Chapter 3 Vengful noise
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRazor sighed heavily as he flipped his mask up. He panted a little as he wiped the sweat off his brow. He was currently working on a rapier made of titanium. This one wasn't for a battle because the metal was too light. This was for a collector who wanted an old fashioned prance rapier. It was a little difficult to make; because he hardly had a collector ordering from him. Especially one with a specific sword type. He had to get up early that morning to begin making the sword. He also had to use a mold he made only for rapiers. He soon began to polish the rapier and fashion it's handle. It had a domed hilt with a spiral handle. Typical for the old fashioned rapiers of early prance. He took a quick look at the clock; he had about an hour until school started. He didn't waste any time getting himself ready for school.
Cool mint and Wintergreen waited just outside the school. Both of them were still angry at that bastard Razor. For the last two days he made both of them look like such idiots. They had to get that freak back. They had to make that retard pay. At the moment Wintergreen was keeping an eye out for him. While Cool mint was reading a book about autistic ponies. Not because he wanted to understand ponies on the autism spectrum. But, because they wanted to learn how to set them off.
“Hmm, interesting.” Cool mint commented.
Wintergreen looked at him, “Find something?” he asked.
Cool mint answered, “Apparently certain sounds or images can set an autistic pony off. Most of the time the reaction is violent.” He looked up at his friend and saw a devious smile on his face. When they looked again they saw their prey walking towards the school. They took a quick look at their schedules for today. The first class was with Fluttershy. The perfect place to set their trap and get some payback.
Fluttershy waited eagerly for her students to enter her classroom. Yesterday, she had to miss a day of school. But, it was a real emergency; her bear friend had fallen asleep on top of a rabbit burrow. Although, she knew how stubborn he was. She wasn't going to let him trap her rabbit friends in their own home. At first she tried using his favorite food, Fish. But, he managed to ignore it. She tried reasoning with him; only to have him snore loudly at her. Unfortunately, that left her with only one final option. Her stare! Although she really didn't like using it; she knew being able to do something like that would come in handy. She sighed and continued to wait for her students. Thankfully, she did not have to wait to long.
Her door opened and one by one her students walked in. Each of them greeting her before sitting at their desks. She took notice of the new student Twilight had informed her about. She was happy to see a new face in her class. The bell rang and her class started. She was very excited for today. Because, she had a very special surprise for her students. She could hear them all talking to one another; she looked to her desk and nodded. On the desk stood one of her woodpecker friends; it tweeted happily. Before it rapidly tapped her desk. Not only silencing everyone; but also also causing everyone to look at her.
“Good morning class.” Fluttershy greeted happily.
“Good morning. Professor, Fluttershy.” All of them greeted back.
Fluttershy smiled as she checked to see if everyone was present. When she was done; she looked up at her new student, “I see we have a new student with us today,” She said happily while some of her students groaned a little, “I'm Professor, Fluttershy. What's your name?” She asked.
“Razor edge,” He replied, “Nice to meet you.” He finished his voice sounding as caring as Maud's.
Fluttershy nodded her head happily; before her gaze shifted to all of the class, “Now, I have some very important guests visiting our class today,” She informed causing everyone to look at each other. She smiled happily, “Everyone let me introduce you all to my bird friends.” She finished just as many birds entered her classroom from an open window.
The class were in awe at the number of birds that entered her classroom. Some of them laughed while other hid themselves in fear. Smolder looked at them all in wonder; the only birds she knew of were roc's. Predatory birds that fed on young dragons during the molt. So to see a large number of smaller ones. Including those of different colors. Well it surprised her greatly. Then, with a small whistle the birds descended upon the desks.
A bluejay had landed on Razor's desk; it looked at him and tweeted happily, “You're feathers are blue,” Razor began, “I hate blue.” He finished.
Everyone looked at him with looks of disgust. They could have sworn they saw the bird frowning. It also looked like it was about to shed a tear. Before, it flew off and landed back on Fluttershy's desk. The bird earned itself a few gentle pats on the head. It smiled and flew off to meet another student.
“Yona, no like new student,” Yona whispered to Silverstream, “Don't think he belongs in this school.” She finished.
Silverstream nodded in agreement, “He's so rude,” She commented while another in their class turned towards them, “I still can't believe he wasn't expelled for what he brought to school on Monday.” She added while Yona nodded.
“What did he bring?” Asked their classmate.
Cool mint quickly answered, “He brought a knife to school and attacked me and Wintergreen.”
“He did what!?” Another student asked in shock.
As the students whispered amongst themselves; Razor had used his magic to pull out his journal. He set it on his desk and opened to a page with a half drawn sword. As he began to draw he payed little attention to his classmates around him. Some of them were amazed at how detailed his drawings were. While others worried about his odd obsession with swords. Was it healthy for a colt that young to be interested in weapons? Yes, weapons are apart of every creatures in Equestria's history. But, now in their time. It was just odd to them to see somepony with a weapon obsession. Especially, with a single type of weapon.
