Chapters A large, older earth stallion and a Pegasus mare held the front door closed, as a mob of ponies try to break through; the bangs of the crazed ponies are almost loud enough to drown out their yells for entry,
With tears in the stallion's eyes, he yells for his son.
"Rush!"
A young, light gray stallion runs to his father from his little sister, Blush's, room
"Yes, father!"
"I need you to take Blush and run, run as far as you can!"
Rush, with tears in his eyes, starts to plead with his father on finding another way, but his father just ignored his pleas and yelled for him to get Blush and get out. Rush turned around and tried to hold back his tears now running down his face as he ran to his little sister's room. Right as he entered, he saw a pony break the window. The pony glared at Rush but then turned to see Blush crying in the corner
"Come here y'all little shits. I don’t wonta' hurt y'all now," the pony snarled as he started to climb through the shattered window as Rush ran to his sister.
"Blush, get up," Rush said as he tugged her with his head. "Blush, get the hell up!"
The small Philly with tears running down her cheeks shakingly stood up and started to run with her brother, but the pony from the window got in front of them and he blocked the door
"Y'all aren't goin' nowhere!" he yelled, but Rush turned and yelled as loud as he could, "go to hell." He then bucked him as hard as he could with his hind legs. Upon impact, there was a loud crack from the pony's jaw and teeth breaking. The pony stumbled back on his hind legs, with blood running from his mouth, and hit the back of his head on the corner of the wall. He fell with a loud thump as Rush and his sister ran past
They both stopped and stared into the room where their parents fought the intruders. In front of them was their now dead and desecrated mother's bloody body that had been stabbed several times in the side with the dagger still embedded in her neck
Blush cried as she nuzzled the side of her head on her mother's untouched cheek. Rush turned to his father as he fought the ponies as if he was going to help, but he knew he couldn't do anything
Rush forced himself to get Blush and run out the back door into the safety of the tall corn fields, but were stopped by the loud yell from their father. As they turned, they saw vaguely through the brush into the window that their father had a pitch fork driven through his back. Blush stared, paralyzed by the thud of her father's body hitting the ground. Rush turned his head as he saw the murderer stand on his hind leg with the pitch fork in his mouth, before coming down with the crunch of the pitch fork piercing their father's body. Tearfully, Blush watched, never looking away from the horror; she was too young to even imagine
She was startled by her brother as he tugged her ear, trying to get her follow him
She hesitated before starting to run with him. Suddenly, she started to realize that Rush seemed farther and farther away. She wanted to scream his name, but she couldn't even make single sound
Suddenly, she was hit by an unknown force and it went dark
The sweating mare awoke with a jump, breathing like she just trotted across Equstria. She looked around the room with fear in her eyes, as if the room itself was a creature that wanted her soul, but nothing was there. With her eyes closed for what felt like hours, she did nothing but sit in silence before she got up and stepped out of bed
She put her hoof up to her face and closed her eyes. She told herself it was just a dream, but she knew it wasn't a dream, but a painful memory
They had been going on for a long time, not consistent; they happen two out of five nights, and she remembered the doctor saying that she might have some bad dreams or unwanted thoughts after what happened. She was beaten and raped by two stallions that caught her on her way back to her house at night three weeks ago
She was stopped by a weird feeling, which quickly turned to sickness
She ran to the bathroom and started throwing up, the thought of it made her sick, but she never threw up
She suddenly startled as a knock came from the front door. She looked to the window and realized it was morning
She gathered herself and went down the stairs, but stopped at the front of the door, then cautiously opening the door
"Good morning," said a blond manned Pegasus mare as she handed over the letter but stopped right before she handed them over. "You know it took me a bit to find you, are you new here?!"
Blush felt an uneasy feeling go up her back as the question was asked by the cross-eyed pony, it was good she didn't know who she was, the only time she came outside was to get groceries, and even then she did it when no-pony was around
Blush really didn't know how to answer, so she tried lying, but couldn't get her mouth to move
"That's ok, you don't have to say anything if you don't want." The cross-eyed pony handed Blush the letter and smiled, "Bye, then." Then she flew off
Blush closed the door and looked at the letter like it was an alien. She examined every detail before opening it
Dear Sis
I know it's been a long time since we have seen each other or even talked for that matter, but the circus is going to be coming to Ponyville and I was wondering if you would like to catch up with me when we get there? You don't have to reply, but if you want to see me, meet me at the back of the tent, and don't worry, I will understand if you don't show up, but I heard what happened to you, and I wanted to see you and know you are okay to know if your were okay, but I couldn't send a letter till now, and the mail mare said it will take about three days for you to get this. I miss you sis and hope you're okay. You and I are the only ones left of the Auqina family.
