to it.” I say clearly not answering the question.

“That doesn't answer the question.” she remarks.

“I realize that.” I reply as I walk to the door and unlock it.

I open the door to reveal the main room and kitchen in the same state they are always in, clean but unorganized in any way, shape, or form.

“Sweet Celestia you are really disorganized.” Sunset remarks as we enter the house.

I shrug “I can find my stuff so I'm not complaining.”

She then looks over in the kitchen… Where I accidentally left my knife on the counter… With some slightly dried blood.

Uh oh. I think as she notices the knife.

“May I ask why there is a bloody knife on the kitchen counter?” she asks as she looks at me.

“I invited Trixie over for a long talk about illusions and she accidentally cut herself attempting to make the knife disappear?” I reply.

“You and Trixie can barely go past each other in the hall without a fight breaking out between you two what in Tartarus makes you think that I believe you two would do any sort of activity outside of school?” Sunset says.

She isn't wrong we do hate each other because I believe illusions to be stupid and she wishes to master the art so hatred was inevitable.

“Let me see your arms.” Sunset demands.

It was at this moment I became paler than Rarity. I also head to the couch to sit down. Sunset follows.

“W-what did y-you ask?” I ask know damn well what she just said.

Sunset then grabs my arm and pulls the sleeve up on jacket to reveal marks on my wrist from where I cut myself. I did not do so this morning I did so last night though so th he cut from last night is on the other arm.

Sunset looks me in the eyes “How long have you been doing this?”

“ The better part of two years.” I reply not missing a beat.

She then proceeds to pull out her phone.

“Whoa whoa who are you calling?” I ask knowing that no one trusts her.

“Twilight, not the princess the human one she might have some insight on why you are doing this” she responds as makes a call.

To be honest I forgot about human Twilight I don't know her very well but considering that Sunset and human Twilight were together at the start of the Anon-a-Miss fiasco it makes sense for her to know Sunset is innocent however they broke up two weeks ago due to reasons I neither care about nor do I want to know.

“Hey Twi can come out to Broken's house we need your help with something…. Great see you soon.” I hear Sunset say as she hangs up.

“I must know how does Twilight know where I live.” I ask.

“Remember that time you drove your motorcycle to school when your car was in the shop?” Sunset asks me with a nervous smile.

“You mean two months ago on Friday when I was being followed and I attempted to lose them in town but they ended up following me going and then going past my house? Yes I remember that.” I say

“Well before me and Twilight broke up we wanted to know who was driving the bike so Twilight decided she would drive and when we found out you drove it we were curious as to where you lived and if Twilight hadn't been driving we would've lost you.” she explains.

“And it would've worked better if you hadn't made so easy to determine where you were going.” I hear from the door.

Sunset and I look at the door to see Twilight close the door and adjust her glasses.

“Well that is two people that know where I live anyone else I should know about?” I ask.

They both shake their heads no. Which is a good thing considering I would prefer if the whole school thought when I wasn't at school or otherwise somewhere in Canterlot that I fall off the face of the Earth as I don't like most of those people.

“So what is it that you need help with homework, science, mad science…” Twilight starts but Sunset interrupts.

“We need your help with Broken he appears to have been cutting himself.”

“...”

Silence is never good as I have noticed but maybe…

“I think we need to talk and figure out why.”

...and now my hope for something not involving discussing why I cut myself is completely ruined.

“I was afraid of this.” I say

I sigh “It all started the weekend before the Friendship Games….”

Time: Sunday the day before the Friendship Games, 2 years ago

P.O.V.: Musical Medley, Broken Heart’s former name

I was at the local Canterlot Bank with Rose Thorn as were going to buy a house with the bits my parents left me after they “mysteriously disappeared” we had found a house just outside Canterlot that looked decent. We had been there an hour at this point.

As soon as we got to the front desk before we could even say anything we heard a man's voice.

“GET ON THE GROUND ALL OF YOU!” everyone proceeded to get on the ground and cower in fear, I was shaking.

I counted eighteen civilians, two of which were me and Rose, two workers, and five bank robbers.

One robber is blonde, short, and lanky he appears to be carrying an M1, the second one has an afro he is carrying Desert Eagle .50 cal, the third was taller than the blonde but shorter than the afro his hair was short and dyed a dark green he was dual wielding .44 Magnums, the fourth was the same height as the blonde but had black hair and was chubby he was carrying a drill, the fifth had no hair and was buff he literally looked like a combination of a rat and an ogre his head looked the most rat-like and his tail seemed prehensile as it was carrying a switchblade his hands had claws as long as my arm.

“HAND OVER ANY AND ALL VALUABLE ITEMS YOU HAVE!” I remember the robber with blond hair yelling while the chubby one went to the vaults to grab the money.

Good thing we left our valuables with Flash. I thought.

It was then that my brain told me to make an excuse, I looked at Rose and she seemed to understand.

“Excuse me oh great and powerful bank robbers my boyfriend needs to piss can you let him do that?” Rose asks in her usual beautiful voice with a hint of sarcasm.

The blonde robber then says “Seriously!?!” he then looks at the robber with an afro, who looks to be the leader “This happens every fucking time.”

The man with the afro shrugs and says “We can't exactly predict when people have to piss, Derrick you take him to the restrooms.”

The guy with the revolvers comes over and yanks me up while he follows me but as soon as we get out of earshot of the others he pushes me against the wall and hands me something.

“I am on your side kid I’m afraid this is mine and their last job as I know your phone is in the pocket of the flannel that you are wearing under your jacket. I can't do this anymore killing innocent people after robberies…” he shakes his head “here take this it's dangerous to fight unarmed.”

