Chapter - 2

Me, Ditzy, Pinkie Pie, and Dinky started talking on the way to the party. It was nothing more than name's and a few interests. Pinkie Pie apparently likes to throw party's for anyone new to town. Ditzy is the mailmare and likes muffins; also everyone calls her Derpy because of her eyes. Dinky is in seventh grade and manages to get at least B's in all her classes.

We talked about a few other topics when Dinky suddenly got a look of inspiration and started whispering to Ditzy. While they were doing that, I looked at the town as we walked. It certainly wasn't modern but not old either. It had a rustic charm that only towns in the country could have; or as the high class would say, "Backwater trash that could be something."

I shook my head, 'No, I'm not around them anymore. I don't have to think like that. I can just be me now.' I felt a small tug on my shirt. Looking down I saw Dinky with puppy dog eyes.

"Mr. Zack. If it's ok with you can you help me with my magic on Saturdays. Mom says it's ok if you agree."

"Why do you want me to teach you and not any of the other unicorns?"

"Most unicorns here in ponyville have affinities with earth and air. The few that do have a water affinity only know the basics and can't really teach me."

"And what makes you think I can?" I rose a brow.

"You taught me how to control my magic when no one else could," her eyes grew slightly and began to sparkle, "Please teach me magic Mr. Zack." I felt my body stiffen as a memory came flooding forward.

"Please teach me magic big brother." My sister was begging me to teach her magic for the millionth time. She was on a white dress and groomed blond hair. I was about to say no again but was interrupted.

"Anastasia! What have I told you about talking with it!" We looked over to father. He had on a suit that all high class nobles wear with a thick blond mustache and beard, "You are not to be talking with it again! Do I make myself clear?"

Anastasia looked down, "Yes Father."

"Good, now let's go. You can't be late for your lessons."

"Yes Father." As Anastasia walked off father looked at me. His face twisted into anger and malice. He walked up to me and stood there for a few seconds.

He back handed me across the cheek, "You are to never speak to her again. Understood?"

"Yes Father." He glared at me before simply waking off. 'I will get my revenge one day.' I thought to myself as I watched him leave, clenching my fist.

I was brought back to the present. I was shaking and in a cold sweat. I looked down to see a slightly scared Dinky. I rubbed my face and looked away.

"I... I have to think about it." The rest of the walk was spent in silence.

We made it to a three-story building that looked like it was made of candy. The first two stories of the building looked like a gingerbread house, with gumdrops and frosting on the roof. On top of it and making the third story was a giant cupcake. The weird thing was that the lights were off, like all of them.

"Are you sure this is the right place Pinkie Pie?" I looked over to her

"Yep! This is the place. Just go right on in." She started bouncing in place. She seems to be very energetic. I walked up to the door and opened it. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything inside.

"Pinkie Pie are you absolut-"

"SURPRISE!" The lights turned on and everybody jumped out. Some set of a few party poppers. I jumped slightly but easily calmed down. I walked inside the small bakery, Pinkie Pie rushed past me and started up the party. The DJ started playing some kind of dubstep and people danced to it. The place was covered in streamers and confetti. A food and drinks table were placed in the back. I smiled and went straight to the back. I haven't eaten all day and could use something to eat.

I grabbed a few cupcakes and some punch and sat down in a booth no one was using. Dinky was off talking to a few other kids who showed up. I looked down into my drink and stared at my reflection.

I was thrown onto the ground, my suitcase landing next to me. I looked up at mother and father. Mother wore a silk dress and had her hair up in a bun. They looked down at me with disgust.

Father spoke, "You are a disgrace to this family! You are stripped of the Heavysteel family name and forbidden from returning!"

I stood up, "Why!? Why are you doing this to me!?"

"A filthy Fire aspect child has no place in the Earth aspect Heavysteel family. You are banished from any place that belongs to this family and will be killed on sight if caught trying to enter. Now leave, before I change my mind and kill you now."

I felt my anger reach a boiling point, "AHHH!" I threw my left arm forward, palm facing them, and let out a torrent of fire. Letting it wash over mother and father. No.... My birth givers.

I was brought back to the present by a gentle shaking. The cup I had was crashed in my palm and melting. I looked up to see Ditzy was the one who brought me back.

She sat down across from me, "Are you ok? You looked really mad and started melting your cup. Luckily I caught you before anypony else noticed."

I sighed and cleaned up what I could of the mess, "Thank you for that."

She gave a soft smile, "No worries. I do want to talk to you however."

"Is it about Dinky?" She nodded, "Honestly, I'm surprised your trusting me to train her."

Her look hardened, "Truth is, I don't trust you. The only reason I'm letting you is because you help her to control it. If anything happens to her, I'll have your head."

I felt a shiver crawl down my spine, 'Damn she's scary.'

"Noted. I should tell you however, that my training will be difficult. It'll start out simple enough but it will get very difficult. Cuts, bruises, even broken bones are a possibility. I'll do my best to treat her but I'm not a doctor. Is that alright with you?" She took on a thoughtful look for a few moments.

"No, it isn't, but I also know that she'll have to go through it at one point or another. Please take good care of her."

I chuckled, "It's not like I'm taking her away from you. I'm only going to be training her from noon to sunset once a week."

"Does that mean your going to train her?"

I stopped for a moment. The way I was talking it was like I already decided to train her. I smiled to myself.

"Yeah, but that's if Dinky is ready for it. HEY DINKY!" She turned to me and I waved her over. She came running over, "I'm going to teach you how to use magic." Her smile spread from ear to ear, "But it won't be easy. Cuts, bruises, even broken are a strong possibility. Are you ready for that?" She squirmed a little but held a determined look.

"I'll take anything you throw at me."

I chuckled and messed up her hair, "That's the spirit. Now let's party!"

Me, Dinky, Ditzy, and everyone else had a great time. A rainbow haired girl and a girl wearing stetson hat got into a drinking contest. Dinky introduced me to her friends Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Apple Bloom was the younger sister to the woman in the hat, Applejack was her name. Sweetie Belle was the younger sister to Rarity Belle, the one that was disgusted by my home. Scootaloo was the number one fan of the rainbow haired girl, Rainbow Dash. We had fun and the party eventually came to a stop. I was walking back home while looking up at the night sky.

I was standing in main hall in the mansion. Most rooms were collapsed or on fire. Explosions from another part of the mansion went off, shaking the whole building. My male birth giver was across from me, most of his body was covered in burns. I wasn't fairing much better, bloody and bruised. I ran forward and tried to punch him. He brought up his arms, catching my arm in earth. He threw a uppercut but stopped half way through, causing a pillar of earth to strike me in the chest. He slowly raised his arm, pushing the pillar further. My arm was still trapped and was slowly being pulled from my body.

"AHHHHH!" My arm was staring to tear from my body. My shoulder dislocated and the muscle started to rip apart. As I screamed in agony I looked my birth giver in the face. He wore a smile that went from ear to ear. My flesh tore apart and my arm was ripped off. I landed on my back and screamed, holding onto my wound. I used my fire to cauterize the wound and stood back up. His smile never left his face. I looked up and saw the ceiling start to crumble.

"I guess this is the end birth giver." He chuckled and started walking forward. I sent a fire ball at the ceiling. The ceiling collapsed and crushed him. His blood seeped from under the stone. I walked out the mansion and looked back. Anastasia, I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye.

I shook my head, 'I won't let the same thing happen to Dinky.' I entered my house and walked in my room. I took a quick shower and crawled into bed. I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep
