Chapter 1

A mistake: that was all she was. It was her fault, all of it. Her mother... she had killed her mother with her own existence. She was worthless, and miserable, she deserved to die. To go to a place beyond- but not with her mommy, she didn't deserve that privilege.

She looked at the wall through iron bars that would never be opened, could never be opened. It was adorned with photos- photos of her mother. Her mother was so beautiful. Her beautiful flowing mane, such a gentle, delicate pink, with sparkling blue eyes, and a warm, cozy yellow coat. She looked down at her own mane, it was once that color, now it was a dirty, brownish-black. It had grown out of control with frayed ends. It was nothing but dreadlocks.

She loved the mother that she never had the privilege to meet. Fluttershy, that was her mothers name. She did not have a name, but she liked to call herself Bunny, her mommy's favorite animal, and her beloved pet.

Bunny remembered Angel from when she was younger. Angel hated her for taking mommy away from him. Just like mummy. She had 2 mothers, she knew. Mommy was gone. But Mummy was not, Mummy was angry about that. Mummy hurt her. She knew deep in he heart that Mommy, never would have hurt her.

Sometimes, Mommy talked to her. She whispered things in her head like, I still love you my honey bunny, and, It's not your fault, you didn't do anything wrong. She always wanted to believe that last one, but that's not what Mummy said.

Mummy would say things like, "You worthless piece of murdering trash, I hate you!" and, "You can take her away so easily, but can't bring back, can you? You don't want to save her! You want her to be dead!"

Mommy told her stories too. Like how she got he cutie mark, the time she defeated a manticore with kindness, and her struggle to open Sweet Feather Sanctuary.

She focused hard, willing Mommy to tell her another story. Of course my honey bunny, I'll do anything I can for you.

"Mommy, will you ever leave me?"

I will be here as long as you need me to be.

"Can you talk to Mummy? Can you make her stop?"

I'm sorry Honey Bunny, but that's one thing I can't. Your mummy is.. sick. She doesn't understand. She just misses me. Don't blame her.

"Was she always like this?"

No, she was a lovely mare. She was kind, and loving. Have I ever told you Mummy's full name?

"No, what is it?"

Princess Twilight Sparkle. She was my Twili. Together, we where TwiShy.

"Mummy was a princess?!"

Yep, the best kind of Princess too, the Princess of Friendship!

"Wow! I can't believe she's so different now."

You and I both Honey Bunny. It's getting late, you should try and get some rest.

"Okay Mommy, I'll try extra hard, just for you!"

That's my good little filly! Good Night, Honey. Mommy began to sing her a lullaby, it was her lullaby. Mommy said she wrote it for her before she was born.

Honey, little Honey,
sweetie, my love!
Bunny, tiny Bunny,
when I sing,
from up above.
Know I'll always be with you,
even through the clouds!
Remember, remember,
we'll make it through somehow!

She had been asleep since the 3rd line, but she heard the rest in her dreams.

Chapter 2

"Wake up, you worthless piece of shit!" Bunny woke up to Mummy's screaming voice. "Eat your dam breakfast before I give you the rod!" She looked down at the bowl next to her. Oat loops sitting in yellowish milk. She stuck her muzzle into the bowl and took a small sip. Spoiled. She didn't want to swallow, but she didn't want the rod even more. She ate the entire bowl, choking down every disgusting bite, while Mummy watched, smiling the whole time.

"You know the drill, stay quiet, I hear a peep, and you get the punishment. " Bunny knew that she would be punished no matter what, still, it would be worse if she disobeyed. Mummy disappeared up the stairs, slamming the door behind her.

"Mommy, she did it again." She spoke to Fluttershy.

I know Honey, I saw. You know I know things sometimes.

"Yes Mommy, I know. Do you know something? Like how to make her stop?"

Not exactly. Things are going to get much better very soon.

"Really? I can't wait!"

Just be careful of your decisions, and it will.

"Can you tell me Mommy?"

No, you know I can't Honey.I really wish that I could, but I just can't.

"What is my real name?"

Honeyshy. Honeyshy Sparkle. But I was just going to call you honey.

"Will you call me Honeyshy please?"

Of course, Honeyshy, I love you.

Chapter 3

"Mommy, why can't you come back?"

You know why Honeyshy, ponies can't, once their gone, that's it. But always remember, I'm still with you.

"I miss you Mommy. I wish you where still here. I wish I lived upstairs with you and Mummy. I wish we where a happy family."

Me too, but it's better to focus on the positive, that's what your grandmare always said.

"Like what."

Well, you have all these cute little spiders to keep you company.

"But I don't speak spider like you do. Would you tell me what that yellow one is saying?"

He's says hi, his name is gerald. He's usually afraid of ponies but you seem nice.

"Mommy, I've just had the best idea! Can you go find rarity? If you talk to her, mabye she can help me!"

You know, I've never thought of that, It just might work! Oh, but I'd have to leave you alone for Celectia knows how long! What if you need me.

" It's okay Mommy, I'm a big girl, I'll be okay."

Okay Honeyshy, but just be careful.

"I will Mommy, I promise."

I'm back sweetie. How are you, did anything happen while I was gone?

"No Mommy, I've just been taking a nap. What did Rarity say?"

She said she's going to call social services.

"Mommy, what sogil services?"

SOCIAL services are the nice people who make sure that foals are safe with people.

"Oh, okay."

"What the fuck do you mean I've been reported?! I don't even have a fucking daughter!" Mummy screamed above her. "I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you but those records are WRONG! You can't do this to me, I'm the fucking PRINCESS of EQUESTRIA! Oh yah, well good fucking day to you too asshole!"

She could hear Mummy's footsteps stomping over to the kitichen. Her insecive swearing made her even easier to track. Mummy clambored around in the kitchen for awhile before she stomped downstairs with a plate of steamy pankakes. "Hey kid, I made you a little treat. But first, tell me that you love me." Mummy spoke through grited teeth.

"I love you with all of heart Mummy." She lied convincingly. Mummy then handed her the plate of pankakes through the bars, turned and stomped back up the stairs, and slammed the door shut behind her. Honeyshy hesitently poked at the pankakes before trying a small bite. It was.. normal. That was'nt normal though, that was the first time in monthes she ate something that was'nt noticibly expired, and the first time science she was locked up she got more then one meal a day. Still, she finished, the warm, sticky pankakes too tempting to pass up.

As soon as she was done she laid down and went back to sleep. She woke up struggling to breath, She listioned quietly and heard her mother's voice, and an unfamillier one.

"There is nothing in the basement, I assure you! I don't have a fucking dauter, what don't you understand?!"

"If there's nothing down there, then why is it so important I don't go down there?"

Just then, it got even harder for honeyshy to breathe, she sat up and suddenly had the urdge to vomit. She did so very loudly, and violently, causing the voices up stairs to quiet, imidiately followed by the opening of the door. Someone who was not mommy came running down the stairs and gasped at the sight. It got even harder for Honeyshy to breathe and she passed out.

Author's Note

I actually did the research on the symptoms of thallium poisoning to try and get this as accurate as possible.

Epiloge

Honeyshy recovered completely healthwise, other than permanent scoliosis. She wears a back brace now and goes to school. She is very happy living with Sweetie Bell. She goes to weekly counseling appointments and is recovering well. She has lots of friends and a loving family such as her uncle zephyr, and grandparents. Of course, she also considers Sweetie, Rarity and their parents as her family. One day she will meet up with her mommy again, but until that day comes she cherishes the memories of her mommy that she does have.

Author's Note

I know that was a really short story but I lost my motivation to write it after chapter 3.

Chapter 4

Honeyshy woke up very confused as to her location. She heard a steady beeping noise beside her. And what was she laying on? It was warm, and soft, fuzzy and comforting. Most unlike the cold hard damp floor of the basement she slept on every night. There was a red button attached to the was beside her it read: bre..ss.. foor.. he..lpi? Press for help! She was very proud of herself for being able to read it. She leaned over and pressed it.

"Oh good your awake!" A stallion stepped into the room and turned on the lights. Honeyshy turned away from the ceiling and shut her eyes tight. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm a little hungry, but I'm fine. Where am I? Who are you?"

"My name is Doctor Carewrap and you're in the hospital. What would you like to eat? We have lots of food in the snack room."

"Do you have soup? And maybe some crakers if that's okay? But first, can you tell me why I'm at the hospital? I'm not sick."

"Well, you ingested a large amount of thallium. Do you remember eating anything weird?"

"I in..somethinged what?"

"You ate a lot of thallium. thallium is a type of metal and it's very dangerous."

"Well, Mummy made me some pancakes. And Mummy never cooks good things for me, only bad things."

"Who is Mummy?"

"Princess ... uh, Princess ... Sparkle?"

"Okay, and what are 'bad things'?"

"Like stale crackers, and spoiled milk in my cereal. "

"Okay Honey, I'll go get you some soup and crackers okay?"

"How did you know my name was Honeyshy?"

"Just a lucky guess I suppose! What's your last name?"

"I don't know."

"That's okay, we'll figure it out." He walked out of the room scribbling something down on his clipboard.

"Mommy, did I do a good job?"

Yes, you did a very good job. You are safe now. Mummy can't hurt you anymore.

"Are you sure?"

Yes Honey, I'm sure. You don't need to worry anymore. But you also don't need me anymore. It's time to move on.

"But I love you, Mommy! I want to come with you!"

And you will one day when it's your turn. But it's not your turn yet. And remember I will always be watching you, I will always love you, and if you need me again before it's your turn, I ill come back. Pinkie promise. Goodbye Honeyshy, I love you too.

"Bue bye, Mommy I'll miss you."