Another rapid series of taps drew their attention back to Fluttershy. While the birds flew to various perches that were set up behind her desk. The students looked confused as Fluttershy stood in front of the birds. She smiled in excitement as her birds readied themselves.
“Now class,” She began making sure she had everyone's attention. She coughed a little when she saw Razor still drawing in his journal. Her cough caught his attention and stopped drawing, “I am going to show something I taught all of these birds to do,” She explained before looking at the birds, “Ready?” She asked receiving a nod from one of the birds.
When Razor saw her pick up a baton; he knew what she was about to do. Using his magic he opened his saddle bag again. This time he pulled out a pair of ear muffs; which he quickly placed over his ears. Wintergreen noticed this and smiled; he then quickly got Yona's attention. She looked at him and then noticed that he was pointing at Razor. Who was currently wearing a pair of headphones. He was trying to ignore the birds song. She was still mad at how he insulted one of Fluttershy's birds. But, now he was going to ignore them. Just before they started to sing. With a huff she got out of her desk and made her way to him. Just before Fluttershy waved her baton; Yona had grabbed his ears muffs and pulled them off. Razor gasped before the birds stared to sing.
“No.” Razor groaned as he brought his hooves up to cover his ears.
Yona shook her head in annoyance; before trying to pull his hooves back down, “Listen to their song.” She almost yelled.
“No,” He shouted, “No! No! No!” He started to scream.
This was the exact reaction both Wintergreen and Cool mint were hoping for. At that moment Cool mint quickly got up to help Yona. Yelling at the colt who was trying to break out of her hold. Wintergreen then began to yell.
“Listen to their song!” He yelled repeatedly; causing more than a few students to join in.
Fluttershy quickly got her birds quiet; while the class continued to yell over at Razor. A few students screamed in fear. As Razor used his magic to lift Yona and Cool mint up and throw them. A few students scrambled out of their desks. Just before they were sent crashing into them. Yona's friends' quickly got to her side; while Razor brought his hooves back up to his ears. He then started to make a rather annoying groaning sound.
Smolder growled and quickly walked over to Razor. Pushing him down onto his back hard, “What's the matter with you!?” She growled.
“Smolder, calm.” Fluttershy began to say before another student interrupted her.
“Yeah, what's you're problem!?” One of the fillies in her class yelled.
A earth colt stood up, “You could have hurt them! What were you thinking?” The colt asked while Razor looked at them in horror, “What are you stupid?” The colt finished.
Fluttershy gasped, “Rough Terrain, we do not.”
“He's not stupid,” Wintergreen quickly spoke. Fluttershy sighed in relief; happy to see somepony defending him, “He's like my cousin, Half baked. He's retarded!” He finished causing Fluttershy's eyes' to go wide in shock.
“Yeah, You're right, he is retarded.” A filly pegasus responded.
Razor looked around hearing all of them yelling at him. Hearing them calling him names. Names he had though he had gotten used to. But, once again he could feel a single tear run down from his face. Smolder had little time to react when she saw Razor shoot to his hooves. Everyone watched as Razor ran out of the classroom. Some of them yelling for him to run. While others were more worried about Yona. When the class calmed down; they were met with the disappointed stare of Fluttershy. It was then all them felt and icy cold wind blow past them. They still felt it as their teacher ran after Razor.
Razor was running as fast as he could through the halls of the school. Tears ran down his face like rivers. He burst through the door and ran into the schools massive library. He quickly found a nice quiet place; he was breathing heavily. The laughter, the noise, the names he was called. He could still hear them. He covered his ears and sat down; he continued to make that noise from earlier. He did eventually fall to the ground into the fetal position. His ears covered but he had stopped making the noise. His eyes were closed and his face had his usual neutral expression. He remained calm and still in that position long after Starlight had found him. She tried to get him to respond to her. But, he stayed quiet. Muttering only a few words so silent he could rival Fluttershy.
“Please, stop the noise. Please, stop the noise.”
He opened one of his eyes only to relive a moment from his childhood. One where he was hiding underneath his bed. While his mother and father were fighting in the living room. Both of them were screaming, yelling, cursing, slapping and punching each other. Glass was heard being broken while screams of pain echoed.
“Please, stop. Please, stop. Please, stop.” He muttered repeatedly; his ears covered by his hooves. While Starlight continued to try and calm him down.

I know I'm using words that are going to be making most readers angry. but, lets face it; many people see autistic people as retarted. problem children and arrogant bitches and bastards. it's a hard truth but a truth. that's why I'm putting these labels in here. Not because I'm being a bigot. not because I'm being an asshole. but, because this shit happens irl. can it be stopped, no. but can a better understanding of the spectrum help people see. those with autism are like everybody else. in my opinion, yes it can. anyway leave a like or comment.