Here's 1,000 BITS, the circus has been bringing a lot of business lately. Sorry it's not straight to your bank account, but the town we're in has no bank, it feels strange.
Sincerely with love,
Rush
Blush dropped the letter and began to cry. She didn't know if she wanted to see her brother after all this time, he hurt her more than anypony could; he left her when she depended on him
The tears of pain felt endless, and it felt good to get it out every now and then, but every time she looked down, they only made it worse. She hated her tears; they were the root of so much suffering
She closed her eyes and thought to herself about the burdened curse of her tears, she thought about her family that was destroyed by the gift of growing
Blush eventually stopped crying and went to her kitchen. She felt hungry and didn't want to go another day without eating, she couldn’t understand this sudden extreme hunger, but stopped and looked down as she remembered why she hadn't eaten anything for the past two days; she didn't have any food left
She frowned at the thought of going outside, even to get food at the market
Blush stood at the door with her bags settled on her back, each bag had a slightly faded wrench patch, hoof stitched
She slowly opened the door, and took a step out
She jumped up, due to wind slamming the door behind her
Once she unclenched her eyes, she brought her eyes up to see there was a larger pony in front of her, it registered that he was a light brown colt with brown main and tail
"Are you okay ma'm?" he said with a smile on his face
Blush shied her face down with a blush of embarrassment on her face
He looked at her for a second, "Don't be shy"
But she couldn't even look him in the eyes, so she backed up and said, "I.. I'm," she stuttered
"I'm Doctor Whooves, nice to meet you," the stallion said as he reached his hoof out
But she shook her head, "I'm Bl..." she stopped herself and before she could say anything else, she backed up even more and ran down the street
I can't trust him or anypony else, she thought
She had a quick flash of them being friends, she even wondered if he was alone also
She blushed at the thought of somepony being close to her and clinched her eyes closed
THUMP!
Blush hit something and bounced back onto the floor
"HEY, WATCH IT!"
Blush shook her head and looked up to see who she ran into to see a light green unicorn mare and and a cream colored earth mare . . .
TO BE CONTIUED
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is my first time writing a Fan/FIM-Fiction and I hope you all like it. I'm always writing grim, dark poetry, so I hope you like this. I'm also going to put one of my original poems on the bottom of every chapter, so here
-No More-
I am no more for my life has been darkened, my face is staring to the sky, my heart is cold, my mind is blank. I am dead. My dreams gone and no one to relate or to even call close, so I have gone without being known. I am nothing more, just gone, so let me fade away without a trace.
A light green unicorn mare was standing over her with a slight annoyed look, but she started laughing as a cream colored mare tickled the green one's ear with her snout
"Stop it, Bon"
The cream colored one giggled and turned to Blush, and as she did, the slight bulge on her stomach became more visible. She was un-mistakably pregnant
"Hi there, I'm Bon-Bon and this is my partner Lyra, are you okay? You seemed to be in a rush... and also I've never seen you before"
“Oh! I’m so very sorry I didn’t mean to run into you ma’m, I’m Blu… I’m Blush” she stopped as soon as she felt this over whelming sick feeling come over her
"What’s wrong Hun?" Bon-Bon said with concern
Blush suddenly threw up, before collapsing from using up what little energy she had left from the run and as soon as she did Bon-Bon gasped as she noticed that she only threw up stomach acid and saliva, Bon-Bon immediately got next to her and helped her up, Bon-Bon knew exactly what was wrong, and so did Lyra... sort of
"Don’t just stand there!" Bon-Bon said glaring at Lyra
Lyra got on the other side of Blush and helped, Blush tried to say that she didn’t want help but instead she gurgled words before blacking out
"BLUSH, GET THE HELL UP!" Rush yelled as he stood over her and locking eyes with the mare who tackled her
Blush nearly jumped out of her fur from the yell, she shakingly got back up and got behind her brother, trying to find some protection from the attacker before them
the green mare gave Rush a look of pity and discus, "I don’t want any of this sweaty, but ya’ll both know that everypony here is going to lose their crop if that little one don’t help us none"
Rush stood firm and look at the green mare with a look of pure hurt "I’m sorry, but she is not no tool fur ya’ll to use fur yur own gain"
the green mare chuckled a little before she spoke "I knew ya’ll new pony folk were special the instant I saw ya’ll, but once I found out that your ma was from the Auqina tribe, well that’s when I got curies and what do you know, after a week of being here your little sis there gets the pure-water mark and ya’ll already know how that is a mark that heals wounds and an even has a better effect on plants" the green mare took a step toward us and we took a step back
"please leave us alone, we never hurt anypony" Blush said with a tear full look on her face, Rush looked to Blush and then back to the green mare and before Rush could say anything, the green mares eyes got wide as a single tear fell from Blush's face
"DONT WASTE THEM!" the green mare yelled as she lunged at Blush with full force
but Rush turned and bucked her with all his might and as soon as his hooves touched the ground, he said "LETS GO!"
Blush heard her older brother command and did exactly as he said, they trotted for about an hour before they stopped to take a breath in the grass
Blush put her head down on a smooth rock under the tree, she tried to keep her eyes open, but they as soon as they closed, she was out
Blush slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a room she had never been in before, she jumped out of the bed she was laying in, but collapsed as soon as the images of the dream she had, flooded her mind
the bedroom door suddenly opened and Lyra interred levitating some fresh carrot soup above her head, but stopped as soon as she saw Blush lying on the floor, she put the soup on the coffee table next to the bed and kneeled down to help
Blush glared at Lyra, "I don’t need help…”
Lyra gave a concerned look, “Yes you do, you don’t expect us to just let you go hungry, especially since your preg….” Lyra stopped and remembered that Bon-Bon said not to say a word about Blush being Pregnant, but Blush heard enough to know what she was about to say and just sat there with a terrified expression on her face
Bon-Bon walked in to the room to see Lyra with her hooves to her mouth and sitting next Blush, who had tears now running freely down her cheeks
“Lyra, I told you not to say anything?” Bon-Bon said in a low, but still excited voice
“This can’t be happening, why me, why now” Blush said as she looked at the puddle of tears on the floor
Bon-Bon walked over to Blush and sat next to her, she looked to Lyra and motioned her hoof to the door, Lyra got the hint and left, closing the door behind her, as soon as the door closed Bon-Bon turned her head back to Blush “It’s ok, being pregnant isn’t that, bad is it?”
Blush turned her head to Bon-Bons bulging stomach and then looked at her own “I don’t even know who the father is”
Bon-Bon stared in shock and tried not to say anything, but she couldn’t hold back “How do you not even know who your own mate is, or… do you… sleep around”
Blush started to cry again as she began to spit out her words “I was… raped”
Bon-Bon had turned pale and hugged Blush, “it’s going to be fine, I promise that Lyra and I will be right her by your side all the way”
Blush pulled back as she realized the position she is in, she felt confused, she had always felt that everypony she met would try and use her, maybe they were going to trick her into trusting them and strike when she least expected it “But you just met me and know almost nothing about me, but your still going to stretch your hooves out to help”
Bon-Bon smiled and just nodded
Blush hugged Bon-Bon realizing that she could be right about them, but she won’t make it far with out support
TO BE CONTINUED…
Authors Note: Sorry everypony I have changed my mind on putting poems at the end of every chapter, also I want to apologize for this chapter taking so long, I had to rewrite it because it didn’t save when I hit the save button and logged out, so I think I’m going to use Microsoft Word from now on, and last but not least, I will only work on this on Saturdays from now on because I don’t have computer access any more during the week.
Blush got up and looked to Bon-Bon, "I really need to go."
Bon-Bon looked at the soup on the counter and looked back to Blush, "But aren’t you going to eat something?"
Blush looked at the soup, "oh, yea that’s right, I should eat something, but still, I really need to be going."
Bon-Bon stood up and put her hoof on the back of Blush's neck "What’s wrong, Hun?"
Blush turned her head to the floor, *sigh* "Its nothing..."
Bon-Bon smiled, "when you want to talk more, I’m here."
