The lost boy
Chapter 14 all on the line
Previous ChapterCertain circumstances have prevented me from posting sooner. But finally I have written the part where it all goes wrong. Some one's coming.
It's time for the meeting and I can't stop sweating. Everything is in place and the back up plans are set. Walking down the alley way I adjust the contraption on the hostages neck for the thousandth time. In front of me I see the back door to the donut shop. Making my way inside I am sad to see that Joe is not here. Taking the trays out of the freezer I stuff the hostage into it and close the door. With all of that done I'm finally ready to walk into their trap.
Seeing the six girls sitting at a booth I prepare my self for introductios. My two MEs are already at their stations. One was behind the counter and one was sitting near the painting. Only one of them had been noticed.
"Sorry about being late but she was putting up a fight." Putting as much hate as I could into the words it seem to get the point across.
"What!?" "HOW DARE-!?!" "YOU COCKY-" "Meanie!" They're getting angrier faster than I thought. The white unicorn on the other hand went on a unbearable tangent. I put up my finger to quiet them. "The girl is in the kitchen but first let's talk." As soon as I said that the rainbow haired one immediately jumped out of her seat and went for the kitchen. This was not according to plan so I tried to grab her but missed. So the noticed ME had to tackle her and hold her down.
"No. That's not how this works. We are going to have a nice chat and then we'll part ways." Glancing out the window the guards had gotten noticeably closer. At this point they weren't even trying to hide anymore. Wait. No. Under closer examination they just suck at it.
Rainbow was forcibly pushed back into the booth. Then ME went back to the painting. "Let's get names out of the way. My name is Fear S. Devil. What's yours?"
"Pinkie Pie!" Yelling that out at the top of her lungs was not. . . expected.
"Rainbow Dash. You probably heard of me." Oh dear God I could practically hear the narcissism in her words.
"Rarity." . . . Well that was sharp.
"Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia's personal student." Didn't need to know that but oh well. The cowgirl just kept glaring.
Ok, then let the games begin. Honestly I don't care about what this conversation unveils. What matters is that I cross everything off my checklist. Know it's their turn though it's obvious the only reason they didn't call the guards in was because they wanted to learn about the enemy.
The cowgirl started the conversation with what I expected "What's with him?" "Their friends and before you ask I brought them along so you didn't outnumber me." That got them to look at me in shock. With that statement they kept looking around for the others.
My turn again. Lets end my turn by letting my ring do some digging. So asking my first question I look the mystery pony in the eye and ask "how's the family Applejack?".
Her look of anger spoke for itself but I could see she was getting a little nervous. She didn't answer before they came at me with another question, this time from Twilight. "Why are you doing this?" Taking a second, I answer with the truth. "Because I want to." That left her gaping like a fish. With the ball in my court I decide to throw yet another curve ball. "How's Shiny?" Whoever this "Shiny" was doesn't matter. What matters is she's afraid of me being near her.
At this point they all start to realize what I'm doing. With a quick glance the guards practically had their faces pressed against the glass. With a quick tap the two that came with me made their move. "How do you sleep at night?!" Turning back around I see that came from Skittles. "Evil never does."
I stand and began to walk around the room. First I walk to the painting which has the biggest risk of them all hidden away. There he was . . . crying and looking emotionally dead but afraid nonetheless. His connection with this Fluttershy was much stronger then I thought. Thinking about it they're all so much softer then I realized. Taking out my phone I text Vex before handing it to the visible ME. Listing to the melody that was softly playing I begin my speech.

"Listen up! I'm no one special and everything that led up to this was an accident." Saying this there's a sudden pain but my mask hides my wince. "But nevertheless I will do what I want no matter the consequences. While I'm having my fun you can try your best to stop me, but I'll fight back. " Ending this speech I see they are smugly smiling with the "gotcha" look in their eyes.
A few seconds later the other ME makes his escape. I make my way to the front entrance while the one playing the music completes his final task and makes his way out. With that over with, I step outside. Looking back inside they're all in shock. Probably wondering what happened to the guards. Vex did his job extremely well.
While they're still in shock I point to the now burning painting. As they panic I leave. Walking out of the town no one stops me. Starting to giggle I can only imagine their faces when they saw who my bargaining chip was. But what they don't realize is that the contraption won't wait and the key is safely hidden away. Hopefully whatever is on her face can bring enough fear.
[ I believe this would be a good motivator ;-) ]
I sure hope they're hungry.
. . .
Another victory in the bag.
. . .
So . . . Whats next? Haha.
. . .
Picking up the pace I keep a close eye on my surroundings. Something's wrong but I don't know what . . Or am I just being paranoid?
. . .*sigh*
. . . Hello?
. . .
Is anybody there?
. . .
TALK FUCKER!
. . .
I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!?
. . .
SHOW YOUR FUCKING FACE YOU MOTHER FUCKER!
. . .
. . . . . . hello?
. . .
In a panic I begin to sprint. I try to run away but I don't know where away is. Deciding to just leave the area I begin my desperate retreat. Looking for my pursuer there's no one to be seen. But the sudden, sharp headache is making it hard to think let alone run.
. . .
Running out of the city I can still feel it behind me. Glancing behind me I don't see anyone but that silence was deafening.
. . .
With a sharp pain shooting up my leg I fall face first. Sliding off the edge I cling on for dear life. Through all the pain I try to pull myself back up.
. . .
With a crack my fingers flare in pain and I let go of the ledge.
"WAIT! PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS!"
. . .
With another crack my plea is unheard and I start to tumble down the mountain. With my chest tightening I prepare for what's to come. When it's quick or painless I don't fear death but I'm not going far enough for that. Landing on the first rock my arm bone decided to pay me a visit and with that I am seeing stars. With a muffled howl of pain I bounce and prepare for what's to come.
. . .
. . .
This hell is finally over and I rest my head on the cold hard grass. Laying there unable to move I can only ponder my injuries. My arms are completely shattered, my brain has been shaken like a maraca, one leg is barely attached and the other is gone, glass is in my eyes, my chest is open, my back is at a 90 degree angle, my face is deformed, and I'm a woman now. This is unbelievably painful but blissful unconsciousness has not graced me with it's presence.
Tsk, tsk, tsk
"Hello"
My name is Sin.
There are a few things yet to be established.
You didn't mention that someone gave you this power.
I don't care about anything else.
Your life doesn't matter.
Your emotions don't matter.
I just need you to survive and make me look good.
I gave you this chance to serve a greater purpose and you messed it up.
But I am a forgiving god
so take your punishment and learn from this.
But. . . What. . . How
Just do what you feel like doing. If it hurts you're doing it wrong. Yes I made it that easy for you. You're welcome.
Oh and don't tell anyone about my little pep talk.
Once everything went silent I could feel that his presence had left. With all that said and done, I could do nothing.
Nothing but cry and wait for the sweet embrace of death.