I look at what he gave me.

“A Bowie Knife?” I ask in almost disbelief.

He nods in confirmation. It was at this moment I heard screams and gunshots.

Derrick then basically forcefully makes me stab him in the gut I could feel the blade cutting through his insides.

He finally says, or rather sings, after a coughing fit “This is the last and final straw so take my hand man...” he finally falls off the blade onto the ground.

I then hear a familiar scream of terror and a single gunshot. Rose had died. My vision turns red and the bloodbath begins.

I run in silently just in time for me to see the light leave Rose's eyes. The music of my life stops there. Time stops I hear my heart beat.

Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.

It was then I became Broken Heart. It was then my life ended I was reborn. Musical Medley died, Broken Heart was born.

I lunged at the blonde robber. As soon as my blade makes contact pain flares in my left knee. I don't care. I slash wildly cutting out the blondes eyes and leaving many slashes in his abdomen I gut him swiftly then I lunge at the robber with the afro doing the same to him.

I see the rat ogre monster thing looking at me with an intense stare

“0gre no like you killing friends.” it says in a deep squeaking voice with as slight growl.

“I don't like killing innocent people and just so you know I am Broken Heart your slayer.” I say in a voice so cold even the devil would piss his pants.

“0gre is called 0gre and 0gre think you gonna lose.” the thing now known as 0gre responds.

We fight for well over an hour 0gre's green blood and my blood spilt in many places throughout the bank his claws have ripped the skin off my left arm and the muscles only holding on by the tendon.

During this time someone called the cops because I had just chopped the head off of the beast known as 0gre when the cops finally showed up.

Time: present day (or night), Friday

P.O.V: Broken Heart

“... And that is my story.” I finish

Sunset and Twilight have their jaws open so wide that a whale could fit and still have room to swim freely.

“Any questions?” I ask.

Sunset snaps out of her trance first “I figure you weng to a hospital so how did that go?”

“I woke up a week later with a slight headache and an urge to fuck the nurse who was standing over me wiping my face with a washcloth.” I answer.

“First of to much information and secondly what about your knee and arm they appear be in perfect shape.” Twilight asked.

“Princess Twilight somehow got word of my incident and sent some healing potions plus the therapy I went through helped.” I answer.

“And before you ask the bank let me have the house on account I killed some highly dangerous criminals so I now use the money my parents left me to buy what need.” I state knowing that they would ask.

“Actually we weren't going to ask that…” Twilight and Sunset say in unison.

Oh maybe my gut was wrong.

“Well I am tired and feel like hitting the hay.” I say as I notice the sun is gone and the moon has taken its place.

“Whelp I have to go see you round.” Twilight says as she leaves.

“So what's the plan for tomorrow chief?” Sunset asks me.

“Easy I wake up and buy some food from the store after breakfast. Also don't call me chief.” I say as I head to my room for the night.

“Alright then.” she says as she heads up to her room.

I get up the next morning feeling different than normal. Instead of feeling empty inside I feel happy. I look outside to see the sun is just rising and that it is no longer raining.

“Whelp I better get breakfast started.” I say to myself.

I open the door to my room, forgetting that Sunset was here, in only my boxers I walk to the kitchen where I smell eggs and hashbrowns.

It was at this moment I heard Sunset suddenly scream in surprise as she looks over from the pan in which she is using to cook the eggs.

“Good m-morning Broken.” she stammers with a blush.

“Good morning Sunset, I forgot you were here.” I say embarrassed about my forgetfulness.

“I will be right back.” I say as I head back to my room to put on some clothes.

I come back down stairs now wearing black pants and a black t-shirt with a flaming music note placed about where my heart is.

“Sorry about earlier I am used to living alone so I forgot you were here.” I say as I grab a plate and put a hashbrown on it as well as some of the eggs that Sunset had just finished.

“Don't worry about it I did not see your dick so I am okay, just try not to forget again.” she responds.

We eat in peace so I am not going to mention that again.

“Alright I’m heading out I will be back as soon as I get done buying food for the next week.” I say as I put my plate in the dishwasher.

“I will attempt to organize this house of yours while you're gone.” she says as I walk out the door.

I hope she's joking because everything is where I can find it currently. I think to myself as I make my way to my car.

I get in the car and make my way to the grocery store.

I walk in the grocery store and notice how packed with people. I grumble as I grab a shopping cart.

I go to the produce section first. As I was grabbing some tomatoes I see Twilight walking towards me.

“Hey Broken, could I talk to you for a moment.” she asks as I put the tomatoes in the cart.

“I suppose I could spare a moment.” I say turn to face her.

“I got a text from Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy last night saying that they'd like to talk to you and Sunset.” she said.

I reply coldly “I don't want to speak to them.”

Twilight responds back “Can you give them a chance to explain why they acted the way they did?”

I think for a moment then reply colder still “Tell them this I will talk with Sunset when I get back to my place if she agrees then tomorrow you will bring them to my place then we'll talk.”

Twilight nods then walks off possibly sensing my irritation.

I spend the rest of my time there getting food items.

After I pay for everything and put the items in the trunk I hear what appears to be crying coming from an alleyway near where I parked. I decide to check it despite the fact this could possibly result in my death.

I walk into the dark alley and peer into the darkness where I see a woman huddled up at the end crying.

“Excuse me, miss are you alright?” I ask as I step closer.

“No, I’m not alright.” she says while sobbing “I have been spat upon and beaten down since the day Twilight absorbed the magic from those girls.”

I raise an eyebrow and ask “Who are you?”

“I am Midnight Sparkle.” she responds