When Blush heard her say that, she didn’t know what to do
Bon-Bon walked to the door and looked back at Blush, "your bags are over their." she said as she pointed her hoof
Blush went to say something but she stopped herself
Bon-Bon left the room and could be heard going down the stairs
Blush finished packing her bags and settling them on herself
She walked down stairs and was immediately greeted with Lyra hugging her
"I hope you come back,” Lyra says in a friendly and concerned way
Blush still didn’t fully understand what she was feeling she still didn’t trust them, she knew they meant well but...
Bon-Bon started to get antsier as the hug lasted
Lyra pulled away and was ambushed with a new hug from Bon-Bon
Lyra chuckled a little, "Getting jealous are we?"
Bon-Bon Blushed, "No, I just felt like hugging my mate"
Bon-Bon pulled away from the hug and kissed Lyra on the cheek
When they looked forward Blush had already left
"Wow! She didn’t even say goodbye!" Bon-Bon yelled before storming up stairs
Lyra gave her no thought and walks to the wide open door and closed her eyes, "Celestia help you confused mind" and closed the door slowly with a sigh
Blush stopped as soon as she got out of sight of the Heartstring's house and closed her eyes before taking a deep breath opening her eyes to see the same brown colt she ran into yesterday
"Hello there, I never got to give you this because you ran off yesterday..."
He reached his hoof out and revealed a black hair bow
Blush's heart started to beat fast as she saw the bow, "H.. How did you...?"
"How I got it is a secret, but I believe it is yours, unless you don’t want it" the brown colt started to pull back
"NO!!!" Blush snatched the bow from his hoof and put it in her hair on the right side
She looked down, "sorry, I didn’t mean to yell"
"Your just like your mother"
To that Blush’s head shot up and he was gone
What, what happened to him, he vanished, and their is no way he walked away that fast, he would have made a crunching noise every time he put his hoof down on the gravely road
She stood there for about five more minutes before she just decided to dismiss it and went on home.
"Blush, its time to get up Hun" Said a soft voice
"Five more minutes" said a tired filly Blush
"Come on sis, we need to go, or do I have to use theeEE FETHER " Rush began to tickle her on the neck, which forced the filly to giggle and laugh
He stopped and gave a smirk, "ready to get up now or do you still need five minutes"
"I'm up, I’m up" Blush stood up, still in a daze of just waking up she asked Rush "what is mom making for breakfast?"
Rush just froze "Blush don’t you . . ."
Blush gasped "oh.... ya..." she began to tear up
Rush hugged Blush as she began to cry "shhh its ok, Hey, Blush it’s going to be ok, all we need to do is find a way to Manehatten, that’s were Uncle Void and Del, live"
"They did, so we will go to them for help” Rush said confidently as he let go of the hug, Rush finally noticed that the sun had started to rise, and looked at Blush
Blush began to wipe the tears from her face, "Bu... But how will we find them?"
Rush gave Blush a smile, "We will worry about that when we get their"
Blush lowered her head, "ok"
"But how will we get to Manehatten, its so far away
Rush stopped and began to think about it, and realized that Blush couldn’t walk all the way there or fly for that matter
Rush smiled as an idea popped into his head, "Well, all we need to do is get a ride from one of the trading wagons, they go to Manehatten right after here"
Blush looked at her brother with concern, "You mean the ones with those black striped ponies, that Dad always got food that we couldn’t grow, because its from far away?"
Rush had an even bigger grin as he realized that his plan is fool proof "Their called Zebra's, Blush"
"But they won’t let just anypony ride with them, will they?" Blush said
Rush didn’t even reply, but instead just started walking, and Blush followed without question
One hour later we were at the caravan, the entire walk their was hard on me and Rush kept quite the entire time, it was very awkward, lucky thing was that when we got their they were about to leave and were happy to take us in for their next stop, they were very kind and I would have a lot of fun playing with the caravan leaders daughter Zacora, she would teach me some things about potions that her mom trained her with, We traveled for a week with the Zebra caravan, and we finally got to the out skirts of Manehatten, We had no idea where to go, but we had hope, and Rush tried his best to find the home of our friends, but we had no luck, it was hard for me to stay in one spot do to all of the city being like an alien, our family never went any where near cities or any place with large numbers of ponies for that mater, but our stay was about to become a hell, and our hope was about to break like a wine glass hitting a brick wall.
To be continued...
Authors note: sorry this took me so long, I have been caught up in a lot of Bull Crap at home, but the next chapter will start off with the present, just so none of you ponies out their get confused
